Kingdom Hearts II: Home Sweet Sanctuary

Chapter 18: Quick Remarks

The light-haired bluette's conscious slowly come back to her. They were in the cabin of the Gummi Ship with Jiminy, Sora, Donald, and Goofy at her bed side.

"She's waking up!" Goofy pointed out and she opened her eyes more. She looked at them.

"Oh my stars, that was some scare you gave us." Jiminy said, opening his journal more. He wrote she was okay.

She sat up, groaning, "S-sorry... what happened?"

"You passed out by using to much of your mana!" Donald said. "A mage like yourself should know better than that."

She grinned until she remembered that Shun-yu threw Sora into Donald and Goofy and she blacked out afterwards. She knew what that meant. Her grinned disappeared, "What kind of magic did I use?"

There silence only confirmed her thoughts. She sighed and sadly looked down. "I'm sorry for any pain I caused..."

Sora shook his head and smiled, "No, you didn't cause us pain. Though, we aren't sure what happened to Shun-yu after you... Did whatever happened..."

"Actually, you said if he let his darkness consume him, he would disappear from that world." Donald said, "He disappeared."

She blinked, "I... sent him to another world."

"Or possibly just sent him to... Uh..." Donald tapped his foot.

"The Realm of Darkness." She said. She remembered that vision and closed her eyes. She needed someone to talk to about the future and someone who is brave enough to except it, never to change it. Who could she talk to?

"Piri!" Donald shouted.

"Oh... Uh s-sorry..." She yawned and laid back down.

"Are you still tired, Piri?" Goofy asked.

"Not really sure what to do... About my foreseeing powers." She sat back up and hugged her legs to her chest. "I need some to talk to about the visions I've seen but wouldn't do anything to change it. Know anyone who might do that?"

"Uh..." Sora crossed his arms and closed his eyes, deep in thought.

"There's the king," Donald suggested.

"Or Master Yen Sid!" Goofy happily gave her ideas.

"Those are good ideas but I want to tell someone who is like me..." She stared at the ground.

"So... How about Riku?" She looked up when Sora said his name. "He'll do anything to protect you!"

I shook my head and closed her eyes, "I do love him, no doubt, but I don't think he'd be able to handle some of the stuff I seen..." She shakily sighed as a tear stuck on her face. Sora hugged her and stroked her hair.

"I can't be what he was," Sora sadly smiled, "But I do know you're probably the strongest person I know."

"How can you-?"

"Because..." He shook his head, "Well, I don't know how to explain it but you inspired me a lot of times."

"I did?" She blinked and he nodded. She realized how much she meant to him. Who knows what he would be like if she hadn't woken up. 'Is that... a good thing or am I thinking too much of it?'

She shook head and got out of his arms, "Thanks for telling me that! I'm going go up and pick a world to go to."

Sora watched her climb up the ladder and he sighed. He took that as 'I don't need love from you, not like Riku is with me.'

"Gwarsh, I never seen deny a hug from you like that..." Goofy said, "Wonder what's going on!"

Sora sighed again and felt guilty, 'Am I the one causing her to do?'
