Haha, I'm really good at writing cliffhangers, aren't I? =P

Anyway, I hope that you guys are enjoying this story so far! I think that this chapter pretty much counts as the climax of the story. Or at least part of it anyway.

Beware; this chapter contains possible rape, as long as even more possible beating on Mysterie.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts; I only own Mysterie.

03: Need You Now

.


Sora ran as fast as he could to the park.

Mysterie screamed as she was dragged out of the closet, thrashing her arms and legs around in protest.

Sora ran to the south end of the park and started tearing through the bushes, ignoring the curious glances from the others in the park.

Mysterie felt tears sting her eyes as she was forced onto the ground and her hands were bound.

"Hold her down, or else she'll run away again." she heard the woman hiss.

Mysterie felt a hand holding her wrists down and her eyes locked with one of the men, the smaller of the two, who looked unsure.

Sora tumbled out of the bushes and he ran towards Mysterie's window and noticed that it was locked.

He heard a scream and ran around to the front, just as the front door slammed shut and he heard yelling.

"No!" Mysterie screamed as she felt the other mans' hands on her. She attempted to struggle and she heard the front door open.

"What is going on here?!" A familiar voice asked.

Mysterie saw the woman's husband, angry and he started shouting at the woman and the two men. He walked over to where Mysterie was held and pulled her up.

As everyone in the house yelled, Mysterie looked out the window and saw Sora looking at her with worry. She felt even more tears in her eyes and her hands were freed.

Sora started pacing. He stopped when he looked in the window and saw Mysterie looking back at him. He heard sirens and spun around to see two police cars pull up.

Four police men stepped out of each of the cars and started toward the house, brushing past Sora and bursting into the house. The man who helped Mysterie up, the husband of the woman, had started talking to the police and Mysterie started towards the door.

Sora looked at her standing in the doorway. The tears in her eyes spilled out and she took off running towards Sora. He ran towards her and they crashed into a hug.

"I…I was so scared…" Mysterie whispered. "It's alright Mysterie, I'm here now." Sore mumbled in return, gently brushing his hand over her hair.

Mysterie sobbed into Sora's shoulder and he started to feel numb when he saw one of the policemen walking toward them.

"So Mysterie." The police woman started, straightening the papers in her hands. Mysterie stared at the woman across the table from her. The woman smiled. "It'll be alright. After we finish questioning you, we will be able to track your parents down and you can return to your…friend."

Mysterie felt her cheeks heat up and she nodded.

"How old were you when you were abducted?" The woman asked, clicking her pen to take some notes. "I…I was three." Mysterie whispered. "Okay; do you remember your last name?"

Mysterie nodded. "It's…Aihira."

The woman wrote the notes down, looked through some of the papers in front of her and she then smiled softly at Mysterie.

"Well Mysterie, in my hands I hold a few possible people that might be your parents. Would you like to take a look?" The woman asked. Mysterie nodded and the papers were spread out in front of her.

The addresses of the married couples were spread out, but only one caught her eye. She looked at the picture of the couple and her eyes widened. The woman has chin length blue hair, blue eyes, and the man has shaggy brown hair and blue eyes.

Mysterie pointed toward the picture. "T-That's them…"

The woman took the papers back and smiled at Mysterie. She stood up and held her hand out towards Mysterie. "Well Mysterie, you are free to go back to your friend now." She said as Mysterie shook her hand. The woman was about to leave the room when she turned to Mysterie with a smile. "Oh, and happy birthday."

Sora paced back and forth. "Calm down bro. We're all waiting to see her." Roxas said with a raised eyebrow. "I…I can't help it! I'm worried about her!" Sora said, his cheeks a faint pink.

Naminé smiled. "There she is Sora."

Sora turned to see Mysterie walking down the hallway with a police officer, who was talking to her with a smile. Mysterie saw Sora and smiled brightly. She ran over to him and he caught her in another embrace.

Sora put his hands on her cheeks and smiled happily at her. "I'm…really glad that you're alright." He said. Mysterie gently grabbed onto his wrists. "I'm happy that I'm alright too Sora." She said, a smile on her face. "Guess what?"

Sora moved his hands from her face onto her shoulders. "What…?" He asked curiously.

"They found my parents!" Mysterie said with a smile. "Really?!" Sora asked. "Yeah! I'm…supposed to meet them today." Mysterie said softly. Sora smiled. "That's great!"

"Hey you two, kiss already!" Vanitas shouted.

Sora and Mysterie turned, both of their faces red. "Kiss~!" Xion chirped.

"Kiss!" They chanted.

Sora and Mysterie looked at each other, their faces redder than before. "Do you want too...?" Sora mumbled, but he was cut off by Mysterie locking lips with him. He closed his eyes and his arms snaked around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Mysterie's arms wrapped around Sora's neck as he returned the kiss.

They separated and Mysterie smiled at Sora. "Thank you. For not only being my first friend in a while, but also being with me." She said. Sora smiled back and kissed her cheek before releasing his grip on her.

"Hey Mysterie, we wanted to also see you today." Kairi said, walking over to Mysterie and Sora. Riku, Roxas and Naminé walked over to them as well.

"Happy Birthday." Kairi said, hugging Mysterie, before being joined by Naminé and Xion.

Mysterie smiled and thanked them. She felt someone touch her hand and looked down to see Sora's hand tangled with hers.

"So Mysterie; what do you want to do?" Roxas asked. Mysterie bit her lip. "Well...I might need to find a place to stay at until the police locate my parents." She said. "Oh yeah!" Sora said quickly, hitting his cheek with his free hand. "What's up?" Riku asked, an eyebrow raised. "Mysterie, I actually wanted to tell you something..."

"Mysterie...?"

Mysterie sucked in a breath as she heard a vaguely familiar voice call her name. She slowly turned around and saw the same woman and man that were in the picture that the police officer showed her.

The woman put her hand over her mouth and tears welled up in her eyes. Mysterie felt like she couldn't breathe.

"M-Mom...?" She breathed out.

The woman started toward Mysterie and Sora let go of Mysteries hand. He smiled at her and nodded in the direction of the woman walking toward her. Mysterie turned back toward her mother and met her in a hug. The man, Mysterie's father, hugged the girls.

Sora smiled.

He was able to save her after all.


There we go! :)
Just so all of you know, the next chapter will be the last!
