Hello readers! This is Gbro! I have a new Kingdom Hearts crossover for all of you! This one will be Kingdom Hearts and the Jungle Book. This will be an adventure where Sora and Kairi gets sucked into the Jungle Book and goes on a jungle adventure with Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo and the other animals. This would be similar to Sora's adventure in the hundred acre wood except that the only similarity is that Sora got sucked into Pooh's storybook and now he and Kairi got sucked into the Jungle Book. I know you guys might be thinking differently about the idea of having Sora and Kairi as the adventurers than he Donald and Goofy. I felt that Kairi should have more action and adventure with her friends since she has been left out too much. Also, this would be an opportunity to spend more time with Sora since I feel a little romance between them. Anyway, let's begin our adventure in the Jungle Book.

Chapter 1: Entering the Jungle Book
It has been a few weeks since Sora returned from the sleeping worlds and reunited with his friends Riku, Kairi.
In fact, Master Yen Sid told Sora that they needed him for a new mission and it involves Sora, Riku and Kairi going to Disney Castle.
Yen Sid informed the Destiny Islands trio that King Mickey found a book with lost pages and he needed the trio's help in finding the pages.
Having remembered his adventure in the Hundred Acre Wood with Winnie the Pooh and his friends, Sora thought that this book might be a book to another world, therefore the trio agreed to travel to the castle and help find the missing pages.
The trio arrived at the castle and the King greeted them with a smile. "Sora! Riku! Kairi! I'm so glad you fellas made it!" King Mickey said with glee.
"We're happy to see you Mickey." Riku said with a smile at his best friend.
"That's right. We're glad we can help you." Sora said smiling.
"You fellas are just in time. We're just getting started with finding the missing pages of the book we found." Mickey said smiling.
"Do you think this book might lead us to another world that's in the book?" Kairi asked with a little excitement in her voice.
After Sora told her about his adventures in Pooh's storybook she was excited about having adventures inside storybooks and felt that this book might lead them to another world.
"It might be Kairi." Mickey said to her. "But we won't know until we found all the pages. Let's go to the library, that's where we found the book."
Everyone nodded and went to the library with the King. Upon arrival they saw Donald, Goofy, Chip and Dale searching the Library and found a few missing pages so far.
They all had excitement on their faces when they saw the King and the Destiny Islands trio.
"Sora! Riku! Kairi!" Everyone exclaimed with happiness.
"Hey guys!" Sora exclaimed with glee.
"Good to see you again." Kairi said smiling.
"You fellas came in just in time." Chip said to the trio smiling.
"Yup. We needed more people to help us." Dale said to the trio.
"Well we're glad we can help you." Riku said smiling.
"Well fellas. Let's find all the pages." Donald said and everyone got to work on finding the pages.
After an hour of searching the library, everyone found the missing pages and put them back in the book.
"I wonder what kind of world this is." Kairi said as she held the book.
"I hope it's nice like Pooh's storybook." Sora said as he stood next to Kairi.
Suddenly, the book began to glow in a bright light and opened itself flipping its pages. The light became so bright that everyone shielded their eyes. After the light died down, everyone realized Sora and Kairi were missing.
"Hey, where are Sora and Kairi?" Donald asked.
"Do ya fellas think they were sucked into the book?" Goofy asked.
"They might be." Riku theorized. "That glow did came from the book and the two aren't here so they must be in the book."
The gang tried to open the book, but it wouldn't open. "Garwsh. The book is locked." Goofy said disappointed.
"I hope they'll be ok." Riku said a little worried about his two best friends.
"Don't worry Riku. I'm sure Sora and Kairi will be fine. You gotta believe in your friends." Mickey said reassuring Riku.
"Your right. Thanks, Mickey." Riku said as everyone waited for Sora and Kairi's return.
Inside the book, Sora and Kairi began to wake up. As they opened their eyes, they observed their surroundings and found that they are in the middle of a Jungle during daytime.
"Where are we Sora?" Kairi asked.
"This looks like a Jungle. I wonder if we're in Tarzan's world." Sora said remembering his adventure with Tarzan in Deep Jungle.
