Chapter 7: The fairies inn

The incident with Fouquet was now over and a state of calmness was achieved for the Institute of Magic. After learning that Miss Longueville was actually Fouquet herself everyone else was quite shocked she was always a kind woman and a really hard worker too, how could she be so two faced steals from the place she worked, putting innocents in harm, and would have successfully gotten away with it, if not for the young band of spell casters.

Old Osmond explained that Louise, Kirche, and Tabitha along with the boy familiar captured the criminal, also returning the staff to destruction, but Louise stepped up telling everyone that her familiar who actually caught her, she really didn't do much. But as the students were about to agree Sora step up telling them that she did help. If she didn't pull out the staff of destruction thing could have been worse.

Speaking of our young hero, he was sleeping on the grass, tired after using refocus earlier. "*Yawn*" Sora now awake but still half asleep.

[You really need to work on that power. Last thing you need is sleeping in a battle.] The sword said.

Sora soon rubbed his eyes "I know."

[By the way, I got to ask something.]

"What is it?" Sora asked.

[Who or what's Kairi? You were muttering that in your sleep.] Derf said as this cause Sora to blush out of pure embarrassment.

"W-Was I?"

[ Yeah. You were, so?] The blade asked as Sora began to tell his weapon that she is one of his friends from childhood. [Ah I understand now, you love this girl right.] Derf bluntly said causing the keyblade wielder to turn beet red.

"Lo-Love! We-We grew up together! She's one of my best friends." Sora quickly denied as his companion continued to poke fun. "I'm telling you it's not like that!"

"Not like what?" A third voice the spikey haired brunette turned and saw Siesta with a confused look "Sora, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing Siesta, nothing at all!" He told her as he was waving his hand back and forth which only made it more confusing, what was he so nervous about and why is his face so red?

"Um, alright." The raven haired girl merely shrugged off her confusion soon a group of students came by commenting as the saw both the keyblade wielder and the maid.

"Hey look it those two together again."

"You know, Louise's familiar is one thing, but a maid using magic?"

"Yeah, I mean you saw it too, how she healed his injuries."

"Well she's not an elf, think she's a noble?"

"I doubt it, maybe she's a daughter of one, you know love affair." They continue to spin theory's they still couldn't get that out of their memories not one but two non nobles with the ability to use magic, what was the reason for this.

Both of them could hear the students talking about them.

"People like to gossip don't they." Sora said as the raven haired girl agreed with him saying that they do have a right to say what they want but, after all, commoners with the ability to use magic is unheard of so the had a right.

The ground soon left as the maid turn face at the young spikey haired teen wondering what was on her mind. "So anyway, what were you doing?"

"Nothing really, Louise is in class so she had me stay out here, still trying to get better control over my new power." He said as she soon realized what he was talking about. The one that causes him to fall unconscious during the whole Fouquet incident.

She asked him if capturing the criminal was as difficult as they say, as Sora went over the details of their venture he said that she summoned a golem like that from the other day. He was glad that she didn't summon any heartless like the one that wrecked the stage during the exhibition, maybe she thought she wouldn't need to. But still he was unsettled feeling in him who is this mysterious character that gave her that rock troll heartless in the first place?

"This guy in black really worries you doesn't it?" The maid asked

"Yeah, the Organization. All they ever done is use people as they saw fit, including me and my friends. We managed to stop them but..."

"But what?" She was not going to like what he was about to say

"Well we tried so hard to make sure they didn't succeed in their goals, we all fought with everything we got and we won. But if feels like all the fighting, all the sacrifices that we made... *Sigh, maybe it was all pointless." He said with depression in his voice and clouded eyes his sadness cause Siesta to look distraught she didn't know what to say without striking a nerve, this must have been real important to him. "Sorry about that. I don't mean to sound so-" Sora apologize with a fake smile on his face but was soon caught off guard when the raven haired maid was suddenly hugging him from the back wrapping her arms around his neck. "Huh, want are you-!?"

"Listen." She began as Sora was starting to listen, "I. I don't what happened in your life and I possibly couldn't understand what you went through but, don't say it was pointless. Look at what you have done, you saved me from a life I didn't want at all, you also saved the students, the princess, and captured a criminal who would have hurt us all. You have done so much good for others that it can't be ignored." Sora couldn't reply as her hold was tightening. "You know my grandfather use to tell me something, he said 'a person shouldn't always doubt themselves, your own doubts are like their own darkness, always blocking your views'. It's fine to worry about things whether it be big or small but don't let it take over. You need find your way through it, and if you can't, someone will be the light that'll make sure you see it."

As Sora heard every bit of Siesta's words the images all his friends, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Kairi, and everyone else flooded his mind, and how they all could have nearly died during the keyblade war the first time. It was the lowest point for the young hero his inability to save them was like a blade striking him that kind of memory will be forever edge.

(The keyblade graveyard)

"There gone. Kairi, Donald... Goofy, the king... Gone forever. What do we do?" He said looking at his best friend with tears running down his face, Riku was absolutely speechless to see him like this, "Without them... I. All my strength, came from them. The gave me all of it. Alone, I'm worthless. We lost. It's over..."

The young keybearer had given up all hope, the silver hair master wanted to comfort him but chose not to his actions would prove it, not all is lost. "Sora, you don't believe that. I know you don't." Riku said as he began to walk to the heartless storm.

His memory stopped as he took Siesta's hand with a warm smile adorning his face, despite all the bad that happened that day, Riku gave him a small bit of hope from his sacrifice, the motivation to save his friends even if it cost him everything and you know what it was well worth it. "Thank you. I guess I needed to hear that, thanks Siesta." He said now holding onto her hand.

"Your welcome." She said having a smile on her face also, her heart began to flutter a little their was always something about Sora that kept causing this feeling to swell up, is this...what love feels like. Unfortunately this kind embrace was soon cut off by Derflinger.

