Sora pealed his body from the floor of the water vessel, which had previously been thrown from the sky into a whole new world of confusion.
"Everyone okay?" He shouted, "Everyone's here, right?" pulling himself further from the cold floor of the boat, his eyes caught glimpse of what seemed to be Riku laying above Namine, making out with her even.
"It's not what it looks like Sora" Riku apologized. "Unfortunately." The silver haired boy rolled from Namine's position. Sora ran over to Namine's unconscious body, muttering something along the lines of perversion.
"She's out cold" The keyblade wielder confirmed as he checked the pulse of her neck. As he looked upward, he caught sight of a new entity. An entity that was not in the presence of the four back at mountain peaks. "Riku! Watch out, Kairi's transformed into a guy!"
"Woah! Be quiet a second, I've been a guy all I can remember!" The strange boy shouted back at the two, sorting out his long red coat from under his kneeling legs. "Whom are you talking about? What are you doing here?"
Riku answered his questions swiftly "We simply don't know. Have you seen a young girl with redish brown hair? She should be with us." His calm composure showed no signs of worry for the lack of Kairi.
The black haired, red coat-wearing boy stood up onto his feet, revealing both black trousers and a lack of a shirt. However uncommon it was for Riku and Sora to see the boy wearing no shirt, both of them found more of a shock from the fact that he was wearing a set of chains across his muscle-filled chest in an X-shape. "Sorry, I've seen nobody but you for weeks." He knelt back down to pick up a red-jewelled earing, inserting it into his left ear. Afterwards moving over to the two confused-looking boys. "I'm Rai."
"Why are you telling us your name? It's not like we need it…" Sora stated plainly.
"Well, it would be awfully awkward not knowing my name to thank me when I save your sorry ass." Rai stuck his tongue out at the annoyed Sora.
Riku stood up, "Do you know where we are? Perhaps you can help. We have to find Kairi, before she's hurt." He sorted his clothes out, pulling his sleeveless shirt till it was neat. "And you can cut the sass, Smartass"
"This world is Sanctuary Harbour, a world of water with a small man-made town. Though recently it has grown unstable, and is on the brink of collapsing. I've been here for two weeks, since my world was destroyed," Rai looked down in pain. "Since then, I've been looking for a way to stop these worlds from doing the same."
The silver haired warrior began to sympathise with the new member of the group. "You realize the only way to do that is to close the keyhole. Right?" Rai began to shake his head. Riku Sighed. "And the only way to do that is with the Keyblade."
"The Keyblade? I don't have one of those" He pounded his hand with his other fist.
Sora jumped up. "Lucky that you found us then, isn't it?" At this point Rai startled with both confusion and excitement. "I'm Sora, the Keyblade wielder. This is Riku, the one who wields the Soul Eater."
The two shook hands with Rai. "What's wrong with this one?" He enquired, pointing to Namine's body.
"She's out cold," Sora stated.
"Oh! Great, I know a family remedy for a cold," Rai gloated.
Riku punched the new arrival in the shoulder playfully. "She's unconscious, Wise-ass."
"Ah, I have a little idea," Rai walked out to the deck, returning with a bucket. He then proceeded to throw the newly attained contents of said bucket over Namine's body.
Namine woke with a start. "Ack! That's cold!" She shouted, "what are you doing? Wait, who are you?"