Kairi spoke up again but with a surprised tone in her voice. "Wait a minute, Sora. What happened to you?" She said looking at him.
"What are you talking about…?" Sora said then he looked at himself then at Kairi. "Hey, you're the same too Kairi.
Sora and Kairi turned into teenage wolves. Sora had a brown fur coat with spiky hair on his head and wore his crown pendant around his neck. Kairi had a tan and red fur coat with her lucky charm around her neck.
"We're wolves!" Kairi exclaimed in shock. "How did this happen?" She asked.
"I've seen this before. This must be a world of animals. If we're in world of animals then we would change into animals to blend in with the world's inhabitants. I've seen this happen when I was in the Pride Lands." Sora explained to Kairi.
"That makes a lot more sense." Kairi said sinking the information Sora gave her into her.
"It would seem this is a different world than the other jungle or animal worlds I've been to." Sora said.
"Yeah. Looks that way." Kairi said.
"Why don't we walk around the jungle? We might find someone to help us. We might also find trouble along the way." Sora suggested.
"Sure Sora lets go." Kairi said as they began to walk together in the jungle.
Sora was walking on all fours easily ever since his trip to the Pride Lands. But it seemed that Kairi had trouble walking like Sora. "Walking around like this is difficult for me." She said as she was falling and tripping.
Sora saw her and looked concerned. "Don't worry. I'll teach you how to walk on all fours. I had to learn too." Sora said as he taught Kairi how to walk on all fours.
After an hour or so Kairi got the hang of walking on all fours. "Thanks Sora. I definitely got the hang of it now."
"You're welcome Kairi." Sora said as the couple continued to walk around the jungle.
As they walked the jungle they looked for any sign of trouble but they couldn't find anything. "I don't see any trouble. How about you Kairi?" Sora asked her.
"I don't see anything either." Kairi said.
They continued to walk around until they saw that it was getting dark soon. "It's getting dark soon. Let's find a place to sleep tonight."
"Agreed." Kairi said as they now searched for a place to sleep for the night.
Nightfall arrived and the duo came across a large clearing. The clearing was a stone plateau with a solitary tree on top and a natural path of rock that lead up to the top.
The duo walked up the plateau and saw a large pack of wolves who were using it as a meeting place. There was also a black panther who was laying on a branch of the tree who seemed to be listening to the meeting the wolves were having.
"I wonder what's going on." Kairi asked quietly.
"Let's listen in." Sora said.
The duo crept up quietly to a corner of the rock and listened to the meeting.
The alpha male of the pack named Akela began the meeting. "Shere Khan will surely kill the boy. And all who try to protect him." He said.
"Who's Shere Khan? And who's this boy they are talking about?" Sora thought to himself as he looked at Kairi who was thinking the same thing.
They shrugged and kept listening. "Now, are we all in agreement as to what must be done?" Akela asked the members of the pack and they all nodded in agreement.
"Now it is my unpleasant duty to tell the boy's father." Akela said as he turned to another wolf who was sitting by the tree. "Rama. Come over here please."
The wolf named Rama walked up to Akela. "Yes Akela?" He asked.
"The council has reached its decision." Akela began. "The man cub can no longer stay with the pack. He must leave at once."
"Leave?" Rama said feeling hurt by the news.
"I'm sorry Rama." Akela sadly apologized hanging his head. "There is no other way."
"But…" Rama objected. "But… the man cub-he's like my own son. Surely he's entitled to the protection of the pack."
"But Rama." Akela argued. "Even the strength of the pack is no match for the tiger."
"But the boy cannot survive alone in the jungle." Rama argued with Akela.
"Akela." The panther spoke up as he got off the branch and walked to the pack. "Perhaps I can be of help."
"You Bagheera?" Akela asked. "How?"
The panther named Bagheera continued. "I know a man village where he will be safe. Mowgli and I have taken many walks into the jungle together. I'm sure he'll go with me."
"So be it." Akela said then he felt Sora and Kairi's presence and caught their scent. "It seems that we have spies in our midst. Whoever you are, show yourselves."
