"So, what now?" Kairi asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"What do you mean?" [Name] turned her head toward the girl, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Is there a way to undo the Contract?" The red-head inquired, causing everyone to turn her way.
"Oh yeah, come to think of it, the Contract was made by accident so you'd probably want to undo it, right [Name]?" Riku said.
"That? No, there isn't a way to cancel the Contract once it has been made. That's why it's a pain in the ass." Kairi cocked her head to the side and frowned at this. "Instead of talking about Contracts, I want to go somewhere to relax. Is there a hot springs anywhere around here? Soaking in some steam water sounds really good right around now," [Name] finished, rubbing her shoulders.
"There is. It's really close to here too!" Kairi smiled, excitement showing on her expression.
"I don't wanna go to the hot springs! I'd rather stay home and test out this new strength." Sora smirked and looked down at his hands, clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly.
"So the shorty is afraid of some hot water?" Riku voiced, causing Sora to freeze and look over his shoulder at the boy.
"Yeah right! And stop calling me short!" Sora jumped to his feet and turned around to face the silver-headed boy completely.
"Hold on a second. [Name], what were you doing that made you fall from that hole?" Kairi interjected. [Name] scratched the back of her head and shrugged her shoulders.
"Honestly I don't know how I ended up here. All I remember is running away from someone and then backing up into this random black hole that appeared out of nowhere. Then I fell through your ceiling, that's about it," she stated in return.
"I see …Well, no point in fretting over it now right? Let's go!" The red-head jumped into the air to display her excitement, and the others smiled in agreement.
The walk to the hot springs was not at all peaceful. Riku was constantly teasing Sora who would yell back in retaliation, only for Kairi to scold both of them. Roxas was the only one who was pretty much silent which surprised you. You'd think someone who came from Sora of all people would be a little more boisterous. [Name] grimaced at the thought of being the Contractor of two Soras and was grateful that the Nobody was not like him.
Not long after the group left the house, they arrived at a small building with a traditional Japanese-styled roof. It was a beautiful building and [Name] whistled at the sight of it, happy with the appearance. Everyone walked in and paid for themselves, except for their visitor. Due to her running away from someone and randomly falling through a hole, she didn't have any money. Kairi chimed in and gladly paid for her however, causing [Name] to apologize for not bringing any cash of her own. Thus the group split up, heading towards their designated gender-based changing rooms.

The boys undressed and covered their waists with the towels that had been provided. After securing the cloth in place, the three of them headed towards the unisex hot springs.
"Remind me again why we didn't just head over to the male hot springs?" Riku inquired.
"Because this one has more space!" Sora lowered his head beneath the water, slowly releasing bubbles of air whilst enjoying the warmth.
-
"I'm going to go ahead now [Name]" Kairi announced.
"Ok, I'll meet you there! Sorry for taking so long to get undressed," [Name] apologized. The red-head only smiled at this and disappeared from the doorway. A few minutes later after wrapping a towel around her torso, [Name] exited the dressing room and wandered down the hallway in search of her destination.

"Well I'm thirsty, so I'm gonna get something to drink and then I'll wait in the lobby," Riku stated while lifting himself out of the water. He assumed that the other two heard what he had just said despite no gestures of acknowledgement were being made. He grabbed a bottle of water that was set out in rows inside a mini-fridge. After taking a long swig of the beverage, he noticed [Name] walking towards his way. That was when an idea came into his head.
"Hey, if you're looking for the hot springs, it'll be the second door on your right." Riku pointed down the hallway with a straight look on his face.
"Oh, thank you!" The girl, clueless of what Riku had in mind, followed his directions and quickly arrived at the door she was looking for. The silver-headed boy stifled a laugh into his hand and smirked.
"Maybe this will help Sora grow up a little."
