Restored Existances - Kingdom Hearts: After The Story I

This is my fan-fic, Restored Existances. It takes place in certain character's P.o.V. right after KH2 ended, and it's taking alot longer to type than it did to write. I have a whole note book filled with this story; and I'm not even nearly finished. This was about a couple of pages (I write small), so I'ma continue writing this. ​

___________________________


(Sora's P.o.V.)

With her panthalasa charm in my palm, I took the hand Kairi gave to me, attempting to pull myself up while keeping my promise. Instead of that she fell right on top of me, into the cool, sea water. Everyone laughed, but we both blushed many different shades of red and quickly got up.
I shook my spiky brown hair, ridding it of the still present salty water. Then out of nowhere, she practically glomped me, squeezing me with everything she had, as if I'd desapear if she let go.
"K-kairi, I was just gone for a few hours!" I tried to say, lacking air. "And y-you're hugging to hard!"
"Oh!" She let go of my waist, as I gasped for life. "I just... Didn't think you'd come back," Kairi mumbled slowly, tears forming in her azure eyes. I didn't know what to do.
"Kairi, d-don't cry!" I cajoled nervously, trying to calm the red head down. "I promised I'd come back to you, remember? I'll always keep my promises. Just like the charm. See?"
She clutched the melange of shells tightly, recalling the promise we made more than a year ago.
"Yeah," she smiled weakly, wiping her eyes. "Sora, I'm-"
She was abruptly cut off by Wakka, followed by Tidus and Selphie screaming 'Sora, Kairi and Riku' all in different orders, coming across the beach at top speed. I grinned at the scene. Old friends were always a warming sight.
As they got closer, I noticed Tidus and Wakka's mischievous faces. I took a step back, and they tackled me head on into the sand.
"Get offa me!" I yelled and laughed at the same time, wrestling them off.
"Sora, you moron, where have you been?!" Tidus laughed while covering me in sand.
"We were wonderin' if you and Riku went off an died or somethin'," Wakka admitted sarcastically. Riku made his way over to where we were plotted in the sand, chuckling to himself.
"Well, it's a good thing to have you both back. Especially you, Riku," Selphie stated, while giving the silvery haired teen a fan-girlish gaze. Suddenly, Tidus and Wakka gave him a quick look and started whispering to each other.
Apparently, Riku heard what they had said, cause he took a few steps backwards and turned on his heals and got the heck out of there with a look of fear on his face. The two other boys got up and started in hot pursuit of their prey.
"If you lay even a finger on me, I'll kick your butts into the next world!" Riku yelled, running down the shoreline.
I sat there wondering what the heck was going on, while ridding my clothes of sand and standing up. Riku had escaped them for a while, but then he tripped on a log camouflaged in sand. He had put that there over a year ago after he had tossed it on me. I laughed. Served him right. Tidus and Wakka failed to notice it too; they tripped and landed right on top of Riku.
"Get the hell off!" he yelled. "I'm getting sand in my clothes!" The two trouble makers grinned at each other, raised their hands, and started tickling him. Actually tickled him!. Riku burst out laughing, rolling in the sand, trying to get the two teens to stop. It was hillarious to see him act like that. He was usually so uptight.
"Cool!" I gasped while making my way over to them. "Calm and collected Riku, ticklish?! How come no one ever told me that?!"
Selphie laughed. "You're supposed to be his best friend!" she yelled. I ignored her and joined in the party.
We tortured him till he cried, "Oh man! Now you're all going to get it!" He jumped up, knocking us all over and took out his Keyblade, The Way to Day, and pointed it at us threateningly. It looked strikingly like a demonic, twisted bat wing, with an eye in the handle. What made it change from looking demonic to looking interesting was the white and dark wing for the hilt of the handle, and the angel wing in the blade, forming the whole form of the actual Keyblade. A heartless logo was dangling as it's keychain.
"Calm down, mon!" Wakka pleaded at the sight of the mysterious weapons. "We were jus' kiddin'!"
"Where'd you get that thing? And where did it come from?" Selphie questioned. I smiled.
"Two can play at that game, Riku." I took out the Kingdom Key. It's silver blade gleaming in the sunlight.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" everyone cheered, pumping their fists. Donald and Goofy gave each other weary looks.


(Narrator's P.o.V.)

