The meeting had long been over.They said to wait to deal with Morgana, because they didn't know where she was..But she could be doing something bad!Are they just going to wait for destruction?Oh, it made me mad. Rolling over in my sea sponge bed I swam to the door. I was going to stop her. And Now.

Riku's P.O.V

"Where's Lakura?""Nobody knows.We thought you would know Riku.""Oh, no. She's gone to go after her."Quickly I swam to the king."Permissionto leave the assigned boundaries.""Why is that?""Lakuras' gone and I have to go after her!""Oh?""Please!!""Alright, Alright! Calm down!"Having him sign a valid statement of approval, I swam to an obvious place.

*Earlier that day, sunken ship*

"Where does that tunnel go?" I asked curiously."To Ursala, and her evil sister,Morgana's lairs.""Should we go in?" I felt it would be neat."No!I would never go in such an evil place! And who knows what traps and evil magic still remain in the place. It sends shivers up my spine.""Ok,ok! We'll just leave."

*End*

Swimming in I saw alot flashing light and magic further in.I also saw and heard clanging steel."Lakura!"Swimming fast I stopped at the doorway, searching for any evidence of her being near."Lakura!"She was fine but I could see where she had been hit bydeadly magic. She had a severe burn on her shoulder and a cut on her tail, that looked green and infected.I saw her stab Morgana in the waist, then spin around to finish her, then kick her down a deep crevasse .Then I saw her cast an ancient spell to seal the crevasse but it did not look like her strength would keep it long.

But after that I saw her sink to the floor landing on her hands. I was right. Apparently it had taken a lot out of her, that spell, Especially with her injuries."LAKURA!"Quickly swimming over I put one hand on her good shoulder and the other on her stomach for support."Lakura are you ok?""..The spell..too powerful..too weak... losing health..Too powerful for me...never should've tried..Losing consciousness .."she said slipping out of consciousness.

" But Lakura!"What she said didn't make any sense to me. It sounded like a broken computer, that had just failed."Lakura.."It was no use.She was unconcious and not currently coming back.Quickly I swam her to the palace. Swimming faster than anyone, I pulled myself to go faster,My will burning like fire on logs.

Bursting in the room she stayed in,I laid her on the bed.Ripping through her bag I found a burn ointment but didn't know what to do for the cut She was oujt of bandage, and I was no healer.Ariel! She could heal!Locking and barring the door,I went to fetch her. "Ariel!It's urgent!Come quickly!""I'm coming!"Swimming her back, pulling her along, I showed her the problem."I can fix the cut but what about the burn?"I spun the burn ointment between my fingers.

I gently rubbed it on while Ariel healed.I could see her wince slightly, even though she was unconscious.Ariel had done her best.I saw Lakura shiver slightly.

End Riku's P.O.V.

"Riku?"I got up wincing slightly.The burn had a good ointment but it still hurt like hell.I cringed as I tried to move my tail."Curaga!" It really smarted,but wasn't as bad as last time.I had burns cuts bruises blood, it was really nasty. I cringed repeatedly."umm..."My aqua eyes went back and forth between Riku and Ariel."Am I missing something?"A smile spread on Riku's face. Maybe more of a smirk.But it was something.

"You're alright."I smiled." You don't think that could hurt me do you? It was weak."A smirk."That's what I like about you. You're so intelligent so powerful, so .. ..beautiful..."He moved closer to me and brushed the hair behind my ear. Slowly he leaned in and gently kissed me. I must've been bright pink.

Kinda shocked at first I didn't respond but when he was about to pull away I kissed him back.A bright light surrounded us. A blinding light. Like a scanner it scanned us slowly changing us. He placed his hands on my hips and I placed mine on his wrists.The light got brighter but we continued our kiss. I felt it would never end. I had waited so long for this moment. Love..

It slowly changed us. My red bikini like top changed to white and our tails changed too, an almost pure white.The kiss ended and so did the light.Ariel gasped."The light.." "Whoa." "The light of awakening.""The what?""The light of awakening."I repeated."My heart has awoken.But.."Ariel swam quickly to get the king. I still was in shock. How...why.. What..??!? Moments later...

"Lakura!! " said a booming voice.The king was in the room."Is it true?""Yes, But I don't understand ." End.
