Hello everyone! I am sorry to those who wanted a new chapter or an ending for Currents but I just lost interest and I didn't like the plot anymore, I'm sorry! I really am! But I haven't given up on Sora/Ariel, I still love em! And I hope you do too ;) Well this story was just calling me to write it as it's been in my head for a long time... well I hope you like it!
WARNING AND DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ariel or Sora and mostly all the characters in this story. Yes this is an AU fic, and I did alter some things, mostly things like the ferry and China, the way this story will be is that Gummi Ships are like Airplanes, all the worlds are connected and treated as countries
The following mourning...
There was a lot of commotion going on at the castle the next day. Everyone was conversing over Ariel's sudden disappearance, rumors of kidnaping arose quickly and news spread fast to the towns people.
Mulan, one of Ariel's best friends was especially worried, she knew that Ariel would never allow herself to be kidnaped or taken, and Prince Eric wouldn't either. Mulan pondered her friends disappearance for a good deal of the mourning, and came to the conclusion that she had most definitely not been kidnaped, she probably just left to go out somewhere, but usually if Ariel were to do something like that she would leave a note so that nobody would worry. Mulan then decided to make leave for her favourite place to go meditate, an opening in the nearby forest, the place where she helped to train Ariel in martial arts.
Mulan exited the guest room in the castle that she had been staying in. The rest of the visiting Chinese and the emperor were taking refuge in Prince Eric's kingdom until the war back in China reached its end. Until then they occupied themselves by teaching others about the martial arts ad learned of the different customs here and taught of ancient Chinese law and legends. Mulan passed through the busy halls of the castle until she bumped into Eric...
"Mulan could I talk to you?" The Prince asked.
"Oh, um your highness, of course. Uh what is it?" Mulan replied knowing that the reason of this conversation had to do with Ariel.
"Did Ariel mention anything to you about running away?"
"Um no Prince, why do you ask?"
"Well I find it hard to believe that Ariel would get kidnaped, and I think I might have done something to offend her." The Prince shyly replied.
"Oh like what?" The warrior inquired.
"Um... well I'm not exactly sure." Eric said knowing full well that he was talking about his affair and how he thought Ariel might no.
"Well she didn't mention anything like that to me, but if I see her, I'll let you know." Mulan said, "Well what else would you do if you saw her stupid!" she said to herself.
"Ok thank you, um where you off to?" The Prince smiled and said.
"Um I'm going to meditate, uh, what do you plan on doing?" Mulan asked.
"Oh nothing, I think I may go see a friend, they might be able to help me get through this." Eric said with a smile knowing in his mind he meant Veronica.
"Oh." Mulan said with a tug at her green robe, she did not feel comfortable around the Prince, he kind of creped her out.
"Ok well I'm off, good day." Eric said as he turned and walked away.
"I think if my souse was missing, I would stay here and wait to see if they came back, not go out!" Mulan thought to herself as she walked through the hall.
Destiny Island...
Sora awoke early that mourning full of life, he sprung out of bed and ate his breakfast in less than ten minutes. He had a quick shower and then left for the day to go hang out with Kairi and the gang, Riku, Tidus, Selphie and Wakka. Today they were going to take the ferry to Destiny City, the bug city that they go to school in, and where their parent's work, but it was the summer and Sora and the gang decided they would take the train from Destiny City to Twilight town so that they could meet up with Hayner, Pence, and Olette, the group of kids who were Roxas' best friends, and soon became good friends to Sora and Kairi.
"Kay mom, I'm going!" Sora called to his mother as he went to leave the house.
"Ok sweety! Be back by eleven! Love you!" She called back to him.
"Love you too! Bye!" He said as he exited the door and ran out of the tree house to meet his friends at the dock. The ferry was old, it used to just be there to bring supplies to Destiny Island and transport the workers, but recently a school offered to take he Destiny Island children, so now kids are aloud to travel the ferry.
"C'mon Sora! It's almost here!" Riku called to his friend.
"I'm coming!" Sora called back.
As they were boarding the ferry Sora noticed that he couldn't stop looking at the ocean, which caused him to think of her... Why all of a sudden was he thinking about her while he was with Kairi? He hadn't seen her in months! This made Sora confused.
"Sora what's wrong?" Kairi asked as she took his hand.
"Oh nothing just tired" Sora lied.
"Ok well lets get a seat near the back!" Kairi giggled as she dragged him yet again, causing Sora to sigh...
