Here ya go noble, I finally updated.

Chapter 5 darker dreamers

Kaede ran straight into the cave. Her determination was guiding her. Kaela was slow still stunned by the fact that she was throwing herself into danger.

Kaede looked back at her.

"Come on!" She yelled over the crumbling of stones.

Kaela stumbled faster, even in her dorky awkward way.

The roof of the cave was what was collapsing. The large chunks of granite were in dangerous range of valuable body parts. Thank god the cave was filled with light.

"..Where is she…?" Kaela muttered. She thought about running, but she could just picture Kaede frying her.

The sand was getting into her shoes as she tried to follow Kaede toward the light.

Then there was a voice.

A shrill shriek one at that.

"YUKI YOU IDIOT!!!!!"

The other was whimpering, "I just wanted to see what it did!"

Kaede and Kaela skidded to a stop in front of the two. The cave was lighten up by the keychain attached to one of the girl's weapons she also happened to be the one being yelled at. The other looked furious and spread her hands out as if wanting to attack something.

I can't tell if she wants to hit the girl or the rocks…

"Oh so which ones the Chiho we're looking for?"

Kaede pointed to the smaller of the two. Oddly I felt completely amused by watching the two. Even as rocks landed around us at record making speed, Kaela could still find time to laugh at them. Chiho was slapping the other's arms.

"YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH ANYTHING ANYMORE!!!"

"YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME IT WAS FRAGILE!!!"

"YOU'RE BOTH IDIOTS!" Kaede yelled, but smiled after her annoyed look faded.

They turned around at her with looks of surprise/shock/happiness. They spun around as if to run towards her, but Kaela called out this time freezing them.

"Um hey guys can we get out of the cave? Please?"

They stared at me, shrugged and ran.

"Race you!"

Kaela heard a squeal, and she was just focused on not getting trampled by the rocks and the other three people.

They ran not only trying to beat each other but also the dying cave.

Kaela came in 2nd to last place, thankfully above the cave of the collapsment.

She looked up at the three, amazed by the silence. She had noticed how Kaede's mood had gotten a little more closed when they arrived.

"Omigosh!!! Are you guys okay?!" A red-haired girl ran towards them. Kaela dusted the sand off herself. She stared up at the girl.

She was enveloping herself into an unwelcome hug with Kaede.

"Oh Kae! When did you get here?!"

That pink outfit…that hair…no way!

"Kairi?"

She spun out of her hug, and took in the surroundings with the other three people. Kaela felt a sense of déjà vu. Just like scenes out of the game, the thin girl smiled at her, and the mood seemed to calm down. Like as she reached to pull Sora out of the water.

Destiny Island's beaches and warmth were so familiar that they were eerie right now. For Kaela even though the hot atmosphere there was still shivers suddenly sending down her spine. Too freaky.

"Um I don't think we've met before, um how do you know my name?"

She looked at her questioningly, and Kaela's face went blank.

"I-I-I am uh..." Kaela cracked under pressure,

Kaede stepped in smoothly, with a wide grin on her face, "She's a friend of mine! I've just told her soo much about you Kairi! She just felt like she knew you!"

Kaede is an impressive liar.

"Oh pleased to meet you!"

Kaede smiled, thrilled to introduce. Kaela actually knew that she was going to get a serious talking too.

"Oh my goodness I didn't see you guys there!"

She turned towards the other too.

"Oh Chiho your still adorable!"

She was talking to the girl with the dark a little lower than shoulder length hair. She was the tiniest of the group. She had dark brown eyes that just told you trouble.

"And Yuki you're still as innocent looking as ever!"

Yuki's eye twitched, she was shorter than Kairi and Kaela but taller than everyone else, just barely beating Kaede. She had gray eyes, and dirty blonder hair that was scooped up into a semi-high ponytail.

Kaede had what looked like a fox grin on her face, "Yah Yuki you're still as innocent as ever!!"

Yuki attempted to kick her, "Shut up." She said pouting.

Also pouting was Chiho.

"Psh, totally ignore me!"

Kaede laughed, "Hey, you were being ignoring too!!"

Kairi broke into the conversation feeling like an extra wheel, as Kaela felt too.

"How bout you all stay at my house?" She gave a nervous grin, and waved her arms a little.

Kaede gave a warm smile to her, "Sure thanks."

Kaela didn't mean to eavesdrop, really she didn't, it just sort of happened. She was just trying to brush her teeth she swore.

It was a good thing Kaede had brought supplies in the gummy ship, and it was also fortunate that Kairi had tooth paste, and a sink….

"Are you saying that she was sent to try to get us together…again?"

It was Yuki's hushed voice.

Kaela peeked over through the small hole in the door. Kairi's house was perfectly beach-side. The rooms were opens in airy, with many peeking holes. Kaela stood on her tiptoes to see into the circular window, and trying not to get shoe-marks on the palm tree wall paper.

Chiho sighed, "…Maybe we just should you know…"

Kaede shook her head,

"No! We were in too much danger when we were together as our team, and that's just when they just found out about us."

Yuki tried to hold back her need to be with her friends again.

"But were better now! We can stand up to them!"

