Were Gonna Get Through This

Chapter twelve: Shai

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

Kairi jumped back away from the gothic like girl infront of herwho hada long staff, ready for battle. She had very short, light blue hair, like how Kairi's hair used to be a year ago, but shorter. She had purple eyes, with a glint of orange in them. Her face was very sharp but beautiful, and was full of determination and toughness. She had high, black boots that went all the way to her middle thigh. Purple laces lined the sides of her boots, while grayish-white tape wrapped around her midnight boots randomely. She wore white shorts that were snipped slightly on the sides, revieling more of her thigh. A purple belt hung around her waist with an indigo sack clung to it. Her top was a purple shirt with black laces that lined the edges and ended a few inches above her belly button. Down the middle of the top were laces connecting the twohalfs of the shirt. She wasnt all that tall, shorter than Kairi, but she seemed about seventeen or eighteen. She seemed very althletic because her tough legs, and deep curves; someone you didnt want to mess with. And thats exactly what they didnt want to do.

" Well, what are you doing here?" She repeated forsively. Her voice was very cool and controlled, like Riku's Kairi thought. Her teeth were clenched, and she was in a battle position. She was obviously some kind of guard. So Kairi didnt want any trouble.

" Nothing! We dont want any trouble." Kairi said. The girl narrowed her eyes, and inspected the four. Who are they? The girl thought. They arent from here, their too tall. But Im not sure if I can trust them. Suddenly, her face changed from fierce to shocked. She carries the Keyblade.Maybe I can trust them...She continued to search their souls, until she finally put away her staff and stood normally, but she still looked sharp and ready.

" Where are you from? I can tell you arent from here." She stated a little less dangerously. The girl decided not to ask about the Keyblade just yet. Kairi looked behind her to see her fearful companions. Donald seemed stiff, Goofy was chewing on his nails, and Roxas was eyeing the girl's staff, ready to wet his pants. She turned back to the girl.

" Is it really that obviously?" Kairi asked slyly grining. The girl smirked.

" Your too tall. Might want to think of that." The girl said. " Im Shai by the way." She said jirking her head upwards in a greeting fashion. A/N: You know like a half nod, but jirking the head upwards in a cool way:P

" Im Kairi, this is Donald, Goofy, and the kid there is Roxas." Kairi said smiling. Shai grinned. It was a little odd that she seemed to suddenly trust them. Maybe she's just friendly.

" You mean the kid about to shit his pants?" Shai said in her cool voice. Roxas twitched, and let out a small wimper. Kairi let out a small laugh as Shai walked up to Roxas and got in his face.

" What are you so scared about? I dont bite." Shai said as she snapped her teeth. Roxas fell to the floor fainting. Shai smirked and turned to Kairi.

" So Kairi, where are you guys from? I mean, what other world?" Shai asked. Kairi starred at her ina confused way.

" Wait...you know about other worlds?" Kairi asked.

" Yes, one of the few here. Troubling times are here, and there is only one person who can help." Shai said folding her arms and closing her eyes. " Its the Keyblade master. The one who can open the Door to Good Things. But weve waited and waited, and he hasnt found us. Were thinking of going out there and finding him if he doesnt come here soon." she paused, " But I'm guessing I found her."She sighed with her eyes still closed. Kairi stared at her in shock.

" Hehe, thats right, im the temporary Keyblade master. So, what do you need?" Kairi said scratching the back of her head. Shai opened her violet eyes again.

" I am glad that I finally found you. Like I said, we need your help." she said still staring at Kairi.

" But first, what do you mean 'us'? This world?" Kairi asked questionably. Shai sighed and motioned them to follow her. Roxas was now constious,and hesitantly followed. They walked down the endless road with all the houses silently.

" You see there? That sign?" Shai said pointing to a door to one house. The door had an upside-down, red peace sign painted on it. Kairi nodded. They stopped walking.

" Well those, along with many other people in this world, do not want to be with Addis." Shai said.