[Hey don't look now, but it looks like you guys have audience. ] The Sword said as the two saw some people watching them namely a few female student who shot glares at the maid for getting close, this caused the two to separate with a awkward smile along with a laugh, the dark haired maid was about to say sorry for acting out of feeling but Louise soon appeared with an angry scowl on her face.

"I see you are doing your usual animal antics!" She said grabbing him by the ear.

"Ow! What!" He replied back rubbing his ear lobe.

"Don't "what" me, you know exactly what I'm talking about! Now come on!" She yell as she now was dragging him off by his hood, after the dance he thought they finally found some ground but it looks like it was probably a work still in progress.

Siesta looked at the two going off in the distance with a vivid looked on her face, yeah she screams and yells at Sora regularly, but their was something in her eyes they tell differently. It was almost like she was trying to get him away from her, a single question ran through the dark haired maids mind as they were out of sight "Dose Miss Vallière. Like her familiar?" That was what she thought as she was still sitting in place that would explain why he was red maybe he likes her back, but Siesta wasn't going to give up that easy, her heart has decided.

(The castle)

"Thank you Louise, I'm sure that the capturing of Fouquet was not easy but you succeeded, on behalf of the kingdom, I heard by grant you, Louise Françoise, the title of Chevalier." The purple haired princess said.

Sora just had a bored expression on his face, he finally understood what the whole of being a noble was you get treated first and get credit for anything you do even if the person who is besides you had done the work, not that he really cared. Well, he did get the staff of destruction or rather a keyblade that belong to a wielder that came to this world before him now even if it wasn't a clue it was something.

"Your to kind Lady Henrietta. This is truly an honor to be bestowed this title you have given." Louise said humbly bowing in respect.

"And I want to thank you too Sora, For protecting her, such actions should be rewarded." The princess said with her hand extended.

Sora blinked a few times as he slowly tilted his head out of confusion what was she talking about and why was her hand was out. He didn't do it with a reward in mind, all that was going on was that she was in danger

"Princess, he's a lowly families. Why are you honoring him with this?" Louise said as Sora scrunched his eyebrows slightly at Louise's blunt comment after all they been through you think she turned over a new leaf, but no. Although she isn't as bad as she was before, she can still get violent though but something about has changed.

"It all right Louise." She said calmly to her pink haired friend "I now you familiar contributed in the capturing of Fouquet. He deserves this much." Henrietta said still having her hand out.

"Okay...So what am I supposed to do?" Sora asked as Louise pulled into his jacket roughly.

"Her Highness is asking you to take a vow to protect me. And to do that she is letting you kiss her, you should feel honored." She snarled at the brown haired familiar as Sora's mind slowly began to process what she just said.

"Wait...WHAT?!" Sora screamed "Y-Y-You want to Ki-Kis-Kiss her!" He stammered all the princess he met just thank him or he and his friends would just bow to them, they never once a asked for a kiss. Sora couldn't do it, it was too embarrassing; especially after Louise, tried to kiss him on the lips and Siesta, and Kirche had kissing him in the past.

Louise looked at him telling him to do it, but Sora said no she soon growled at him telling him to do it or he would just be rude to the princess Sora didn't want to be rude to her so he just gave in, but doing it freely with out a care, normally that's fine with your family or the girl you like do people in this world do you just give a kiss to anybody.

"Come on. Hurry up." Louise rushed as her familiar took the princesses hand and looked eyes with her, just where was he supposed to kiss her, the lips were obviously a no so maybe... he just closed his eyes took a deep breath and gave her a small peck on her left cheek, he quickly pulled away with a small flustered look upon his face.

He glanced up at Henrietta's face, only to see her eyes wide and her mouth dropped open. It caused him to panic a bit.

"What! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Louise yelled as she flailed her arms about.

Sora panic still red "Wha-What! You said to kiss her!" What she meant was he was allowed to kiss yes but just her 'hand' what fool would do that anyway, just kiss her on her cheek? "Heh, well the princesses I've met never really asked me to do that, normally would just a greeting or me and my friends bowing." He said nervously scratching that back of his head.

Henrietta cleared her throat as a healthy blush dusted her cheeks. She gave a small, yet nervous smile. "It seems you are very unfamiliar with our customs."

"Yeah, kinda."

"Please forgive me Princess Henrietta!" Louise said prostrating herself, "My stupid familiar has shamed you, I take full responsibility for this action." But the princess just shook her head and giggled, telling her childhood friend that it was alright no harm was done. Sora looked at the purple haired girl with a smile she really is a real kind person isn't she.

"You apologize too moron!" Louise yelled

"You told me to do it! You've just said to kiss her hand." Sora said back, shen then rushed to him ready to discipline him but as she was about to make contact he did a reversal and picked her up by her ankle as he did once before. "You really need to work on your anger issues."

"PUT ME DOWN!" Louise screamed, this was the second time he's done this and it was just humiliating for a familiar to do this especially in front of her highness, who simply giggled at the interaction between her friend and familiar. But getting back to what was at the topic she need to discuss, Henrietta said to Sora to let go of Louise but not before the pink haired girl gave a glare to her familiar swearing to get him back.

"So Henrietta, is there something you need us to do?" Sora asked

"Whatever it is, I promise you, I will do my up most to see it done." Louise said all dramatic like.

"Well, I would like you do some investigation." She said as Louise and Sora question what she meant by investigation. "I've been hearing rumors about a few nobles that have been oppressing the common people. Earlier I asked, they all said the same thing 'The nobility are the examples of what we plebeian hope to be come'."

Sora grit his teeth trying to keep his rage to a minimum but hearing that, does all the nobles in this world care only about using people the act no difference from how Organization XIII and saying that examples was just an exaggeration the royals were nicer but her their is like a few exceptional people here.

"So you want us to spy on the town?" Louise said also secretly hoping that Sora would change his temper it's frightening to see him when he's mad.

"Yes, Like Count Mott, I'm starting to believe that these rumours aren't just rumors after all. So if it's alright with the two of you, I would like you to investigate this in secret. I know it's a very difficult thing to ask, but..."

