"Come on this is even weird for you?" I cried flabbergasted. I was sitting on the edge of the mettle bench on the gimmie ship and there was a little chocolate brown lion cub weaving itself around my legs. He was head butting as he went, then he'd run his body along where he headbutted before weaving to then do the same to the other leg, an all the while purring a deep load purring emanating from deep within his chest.

"You really can't do anything?" I asked Donald who had his arms crossed and was looking quite smug as he watched the interaction from the other side of the gummi ship.

"He seems to like ya." Goofy said with a chuckle as he leaned closer to the ground so he could be more eye level with Sora and pet him before he gave him a good scratch behind the ear. Yea even more than usual when in a lion form, I wanted to say but held out on saying. Sora ate up the attention and started weaving himself around both Goofy and me.

Donald said something and like always It just sounded like noises that only had some resemblance of noises that sounded slightly like a word. Every time I'm around this duck it made me wish there was such thing as a subtitle spell. I don't know how Sora understands him. When I don't respond Donald lets a rapid-fire of the words that only sound like him spitting his saliva all over the place mixed in with random noises that involve screeching, however, there is one thing I understand.

He's angry.

I think I can only pick up on this emotion from him or my other theory is this is the only emotion the duck has. Goofy takes his attention away from Sora and stands up to help Donald, who in his fit of rage went to kick the bucket of the enchanted mop that felt the need to mop my ship. Only for the bucket to be lighter (The mop just threw the bucket getting water everywhere as well as when it dunked itself in the bucket also made more water go everywhere.) the angry duck not paying attention to the mop beforehand resulting in Donald kicking said bucket causing it to fly up into the air. Dumping all water that remained in the bucket to douse Donald who then slips in the water landing on his rump before the bucket lands on him putting insult to injury. I start cackling, even Sora was making sort of half roaw noises in lion laughter.

Goofy bless his heart wasn't laughing and was trying to help the now furies duck, who was so angry he refused Goody's hand to help him up and tried to get up himself with violent actions that made him fall and slip even more on the wet slippery surface.

Sora was rolling on the floor with his paws holding his stomach while I was wiping away stray tears from my laughter. "He said that there's nothing he can do to correct the world spell but it will wear off." Goofy hollered over the duck's screams.

Dame that duck's cholesterol must be dangerously high was my first thought then my second thought was if it would eventually fix its self then Sora would be okay. Glancing at Sora who not one's sense had the spell malfunction did not seem worried about possibly being a lion forever.

Welp, I wish they had told me this information before I flew me and Sora's gummi ship out here for no apparent reason besides getting the duck mad. Goofy had gotten Donald out of the ship eventually with the help of the cleaning mop which made him angrier. When the mop and Donald were gone a few short minutes Goofy returned with his goofy grin on his face. "Well like I said it will wear off so noth'n to worry about. If I were you I would just take him home and have him stay over at your place for a while." Goofy looked to Sora who was distracted by a stray butterfly that flew through the open hatch and held up his hand and whispered. "Just between you and me, I think if you tried to leave for your place, he'd follow ya."

"Yea, with animal instincts and behaver he's a very lovable demanding cat," I said back with a short laugh shared between us. Shooing the butterfly out and ones I thanked are friends I went to the driver's seat with Sora on my heels. Literally he was walked right under my feet as a regular house cat would do. Sitting down Sora jumped onto my lap and curled up as he started purring loudly.

I didn't know what to do with myself, I froze my body in the center of the seat stiff and I didn't know what to do with my hands but trying to not make it obvious I put both hands on the stirring wheel looking more robot than human at the moment. To seem to be more relaxed I had the thought of letting my hand rest near Sora.

Eventually, my hand lay resting on Sora's shoulder Sora purred loader which I did not think was possible, not even opening his eyes ones. Sora was always openly affectionate but this level he was showing me while he was a cat made me wonder if Sora was actually into Kairi, then my mind went to it's probably because he is a lion so that equaled with me not knowing how to handle the whole situation.

That is how I ended up in this situation.

Laying on my bed so tired from our long drive back home than to be bombarded with our friends from the island crowding Sora and me.

