Chapter 2
Traverse Town Hotel:
Asami awakes to Sora twined around her, and a note on the bedside table. She reaches out for the note, and reads it. Her eyes widen, so that had really happened? Destiny Islands had been swallowed up by Darkness, her great-grandmother had really granted her part of her birthright? Sora groans just then, nuzzling into her neck, nipping lightly on her carotid pulse causing her to tilt her head to the side just enough to grant him better access. She can feel him smiling into her neck before he pulls away, " I would, but I don't think now's the time. " he murmurs in her ear.
That didn't stop him from pulling her on top of himself, and just cradling her close, now wasn't the time to let his hormones out to play, as much as he really wanted to. If he knew how long his dad would be then maybe...but, sadly he did not want to get hot and heavy, and then have his dad walk in. " I was honestly expecting more than cuddling when I got back. "
Sora just flips his dad off, and Asami just rolls her eyes, now she knew why their hot and heavy time happened at her place. Takuya chuckles nervously, " Anyway I brought back breakfast, which includes coffee for Asami. "
Sora sighs, " You're not moving anytime soon, are you, 'Sami? "
His answer was her arms looping around his neck, and Sora sits up, " I take it you're used to her being reluctant to let go? "
Sora snorts, " Come on, do you really think I was at Riku's place every time I said I was? "
" Fair enough, and I know I at least raised you right, your mother I'm not so certain about. Alright, I have cinnamon rolls, coffee, mango juice, and malasadas. "
Sora motioned for the juice and malasadas while Asami got the coffee and cinnamon rolls, if she remained snuggled into Sora neither male said anything. Then again their home had just been destroyed, Kairi was...Sora didn't know what happened there. He was just grateful he had Asami and his father still, " We should probably see about getting supplies, which includes shopping. "
Sora groans at this, " Right, because we literally only have the clothes on our backs. "
Asami smirks,-You know damned well I have an unlimited storage capacity subspace pocket, and you have a bad habit of leaving your things behind at my place, I swear half of my closet is actually full of your things.-
Sora chuckles weakly, his free hand going back to rub the back of his neck, looking entirely too much like his father in that moment, " What did she say? " Takuya asks.
Sora fights the urge to squirm under his father's look, -Would it help if I mentioned I had a bag packed for the both of us?-
Sora blinks as he looks at her, " That would help, yes. "
" This is worse than a phone call dammit, because I can actually witness both sides of the conversation, and yet only understand one! "
Sora smirks as Asami pulls out the bag she'd packed for him, and yeah, maybe he had been leaving more of his stuff at her apartment. " Wait, what...where did that come from? "
" I keep my girlfriend's secrets. " Sora says as Asami finally pulls away, and claims the bathroom so she can change while Sora just changes in the room. In moments he has on a gray tank top, purple and gray over jacket, and black cargo shorts with gray and black fingerless gloves. When Asami emerges from the bathroom lust darkens Sora's eyes immediately. Damn, fire colors on her...especially since she was wearing a yellow crop top, his blue and silver over jacket, red cargo shorts, and orange boots she'd had commissioned that could handle anything that came their way. If his eyes strayed to her legs...well...he was more of a leg guy anyway.
Takuya was not surprised in the slightest when his son practically pinned Asami to the wall behind her. Flame made their passions run hotter, their hormones react stronger, but they also knew how to temper those Flames as well. Still, the mere fact that he had laced his fingers into her still damp hair, that he had the presence of mind enough to do so, even as he kisses her so thoroughly that Takuya almost felt like he was intruding. He'd never found that with anyone else, and for one fleeting moment is jealous of his son. There was literally no space between them, and Takuya realized his son was also drying Asami's hair gently. Only a need for air separated them, and even then only barely, " Sora, do not make me a grandfather before you're both at least sixteen. "
Sora smirks at the mischievous sparkle in Asami's eyes, " Wasn't planning on it. Hell, 'Sami won't let us go further than second base until she's sixteen. "
Sora grabs the brush from his girlfriend and works on her hair, running his fingers through it at the same time. By the time he has her hair done, and styled, she had practically fallen asleep against him, " 'Sami, you can't sleep now. "
The female teen's only response to that was to actually fall asleep. Sora stumbles briefly before adjusting to supporting all of her weight, " Having her hair done relaxes her that much? "
" More who does her hair. " Sora states, " It doesn't hurt that as a control exercise I gently heat my hands as well. "
" Can you wake her up? " Takuya asks him.