"Yes Princess! Your wish shall be granted." She approached the princess bowing in front of her. "Even though I only now received the title of Chevalier, My familiar and I do are up most to accomplish your request!" She said as she shot dagger's at Sora. "Bow, down you idiot!" Sora did what she said a bowed to the princess who gave small grin.

"I knew I could trust you, both of you." She told giving that a piece of paper, the brown haired keyblade wielder what it was, "These documents are proof of your noble status when words wouldn't do, I've also prepared funds for you use as well."

Louise kneeled "Thank you, I promise I wouldn't fail you." She soon made her way to the door, as Sora was still in place.

"Wait a minute Louise."

"What, we have a important mission!" She proclaim.

"I just need to ask the princess something." The princess had a looked on her face what was it he wanted to ask her. "Well it's about Fouquet, did she tell you who gave her that heartless the other day?"

Henrietta shook her head "No, not yet. Right now we're currently in search of all the missing items that she had stole, but we do plan to ask the identity of her soon."

"You haven't asked yet?"

"No." Their was a brief pause "But that is something we should look into soon, I've been hearing about people in my kingdom who have suddenly vanished from sight. I can't help but be cautious about this, but I can feel like their is a darkness growing by the day." She looked down at the ground with a woeful look on her face.

Louise saw her childhood friend, she felt worried about her, and this heartless scourge must be dealt with soon. Sora look at her face he soon place his hand on her shoulder, he said to her that everything will be alright, no matter how much the darkness grows he vowed to protect her kingdom no matter what. She soon had a delightful smile across her face, his gentle smile and eyes set her soul at ease, but Louise however was unhappy at this how dare this idiot seduce the princess.

Without saying anything she immediately grabbed the back of his head pulling hard on his hair and dragging him out. Henrietta let a small giggle at her old friend who walk out with her familiar, it would seem that she's definitely developed a certain feeling for her familiar or maybe it was just her usual antics well either way Louise is lucky to have someone like him by her side.

It was later that day Sora and Louise went into town but before they could, they had to do something about Louise's clothes, she stick out as they were walking by they saw shops bustling the two soon found the tailor. The two walked out with Louise wearing plain clothing with dissatisfied look at what she had on but for this mission to go as planned yet she wanted something a little more flashier as she walked down the stairs. Sora didn't get why she was hating her clothes he told her that she look great.

Louise turned away not caring about his opinion she was now concerning herself on what they needed. "I can not believe this, one horse for 400 Écus, 200 Écus for just one night at that hotel!" She sigh stomping through the street "We just don't have enough."

"Couldn't you find a place that's cheaper?"

"Of course not! I am an aristocrat, I can't sleep in some old and run down room!" She said fumed as Sora groaned at her usual complaining.

"Even if it's to accomplish the princesses mission?" He said as Louise came to an immediate halt "So, this job really is impossible for a girl of royal blood." He teased a bit.

Louise wouldn't have it she spun around and pointed at him "Fine then, I guess I'll have to find a way myself." She huffed and proceeded to walk away, Sora was a little worried about what she has planned for their money "Don't follow me!" She barked as she proceeded to walk away from her familiar.

"Why do I bad feeling about this?"

(Sunset)

Sora was wondering around all over looking for Louise, he finally found her sitting on the edge of the water fountain she wore a displeasant facial expression. When he approached her he was shocked at what she had done.

"WHAT! YOU LOST IT ALL GAMBLING!?" Sora shouted sitting besides her as Louise gave a small nod.

"W-Well they said I could earn more money." She tried to find reason but was still embarrassed at her own blunder.

"Yeah but everyone knows you need skill and luck for those kinda things. Louise do you have any experience playing cards?" She didn't even reply as the keybearer just hanged his head "*Sigh* I see now why the princess asked me to keep an eye on you."

"Be quiet." Louise snapped "I'm trying to think about what we should do right now."

"Maybe the princess can get us more money?" Sora assumed

"This job was a personal request from her majesty herself, I'm sure it was difficult for her to require all we had." She said standing up crossing her arms.

"You say that, but you tried to buy a horse and you wanted us to sleep in that very expensive inn too. I don't get it, you seriously can't expect to have everything, you know that right?" Sora said also wishing he was managing the money given how he would buy weapons and accessories but he knew how to manage the money he and his friends had Louise on the other hand still had a lot to learn.

But the only thing she said was it was important to her and that he wouldn't understand, Sora could only raise his brow at what she just said but was soon thinking about what to do now they were both homeless and to rub salt on the wound, they're also broke. Maybe They could do some street performances and earn a little cash but as Sora continued to figure out a way he and Louise heard someone's voice.

"Très bien, what do we have here." Sora and Louise looked and saw man...Or at least he was a guy, who was wearing rather showy clothes His arms were very hairy, along with his chest, but he was wearing very short shorts with a tank top that clung to his skin, showing off his ripped muscles.

"Gah, What?" That was all Sora could say feeling a little disturbed as was Louise.

"I see two young ones all alone, homeless and with no money, am I correct." The 'man' said.

"Ah yeah." Sora replied still a little creeped out as Derflinger told him to be careful it's when night falls the freaks come out.

"Well today is your lucky day. I happen to have a place for the two of you."

Sora stood up surprised to her that. "What really!"

"Oui, down the road you two are more then likely to say their for as long as you need." This person was actually generous offering them a place to stay even though how he talks and how he was dressed was a little weird he didn't seem like he was that bad.

Sora seeing him for his kindness accepted his offer. "Thank you!" The keyblade wielder thanked

"Sora!" Louise exclaimed and was reluctant to accept the offer.

"Come on it probably won't be bad." The keyblade wielder said to his master who gave up. She sighed with Sora giving his gratitude "Thanks again for this, my name is Sora and this is Louise." He introduced themselves.

"My name is Scarron. And it's nice too meet you both." The transvestite gave his name.

"It's nice to meet you too Scarron and-."

