hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii im back, yep its me with another chapter, it's a long chapter, but i managed to write it wen my internet crashed for a night bummer, but this is the end product :D

(Kaede- is going to be called by her nickname Kae, 'cos I'm to lazy to write the whole thing out :P) sorry if there ar mistakes heehee

Chapter 3 I know, theirs something different about you

"Welcome, welcome!" shouted the mad hatter to the 3 new arrivals, Kae went to sit in the chair that the mad hatter had pulled out for her, but before she could sit he pushed it in. She turned to the other 2 and gave a small-confused smile, then pulled out another chair and sat down. Both Lee and Si went to sit on either side of her.

"So what's up?" asked Kae

"The sky is up, and the Earth is down" replied the Hatter.

Kae giggled at the response. Lee casually lay back in his seat and placed his sword on the table, Kae give him a glance and mouthed to him to put it away, but he mouthed back "just in case", she let out a little huff and rolled her eyes. At this moment Si was mesmerised by the mouse that was drifting in and out of sleep in the tea, at the last minute he caught the mouse before he fell in and drowned, and placed him on the table.

"I feel tension in the air," said the Hare, they all turned to look at him. "not a good time,"

"Not a good time at all" butted in the hatter as he sat down

"What's not a good time?" questioned Si

"Can you not feel them growing, changing becoming stronger than before?" said the hare pointing at them with his teacup.

"The heartless?" said Kae

in a whispered voice "Yes they are coming, for that" side the hatter.

(Kae clutched at her necklace, the one her mother gave her, the one which could show her the heartless that were disguised as humans)

They didn't have time to decipher out what he meant by 'that', the heartless grew from under they're feet.

"RUN RUN AWAY" shouted the hatter, the hair scooped up the mouse and ran off with the hatter.

"Here we go again" said Si as he knocked his chair back.

Lee and Kae quickly stood up; Kae climbed on top of the table, and summoned the keyblade. They slashed at the heartless, knocking over the plates as they went aong the table. As Kae stood ontop of the table the trickmaster pushed it over, Kae fell backwards on the floor the plates crashed around her, she rolled to one side to dodge the one of them but another one struck her on her forehead, it gently bled, it wasn't to serious though.

"KAE you aright" shouted Lee over the top of the heartless.

"Yea I'm fine" replied Kae as she slowly stood up and resumed her stance. She glanced around to notice Si stood there motionless, surrounded by a shining silver veil, he was saying something, but Kae couldn't tell what it was. A heartless grabbed at her leg she instantly slashed at it. The next moment a great shining veil surrounded her, she touched it, and so did the heartless it was shocked automatically, but Kae was left unharmed.

Lee had managed to defeat all the small heart that surrounded him, and he went straight for the trickmaster, its long arms swooped down to hit him, he did a dodge roll and cut straight through its arm, (one arm down another to go) he thought to himself. He could feel a burst of energy at the thought of Kaede being harmed

"arrrhhhh" he shouted out then charged at the trickmaster. One straight hack through the centre on the heartless and he was gone. He turned to see Kae fighting off the heartless surrounded by a silver glow. He ran to her side

"You sure you okay?" he said as he stood at her side

"I'm fine honest, we've only got a couple left"

Si was stood at the far end of the garden, be had begun to fight,

"Fire" he shouted, a flame shot out from his had and set alight the heartless that were close by. He flipped over the heads of the heartless and slashed at them from behind.

As Si finished the final heartless off, he stood with his back to Lee and Kae. He grabbed at his chest, and fell to one knee.

Kae ran over to him hand placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Are you okay?"

His hair fell and covered his face, "I'll be fine," he said in a slightly unfine voice.

His tense body, relaxed and he lifted up his head; his hand was slightly shaking as he placed it over Kae's

"I'm fine now"

"o ookay, Si"

"Hay your cut" he said as he looked at her

She had forgotten about that, she felt at the blood and saw it plain on her hand, Si lifted up his hand and placed it over the wound "heal" he whispered, he smiled at her, at they helped each other stand. Lee walked over to them after scouting the area for more heartless.