Sora frowns at this, " I could, but I won't. "
At the same time two emissaries from Disney Castle are looking for a mysterious key. They would only find him when Asami woke up. Instinct was screaming at Sora to let Asami get all the rest she could. Besides, she had really put a crimp in his 'Sami time. Sora swings her up into his arms, and settles them back on the bed he barely remembered stumbling over to. " You do realize she's going to be even more clingy once a month, right? " Takuya can't resist teasing his son.
Sora sticks his tongue out at his father, " Not my fault my body runs hotter, that I'm smart enough to not get a fangirl hoard, and my girlfriend is more than willing to violently stake her claim. " Sora shudders as a few memories play across his mind, what was it about his girlfriend being so violently vindictively vivacious that ignited his passions anyhow. Takuya groans at this.
" Of course violence would be a major turn on for you. "
Sora quirks an eyebrow at this, and Takuya sighs, " We Kanbara men like our women, or men, depending on our preferences to be a mix of violent, and vulnerable. "
Sora blinks at this, " Huh, that's actually genetic? "
" Yeah, no one figured that out until the men started realizing their wives/girlfriends/lovers were all the same mix of violent and vulnerable. Hence why we Kanbara men have top notch instincts, and almost never get the ultimate punishment. " Takuya admits.
" Why is it I've never met any of your family? " Sora asks.
Takuya runs his hands through his chocolate locks in agitation, " I'm not originally from Destiny Islands, Sora. I've really only been there…"
Sora's cerulean blue eyes widen in shock, " That's why you got drunk, you missed your home, friends, family. "
Takuya groans, " Had I been in my right mind I would have never gone anywhere near her dammit. Again, the only thing I don't regret from that is you. Hell, she seems to think she's entitled to my money dammit. Fuck no, and I've made damned certain she can't get her mitts on it as well. Your grandparents were furious when they found that out, and found out that only I could touch the money I set aside for you until certain conditions are met. My world, well, let's just say divorces could be nasty. "
" Is that why you avoid her parents like the plague? " Sora asks.
" No, I avoid them because they piss me the fuck off. They wanted to arrange your marriage when you were still a baby. I may not have been allowed custody, but I did and still do retain my paternal rights. They were not expecting me to hire a lawyer to fight them every step of the way. Probably part of why she keeps trying to keep you away from Asami. "
Sora can't help it, he has to laugh at this, his girlfriend happened to be a bonafide princess, and she wasn't good enough for his maternal relatives. Then again, he couldn't stand to be around them for very long either. He avoided his cousins like the plague, he couldn't stand to be around either of them for very long. Takuya observes his son, what did he know that no one else did apparently. Then again, he had already said he would keep his girlfriend's secrets. Asami wakes up again two hours later, she was not by any standard of definition a morning person. After stopping to get her more coffee they look around where they had ended up, which was apparently Traverse Town as they learned from the man in the Accessory Shop.
Takuya does pick himself up a sword at an Item's Shop, and all three mow through whatever the Hell the shadow like creatures were. Squall Leonhart whom preferred to be called Leon these days freezes when Takuya presses his sword to his neck, " I know you weren't about to knock out my son like an honorless cur, right? "
The young man stays still, his instincts were screaming at him that this man was dangerous. Then the female Glares at him, and he shudders, that was way too much like Aerith for his peace of mind, " The Heartless, those Shadow Creatures, are drawn to your son's Heart because of the Keyblade he wields. " Leon says quickly, he hadn't been expecting the Keybearer to have his father or overprotective girlfriend with him.
Were those flames flickering around the kid's hands? " My son can hold his own, I should know, I'm the one that trained him. " Takuya snarls.
" Dad, how about we take him back to our room, and get all the pertinent information out of him there, should he get a little singed, I don't give a damn. " Sora states.