"Up, up let me finish." Scarron said putting his index finger up stoping the keyblade wielder. "I'll let you both stay with no charge, however there is one condition~." Scarron told them as he was now pointing at Louise, who was confused why was he pointing at her and what is that he wants?

(Charming fairies inn)

"Good evening my darling fairies!" Scarron said posing in front of a bunch of girls, who were all wearing dresses that were revealing in certain areas all in different colors.

"Yes Mr.Scarron!" The girls said.

"NOOO~!" Scarron cried flailing his body. "I've told you girls over and over again. When in the store you are to call me Mi-Mademoiselle."

The girls soon corrected themselves "Yes, Mi-Mademoiselle!" Scarron trembled in pleasure at the mere sounds of that but it didn't seem to bother them they.

"Très bien! Now then, before we get started I would like you all to meet the youngest and newest member of our fairy family. Louise darling~ You can come out now." And just like that Louise came in front of everyone wearing the same kind of clothing as everyone else only difference is that her outfit was white she was also completely red with both anger and shyness this was the arrangement in order for them to stay rent-free they both had to work for him "Everyone, this is Louise, she's a young girl that ran away from with her younger brother just as her parents were about to sell them both off to cover a large debt." He said making a fake background with and the girls to believe.

"Oh my." One girl said

"How sad." Another one said as well soon all the girls bought the lie Scarron made.

Louise tried to put on a smile and greeting "H-Hello my-my Is Louise, nice to meet you." She says but she was still quite mad she is a noble.

In the back Sora was watching Louise try and keep control of herself otherwise she would have used her magic to blow up the store "Wow, she's upset." Sora observed with a nervous smile.

"What are you serious?" Sora looked as saw a girl with long black hair wearing a green dress that exposed a large portion of her chest, she was panicking with another girl beside her.

"Yeah, sorry." The other girl said

"*Sigh* what are we gonna now?" The dark haired girl said this was getting keybearer's attention.

"Hey." He asked "Is something up? The dark haired girl answered

"Our cook just quit, meaning we're down a chef for a while." The long haired girl said having her hands in her hips, wondering what to do when Sora spoke up with an idea in mind.

"Why don't I cook?" He said as the two girls were a little bit surprised.

"You cook?"

"Yeah. I help out at my friend's bistro all the time so, I know a few recipes." He said putting himself in his usual pose. The long haired girl was a little reluctant but decided to let him be the chef.

"And with that, problem solved. Now I'm going to get to work." The other girl told them as she walked away leaving the two by themselves.

"Thanks again."

"Don't mention it, just helping a friend is really all it is." Sora said

That made the dark haired girl surprised "Really we're friends." She said as the keyblade wielder told her so, she couldn't help but whisper a small noise "I guess she was right about you being friendly." The long dark haired girl said which made Sora confused, who was she talking about. "Nevermind, I'm Jessica. And you are?" The girl name Jessica introduced herself.

"Sora." He greeted with kind smile.

"Sora? That's a funny name." She told the brown haired teen puffed his cheek, his name isn't that weird is it.

"I know it sounds weird but it's not, it means sky where I'm from." He defended his name as Jessica smiled back.

"Alright then, Sora, feel free to ask me anything you want." She replied to the keyblade wielder who had a happy look on his face just a certain pink haired mage could see the two of them getting along quite well, although see was comically glaring at him first the maid, then the princess now this, this was just frustrating.

Scarron clapped "Alright, then it's time to get to business!" He said to his fairies except Louise who all replied.

"Yes! Mi-Mademoiselle!"

The tavern was bustling with people, Sora was whipping up dishes left and right and each looking delicious, Jessica watched him cook and she was rightly impressed when he said he could cook. As for Louise she was waiting and serving tables as best as she did but the customers kept commenting on her breasts calling her flat which only resulted in her pouring alcohol on their heads or violently attacking them not letting her noble pride be ruined.

Sora and Scarron rushed from what they were doing to calm down the fiery mage, both apologize for this Sora saying that his 'sister' is very prideful, he even bowed his head where as the man in charge of the store asked the two to get back to work and to let him deal with this, his people skills were good.

The restaurant was closed and Sora and his master were currently in their room... Well really it was just the attic and that only added more fuel to Louise's temper.

"I can't believe this! Me a mage and daughter of the aristocrat having to-I!" Sora patted her shoulders to calm her down.

"Hey, hey, come on it's not so bad." Sora assured.

"Not bad?!" Louise exclaimed "Look at this place, it nothing but a used shack!"

"I know it's not what you're used too but it's good, we got food, a place to sleep, and a way for us too make money, were like killing three heartless with one keyblade so we have to keep it up." He replied with his usual attitude but for Louise she could only groaned.

"Doesn't anything bother you?" Louise asked.

"It's called positive thinking you should try it sometime."

"Oh yeah, I bet you were really thinking about how much time you get to work with that girl." She lowly growled which made Sora tilt his head was she talking about Jessica, what does she have to do with this "Forget it. But really you don't expect me a dukes daughter to sleep here do you."

"I won't stop you from doing anything, whatever you decide it's your choice but I'm completely exhausted after today so I'm going to bed." Sora replied getting ready to lay down.

"I don't get it, how do you adapt so easily." She asked

But Sora only shrugged "I don't know, s'posed it just normal." Louise question what does he mean like that. "Well I can be a fast learner sometimes, when your always traveling like me you pick up a few things and besides, it's not that different from my life here." That was all he said as he quickly fell asleep Louise knew that once he fell asleep it was pointless to try anything, she got under the covers only to not fall asleep she could only watch Sora slumbering without a care.

" *Sigh* I'm wearing something so degenerative and your not even a little..." Her moment was soon interpreted when she heard the sound of squeaking, she found a group of bats that where hanging from the ceiling and without warning they swarmed all over her cause Louise to fall out of her bed. Not wanting to have some bats attacking her again she crawled to familiar and was lying next to him with a bright red expression.

This is so embarrassing she thought until.

"...Hmmm." Sora turned in his sleep and unconsciously was holding his master she was completely surprised by this.

