Chapter Three: Explanations and SHOPPING!

-------------------------------------------------------------

The black-hooded person turned around slowly to seehis spikey haired friend. He stepped closer, and looked srait into his eyes.Sora was sure it was those famous eyes that won all the girls on the island they used to live on.

"Its you isnt it?" Sora asked while sitting down on the ground. He placed his hands on the ground, and looked up again.

He didnt answer.

"Riku... i know its you." Sora said, looking deeper into his eyes trying to find the real Riku. Riku averted his eyes from him and looked around the cell. He then turned around to see if anyone was near.

"Sora... dont think im on the dark side. Please." Riku said, not meeting his gaze.

"How do I know your actually are on our side!" he said a little to loudly.

"Shhhhhh! Dont say it that loud! You have to believe me, Sora! Please!" Riku pleaded. He took of his hood and looked back at Sora. Yeah, it was definatly Riku. But something was different about him. Tiredness and sadness seemed to rip through his face. His eyes, the same aquamarine,looked tired. His hair was the same, maybe a little longer. And he seemed a little taller to Sora. But the sadness and pleading in his voice scared him.

Now that he thought about it, Riku had never pleaded Sora before. He never had any real reason to beg him. He was always smarter, faster, and stronger. No wonder Kairi always took notice to him. There it go's again, she popped into his head for the thirteenth time that day. Yes, he counted. But the more he looked into his sad eyes, the more he saw light, and hope.

"Fine, but you have to tell me what happened." Sora said grinning, And for the first time in awhile, he was sure, Riku smiled. It wasnt forced, or as fake as Micheal Jackson's nose, it was real.

"Okay, I'll make it quick. You never know who will pass by." He leaned in closer, as Sora scooted forward as far as he could. He sat indian style, and placed his elbows on his lap,and used his hands to support his head.They were probably about six feet away from eachother, and Sora had to catch every bit.

"It allbegan when you locked the door." Riku started.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Kairi fluttered her eyes open, and looked around the room. Yuffie and Aerith were already up, talking by the table. As sad as it was, Kairi decided to get out of bed. She sat up, and streched her arms as wide as they could go, and let out an almost Sora, matched yawn. Yuffie and Aerithobviously noticed her yawnand walked to the side of her bed.

"About time you woke up sleepy-head." Yuffie said giggling, and Aerith smiled.

"Yeah, we have discuss Sora's rescue." Aerith added.

Kairi jumped out of bed, and slowly combed her hair with her fingers, letting out another yawn. Once she was finished, she followed Yuffie and Aerith out the door, and into the next room. As she walked inside, she noticed everything was blue, with two queen sized beds in the corner. There was everyone else, sitting at the large round table in the middle of the room.

Kairi sat down andlooked at everyone else, waiting for someone to start the gathering. Leon cleared his throat loudly to try to signify the beggining of the meeting. Everyone turned towards him.

"Okay, today we have to discuss Sora's rescue." Leon started. "We have some facts, and some facts only. Although we have no exact location of where Sora is being held hostage, we do have a relative location." He pressed a button underneath the table, and a holigraphic map of the universe apeared above the table.

"Ummmmm... where did you get that?"Yuffie asked suddenly.

"Dont mind that now Yuffie!" He said in Yuffies direction. Yuffie crossed her arms and looked away.

"Okay, he is somewhere in sector 12345, between two unkown planets." He looked around the table seriously."

Isnt 12345 a little obvious?" Yuffie asked, still crossing her arms. Everyone sighed, andLeon turned slowly towards her direction, with grinding teeth, anime style. "Like i said Yuffie, this is not the time." she gave him a death glare, and looked away again.

Leon pressed another button, and the map seemed to zoom into a specific area with only four worlds, only two of them showing detail. "These two worlds we are 99 sure they are under control, and out of the Heartless's rea-"

"Well how can you be 100 shure they are sucure?" Yuffie interupted." I mea-"

"SHUT UP YUFFIE!" everyone yelledexcept forKairi. Yuffie sank lower into her chair, and looked at her lap.