Asami looks at Sora, and the spiky haired teen shrugs, though he does let the Kingdom Key disappear back into his Heart. Asami looks at Takuya, " Don't worry, I can more than handle anything that comes our way, Asami. " Takuya tells her, and she lets her stave fade away. Leon finds himself in the Orange Room at the hotel, and he winces when he's shoved roughly onto one of the beds, Takuya's, though he doesn't know that, " Talk, and I might let you get out of this without third degree burns. " Takuya snarls it out, and he summons EmperorGreymon's sword.
" See, I could be seen as a Shaman, I am the Inheritor to AncientGreymon's Will, Legendary Warrior of Flame for the Digital World, and I earned the title of Moeru Kōtei, or Burning Emperor, as I was called on by other Digital Worlds throughout the Multiverse to help out. World travel is not that fucking unknown, unless you end up in this area of any Universe, and then no one seems to think World Travel is possible. I am the Wielder of the Spirits of Flame! "
Leon observes the sword the older man now has, and he can see that it can actually split apart, and act as a crossbow. Sora observes his father even as his left arm wraps around Asami, Leon makes quick work of explaining what was going on, " You couldn't have just asked him to go with you? " Takuya mutters, " You wouldn't happen to be related to Koji Minamoto, would you? "
" I'm Sora Kanbara, and this is Asami. " Sora says, Flames flickering in his cerulean blue eyes.
" Oh, yeah, Sora inherited Flame from me. " Takuya says.
Sora and Asami react at the same time when a Heartless spawns in their room, Keyblade and Stave in hand they destroy the Heartless immediately. Leon blinks, and then the teens are out of the room, Sora scooping up the bag his clothes were packed in on the fly, tossing it to Asami, whom puts it back in her subspace pocket. Takuya just smirks, " They can handle it, I started world saving ventures when I was twelve. "
Sora was surprised to find out that crescent moon was more than just a mere decoration though. Now he knew why she had always prefered a staff to sword. Sora falls into sync with her immediately, and just barely avoids getting smushed by a duck wearing blue, and a bipedal dog, when they exclaim over the Key Sora rolls his eyes, " Less talking, more destroying pain in the ass Boss Level Heartless, okay. I'm Sora, she's my girlfriend, Asami, and she's also mute. "
" Donald Duck. "
" Ayhuck, I'm Goofy. "
Asami nods at them briefly, and spins her stave in her hands to hold off one of the arms while Goofy uses his shield to do the same. Sora lets Flame surround his weapon, and slashes through the arm attacking his girlfriend, destroying it instantly. Asami goes after one of the feet, and turns a backflip to avoid the Torso of their foe. Even as she completes her backflip she slashes out at the Torso as the others get the final arm dealt with. Moisture starts to coalesce around her once more, and she swings her stave. Water drenches their foe, leaving allies untouched, and the duck, Donald, cackles, " Thunder! "
The Heartless is destroyed, and Asami has to use her stave to stay upright until Sora wraps his left arm around her, " That took a lot of control, no wonder she's so tired, and that was a very high level Water spell. " Donald says.
" Either of you know sign language? " Sora asks them.
" Gawrsh, Queen Minnie and Daisy know it, so does King Mickey, but we never needed to learn, Sora. " Goofy admits, " Though my son Max does know sign language, took it as an elective. "
Sora groans, " Think you could pass it on to them with your powers, 'Sami? "
Midnight blue eyes take on a pensive look, and she shrugs. " Well, skills can be passed on, granted if you will. " Donald muses aloud.
Sora focuses on his knowledge of the language, the nuances, and touches Donald and Goofy in turn. Donald clutches his head as the knowledge hits him, " Who would have thought a language spoken only with hands had so much detail to it. "
" At least you can communicate with 'Sami now. " Sora points out, " If I'm going to be travelling with you to save all the Worlds at Large out there then Asami comes with me. No way in Hell am I leaving her behind when she can't call out for help. "
" Gawrsh, he has a point, Donald, and she seems to be a magic user like you. " Goofy states.
Donald winces, a young lady unable to call out for help when she needed it...yeah, he could see why Sora would want to keep her with him. " I guess I'll just have to teach her how to use Magic then. "
Asami rolls her eyes, -Attack magic would be best, defensive comes easily to me for certain reasons.-
It takes Donald a minute to work through that, and he snorts, but agrees to teach her some offensive spells. Though he does make sure to teach her and Sora Protect, Fire, which Sora scoffs at, Cure, and Goofy teaches them the Dodge Roll though Sora almost had that one mastered anyhow. " Come on, you two need to meet my father before we head out, and there are probably several supplies we should get first. " Sora states.