Sora and Kairi looked at each other wide eyed before revealing themselves to the pack and Bagheera.
They all looked surprised to see the two wolves who were eavesdropping on the meeting. Bagheera looked skeptical at them and didn't know whether these two wolves can be trusted.
"Who are you two? Are you from another pack?" Akela asked.
"No. We're lone hunters from another part of the jungle. We're not part of any pack." Sora said to them.
"We were just hunting for food but tried to find a place to sleep for tonight. We're sorry we trespassed your territory and eavesdropped on you." Kairi said to the pack and Bagheera.
Bagheera continued to be skeptical. "Akela, their scent is new to me. I've never smelt it before. Are you sure we can trust them?" He asked Akela.
"Please. We don't mean any harm to your pack or your man cub." Sora insisted.
"We heard you're in trouble. We want to help you. Please? Will you let us help you?" Kairi asked.
Akela and the wolves thought hard for a few moments. He then spoke up. "Very well. As far as I'm concerned you two are not a threat to the pack. If you want to help us, then you are welcome join our pack and help us."
"Thank you sir. My name is Sora." Sora introduced himself.
"My name is Kairi." Kairi introduced herself.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Sora and Kairi. My name is Akela, the alpha male of the pack." Akela introduced himself.
"It's nice to meet you Akela." Sora said.
"My name is Bagheera." Bagheera introduced himself to the duo. "I'm still not sure whether to trust you two or not. But as far as Akela is concerned, you two are alright." He said starting to gain trust in Sora and Kairi.
"Nice to meet you Bagheera." Kairi said. "Don't worry, we have are absolutely not a threat to the wolf pack or the man cub. You can trust us."
"Well Sora and Kairi, we certainly appreciate you helping us. We would need all the help we can get, especially with Shere Khan in the jungle." Akela said in gratitude.
"Now who is Shere Khan? And who is this man cub you're trying to protect?" Sora asked.
"We'll fill you in on everything since you just got here." Akela said to the duo before explaining everything to them.
"Shere Khan is a fearsome and ferocious tiger who possesses a strong hatred towards man because he fears man's gun and man's fire." Akela explained.
"He is a threat to all who stand in his way and all who protect man. So we decided that Mowgli, the man cub, must leave the pack and go back to the man village where he will be safe." Akela added.
"Oh, I don't like Shere Khan already." Kairi said feeling a little scared.
"Me neither." Sora said. "Now Bagheera, would you mind telling us about Mowgli? You seem to know him pretty well."
"Absolutely." Bagheera explained to Sora and Kairi. "Mowgli is a man cub who was adopted by the wolf pack ten rain seasons ago. I found him when he was very little on a river bank."
"I knew that Mowgli had to be nourished and raised well, so I brought him to the wolf pack and they raised him to be a great member of the pack." Bagheera added.
"Wow. That's great." Sora said.
"Now Akela." Kairi spoke up. "You said Shere Khan hates man because he fears their gun and fire. But what about Mowgli?" She asked. "He's just a boy and he doesn't have any of those things."
"Shere Khan won't wait until he does Kairi." Akela explained to her. "Even if Mowgli is just a man cub, that won't stop the tiger from killing him."
Kairi got more worried about the situation. This is definitely a time of crisis for Mowgli and all who try to protect him. Shere Khan is definitely a big threat and they must help the out the pack.
"Akela. You do not have to worry. Even though we are not familiar with this part of the jungle we have seen many dangers before." Sora said to Akela.
"We will give you our word that we will accompany Bagheera and Mowgli and return him to the man village and protect him from Shere Khan's wrath." Sora added.
"I agree with Sora." Kairi said in a determined tone.
"Very well." Akela declared. "Now there's no time to lose."
Sora and Kairi nodded their heads and followed Bagheera through the jungle to where Mowgli slept. And so the Destiny Island's duo's jungle adventure has begun.
I hope you guys like this so far. The next chapter will involve Sora and Kairi meeting Mowgli. So stay tuned for more!