"Hey! Wait! Sora-Hmmm!" She cried only for it to fall on deaf ears as Louise was completely immersed in Sora chest, she wanted to yell at him but couldn't break out, she forgot that he's stronger than he looks she was so embarrassed...but she didn't hate it rather she liked it. This warm embrace; the sound of his heart beating it was calming, she never felt like this before this air of serenity washed over her puting her to sleep still within her familiars arms.

(Second day)

"H-Here is your o-order." Louise uttered dropping the place of food on the customer's who angrily shouted at her; this only made her retaliate with her knocking him down, she wouldn't take being yelled at by a commoner her pride won't be mocked but Scarron came and put a stop to her temper asking her to serve another table as he apologized to the customer saying that she is new and doesn't know how this works.

Soon Louise was at another table with a slightly overweight customer who had a pervert smile on his face, he said to the pink-haired girl in white who was creeped out by this by saying that she is his type especially in the chest area, that comment was met with a hard and strong slap across the face. Scarron rushed to deescalate the situation but not before scolding Louise for this.

Meanwhile Sora was watching Louise getting lectured by the store owner. "Wow. Scarron is good with dealing with people." Sora comment taking a plate out of the oven

"Well, that's just how my papa is." Jessica said.

"Oh really." Sora soon realized what she said just now "What, papa?! You mean..."

"Yeah I'm his daughter." She told the keyblade wielder looked shell shocked at this revelation Jessica is Scarron's daughter?! "Haha I bet your thinking 'how can someone like me be related to someone like him' right?" She said with a little teasing manner. Sora told the showy-looking girl that wasn't it he was just surprised by the fact that he was a father "Yeah well after my mom died he said to me 'Jessica I'll always be their, both as your father and mother."

"I didn't know, sorry."

She shook it off "It's okay. I know he can be a little weird some days but he is a good father." She happily said as Sora soon started to think about his own parents how they must worried sick but he turned to the long haired girl who was preparing plates she was happy for having one parent and even if the other one wasn't there they were still with you in your heart.

"Well I can say that you have a good very dad. Slash mom." He told Jessica as she thanked him, to two soon began to laugh together, as for Louise she saw the two of them laughing together she didn't know why but something about this infuriated her.

"Do you have to get so chummy with everyone girl you meet!?" She grabbed a bottle from a empty table. Sora saw something out the corner of his eye he turned around and saw bottle being hurdles towards him he quickly evaded as it flew passed Jessica, finally crashing into a few boxes making aloud noise. Sora facepalm, Jessica casually grabbed a broom and dustpan while Scarron was apologizing for the noise, meanwhile Louise turned red for her foolishness why did she do that?

Louise was upstairs sitting on the bed completely down, she made a fool out of her again. Her depression continued as Sora came upstairs.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Go away." She said not wanting to see him.

"Come on don't be that, I brought you something to eat."

She still refuses "I said leave me, and I don't want any food from the common-." She stopped her ranting and took a few whiff "That smell, what is it?" She wondered as Sora was now up stairs completely with a plate in his hand.

"I made some Sole meunière, they had all the ingredients I needed." He said presenting the plate of fish to his master she took one bite and she was instantaneously amazed by how well it tasted.

"Th-This is-?!" Louise stopped her sentence and took another bite, her familiar was an amazing chef as well just what can't he do. Sora looked happy smiling brightly, seeing her enjoy his food plus he was wanting her to cheer up for what happened today although why did she throw a bottle?

"You like it?" Sora asked.

"It-It's delectable." Louise replied trying to hide back the fact she actually is enjoying it. He said to her, he wanted her to feel better soon he decided to whip up something for her granted he doesn't know her favorite dish but it was the idea that counts right. Louise was surprised when he said that he made it for her, even after throwing a bottle at him, he still treats her nicely, does he not now how to hold a grudge or hate a person?

"Well, I'm gonna head back downstairs to help clean. Be back in a sec." He said as he left Louise with her plate. She stopped and saw him leave before turning back to her meal, he is always so kind to everyone including her despite how she treats him maybe just once she can do something for him but what, wait a minute why was she thinking about that?

As for Sora he made it downstairs as saw Jessica holding her hand. "Hey Jessica, you alright?" Sora asked

"Yeah just nicked my hand a little bit after cleaning up the glass that your sister broke." She replied showing the small cut on her hand she said that she was going to clean it up but Sora looked at it wasn't really that bad just a small cure would do the trick.

"Here let me, Cure." He casted his healing spell to close the injury but for some reason it didn't. Now that was weird it should be close so why. Jessica soon smirked as Sora lowered his hand.

"So you really can do magic." She confirmed as she grabbed a handkerchief from her pocket a wipe it off when really it was just sauce that was on her hand. Sora was trick and what was even worse he forgot he was supposed to be undercover he was panicking trying to think of a excuse, to try and explain what just happened but she only laugh at the face he was making.

"Relax I knew who you were alright. Sie-Sie talks about you all the time, but I had to see for myself." Jessica replied to the boy who calmed down tad. But he was surprised she already knew him and who is this 'Sie-Sie'.

"Sie-Sie?"

(Jessica's room)

"Siesta's your cousin!?" Sora sitting on her bed was shocked by this reveal. But getting a better look at her the two actually look alike.

"Yeah." Jessica agreed also sitting "She comes by every so often, and when she does your the first person she talks about."

"Really?" He asked wondering what she said to her cousin about him. "Well, what did she say about me?"

Jessica began "That your the most selfless person she's ever know, you have a smile that brightens up a whole room, and honestly how care for the well-being of everyone around you. You practically are the most kind human out there in the world." Jessica finished. Sora was a little bit surprised that she would say all that, actually he was slightly flustered scratching his head nervously as the long haired girl laugh a little "But man, I thought Louise was the only magic user here guess not."

Sora stiffen "What?"

"She's a noble isn't she?" Jessica guess as Sora denied saying that their is no way a girl like her is upper class, but Jessica could see it written on his face as she began to list all the possiblity of why Louise is a noble. "She doesn't know how to carry a plate, she's got a lot of pride, and that high handedness she's got, of course she has to be an aristocrat."

