UPDATE! (happy dance) I'm happy that people are reading and liking. If a person is reading THIS far then they have to like it, otherwise they probably would have given up on chapter ten or so. XD Anywho, here is chapter 36, enojoy!

Kokoro walked up the steps, the hallway was long. The stairs only led to one room forward, the bathroom, while three doors lined the wall. The first room was Sora's; the door opened and showing that it hadn't changed sense the events of the game. The next room had a closed door while the last was open as well. Opposite the bathroom, at the end of the hall, was the room she would use. The guest room. Kokoro walked down the hallway to get to the room but heard Sora coming up. She ran to the guest room and closed the door as much as she could to still look out. Sora went into the middle room, not closing the door behind him. Kokoro tip toed to the side of the door, listening. "Hey there Sami." He went to the bed. The room was white and had a great bed. Dolls were lying everywhere and the window that was a big as a door was closed and locked. "Sami, I'm home." Sora sat on the side of the bed, next to a little girl. Her hair was long and the bangs were grown out as well. She slept there in pink pajamas and the paupu doll in her hands. Sasami opened her eyes and looked up at Sora. "Hey there, sorry I'm so late."

The girl sat up and hugged him, then tried to say hello but nothing came out. Instead she signed, sign language, H-E-L-L-O.

Sora did the same thing, then let her cuddle onto his lap. "How is mom doing?"

Sasami looked up at him, doll in hand, and let the doll dance around a bit.

"I see." Sora leaned forward a bit, looking at her. "How about you? You're doing good?"

Sasami nodded.

"Good." He started to tickle her, and she laughed, but no noise came out. Kokoro leaned against the wall, sliding down and covering her mouth. She never knew that any of this was happening to Sora in his life, if the mission hadn't stressed him out enough this should have. "So, what about Mom and Mr. Kakemono?"

Sasami got out of Sora's tickling grip and went back to the pillow, pulling from under it a ring. It was the irish ring of loyalty, friendship, and love. She put it in her finger, then took it off and put it on the doll's hand.

"Oh..." Sora lost his cheerful tone. Sasami then gave him the ring. "Oh no, this is yours!" He took the ring out of his hand and slipped it onto her finger. "See? It looks good on you." The little girl laughed again with silence. Kokoro wasn't looking in anymore, she was now just sitting in the hallway and listening. "You better get some sleep. Mom told me tomorrow the doctor is going to come and see you. You'll try again?" She looked up and nodded. "Good, bed time." Sora got up and Sasami went back to where she was before. Sora tucked her in and gave her a peck on the forehead, then started to leave the room. Kokoro didn't move, she just sat on the ground, in a daze. Sora came out and closed the door behind him, finding Kokoro on the floor. "Were you listening in?"

Kokoro looked up at him, hand over her heart. "Sora... there's something you need to know about Sasami..." She stood up, Sora watching every move she made. "Well..."

"Well?" Sora waited for an answer. Izumi then came up with some spare sheets and some clothing that Kairi was lending so she could sleep over. "Hey Mom."

Izumi came up to the two. "Did you wake Sasami again?" Sora smiled, he did it and didn't want to hide it. "As long as she wakes up on time for the doctor tomorrow."

"I told her." Sora said, then turned back to Kokoro. "Yeah? You had something to say?"

"Nothing." Kokoro shook her head, letting her hands fall. "Just my imagination." Sora smiled at this and said good night to everybody, then left to his room. Kokoro took the sheets and went to the guest room. The room was new. One window facing down to the street and a desk to the left wall. Under the window was a bed, the long side against the wall, and a closet was to the left. Kokoro put the sheets on the bed and sat down herself. She then raised her right hand a bit and Fenrir came in physical form, sleeping on the floor. "Fenrir... Fenrir." She went to the wolf and started to shake his shoulder.

He opened his eyes and looked at her, never raising his head. "Yes Little Miss?"

"Can an element take over a person?" The wolf raised his head at this, she didn't know that twice so far she was possessed. "Well?"

Fenrir nodded. "Sometimes yes. It depends on the condition of the heart and the connection to the element. A fear or a love of it can let the element take over if the person isn't an elementist."

Kokoro sat on the floor, scratching Fenrir behind the ears. "Can you do something for me? As a favor?"

"Anything that Little Miss desires I must obey." Fenrir stood up, stretching.

Kokoro laughed at this, he was lazy today. "Whatever, you don't have to do it. I just want you to keep an eye on Sora's little sister Sasami. When I was with her... she felt like an element." Fenrir sat down and tilted his head. "Yeah... it might be because I'm tired, but a coink-i-dink like this is even bizarre for me."

"I will try my best Little Miss." Fenrir said.

Kokoro gave Fenrir a hug. "Thank you." She gave him another scratch behind the ears and under the chin, then the blue and white wolf vanished into dust. Kokoro went back to the bed and set it, then got into the pajama pants and tank top top of moons and stars and lay on the bed. "There is no way... that an element can be here before I come... and in relation to Sora... can there?"

