Sora's POV
I walk into the room, my whole body shaking with the horror of the scene that meets my eyes. The Rapier wasn't in this room, for now. So I walk forward towards the cages, looking for Kairi. When I find her, I race towards her cage. The Keyblade lights up as I point the tip towards the glowing lock on her cage. The lock snaps, unlocking suddenly, and drops to the floor. I open the cage and step inside....
Kairi's POV
I lay, shivering, in the deeper end of my cage. When the cage lock clangs I shrink as far into the bars as I can, knowing that this was one of two things. 1: Another Dream or 2:The Rapier coming to rape me. Yet another tear slinks down my face as I turn it away. Something seems, off. The room isn't colder, and fear isn't running through the room uncapped. Hope is suddenly rippling through the nearby cages, whispering suddenly everywere. The cage door opens and I turn to look. My heart swells with hope, happiness and another feeling that was new. Without stopping to find out what it was, I stand up and run to Sora. I wrap my arms around him and hold him tight, sobbing into his shoulder. "Oh Sora.."
Sora's POV
She looked awful, I wouldn't deny it. The beautiful face of my closed friend was rimmed with red and her nose rubbed raw. She runs towards me and hugs me so tight that I can hardly breath. Without thinking about it, I wrap my arms around her and hold her. I pat her lower back softly as she sobs into my clothes, staining my shirt with salt water.
"Oh, Sora.." She sobs.
"We need to get you out of here, Kairi." I tell her, reluctantly pulling out of her tight hug to look at her face.
"But... But what about the other girls?" She asks, her eyes wide and worried.
"Once we get you out of here, we will find a way to get them out too. Don't worry.." I lift my hand slowly to brush a tear from her cheek and watch as her eyes widen in shock, then close as she leans her head into my hand. "Kairi?" I murmur softly as I slowly raise my other hand to hold her head in my heads. Her eyes open and look into mine. Slowly, I lean in. Her reaction surprises me. She steps closer to me, pressing her body against mine, and raises her arms. She wraps them around my neck as she presses her warm lips to mine. I respond quickly, moving my hands from her face to her neck, shoulders, arms, waist and to her lower back.
Kairi's POV
Sora's lips, so warm, mold against mine. I press myself onto him and tighten my hold on his neck. I push him back against the bars of the cage and kiss him fiercely. My tongue presses against his lip and he parts them to allow entrance. My tongue swirls, fighting with his and tasting his hot breath. But the need to breath was becoming stronger. Reluctantly, I pull away and put my right hand on his face. My eyes glowing with happiness. I suddenly remember were we are, and take his hand.
"Come on!" I hiss softly, playfully. Somehow, the lair of the creature didn't seem as bad. He chuckles but grips my hand and runs out of the cage and out of the room with me. I follow him as he runs to the door and sprints out. He slides in the dirt and stops to look around. Something moves in the shadows and I gasp in fear, clutching at his arm.
Donald's POV
When Sora leaves I reach after him, but The King throws his arm out wordlessly. Quacking angerly under my breath, I stamp back into the shadows to wait for him. When he runs out of the castle he is holding hands with Kairi. He stops and looks around, I grumble angerly again. I move to go over to him and Kairi spots me. But she gasps in fear, not happiness.
"Nice of you to come out for us." I grumble as I step towards them.
Goofy's POV
When Sora leaves, Donald reaches after him and The King stops him. I am confused, but don't question the King. I wait worriedly, pacing a little, until Sora runs out holding hands with Kairi. I chuckle 'Huck-a-yuck!' and follow Donald.
"Uh, Hey-ya guys. You okay Kairi?" I ask, glancing at her.
King Mickey's POV
When Sora leaves, Donald reacts wildly. I throw my arm out wordlessly in front of him, holding him to his spot. He grumbles and quacks angerly but stamps away. I watch with worry for Sora and, hopefully, Kairi. When they come running out of the castle, holding hands, I mile and move a little. Kairi gasps in fear as shadows move and clutches at Sora's arm.
"Everything okay, Sora? Kairi?" I ask kindly.
Sora's POV
As I run out of the castle, I slide to a stop and look around for Donald, Goofy and The King. The shadows move and Kairi gasps fearfully, clutching at my arm. I pretend to wince and grin at Donald, then Goofy and The King as they move out of the shadows.
"Yeah," I nod "Just ... great." I shrug, but I am grinning.
"I am fine, I guess." Kairi says softly, tightening her grip on my arm for a second.
"Welp, we need to get out of here. Once we are safe we can find a way to destroy the Rapier, save all these poor girls and destroy this evil make-shift world." The King says in a slightly louder tone than before. I nod, agreeing. Donald sighs and raises his staff to call upon wind again, a big one. This time the wind picks us all up and carries us to the gummy ships within a minute. I quickly go into Donald and Goofy's ship with Kairi and sit down in the love seat. I can hear Riku outside, talking to Donald and Goofy.
"I feel bad for you guys, having to stay with those too. Can you imagine what they might do tonight? I am riding with the King... thank god he has his own gummy ship." Donald and Goofy chuckle and Riku walks away. "Ready for talkoff .... you... guys...?" Donald starts to ask as he walks in, and faulters a bit when he sees us sitting together. Goofy chuckles and walks up to the front of the Gummy ship and straps in, getting ready to go.
"Yeah," Kairi answers. I just nod, eyeing him with fake confusion.
"Okay." He quacks as he stamps up to his seat. He buckles in and gets ready to take off. He says it quietly, but I can hear him.
"I see what Riku meant... jeez he is lucky that he can change ships." Donald's tone is complaining. Goofy chuckles. "Well, they are teasing us already." I sigh, ducking my head.
"Don't worry." She croons softly, stroking my hair for a second, then laying her head on my shoulder. We were safe, she was safe. For now, at least. Now all I had to worry about for the next few days was her, me, us.
