Chapter two: Back to Traverse Town
---------------------------------------------------
Kairi sared at the two animated animals in dis-belief. They have to be joking. it really didnt happen. Her hair was a little wild from the fall, and the look on her face would make you think she was mental. Not believing it, she started laughing.
"You guys are kidding right?" she said half laughing. Goofy and Donald looked at each other,sadness in their eyes. Then they looked back at her, still frowning deeper. " Kairi," Donald started. The sad but serious voice made her go queezie in the stomach." We are not kidding. he,... he was kidnapped. were sorry, we... we tried to save him, but..." he looked back at Goofy, who then turned to Kairi.
ofy said "But, they were to powerful, Gaursh, we couldnt fight without him." Goofy said sadly, looking down. She could tell he was a very emotional dog because his eyes were brimmed in tears. Kairi still stared at them both, about to tell them it wasnt true until it hit her. Donald never gets emotional, and... and Goofy is always smiling! But it couldnt of happened! What if... what if he is- her eyes started to get watery with her tears, and her knees felt oddly weak.
Dead.
No, he cant be dead, i would feel it. The truth is that she has had an odd feeling for the past half year. Sure she was sad, but she knew he could handle himself. But then one night it hit her; something was wrong. And she ignored it! How could she be so stupid! From then on, she got very bad feelings in her stomach that something ws wrong. Sometimes more than others. By now, tears were flowing down her eyes, leaving wet trails on her cheeks, as her eyes grew red and puffy.
She made a loud sniffle, and Donald and Goofy looked up. She could tell it hurt them to see her like that, because their eyes drooped lower than they already were.
" Come here Kairi, lets sit down, i think you deserve to know what happened." Donald said motioning her towards the Paupu tree to sit down. So she sat down, usint her shirt to wipe away the tears. Donald and Goofy stayed standing infront of her, looking a little nervous. Goofy leaned into Donald's ear, and wispered low enough for Kairi not to hear.
" Donald, can you tell it? Gulp, i dont thinki have the heart to tell her the story." Donald nodded, and turned to Kairi.
"Well," Donald started now looking into Kairi's eyes," it all started after castle Oblivion. When we escaped the castle, something odd happened. The sky started to grow dark with black clouds, and the Orginization, who by the way are a knew clan of enemies that are trying to kill us, apeared before us. We fought for a long time, but they would not give up. Since we were tired from the adventure in the castle, they soon difeted us. They knocked out Sora, by slamming him on the head. Kairi flinched Axel, who is part of the Orginization, took him away, while the other twelve kept fighting us, making sure we dont try to stop us. Until, they all disapeared, along with Sora."
Kairi stopped crying by now. Although the puffyness and the stains on her face were still there, she was able to control herself, no matter how much it hurt. "Then," she started, "why are you here at Destiny Islands?" she said a little more confidently.
" Well," Donald started again, " we need you to help us find him." Kairi's heart skipped a beat. Why would they possibly want me? Whats so special about me? she thought.
" Why do you need me?" she asked while standing up, with her hands on her chest with care.
"We figured that because, well, youre hearts are connected, you would be some kind of help. But it might be for nothing for all we know, he could be..." he looked down to his shoes, "dead."
"He isnt dead! i can tell! I would feel it inside of me! i just know he's alive." said, and looked towards the abnormaly large moon, that reflected off the water. "How long ago did this happen?" she already knew the answer, she just wanted reasurance.
"Gulp, about half a year ago, i think." Goofy said for the first time since Donald started the story. His eyes were no longer brimmed with tears, and he didnt seem as sad. Kairi guessed it was because now that they had told her, it was a big relief.
The it hit her, "Well, then what have you been doing in the past half year?" her mind exploded with questions. Now that she was over the shock, and she was sure he was alive, she felt a little better.
"Yeah, well you have no idea how long it took us to find this world! For some reason, it isnt supposed to be found." Donald said, "Hmmmm... i wonder why?" he then apeared to be deep in thought.Kairi now became curious why it was so hard to find this place. But there was no time to think about that, they had a more pressing matter to deal with. Donald seemed to relize this too, because he soon snapped back into reality.
"But to find him," Kairi started now looking right at them with doubt in her eyes," im giong to learn to fight. Dont I?" Donald and Goofy nodded.
"Thats why our first stop is Traverse Town." Goofy said.
"But," Kairi said just realizing this, " i cant just leave without anyone knowing where i am!" Donald and Goofy pondered about this. although she didnt think Goofy was getting anywhere
" Well," Donald started, "you could leave a note. But you have to hurry! Or we will leave withought you!" Donald quacked. A/N: haha...quacked...hahaha Kairi ran to the sand, while Donald and Goofy walked back to the ship. She randomly grabbed a stick, and knelt down to the dround so the cool sand was touching her knees, and began to write:
Dear whoever finds this,
I have gone to find Sora. Dont worry about me, im not alone. Please tell my grandmother and major im okay. But i might not be back for awhile.
Love,
Kairi.
