Currents, Chapter 3

Disclaimer, I do NOT own Sora, Ariel, or any other Disney/Squaresoft characters, thank you.

Summary- Set during and eventually after Kingdom Hearts 2. Sora always wanted Ariel to be with him, but he thought since she was a princess, and a mermaid that that could never happen. What if that could all change? Sora/Ariel, Sora/Kairi. AU!

Chapter Summary- Sora, Ariel, Donald, and Goofy, go to see Leon, about Ansems computer, for they hope there is information on it that should tell them about the Heartless, Nobodies, or anything else related to Organization 13, and Kingdom Hearts.

Hollow Bastion-

Sora's POV-

I was quite surprised to see that Ariel had new legs, opposed to her old fins, but anyways he was glad that he was spending time with her, this way he and she might be able to work out. But I was still curious as to how she got those legs.

'Maybe her father gave them to her? No, he hated humans, and whenever Ariel spoke of them, she would be lectured, something she told me she absolutely despised! Other than him, I don't know who else could've turned her human... wait, the Sea Witch! She could have done it! But, Ariel and I defeated her a long time ago... and even if she did, Ariel wouldn't have trusted her enough to let her do that to her, would she? And if she did...why? She seemed very happy to see me. Could that mean that she feels the same way?'

All of these questions were running through my head as I looked at Ariel. She was a little shorter than me on legs but not by much, (I've always hated how in the game Sora is shorter than every other darn character for god's sake, he's 15! he should be a little taller!) either way she was beautiful. She was acting strange though, like she was hiding something, whenever I'd ask her about her legs, she'd tell me to never mind and she would quickly change the subject.

When we arrived at the Hallow Bastion, Aerith greeted us, and said hello to Ariel, and told me that she was looking for me in the town, and that when she met her and Leon, she was quite anxious to see me. That made my heart rise a little, knowing that Ariel wanted to see me, after I hadn't visited her for a while, something I promised to do but, well didn't, and that made me feel bad.

-----

Normal POV-

As the four walked into the corridor that would take them to Ansem's Study, they noticed there were a lot of heartless and nobodies, and there were many turns and blocked passages. Sora had forgotten how good of a fighter Ariel was, well with fins at least, but she wasn't that bad on land either. She used her magic a lot, but who could blame her, after getting new legs, I wouldn't know what to do with them! And she also didn't have a weapon, so Sora decided, that he would go and get her one for the future.

When they reached Ansem's study, Leon was there to greet them, and so was some other woman, and Tifa. Sora asked Leon to look for several things on the computer, such as heartless, and nobodies, but all of the data was corrupted, this made everyone frustrated, but Ariel didn't quite know what a computer was or what it was used for, so she didn't really follow what was happening.

"Ooh stupid thing!" Donald quacked while jumping on the keyboard.

'Donald, NO!" Sora and Goofy yelled. Just then a robotic voice, began to speak, and told them that they would be put under arrest if they didn't stop.

"Donald, don't push anything!" Sora told him, but I guess Donald just couldn't resist the temptation and, you guessed it pushed the button, and doing so made three beams shoot out of the lens at the back of the room, and begin to decompose Sora, Donald, and Goofy, into a new world.

-----

Ariel's POV-

"Donald, don't push anything!" I heard Sora, and Goofy yell, but Donald did push a button, and a weird ray shot out of this strange machine, and made Sora disappear! After that I rad to the thing and started pounding on it, but the man...Leon I think his name was, told me to stop because if I didn't, he might not be able to get Sora back out, so I stopped., and then Leon went back to the...um..computer I think that's what it was called, and tried to set them free. We waited there for, about an hour before Sora, Donald, and Goofy were released. I was so happy to see that he was ok, that I actually went up and...

-----

Normal POV-

When Sora, Donald, and Goofy finally exited the machine, everyone was so glad to see that they were Ok, especially Ariel because she went up to Sora, and she gave him the biggest hug he'd ever had, and then she kissed his cheek.

Still clinging to Sora, she whispered in his ear, "I'm so glad you're Ok..." but then she realized that everyone was watching her and she quickly let go and backed up embarrassed. Sora was a little glad that she had released her constriction on him so he could breath, and was ecstatic that she had she had kissed him! Well his cheek anyways, but hopefully the next time he hopes it will be on the lips. But he was a little annoyed that it happened so fast and was so short. But meanwhile in Atlantica, Ursula was watching the whole thing...

-----

Atlantica-

"Oh that was close! She almost kissed him, Sephiroth was supposed to stop these two from meeting! I'll have to teach him a lesson" Ursula said to herself quite upset, then muttered a few words and Sephiroth appeared in an air bubble before her. "You! You were supposed to make sure they didn't find each other, you idiot" she yelled at him.

"Don't speak to me that way witch! How was I supposed to know that the twerp would be there?" Sephiroth shot back at her annoyed.

"Listen, I happen to know for a fact, that those to love eachother, and if you keep Sora from kissing Ariel, then she will be mine, and Sora will come for the rescue, and mabey I'll toy with him a little bit, weaken his heart you know..." She began to say but was inturupted by Sephiroth.

