That's when Sora awoke. That's when Kairi awoke.

Kairi opened her eyes slowly. She was in Sora's lap still. She looked at him to find him in a semiconscious state. He was looking around dumbly. Their eyes met. "Good Morning Kairi," Sora whispered before kissing her. The dream was still in his head and he was violently trying to get rid of it. Kairi stood and stretched stiffly. Sora wiped the sleep out of his eyes as he checked the scanners. "Anything on screen?" asked Kairi. "No, nothing yet." "Hmm." Kairi walked off, trying to find the kitchen. When she found it she started a pot of coffee. As it was brewing, that one girl came in. Kairi watched her as she moved. Hikaru, she said her name was. Kairi didn't like her. But she trusted Sora. Hikaru left, leaving Kairi to her thoughts. The coffee pot dinged, signaling its readiness. Kairi fixed her and Sora a cup and walked to the bridge. "I didn't know how you liked coffee, so it's straight." Sora jumped at hearing this. "Ahh, Kairi, you surprised me. I didn't hear you walk in." Sora stood and walked to Kairi. "Thank you, Kairi." Sora took his coffee. He sipped it quietly as Kairi walked away. Then he realized he was staring at her butt. He quickly looked away. The radar caught his eye. Transverse Town was at the edge. "Hmm, two hours till landing." Sora walked to the Plasteel window. He stared at the worlds rushing by. He knew some of them. Wonderland, the Coliseum, Japan, Destiny Island. He followed its progress till it was too far away. He missed his home. The beach was his favorite place, besides his cave. He started toward the hall leading to the captain's quarters. That's when he heard the crying. It was that of a child. Poor thing sounds like it heart was being torn apart, Thought Sora. Then he remembered. There was or is no child on Kyoko. He started to run to the MCD (Main Computer Deck a.k.a. the bridge), when it stopped. He stopped. Listening for it. When he didn't hear it again he started back to his room. He opened his door and walked in. He looked around. He saw the CCJ (Captain's Computer Journal) and walked to it. "Kyoko, turn the CCJ on please." He saw his old Journals. He watched them, trying to reacquaint himself with himself. He quit. He just couldn't believe how naïve he was five years ago. He was pathetic. He stood and walked to his bed. He sat on the edge, holding his aching head in his hands. It was the tenth migraine since leaving Kingdom Hearts. He laid back while massaging his temple when he heard a knock. "Yes?" He yelled, somewhat harshly. "I'll be landing in 10 minutes, Sora." It was Kyoko, performing her duties as always. Sora Got up and walked out.

Kairi was in her room, holding her keyblade. She killed Ansem. Even though he was evil, he didn't deserve to die. She Desummoned the Queen. She wouldn't be needing it for a while. She laid back and fell asleep.

Sora walked to Hikaru's room. He rapped the door quickly. Hikaru opened the door and asked, "Yes?" darkly. "We are about to land. Do you have anything beside that robe to wear?"

"No." "Then you will have to stay on the ship until we can pick you up something. The same rules apply. Kyoko will be watching you." With that Sora Walked to his room, opened the door, and passed out on his bed.

After landing in the cavern, Sora and Kairi set off for the First District. There they split up, Sora going to see Cid, Kairi to the item shop. As Sora walked, he thought about the dream. Before he realized it he was where Cid usually was. Sora looked around for Cid. Upon not seeing him, Sora jumped off the nearby ledge, taking the quick way to the item shop. He saw Kairi through the window, looking at various dresses and blouses. He walked in. he was almost interrupted by an older looking Huey. "Here's your package, Sora. Everything should be there." Sora had forgotten about his order. He had ordered new clothes before he had had to leave for Kingdom Hearts. He started back toward Kairi, thinking about what to do next. That's when he saw Cloud and Leon. Luckily, they hadn't seen him yet. He crouched down and walked faster. Once he got to Kairi he stood. He told her about trying to stay inconspicuous. He also gave her a list of other items to get. Then he told her to be careful, and left for the ship. He glided most of the way, gliding always did calm him down. Once he got to the ship, he went to his room to put the new clothing on, being how the older ones were falling apart at the seams. The new clothes were all black. The black undershirt went on first, followed by the black pants and overcoat. Last but not least, the black gloves and boots. He now looked like an agent of evil. "Cool."

After Kairi had paid for the dresses, and a cool new outfit for her, she started back for the cave. As she walked, she brooded over what had happened at Kingdom Hearts. Even though being with Sora again was mind blowing, she still couldn't make the image of her keyblade going through Ansem. Before she knew it she was in the cave. Sora had made a small bonfire by the water. He was sitting there, encased in the shadows, and then Kairi realized he was wearing new clothes. She turned toward Kyoko and started to walk again.

Sora stared into the flames, letting them consume his soul. The flames danced and danced in Sora's vision, hypnotizing him and soothing him, calming some of the inner turmoil in his mind. He continued to stare as the flames brought visions of old battles and victories. He continued to stare into the dancing, leaping flames for hours. Kairi sat at the ramp of Kyoko, watching Sora. She was starting to get worried. It had been four hours since she had came back, and he had not moved from that one spot whatsoever. She stood and walked over to Sora. "Sora?" No answer. She sat down beside him and laid her hand on his arm, "Sora?" Still no answer.

Sora was caught in the vision of his battle with Magnificent, When she was just flying around on a platform. It was as if he was reliveing it. He could smell the ozone from her meteor attack, and the blood in the air, his blood mingled with that of Magnificant and the heartless. He was feeling the power of his hits, and feeling the pain of theirs.

Kairi was shaken, Sora had started to tremble. Then She noticed a wound on his neck, and another appeared on his hand, then his arm, side, and before long he was cut and bleeding all over. Kairi started to hyperventilate as more and more wounds appeared. She was scared, she had never seen this before. Kairi picked Sora up and ran to his room on the ship. She ripped his shirt and pants off to get to the cuts and gashes on those areas. He was still bleeding. Several hours later, she had finished bandaging Sora and left him in the infirmary. She was now plotting a course for hollow bastion
