Chapter 4: Disgusting, Repulsive…

What the Hell!

After deciding that one ship was too small for five people, Tai and I flew right behind Sora's ship. Because there was only one chair in her ship, I laid on her bed near the back. This made the trip quiet except for the occasional Heartless ship that got in the way.

"You guys still with us?" Sora's voice came over the intercom.

"Yup." Tai answered.

"We have something on our screen that we can't get any info on. Do you guys have anything?"

Tai leaned to her right, "I've got nothing. You sure you're not just picking up a large meteor?"

There was silence then a sound of something crashing.

"Hey, you there?" Tai said.

I got up and stood next to her, "What happened?"

"I'm not sure, I can still see their ship but—"

"What is that?!" I cut her off. "It looks like a whale!" There was a huge whale that just appeared in front of Sora's ship.

Tai didn't say a word; she just went to pushing buttons and flipping switches again.

"Sora! Donald! Goofy! Can you hear me?!" I yelled into the intercom.

"It's going to eat us!" Donald's voice finally came.

"Oh great…" I said.

"He's right! It's going to swallow both of us!" Tai yelled.

The whale came up again and turned towards us, and its mouth was open. "Can't you dodge it?!"

"Not without killing us!" Tai braced herself, "Hold onto something!"

I grabbed onto her chair, "I never thought I would become fish food!"

"Hey wake up!" Tai's voice rang out. "Get you butt up!"

I opened my eyes, and Tai was shaking me again, "De ja vu."

"Shut up." Tai said and sat down.

I sat up, "I feel gross." I looked around and saw that we were in the whale's mouth. "Now I know why…" I immediately stood up. The 'ground' was warm and soft, and it made me feel sickish. "Where's Sora?"

She pointed to across the mouth were there was a ship. Sora, Donald, Goofy, something that looked like a puppet, and an old man were talking.

"Do we have to be here?" I moaned.

"We might as well; there might be a reason for being here."

"There's always a reason for everything…" I said full of sarcasm.

Before she could make any smart remarks Sora was yelling our names and waving at us. "I guess he wants us." She sighed. Then she stood.

I stood, feeling the mushiness of the whales' mouth. As we walked I could feel myself sink in like on a brand new carpet. Only you didn't like the feel of sinking so low into the floor. Trying to stay out of the 'water' we made it over to everyone.

"So these are your friends?" the old man asked Sora.

"Yup, this is Kyde and Tai. They were in a different ship but were swallowed anyway. Guys this is Gepetto." Sora said.

"Well, Pinocchio was talking to himself earlier about some way out, but when I asked what he was doing he said 'nothing' and ran off before I could see if he was lying." Gepetto shook his head, his face seemed worn.

"Well would you like us to ask him?" Goofy asked.

Gepetto seemed to be brightened by this, "Yes that would be wonderful. You're his friends so he should listen and tell you. Pinocchio!" Gepetto yelled. No answer came, "Pinocchio!?" he yelled again. "Where did he go?"

"Don't worry, we'll look for him." Sora offered.

I sighed at this, he always jumped into things. That must be because of his heart… he was chosen to be the KeyBlade Master. So I just shrugged, "Sure, we can do that."

Tai seemed to look at me the same way I started to look at Sora, always jumping into things. "Fine."

"Thank you, he should be around here somewhere. He doesn't go far." Gepetto said.

"Ok we'll be back." Sora said and turned to leave.

We left Gepetto and went to the hole in the 'wall' that was the only way out other then the mouth. Inside the color changed to a dark blue-ish color with dots all over the place. If you ask me it was way gross!

Everyone started off towards another hole then we're stopped by a voice, a familiar voice. "Well, well, fancy seeing you here. Sora." We looked up above us, Riku stood with a puppet, I'm taking it that that was Pinocchio.

"Riku! Man where have you been?" Sora asked.

"So you do care about me." Riku crossed his arms.

"What are you talking about?" Sora seemed confused.

"Let's have a race." was his reply.

"Riku? Enough of this, come down here."

"So you're too good to play with us now that you have the KeyBlade?"

"What?"

"Riku stop!" I yelled.

Riku seemed to see me for the first time, like he didn't see me. "Kyde?! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be..?" he stopped himself.

"What? Be where? What are you talking about?" I asked.

Riku just shook his head and ran off with Pinocchio into another hole.

"Riku!" Everyone but Tai yelled.

Sora started to run towards the landing where Riku once stood, I grabbed his shoulder to stop him. He did stop and looked at me. "I'll go after him, if this is indeed the inside of a whale then everything has to connect and go to the same place. If we split up then we can corner him." I said still holding his shoulder.

He gave me a serious face and nodded, then turned as I let go and looked at Donald and Goofy. "Let's split up, come on!" Sora ran through the door that we were intentionally going to go through.

Donald and Goofy ran after him and I looked at Tai, "Well I guess it's you and me again."

She nodded and we ran towards the landing.

۞۞۞۞۞۞۞

"Man he can run fast, either that or he fell in some goopy hole somewhere." I sighed as Tai and I walked around the same place for the fifth time. "I thought that this would all end up in the same place."

"We're lost." Tai said bluntly.

"I know we're lost!" I snapped, "Why else would we be in this place over and over again?"

Tai shrugged, "Maybe were not, and it all looks the same."

I seemed to sink lower, "Then we're even more lost then I thought."

Tai just sighed, "Well let's go this way." She stopped and pointed to the left.

I just shrugged and walked towards where she was pointing. She didn't follow me and when I looked back to ask why I took a step into thin air. I screamed as I fell forwards for several feet and landed on my face. The mushiness of the ground saved my neck but made me nearly puck.

