Title: Presence
Word Count: 424
Rating: G
Spoilers: KH1
Summary: Sora searched everywhere but within. Whenever he felt he couldn't go on, she would pull him back to his feet. [Sora/Kairi]
Notes: Happy Valentine's Day! I ate a chocolate heart while writing this. x]
When his heart first acknowledged her presence, she suddenly found herself standing before him. The notion was bewildering, and she wondered if he understood what had really happened to her.
…No, he didn’t. She couldn’t help but laugh at his confused expression (she always did love the baffled faces he made). Perhaps his heart and mind were only truly connected when they were in agreement with each other.
She quickly began talking about the first thing that came to her mind, instead of what he was desperately trying to ask her. She wanted to tell him everything: where she was, what had happened, and that she was safe. She knew talking about home would only frustrate him, if not upset him.
But she couldn’t tell him. Not yet. She didn’t want him to do anything rash.
When his heart acknowledged her presence a second time, he met her in a dream, and they sat together on the docks back home. She could tell fatigue was overwhelming him; his heart was weakening, becoming more prone to darkness.
“Where are you?” he asked. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”
She wanted nothing more than to tell him the truth. She smiled slightly, placing a hand over his.
“Silly… I’m right here.”
When his heart acknowledged her presence again, he reached too far and he drew too close to her, unintentionally digging into private memories. He saw the only person she remembered from her old home, and he felt the amazement and wonderment and everything that she could recall. He heard a story only meant for her; it was the only connection she had to her first world, her first life, her grandmother. She could hide nothing from him, not even the most personal of secrets.
She was embarrassed, but her memories gave him a newfound strength, and he was willing to continue for a little longer.
When his heart acknowledged her presence one final time, he was screaming for help. The darkness was simply too strong; his legs had given out and he had fallen to his knees. Someone had told him the truth, that her heart was sealed away in his, and he had accepted his fate for her, as if his life was nothing.
She had to act quickly. She was not going to lose him; she had to convince him to hold on for just a little longer…
His heart and mind heard her voice ringing clearly-
“Sora!”
-And her light enveloped his heart, and he suddenly had all the strength he needed.

Date: 2008-02-18 05:43 pm (UTC)I really really want to (and plan to) explore the time Kairi spent in Sora's heart at length. It's such a neat concept, although I haven't really seen it touched on much.
Thank you! :3
