Kingdom Hearts II: Long Way Home

Chapter 12: Still Alive?

I never used as much MP in my life, even after the battle with Ansem. I healed her so much to the point of exhaustion. I checked her pulse again and it was going stronger.

"Mai! I still can feel her heart!" I panicked with excitement. "She's still alive!"

"Sora! Knock it off! She's gone!" Donald yelled.

"Shut it! I know she's alive!" I put my ear to her heart and I heard a bit of thumping. I gasped and picked her up, getting up as well, "Goofy! I heard her heartbeat!"

Goofy sadly sighed and grabbed her dangling wrist. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and reopened them with a smile.

"Donald! Come check it out!" He shouted and Donald sighed, walking up to us. I knelt down to his size and he check her pulse.

He gasped, "Wak! Mai! You're alive!"

"Barely, she's still unconscious..." I stated, looking down at her, "Why isn't she waking up?"

"Oh, I'll tell you why, cutie!" A voice echoed throughout the room. Me and the others looked around and a fairy appeared right in front of me. She had black hair and purple dress. The feature that caught my attention was Mai's eyes, "She's afraid to come out!"

"What? That's ridiculous! Who are you?" I asked and she laughed.

"My name is Eri. I'm a guardian fairy..." She had a sweet smile but I didn't trust her. "You must be the boy who killed her... Sora, right?"

I gasped; she wasn't lying when she said that. "I..."

"Sora would never, ever hurt another livin' soul!" Goofy said and I turned my head towards him.

"Yeah, Sora loves Mai! Why would he kill her?" Donald said and I sighed with a sad smile.

"Regardless," the fairy said, "she's wanting to see smiling faces, not depressed and woe-was-me crap... Catching on?"

I thought a bit. She wants to see me happy... that is like her...

I softly smiled and looked down at her. "Mai... You're right. I shouldn't be sad. You promised you would come back and look where we are. I missed you so much and I'm happy to be here with you..." I leaned into her and passion was found as I captured her lips, her soft kissable lips. They were warm and they were kissing back. I widened my eyes and realized that I was starting deep into green. I pulled away with a gasp and out of shock.

"Sora..." Her voice has changed into a more mature and dulcet voice. It made my name sound like heaven.

"Mai... You've awaken..." I hugged her and cried happily into her shoulder. I felt her warm hands run through my spikey hair. "Mai..."

"You're such a hopeless sweetheart..." She joked with me and wiped my cheek.

Mai's POV

I was alive. I remember everything! From the time I meet Kairi and Noel in Radiant Garden to when my sister turned to crystal and disappeared. I remember everyone from my past. Including... No, I won't say his name.

None of that mattered now I was safely in his arms.

"Flower..." He shedded another tear of joy and I wiped it away. I gave him a small kiss on the cheek. He blushed slightly and smile. "I missed you so much..."

"I love you so much!" I responded and gave kiss on the lips. I realized was sitting on his lap and he had his arms around my waist. I blushed a slightly pink as I pulled away.

"Mai... I love you too." He smiled and leaned his forehead against mine.

"Geez, get a room you two!" Called my annoying guardian. We both glared at her and she blinked. "What?"
