Chapter: 6

"Passing through the ports to the next world, is not as hard as it is complicated." Mimi spoke as she led the way.
Sora had been flying all morning with Kairi in his arms. And though the muscles in his shoulders, he didn't even know he had, were aching horribly; there was a strange feeling in his stomach. He felt warmed by Kairi's small body, and he had a great urge to never let her go.
"Do I need to wake Kairi up to pass through?" Sora asked. Kairi had fallen asleep about an hour ago. She seemed like she hadn't slept in ages. Her body was completely relaxed and had a small smile on her face.
"No, as long as you hold onto her tight." Mimi smiled at Sora's blush and then braced herself. "Get ready."
Sora was slightly confused. All that was ahead of him was the bright blue sky. He felt a weird tingling pass through him, and he had the awkward feeling that something was there.
A few seconds of flying forward and suddenly there was a bright flash. It seemed to take an eternity and a second all at the same time.
"Stay strong! If you don't have a strong will, the port won't let you through! Think of light or the darkness that lurks in the gates will consume you!" Mimi shouted over the strange hum that was feeling his ears.
Okay. Think of light. Safety.
He held Kairi close to him and his wings felt extra strain. His senses pringled with a weird essence and the bright blue clouded to black and gray. He felt something hit him hard in his stomach and his wings flashed once then completely disappeared.
"Sora!" He heard Mimi's distant voice shout from above.
He tried to get his wings to come back but he was falling faster and faster.
"Sora?" Mumbled a voice into his chest.
"Kairi."
"We're falling." She said frightened and tightened her hold on him. "Sora?"
"Kairi. Don't be scared. I'm sure we'll be alright." Sora tried to keep his voice strong, as the fell even faster.
"I love you Sora."
A bright flash of white light caused Sora to squeeze his eyes shut. And the air was knocked out of him. All he could think was that Kairi was in his arms and that he couldn't let her die. He didn't think of his own safety, just as long as Kairi was safe. "I love you too, Kairi."
"Sora!" A cheerful voice called. He jerked and his eyes opened wide. Mimi was floating in front of him, and the blue sky was behind her. What happened?
"Am I dead?" Sora asked confused. His wings were gently flapping on his back, Kairi was still asleep in his arms and the sky was once again blue.
"No, of course not." Mimi laughed at him. "You did well! The darkness was close to consuming you for a second when we passed through the port, but at the last second, light filled your heart. It's kind of hard to explain, but whatever was happening in Limbo must have been full of light."
"Limbo?"
"The dimension between one world to the next. It's full of the Heartless that were not destroyed. They can't travel and they can't return to Kingdom Hearts, because their power is no longer." Mimi explained and they continued flying.
"If Kingdom Hearts is where light resides, why are the Heartless generated inside it?"
"You probably can answer that question more than I can. I only know the little that Jiro told me. Sorry." Mimi smiled at him. "I was consumed my first time when passing through Limbo. I guess great things can be expected from the Master of the Keyblades."
"Master of the Keyblades, what does that mean?"
"Like I said before, there are seven total keyblades that can be found throughout the universe. Five of them specialize in one of each of the senses. Sight, touch, taste, sound, and smell. Their senses help them detect evil and things to come. Then, there is the Master of the Keyblades, who is equal in all the senses. He, or you, are the most sensitive to Darkness. Meaning you can both stay the farthest away, and come the closest to come consumed forever."
"Are you sure it's me? I mean, it seems really big, and I don't think I'm that great." Sora said unsure.
"It's you." Mimi smiled. "Jiro is the Sight Keybladist. He lent me some of his powers to complete the mission, and since he has sight, that is why I can see the door to Limbo and other worlds. He knows it is you, as do the other Keybladist."
"What about the seventh Keybladist?"
"The Seventh Keybladist is completely Darkness." Mimi lost her smile and she frowned. "It is said that everybody has some good in them, but the Dark Keybladist has none. Even those who are strong believers that not everyone is bad, have changed their minds about him. But still, we will need to find him in order to return peace in the worlds."
Sora sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Where are we now?"
