A/N: I know that the last chapter wasn't my best but oh well. There will be no more POV's unless needed, but there will be scene changes throughout the story. That is pretty much all I have to say.

Disclaimer: no, I do not own Kingdom Hearts, 'cept maybe the villains.

(recap)

I've got to find something to break the chains, she thought. Her gaze fell upon a small dagger Twilight left behind. Kairi's eyes lit up, and she smiled.

Unusual Discoveries

Kairi inched her way over to the table, and reached as far as she could to get the dagger. Her fingertips just reached the table, but that wasn't close enough to get the dagger. Then she had an idea. First Kairi knocked the table over, but stopped it at an angle so the dagger would slide off, and wouldn't hit the ground. The dagger fell into her hand, and she pushed the table back into its original position without a sound. She slid back to where she was before using the dagger.

She stuck the point of the dagger into the lock, and moved it around. Silently, she picked at the lock until she heard a soft click signaling that it was unlocked. Kairi was about to make a run towards the exit, but Twilight came in, so she stayed put. 'I guess I have to get past her to get out,' she thought as she shifted the dagger's position in her hand behind her back.

Twilight looked a little pale as she walked to the table. She had her back turned, and Kairi took the opportunity to stab Twilight with the dagger.

In The Forest

"Damn!" Sora yelled banging his fist against a tree. "We've been walking for hours, and we haven't gotten anywhere." Riku walked over and put his hand on his shoulder, "Hey, I know how upset you are. But we can't be sure where Twilight is hiding."

Then Selphie spoke up trying to lighten the mood, "Yea! She might be in another world." 'Shit, shouldn't have said that,' Selphie thought as she looked at Sora. She knew he loved Kairi, and didn't want to hurt him. She was the kind of person who usually didn't think before she said something, and then she ended up hurting someone. This time, it was Sora she hurt. "Sorry," Selphie said quietly. There was an awkward silence.

Sora slumped against the tree, and a tear trickled down his face. 'She has to be here. I know she is, I can feel it,' he thought to himself. He really could feel where she was, but nobody knew. Sora and Kairi shared a poupu fruit by the river before Twilight kidnapped her.

Suddenly, Riku turned around and took out the sword he had been hiding. "Someone's watching us," he said.

Sora got up, and took out his keyblade. Then a young female ninja jumped out and was about to attack, but she stopped at the sight of her friends. She landed silently, and stared in disbelief. "Sora? Is that you?" It was Yuffie.

In Twilight's Cave

Kairi jumped at Twilight, but wasn't fast enough. Twilight had already spun around and caught her in mid air. 'Wow, she's tall,' Kairi thought as she dangled in Twilight's grasp. Twilight smirked, "So, you thought you could kill me? I really would like to die, but I have to stay alive so I can deliver you to Him. If I don't, let's just say, I would have to go to someplace a lot worse than Hell."

"Him?" Kairi asked. "Who's Him?" 'And why does she want me to kill her?' she added mentally. Twilight squeezed Kairi wrist until she opened her hand and the dagger fell out. Then she dropped Kairi, sighed, and left. Kairi got up and followed, a little confused by what her captor had just done.

Twilight stopped, and so did Kairi. The tall girl turned and smiled slightly, "Okay, why are you following me?"

Kairi was a little taken aback by this question. "Um, I, uh," she stuttered, " I was wondering why you didn't put the chains back on me." Twilight rolled her eyes with an expression that said 'you should know the answer stupid'. She answered anyway, "Because you pose practically no threat to me."

"Okay, but you didn't tell me who 'Him' is," Kairi pushed.

Twilight sighed, "Quite the chatterbox aren't you? Oh well, I kind of like having some one to talk to. Don't worry, you will meet Him soon, providing your little friend doesn't come to the rescue." Kairi's eyes widened and thought, 'That means Sora is on his way.' Twilight turned the whole way to face Kairi and said, "Anyway, you better follow me to the dinning room, or you're going to get lost."

In The Forest

"It is you! And Riku! Wow, I never thought I would see you guys again. Especially in a place like this," Yuffie said as she hugged her old time friends, and completely ignored Selphie. Riku was practically being suffocated in Yuffie's grip, and Selphie was getting jealous from all the attention Riku was getting from Yuffie. "Nice to see you too," Riku managed to say. Then she saw him turning a little blue.

"Oh, oops, sorry," she said letting Riku out of her death grip. "It's just been so long since I've seen you. Oh, who's this?" Yuffie finally noticed Selphie standing behind them.

'If she's one of Sora and Riku's friends, then I might as well be nice,' Selphie thought while sighing. Then she put in her most friendly grin and said, "Hi, I'm Selphie. I'm one of their friends from Destiny Islands." They shook hands and Yuffie introduced herself as 'The Great Ninja Yuffie'. Selphie couldn't see what was so 'great' about her. Riku, and Sora were catching up on 'old times', while Selphie put in occasionally because she wasn't there during the whole incident.

After a while, they stopped and Yuffie said, "Hey guys, Aerth, Cloud, and Squ-I mean Leon are in a house nearby. I bet they'd be more than happy to see you again." Sora, Riku, and Selphie shrugged their shoulders in response, so they headed to the small cabin a few yards away.

A/N: I know this is a semi-short chapter, but it just felt like I should stop here. Anyway, I know I don't update often, so don't count on another chapter too soon. 'Kay? I hope this was a better chapter, and the story is getting a better for you readers out there. There will be some actual fighting soon, so bear with me till then. R&R
