Chapter 6: Hell's Grasp
Even after the sentencing and being led back to her cell, Kairi didn't cry. For some reason, she couldn't find any more tears left to shed. Sure she was sad but at least she was being punished for something that had brought her so much joy and not something that she knew was wrong. She smiled to herself; that made no sense whatsoever.
Three days passed quickly and Kairi soon found herself before the Portal to Hell. Volcanic fumes seeped through the gate and the heat around the portal was unbearable. Kairi faced the portal, expressionless and fearless in appearance. Seymour was once again reading her crimes and sentences but Kairi wasn't listening. She was fully prepared for what awaited her behind that hated portal. Silence. It was time.
"Throw her in," Seymour ordered.
The guards nodded to each other and gave Kairi a shove forward. She fell straight forward and was caught. Two people in black cloaks had stopped her from falling into hell. One of them twisted around and kicked the guards in the chest. He whipped around and light flashed from his hands, revealing the Kingdom Key. He lunged forward at Seymour, who blocked with his staff.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Sora..."
Kairi's eyes went wide at the mere mention of his name. Was that really him behind that cloak.
"Take Kairi now! I'll hold him here!" Sora shouted.
The second nodded and led Kairi away from the battlefield.
Sora and Seymour circled each other, each never taking their eyes off the other.
"Its good to see you again Sora," Seymour smirked.
"Shut up! You killed my mother! You were about to kill Kairi!" Sora said enraged at his mere presence.
"I was just about to send her to hell, not to her death," Seymour said calmly.
"Liar! You know damn well that that portal does not go to Hell! Its the execution chamber!" Sora spat.
Seymour smirked. "You always were a smart one. Very good Sora, but there's nothing you can do? You think I won't find your little girlfriend again? You cannot escape no matter where you go!"
"We'll just see about that," Sora said.
He gripped the Keyblade tightly and jumped towards Seymour. His Key made contact with Seymour's staff. Sora broke off and swung hard, knocking Seymour away.
The second man lead Kairi down a series of stairways and tunnels, never once stopping or slowing down. Kairi was pulled along, but still managed to keep to her feet and maintain balance with this man.
Finally they stopped and entered a small room with blue drapes and painting off all the past rulers of the Realm of Angels.
"You may take a breather, Sora will be here shortly and then we'll depart."
Kairi looked up at him. "You're Sora's messenger aren't you? Tell me, what's your name?"
He turned to her. "My name is-"