"That obvious?" Sora said as Jessica nodded.

"Also, anyone can tell you guys aren't brother and sister. But don't look like your dating either, so are you her servant or what?" She was so smart it's scary. Sora couldn't believe she figured all that out knowing he couldn't figure out how to get out of this since she was right about everything he started to explain.

"No, I'm not her servant. I'm actually her familiar." Jessica was stunned a human familiar how is that possible? "And we're also on a mission."

"Oh~ is it dangerous, come on tell me! She asked in excitement.

"Sorry I can't." Sora said "Listen, you can't tell anyone about me and Louise, please you can't." The keyblade wielder pleaded hopefully agreeing to his request plus Louise would try to kill him for this screw up.

Jessica didn't know why he was pleading her for this but whatever this mission is, it must be important "Alright." She said leaving Sora a little bit surprised "I'll keep your secret, after all that's what friends are for right."

Sora said in glee "Thank you."

"But."

"But what?" Sora asked as she moved closer to him with a meaningful smile with a gentle look in her eyes, he saw the look she was giving him or rather he knew that same look in Kirche's eyes which caused him to back away slowly till he was at the edge of the bed. Jessica soon grabbed his hand and placed it onto her left breast, Sora was panicking internally as he could feel the softness and warm feeling of her chest. Wait a minute what was he thinking!

"Theirs something I want-from-you." She asked with a gentle look in her eyes. Although Sora wasn't sure what she wanted but he wasn't gonna like it.

"Wh-Wha-What! What do you want!?" He panicked hoping that she would let go of his hand. But a smile dawned her face, joyful she was as she told Sora her request.

Scarron clapped getting the girls attention "Alright everyone, it's time to announce that this week's tip race is here."

"Yes, Mi-Mademoiselle!" The girls said in enthusiasm clapping and cheering ran throughout the store, as for Louise she only confused.

"Tip race?" She said as Scarron continued his speech in a absorbed manner.

"Yes, the competition to see who earns the most tips by the end of the week. The winner will receive a bonus and not only that...They also had a chance to wear this." Scarron unveiled a pure black bustier "The very pride of the charming fairies inn, the enchanted fairy bustier." The girls look at it with a dreamy expression but Louise look a little intrigued what was so special about it. Scarron continued his speech while posing "This outfit is a family heirloom, not only that but it has a spell on it to charm people. So on the day you wear this bustier, you can make money with no limits."

"Make money with no limits!" Louise gasp.

"The last person who wore this was about to make enough to afford a trip back to her home, So everyone work hard for the chance to win this bustier." Scarron finished

"Yes, we will, Mi-Mademoiselle!"

"Très bien~. Alright time to get to work, you too Louise."

"Right!" Louise said in confidence if she could win that she would have to worry about money "This is my chance!" Determined to win with her fist in the air.

(One week later)

"*Sigh*" Louise was sulking "Today's the last day for this race, and so far I haven't made anything." She was right this whole week she tried her best but couldn't handle it she is a mage and she was forced to serve ordinary people, not to mention how everyone kept calling her 'small', and 'flat' non-stop are boobs all these people cared about. As the girls continued to earn tips the door open; who entered was a overweighted middle-aged man with a cat-fish like mustache, more then likely he seems to be a noble. The air went silent as Scarron rushed to his side.

"My, Lord Turenne. W-Welcome to the fairy inn." He greeted although slightly their was tremble in his voice.

The noble name Turenne smirk "Well now Scarron, I see this place is doing quite well today."

Scarron shook his head "No, no, no, we're just having one of those busy days is all. Usually the place is so dead even crickets don't make noises."

"Right now, I'm here as a customer. I don't need your excuses."

Scarron continued in a sorry manner. "Pardon me, but as you can see we're currently over capacity so we don't have a seat for you."

"Oh, really. Because from where I'm standing their is plenty of room." Turenne exaggerate as he snapped his fingers, the nobles behind him raised their wands. The customers all bolted out the door in fear, the store was now empty and the fat noble took a seat at an empty table laughing heartily "I see you were right when you said this place is always dead. Now then, who will serve her majesty's tax collector?"

Sora looked at the man with a glare as was Jessica. "Who is this guy?" Sora asked as Jessica answered

"That's Turenne, the tax collector who's in charge of the area. Anyone who is crazy enough to stand against or disobey him will get taxed heavily, so we got no choice but to listen to him." She said angrily Turenne shouted for someone to serve him wine "He touches us all he wants and doesn't even tip. Honestly, no one will serve him."

What is with everyone in this world, this abuse of power they have it just doesn't seem fair in the least, and they like to treat everyone else their bottom of the barrel, just because you can do something not that many people can do, it doesn't give you the right to treat them how ever you want. Sora was about to give him a piece of his mind until he saw Louise carrying a bottle of wine to him.

"Louise!" Jessica shouted, and Sora couldn't believe it, oh this is gonna go south fast.

Louise approached the tax collector, who was confused as he never saw this girl before "Who are you?" Suspicious he was.

Louise didn't reply as poured him his drink with a face smile "Have a n-nice day." She said although he didn't seem interested in Louise.

"Wow, this store must be really in trouble if their using children." Louise's eye twitch from that comment "Go away, I don't a child in my presence." He said as Louise was trying hard to keep up the act he face was twitching and she was holding onto her uniform tightly, Sora hoped she would just walk away from him.

"Just walk away Louise. Just walk away."

"Oh, now I see your not some kid, just a girl with small breasts." Turenne observed with a perverted look on his face. Louise started to shake in disgust as his hand slowly reached out to her "Let me see if their bigger then they look." That was the last straw, at that moment... his face met the bottom of Louise shoe. Everyone was scared straight at what she had done as Turenne toppled over.

"Why you, you little!" The tax collector angrily shouted as he flipped the table.

