Disclaimer: nope…still don't own it…

Preparations

"Hey Kairi?" Sora asked.

"Hmm?" she said. They were currently cuddled next to each other, leaning against the tree and looking up at the night sky. Selphie and Riku were already asleep.

"Are you sure you'll be fine for tomorrow?" he asked. The auburn haired girl sighed.

"Yes Sora. I should be asking you if you're okay with going there. I know you're not really fond of Twilight," she said.

"I'm fine. It's just that I can't help but think it was her idea to kill my parents. I had always thought it was all her idea, but now I find out that someone's trying to control her. It's just a bit much to swallow so soon, but I'll believe you Kai," he told her. She smiled softly and cuddled into him more for warmth.

"Thank you so much Sora. For everything," she said. She drifted off into unconsciousness in Sora's arms and he smiled at her sleeping form. He kissed the top of her head.

"I love you Kairi," he whispered before he too slipped into a light sleep.

Twilight flinched as she tried to get up. Fayte pushed her friend back down with her good arm.

"Stay still. These are going to take longer to heal than before. You need to rest Twilight," she said quietly. She wasn't her usual hyper self, and it made the atmosphere of the room seem even gloomier than it was. Twilight sighed and let the blonde work her magic.

"Fine…I'm happy though. Because Kairi got away I mean," she said. Fayte smiled a bit.

"Yeah. That's good. But what if she comes back. You know, to help us, or something. She always wanted to help people in need back home," she said. She moved her one hand over the open wounds on Twilight's back with her hand glowing a soft green. Her other arm lay still healing in a sling. The dark haired woman winced a little as the wounds started to close.

"That would be nice of her, but she wouldn't be able to beat our master," she said.

"By herself she wouldn't. But what if she brought along the keyblade master? And her other friends too? They'd be strong enough then, right?" Fayte said.

"Maybe. But I don't know how strong they are, so they still might not stand a chance. Damn these power limiters. If only I could take them off. I'd have gotten out of here long ago," Twilight muttered.

"Yeah, but then we'd have never been able to help Kairi," Fayte told her.

"True. But if she does come, let's hope it's after tomorrow night," Twilight said. The blonde nodded grimly. She finished her work with Twilight wounds and got up to leave.

"Rest some more. They aren't completely healed; so try not to move too much okay? I'll check up on you later," she said. Twilight nodded her head ever so slightly that most would have missed it. Fayte didn't. She smiled a little and left the room.

"Please don't let Kairi come here tomorrow night," Twilight prayed.

During the night Kairi and Sora had slept together, still cuddling against the trunk of the tree, and Selphie and managed to somehow squirm her way over to Riku who put his arms around her protectively. This had all happened when the two were asleep, so imagine their surprise when they woke up face to face.

Kairi and Sora were the first two up and saw Selphie and Riku lying there together.

"Aww…they look so cute," Kairi whispered.

"Yeah, but I wonder how that happened," Sora whispered back. She giggled quietly.

"Selphie moves around in her sleep sometimes. She's fallen off the bed at the dorms about seven times already, before this all happened," she told him. He nodded and smiled.

"That sounds just like her," he said. Kairi giggled again. Sora kissed her on the cheek and they cuddled some more before Selphie awoke next.

At first she kept her eyes closed and snuggled deeper into the warmth that was holding her. Finally she opened her eyes and found herself staring at a chest. Her eyes widened, slowly getting bigger as they trailed up to the face, which was Riku's. By that time, her eyes were as big as saucers and her face was red as a cherry. She was speechless, and couldn't move, not that she wanted to really. She regained her senses finally and settled for waking Riku up by poking him so she could get up.

"Riku…" she called softly. She poked his chest, seeing as her arms seemed to be stuck there at the moment and that's just where her hands were.

"Riku…" Poke. Nothing.

"…Riku?" Poke…nope, still nothing. She pouted as he remained sleeping. She sighed.

"Riku." Poke. Still asleep.

"…Riiikuuu?" Poke, poke. He stirred…and went back to sleep. She sighed again in frustration.

" …Riku!" Jab. Still nothing. 'God, he sleeps like a log!' she thought. She readied herself for another poke, or jab.

"Riiikuu!" Jab.

"Ow!" Success!

"Took you long enough to get up. Jeez, you sleep like a log," Selphie told the platinum blonde. He gave her a confused look.

"And you're this close to me why?" he asked.

"I should be asking you that. You're the one holding me here. I just woke up with you holding me. Now, I can't really get up, so could you please let go?" she asked nicely. Riku blushed a bit and let go, now aware of where his arms were. Selphie was still a bit flushed as she stood up and her face darkened five shades when she saw Kairi and Sora smiling at her and Riku. Riku looked up and turned the same shade as the brunette girl.

"I…he…we were just…I didn't…we didn't…gah!" Selphie shouted, too flustered to speak properly. Kairi smiled and giggled again.

"Yeah. Sure Selphie. We all know you have 'secret urges' to be with Riku," she teased. Selphie's face turned even redder with that comment.

"I do not! I move around in my sleep and you know that Kairi!" she shouted.

"Nothing happened. We just woke up like that okay?" Riku said relatively calm, but his face still red.

"Okay. We believe you. Just don't make up excuses when you guys want to cuddle together next time," Sora said, smirking. Riku tried to send him his best glare, but failed miserably with the blush still stretching across his face. Sora and Kairi laughed.

They got breakfast ready and ate. They caught up with each other, and told Kairi that they had seen Leon and the others. This gave Kairi an idea.

"Hey, you know how I said Twilight's master was really powerful? Well, I was thinking that we may need some more people than just us," she suggested.

"Hey good idea!" Selphie said.

"It won't work though. We're almost a day's walk from where we met them, and it would take too long to get them. If your friends were the ones to let you go, we'd better help them soon because I don't think they're master is a very generous person," Riku stated. Kairi sighed.

"Yeah, okay," she said. It was up to them then. She hoped they were powerful enough to beat this person, whoever he was. Sora put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her. Suddenly they heard leaves from a bush across the clearing rustle, and they all stiffened. A short black haired girl fell out of the bush onto her stomach. She sat up rubbing her head.

"Owie…" Yuffie said. She looked up and saw the group staring at her. "Uh…hi…?"

"Yuffie?" Kairi said, getting up and walking over to the other girl.

"Kairi! I thought…Sora said you got kidnapped! What are you doing here?" the ninja asked.

"They let me go because they were my childhood friends! We're going back though to free them from their master," Kairi told her.

"Really! When are you going?" Yuffie asked.

"As soon as we can," Selphie said as she got over there.

"We were actually about to leave when you got here," Sora said.

"Oh, oops…sorry," Yuffie said, rubbing the back of her head.

"That's okay, but we need to get going," Riku cut in. Yuffie nodded and started to walk away when Sora spoke again.

"Hey Yuf? Could you tell Leon and the others to expect us when we're coming back, and with two new members?" he asked. She grinned.

"I will. Good luck you guys. We'll be waiting," she said, and then jumped off.

"Well that was a short visit," Selphie said.

"But it was nice to see her," Kairi said. Selphie shrugged, and picked up her things. Everyone picked up their things and cleaned up their makeshift camp before they finally headed out. Kairi really hoped Twilight and Fayte were all right.

A/N: done! Sorry it's short, but I wanted this to be a bit of a filler chapter, I guess. Plus there's lots of cute fluffiness in this! Please review peoples!
