We'll Meet Again
Chapter 7
"Riku! Sora! Come on you two, wake up!"
Jane had been trying to wake the two for fifteen minutes, but they were just too heavy of sleepers. Jane sighed. She wondered how she could get the two up. She then had an idea and whispered it into Tarzan's ear.Tarzan walked up to them, inhaled, and shouted louder than he ever had before. The two immediately woke up.
"It's about time!" said Jane. "Get up! I've made breakfast for you both."
After breakfast, Riku and Sora just relaxed with Jane. They were bored out of their minds. Nobody had spoken until Sora noticed the worried look on Jane's face.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Well," Jane finally spoke. "this man who was with me here, Mr. Clayton, has been gone for two days now. What I'm worried about is that he might be off hunting gorillas. He never seemed to like them. I came here to study them, but all he ever does while I'm studying them is carry his gun around all day, prepared to shoot anything that comes his way."
"How about we find him?" Riku suggested. "We got nothing better to do, so we'll help you out."
Jane smiled. "Oh thank you. Let Tarzan go with you. He knows the jungle quite well. He can probably help you out."
For hours they searched and still no sign of Clayton. They had looked all over the place, and had no luck whatsoever. However, they had been running into many heartless since their search began.
"I'll check over here." said Sora, heading in a different direction. Once he headed over there, he regretted it. There was Kairi once more. She was sitting next to the jaguar that had attempted to attack him before. However, the jaguar had a knife stuck in his side and was dead. Kairi pulled the knife out of the jaguar.
"Look at how beautfiful its blood is." she said, standing up. "Don't you think so, Sora? It's a pretty dark red color. Wanna touch it?"
Sora backed away. "Stay back, Kairi!"
"Come on! See? I'm touching it. Nothing's happening. Touch it already! I killed this animal to admire its blood. NOW ADMIRE IT WITH ME!"
"Kairi, stop!"
Kairi began to laugh menacingly. Sora had never been so frightened in his life.
"Hey Sora!" he heard Riku call to him. Sora turned his head to see Riku walking toward him. When he turned his head back to look at Kairi, she was gone.
There's no way I could possibly be going crazy. Sora thought. It seems to me like she's haunting me. Kairi, if you really are dead, forgive me. If you're not, I'll find you, wherever you are. I just hope she can find it in her to forgive me...for not liking her back...
"Did you kill this thing?" Riku pointed to Sabor, the jaguar. "Looks like someone stuck a knife into it."
"Well I don't have a knife." said Sora. "It couldn't have been me."
Wait a minute! Sora realized something. If he can see the mark where Kairi killed the jaguar, then it really is her! I'm not crazy! Does this mean...she's alive then? But how can she be appearing everywhere I am?
"EARTH TO SORA!" Riku said, waving his hand in front of Sora's face.
Huh? What?"
"Stop zoning out. We got a gorilla-hunter to find."
"Right. Sorry."
They had one place left to search: The treehouse. If he was not there, then there was no other place he could possibly be. They headed to the treehouse, and to their surprise, they found a man about to shoot an innocent gorilla. Tarzan let out a loud yell that surprised the man.
"Oh, Tarzan!" he said. "I...I wasn't aiming for the gorilla. There was a snake near it and I was trying to stop it! Heh...heh...oh I see you...have some new friends..."
"Clayton..."said Tarzan. "Clayton...harm gorillas."
"Ok, so maybe I am." he said giving a sinister grin. "But I've also decided to join the heartless. With them, we will destroy this jungle and all of these obnoxious gorillas!" He ran ahead of them and jumped below into the trees.
Tarzan immediately ran after him. Sora and Riku followed. They saw Tarzan begin to slide down on the treebranches.
"Well, at least now you can experience sliding down on the branches." Sora said to Riku. Riku smiled at him. Afterwards, they both slid down following Tarzan. It was true that it was fun. Riku had enjoyed it so much.
"You were right." he said to Sora. Sora was glad he finally had the chance to enjoy it with Riku. Shortly afterwards, it had ended, and they went back to looking for the one known as Clayton.
Eventually, they caught up with him. Clayton had reached a dead end. It wasn't over for him though. Suddenly, they heard a loud "thud" sound, but they couldn't see what caused it. It seemed like Clayton was then sitting in mid air; however, he was actually ontop of a giant, invisible heartless.
"Now what?" said Sora, taking out his weapon.
"Well he's obviously riding on top of something." said Riku. "So we'll just have to attack it."
It had been a difficult fight. Especially since they could hardly see the enemy they were attacking. Towards the end, they creature became visbile. It was a giant lizard-type heartless. At last, it had been defeated and so had Clayton.
Later on, they had headed back to Jane to assure her everything was all right now.
"Oh thank you so much!" she said. "Now the gorillas don't have to worry about that horrible man trying to harm them. I find it a shame that he decided to join the heartless though."
"Well, we're glad we could help and all, but we need to get going." said Riku. "It was nice meeting you both."
"We'll miss you!" she said to them as they left. Sora and Riku waved to them, then headed back to their ship.
Once again, they were off to find another world.
Meanwhile at Hallow Bastion...
Kairi decided to walk around with Maleficent. She had remained quiet and simply viewed everything in her sight, until she took notice of something on the wall.
"What is this?" she asked, seeing two large keys on the wall.
"These are they keyblades." Maleficent replied. "They have been stuck in that wall for a very long time. Only the ones destined to weild such weapons are able to pull them off of the wall. One stands for courage. The other stands for hope. The two are very powerful separate. But together, they are even stronger."
"Oooh." said Kairi, impressed by it all. She stuck her hand out to touch them, but felt her hand get zapped.
"OW!" she screamed.
Maleficent shook her head and sighed. "Only the chosen ones can weild such keys. I've said this before."
"Shut up! I could have been the one! You never know."
"Oh but I do. When one turns to the darkness, they are unable to touch the keyblades. You have turned to the darkness. Therefore, you are not the chosen one."
"What if the chosen one turned to the darkness?"
"That I am not so sure of. ...hm..."
"What is it?"
"I'm sensing something...I think...the two you wish to destroy are near here. They should be arriving at any moment."
Kairi grinned. "Perfect. Finally, I can continue with my plan."
"Just remember one thing." said Maleficent. "Plans to not always go the way people want them to. Be sure you know what you're doing."
"I DO!" Kairi yelled at her. "I know exactly what I'm doing so shut your fucking mouth! I don't need to hear all that shit from you!"
"Calm yourself." Maleficent said, placing her hand on Kairi's shoulder. "Getting angry will not help. Now go. I have faith in you and your plan. Play your cards right, and all will be well."
"I told you I got it under control!" Kairi snapped. "You'll see! Although killing them on the spot would be fine too. But this'll be much more fun."
Kairi exited the room, finally ready to see how her plan would work out.
To be continued...
I'm so sorry if this chapter wasn't that good! WAAAH! I dunno, getting this chapter done bored me so much. But the best has yet to come. STAY TUNED!