Both boys got into their fighting stances and prepared to fight. They were both worn out in some sort of way already; Riku from that part of fighting with Xemnas when he had hit him with his Arial blades, and and almost broken leg from fighting with the Dusks; Sora had a lot of his energy drained from almost losing his heart to the same Nobody, and a lot of little cuts and bruises, as did Riku.
Sora, as usual was the first to strike. He ran up to Riku, and swung his Keyblade at him. Riku ducked under it, and followed up with a Blizzard, temporarily freezing Sora in place, not even having to say the spell. He jumped back, dodging another blow from the semi-paralyzed spiky haired hid, and used a dark aura on him. It hit him head on and inflicted a good amount of damage, but also freed him from the ice.


(Sora's P.o.V.)

Riku ran up to me as I was trying to recover, but I quickly blocked it then tried to counter attack. He once again dodged, but this time, he jumped high. I took advantage of this small opening and used Fire, aiming my Keyblade at him in the air.
"Fire!" I yelled, and let my magic loose, channeling it through my blade. He heard me, and instinctively used a dark shield, just a split second before it got to him. The fire licked around the barrier, creating a smoke screen in the air. But then I heard the shield break, and a flurry of blue fireballs came out of it; more dark auras. It was too late for me to react, I had taken a few painful hits before I could defend myself. I was knocked back and rolled in the sand for a few yards before I came to a stop, holding my Keyblade tight. I heard the spectators 'Ooooh' and gasp.
"Owww," I complained, rising to my knees. Riku was smirking, standing tall above me. I raised my Keyblade quickly, trying to catch him off guard, but he knocked it out of my hands with his, and it disappeared with a crystal like sound as it hit the sand. I sighed and looked down.
"Looks like I win."

"No way. Not again..."

I didn't say that, did I? I felt a sharp pain in my heart and I quickly winced, not that anyone noticed. But then, I heard a voice in my head.
'There's no way I'm going to lose to him again,' the familiar voice declared.
'Roxas?!' I mentally gasped.

"I'm not losing to you again." I felt my mouth form these words slowly against my will.
"Again?" Riku questioned, amused and shrugging. "And what's with your voice?"
My voice sounded just like Roxas'. Had he taken full control over my body? I couldn't move. All I could do was sit, or float- whatever- and watch as he summoned his Keyblades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion and stand up, ready to fight.
'Is this what happens to people who are fused with the soul of their Nobody when they themselves aren't Heartless?' I thought smartly to myself.
"Gwarsh, Sora," Goofy started, "When were you able to use two Keyblades without being fused to one of us?"
I shot- I mean Roxas shot an annoyed glance at the dog.
'Why are you doing this?!' I asked loudly to him.
'To win,' he answered flatly. 'I'm not going to let us lose to Riku.'
'You don't need to win all the time!' I exclaimed.
'Well, if you win most of your battles, people won't want to fight you, because they'll think you're too strong for them. See?' Roxas answered. 'And I don't want to lose to him again... I lost last time, and he erased my memories. So I'm going to fight him now; for REVENGE!'
I mentally laughed. 'Oh, I see.... But next time, can you ask me before you take over MY body...?'
'...' he answered. 'Well, this is my body too. I have the right.'
'You wouldn't exist if it wasn't for me!' I snapped.
'I don't exist!' he snapped back himself.
'Um... I still don't get that. Well, at least tell me if you do.'
'Whatever,' he sighed. 'And by the way, you're going to feel like a sack of bricks in the morning.'

(Group P.o.V.)

"Well," Riku started, "If that's how you like it..." The silvery blue haired teen's ocean green eyes flared with competition as he took his fighting stance. Sora did the same.
'This doesn't feel like Sora,' he thought. 'More like someone else...'
Both boys charges, Keyblades first. They both parried each other's blows fiercely and jumped back. Sora charged again, but Riku slashed diagonally when he was close. Sora leaped over the teen quickly and swiftly, and landed behind him unobtrusively. Before Riku could turn around, Sora hit him hard with both Keyblades on his injured left side. Riku surprised and hurt, caught himself before he could fall.
Riku frowned. He ran up to Sora and aimed for his arm, but Sora blocked it with the Oathkeeper, and attacked Riku with the other Keyblade. Riku, thinking quickly, sent a dark aura at the incoming Oblivion. It went flying and landed handle-up in the sand.
The two opponents looked at each other briefly, and made a dash for the unattended blade. They reach it and grab it at the same time, and look at each other again. They parry their own attacks once more, but Sora improvises. He kicked Riku hard above the stomach, knocking the air out of him temporarily, and yanked the onyx Keyblade out of the glistening white sand.
Sora, smiling, charged a final time at Riku, who is slightly winded and backing up away from the dual wielding Keyblade kid. He tried to return the charge, but his damaged leg was obviously holding him back. Just before they clashed, their weapons disappeared in a quick, familiar white light, and they collided painfully into each other and into the sand.
"What the--" Sora said, rubbing his head and wondering what was going on.
"Get offa me!" Riku yelled, pushing the blue eyed kid off of him and sitting up. They all looked up, confused.

