Chapter 26: Kairi's Magic Spell Prank
Kairi ran down the shore on the island, heading towards the smaller island. Riku and Sora were already there sparring against one another as they usually did.
"Sora! Riku!" she shouted as she finally neared them.
The two stopped their spar and waved to her.
"Hi Kairi!" Sora said.
"We've been wondering when you'd show up," Riku added.
Kairi grinned. "Sorry! I've been busy lately. Working on some new things."
Sora looked curious. "What kind of new things?"
Kairi put her hands behind her back as she swapped back and forth. "Oh you know the usual magical stuff."
"Did you learn a new spell?" Riku asked.
The grin Kairi had grew a little wide. "Oh I did. I learned a fun new spell."
"Do we get to see it?" Sora asked.
"Of course!" Kairi clasped her hands together. "That's why I came to see you guys."
Sora leaned in a little closer. "So you going to tell us what the new magic spell is?"
"Hmm, how about I just show you guys? I think that'll be real fun," Kairi said with a laugh.
"Yeah! Show us! I wanna know already!"
Riku shrugged. "Sure why not."
Kairi cracked her knuckles as she took a step back. With a wide smile she raised her hands up, letting the magi swirl around them. The glow grew stronger as Kairi muttered the magical words that Riku and Sora couldn't understand. She then waved her hands in front of the boys and the magic surrounded them, flooding over them.
When the magic faded Sora blinked, letting his eyes adjust. He looked around, wondering what had changed, and then he saw Riku. He covered his mouth, trying not to let out his laugh.
"Riku! You look like a girl!"
Sora gasped. "M-My voice?"
Riku turned to look at him, his eyes just as wide. "You too…" his voice soft, just as hesitating when speaking.
In front of them Kairi was laughing loudly, hunched over as she held her stomach. Oh my gosh you guys! Or should I say you girls! You both look adorable!"
"K-Kairi?" Sora asked. "This was your magic?!"
"Hee hee, yup!" Kairi grinned.
"Why didn't you tell us!" Riku shouted.
Kairi held her mischievous grin. "Because it was a fun surprise! Come on! You look too cute!"
Riku pointed as he crossed his arms. "It's not funny. Change us back."
"Nah not yet," Kairi said as she pulled out her phone. "I gotta show this to Aqua! She'll love this!"
"No way! You can't show her!" Sora shouted. "Somehow Vanitas will end up seeing it and then I'll never hear the end of it!"
Kairi looked at him, tilting her head slightly. "But don't you remember that Aqua did the same magic spell to Vanitas?"
"Y-Yeah but that's not the point! He'll make so much more fun of me than I did to him!"
"Can you please just change us back, Kairi?" Riku pleaded.
"Hmm," Kairi hummed. "Nah! Not yet!"
With yet another laugh, Kairi snapped another picture and turned to run off. "I am sharing this with everyone! They all need to see how cute you two are!"
"Kairi!"
"Kairi wait, come back!"
Sora and Riku chased after Kairi, running all the way to the other side of the island. She had to come to a stop eventually. Sora and Riku tried to pick up their pace, slowly gaining on Kairi just as she reached the wall of trees and bushes at the far side of the island.
"Kairi you gotta change us back. This isn't funny," Sora shouted.
"Aw, are you sure? Come on. Your names fit perfectly! Aren't Sora and Riku also girls' names?"
Sora pouted. "Yeah but that's not the point!"
"Besides… it would be Riku with two k's for the girl version," Riku muttered softly under his breath.
"Okay, whatever you say Sora and Rikku," Kairi giggled.
Riku sighed. "You aren't going to change us back anytime soon, are you?"
"Nope! We need to have fun with it first. I'll only change you back if you do some fun things with me," Kairi replied.
Riku and Sora gave each other hesitant looks. They had a good feeling what it was, and they both felt dread. They had seen the pictures of Ventus, Terra and Vanitas. Kairi no doubt was going to do the same that Aqua had done.
But if Kairi was true to her word and would change them back after, maybe they could suffer it just for a little bit.
Maybe…
"So we really gotta do this?" Sora asked.
"Yes!" Kairi declared. "We need to make the most of this! Xss cause you two are jus too cute!"
Both Riku and Sora blushed, lowering their heads. Kairi laughed happily while they sighed. This truly was going to be a long day for them.
