It took all of her courage to look out and find…

Chapter 5

Sora. Sora was the one who found her. He was the one talking to the wolves. Kairi turned back to stare at the rock that was before her. The only word she heard him say, that she understood, was 'Kairi'. "I don't believe it', she whispered, "he asked about me!" Kairi just sat there blushing and gawking at what she had just heard, she didn't hear the pack leave. "I know you're there. Come out." At the words 'come out' Kairi remembered a little of her childhood. She remembered the boy she had long forgotten calling out her name.

"Kairi, I know you're there! You don't have to hide anymore," the boy said. "But won't she bite me?" "No, she won't. Will you, Tsu?" he said playfully. 'Nope. All I want is for you, me, and Sora to be friends,' young Tsubasa said.

"Are you… Are you Sora?" she whispered out loud. "Of course I'm Sora," he said. Kairi noticed how close he had gotten and started to blush again. "Now, come out of there before the fake Riku comes." She came out of her hard place and saw Tsubasa running up to them. "What happened? Is he following us?" "Yeah. We better hurry. The others won't be able to hold him off for long," Tsubasa replied. Tsu took one look at Kairi and asked, 'Are you okay? What happened?" Kairi snapped back to reality and shrugged she was fine. Howl "Yuugure!" 'And it sounds like trouble is on the way.' "Run!" Kairi finished.

"Do you think Tsu got the message?" "I sure hope so, Koji," Roxas said. "Why does everyone call me Koji except Sora and Tsu?" "Less talking, more running," panted Subaru.

Sora, Tsubasa, and Kairi came to the edge of the frozen lake. Tsubasa started moving on patches of ice to see if they would hold up. One, two, three, four! The fourth one on the edge didn't break. She checked both of the sides, but the only patch that didn't break was the forward. Then left, right, forward, forward, left, right-crack. Tsubasa looked up from what she was doing. She created and Ice path with water on both sides. "What are you two doing back there?! I created a path for you to follow. Most of these ice sheets can hold up to 200 pounds. The ones that are slightly cracked can only carry half that amount. The ones that are completely cracked can only carry 50, so you guys have to be careful!" she yelled from half way across. "What was she saying?" Kairi asked. "'Be careful on the sheets of ice that are cracked," Sora translated. With that he and Kairi advanced on to the ice carefully not falling in the water on the sides. Left, right, forward down. 'Oh great.' "What happen?" Sora said as they caught up. 'The ice on the side won't hold our weight. The only way we're going to get off of this is if we jump to a stronger ice patch.' Kairi's heart sank. She knew one wrong move could put them under the ice. 'I'll go first. I'm heavier than you.' 'Yeah… by a couple of pounds.' Sora jumped across and made on the ice safely. Tsu went next and started checking more sheets for another path. Kairi new it was her turn and was about to jump until… something hit the water. Tsu stopped. Sora and Kairi turned around to see…

Tsubasa howled. "Oh, no!," Koji panted, "Riku got to them before we did!" "Don't worry. If we hurry up now, we might be able to help them," Subaru said "Onward!" Pheonix yelled.

The water splashed up on to the ice as Riku Replica appeared. "Now, now you heard what Auntie Tsu said," Riku said with Tsubasa's teeth and eyes glaring on his neck, "Come away from the ledge of ice and come home." Riku held out his hand. (similar to both the KH I and II opening) "You have to choose! We're not forcing you to stay!" yelled the sixteen year old Riku. 'You guys made it just in time!' Tsu yipped. Riku Replica ran on the path of ice. Scared, Kairi moved a little more to jump, but slipped and fell in the water instead. Tsu dove into the water on the other side leaving Sora to fight the fake Riku. Subaru waited at the edge of the water with Yuugure at her side while Pheonix, Riku, Sora, and Roxas fought the fake. Tsubasa finally surfaced, but she was on the other side. Away from Subaru to help Kairi, Tsu called out to Sora. "Tsubasa, there is an underground where you, Sora, and Kairi can rest. I advise you take it. Koji and I will shortly follow you." 'Thanks, Subby-chan!' Tsu ran ahead with Kairi unconscious on her back and Sora following them. "NO! I let them get away!" Shouted the replica as he followed (very far) behind. "Alright, Tsu, Sora, and Kairi should be safe in the underground cavern. We'll meet up with them there. This way! Follow me!" Sue ranted.

Sorry Subby-Chan! This blasted chapter (well the 4th to be precise) is the reason I didn't post anything. That and I'm writing four books (including this one) at the same time. Wow! This is HORRIBLE (not the chapter: what I'm doing!)
