Hurky: Last time I updated this story, I got a flame.

Riku: So? You said you'd take mild flames.

Hurky: But I said that so that they wouldn't swear at me! This guy sweared at me and said my stories sucked! I almost cried! In fact, now I wanna...(starts crying loudly)

Sora: Don't worry, Hurky! I'll stand outside with this baseball bat and protect you! (picks up baseball bat and goes out the door)

Riku: Good luck with that. (stares at Hurky for a minute) Stop crying, Hurky!

(Hurky continues to cry)

Riku (sighs): How about a hug?

Hurky nods.

Riku gives Hurky a hug when Ryo came in.

Ryo: RIKU! Why are you hugging Hurky?

Riku: Because she was crying.

Ryo: She was? Well, how come you never hug me?

Riku: Because.

Ryo: But I'll always hug you! (hugs Riku)

Hurky: And so, I will not accept flames. If you don't like this story, just say, "I don't like the story, I'm not going to read it anymore." not "Do the world a favor and stop writing your shiot-ty stories." I thought I was ready to take on flames again...

Riku: Why do you say shiot?

Hurky: A substitute for the S word. Pronounced she-ott

Riku: Interesting...

Sora, Riku, and Namine were running really fast to get to Kairi and to stop Ansem. Sora realized that he ran pretty fast, since he's had his legs for only three days, and before, he never walked before.

"Why are we rushing?" asked Namine. "Sunset is only 8 hours from now!"

"But that still isn't a lot of time!" said Riku as he huffed and puffed.

Meanwhile, Ansem and Kairi were walking along the beach, holding hands.

"Who is that boy?" asked Ansem.

"What boy?" asked Kairi.

"That boy with the brown spiky hair who's been hanging around your house?" asked Ansem.

"Oh, that's Sora." replied Kairi. "He's my friend. That's all."

"Yeah, I've seen him around. How come he doesn't talk?" asked Ansem.

"His friend Riku said he was sick recently or something. Made him all silent." replied Kairi.

"So." said Ansem. "Wanna kiss?"

"Um, I'm not quite ready for that, yet." replied Kairi.

"KAIRI, DON'T KISS HIM!" called Riku.

Kairi turned and saw Sora, Riku, and Kairi, running up to her and Ansem.

"Um, I wasn't going to kiss him." said Kairi.

"Well, don't, because Ansem is really-" said Namine.

"No, don't say it!" cried Ansem.

Riku smirked. "A sea warlock." he said all cooly.

"NO!" cried Ansem. "That's not true!" he caught what he said and found something else to say, in a more calm manner. "Then prove that I'm a sea warlock."

Kairi just stared at him in total confusion.

Riku ran up to Ansem and snatched the clam shell necklace off of his neck. "This is not your real voice." he said.

"It is too my real voice!" said Ansem, no longer talking in Sora's voice, but his own.

"Ugh, he sounds horrible!" said Namine.

Riku turned to Kairi. "This is really Sora's voice." he said. Then, he dropped the shell on the sand and stepped on it with his shoe and crushed it. Kairi's eyes glowed red and she was off the spell. "What happened?" she asked.

"You were under Ansem's spell." replied Riku.

"Who's Ansem?" asked Kairi.

"A sea warlock." replied Riku. "I'll explain later."

He took his foot off the crushed shell and a yellow light came flying out and went to Sora, where it settled in his throat. Sora felt his voice coming back to him and he grinned.

"No, Riku." he said. "I'll explain it to Kairi."

Kairi, Riku, and Namine turned and saw that Sora was the one who said it.

"You got your voice back, THAT'S AWESOME!" said Riku.

Kairi smiled. "So, that's what you sound like." she said.

"Listen, Kairi." said Sora as he put his hands in his pockets. "I have to tell you something very important."

"Kairi, what Sora's trying to tell you is that he and Riku are mermen." said Namine for Sora.

"What?" asked Kairi. She looked at Sora and stared at him for a minute.

"Look, I know you're freaked out, but-" said Sora until Kairi cut him off.

"So, you're the one who really rescued me!" said Kairi. She threw her arms around Sora.

"You're not freaked out?" asked Sora.

"Of course not!" said Kairi as she let go of Sora. "I love you for who you are."

"Hey, I said the very same thing when I learned that Riku was a merman." said Namine.

"Sora, I love you." said Kairi.

"Love you too, Kairi." said Sora.

Ansem smirked. "Well, you're a little too late for a kiss!" he said.

Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Namine looked at the sky and saw that the sun had set.

"No way!" cried Riku. "The sea is totally screwed!"

Suddenly, Sora's legs turned back into his tail and he fell to the ground. Ansem turned into his true form and picked Sora up with one of his tentacles.

"Ew, he's a freak!" cried Namine.

"Who?" asked Riku.

"Ansem!" cried Namine.

"THE SEA IS MINE!" laughd Ansem. Then, he also grabbed Kairi and Ansem jumped into the ocean with Sora and Kairi.

"SORA!" cried Riku. "KAIRI!"

"Kairi's not a mermaid!" said Namine. "She'll drown!"

All she and Riku could do was just stare into the sea...