"You guys should be ashamed of yourselves," came a high voice from behind them. It was none other than the small but formidable King Mickey. He had the Oathkeeper, Oblivion, and the Way to Dawn in his hands.
'You can have your body back now!' Roxas said quickly, and Sora started to feel control again.
'Hey! That's not fair!' Sora rebelled.
'Oh yes it is!'
"Fighting when you're already hurt?!' And you guys let 'em!" he started to lecture, waving the Keyblades around like speaking to some naughty children. "I left for just a minute to go to the bathroom and call the Gummi Ship, (which will be here in an hour, by the way), and you fight!"
"They were just playing, then got all serious, your Majesty. We didn't know!" admitted Donald in disappointment with himself.
"Gawrsh... We're sorry," Goofy apologized.
"It's our fault," sighed Tidus.
"Yep, we pushed Riku and Sora inta fightin'," Wakka agreed.
"Yeah, we should have stopped them," Kairi frowned.
"Same here," Selphie concluded.
The King smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head. "Gosh, guys," he started slowly, looking modest. "Don't blame yourselves like that."
"Hey," Riku asked, walking up to the mouse, "How'd you do that? I mean take our Keyblades away from us without touching them?"
"Practice," he replied flatly, dematerializing them.


(Sora's P.o.V.)

"You two need to go home and get bandaged up!" he exclaimed after looking over the two Keybearers.
"Oh yeah!" I said with enthusiasm. "When I walk home-"
'You mean limp...' interrupted Roxas.
"Or limp home, mommy's gonna-"
'Mommy? Wow Sora...' laughed Roxas.
"Uh... I mean Mom's gonna flip!"
There was an almost awkward silence, which Kairi reluctantly broke with a guilty and sorrowful look on her face.
"Sora," she started, not looking me in the eye, "Your mother went missing on a hiking trip up to The Mountains a few months ago. She was presumed... dead. I'm sorry." The scene hushed, all eyes on me.
"Dead..?" I mumbled, barely audible. "I don't have any parents now. W-what's going to happen to me now? I don't want to be an orphan..."
I didn't want to cry in front of all my friends, but I truly couldn't help it. Grief was pressing on me. I felt light headed. All the sounds made were the waves, and my discreet sobbing. The world spun, my vision blackening and I fell unconscious.


(Group P.o.V.)

"S-sora!" cried Kairi, kneeling down at the teen's fallen body. The King of Disney Castle let out a sigh.
"Poor boy..." he started. "He has nothing but friends now. No direct family here."
"We're his family," stated Riku solidly. "And what do you mean by 'No direct family here'?"
The mouse smiled and shrugged.
"That's the King! Keeping secrets again!" laughed Goofy.
"Speaking of family, where is he going to stay?" asked Donald. "He can't live all by himself."
"How about he stay at one of your houses!" Mickey brought up. There was another awkward silence.
"Well... My parent's won't let anyone stay over for the night, considering what happened between my sister and one of her boyfriends, heh..." Riku admitted, scratching the back of his head innocently. Wakka gave him a sarcastic look.
"Wha' happened?" he asked, grinning widely.
"You, um, don't want to know," Riku replied quietly, but his voice laced with amusement. The group gave a quiet, nervous chuckle. Everyone knew the 'rumor', and Riku had just confirmed it.
"My house doesn't have any space," Wakka lied, breaking the new layer of silence that had fallen. The group looked to Tidus.
"D-don't look at me! I'm not taking him in! Have you seen his room?" the Blondie blurted out. Everyone sighed.
"My parents won't let any guys stay over!" Selphie said loudly while dodging looks from the other teens. Then everyone's eyes fell on Kairi. Her maroon colored hair was glimmering in the setting sunlight, and a nervous look adorned her face. She flipped her hair innocently and looked down.
"Heh... I guess my house is free?" she coughed. "He stayed over before, and my parents aren't even exactly in town..."
"Then it's settled!" the King declared. "Sora stays at Kairi's house until... Gosh, he finds some place else to stay?" He shrugged, waving the thought away.
"So, why you're here, why don't you tell us what you all were doing since you've been gone," Selphie said.