"Now that we can continue, the two worlds we are 99 sure are safe, are the Disney Castle, and The World with Castle Oblivion."he pinted to the more detailed worlds."The two unknown worlds, "he points to the two other worlds with ? marks on them." is pressumibly where Sora is."

Kairi raised her hand shyly. "Yes, Kairi?" Leon asked turning towards her.

"Ummm... How do you know he is in this sector when he could be anywhere?" she asked, a little confused.

"Good question. The reason why it is in this sector is because, thr world with Castle Oblivion, was the last place Sora was before he was kidnapped." Kairi was trying to listen extra hard so she couldunderstand everything, nodding every once in a while. " Where the Orginization telaports, is limited. They can only move, when there is more darkness with them. In other words, Sora, is full of light, Therefore, they could not travel beyond the sector. See, the darkness is like feul to the Heartless and the Orginization. It is only logical to stay in one spot, because it is not safe to travel constantly, where people could see them. And because they cannot go very far with him, they must have decided to stay in that sector. But the odd thing is... they have not been able to move in long distances for quite a while now... but that is not the subject of this meeting."

He looked around as everyone nodded. " Good. Now the onyly people who will actually search for Sora, are Donald, Goofy, and Kairi. We cannot afford to have so many people going from world to world. The reason i chose Kairi, Donald and Goofy, is because they know him better. Goofy and Donald are Sora's original sidekicks. Kairi's heart is linked with Sora's, therefore, she can feel his emotion, his status, and how far or close he is."He turned to Kairi, "This is going to be extremly dangerous for you Kairi, you are the princess of Hearts. They probably want you more than any of us. That is why we are going to train you."

Kairi smiled big, she was going to go look for Sora! She was going to help for once in her life!

"Cloud, Yuffie, and I are going to train you how in combat. While Merlin and Donald are going to teach you magic. First thing you have to do, is find a battle fit costume, then you have to find a weapon." Suddenly, Yuffie jumped on the table and yelled, "SHOPPING!"

-----------------------------------

" Come on Kairi! Or all the shops are going to close!" Yuffie grabbed Kairi's hand forcivly, and pulled her out of the hotel, with Aerith close behind.

"I want to come too!" Aerith yelled.

"Okay fine! Come quickly!" Yuffie responded. Aerith smiled and ran after them. They walked down the street, and peered into a few shops. They went inside them once in a while, butwalked out because there was nothing to their likeing.

"Oh my god! This is my favorite store!" Aerith called from the doorway of the " All you Need, When You Need It". Kairi thought it was direct enough, so they walked in. The smell of insence filled her lungs. The shop was in a Buddist desine, where there were pillows all over the floor, and a large statue of a fat, bald man, sitting down. The name sure was telling the truth, there was litteraly everything! Kairi's eyes widened in amazement, scanning through the room again. There was regular clothes, to athletic clothes, to fancy clothes, to some things rather not mentioned.

Since Kairi was a picky clothes person, so she agreed for Aerith and Yuffie to find things. Boy, was that a mistake. Soon the pile of clothes was so high, it almost reached to top of the statue! Yuffie and Aerith pushed Kairi into the changing rooms, and threw outfits into the stall for her to try on. It seemed to last forever until she found something she liked. It wasnt as girly as she usually wore, but as they said, it was more 'battle ready'. She wore the same, black choker she always wore, with a few braceletts. A black strapless top, that stopped above her belly button.Short Khakki shorts, much like Yuffie's, with two blue belts that hungs loosly around her hip. Blue fingerless gloves, with a white dot ontop. Shoes almost equivelent to the shoes she was just wearing, except black and blue, with white laces, crawling up her leg.

She was very satisfied with her look, she turned a few times times in the mirror until she decided to show Aerith and Yuffie. She walked out the door slowly, and smiled shyly. Aerith and Yuffie's jaws dropped.

"Kai! i never knew you could pull off the tomboy/cool look! You look great!" Aerith said with her hand on her mouth.

"Wait until Sora sees you!" Yuffie said, and wolf-wistled. Kairi blushed and giggled. Once they paid for the clothes, they headed out the door, still giggling about nonesence.