"Wait!" Scarron came to try to reason with him " Please forgive her, she's still new here." Unfortunately his plea went from one in and out the other.

"To kick a noble in the face...How dare you!" His forcefully grabbed onto Louise's shoulders ready to reprimand her but just before anything could happen Sora came out of nowhere and grabbed the fat nobleman wrist off of Louise.

"That's enough." Sora said

"Unhand at once boy, do you know who I am!" Turenne shouted

"Yeah. A big bully who likes to pick on everyone around him. And another thing, she brought you a drink and all you want do is complain." Sora told the overweight man who got even madder "And you should know, as long as I'm around, I won't let anyone lay so much a one finger on her!" That took Louise breath away the way this scene looked to be something out a novel where the protagonist stands up to evil noble who was ready to punish the girl he loved.

Jessica saw with a grin on her face, not to mention the fire in his eyes. Siesta was right about, you don't see people like him in this world, meanwhile Turenne wasn't even a little intimidated by him,

"Ha, what can you do exactly, your just a plebeian." He laughed at Sora as Turenne too his other hand off of Louise and pointed his other finger at him still laughing but Sora only said this to him.

"Well, check this out." He said twisted his body while still holding onto the nobleman's arm and in one swift motion, throw him across the restaurant like it was nothing. Scarron witnessed what happened as she shook to the ground in fear and not from Sora more so it was the fact that he is going out of business for this. As for Turenne he soon recovered his look turn to fear, just how-, how does a child have this have so much strength.

"Wha- monster. Your a monster!" He screamed.

"Now that plain rude." Sora commented with a dead expression as well as crossing his arms.

"What are you waiting for!" Turenne ordered his men "Arrest these two, I want them both hanged!" He shouted as his men surrounded Sora who had his a back at Louise in a protective manner but as they took another step.

"Blizzard." One of Turenne men were encased in ice. "Hey. This is pretty cool!" Jessica joked as her hand was out "Now how about this. Water." She summoned a ball of water sending it directly at mages sending them back, everyone in the store, expect for Sora was speechless at what they are witnessing, Jessica... Was using magic. "Hey Sora how's that." She said the spikey haired brunette.

"You're definitely cousins alright." Sora commented as Louise was confused I she thought Siesta and Sora were the only non-nobles in this world who are able to use magic... unless?

"Sora what's going on?" Louise asked.

"I'll explain, but for right now..." Sora said summoning his Divewing keyblade, as he did he brought his keyblade up on high in the are; as he did star's came up out from the ground, the rising stars stopped the teeth on the keyblade vanished and the wing on the handle retracted, now the keyblade had become a single edge one-handed sword. His outfit change from it normal design: his shoes went from yellow and black too red and white, his pants went from black to white with a black star on each pant leg. His shirt went from black too blue, his gauntlets turned blue as well, however his jacket kept it's red outline but the whole thing turned white; finally a shooting star was emblem on the back of his hoodie. The was Sora's new form-his star form and his new weapon, the shooting slasher. "...We're gonna rumble."

Turenne and his men couldn't believe their eyes, a girl using ice and water magic, and a boy who summoned a sword out of thin air the only thing come to mind was that that they were nobles but why? Nevermind that he still had a vendetta to settle. As the rest of this soldiers drew their sword and wands Sora and Jessica were standing together side-by-side ready to face them, the ones with sword came charging at Sora who countered by blocking each strike with his own, just now he quickly did a upward slash following with a horizontal slash; Two diagonal spinning slashes came soon after that finally to end his combo he did a horizontal lash following with a slight vertical cut ending with a overhead downward slash.

Jessica and the mages were in their own battle casting spells left and right while Sora was dealing with the swordsmen. Everyone outsider the fairy inn was curious as to what is going on inside, but inside the building the fighting was seaming too die down a little Jessica shot a fire ball at two of Turenne men sending them back as Sora dash forward doing a flipping slash sending them tumbling backwards to the fat nobleman everyone was speechless they were winning. "So, do you give up?" Sora teased pointing his shooting slasher at him as Lightning surged through Jessica's arm. His men asked in fear.

"S-Sir, what are we going to do?" One soldier said

"These two are powerful!" Another exclaimed but Turenne was not in the mood for excuses.

"They're just children, and even if they can use magic they must be fallen nobles!" Turenne shouted

"Actually. We're an exception to that kind of rule." Jessica corrected "To tell the truth we are just your run of the mill plebeians, but we know how to use magic." Now that had him flabbergasted non-nobles who can wield magic, that's unheard of, no it had to have been a lie. Their is no way simple commoners can be mages.

"D-Don't take me for a fool, that a couple of plebeians can use magic!" He barked at the two "I swear, I will have this place shut down and all you dead. Namely this brat and that washboard girl!" Suddenly a explosion came out of nowhere sending Turenne and his men back, Sora opened his eyes and saw Louise standing in front of them with her wand pointing at the tax collector.

"Washboard. That's a little much don't you think." She said in a calm yet angry tone in her voice "I went out of my way to serve to and give me attitude, why must I be subjugated to such harsh words."

"Where were you keeping that?" Sora questioned.

"I could ask where you store your keyblades, but unlike you it didn't appear in my hand." Louise replied raising her leg "I kept it strapped to my thigh if we ever ran into trouble." Turenne couldn't believe it three, their are three nobles in present why though. "Now then, if you value your life, you will leave immediately never show your face again."

"Please you all are ruined aristocrats. Who do you take me for!"

Sora spoke up "We told you, me and her we aren't nobles." The keyblade wielder smirked knowing how this might play out "Louise on the other hand, is one." He told him as his master reach into her back pocket; revealing the documents that were printed by the her Highness. Turenne, now trembling, bowing his whale sized body in front of Louise.

"...Who do you think you're calling a ruined mage?" All three watched him shake in fear

Turenne rummaged through his pocket pulling out his wallet; the other nobles did the same as him as he begged to forget about this "W-Wait take this and let's all forget the whole thing, please... I beg of you!"

