This fanfiction assumes the upcoming Dream Drop Distance game events (whatever they are, but i'm excited for it :D) do not happen for awhile. Now then, this fanfiction is directly after the end of KHII, so Sora and Kairi are reunited. But as they soon find out, life will be completely different, since they have Nobody personalities inside them. They may have merged and become whole, but that doesn't mean they're unable to talk to their original selves.)

And since Roxas and Namine can feel emotions, being special Nobodies, they're well aware of Sora and Kairi's feelings... and so may have a little fun along the way.

Sora held out Kairi's wayfinder in his hand, then he looked up at her with his goofy smile. For a moment though, as they gazed at each other, their appearances took on their Nobody selves: Roxas and Namine.

Sora wiped the water off his face, still with his goofy smile. "We're, we're back" he said.

Kairi held out her hand toward him, smiling back. "You're home" she answered simply.

Grinning, he took her hand with his, returning her wayfinder after all this time spent apart.

With a surprising show of strength, Kairi easily pulled Sora up into a standing position, still smiling as she gently took her wayfinder back, placing it in her small bag. After that, she surprised him by giving him a full-on tackle hug.

"Kairi" he breathed out, slowly hugging her back. "We reunited not too long ago, you know"

"I know" he heard her say, but she looked at him with a small smile. "But when that Corridor of Darkness started to collapse, I thought I was gonna lose you again"

"Well... you know you can't get rid of us that easily" he said with a smile of his own, keeping himself calm inside, but noticing she hadn't mentioned Riku at all. What exactly that meant though, he couldn't quite grasp.

"Yeah" she nodded, her hands still on his shoulders. "But still, I didn't want to lose you" she whispered, her face seeming closer than before, but it was hard to tell. "You, or Riku"

Riku watched from the sidelines discreetly, while Mickey, Goofy and Donald made themselves scarce, though Mickey made sure to give them a message later (thanks for all their help, and they'll keep in touch, in case the worlds need them later). He thanked them, then glanced back at Sora and Kairi. "Come on, you two" he urged silently in his mind. He knew Kairi was into Sora, and he into her, and he had made peace with that long ago.

The two of them were close, and they leaned forward...

Riku sighed mentally. They were just hugging, not even knowing he existed right now. "Rats..." he thought, then a sudden instinct made him turn.

Roxas and Namine stood there beside him, two feet away. They were partially transperant, sorta like ghosts, and yet not like ghosts either. They glanced at Sora and Riku, and both gave him their version of a knowing smile, then at each other.

He sighed out loud, glancing back, knowing the two teens wouldn't hear him. "Okay, those two are gonna need a push in the right direction... maybe several, before they finally get it" he told them, smiling.

"Sora will definitely need it" Roxas said, chuckling. "He likes her that way, but he doesn't really get the concept of love... so my job's gonna be hard"

"And Kairi just needs the right kind of push" Namine said, smiling with her hands behind her back. "Me and Roxas will take care of it, Riku, don't worry. You just continue to be their friend"

He glanced at Sora and Kairi, who had let go of each other, talking about the basics of his journey since they had been separated. He nodded back at his friend's Nobody selves. "Good luck" he told them, then walked back toward his friends.

"...I really wish you could have seen some of the worlds, Kairi" he finished, both of them still standing rather close to each other, but neither really aware of what being that close could mean. "They were quite beautiful, with amazing friends all along the way"

"When the next journey comes, I'm coming with you" she told him, completely serious, though she did soften. "I just need some keyblade training, if you and Riku could teach me"

"We'd be happy to" Riku said at the same time as Sora, making Riku chuckle as he patted his friends on the back. "But I think our friends here would like to know we've come back first"

"Oh my god, you're right, Riku!" she exclaimed, grabbing them both by the arms and pulling them along. "Selphie, Tidus and Wakku have got to know!"

As he was pulled along, Riku noticed that while Kairi was dragging him along by the wrist, she was dragging Sora along by the hand. Neither seemed particulary aware of that fact.

He raised a faint eyebrow as they ran. It was a start, at least.

Somewhere deep in the space in Sora's mind, Roxas sat on the edge of his and Sora's shared Dive Into The Heart (which was new, appearing after they had been completed). He had taken a good long look at it before he had sat down.