So the King and Riku told their story, skipping around all of the bad parts and the things Riku did to his friends, what he and Mickey did in the Darkness, and what they were doing while Sora was asleep. By the time they finished, the King's Gummy Ship had arrived.

"We've got to go. There are things that need atending to. Jiminy's Journal needs to be looked over, and some questions need solving. Gosh. I just realized all the work that still needs to be done! Donald. Goofy."
The Gummi Ship's door opened, and the Mouse hurried into it.
"Gawrsh, poor Sora. I hope he feels better when he wakes up." said Goofy.
"I wish he was awake to say goodbye," Donald admitted. Everyone said their goodbyes and the brightly colored rocket blasted into orbit. Everyone turned to look at the unconscious teenager laying in the sand.
"Well... Lets get him to your house, Kairi," Riku started, with an apathetic tone to his voice. "I'll carry him."
"N-no, mon. Lemme do it! You're all beat up!" Wakka argued. Riku sighed and shrugged.
"Have it your way."
The islander lugged the spikey haired teenager over his shoulder as the others made their way for the boats.

 

Since no one replies, This will probably be updated even if it doesn't look like it.
Just a heads up to anyone reading.​

Wakka tossed the unconscious teenager into a two seating wooden boat roughly, causing the craft to tip.
"I'm not paying for the medical bills if he falls in the water!" called Tidus from his own boat as he was stepping into it and watching as Sora rolled in Wakka's. The orange haired young adult chuckled.
"Riku's going to pay!" Selphie called, already rowing out to the part of the island that consisted of most of the houses and schools in the community. There was another section that consisted of shops and work areas, that was connected to the housing area by a by a train tracked bridge.
"Why me? I always pay for everything!" the silvery blue haired teenager asked cynically while stepping into his old boat.
"You're rich, mon!" Wakka finished up, making everybody but Riku laugh. The small fleet of teenagers in boats sailed to wards the docks on the other side.
By the time they reached the long, boat filled Destiny Island docks, the sun had just set, leaving an orangish glow just above the horizon, and the sky above a midnight blue. It looked like it was going to be a beautiful cloudless night. The street lights were on and the people were going home from their jobs or very late after school activities.
The five teens stepped out of their boats and tied them to the dock, stepping out in the process. Wakka painstakingly hauled Sora out of his boat.
"Sora kinda got taller, and he's alot skinnier. Buuuut it feel like he put on fifty pounds!" exclaimed Wakka while trying to lift the unconscious teen over his shoulder.
"He hasn't eaten for an entire year, causing him to loose a bit of weight," said Riku in a mater-of-factual tone. "But he only seems heavier because of his clothes; they're magical. Those types always seem alot heavier to those who aren't supposed to feel the weight or wear them."
There was a crypic silence.
"How do you know that, Riku?" asked Wakka, an amused look on his face. Riku stood there, trying to find a valid answer.
"Riku, you're such a stalker," laughed Tidus, poking the reddening teenager. The others joined in, chuckling. Riku pushed their hands away.
"Hey, I don't stalk people!" he argued, forcing the red back down. It was really too dark to see his frustrated expression anyway.
"Well, I highly doubt that Sora remembered to tell you that he got magic clothes that increase his weight. I doubt that he even knows that himself!" Kairi said while smirking. "And you do seem to know a lot about what he's been doing all year..."
"He hasn't even been awake for a year yet!" Riku replied, flaming. "He woke up just a few months... ago..."
"Oh my gosh! You HAVE been stalking Sora!" gasped Selphie, causing Riku to redden again.
"Heh, I bet ya even kno' the exact date, eh?" Wakka asked while putting Sora on his shoulders. The blue haired teen didn't reply.
"Lets just get him to Kairi's house," he finished bitterly and started walking, while everyone else grinned and followed his lead.
