Now that I thnk of it, I'm coming up within the month of my birthday... um. I always forget the date. Sad, isn't? I'm glad I can tell you guys are looking at this. I have a stat checker. Haha! But I'd love it if you reviewed too.

Ravyn: Please?

Luc: You'll get on both of their good lists.

Axel: And she won't try to sic me on you guys.

It won't work, I've tried everything.

Zigfeld: she doesn't own anything but her ideas. And that doesn't include your impulse to review.

Even if you don't review thank you for reading!

((By the way we'll be checking up on Sora and his crew.))

Chapter 21

"I know what I'm doing, Cloud!" Sora shouted on the top of his lungs.

"No you don't. You're not even looking at the gummi highway." the talented swordsman replied. Sora was arguing with him because they were having difficulty with heartless and Sora had almost crashed the gummi ship...

...over a dozen times. Kairi sat farther back away from them incase it led to throwing of fists and pointy objects.

"Just let me drive!" Sora complained.

"If I do, you'll kill us all." he replied.

"No I won't!" the short brunette protested.

"Yes you will, and I really doubt Kairi had plans for dying today."

"Leave me out of this, please." the recently added subject pleaded.

"Well, if you're not standing there, yelling at me, I won't crash!" Sora retaliated as the remark of his close friend hit home.

"I wasn't yelling. I was giving helpful advice." cloud huffed and sat in the seat he was given.

"Finally." Sora mumbled under his breath and recovered his full attention on driving.

"So.. Cloud." Kairi began, trying to start a friendly conversation with the swordsman.

"What?" he growled.

"Well.. I was just wondering.. well that is." she stuttered, evidently bothered by Cloud's aggrsive reply.

"Spit it out." he growled again.

"How did you get to be so... what's the word... um I'm thinking closed." she shyly replied.

"Closed?" he blinked a few times, confused on what the redhead was asking.

"Aerith told me you never talk to people you don't trust. And you don't trust too many people. Why is that?" she finished.

"I just don't trust people as freely as others do." he shrugged it off. Then returned to his latest soncern. "Sora! Watch where you're friggin' going!" he jumped up and attempted to push the short brunette out of the drivers seat.

"Let me drive and sit down!" Sora waved him off and outwardly kicked at him. Cloud reluctantly sat down but could be clearly heard muttering 'stubborn good for nothing little snot nosed iditot.'

"Um.. Sora are we almost there?" Kairi leaned a little bit farther from Cloud and hugged her knees.

"Just about." he assured her.

"Thank all the good things in the world." Cloud muttered.

"Oh, spoil sport." Sora teased him, throwing a bottle at his head.

"What do you want?" he groaned.

"We're here. I told you." he stuck his tongue out at him.

"What world is it?" he asked.

"Let's take a look." Sora pulled up a screen and a large image of a world covered in large buildings and mountains. The computer's screen had a large pop up of a voice beam.

"The world you are currently looking at is the Land of the Dragons." a relatively female voice came over the ship.

"Who are you?" Kairi asked the voice.

"My name is V.A.I.G. I am your system guide.

"Vaig?" Cloud loked around the ship curiously.

"Voice Activated Information Guide. I was installed by Cid." the voice explained.

"Okay... Cid has evidently had a lonely life if he's creating voice activated computers and installing them." Sora shook his head and looked for a button on the controls.

"What are you looking for?" V.A.I.G. asked as her rubbed his head.

"The door button." he looked up to where ever. "Do you know where it is?"

"To your left and up." she answered.

"Oh, thanks." Sora nodded and pressed the button and the three passengers stepped in to be beamed to the ground. when the reached the solid dirt Kairi layed down and rolled on her stomach.

"Um.. Kairi, what are you doing?" Sora asked her, trying not to laugh.

"Hugging the solid ground." she replied, looking up.

"Okay." he looked at her confused.

"I love you ground. I will never let either of those two behind a wheel and almost run us into a meteor." she said to the inaminate object.

"Um.. that's nice, Kairi. Where's Cloud?" the short brunette looked around to find to the swordsman trying to catch his breath.

"I hate that transporting thingy." Coud cursed.

"You'll get used to it." Sora assured him.

"No I won't. I've been going on thst thing since it was built. I just don't like them." Cloud tokd him truthfully.

"Okay then." Sora nodded. "Our other passenger has vowed either to drive herself or never to leave this world." he stared at the girl hugging the grass and dirt.

"No I didn't. I just won't either of you drive and crash into a meteor..." she stood up and dusted herself off. "Cloud."

"It was an accident." He shook his head.

"You still crashed into it."

"On accident." the swordsman replied.

"Whatever." Sora separated them.

"Where are we?" Kairi asked.

"The Land of the Dragons." he replied.

"Great. We're in Japan." Cloud muttered.

"China." Sora corrected him.

"What's the difference." he grumbled.

"Sora?" a voice of a girl came from behing them and a women stepped from behind a large stone. Her black hair was cut short and she was dressed in an outfit that reminded Kairi of a soldiers garb from feudal china. On the women's shoulder stood a red lizard.

"Ack! A lizard!" Kairi shouted and hid behind Sora.

"I ain't no lizard." It replied. "I don't do that tongue thing." he crossed his arms and did exactly that little tongue thing.

"Kairi, Cloud, this is Mulan and her guardian dragon Mushu." Sora introduced the two pairs of people.

"Sora, we're so glad that you're back. Something strange is happening." Mulan told the boy.

"What?" he asked.

"We think that the heartless have posessed the emperor pf china."