Them taking so many selfies with him claiming he was the cutest lion cub ever. With my fingers and thumb over my closed eyelids I hear a loud purr above me to my left. Before I know it a small body of brown fur pounces my arm nocking my arm to lie beside my head as Sora starts playfully biting at my white wrist band.

He is very gentle with his claws and teeth and purring yet at the same time it sounded like a playful growl at the same time. I can't help but chuckle at Sora's antics.

Forgetting all my past actions and my confusing feelings toured Sora I moved to lay on my side and made growling-type noises back as I play fight with him with one hand as my other arm supported my head. Pushing Sora over I give him a belly rub as he pulls and yanks at my wrist wrap.

Letting myself go with the flow I put my face up to his nose and kiss his big cold wet lion nose as he is busy being the predator, he is in this form and continues to kill my wrist band.

He didn't even notice.

I felt like I could be more lovable to Sora in this form because well he was an overgrown cat. So therefore Kairi and Sora won't have another thing to add to the list of do we really want this guy for a friend list.

Sora stops biting my wrist band letting go with both his paws that he had wrapped around my arm and scurries away to dart into the blankets that were nearby.

Man, I wish now I was also in lion form to romp around as lion cubs. The lump under the blanket moved more to my feet as I realized too late as he moved to pounce my pants leg. Biting my pants leg, he gives a growl shaking his head to then pull my leg a little from where it was previously. I sat up quick and Sora let go with a trill sound and jumps off the bed to dive under it. Playing a game of sort of keep away while I try to doge Sora as he tries to sneak up on me using all stuff in the rooms to his advantage. Sadly, for him, I was blindfolded for a while so he could not sneak up on me very easily but there were a few times he surprised me.

Popping out from seeming nowhere and pouncing to do a sort of tag as he would put his paw on my arm or would snatch clothing with his teeth the quickly yank a little then just as quickly release it.

Flopping onto the bed once again calling the game quits. "All right, that was fun but I'm done!" I called out to him to his hiding spot. laying down on my bed on my back.

Slowly Sora waddles out from his hiding spot and walks over to my bed and jumps up onto it. Tripping a little bit, he trots over to me and he throws himself onto my gut.

"Oof!" I wheeze out in pain as Sora lands on me making me hold my gut in pain. "Sora what the hell? You may be small but you are still heavy man." I complain

rolling onto my stomick after the pain subsided.

I feel Sora climb onto my back Just over my shoulder I see Soras's head came into view. His blue eyes were surrounded by lion gold where the white would normally be. He rolled his head so that his muzzle was squished against my shoulder he let out an adorable meow just a tad deeper.

"I don't understand lion speak. Sorry" I said with the sorry being chipper to aggravate him.

He growled a complaint as he moved to climb my head as he pushed my long hair more into my face. "What are you doing?" I asked. To which Soras head came into view upside down from my point of view above me giving me an eye roll of I thought you could not understand me with a little lion smirk.

I chuckle rolling over so he falls off my back so I can lay on my back. I Pick up Sora from under his arms and holding him so he was face to face with me I say, "I wonder how you say cat in French." With a horrible French accent. We both laugh with Soras's laugh sounding more like a cross between a cough and a purr.

Sora purrs loudly as he squirms in my hold to then make his way to my face and rub his head against my cheek as I held him in a loss grip in shock. Not knowing what to do with that reaction and also tiered I put him down gently onto the bed getting hit even more with how tired I was. With my eyes drooping closed, I heard sora as he purred loudly into my ear his forehead up against my cheek. Not thinking I tilted my head to kiss his forehead good night before my eyelids drooped closed as I drifted off to sleep. I registered Sora curling up beside my shoulder as he lay at the crook of my neck laying a paw over to rest on my collarbone.

I wake up to a soft kiss on my forehead as my sleep-hazed mind starts to realize that there are two strong arms wrapped around my torso. My brain is shocked into stupidness when I open my eyes to see Sora and I hear him say. "We both like each other a lot so let's date. That means now you can be affectionate with me in this form too." I want to ask how but my brain is still offline at the moment but Sora seems to see my confusion. He answering it with, "When in lion form, I can smell emotions including your emotions of love."
