"The only thing left, is his robe." she handed me your robe. I grabbed for it, this couldn't be..."He isn't gone...is he?" "Not exactly." she said, I smiled some in relief. She handed me your coat, it smells like you. "He won't wake up however." "Why not?!" I was furious, at you and at myself, that I let myself be put in that sort of danger, and that you even did that in the first place. "Not for a while anyway, he went through a lot of damage." she said. "Where is he?!" I yelled out. "He's at Castle Oblivion of course.." I grit my teeth, why me? "Are you going to find him?" she asked. I put the coat on, I didn't zip it, and I didn't put the sleeves to my shoulders, just to my elbows. "I'm going to need this to get to them, won't I?" I asked, then smiled at her. She smiled "this is going to be difficult you know. You're going to have to explore the worlds and find the true hole of nothingness." I perked my head up "the portal is at twilight town!" I yelled out. "Correct, but it's locked. You have to unlock the hearts of the worlds, and they will joint together to open the portal. Then you will have to battle the organization." she said. I sighed "Kairi I'm sorry I can't stay home..." Kairi smiled "it's okay, I know Riku is your best friend. Is there anything I can do to help?" Kairi asked. I shook my head "No, he recused me and I'm going to do the same for him." she smiled fondly at me "You've changed Sora, you promised you wouldn't." Kairi said. "I'm sorry Kairi." I walked over to her and kissed the top of her head "I love him. I loved you, but-" "I know, I'm glad I was your first love though." Kairi smiled as I let go of her and stepped at a friendly distance with her. "When did you realize you loved him?" she asked. I smiled "I think we both knew when." I said. Kairi held out her charm. "Take this. It'll keep you boys safe." I took it and put it in my pocket. "Thanks Kairi." I smiled at her. "What about Donald and Goofy?" Kairi asked. "They'll be coming along with me." I said. "That's good, you need someone helping you out over there." Kairi said. "Kairi?" "Hm?" "You were there...when he...what did he say?" she paused. "Tell that wimp that I'll be back for him, if you don't he'll cry forever." I smiled as tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm sorry Riku.." I murmured under my breath. "Sora, you'll find him. You can save him." "Even if I get to him how will I wake him up?" Kairi smiled. "I'm sure you can figure it out." I sighed and dug my hands in my pockets. "They're here." Kairi said as she turned her head to Donald and Goofy walking over to us. "Donald! Goofy!" I yelled out and hugged them tightly, them hugging me back. "Sora!" they both yelled out as the three of us laughed together, tackling each other in the sand. "How's the king?" I asked, sitting in the sand. "We don't really know. Once he found out what happened to Riku he went off on his own to help us unlock the hearts of the world." Donald said. "A-hyuck! He said we'll have to be ones who wake him up!" Goofy said. "I can't believe he tells me I slack! He's the one who's sleeping back at Castle Oblivion!" I laughed, Donald and Goofy smiled. I think they sensed my true emotions. "I could use a nap.." Jiminy said, poking his head out from goofy's gear and jumping onto my shoulder. "Jiminy! You got another journal?" Sora asked. "Yep! And this one is going to be the best one yet!" Jiminy said and we all laughed. Donald and Goofy hopped into the gummy ship. "C'mon Sora! We gotta go!" Donald yelled out. I walked over to Kairi and gave her a final hug goodbye "I'll see you and Riku soon.." Kairi whispered and I smiled at her. "We'll see you soon, bye Kairi." I walked into the gummy ship as the door closed and it took off to our first world.
