Urgh. It felt like something had hit her over the head- again. These people really had to stop doing that. And why were people shouting so loudly so near her.. No wait they weren't shouting, it just seemed like it. What the hell had happened... Something wasn't right.. but what.. Frowning slightly, her eyes still shut whilst thinking, she tried to focus on the voices. They were still going on, but most of it was fuzzy,

"Wendy!" Who was Wendy? Last time she checked that wasn't her name.. Was it? No, it definitely wasn't Wendy, it was Tane. All these hits to the head really weren't paying off. Yes, she was Tane and she was on a ship.. Because of Riku and… seriously why did someone have to hit her over the head. That just wasn't friendly. The only good thing right now was the voices were becoming clearer.

"There are two girls here, one looks younger than the other but otherwise they look the same. Peter please help" That was a girls voice, and not one she recognised. Maybe Wendy? And who was Peter? Why were there so many people she didn't know.

"Are they ok?" A boys voice.. This time one Tane recognised slightly. Was she one of the two girls that he was asking about?

"The younger one seems to be asleep, but the other hasn't budged an inch.." Tane frowned, had she moved at all? Was she the one that was asleep or not moving.

"Kairi?, Tane?" Kairi… She knew that name. And the boy had just said her name aswell. Unfortunately that meant she should probably open her eyes to see what he wanted.. but that hurt. Instead she went for making a, 'mhnm' sound in complaint, and brought her hand up to rub the sore spot on her head. Why couldn't these people just let her sleep?

"Tane wake up!" The boy sounded more flustered now.. Sora.. That was it, the name just popped into her head. She was sure of it, Sora. Her old friend.. her old friend? No someone else's. But who's. Sora continued to shout her name though, and she eventually gave up on trying to go back to sleep and opened her eyes to the painful light. It took her several seconds of blinking for her eyes to adjust, but everything came rushing back when she did. Kairi, she'd been trying to help her sister. That was who wouldn't wake up..

"Tane" Sora's voice again.. She looked around the cabin again, over looking the other girl in the corner and finding Sora through a hole in the floor. How had he got down there? She crawled over to the hole- not trusting her legs to hold her up yet, plus just moving was giving her a splitting headache, and faced Sora.

"What're you doing?" She questioned, but didn't get the answer she was looking for.

"What's wrong with Kairi?" Ok, last time she'd checked, a question wasn't answered with a question, why did he think it was? Couldn't he have atleast asked a question she knew the answer to. Looking over at her sister she shook her head, wishing she did know,

"She was like that when I got put in here…" She trailed off her thoughts turning to Riku. Shouldn't he have come to help her by now? No, he wasn't right from that mist. Banging at the door jerked her from her thoughts and she took hold of her sisters hand. Whether her heart was there or not Kairi was still her sister. As the door was pushed open, and Wendy grabbed by a pirate Tane was sure she'd seen her sister's hand move towards Sora's through the gap. But before she could think it over another set of pirates had grabbed both herself and Kairi and were carrying them off. If someone knocked her unconscious again, she really was going to be pissed. Luckily they were only carried, or dragged in Tane's case, to Hooks cabin again. They were left there alone for a little while, until Hook entered and took Wendy away. He barely glanced at either sister.

The worst part of having to stay on this ship was it was making the young girl start to miss her old room in that dark mansion. And that really was saying something. Atleast there had been a bed there, and a bathroom, and food on a daily bases. Where as here she couldn't even remember the last time she'd had any of those luxuries.

Standing up in time to see Riku enter the room, Tane let go of Kairi's hand and walked over to him. He still looked exactly the same, and still seemed to act mostly the same, but there was something Tane couldn't put her finger on that. Once again he swept her into his arms, and pressed a kiss to her lips, though before she could react he'd let go of her and moved of to Kairi picking the unconscious girl up in his arms. Honestly, Tane did feel a slight pang of jealousy at seeing her sister in Riku's arms, whether she knew she shouldn't or not.

Another sound of someone in the room caught her attention however, and she took her eyes from Riku and Kairi to the spiky haired boy at the other side of the room.

"Riku wait!" He called, but it was no use. He had already conjured up a portal underneath where he and Tane were stood, and all 3 disappeared through it, leaving a confused and angry Sora in the cabin with that shadow thing again. 'He should really teach me some of these tricks' She thought to herself but was stopped when they exited the portal back to one of the rooms in the mansion. Riku was on the floor panting, like he couldn't get his breath, and Kairi was laid next to him. The younger redhead frowned, a look of worry covering her features as she knelt beside both of them. What was wrong with him?

"It was reckless to bring her here without atleast using a vessel" Oh great, Maleficent was here again. But her words definitely made Riku look angry.. he was still panting but now he looked mad too. "Remember, relying too heavily on the powers of darkness could cost you your heart" That seemed to anger him even more, as he pushed Tane to the side and stood up scowling. Tane stumbled slightly losing her balance, but managed not to squish Kairi under her. "A castaway" She said, indicating to the sudden sound that had happened behind where the three young people were standing. "Though his world perished, his heart did not. When we took the princess from his castle, he apparently followed her here through sheer force of will" That sounded so sweet in Tane's book. To follow someone you loved when they were taken. It was like a fairytale. She couldn't help but wonder if Riku would do that for her. She wasn't so sure with this new version. "But fear not. No harm will come to you, he is no match for your power" Ok, since when had that blonde haired boy got so many amazing powers? Or rather, how had he? Now suddenly he was strong enough to take on some beast person in the corner that looked pretty damn big and powerful. That didn't just happen naturally over night.

"My power?" Alright then, apparently he didn't even know about this power! Maybe Maleficent was just talking out her ass..

"Yes, the untapped power that lies within you" Yes, definitely out her ass. "Now child, it's time you awakened that power" Ha how did he like it, being called a child. Maybe it wasn't the same as a baby which he used to take delight in calling Tane, but child was close enough. But she didn't like the way this was going. The mist version of Riku was strange enough, having another lot of power in him.. No, she didn't want that. But before she could protest more green mist had appeared around her friend. Once again she waited until it was over before calling his name, only the result was even more drastic than the first time,

"I need to talk with him alone, take your sister and leave" What right did Maleficent have to tell her that? Riku wouldn't agree though, he wouldn't leave her and Kairi alone. But he didn't protest... He just stood there, and when she didn't make any attempt to move, lift Kairi up and pushed her onto Tane, forcing the younger girl to take more than her own weight and stumble backwards. Luckily she was getting better at being caught by surprise and managed not to fall over.

"Riku?" She questioned, hoping he'd come help her, tell Maleficent to get fucked and all three would walk out of the room together. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

"Go" Back to the old emotionless, stone cold Riku again… wonderful. Giving up, the younger redhead struggled out of the room, supporting her sister as best as possible, before collapsing in the hallway.
