Currents, Chapter 4
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- Micky goes to find Sora's friend, Ariel, who was taken earlier by Sephiroth, who wants Sora's Keyblade. Sora and the others are fighting their way out of the castle, and at the same time also protecting the town. But as all of this is happening, Ursula's army grows...

Ariel's POV-
Somewhere-
Where am I, that's what I was thinking, after I awoke in a strange place, with crosses and, people with wings, I've seen paintings of those, they are often in shipwrecks, as well as the crosses. I don't know how I got here. All I remember was that I was going to tell Sora and the others about my deal wth Ursula, when I was grabbed out of nowhere and was put to sleep. Well, I'm guessing that I was, because I just woke up, and I don't remember anything as to how I got here.
As I look around some more, I see statues, of fierce-looking winged creatures. This place looks abandoned, and old, very old. Most of the windows (I think they call them that) are broken, and it looks like they were coloured, and made to look like pictures. There is a lot of dust, and because I was lying on the ground, my hair is very dirty, maybe I'll wash it later, but only if I ever find my way back in time. Then my thoughts strayed to Sora, just thinking about him lifted my spirits, I wonder if I'll ever see him again. I have to if I want to remain human and be with him.
A sudden rage built up in me at that thought. It's whoever took me's fault! Not mine! And because of them I will never be with Sora, and I'll have to belong to that stupid witch! Why did I ever make that deal? Now either way I'll never see my father, or sisters again! It's not fair!
"It's not fair!" I screamed at the ceiling. And then that rage grew, and I began to cry. With tears running down my face, I looked to my left and saw a blurry candle stand, so I walked over to it, picked it up, and threw it through the window, shattering it to tiny pieces. It was my rage, my furry controlling me now as I began walking up to innocent objects and hurling them at walls, ceilings, windows, floors, or even other objects. I picked up a nicely furnished chair, and I smashed it over a table, breaking it into pieces. I saw a few vases that were beautifully painted, but my anger didn't care, I picked them up and I threw them too! They also shattered into tiny pieces, one of them bouncing and coming back at me, only to leave a scratch on my cheek, making blood run out of it, making me very angry, so then I looked for something else to release my anger on, a giant organ, one of these was in a shipwreck once, so I ran over to it, and tried to kick it, only to feel a tremendous pain in my leg when doing so. So then I broke down and cried, thinking about what my life should have been like...

Normal POV-
As Ariel cried, lying on the chapel floor, with all of the ruined things lying amongst her, she spotted a book right in front of her, it looked familiar, 'I think I've seen one of these before, on a shipwreck' she said to her self while reaching for the tattered book. It looked old, and was entitled, 'The Holy Bible' but she couldn't read it, Ariel could only read the Atlantican letters and words, but she vowed to herself one day she would learn how to read this, and when she did, she would read this book.
Up above, on a Gargoyle, Sephiroth had been watching the whole thing, smiling the whole time, finding the whole situation quite funny. He didn't know that Ariel had so much anger in her, especially over one tiny thing, but Sephiroth didn't know the whole story. As he gazed upon the crying princess, he kind of felt bad for her, but that feeling was quickly brushed away, as his thoughts were then directed towards that Keyblade, and how he hoped it would be his. He doesn't like to be working for Ursula, but if it's the only way to get the Keyblade he'll do it, and once he gets the keyblade, the first thing he'll do is cut up that hideous octopus, and eat her for dinner! Thinking of this made him chuckle, and Ariel heard him.
"Who's there?" She called out, "Answer me!"
Sephiroth then floated down to the floor, landing on a painting and shattering the protective glass. He just looked at her with a smirk.
"You!" She said with a gasp, "Can you please help me get out of here? Did you come looking for me? I'm sorry I wandered off!" She said to him, not yet realizing that he is her kidnapper.
"I'm sorry but I can't help you" he told her with a smirk.
"Well can you at least show me the way out?" She asked a little annoyed.
"I still can't and won't help you" He said.
"Wha-what do you mean?" she asked worried.
"I mean that I won't help you! Goodness are you really that dense? Get it through all of that hair, to your head!" He yelled at her with a huff.
Ariel was taken back by his statement, so all she said was, "Um, ok" eyeing his sword.
Sephiroth then grunted and turned away. Then he began to float and was enveloped in a dark light, and he was gone, leaving Ariel to cry, only she didn't. Because just as he left, another blue light appeared and King Mickey imerged from it!
"Huh? Your Majesty! How did you find me?" Ariel called over to him. She ran over to him and gave him a hug. Maybe now she had some hope of seeing Sora again and explaining herself.
"Shhh!" he told her,"The organization might be watching!"
"Oh right" she said with a nod.
"Now, time to get you out of here!" He told her.
"Oh really? Yes! OH thank-you!" She squealed.
"Oh don't mention it" he said while throwing a blue ball into the air. It then grew into the blue orb Mickey stepped out of, "Follow me!" He told her. She did and walked right into the orb. And with that, they were transported to a familiar place...

