Chapter 4
Sora ran into the woods on the other side of the castle. He came around to where Riku Replica, Yuugure, Tsubasa, and Pheonix were, but stayed in the wood. Tsubasa heard him come although the others didn't. She signaled him to go on ahead.
Kairi was lost and freezing in the forest of the ice. She had no idea where she was going. All she knew was she had to keep moving, or she would freeze to death. As she trudged on in the knee high snow, she heard a howl. It wasn't Tsubasa's. And she wasn't going to stand there to find out whose it was. Kairi ran as fast as she could through the snow. She then stopped. She was at "The Frozen Lake". She turned around to see a pack of wolves right behind her. She was at a crossroad: Does she go on the ice with a risk of hyperthermia or does she out run the wolves who would soon catch her.
'What do you want with Kairi?!' Tsubasa demanded. "Ansem the Wise wants her," the fake Riku replied. "Well, you're gonna have to go through us!" declared Pheonix with his, Yuugure's, and Tsubasa's fangs bared. "Hold it," said a voice, "He's mine." It was the real Riku with his keyblade in hand. "Tsubasa, you need to help Sora and Kairi. Riku, Pheonix, Koji, and I will keep him at bay," Roxas said from behind. "Now hurry up and go. We won't be able to hold him off for long," Kaji said. "Get a head start!" Yuugure finished. "Thanks guys," Tsubasa said as she left.
Kairi was stuck in between a rock and a hard place, literally. She had ran behind a rock. The only things keeping her from moving was the wolves, who were blocked by the rock, and the tree she was leaning up against. Kairi then heard a growl that seemed to come from behind the pack. Then… all went silent. She was scared. She didn't know whether look out to see if they were gone or stay there and wait for help. After awhile or so, she heard something. "What are you doing here? I thought your clan was further to the north." "It was… but hunters came into the lands- Wait a minute! You know S-wolves Language!" said the leader of the pack. There was a murmur. Someone then explained something and then asked for- 'This person knows my name?!' Kairi thought. 'But how? It must be Tsubasa' she reasoned.
It took all of her courage to peak around the corner to find…
Sorry, cliffhanger. Now, who got to Kairi first. Sora or Tsubasa?