On one side of the circle, was Sora, including his famous Kingdom Key. In smaller circles beside him, were pictures of Kairi (her current appearance, not as he had known her before), Riku (same), Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. On the other side, was himself, holding Oathkeeper and Oblivion. In smaller circles beside his image, were pictures of Namine, Axel, Olette, Hayner, Pence, and a blank one.

He was still confused about that one. Every time he thought about who else could be important enough to him to be in his Dive Into The Heart, he couldn't arrive at an answer. He knew it was THERE, but he couldn't actually GET the answer.

He smiled faintly as he recalled that frustration, then he glanced around the Dive Into The Heart, which held a Twilight Town style on the rest of it, still waiting.

"Very nice, Roxas"

He looked up, smiling as Namine walked toward the edge where he sat. "Thanks" he told her, inviting her to sit beside him, which she did. "Is this your first look at a Dive Into The Heart?"

She shook her head, smiling. "No, I caught a few glimpses of it in Sora's memories, and in yours, Roxas" she whispered, though she seemed shy. "But this is the first time I've seen it in detail... it's amazing"

"Kairi hasn't gotten her own yet?" he asked, smiling, though he did note something was off. He couldn't place it just yet.

Namine shook her head, looking at him. "No, she's only used her keyblade once" she said. "Her mind doesn't have a Dive Into The Heart yet, whether her's or mine, or a combined one... though I'm sure I could use a keyblade, just like you"

He nodded, smiling. "True. As I'm Sora's Nobody, I can use a keyblade like him. As Kairi's Nobody, you can use a keyblade as well... have you ever tried to summon one?" he asked, tilting his head.

"No... and I'm not sure if I should yet, until Kairi gets some keyblade training first" she said, then she fidgeted.

"Hey... are you okay?" he asked gently, looking at her with furrowed eyebrows. She didn't answer as she looked off into space, but he did eventually notice that her arm kept moving slightly, so he looked down.

Her hand was out by her side, and it kept trying to move sideways, but she couldn't quite make it happen.

He glanced up at her, slowly getting it, a small red tint coming to his cheeks. His own hand slowly moved forward, gently onto hers, his fingers interlocking with hers.

She looked up at her, her own cheeks tinted red, but her expression seemed timid and nervous, but happy. He smiled gently, looking at their interlocked hands, before looking back into her blue eyes.

They both slowly inched closer together, both with their general bodies, and with their lips.

In the world outside Sora's brain, Sora and Riku had been absolutely tackled by Selphie, Tidus and Wakka, though more with words than actions. They had looked like they had seen ghosts at first, then they had PILED them with questions.

They had done their best to answer, with the basics for now, as details would take them days if not weeks. During this hours-long conversation, Sora and Kairi had both experienced the strangest sensation.

A pressure on their hands, and a touch on their lips.

They had looked around with confusion, both at each other and their friends, who didn't appear to notice. It didn't occur to them until much later what might really be the cause of these 'ghost' sensations.

Roxas and Namine had finally let go of each other, both of them smiling with small red tints.

"Oh Roxas" she whispered softly to him, her hand slowly going through his spiky hair, both of them laying on the 'floor' of the Dive Into The Heart, fully clothed like before. "Kairi loves Sora, but what I feel for you, is not part of that... I love you with my own feelings, not a shared one"

"I'm feeling the exact same for you, Namine" he whispered softly back, his fingers playing with the longer strands of her hair, on her left side.

She brushed her lips against his again, smiling as she rested her head on his shoulder. "If only Kairi and Sora could get this feeling themselves" she breathed against him.

"Yeah" he breathed back, kissing her blond head gently. "But they'll need our help... and I have an idea about how to do it"

She looked up at him, smiling but curious at his sudden mischievious tone. "How?" she whispered softly, wanting to help.

"Well... we can take control of their bodies if they let us, right?" he whispered softly, holding her close with a smile, to which she nodded.

"Good... I'm thinking, we tell them that because we're part of them, we want a chance to walk around in their bodies, experience life as they do... and we may shyly say we're into each other"

"That sounds good, I like it" she whispered softly, giggling. "It's devious, and I see where you're going with that"

"Yeah, they'll never see it coming" he whispered deviously, to her giggle.

Looks like a new good start to me ;)

For our next part, we'll take a look at our friend's lives afterward, including a little bit of Keyblade training for Kairi. Also, a little of Roxas and Namine's plan.

Hope you like it, so review. And also, I'm aware it's called Dive to the Heart, but I think Dive Into The Heart sounds better, and it's not that different anyway.