Mulan's Meditation Sight...
Mulan had just entered the training sight when he heard a rustle in the brush, she turned to where the sound was coming from and assumed her fighting stance. She then quietly walked over to the unknown sound. Mulan slowly peered over the bush and found something... or someone she wasn't expecting.
"Ariel!" the warrior chimed in surprise.
"Oh, hi Mulan..." the Princess muttered. Ariel looked dirty and tired, Mulan doubted that she had gotten any sleep, her blue dress was ripped on some edges and she had a smudge of dirty on her left cheek.
"Ariel I'm so glad you're alright!" Mulan said while she helped her friend up to hug her, "what happened to you! Why did you flee the castle?"
"Mulan you can't repeat anything I'm about to say, and you cannot tell Eric where I am or that you found me! Promise?" The Princess asked while glaring at Mulan, he red-hair a mess.
"I promise!" the girl replied nodding her head.
"Ok, well yesterday I found Eric ma... making love to some girl in the basement! He's having an affair!" Ariel told her.
"Oh my gosh! That's terrible, do you know with who?"
"No, I don't know anything about it, I didn't get a clear look at her."
"Ariel I promise I won't say anything to Eric, I swear!"
"Thank you Mulan, you are a true friend" Ariel replied while hugging her friend. "Mulan, I don't think I can go back to the castle, do you think maybe I could go back to China with you? I could start a new life there and leave all this behind."
"Ariel I would like that but the Emperor would be that one to decide that, maybe you can become one of his protectors if he sees you are skilled enough, which I know you are, then you would be able to come to China with us." Mulan replied with a twinkle in her eye.
"Well, I can't go back to the castle, could you see if the Emperor could meet me here?" Ariel asked.
"The chances of that happening are slim Ariel, but I'll see what I can do, you stay here, maybe hide so incase someone comes they wont see you, then you'll be safe" Mulan told her friend concerned. Ariel nodded in understanding. "Ok, I'll be back soon with or without the Emperor." and with that, Mulan left the opening in the wood, and hurried to the castle.
Ariel was alone now and climbed back behind the bush where she had slept or tied to at least least night. She thought back o the dream about kissing Eric/Sora last night, she thought about how Sora saved her on numerous occasions and how cute she thought he was the first time she had seen him. The second time she realized that he had grown, and quite a bit, she had to admit he was hansom, and kind, heroic. The list goes on, she wondered if she had feelings for Sora, they were only a year apart and she was human now, and a soon-to-be widow if she got her hands on Eric! Ariel wondered what Sora was doing right now, if he was happy, if he had found his friends, I he had a girlfriend. The thought of him with one made Ariel a bit jealous, and she frowned at the thought.
"I wish you were here Sora" Ariel sighed...
Twilight Town...
The gang just arrived in Twilight Two, and Sora and Kairi were looking forward to introducing there friends to each other. The group made their way through the town, following Sora as he led them to the hangout.
"Sora?! Kairi?!" A voice said behind them. The group turned around to see Hayner, Pence and Olette all standing there eating good old sea-salt ice cream.
"Hey guys! We though we'd surprise you!" Sora exclaimed while rushing over to greet his friend.
"Yah, and these are our other friends from our island, Riku, Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka" Kairi said while pointing to each of them individually. The group of teenagers all greeted each other excited. They talked about how their lives had changed and what they were up to. After about an hour of chat, the kids got board and decided to play Hide and Seek Tag, Sora was it.
"97...98...99...100! Ready er not here I come!" Sora yelled as he uncovered his eyes and turned around to begin his hunt for his friends.
Kairi had followed Riku during Sora's counting to get some time with him, she secretly had begun to develop feelings for Riku, even though she was with Sora, and she had a pretty good idea that Riku liked her too.
"Riku?"
"Kairi? You followed me." Riku said surprised.
"Yah, listen there's something I need to tell you."
"Oh really, what's tha-" But he was cut off by Kairi's lips crashing against his, causing Riku to blush, he deepened the kiss, knowing that it was wrong, that Kairi was Sora's and that he shouln't but he gave into his emotions, the exact same thing happened to Kairi. Soon Kairi was up against the tree wrapping her arms around Riku, letting he emotions get the better of her. This was unfortunate, especially because the spiky haired brunette Sora, had been watching the whole thing. With tears in his eyes, he turned and ran away..
