Disclaimer – I don't own anything… sadly. I would like to own Axel, Sora, and Riku, oh and Xemnas…. Okay anyways my point is, I don't own anything or anybody. Squaresoft and Disney do. Lara Croft belongs to …. Enix? Yeah I think it's them anyways I don't own her either!
Author's Note – Don't worry Maddie, I won't put any spoilers in it. If I do, I will let you know. I promise
It has been two weeks since the final battle in Radiant Garden and Axel's injury. Sora and Kairi's relationship has been better then ever and Axel had finally recovered from his injury's. They had all rested the night before and woke up early only to be greeted by the King himself. He explained to them that they were now splitting up. They would reunite later on, but this needs to be brought on secretly in Port Royal.
"So are we staying here for now?" Leon had been rather gloomy; he was hoping to set sails just like the rest of them.
"Yes, some of you have to stay here and keep an eye on things. That's why I am only taking four or five of you." He stepped back for a minute and watched their face expressions.
"Wha?" Donald shouted outraged, "So we're not going!"
"Well, calm down Donald, there is a reason for the majesty's doing. We'll be able to go on the next trip." Goofy said sitting down on a nearby chair and smiling. Donald looked at him appalled, but realized that he was right and too sat down next to him.
"We're staying here your majesty." Donald said smiling also, "We'll make sure it's safe here."
"Thank you Donald, Goofy." Mickey said nodding to them.
"Well obviously I'm going." Sora said.
"And me, since we are keyblade holders." Riku added.
"I'm staying here." Merlin said approaching them.
"Welp, that means I'm staying too." Cid said taking out a cigarette but not lighting it.
Mickey nodded and waited to the rest of the decisions.
"Well I'm definitely coming since it IS my husband." Kairi stated firmly.
"Well that makes three; I guess one or two more." The King stated.
"We're staying." Tifa said from the back holding Cloud's shirt.
"Well, how about the rest of you?"
"I'm going!" Axel spoke up suddenly. He was weak but everyone knew that he would be able to handle it. He needed to get up and out, it was an understanding that he went.
"We'll stay too, we have to make sure that the boys behave." Aerith and Yuffie giggled together.
"Then who will watch the girls if I leave?" Leon smiled.
"So then it's settled?" Mickey said stepping up.
Everyone looked around and then finally nodded.
"We must leave at once." Mickey said walking out of the door.
Everyone said their goodbyes and gave their hugs. Promising that they would be back. After a teary goodbye King Mickey made everyone (who was going) follow him down to the gummi ship. After one final wave goodbye they all stepped into the gummi ship preparing to leave…..
The plan, is to be like pirates. Since it is bad luck to have a woman on board, Mickey decided Kairi would be playing as a man. They have to find out what was going on in Port Royal to decide on another plan. King Mickey brought them to the deck gave them all outfits and bid them farewell. When the time came they would all head back home.
Now they were all sitting on the beach. It was night time and distant music was playing in the background. They were exhausted. When Mickey left them they all got dressed and had to jump in the cold water to get to shore. He apologized profusely about this, but didn't want anyone to spot them. So they swam to shore where hardly anybody would notice them.
"We made it." Sora gasped spitting up salt water.
"Damn mouse making us swim." Axel grumbled inhaling deeply.
"I think that was fun, plus I feel sexy." Kairi giggled sitting up.
"Shut it wench." Riku teased but quickly rolled away from Kairi's fist.
"I wonder where Jack, Will, and Elizabeth are." Sora said sitting up too.
"Look I think that's Elizabeth…. You said what she looked like." Kairi said when Sora looked mildly surprised.
Sure enough it was Elizabeth; she was walking along the beach holding her dress careful to not let it get wet. She seemed to be looking for something because she kept walking along the rocks trying to get higher.
"Kairi?" Sora asked pulling Riku and Axel into some nearby bushes so Elizabeth wouldn't see.
"Yeah?" She turned around and saw them sinking into some bushes. She hurried after them and out of view.
"Kairi I think you had better go talk to her. But…. Wear this." Sora handed her a dress it was made of silk and embodied with designs even foreign to her. She gasped at it's beauty, it was a light blue and suited her eyes perfectly. "Make up a story of where you came from, remember, we are not here, and you live two different lives, keep them separate.
She nodded and ran to another bush where the guys couldn't see. After she was don pulling the dress one and undoing her hair she gave her pirate clothes to Sora. The boys marveled at her beauty.
"Wow, you look beautiful." Sora said looking at her.
"You sure do." Axel winked earning a punch from Sora.
"You look ravenous." Riku teased once more.
She smiled and stood up from the bushes. She brushed the sand off of her and ringed the water out of her hair; it fell down to her waist in wavy locks. She gasped at remembering her boots; she took them off and threw them at Sora then grabbed her 'right shoes'. She quickly ran up to where Elizabeth but took caution in being seen. Finally she was in view of her.
"Nice night out." Kairi called to the other girl.
She swirled around and saw that it was only a girl, same as she. She stepped off of the rocks and down into the sand.
"Very. How do you do? My name's Elizabeth, Elizabeth Swan."
"That's pretty, my name is Kairi. I'm… traveling… and I just had to have a look around, rather beautiful sight." She said trying to keep up her façade of innocence.
"I'm looking for someone." She randomly said looking out to ocean.
"May I help?" She stepped closer and looked out at ocean also.
"Someone very special to me has disappeared right now, I'm not sure where he went but-"
"Elizabeth!" Someone shouted.
Both girls swirled around towards the town and saw a man waving his hands widly in the air.
"Will! Come on Kairi that's him!" She cried and began running up the sandy slope as best as she could in heels and a dress.
Kairi followed suit and was rather skilled at running up the sandy slope living on a beach all her life served its purpose.