" What? Whats Addis?" Kairi asked. She was so confused! Was Sora this confused when he went to knew worlds? She then saw Shai walking down a dark alley that Kairi never noticed before. The alley reeked like rotton sausage, and the puddles on the floor were black from lack of light. She could hear droplets off water echo through the Alley way. It was definatly creepy, but Shai didnt seem to notice. Finally, Shai stopped at a large, red crate. She puched it with difficulty to the side. There was a small passege way, about as low as the door to the secret place. Shai crouched through, and soon disapeared into the darkness. Kairi looked at her friends hesitently, but they motioned her forward.

Kairi gulped and crouched down to the small space. She could hear Donald squeezing in behind her, but she kept going through. Finally, she saw a light ahead, so she hurried faster. She reached the light and entered a very luxurious room. There were purple pillows all over the ground, and there was a small table in the center. It was a huge relief to see another color other than red. There were few doors in the room, probably for bathrooms and such. Wait, whywas there purple?

" Shai? Why is every-" Kairi started, but Shai apeared out of no where and made Kairi jump.

" You scared me." Kairi said holding her hand to her heart. Shai just laughed merrily, and motionedthe pillowsto sit down on one of the pillows. She did so, as Donald, Goofy and Roxas climbed out of the hole. They all sat down in a circled on the purple pillows.

" Okay, let me explain." Shai started calmly. " You probably saw the other world next to this one. Its called Addis. These two planets are very different, and thats why years back, they split up into different worlds. To do this, they had to destroy the bridge, the purple one connecting them. Blue and red make purple, obviously, and it was used as a symbol for untiy. So, like I was saying, one day, they couldnt stand eachother, and destroyed the bridge. But before it was destroyed, a Purple member left one thing that might be the hope of bringing the two worlds together. And it is The Door to Good Things. And only you can open it. Oh, and by the way, I thought the Keyblade master was a male, that was the word of the worlds." Kairi tried to soak this all in, and nodded her head a few times.

" Umm... the real Keybearer in Sora, my best friend." Kairi started. She heard a cough come from Roxas but just ignored him. "But he is in real danger, and I have to save him. So for now, I am the Keyblade master until I find him and everything will be okay again." Shai nodded sadly.

" I am sorry. I had no idea he was in trouble, I dont know what I would do withought a close friend." Shai said nicely. Kairi blushed and put her hands on her face to cover it.

"Whats wrong?" she asked. Kairi shook her head.

" Hehe... you dont know the half of it." Kairi said. Shai nodded in understanding while smirking. They both let out a small giggle. Shai didnt seem like the giggling type, she was very confusing.

" Well, anyway, The Door to Good Things lies in the heart of Addis. But I cant get there. The bridge is destroyed. But I hope you know a way, Kairi." Shai said.

" Oh, umm... why do they need to be joined? Arent they happy?" Kairi asked. Shai sighed and closed her eyes.

" Things used to be okay. People were happy that they were seperated. Well, most of them anyway. See, I am part of the Purple Clan. We are the ones who are trying to bring them together, and we are the ones who know what exactly what is going on. See, odd things have been hapining. Dark creatures known as Heartless are spotted in dark corners. And people in black cloaks apear. But before we get to them, they are gone, just as quickly as they came. We dont know who they are, but we know they cant be good."

" We think that if the Door to Good Things is opened, they will go away. And leave us alone." Shai explained.

" What is in the Door of Good Things?" Roxas spoke up.

" We dont really know. All we know is that it will cure the gap of the bridge and bring peace to us." Shai answered smoothly.

" So...the reason you need to open it is to get rid of the Heartless and the Orginization, and use it as an exception to bring both worlds together?" Kairi asked, conculding the main idea.

" With a lack of words, yes. Oh, and I'm guessing the people in the black coats are called the Orginization?" Shai asked, propping her head on one of the pillows. They all nodded.