-Food?- Asami asks.
" Fair enough, let's go get some food first, and then we can head back to the hotel. " Sora says firmly, he had almost forgotten about his girlfriend's metabolism.
Donald was nice enough to pay, since they had picked up the loot dropped by the Heartless they had ended up fighting. Sora orders for himself and Asami, then volunteers to wait for their food. If he happened to glare at any male that looked at his girlfriend for longer than a onceover that was his prerogative. It should be known that Kanbara males were generally the alpha male type, and while they understood their significant others could handle themselves that didn't mean they had to all the time. On Destiny Islands it was understood by all those that wanted to pursue Asami romantically that she was Sora's. Wakka's cousin made the mistake of chatting her up in full view of Sora. Now, Sora happened to be a patient vindictive bastard, and so he waited until school had let out, they were far away from any means of surveillance, and explained to the fool what a BAD IDEA that had been.
When one male doesn't take a hint Sora's body language shifts from lazily alert to Fuck With Me at Your Own Peril. Asami sees the shift, and follows his gaze, and promptly bangs her head on the table, why, why, why had she inherited a Lunarian's natural allure and ethereal beauty? Every sane male leaves a wide berth around the cocky moron. The cashier winces, this would not end well, for the moron that is. Sora looks at the cashier, and murmurs, " I'll be right back. "
Sora stalks over on an intercept course, and twists the imbecile's wrist before he can touch what was Sora's, " Apparently you just can't take a HINT. She's off the market. "
The temperature in the area starts to spike, a very good indicator that Sora's temper was about to erupt, unless the fool backed off immediately. " No harm in talking to her. "
" She's mute, so she wouldn't be able to talk to you anyhow, now, BACK OFF. " Sora says tersely, eyes blazing, literally.
It was a testament to how much control Sora had over his temper and powers that the only clear sign that he was pissed was the fact that it was now thirty degrees hotter than it had been, and holding. The fact that Flame just coiled like a friendly cat around Asami another sign of how much control Sora had over himself and his powers. He does extend that protection to Goofy and Donald when he notices the difficulty they were having. " That possessive are you? Maybe she should ditch you for someone else. "
It was the tone in which he said it that caused Asami to shove away from the table, slamming her hands down forcefully, and she spins around to face both males before promptly slamming her knee into cocky bastard's gonads as hard as she could, and then to add insult to injury for him full on kisses Sora, and this was no chaste kiss, this was one that communicated quite well that neither one of them was interested in anyone else. If Sora decided to ramp things up to almost public indecency levels...no one present blamed him.
After that little diversion they manage to get their food and eat peacefully. Sora did eat one handed, keeping his left arm around Asami's shoulders in a clear message. A message every male understood instinctively of those that hadn't seen the confrontation earlier. Once they reach the hotel Takuya curses under his breath, " Whom the fuck was stupid enough to not listen to your body language and Glare? " he asks his son.
" Some cocky son of a bitch that seemed to think 'Sami would leave me for him. She kneed him in the 'nads for that stupidity. " Sora deadpans.
Donald takes point in talking to Takuya, neither he nor Goofy had been expecting to actually have to deal with a parent of the Key. Takuya sighs wearily, " At least you're two years older than I was when Destiny blazed up around me. Keep your Flame burning bright, bud, it may flicker, but never let it go out. "
Sora nods at this, " Right. "
Asami rolls her eyes and shoves everyone out of the room. The Kanbara males both have to laugh at that, " She knows you well, doesn't she? " Takuya asks.
" We were friends for over a year before I started dating her. " Sora says, and practically tackles his father in a hug.
Takuya runs a hand through his hair, " At least you have a better grounding in combat than I ever did, you have Flame, and you have Asami. You can also come back here to rest, and get some more training from me, okay. "
" I'm glad you made it off of Destiny Islands too, Dad. " Sora murmurs, he'd always preferred his father to her. Takuya understood his son, Misao on the other hand kept trying to mold Sora into something he wasn't.
" I'll be right here whenever you come back, you just watch Asami's back, okay. "
Sora's eyes look up, " Always. "