"Where have you been!" Elizabeth cried grabbing Will's hands in hers.
"I went for a walk, and I found someone, an old friend, come on! Wait... who's this?" he asked spotting the young red head.
"Oh this is Kairi, she's traveling. She was helping me look for you."
"How do you do?" He asked stepping up to her and kissed her hand smiling.
"Oh Will, such a romantic. Come on let's go see who you were talking about!" All three of them ran through the town, Kairi did her best to be sure to look around and follow them. Finally they stopped at a blacksmith shop.
Will opened the door and shushed the girls, he brought them over to a pile of hay and on it was a scraggly looking man with black eye liner, he looked hurt and weak laying on that pile of hay, His bandana covered the most of his head and over right next to him looked like his hat. He was a pirate.
"Jack!" Elizabeth cried out in surprise.
Jack opened his eyes in surprise also. It was obvious that he didn't know where he was. He sat up and looked around waiting for his eye sight to get into focus.
Kairi tilted her head slightly, she felt guilty for saying this but this man was rather, sexy.
"Young William Turner, to what pleasure do I owe you?" He slurred.
Will smiled and leaned down to care for Jack, "Jack, how have you been?"
"What happened Jack?" Elizabeth said leaning down also.
"Who's that bird?" Jack said standing up. He was swaying.
"Me? Oh! Um I'm Kairi." She smiled nodded her head.
"A red head, my favorite. What say you to a ride on my ship?" Captain Jack Sparrow winked. Kairi blushed.
Elizabeth smacked him and apologized to Kairi. Jack just simply laughed and walked off of the hay pile. He picked up his hat and put it on. Then he turned around swaying slightly and picked up a jug of water, which he greedily drank down.
"Jack? What happened?" Will said coming behind him.
"Something bloody took my ship. It threw me and my crew overboard. I don't know what happened to them." He sat down in a nearby chair with his head in his hands.
Kairi wondered if what he was talking about was…. "What do you mean by something?" She asked stepping closer.
Jack looked up and raised an eyebrow. "Aye love, something."
"Were they … kind of like … creatures? Monsters?" As soon as she said it she wished she hadn't. Captain Jack Sparrow was a pirate, and not someone to mess with or to play games with. His sword was out and pointed towards her neck as soon as she spoke the words.
Elizabeth and Will gasped in surprise and stood there rooted to the spot.
"Jack!" Will shouted standing still.
"Who are you?" Jack spat.
"I know people who can stop these creatures."
Jack pulled his sword away and looked at her with curiosity. "Do you now? Let's meet them in the morning." He placed his sword firmly back where it belongs and walked out of the small black smith shop.
"Where is he going?" Kairi asked Elizabeth.
"I'm not sure, but let's get you back to my house and into some warm clothes. Are you staying anywhere?" She asked.
"No, I haven't found a place yet."
"Come on! My father is gone for the weekend… in fact…" She ran out of the house and called Jack's name.
"What do you want love?" He called back. Somehow he found a bottle of rum.
"Would you like a warm place to stay tonight?" She asked. Will gasped next to her. Obviously he didn't like this idea.
Jack swayed closer to her and smiled. "I would."
Elizabeth smiled, Kairi giggled, and Will grumbled something.
Elizabeth turned around and smiled at Will, "Would you like a place to stay for the night also Mr. Turner?" She teased.
Will laughed and nodded also.
Elizabeth grabbed hold of Will's arm and pulled him up towards where she lived. Jack looked at the two and shrugged looking at Kairi.
"I'm sorry about earlier."
"It's okay, no harm done." She smiled.
Jack smiled too and looked up towards the sky. He took a swig of his rum and began his journey up the slope where Elizabeth and Will were.
Everyone finally made it to Elizabeth's house. It seemed like everyone had gone straight to bed after Elizabeth had shown everyone around. But Kairi could not sleep. She kept tossing and turning. And how anyone could sleep in these…. Is this a nightgown? Looked and felt more like a dress to her. She pushed her sheets off and sat up. There was a small light coming from down stairs. She guessed it must be some left on candles.
She wondered how Sora and the others were doing. Slowly and quietly she walked down the stairs and into the foyer. There was a man sitting in a chair. His boots were hanging off of the side. That was all she could see, was his boots.
She snuck around and quietly got in front of the person. It was Captain Jack Sparrow. His name had a good ring to it. And why did he have to look so sexy in black eye liner and so scraggy?
"What's a girl like you doing up so late?" He asked breaking her out of her reverie.
"I um… I couldn't sleep." She said sitting on the small settee.
He put his book down and looked at her. "You're not from here are you."
"No… I'm a traveler." She lied. But somehow she knew he was talking about in general.
"You spoke of knowing people who can get rid of these creatures? Do you know who these creatures are?" He asked.
"I think… they are called heartless and nobodies."
"Exactly. I've seen them before, and only once before. A boy about six or seven years ago helped me defeat them. and if that is the same boy you know then his help is always welcome."
"You know Sora?" She gasped sitting back.
Jack smiled and nodded. "What say you to letting me see Sora in the morning?"
All she could do was nod.
On the beach
Sora, Riku, and Axel all lay on the sand on a blanket they had rolled up in their gear.
"Do you think she's alright?" Sora asked looking up at the clear sky.
"Of course. She's a feisty red head who surpassed all odds against Organization 13." Axel said starting to fall asleep.
"And she beats us at like every thing we throw at her Sora." Riku added.
"Well I guess I can sleep better knowing she will be fine." Sora said sighing and finally allowing himself some rest until tomorrow morning. "I sure hope Jack is okay. It was fun being a pirate last time…."
Hope everyone enjoyed! Please review and have a nice night!