Hallow Bastion-
...And with that, the blond guitarist disapeared.
"We did it!" Donald said while jumping into the air, Goofy joined him too.
"Yah we did" Sora said with a sigh as his thoughts went back to Ariel. 'I hope King Mickey finds her, he has to!' Sora thought to himself.
"Uh, Sora we still got the Heartless to finish off" Goofy told him in his usual, goofy voice.
"Oh right" Sora said, "Let's go!"
As the trio ran down the steps into a crystal canyon, destroying Heartless along the way, Ariel had been watching them, along with Mickey. Ariel was amazed by his skills with the Keyblade, only making her fall even more in love with him. Mickey was watching her expressions while she looked at Sora, battling away at a very large amount of Heartless. He already knew she was in love with him, and Mickey guessed that Sora probably loved her too. So he asked her, "Ariel, you never finished telling us about how you got here, could you please tell me?"
Ariel directed her gaze towards him, she thought about what he might say, but she didn't think that Mickey would go running off and tell Sora about it, so she said, "Well I guess I can tell you, you see I went to the- the Sea Witch and I asked her if she could turn me into a human" Ariel began, noticing that Mickey's expression didn't change at all, though he probably wasn't impressed with her idea though, "And she said that she would, but I had to vow never to return to Atlantica again, but in order for me to remain human, I kinda need Sora to... kiss me... within three days. I only have one full day left" she finished a little embarrassed.
"Well, what happens if you can't get Sora to kiss you?" Mickey asked, already knowing the answer.
"I kinda belong to her then, I'll be her slave" She said in shame, "right now I really wish I had thought this over, because either way, I will never see my father, or sisters, or my friends again!" She said, her eyes tearing up.
"Well I don't know if I can help you Ariel, I'm really sorry" He told her as she began to cry.
"Now Ariel it's no time to cry, Sora's almost done with the Heartless, and I'm sure that he'd love to know that your ok" Mickey told her helping her up.
"Thank you, I want to see him too" she said rubbing her eyes. She took one last look at Sora and then they were off.
-----
Ariel and Micky waited at Merlins house for Sora, discussing Atlantica, and other things, while drinking tea. It wasn't that long before Sora, Donald, and Goofy barged in threw the door. Ariel saw him and ran up to him and smiled.
"Oh Sora I thought I'd never see you again!" She cried while pulling him in for a hug.
"Ariel you're ok! I'm so glad you're safe!" Sora said while wrapping his arms around Ariel, and returning the hug, lifting her off the floor a little, making her giggle.
Sora looked into her eyes, and then at her smile, he couldn't imagine himself going on without seeing her smile again, he wouldn't do that. So from that moment on, he promised himself to find away for he and Ariel to be together forever.

Atlantica-
"Oh that fool! I can't believe he let her get away!" Ursula screamed, "Flotsam, Jetsam! I am going to turn you two into humans, and I want you to keep that brat from kissing Sora! I know you won't fail me!" She told them.
"But, you still have Sephiroth doing that!" Flotsam said.
"Oh I know that, but three spies are better than one, and I can at least trust you...somewhat" she said.
"Yes Ursula" the two said. Then the Sea Witch began to chant, turning the eels into twin humans, each with one yellow eye, for Ursula to gaze threw.
"Now, go and don't fail me!" She yelled, and with that, they disappeared.

-End of Chapter Four-
In the next chapter, it's Ariel's last day, as a human, that is if Sora doesn't kiss her in time at least...
