Chapter 7 – Meeting Old Friends
A/N – Here is chapter 7. It has taken me too long to update. I know but I've been busy getting ready to go back to school and I wish I could get more time but school is starting on Tuesday and I still haven't gotten all my stuff and then when school starts I'm hardly going to be able to update with all the homework but I wanna say that I would rather write this story then do homework but I'm trying to get into a school for arts and I need good grades to get in. So here is Chapter 7.
Jiann was laughing with the other islanders. It was a group of 5 that were all between through ages of 15 and 21. They were nice and welcomed him into there group almost instantly. He told them about how his world was destroyed; he talked about his sister and how much he missed her. It felt good to confide in some people about his problems, especially when some of them had gone through the same thing. The girl he saw on his first day, Maeve was her name had lost her parents and little sister and brother when the heartless attacked her world. She really showed empathy for him. Especially when he talked about his sister. When the sun started to set they all had to go home. He had spent last two nights sleeping at the islands but tonight he was going to sleep at Kairi's house. On the way back they talked, Kairi explained more about Riku and Sora. He was silent while she talked; the only time he looked up at her is when she told him about Sora releasing her heart. After finishing her story, Jiann looked out to sea as if expecting to see his sister float over to the boat. Once they reached shore Kairi thought aloud
"You know what would be cool, if Nell was with Sora right now. Like I found you, Sora found Nell." Not knowing what she said was true she continued "He would be able to take care of her and Sora would help bring her home,"
"Ya it would be, if they are I bet he would take care of her." Jiann answered, even though the chance of them meeting was slim, he was still glad knowing that out there someone might be able to take care of his sister.

Nell looked up at their visitors. One was tall and the other was short, both were wearing the Unknown cloak that Aerith had warned them about the previous night. Both had there hoods up so she could not see their face. She instantly summoned blazing hearts and got into battle stance waiting for their first move. Sora also summoned his Kingdom Key but did not move into battle stance. He stood their staring at the short one. Nell wondered what Sora was doing when she ran at the taller one. Out of nowhere he took out a sword and blocked her attack. She backed away amazed at how quickly he had defended himself. As Nell readied herself for the next attack he threw of his hood. She saw a boy about a year older with platinum blonde hair and a blindfold on. She wondered how he had defended himself with a blindfold on but her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a cry from behind her,
"Riku!" yelled Sora. Nell relaxed a bit; she recognised that name from somewhere. Then she realized that he was one of Sora's friends, the one who fell into darkness.
The short unknown also removed his hood, "Mickey!" yelled Sora again. She also remembered that name from Sora's stories, he was a king somewhere and he was trapped in Kingdom Hearts when Sora closed the door. Sora ran to both of them eager to here how they got out. Nell walked over to them; she looked at Sora he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Sora?" said the taller boy.
"Riku, how did you get out? Why didn't you come sooner? Do you know anything about the heartless? Why are you dressed like an unknown" asked Sora looking worried.
"Inside Sora there is a lot to tell you."
Mickey told a lot of the story. Riku spoke up once or twice but he was quiet for most of the conversation. Nell kept stealing glances at Riku. She wanted to know more about Riku and she didn't know why. Sora told the story about finding her and about her being Mistress of all Hearts. Mickey seemed very interested about that. When Nell asked why he told her that the Organization that they had supposedly joined wanted her and that is why they were in Traverse Town. The Organization said that she held great power in her heart and that they needed that power to take over the worlds. Mickey also told them about how the heartless got out.
"At least you got out when the door opened." Said Sora trying to look happy when he was really worried about the Organization and Nell.
"I'd rather be inside Kingdom Hearts with all the heartless still trapped then out here with the Heartless free," Riku said simply but Nell knew there was expression and self-sacrifice in his tone.
"Since we haven't returned yet the organization will figure out we either failed or we lied to them. Soon they will send more heartless and members to try and kidnap Nell. We have to get out of here quick." Said Mickey, "if we want to keep Nell safe,"
"We were about to leave for the coliseum when you came. Let's go," They all left the house taking the fastest way possible to get to the Gummi Docks.
Nell knew that they were trying to keep her safe but she felt uncomfortable that she had three people making sure she was safe when she was capable of getting rid of tons of heartless without breaking a sweat. Sora had instantly summoned Kingdom Key once they left the house and stood in front of Nell keeping a close eye on her. Mickey and Riku were behind her. Mickey had a serious look on his face and Riku looked emotionless.
They finally got to the docks and found the ship that Aerith had talked about. Mickey got in and started it. Nell followed him and looked around the gummi ship. It looked a lot bigger inside than outside. There were 3 doors leading out of the main room where they controlled the ship. One room was a dining room and kitchen where they could eat. Another room was a bedroom with about 6 beds, 3 on each side, divided by a curtain. The last door led to a washroom. Sora came on after her and pointed at a seat behind the driver.
"You can sit their", She sat down, Sora went in front with Mickey and Riku sat beside her. She heard the roar of the engine and felt the ship go up and in a blink of the eye. She couldn't see Traverse Town anymore. The only place she had felt like she was home was gone and not knowing if she would ever return.
A/N – Well hoped you enjoyed that chapter. I'm not sure if a Gummi Ship is actually like that but I'll need it that way for other chapters. I don't have much to say about the chapter except please R&R and if you want to e-mail me you can always reach me at I also got braces yesterday so my mouth is in horrible pain and I can't chew so I'm swallowing all my food which makes eating a chore anyway you probably don't care about my dental hygiene and if you do that kinda creeps me out since I've probably never met you. Anyway R&R ByeBye.
