Currents, Chapter 7

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

Thanks Cyberweasle for giving me the ranged weapon idea!

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- Ariel and Sora are a couple, but the Organization sees a place for Ariel in their plan, and Kairi has just come into the picture! What's a Mermaid Princess to do?

-----

Hollow Bastion-

Everything was going great! Ariel and Sora had finally become a couple, and everyone was happy for them. Their friends at the Hollow Bastion were glad that Ariel could stay on land. Sora had given her the bow and arrows, but only after they had decided that Ariel could come along with Sora, Donald and Goofy on their adventures.

Sora had quickly taught Ariel how to use the bow, much quicker than when he had learnt it, and Ariel quite enjoyed the thing, he had once done something similar to using the bow and arrow, only they didn't use swordfish and octopuses.

Sora and Ariel needed to go and help out the people at Twilight Town, a place Ariel was looking foreword to going to, only she wasn't ready for what she would encounter there...

Twilight Town-

"And that's what happened", the red-head explained to her new friends.

"Wow, that's so romantic Kairi! You're lucky to have someone like Sora!" Olette squealed. Kairi had just finished telling, Hayner, Pence, and Olette about what had happened the past year, with Sora and Ansem, and how she hadn't seen him in a year, but was looking foreword to.

"Yah but I haven't seen him in so long..." Kairi sighed.

"Hey, don't worry, Sora promised us he would come back soon, so if you stay here, he's bound to show up!" Hayner told her while standing up and out of his seat.

Kairi smiled, "Thank you", she said with a giggle.

They talked a little more until, Kairi's prayers were answered and Sora walked into the hangout!

"Kairi?" Sora said stunned, "Wh- how?" He stuttered.

"You happy to see me Sora?" Kairi said with a childish grin on her face. She was just about to lean in and hug him, or kiss him, or do whatever she wanted, when Donald, Goofy, and another girl walked in.

"Donald, Goofy!" Hayner and the other said while walking over to great their friends, "And who are you?" Hayner said, while inspecting Ariel, head to toe.

Sora saw this, and quickly rushed from Kairi, and stood between Hayner, and Ariel, he didn't want Hayner stepping foot on his real-estate! "Her name's Ariel, and she happens to be my g-", but he was interrupted, when an orb of darkness appeared, and a black robed, red-head emerged from it.

"You're a brave girl Kairi, jumping into the darkness like that" He said with a chuckle.

"Axel" Sora clenched while looking at him.

"Oh hello Sora, don't mind me, I'll just be on my way" Axel said, and then he grabbed Kairi's arm and he began dragging her to the portal.

"Hey, let her go!" Sora yelled, Ariel was looking a bit confused and worried during all this, so she just stood there, not knowing what to do.

"Actually I can't, see I'm just doing my business, got it memorized?" The person, said, and then he disappeared with Kairi through the portal.

"Kairi!", everyone but Ariel yelled.

"Um, where'd she go?" Ariel asked puzzled.

"I don't know, but I need to find her, I don't kn ow what the organization will do with her" Sora said looking to the ground.

"That guy was the organization?" Ariel yellped.

"No he was part of it, and I'm not so sure what Axel wants with Kairi" Sora told her, he then walked over to her, and looked at her, "I'm glad you're still hear though"

Ariel blushed and looked at the floor and then back up into his eyes.

"Wh-wait, we thought you and Kairi were together!" Olette exclaimed.

"What? What did Kairi tell you?" Sora demanded, still with his arms around Ariel.

"Well nothing, but she was hinting that she really likes you, and that you like her too Sora" Hayner told him

"Well I do like her, as a friend!" Sora explained annoyed.

They all were silent, until Ariel finally said, "So... I'm Ariel" a little embarrassed.

"Hi, I'm Olette", the brunette said with a wave.

"I'm Pence" The boy said.

"And I'm Hayner, pleased to meat yah" The blond boy said while leaning in close to her and grinning, only to receive a glare from Sora, who quickly grabbed and held Ariel's hand.

Donald and Goofy were just tapping there feet and shaking their heads at Sora's actions. Ariel just wanted Sora to stop squeezing her hand so tight, sure she loved him, and liked being held tight, but not to the level of bone breakage!

Somewhere-

"Axel, did you find the girl?" A mysterious voice asked.

"Yah I got her, but when I was there, Sora had another girl with him, one I've never seen before, and I think she and Sora, are you know..." Axel replied.

"Oh so this Kairi might not be the one we need, is that what you are saying?" The voice said again.

"Well maybe-" Axel began, but was cut off.

"Well then lets take a look" It said. Then the figure made it's way over to another black orb, much like the portal, and asked to see Sora, and there he saw Sora, and the red-haired girl in the other's arm, and nuzzling close. "Oh I see" he said.

"Do you want me to get her?" Axel asked.

"No not yet, let's learn more of this girl, she might be the only way we can use Sora, to fulfill our needs..." The voice then began to cackle, "Axel, see if you can find anything else about this girl, and make sure Kairi's treated like a... guest..." He then began to cackle again, and he disappeared.