The truth is, when she came bsck from End Of World, she didnt tell anyone where exactly she was, because she couldnt desturb the balance. The islanders became curious about why she was gone for so long, but she just said the same thing: I was on a raft with Sora and Riku, until the black clouds apeared and took Sora and Riku away. And i was stranded on the boat until i came back.
Although she didnt like lying, she knew she had to because Leon warned her about the balance. Then she realized, were Leon, Yuffie,Cloud, and Aerith going to be there? She did miss them, although not as much as Sora and Riku.
Riku.
How could she be so stupid? She slapped her hand on her head and looking into nowhere. Where was Riku? Was he still on the Dark side? She completly forgot to ask Donald and Goofy about him! She groaned, and stood up. She could hear in the distance Donald quacking loudly about something for her to come quikly or they would leave her there and forget about her. But who could understand him? Right? She wiped one last tear away and ran to the ship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Axel looked into the dark stone cell that held the pathetic boy who they called the 'Keyblade Master'. Axel muttered to himself something about how he couldnt believe a boy this weak and young yealded the the Keyblade. And then he walked off into the dark corridor.
Sora looked up, relieved to see Axel out of site. Someone was always there, watching him. It was very uncomfortable. Ocationaly he would ask why he was there,or what they wanted with him if they werent going to kill him. But they just ignored him and looked away. He usually had about one hour by himself in the cell. Although he was chained, he tried to work out, knowing that one day Donald and Goofy would come and rescue him with help. He had to be prepared to fight.He would stand up and jog in place, or do sit ups and push ups. The chains extended long, so he could walk about three feet infront of him.
He would do this for about half an hour, and then he would think. Eventhough he could think while a guard, or someone from the organization was watching him, he would much rather think by himself instead of someone constantly watching him. It kept him focused, because whenever the guard could tell he was deep in thought, he would cough loudly, and shake the bar that seperated him from freedom, and get him out of thought.The odd thing was that he could swear that Riku was one of the guards under the hood. This is what Sora usually thought about. Was he on our sire, or the Dark side? But he didnt dare ask if it was him.Sora didnt only think about Riku, or what to do ir he was rescued, but about good things. Like his friends, Destiny Islands, and Kairi.
Kairi.
She would pop in his mind randomly while he was thinking. He would think about his promise to her, her laugh, her smile, her beauty. He sighed and got up of the ground where he called his bed. He looked around the dark cell. It was pretty big and spacious, not that he was able to walk around. The floor and walls were all a dark colored stone, that, personaly, he didnt like. He started doing jumping jacks, and yet again Kairi popped in his mind again.
Her smile, her eyes, her beautiful, silky hair. And her personality, her promise. He smiled at the thought of seeing her again. He stopped doing jumping-jacks and hopped to the floor to start push ups. He knew she would look different. And then he remembered the last time she saw him. He had the red shorts, and black jacket. But now, he had an all black outfit. With black and yellow shoes, black shorts, black jacket and shirt. He had red and yellow details here and there, but it was mostly black. He still had the chain that went around his shorts, and the chain necklace Kairi gave him for his fourteenth birthday.
Oh how much he wanted to see her again. He always liked her back on the islands, but now, he want sure he felt that way anymore. It wasnt just like-like, everyday, he wanted to see her more and more. Come to think of it, he thought of her all the time! Not just once or twice, but the whole day. No matter how much he tried to concentrate on pressing matters, he would think of her. It was probably what kept him going.
Just then he heard foot steps coming down the corridor.Sora quickly stopped doing push-ups, and sat down regularly, trying to even his breathing so they wont be suspicious. Looks like they didnt give him to much time to himself today. This sometimes happened. But not all the time. The figure came into view: it was the person he thought was Riku. Finally, he reached the cell and stared at Sora for a few moments, and then turned his back on him.
For some reason, he didnt constantly watch him like the rest, or stop him whenhe thought he was thinking to deeply. He just left him alone. Sora stared at his back for a while. Should i ask him if he's Riku, or not? He thought about it for a few moments. While silence pressed against his ears. He finally built up the courage.
"Riku?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kairi boarded the ship, and loooked around. It definatly has hanged since the last time she saw it. It was now dark blue outside, and gray and Yellow inside.To the left, was thecontrol center. It had many beeping buttons and switches that seemed to come out of random places, the back of chairs, the floor, and even the window! The three seatsnear the control centerwere yellow, and the onlydoor in the ship other than the entrnacewas yellow aswell. She guessed that was the small living quarters. Although it was slightly cramped, in general, it was cozy.
"Hurry up and buckle up! We are about to lift off." Donald quacked loudly, that made Kairi jump slightly. Goofy seemed to notice this and turned to Donald who were both sittinf in two of the three seats, and said: "Gaursh Donald! dont be so mean!" But Donald gave him a death glare.
Kairi actually thought it was humerous. Sora must have had fun laughing.
Sora.
She sighed and sat down on the remaining seat that was all the way to the left, Donald was in the middle, and Goofy was on the far right.
"Ready! Blast off!" Donald yelled as he put a finger in the air. Kairi just buckled in when the ship went pelting upwards, and then drop suddenly. She felt like her stomach was trapesing in her insides. She could tell Goofy was experiencing the same thing, he was slightly green.
