Chapter 6

Sora sighed as he rubbed his sore muscles.

It was morning, so Ventus had finally unchained him, but he had the worst night sleep.

It was rather cold inside the barn, smelled kind of funny, and Sora had to sleep on the hard ground with chains attaching him to the floor, which made him very uncomfortable, and that fueled his desire to kill Ventus.

Sora silently waited until Ventus left the house after breakfast, when Ventus came out, Sora reached for his sword, checking if it was still there.

Then he slowly crept out after him.

If necessary, and he couldn't reach his sword, he'd break Ventus's neck like it was a twig.

Before he could approach him to drive the blade into him, something tackled him.

He turned angrily, ready to attack with his hand on his weapon.

Kairi was standing in front of him with a big smile on her face.

"Morning!" She happily cried, tossing Sora an orange.

"Here's your breakfast." She said.

Sora saw Ventus had disappeared, and in his rage, flopped down on the ground and began peeling the orange so he could eat it.

Kairi sat next to him in silence, and once the orange was finished and the peels were thrown in the garden, Kairi turned to Sora with a huge grin on her face.

"Thanks for saving me." she said, happily, but quietly.

Sora shot her an annoyed look. "What the heck were you doing near viking territory?" He asked.

"You know that's practically suicide! How could you be so stupid!?"

Kairi sighed. Sora had changed a lot, but she wouldn't give up, for she knew the Sora she had befriended was still in there.

"I was going to sell some Hart cheese. I need to make some more today since the other batch got destroyed in the blaze... Hey! Maybe you can help." she said, happy with her new idea.

Sora was taken aback. He could kill this creature with his bare hands, but she trusted him fully.

She was nothing like Xion, who had grown to act and like a younger version of Larxene and only smiled when someone was dying.

For some reason, he felt something in his heart melt become lighter.

"Okay, I guess. But you'll have to teach me how to do this."

Kairi nodded. "First, we need to milk the cow so we can have milk. Dublin has been ready for a bit, I'll show you how to milk her."

"Really?" Sora sarcastically asked. "We need to milk a cow? I thought cheese was made out of juice."

Kairi's face fell, but not for long. "Come on, Sora!" She said.

Her smooth, creamy hand took ahold of his rough calloused one, and she led him through some tall trees to the fields where the cows were grazing.

She went over to one and pulled her to Sora.

"This is Dublin. Normally, farmers take the cows into the barn to milk." Kairi said, patting the cow's head.

"But we want them to be as relaxed as possible." Eventually, the cow began grazing.

Kairi bent down and began milking her. After a bit, she turned to Sora.

"Your turn." She said.

Sora nervously sat down.

"OH! Be gentle with her." Kairi quickly said.

"Remember, you'll be pulling on her skin, and no person or animal likes that done roughly."

Sora sighed. After a bit of guidance, he slowly began milking Dublin.

It wasn't long before he got a whole pail full of creamy milk.

"Okay, the cow is milked. Now what?" he said, triumphantly

Kairi patted Dublin's back and the cow headed back to the fields to rejoin with her friends and family.

"We head home. Making cheese takes three weeks. We have to let the milk ferment a bit...unless..."

Then she turned. A flock of sheep were starting to gether.

Kairi set the pail down and took off after them.

"Come on, Sora!" She called.

Sora sighed. Kairi was like a puzzle.

He hesitated a bit then ran after her. "What's the point of this? I thought we were here to make cheese!" He cried, catching up to her.

"Yeah, but I also come here for fun!" Kairi giggled, separating a sheep from the herd and going after it.

Sora watched her run, she looked so innocent and free.

He shook his head of those thoughts and tore off after another one, separating this one from the heard.

Eventually, they let the sheep go, and Sora and Kairi were exhausted.

"That was fun!" Sora yelled, flopping down on the ground, laughing.

"That's what I was doing when we first met." Kairi said.

The two of them lay flopped on the ground, laughing

"Come on, we have to head back." Kairi said, offering Sora her hand.

Sora took it, but while Kairi was pulling Sora up, she lost balance and fell on top of him.

A crimson blush filled both their cheeks as they quickly scrambled up.

"I think we should head back." Kairi said, blushing.

Sora nodded and the two of them headed back to Kairi's house