"Yah yah, but where do I come in again?" He asked.

"Like I was saying, weakening his heart will make him loose the power to wield the keyblade, and then you can have it!" She finished.

"Ah yes, now I remember" Sephiroth said with a grin. "But what of the girl?"

"She will be mine and I can tell you that daddy will come to the rescue for sure, he just loves his little girl so much" she said with a cackle, "and when he does, I will see to it that he switches places with her, so that he is under my captivity! And then I will have the triton, and I can blast that little brat and Sora away to the world of the heartless for good!" She huffed. "And when I do, then I can take over Atlantica, using the many Heartless that I have took under my tentacles over the past year, plotting for my revenge, and Atlantica's demise"

"Clever plan" was all Sephiroth said.

"Now go, make sure those to stay away from each other until tomorrow's sunset" She told him, and then he disappeared.

She then turned to her cauldron and made Maleficent's face appear.

"What is it you want Ursula?" Maleficent said.

"Well everything is going according to plan, but Sora and the others have found Ansem's computer and are trying to get the information about the Heartless! They also mentioned an Organization 13 and these Nobody fools" Ursula told her.

"Ahh they are soo close... here's what we'll do" She began to say...

-----

Hollow Bastion-

After Sora finished telling everyone about Tron and the world inside the computer, Leon told them that the king had stopped by too and was waiting for them, this made Goofy and Donald squeal with excitement.

"We get to see the King!" Donald quacked with joy as he and Goofy danced in a circle, making Ariel giggle. This made Sora look over at her, he loved it when shedid that.

When they all walked out of the computer room, a little big eared figure was standing there.

"Your Majesty!" Donald and Goofy yelled and ran over to him.

"Shhh" he said, "the organization may be watching" he said, and they nodded and zipped there lips.

After Donald, Sora, and Goofy got reacquainted with the king, the king looked over at Ariel and said...

"Ariel? Shouldn't you be underwater?"

"What? How do you know who I am?" She asked.

"Well I'm friends with you father, King Triton, does he know you're here?" The king asked her, already knowing the answer was know, he knows the King would never let Ariel to the surface, he hated humans, but he and Mickey had been friends ever since Mickey saved him from getting caught in the wheel of a certain steamboat...

Ariel didn't say anything for a little, and then got down on her knees to be at eye level with the king and said, "Oh please don't tell him I'm here, and no he doesn't know I'm gone, but please, please don't tell him!" she cried while grabbing on to Mickey's quite large, gloved hands, and looking him in the eye.

"Ummm, fine, but I bet he's really worried about you" he told her.

"Oh thank you!" She said while picking him and and giving him a hug.

"Don't mention it" he said.

By this time Sora just had to know how she got here so he asked her, "Ariel please, I'm begging you. How did you get here!"

Him saying that made all eyes on her, so she just decided to say it, even if it means giving up being human and becoming captive to Ursula. She didn't want to lie or keep secrets form him.

"Oh ok, about a day ago I made a deal with the-" She began to say but was cut off, when a one winged-silver-hairwd man came out of nowhere and covered her mouth and disappeared making everyone nervous and in shock.

"Wha, what happened!" Sora yelled, "Where'd she go?"

"Sephiroth" Leon said.

"Who?" Sora said turning around to look at him puzzled.

"Sephiroth, that's the guy who took her, that's his name" Leon replied.

"Well where'd he go!" Sora demanded.

"I'm not sure, he usually doesn't go around kidnaping human mermaids" Leon said looking away.

'Leon!" Sora growled. Then Mickey stepped forward.

"Look Sora, I'm sorry about Ariel, but if you want I will go look for her, because right now you have other things to do" Mickey told him.

Sora was about to protest, but he decided that Mickey probably knew what was best so he just said, "Ok thanks, your highness"

Then Yuffie burst threw the doorway and said, "You guys, there are tons of Heartless outside fighting the weird white things! Come quick"

-----

A little earlier-

Atlantica-

Ursual had just been informed that Sephiroth had kidnaped Ariel, and she had told him not to tell Ariel that he was working for her.

Ursula then told Maleficent this and Maleficent had decided that she would put Sora under more stress, since he already knew that the one he loves had been kidnaped, she sent thousands of Heartless to Hollow Bastion to weaken Sora even more. But she didn't realize that the Organization would also be there.

-----

Present-

Hollow Bastion-

When they reached outside they saw the numerous Heartless and Nobodies fighting.

"The Organization!" Donald quacked.

"Sora, you guys help defeat these guys, while I go and search for your friend, you can handle this right?" Mickey commanded him. Sora then nodded and ran into battle. Then Mickey pulled out a device that would take him to wherever he pleases, so he chose to go to wherever this Sephiroth fellow was. And with that a blue light enveloped him and he was gone.

-End of Chapter Three-

There was a little more romance in this one but not a whole lot, and Ariel got kidnaped! Oh no!