Kaede was reasoning, "Exactly! That wanted to catch us before, they'll want to even more now that were stronger!"

Chiho was uncomfortable, "Yah who says they haven't?"

Yuki got up no longer whispering, "Maybe it's destiny!! Maybe she isn't sent to collect us! She sure doesn't look evil! Maybe we were supposed to be together…"

"Forever…" Kaede finished.

"I miss you guys!" Chiho said not expectingly, "I mean when Yuki showed up all of a sudden, saying that she was looking for me, I almost lost it."

Kaede stared at yuki, "You didn't?"

She looked away.

"Yuki you could've gotten killed! You could've gotten Chiho killed too, what were you thinking?!"

Yuki stood up rage in her face, "I didn't know she'd be here, and yes I have been looking for you all! We didn't tell each other where will be! I wanted to see you guys again! I really wanted to just find you!" Her eyes were watery.

Kaede stood up too, "And what if something happened to you while you were 'traveling' .I'm guessing you snuck out and Riku didn't catch you, he'd never let you go! What if you were killed?"

Chiho joined the standing up crowd, "What would we do yuki? Huh? I wanted to see you all too…and so did Kae-chan, but I don't want any of us getting hurt in the process!"

As silence came they all sat back down.

"I'm sorry," The three said in unison. They all grinned sadly at each other.

The quiet came again.

"Soo have you noticed any changes since we've been together?"

They both looked at Kaede confused.

"Maybe it's because I've known you were here longer, you just came here right before I did right Yuki?" She nodded.

Kaede closed her eyes, and her hair grew a little darker brown, and longer. When she opened her eyes they were a bright purple.

Then Kaela outside the door remembered as they were running in she knew something was different about Kaede. Her eyes.

"So were reverting then?"

"Mhm."

"I kind of liked having purple eyes." Kaede said a little too excited for the conversation.

They laughed. Chiho eyes were looked a goldish brown for a second, and Yuki's a bright blue.

"You guys just did it! You guys just looked like your old selves!" Kaede cheered.

"Wait Akako! Do you think this is happening to her?"

Yuki shrugged, "Maybe?"

Chiho got it first and burst out, "Wait Aky-chan's in danger right?! Since were all here, she's the only one left!"

They all exchanged glances,

"Right so we have to find Aky, whether Kaela's a collector or not, we have to find her."

"Break!" Yuki yelled, getting the 'what?' stares and laughs.

Kaela who was standing outside the door wanting to ambush them with questions, but two things held her back. What would they do when they figured out she'd been listening in? Hate her? They already were judging her goodness. That and she really really needed to spit.

Kaela didn't sleep well that night.

She had awful dreams.

It all seemed so real.

She saw them all, Yuki, Kaede, and Chiho. They looked so different.

They had a sense of togetherness, they looked like they had been through so much together, and not just like mysterious strangers as they did now.

Everyone was in a desert. She assumed it was that, or just some barren place, there was nothing, no life. There was nothing, but those three girls panting and distressed they were armed and ready. She couldn't make out who was as her vision was blurry, whether to do with the unbearable heat in this place, or maybe because of the nauseous feeling she had at the moment.

They were in fighting stance. The weapons were ready in their arms, and they seemed unaffected as the massive amount of dusts blowing around.

And then in a few minutes Kaela knew why.

Coming from the other side of the dessert was two men. One was pale and bony, with eyes that were hollow and emotionless. The other was huge, and it was plain that he was a warrior, everything about him screamed it.

"Oh put those away, and just come here we don't want any trouble."

The old man waved his hand dismissively, grinning, a very wicked grinning.

Kaede clenched her fists, as if holding the magic back. Yuki spoke out though.

"It's over, Mickey's going to be here soon, and then you'll finally get what's coming to you."

The old man laughed, "You really think he's coming?" From the blank determined stares he got, he started laughing even harder." Why would he be here for people like you?" He wheeled his chair closer, and gave a wicked grin. "Your rejects. You're not even supposed to exist."

"How could you say that?" Chiho raised her weapon and pointed it directly at the man.

The bigger man grabbed her wrist. "Hey."

The old man stood up shakily, "I created you."

Kaede gritted her teeth, "No you didn't."

He smiled and touched her cheek like a loving parent, "Oh really? Than why can't any of you kill me, when I'm a helpless old man, in a wheel chair?"

The big man let go of Chiho.

"Chiho can you pull that trigger?"

Her hands shook.

"I didn't think so."

"Everyone knows about you four now. Your power. And how dangerous you are."

"Which means that everyone here, in every world, in kingdom hearts, wants you destroyed."

Another girl who Kaela assumed was Akako, said quietly. "We're going to disappear were you can't find us."

The scene changed.

The four of them were on this very beach, four different doors were there, and everyone was huddled in a big circle.

"This means we can never see each other again." Kaede said through tears.

"God I don't know how I'm going to do this, isn't there another way?" Yuki was sobbing too. "Isn't there some other way?"

Chiho shook her head.

Akako regained some control, "From now on…we don't know each other, we have never met, none of this happened. We were all never friends."

"It doesn't matter…we won't see each other ever again."

That's when Kaela woke up.