" Hey guys! Do you think that since the Orginization are here, Sora might be here, too?" Kairi asked hopefully. The idea blossomed through the room as everyone agreed.

" Hayuck! Your right! Lets go find him!" Goofy exclaimed, springing up.

" Not yet Goofy, you guys need rest and food. Plus, we still have to wait for the rest of the Clan anyways..." Shai said standing up. "I'll make you guys food." Kairi stared after her.

" But-but we have to find Sora! He could be right here in the city for all we know!" Kairi exclaimed despiratly. Shai sighed and turned around.

" Look, we will never be able to find him on our own. We need to wait for the rest of the clan until we can search for the door and the Keyblade master. For now, rest." Shai said sternly. Kairi nodded slowly as Shai walked into another room. Kairi laid down on the pillows and let out a deep yawn. Even if she was tired, she didnt want to wait. He could be right under their noses! But Shai was right, they needed back up, so why not rest?

Roxas yawned and lay next to her. Kairi pushed him away forsively, making him let out a little yell. But she didnt listen, she closed her eyes and fell into a very light sleep

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

" So... how are we going to do this?"

" Easy, remind you of your past."

"How?"

"Easy, reach into your pocket." Namine ordered simply. Sora gave her a questioning look, but shrugged and did as asked. He dug deep into his millions of pockets until he grasped something smooth. He furrowed his eyebrows and took it out of his pocket. There, in his hands was a necklace made of small, white shells. He couldnt grasp what it was exactly. The word wouldnt come to his head. Then he felt a piercing pain in his head, and craddled it with his hands, his eyes shut tight. Then almost like a movie played into his head.

Sora was sitting on a high dock over looking the sunset colored ocean. The breeze played with his hair, and his cobalt eyes watched the red head sitting next to him.

" Sora, dont ever change..." she said softly, her voice drifting with the breeze and into Sora's ears.

" Huh?" he asked dumbly. But Kairi didnt seem to notice as she stood up next to him, still staring out at the sunset. Her silky hair fluttered in the breeze, and her hands were behind her back inocently.

" Dont ever change." Kairi repeated softly, even though she knew he heard her. Sora's puzzled look turned to a softer, and trusting face.

" Dont worry, I wont. I dont want to anyways." Sora said, putting his hands behind his head casually and making his goofy smile. Kairi let out a small giggle. Sora always knew his smile was the perfect cover-up for something awkward or sad. But this wasnt awkward or sad, it was something he couldnt explain. It almost felt like hewas saying good-bye.

A good-bye to what? He didnt know then, but being there felt so right, with Kairi. He couldnt help but smile and turn back to the ocean. Finally, the word came to his head that discribed this time, it was pacific. Very tranquil so... right.

" Here Sora. Remember I was making a necklace before? It was a thalassa shell necklace, A/N: Okay, i have no idea how to spell that. I want you to have it. You know... for good luck and all." Kairi said blushing, handing it out to him. Sora stared at it dumbly, and then looked at a red Kairi and smiled.

" Thanks Kai." he said taking it from her hand. His skin brushed against her palm that made a light blush form on his cheeks. too. She just smiled in return.

" Hehe...your welcome. Just dont lose it, its good luck!" Kairi giggled as she walked away, leaving a happy fourteen-year old boy behind.

The vision stopped, so he opened his eyes to find him self laying down on the floor, his hands clutching his headand he was panting heavily. He felt kind of stupid in that position, so he sat up slowly and looked at Namine.

" Well?" she asked. Sora had no words at the moment. He looked down at the white-shelled necklace and grasped onto it tightly onto his hand.

"That was mine wasnt it? I mean the memory." he said softly. Namine nodded her head. Sora bit his lip and looked back at the polished necklace. He opened the fastener, and pulled in around his neck. He snapped it back on, so the he was now wearing the necklace loosly around his neck. It stuck out slightly with his almost all black attire, but he didnt mind. He felt a small warmth sweep through him. Namine was smiling pleasantly now.