"Leon said we have to get a weopon for you. Lets go." Yuffie said with a sigh. Kairi wondered why she sighed, she soon found out. They walked into the most discusting alleyway she had everseen. Kairi wasnt sure if it was even Traverse Town, it was so dirty. They finally reached a small store with blinking lights that said, "Gore's Goods".

Once they walked in, a terrible smell hit them like a titlewave. It was so bad, Kairi had to pinch her nose for the smell to cease. The store was just as discusting as the alley, with gray, cement walls, and stuff all over the floor. Kairi looked at Yuffie and Aerith, whose eyes were watering. Behind the counter was the fattest man Kairi had ever seen. His belly spilled out of his shirt, and he looked like he had five chins.

"What do you want? I dont have all night." the man said. he looked at them, and settled his eyes on Kairi. He looked her up and down, and gave chills down her spine. He licked his lips, and turned to Yuffie.

"We need a weapon for her. Something more light weight." Yuffie said in an emotionless voice. He nodded, looked at Kairi one last time, and went to the back room. They all gasped for clean air, panting like they were just in a marathon.

"That guy is sick! He was checking me out!" Kairi said angrily.

"Oh, Gore? Yeah, real wacko. He checks every girl out. It discusting, but he seems to like you." Aerith explained. Kairi rinkled her nose in discust. Soon, the man named Gore weeled out of the backroom, holding a long maroon case. He set it on the dirty counter, and opened it up.

Inside was a beutiful blue and silver weapon. It started with a cresent moon with the edges pointing towards the end of the blade. The handle connected two bent beams that seemed to complete the moon. From the beams, three more round beams stood up verticaly for about two and a half feet. At the ends, the beams connected into a boomarang shape pointing downwards. The coolest part to Kairi was that one side of the blade was silver, while the other side was a sparkling baby blue that seemed to twinkle with her happiness. She was so happy, the smell seemed to go away.

"The Moonblade. It's light weight, 65 magic, 35 combat. The blue sparkles when showing great emotion, happiness, sadness, ...love." He raised his eye brows flirtatiously at Kairi, who looked down at the Moonblade.

"We'll take it."Aerith said putting down the munny, "Lets go." Kairi grabbed the Moonblade, and quickly followed Yuffie and Aerith to the door.

"Wait! She could have free lessons to learn how to use itwith me, alone." Gore said grinning, with a mischievous glimmer in his eye. Yuffie blew it, she finally cracked.

"Thank you very much sir. But i believe we have to decline you offer! So fuck off asshole!" Yuffie grabbed Aerith and Kairi's wrists and dragged them out the door. Once out side, Kairi felt like the need to gag.

"When we get back,... im giving talk to Leon about sending us alone." Yuffie said cracking her knuckles, "Im gonna kill him." Aerith and Kairi looked at eachother and shrugged.

----------------------------------------------------

When they arrived at the hotel, Yuffie went to give one of her 'tlaks' to Leon, while Aerith and Kairi told the story to Cloud, Cid, Donald and Goofy.

"Ugh! Im sorry we sent you guys alone to that place." Cloud said taking a sip of tea.

"Its okay, Cloud. Its not your fault he's sick." Kairi responded, patting his shoulder.

"Damn basterd." Muttered Cid under his breath.

"Hehe, i wonder what Sora would do to Gore if he was there?" Aerith said covering her mouth.

"Ha, he would be a murderer before he left the store." Cloud said half laughing. Everyone else laughed, and Kairi blushed, but she couldnt help but wonder why everyone was making jokes about when Sora will se her, or how He's going to become a murderer. He couldnt like her? Could he? Nah!

Kairi let out a giggle and then a ginormous yawn. She declared that she was going to bed,and walked to her room. She changed into a loose shirt, and plaid pants, and climbed into bed. She fell asleep slowly, thinking of the tiring, day's events.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Tomorrow we will comense Kairi's training with us and Merlin. It might take a few weeks, but she has a lot to learn.Agreed?" Leon said to the group. Everyone nodded in agreement, and went towards their rooms.

I hope Sora has a few weeks. Leon thought before he headed for his room.