I could hear Tai hold in a laugh, 'Well at least I know she has a since of humor.' I thought to myself as I removed my face from the ground. I sat on my foot and looked up, "Thanks for the warning!"

Tai jumped down and landed on her feet, "At least we know that we haven't been this way. Otherwise you would have known about the drop."

"It was something to be informed of before I walked over it." I sneered.

She just smiled, and then looked around.

"Were now Sherlock?" I asked.

She gave me a wired look.

"Never mind…" I stood up. "Lets try this way." I said just walking to the left, then fell again, only farther. "YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME NO!" I yelled from the bottom.

۞۞۞۞۞۞۞

After about three more of those and the feeling just short of a broken nose, we found out that there was a large canyon type thing inside of this whale. That had one doorway leading out, and since I didn't feel like trying to climb up I just walked onward. Making sure that Tai was in front of me from now on.

On the other side of the doorway, there was a small room with what looked like a place for another hole in the middle of the floor. Only it was closed and didn't seem like it would open just by mere weight. Tai stopped right in front of the hole and looked at it. I went around her to look at the room. It was different from the others; it was pink in color with no dots on the walls. It was way more soft then the others too. I tried not to think the worst about where we could be, I didn't really want to know.

After holding down what ever was in my stomach, I turned to look at Tai, who was still looking at the 'hole' in the floor. Walking over to her, I felt something strange coming, like it was familiar but I've never felt it before. I stopped and put my hand to my forehead. I felt dizzy, and then my legs seemed to disappear from feeling. I started to fall backwards and everything seemed to swirl around me. Tai looked back at me; she seemed to say something then jumped up. As I fell backwards everything went dark and the feeling of falling was still there.

۞۞۞۞۞۞۞

"Kyde? Kyde?" a voice called my name. "KYDE?"

I opened my eyes. Everything was dark and swirling about. It made me feel sicker, and the voice that was calling me stopped. Sitting up I saw Riku standing right in front of me, "Riku?"

"What are you doing?! You're not supposed to be here! Why are you with Sora?" he seemed both mad and confused, which seemed to make him even more mad.

"Then dare tell where am I 'supposed' to be." I said sarcastically.

He said nothing and just looked at me, then turned around.

"What's wrong Riku? Why did you bring me here? And how did you bring me here."

"I used the power of the Darkness," he turned to face me, "I'm not scared of it."

"Why?" I started to stand. "Why are you being like this?"

Riku walked over to me and grabbed my arm, jerking me up. "Why are you being like this?"

I pulled my arm away. He grabbed my hand and held it tight. I looked at him, into his eyes. He's different, but how? Why? What happened to the Riku I knew before? The one I liked? The one that promised me a fight…

"I thought you were in the Darkness like me. Why did you get with Sora? How did you get with Sora?" he was serious.

"I've never been in…" I paused.

"That dream Kyde, remember that dream you had on that planet with Tai. What happened in that dream?"

'Your back?' I thought to myself. "I was in the Darkness?" I looked away from Riku.

"Come with me."

I pulled my hand away. "Why don't you come with me?!"

He just shook his head and started to disappear into the Darkness.

"Riku!" and like that he was gone and I was back in the whale.

"Riku?" Tai said looking at me.

I was on the ground again, "I'm so sick of this…"

"You are? I'm sick of waiting for you to wake up."

I sat up and sighed.

"What happens when you do that?"

"If it was simple enough to tell you then I would have already."

"Try me."

I looked up. "It seems I have these dreams that are either real or I'm passing out just because of it." I grimaced, "Let's just get out of here. I thing my pants are getting wet from sitting here." I made a gross sound as I moved around.

Tai smiled at this and stood up herself, "That makes two of us."

I stood up next to her, "So…"

"I think that if we jump high enough and hard enough we can get that thing to open." Tai said walking onto the closed up hole in the middle of the room.

"What makes you think that I want to know where that leads?"

"There's only this way or the long climb up the other way."

I thought for a moment, "Now, what do you want me to do?"

"Help me jump."

I shrugged and walked onto the hole.

"On three, one, two… three!" Tai jumped up.

I jumped and we landed at the same time. It barely moved, "That didn't do much."

"I can see that." Tai growled. "Hold your hands out and together."

"You mean like this?" I put my hands together and held them out.

Tai jumped on my hands and then jumped higher, doing a flip.

"Oh shit…" my eyes grew big.

Tai came down hard but on her feet.

The hole shivered and started to wiggle. After that it opened wide and we both went down its deep, damp, gross, nasty, whatever it was! Landing in something wet.

"Kyde? Tai?" Sora's voice came after my head popped up out of the 'water'.

I looked, "That has to be the most disgusting thing I have ever done." I moaned.

Tai popped up, "I've been violated…"

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Shuddup." she splashed me.

I splashed back, we started a war.

"Guys!" Sora yelled right next to us.

"WHAT?" We both yelled, and had each others arms.

"We found a way out." he smiled.

We both looked at each other then him again, "How?" Tai asked.

"He's going to sneeze us out." Sora smiled bigger.

"I think your ideas suck." I growled.

"It was Pinocchio's." Sora admitted.

"It still sucks."

"Com'on. It's ready." Donald yelled from where the others were.

"We're back in the mouth…" Tai moaned.

"No du…"

Sora helped us up and we walked over to the group. They had built a fire, a smoky one. The smoke rose up and everything started to move.

"Hold onto your hats." Jiminy yelled.