Not caring about the money Louise said too them was to forget the event that happened here today, because next time she won't let him off so easy. Sora and Jessica followed up saying to never come back here again, otherwise Louise wouldn't be the only one dealing out punishment. Jessica with a large fireball in her palm and Sora with his sword over his shoulder glaring at him with rage in his eyes. Like a scared cat Turenne agreed to their condition and quickly be and his men bolted out the door with lightning speed.

Louise's sense of reason return to her as the sound of applause was happening. "Way to go Louise!"

"You sure showed that pervert!"

"Your amazing!" Louise was getting showered by compliments as Sora gave her a light pat on the back.

"You did great Louise. Be proud of yourself." She turned her face to the side muttering a small 'thank you' but not before putting her familiar in a choke hold.

"Did you tell her you idiot!" She yelled at Sora squeezing the life out of him.

"Wait, listen... Jessica already knew who we were!" He said but the pinked haired girl called him out for lying to her.

"Actually, he's telling the truth. I already knew about you two before hand." The dark haired girl said having her hands on her hips.

Louise was surprised how did she know "But how did..." She said letting go of Sora who answered her question

"She's Siesta's cousin. That's how she knows about us." The aristocrat was taken back by this reveal, their related Louise gazed at her before her eyes moved to her breast remembering how that maid has big breasts as well, so, they're related to one another huh. "She said she would keep our secret, in exchange she wanted me to teach her magic." That really was all their was to it. Louise however wasn't buying it, knowing him their must have been seduction involved. Sora turned his attention to The store owner "You knew too didn't you Scarron. About us?"

The store owner nodded "Yes, I knew about you two the second I saw you."

Louise didn't understand if he knew then why would he help them out. "Then why...?"

"Listen I make it a rule to always help those in need, plus here, we never ask a persons background here. So as far as it matters we heard nothing and saw nothing, right ladies."

"Right. We didn't hear or see a thing." They said together. Louise couldn't believe it they know now who she is now and they're choosing to accept her why? Sora said that it's just how it is: you earn peoples trust and they accept you no matter what, that's what making friends is about and right now she has made plenty friends today.

"I...Made friends."

"That's not all she's made." Jessica pointed out with all the bags of money "Look at all these tips. I think we know who's number one."

"But they all left that here?"

"They left it behind, so it's a tip." Jessica said turning to her father. "Right, papa?

"Oui." The owner agreed before announcing Louise as the winner of this weeks tip race everyone clapped for her achievement.

(The attic)

"Well I'm happy we were able to help. To bad we have to leave though." Sora whined on the bed he liked this place, the people here were so nice, but now that their cover is blown their gonna have to find somewhere else to stay. Of course though this time Sora was keeping in charge of the money, Louise wanted to speak against it but didn't say a word. Speaking of Louise she looked to be changing behind the closet door. "If your changing then let me-."

"N-No. Don't come any closer!" Louise said but the way she said it, it sounded like she was embarrassed about something.

"Wait, why are you shy now?" Sora was confused why is she embarrassed now and not like before. As soon as Louise finished changing Sora was shocked to say the least at what she was wearing now. " Huh, what the!? Is that... the charming fairy bustier!?" Sora with widen eyes said, why is she wearing that.

"I-I borrowed it because they let me. I-I mean... it would be a waste." She said although a part of her was lying really she wanted to wear it for Sora, just because he stood up for her; that was it, it's only natural for a master to reward her servant for a good job right.

"It it because of the spell?" Sora asked with a heavy blush on his face knowing their is no way she would wear that of her own accord.

"What...I went to the trouble of wear this... The least you can do is say something!"

She ordered as the keybearer only studdered "Okay...uh...um...well. It- you look...cute... I guess?"

"You guess!" Louise said upset and angry "I bet you would say otherwise if someone else was wearing this!"

"What? No! What do you take me-" Sora stop his speech when suddenly a imagine of Kairi appeared in his mind wearing the black fairy dress with a delightful smile. Sora was lost in his own work; blushing profusely as well with his face blank from any emotions. Louise crawled onto the bed and called him out saying he was thinking about someone, he soon snapped back to really with his face heated up saying that he wasn't thinking about anybody although why was he thinking about Kairi wearing that. Please after all this time, he hope he wasn't turning into some pervert.

Night fell and Fouquet was sitting in the corner of her prison cell. She couldn't believe it the staff was right in her hands and she lost it to that boy she was the most renowned criminal and she was defeated by a child and to make matter worse the staff of destruction was gone too. "I swear. He will pay!" As she was thinking about how to get her revenge a familiar black portal appeared and who step through it was the last person she wanted to meet.

"Now stop me if you heard this one before: their were two people, one in jail the other outside; one says to the other..."

"Are you just here to mock me Luxu?" Fouquet growled

"You call that a punch-line!" The keyblade master exclaimed.

"I'm not in the mood for humor."

Luxu regain his dark smile before continuing "No I guess not. But I did warn ya about underestimating the kid, now look a you." He continued to poke fun "You. Lost. Big time, pride before the downfall they say but no ya got to learn the hard way." He finished with a laugh much to her annoyance already.

"What do you want?" The green-haired woman barked. Luxu didn't say a word only to summoned the gazing eye, as he did so a beam of light came from the tip; unlocking her cell. Fouquet wasn't surprised by this given how Sora did the same, just what are these weapons anyway, she never heard about a sword in the shape of a key.

Luxu began "It's not me who wants something from you... it's him." He pointed to the dark corridor as a mysterious figure came out of it as he did he opened the once locked cell.

"Who are you? What business do you have this late?" She asked being on guard.

The mysterious figure could only say this "I'm here to pick up our value comrade. Fouquet of the crumbling dirt. Or rather... Matilda of Sachsen-Gotha." Fouquet started to sweat only one person knew that name.

"Are you..." Luxu grin grew darker having his eye on the dark keyblade inhis hand; knowing now that the strings of fate were being pulled at 'he' saw before? The question is: will it continue as it should be, or will a mistep happen throwing everything off course.

End.