" So, whats next?"

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

A lovely aroma filled Kairi's lungs as her eyes fluttered her eyes open. She looked around wearily, trying to straighten her bed-head hair. The same room with purple pillows met her eyes, as she saw Shai walk in with a tray of food. Kairi yawned and crawled to the low table. Goofy, Donald, and Roxas were all a sleep on the pillows.

" Hehe...your right, we were tired. How long have I been out?" I asked as she set the tray of food on the table. It was a thick, creamy soup that looked dilicious. She licked her lips.

" I dont know, about half an hour. Oh, go ahead, dig in." she answered. Withought hesitation, she dug her spoon into the thick liquid. She savored the smell before she stuck it into her mouth. But the taste wasnt at all like the lucious smell, it tasted like spinach and eggs. A/N: I hate those foods... Kairi almost spit it out, but she was so hungry. So she slowly swallowed the nasty soup and cringed as she felt it settle into her stomach. But instead of having relief of having food in her belly, it almost made her more hungry. Odd.

She dug her spoon in it and took another vile sip. Once she swallowed it, the same sensation of hunger grew. Like the food was a acid and spilling out all the food from her body.

" Umm...this isnt that satisfying. It makes me even more hungry. Not to mention it tastes nasty." Kairi stated staring at the food infront of her, some reason, food didnt seem to apealing then. Shai stared at her in puzzlement and then realized something.

" Oh of course! Im so stupid! That is Minis food, it makes you less hungry. But for the people here, it fills them up like regular food does for you." Shai said chuckling. " Sorry, I'll change that for you." She reached into herindigo sackand pulled out a small vile filled with blue powder. She carefully poured it into the soup, and mixed it up. Imediately, the soup turned white, and a not so pleasant smell reached Kairi's nostril's. Shai stared at Kairi who was cringing at the horrible smell. It didnt seem much better than the first one.

" Well, arent you going to eat it?" she asked. Kairi hesistantly nodded her head. She didnt want to be rude so she took a scoop of the soup and put it into her mouth. Suddenly, the rotton smell was forgotten, and a wave of flavor pleased her taste buds. It tasted so delicious! She needed more! She frantically dug her spoon in and ate more. She repeated it until the bowl was empty. She looked at Shai expectantly, but she shook her head.

" This is Addis food, it fills you up. But it is so dilicious, people want more and more of it, and finally, their stomachs pop. Both foods are dangerous, one for starvation, and one for over eating. You will have to get used to it. And plus, if you eat too much of it, you'll get fat." Shai answered Kairi's un spoken question.

" Wow, this is weird." Kairi said, rubbing her tummy.

" Only to you guys. But for the locals, its like regular food. Things are very different between both worlds. You see, Minis is about subtracting and decreasing. Addis is adding and gaining and getting more. You probably noticed that when you were walkingthe pathway, the shortcut was shorter because here, the shorter you walk, the farther you go. In Addis, the longer the distance, the farther you go. Thats why people are so short here, and people are tall in Addis. Also the money is different, here, everything is so cheep, its negative. In Addis, everything is expensive. Another odd thing for you guys, in Addis, the richer you are, the higher you are respected. In Minis, the poorer you are, the more your respected." she explained. Well that clears up a lot...

" So short cuts are good here and bad in Addis, thats freaky." Roxas said suddenly. It made Kairi jump, she didnt know he was awake. But she soon recovered. Goofy and Donald started to stir, and Shai explained everything to them also.

"Gwarsh...I'm confused." Goofy said rubbing his head. Kairi also felt a little confused aswell. Shai was about to open her mouth to explain for the third time, but her words were cut off from a sudden loud horn, blowingthrough the room. Shai turned to them quickly.

" Trouble! Must be the heartless! Lets go!" Shai said dashing out the small hole, with the others following closely behind. They finally made it out of the hole and ran out of the allyway. Their eyes widened as a sudden darkness overwelmed them.
