Chapter 8: New Look
Riku, Kairi, and Lea looked at Sora with amazement.
Sora looked completely different..and more mature looking with the outfithe has on. What stood out the most, especially with Riku, was the Chest Piece, black and blue armor.
"H-hey..guys." Sora said. Kairi smiled and blushed faintly while looking at Sora in amazement.
"Where did you get those clothes Sora? You look different." Lea mentions, putting his hands on his hips.
"Oh! W-well the armor piece was part of the 'mission' I was assigned to by Sid. But in order to make sure it would stay on, I had to have a change of clothes..." Sora looked at the trio for approval.
"Looks fine with me." All three said in unison and Sora smiled at that.
"Sorry I couldn't tell you guys where I was going..Yen Sid told me not to tell anyone where it was." Riku nodded in understanding.
The four walked down the alley into the center, going towards the crumbling castle.
"What are we doing here?" Sora asked.
Kairi turned around to face him, "We talked at Merlin's place, they said that the castle has some documents on Kingdom Hearts and some of our enemies. Not organization XIII, but definitely the others." Sora nodded, the two ran up the stairs to catch up to Riku and Lea. Dang they walk fast.
"So..did you see it?" Lea whispered to Riku, glancing at Sora and Kairi who were a good few feet away behind them.
"What do you mean?" Riku whispered back, raising an eyebrow.
"The red on Sora's forehead..it's dry blood." Riku's eyes widen under his white bangs, and glanced back behind them. Now that Lea mentions it..Sora did have some dried blood on his forehead. The crisp dark red must pass right through Kairi's eyes.
"Maybe some troubles with the heartless?" Riku suggested, praying to Kingdom Hearts that Sora didn't run into an actual person of darkness with harmful intents.
"Heartless are known to go for the heart, or knock you out. Not damage you so bad they make you bleed. Especially on the head.." Lea looked worryingly at Riku, wondering what the Keyblade Master was thinking.
"For now..let's ignore it. Once Sora's away from Kairi I'll pull him aside and ask, but not right now. We don't need Kairi worrying, if she isn't already.." The red-head nodded at him, making a zipping motion on his lips with his fingers, promising to keep silent.
The group reached the top after a few minutes..who realized there we so many stairs?!
Riku turned to the other three, and opened his mouth to speak.
"There's SUPPOSED to be document's in here from Ansem's research. The notes Sora found from a lot of the past journeys help, but there are still so many answers left unanswered." Everyone nodded and began to walk inside.
Riku pointed for Kairi and Sora to go left, him and Lea go right, and they split up, going to different studies, offices, and libraries.
Sora sat down, and sighed heavily.
"We're never gunna find anyythiinngg!" Sora whined.
Kairi looked at Sora and rolled her eyes in amusement.
"It's only been a couple hours. There's at least a few libraries here, and we're halfway through this one. With both us working it goes faster- Hey I found something!" Wide eyes looked at Kairi and jumped up immediately, running to her.
"Look at this.." Kairi said, dusting off the cover.
"'The Heart's Inner Workings'?" Sora's interest peaked, and so did Kairi's. They both looked at each other, and almost as if they red each other's minds, they ran out the door hoping to find Riku and show him the discovery.
A/N: This was short, because I just got done moving (and my brain ain't workin') and we are planning on moving some more stuff up here, got Wifi at least so thats good. Next chapter will be from a different person's view, but at the end will tell (if not in between) more about what's happening right now.
Anyways, the short on why they are looking for more documents: Yen Sid is hoping that by reading and learning about what Ansem the Wise has written, they can find out more about what Xehanort could be possibly planning now, since he is still alive. But by doing this, they will probably know more then they bargained for.
Vanitas: That's anti-climatic..