"It's all clear" he said. He did not look them in the eye, he just turned so his back was to them and said

"We better head back to the ship, I think there won't be any heartless here, for awhile"

As they headed back to the ship in silence, Lee leading the way, and Si bringing up the rear, Kae fell back so that she could talk to Si.

"Ummm Si thanks"

"For what?"

"That protection spell"

"You knew what it was?"

"Yea I had to learn bout all them spells, but I can't produce them myself well not yet anyway, Merlin says that as I get stronger I will learn them,"

"It's fine," said Si, walking with his head down.

They entred the ship,

"I'm going for a rest" said Si, Lee ignored his comment and went to the bridge

"Okay, " said Kae, who also headed to the bridge.

"So where we off too" said Lee as he sat in the co pilots seat.

Kae went to sit in the pilot seat.

"Chip, Dale, where to next" she said into the com link.

"Traverse town, Merlin has something to talk to you about." said Dale

"Okay then Traverse Towns our next stop, we'll be there in a day or two"

Kae switched the ship into auto drive.

"I don't trust him" Said Lee out of nowhere.

"What?" said Kae a little taken aback

"There's something not right" he said standing up,

"Lee don't do anything funny. Promise me"

He looked her straight in the eye. "Okay"

"Ohh Lee here" said Kae as she chucked her necklace to him.

"What's this for"

"That's my mums necklace, she said that if you wear it that you can see the heartless that are in human form,"

"Thanks but won't you need it?"

she smiled at him, and giggled "my eyes can see it straight away"

"Ahhh, I just thought they were pretty to look at, I didn't know your eyes could see them sort of things" he placed it round his neck and walk out of the room smiling.

She listened to his foot sounds and heard him enter his room. She quietly stood up and left her cockpit, quietly she walked down the corridor, and knocked on the door to Si's room. AS she opened the door, she saw him hurriedly pushing something into the draw of his bedside table, he was now slowly placing his wrist band back on.

"Si" said Kae quietly

"Yea" he said not looking at her. She went to sit beside him on the bed

"I know, theirs something different about you, you're not telling me the whole truth about your back ground"

He stood up and walked to the other side of the room and looked out of the window.

"And what makes you say that"

"I can see, most things, that others can't"

he slowly turned to face her.

"And what is it that you see"

"Your name isn't Si is it?"

he stood there contemplating his answer, "Your half right,"

"Well are you going to tell me then?"

sigh

"Simon is my middle name, my first name is, Nicholas, and my last…." He trailed off

"Go on"

"…I'd rather not say"

"Fair enough"

"So what else is it that you know?" he asked her

"There is something, in you that is tormenting you, its like you heartless but not."

"hummm I see.. so hat do you think it is then? Do you think im dangerous?"

"Nope…. But it is in you… I'm sure of that"

he paused, then began

"When I was a child, I was arrogant and believe nothing could harm me, for I had great magic power for my age, and was unbeatable with a sword…. I ran away from my watcher, I hated being treated as inferior, well on this particular day the heartless had started to reappear on our world, I had only heard off other what they were like and I thought I could beat them all… I was wrong….. One of them as different to the others it was in human form but I couldn't see what it looked like it was dressed in a cloak this one was more intelligent than the rest… it watched as I defeated its army.. When it came for me to fight him…. I lost my footing and its hand slid inside me, the darkness began to consume me… as a result I got this scare and my eyes… I was lucky not to be completely turned… I was saved by my master who managed to get rid of it.. But I was sacred for life"

"Your eyes?"

"Yes" he looked up to her, so that she could see tem, she walked over to him to look at them better, the iris was brilliant red, with speckles of silver.

"I think…" he broke his gaze with her, she lifted his head up so that she could see tem again

"I think they are great" she smiled he smiled back." your not the only one with strange eyes"

"You?" he questioned

"Yep" she nodded

"But…"

"Watch," she changed her feelings inside and they showed through the different colours in her eyes.

"That's amazing"

She smiled again.

"I want to know what you were putting in the draw as I entered.

He slowly walked over to the draw.