"This is Twilight Town." Mimi smiled. "This is one of the Main worlds. There a few Main worlds that have ports connected to all worlds. Twilight Town, Traverse Town, and Dawn City are a few that I know of as of now."
(Author's Note- IMPORTANT There is a lot of stuff in the small trailers and Another Story things, that I can't explain. Because I don't want to make all these guesses and then have the actual game come out and my stuff be completely wrong. Then it might confuse you. So I'm only uses small facts about the trailers.)
"And we're going to Jiro, right?" Sora asked and Mimi nodded. "What is that place called?"
"Galled Wake." (Pronounce it however you want. -)
"That's a weird name." Kairi mumbled, the last bit of sleep wearing off.
"You're awake." Mimi smiled. "We have to stop here for a while so I can stock up on supplies. By night time we should be ready to leave for Galled."
Sora and Mimi landed on a small dock that was next to the small ocean. Sora looked up at Twilight Town.
It was a sight.
It seemed the city was of pure gold. A huge clock tower was in the middle of the place. And it had two large bells on either side of it. In the distance a few mountains could be seen and below was some sort of gate that looked to be the entrance of the city.
"Will you two be okay by yourselves? I have to meet and greet a few people and buy a few items." Mimi asked them.
"We should be fine." Sora said and she nodded.
"Meet me at the hotel in about seven hours. I have money for a couple of rooms. It's alright that we share one, okay Kairi?"
"Sure." Kairi smiled at her.
"Okay. Stay out of trouble you two." Mimi joked.
"It'll be hard to resist." Kairi joked back and then Mimi smiled and took flight once again. "Are you going to walk around with your wings?"
"Um, I'm not sure how to get rid of them." Sora said sheepishly. Kairi laughed and took a closer look at the white produce of feathers that were residing in his shoulder blades.
"Have you tried a chant?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know like...
Thank you wings, your use was used.
Come back again, when I ask you."
"You think that will work?" Sora asked.
"No hurt in trying." Kairi smiled.
Sora repeated the chant and nothing happened. "Well, I guess I'll have to walk around with them."
"People are going to think they are seeing things." Kairi walked toward the entrance clock tower.
"Maybe they're used to Mimi and her wings." Sora suggested and Kairi looked thoughtful.
"Perhaps. So what do you want to do?"
"We can check out the town, we haven't much else to do."
"Sounds good." Kairi was walking ahead of him looking around when suddenly she yelped. "Sora!" She fell through an open sewer hole and Sora caught her hand just in time.
"You okay?" Sora asked.
"Yes." Kairi said then started laughing. All of a sudden Kairi's laughter abruptly stopped as something tugged hard on her leg. Sora and Kairi's eyes widened at the same time.
"Don't move Kairi."
"Something has got my foot." Kairi whispered.
"It's a Heartless. I'm going to pull you up real fast, so when I say, kick it." Sora said and Kairi nodded.
She kicked it fast and Sora pulled her up and she fell on him. He was on his back, and Kairi was lying on top of him. Sora's wings suddenly disappeared and with that obstacle out of the way, Sora fell further to the floor.
"Ouch." They both said at the same time and then they laughed nervously. Kairi rolled off of him, so she was lying next to him. She sat up and looked at her ankle, where the Heartless' hand had grasped. It was a bright red handprint, with traces of black and it had burned a small part of her shoe, as if its hand was acid.
"That's not very safe." Sora said examining the pothole that Kairi had fallen through moments ago. He squinted into the dark space, looking for any movement. The cover which was lying next to it, was beaten up like someone had run over it a couple times. He covered the hole then looked at Kairi.
"It was a Heartless? Do you mean those black little shadow things that you once turned into?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah. Are you okay?" He rushed over when she slightly cringed when she tried to stand. "Don't move." He commanded and pulled one of her arms over his shoulder then wrapped one of his arms around her waist. "Let's go find some shops to buy some medication."
Kairi blushed at their contact, even though she had been sleeping in his arms all day. She would never get tired of his warmth. "We don't have any money. I'm sure I'll be fine."
"I have money." Sora mumbled.
