Imagine Sora Without Kairi
Chapter 1 Ariel's Back
"Kairi!" Sora called, it had only been about an hour and he'd already lost her!
"Sora!" She called back. "Over here!" She waved her hand back and forth.
She was sitting on the palpu tree watching the sunset.
"It's beautiful," she said.
"Yeah," he said, sitting next to her. "You need to come with me… and King Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, to the other worlds, they're just like this. They have shops with beautiful things, you'd love it!"
"I bet I would," she said smiling at him. "Tell me more about it."
"Well… Atlantica, were the merpeople live, is really beautiful –"
"You like the word 'beautiful' don't you?"
Sora laughed. "I guess," he looked down. "Kairi…"
"Yeah?" her blue eyes glowed. He couldn't look away from them.
"Am… well… I just wanted to tell you… that I… um… never mined." He started off the tree. But Kairi grabbed his arm so he couldn't leave.
"Don't leave," she said. "What were you gonna say?"
"Uhhhhh… Nothing…"
"Please…"
"Well- WHAT'S THAT" he pointed out to the water. There was something out there. But what?
It was green, and familiar to Sora…
As it got closer he noticed there was red too. It was even more familiar now. But what was it!
"Sora," Kairi said. "Is that a mermaid?"
That's what it was! It was Ariel! Her tail seemed damaged.
"Yes Kairi, it is."
"We should go help her!" She ran down the ladder, he was right behind her.
"Ariel!" Sora said.
"Who?" Kairi asked.
"That's her name. I met her wile I was looking for you and saving that world from the heartless."
He looked down at her tail. It was cut right in the middle. He turned away.
She lifted her head.
"Sora…" Ariel said looking at him. Her voice was week. "They… they got him… they got Eric…"
Her voice was even fainter.
"You… you need to save him…"
"What happened to you?" Sora asked.
"The… the heartless came… they attacked my daddy… got Eric… and Melody…"
"Who's Melody?"
"Who's Eric? What are you talking about?" Kairi asked.
"Eric…" Ariel said. "Is my husband… Melody is my daughter… who are you?"
"Oh," Sora and Kairi said together.
"I'm Kairi." She said kindly.
"What happened to you though?" Sora asked sadly.
"I… tried to save them… but… they cut my tail… so I went looking for you…"
"Don't worry," Kairi said "we'll get them for you!"
"Kairi…" Ariel said. "You remind me… so much of… Melody… I know you'll save them… just be careful…"
Ariel rested her head on Kairi's lap. She was very week and helpless, Kairi couldn't help stroking her hair like mom would if she was sick, crying, or hurt.
"You need to get better before you can go any were," Sora said. "Maybe Kairi should stay with you."
"Yeah," Kairi said looking up from Ariel's hair to his blue eyes. "It would be best, but it's your chose, Ariel."
Sora was amazed she had agreed with him so easy. Usually she never missed a chance to go on another adventure, now that she could fight with him and Riku.
"I can't heal myself…" Ariel answered with a little hummer. "I guess you could say, I need you… I only wish I could go with you to save my family…"
"I'll tell them you tried to save them," Sora said putting a smile on. "And that you miss them."
"Thank you…" Ariel managed.
"If you're not back by the time she's better," Kairi said. "We're ganna come and help." She put a smile on to.
"O.K." He said back. "If I need help I'll come and get you."
"Ariel," Kairi asked. "Do you need to stay in water?"
"No," She answered. "And yes… I need to be in water… at leased 40 percent of the time… or I'll dye…"
"O.K." Kairi said looking down at her. "I can handle that."
"I'm going to get Riku," Sora said. "So we can get ready to leave."