"Hehe, sorry." Donald said as he pressed a button, and they zoomed forward. Kairi could feel her face molding towards the back of her head, and she slammed against the back of the seat. Donald and Goofy also seemed to be glued to the seat aswell. She decided not to ask them about Riku just yet. For the first time, she noticed the stars were not dotts anymore, but streams of light. They were definatly warping.
Then, suddenly they stopped. And Kairi lunged forward, thanking god she had her seat-belt on, or she would be through the window. In front of them was a world that had houses and buildings with orange roofs.
"Well. here's Traverse Town!" Donald exclaimed.
"Hey Donald?" Kairi asked as she rubbed her sore stomach.
"Yeah?" Doanld said, fiddling with switches and buttons. One of then seemed to be stuck, because he kept pushing it with more force everytime.
" Will Leon, Yuffie, Cloud, and Aerith be there?" she asked.
"Yes. They probably have more information than we do, we just told them the story. So ask them the questions, Alright?" Donald quacked. Obviously he was getting frustrated with the button because he was now ramming it with full force. Then he started yelling something about Cid not fixingit right with a few quacks here and there. Goofy just stared at him shaking his head andpushed Donald away, and gently pushed the small green button. There was a ring as the Gummie ship was being pulled into a tunnel under the world. Goofy turned to a fumming Donald, and crosses his arms. Kairi laughed out loud,as they both turned to her. Goofy started laughing, or whatever he does that is related laughing.Donald just opened the exit door,obviously still mad,and jumped out.
Kairi stopped laughing, and followed Donald out side, with Goofyclose behind.When she stepped out, she looked around and saw a dark tunnel, with a large oak door a few feet away from them. She stepped up to the door and opened it with difficulty. Finally, she got it opened and looked around the first district. It was the same as before, wide and spacious, with the large open restaurant and all.
"Everyone else is in the hotelin the third district. A/N: is it the third district?Lets go." Donald said as they made their way towards thethird district door. Once they entered, Heartless startes attacking. Already ready, Donald and Goofy started fighting them until slowly all the Heartless disapeared. Kairi just stoof in the corner, wide eyed. She was still not over the heartless. They scared her to death. She didnt know how Sora was able to fight them constantly. But she knew she had to get over her fear to rescue Sora.
Donald And Goofy started running towards the hotel, killing a few heartless here and there. Kairi could tell they were more vulnerable without Sora. No wonder they couldnt rescue him when he was taken away.
Finally, they reached the door to the hotel, and bolted in. The scent of the hotel filled her nostrils. She had had good memories here, eventhough she was also at the small house, or magitians study. She remembered the fun she had with Yuffie and Aerith, making playful joked on Leon. Good times, good times.
Then someone peaked out of one of the rooms, looking around for who just entered the Hotel. Her eyes set on Donald, then Goofy, and finlly on Kairi. A big smile crept on unmistakingly Yuffie, as she pelted forward to Kairi, and gave her a bear hug. No, literally, a bear hug. Then she looked at Kairi up and down and yelled for Aerith to caome here. Soon enough, a sleepy Aerith walked out of the same room and saw Kairi.
She also ran to her, and gve her a hug. " Oh Kairi! We havent seen you in so long!" Aerith said. Then Yuffie turned around and cupped her hands around her mouth.
"EVERYONE! KAIRI'S HERE! WAKE UP!" Yuffie yelled at the top of her lungs. She was obviously happy because she was jumping up and down. And soon enough a very drousy Leon and Cloud walked out of a different room, rubbbing their eyes and yawning. Finally, they noticed Kairi and smiled lightly. On the other hand, Kairi was smiling so much, her jaw hurt.
"Nice to see you again, Kai." Leon said as she hugged him. He looked a little suprised that she hugged him, but smiled anyway. The she turned to Cloud and hugged him aswell. "Hehe, long time no see, Kairi." She let go and turned to Yuffie and Aerith, who looked a little jealous.
"Don't touch her Squall," she said fake being serious and pointing a finger at him, " she's Sora's." Everyone burst out laughing, and Kairi turned, if its posible, 16 shades of red. Even Cid, who just apeared out of another room was chuckling merrily.A/N: never thought that would happen, Kairi turned to him and waved hello.
"Oh! And you don't hug him? Huh?" she said with one hand on her hip, and the other pointing a finger inher face, leaning close to her so she was only inches away. Everyone started laughing again. When everyone stopped laughing, Leon turned to Kairi who became quiet because she knew it was going to be serious.
"Kairi, i know you just got here, but you probably tired so you should go and sleep in the red room with Aerith and Yuffie. In the morning, we will discuss the plan. Okay?" she nodded happily. Leon turned towards everyone, "That means you, too, guys." There were many groans, and "awwww's".mostly from Yuffie but headed for their rooms anyway.
After saying their goodnights, Kairi headed for the Red Room with Aerith and Yuffie. She walked inside, and noticed that there were two beds added for all of them. Kairi hopped onto one of the bed's and climbed into the covers, and closed her eyes. She could hear Yuffie and Aerith do the same, and the lights went out, and fell into a deep sleep.