"Huh? When did you get money?"
"My journey. When the Heartless robbed people of their hearts, they also robbed them of items and gold." Sora explained as they awkwardly hobbled to the entrance. "I tried to give it to the people of the towns, but they would never take it, and a few of it is gifts from people."
"You don't mind using it on me?"
"Of course not. You're hurt."
They entered through the huge double doors and no one even glanced up to see the visitors. Sora and Kairi looked around and saw a big building, whose doors were wide open and walked in. Sure enough, it was a general store.
"Can I help you?" An old-aged man cheerfully asked them.
"One potion and bandages." Sora responded.
"75 munny." The man asked. (A/N- I don't remember if that amount is reasonable or not.) Sora paid for it then took Kairi outside to sit on a bench.
"Hand me your foot." Sora said and she laid his foot on his lap. He pulled off her shoe and took a closer look at the mark. "You're going to have a lot of handprints at the end of the journey." And Kairi laughed.
He held her foot away from him and poured half of the potion on the wound. It chilled lightly but didn't hurt anymore. He brought her foot back to his lap and started bandaging it slowly.
"Drink the rest of this." He instructed and handed her the half-full (or half-empty. LOL. Which ever kind of person you are.) bottle of potion. Kairi nodded and drank the rest in six big gulps.
"That tastes...weird..." Kairi said and her face took on disgust. Sora laughed and finished bandaging her wound.
"Ok, you okay now?" Sora asked and gently lifted her foot off his lap.
"I'm fine now. I don't feel it." Kairi assured him and she slowly got up. Sora replaced their arms and helped her walk.
"How bout we go see the clock tower since we can't walk around town." Sora said a few moments later when they were in front of the tower.
"Sounds good. Hey, I just noticed, your wings! They're gone!" Kairi said.
"They disappeared when you fell on me." They both blushed at how embarrassing that sounded. "I don't now why, they just did. We should ask Mimi when we see her."
"Yeah." Kairi said. "You don't think, I like...crushed them do you?" Kairi asked worried.
Sora laughed. "I doubt it. It didn't hurt at all." He decided to tease her since she was so worried. "You might have because your so heavy, you probably knocked right back to where they came from."
"Do you really think so?" Kairi asked really worried now. Sora tried his best not to laugh. "Hey! Wait a minute, you think I'm fat?"
"I don't know where the fat is, but you sure are heavy." Sora said taking it a little too far.
"I didn't know I was fat, someone should have told me." Kairi looked away from his gaze. 'I can't believe no one told me I was fat! How embarrassing to hear it from Sora. He must think I'm such a loser.' She thought to herself.
"Hey, Kairi I'm just kidding. You're the smallest seventeen year-old I know." Sora said trying to get her to look at him.
"I'm the only seventeen year-old you know." Kairi mumbled. (Rikku, Selphie, and the other girls are 18. Kairi's b-day is soon! I'll probably put that has a chapter...)
"Okay, let me rephrase that; You're the smallest teenager I know. Seriously Kairi. You're not fat!" Sora laughed.
"You're just saying that because you don't want to hurt my feelings." Kairi muttered.
"You don't believe me?" Sora looked around and saw a few people in the clock tower room they had walked to. "Hey! Everybody!"
"What are you doing?!" Kairi whispered and blushed. The six people who were in there looked at Sora.
"Is this girl next to me fat?" He called out. Kairi blushed an even brighter red and tried to hit Sora. "Is she? Tell us the truth."
A few people shook their head 'no' and a couple said 'are you kidding me?!'.
"Sora!" Kairi punched him lightly in the arm. "We can't stay here now, that was so embarrassing!"
"You said you didn't believe me." Sora said innocently then smiled. Kairi couldn't help but smile back.
"Don't be a jerk." Kairi said smiling.
"Me?" Sora asked looking appalled.
Author's Note- Awww. I'm doing a lot of fluff lately aren't I? Aw well, you can't tell me you don't like it! Well, you can...but there is only one way to do so. It called the blue button at the bottom and it says Submit Review. So please do so!! Thanks!