Momo and Daniel were sitting together in Laura's new bakery. She had the moogles from town build her a little place off to the side in First District, in the corner between the World Door and the restaurant of moogle candles. Inside it always smelled of backed good and the mints that she specialized in. Laura, in her chef outfit and cap, brought in a tray of chocolate chip cookies and started to place them in the racks for selling. Her business made a good profit but Momo and Daniel moping there wasn't improving business. "Are you guys-"

"We're fine." Both said, then took a deep breath.

Momo lay her head down on the counter, sitting on a high stool and the Reiki laying against the counter below her. "Kokoro and Sora have been gone for only two days, but things just seem so... boring."

"Yeah, that's right." Daniel also lay his head on the counter, looking down at the cookies and cakes underneath. "So... we're just going to stay here."

Momo nodded. "Not to mention that Mark and Skarwind are always off on their own training each other, I try to join them but it's like they're in their own little world."

Daniel nodded in agreement.

Laura took two cookies off of the tray and gave one to each. "It's on me." She said. Momo and Daniel took their cookies and ate them, then started to mope again. "You guys have to do something!"

"I guess we can look for something fun to do... until Sora and Kokoro get back." Momo got up, putting Reiki on her back, and started out of the bakery. Daniel got up slowly, picked up his staff, and followed her. Both walked around all of Traverse Town talking about little things, then came back to First and sat on the steps. "This is really boring..."

"I got it!" Daniel said out of the blue. Momo looked at him and wanted to know. "Why don't we ask for a Gummi and fly somewhere? Huh? How does that sound?"

Momo started to pout in her hands again. "You know now to drive one?" He shook his head. "Then there is the answer." Again both let their head rest in their hands. After a few minutes of silence between the two Momo got a call. When everyone got back from Hallow Bastion King Mickey got everyone phones, fitting them the best with the features, and put everyone on speed dial. Her pink phone on her side was ringing. It was a small one that slid open and closed. Momo opened it and looked at the picture screen, on it was a cherry blossom tree and in dark pink words 'DONALD'. She tapped the receive button and put it to her ear. "Yeah?" A few words, most non understandable. "What!" Momo shot up, standing with excitement. "Yeah, we're on our way!" She stopped the call and hit the number for Mark. After a few rings he picked up. "Mark, this is Momo. We have a mission that we have to do, stat. Get Skarwind and supply up, we have to get a Royalty." A few words that Daniel couldn't understand from the distance of sitting to standing. "No no, just us. We're going to protect the Royalty without Kokoro or Sora. We can do it! Just get Skarwind and yourself to First District as quick as you can, then Donald will come and pick us up. Hurry up and don't be late!" She hung up, putting the phone back on her side. She then helped Daniel up and gave him a hug. "We have a mission! Something to do!" Momo then gave Daniel a quick peck on the lips and ran off to the item shop. Daniel just watched as she went inside. Something that he would never get used to, her sudden changes in attitude. But then again, that was a perk that he really liked about her.

Kokoro walked downstairs, Sasami was on the couch with Pau, her doll, in her arms. She was watching the news, the weather to be exact. Clear pleasant day. Kokoro then waved hello, getting no wave in return, and walked into the dining room. "Morning." She walked in, looking around. Sora was at the table, falling asleep, while Izumi came in with two plates of eggs and bacon. "Hello there Mrs. Izumi."

"Why hello Kokoro, you seem chipery this morning." His mother said. "Sasami, breakfast!" The little girl came running over, not turning off the television, and moved Kokoro to the side so she could sit next to Sora. He gave one more yawn and started to pick at his food. "Sora, did you sleep last night?"

"Yeah..." Sora started to eat. Kokoro took a seat opposite of Sora, where Kairi was the night before, and looked at them. Sasami was playing with her food but still eating it. Izumi then came in with another plate, one for Kokoro. Sasami then turned to her mother and tugged her shirt, no later spelling something with her hand. Kokoro started to laugh, she learned the basic twenty six letters and understood what she said. "Sami!" He yelled out. Sasami spelt diary out, meaning that Sora had one. "I don't have one!"

"Aww... come on Sora." Kokoro looked at Sasami. Then she spelt something at a normal pace. N-I-C-E -O-N-E. Sasami laughed, then started to eat her food again. Kokoro started breakfast, she never tasted anything like it. "Hmm... this is great!"

Izumi laughed. "Oh, thank you. You know this is Sora's favorite? He can't have seafood. He's slightly allergic to it."

"Mom!" Sora started to get embarrassed again.

Kokoro laughed, then spoke. "I'm allergic too, so I guess it's a good thing." The conversation the rest of the morning was a peaceful one, a good way to start a day when Sasami's doctor was supposed to come.

YEAH! More more more more more! Oh, and I am allergic to seafood in real life. XD I told you that Kokoro is based off of me, looks and all. Oh yeah... and her real name. XD The last name sure is a doozy isn't it? That's mine (points to self)

hope you enjoyed, updates coming soon!
