Summary: Sora is the Keyblade master, and he has Heartless attacking him left and right. But what if one took a liking to him and refused to believe she is as evil as everyone thinks? Based off the manga, so there are some differences to the game.
Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat DO NOT own Kingdom Hearts, Disney, or Heartless. Well, maybe this specific Heartless...

Chapter 5 - Trial and Her Error

'Goodygoodygoodygoody..' Kali excitedly thought as she and Sora raced for the door, but Donald grabbed them.

"Not yet! I have to make sure the coast is clear first!" He put Kali down and poked his head out of the door. "Looks safe... Come on!"

He and Goofy stepped out, Goofy humming a merry tune. Sora was happily going too, until Kali suddenly raced up his back and held onto his head for dear life.

"Kali? What are you so scared about?" He asked curiously. She pointed a shaky finger downwards, whimpering the whole time. The gang slowly looked down, and wished they didn't even step out. They started screaming and then began the rapid descent.

Kali at first kept her eyes shut, but opening them revealed they were in a kind of tunnel and they were passing all sorts of furniture and stuff found in almost any house. She was too interested in the weird tunnel that she didn't even see the ground coming up fast, until the gang hit it. Goofy looked like he landed the hardest, and right on top of Donald too.

"A-hyuk, it's like falling down's all we ever do!" He dizzily grinned.

"Oh hush up, and get off!" Donald growled. So Goofy did.

As soon as Donald got up off the floor, something small and white planted itself on his head and immediately took off.

"Oh dear, I'm late! So late! The Queen will have my head for sure!" The small white rabbit cried out as he ran down the hall and out of sight.

Sora sweatdropped, not sure what just happened. "..What was that all about?"

"Let's follow him!" Donald shouted out and chased after him. "Wait up, effin' rabbit!" he yelled out even louder.

'I doubt he'd stop now for that...' Kali sighed and hurried after the trio.

They ended up following the rabbit's shadow for awhile, then lost him around a corner. There was a door there, so they all figured that's where he went. Donald was the one to open it, revealing a room that looked like it was both a bedroom and a parlor. The four looked around the room, but there was no rabbit.

"Wonder where he went?" Goofy asked as they looked around.

Kali saw something run by her feet. She did a double take and still couldn't believe her eyes. "Sskkeee!"

The others looked down at the rabbit, also in shock. Still they followed until he reached a small door only he could fit in. Kali figured she could probably still follow him, but didn't want to leave Sora with those two goofballs.

"Wonder how he got so small?" Sora asked. Donald and Goofy shrugged their shoulders, obviously not knowing either. "Look how tiny this door is!" He nearly mumbled to himself.

"I am not too tiny, you're simply too large!" Well that certainly made everyone jump, and Sora yelped in surprise. "Needn't be so loud.. If you want to pass, simply injest the contents of that bottle on the table. And hurry it up."

"A talking door!" "Good afternoon, ahyuk!"

Sora turned towards the table he just now noticed. He picked up the bottle and read the tag on it. "Drink me?" He wasn't sure he should drink it or not. Hell, for all he knew it was poison. He figured he would drink it anyway, since the rabbit most likely went through the same thing.

Almost as soon as he finished takig a sip, he felt himself falling. He looked down to see... 'Am I shrinking?' He looked towards the others with concern. They were shrinking too? It was over before they knew it, leaving them less than four inches tall.

Sora looked like he was about to freak, but instead, a smile of pure excitement crept on his face. "Awesome, we really did shrink! Oh my god, I can't wait to tell Riku and Kairi!"

"Khrrrrr..." Kali wasn't as enthusiastic. In fact, she was actually growling a little now that she was even smaller than she was just getting used to.

"Sora was now walking up to the door. "Now we can go -" He stopped when he found out the door was locked. "Hey, open up!" He shouted a little louder now. The only response he got was a snore.

"Over here Sora!" Sora looked over towards Goofy and Donald. "We can just go through this hole, ahyuk!"

Kali quickly scampered over to it and stopped before going through. She wasn't so sure about what was on the other side. She sensed something bad might happen soon, but didn't know what.

"Come on Kali, it's not so bad!" Sora said as he picked her up and placed her on his head.

'I hope you're right Sora..' She thought as they again came into light, and plenty of foliage.

The sound of a trumpet got their attention right away. They looked ahead and saw what kind of looked like a courthouse, but outside?

"Court is now in session!" The group blinked in slight confusion before sneaking closer for a better view.

"This girl is the culprit, there's no doubt about it!" The large woman in red bellowed. "And the reason is... because I say so, that's why!"

The young girl on the stand looked up in shock. "That's not fair! I've done absolutely nothing wrong!"

"The heck? A little girl?" Sora continued to watch in disbelief.

"Are you trying to make me angry? I find the defendant, Alice, GUILTY AS CHARGED!!"

Tears began to fill her eyes. "How could you.."

"You are guilty of attempted theft of the heart of Queen of Hearts!"

That sentence made Kali wince. She knew one of those Heartless things was behind it, but it almost felt like she was the guilty one.

"Maybe we should help her out." Sora stated. Kali nodded, despite the risk.

Donald was already shaking his head no as soon as he heard the word 'help'. "If we meddle in the affairs of this world..."

"Off with her head!" Came another shout from the Queen.

The girl was now crying for mercy, which was the point where Sora could no longer stay out of it. "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!" Dolald rolled his eyes and reluctantly followed along with Goofy.

"And who are you, you scum? You dare interfere with the proceeding of this court?"

Sora and the gang winced a little when they were yelled at, but tried not to show it."We know who the real culprit is!" He shouted out.

"Ahuyk, yeah! It was the Heartle-" Goofy covered his mouth in time before he said too much. Donald just sweatdropped at his near slip-up.

"Hogwash! You have any evidence to support your claim?" The Queen asked.

Sora gulped. "Uh, I'm working on that..." Kali just did a facepalm, now wondering why she teamed up with these guys in the first place.

Sora watched as a card soldier placed he whimpering Alice in a cage. The Queen smirked. "Very well. I shall humor your claim. Bring me evidence of Alice's innocence. Fail and it's off with your heads!" She them pounded the gavel down.

Sora and the gang stared in shock when they heard the punishment for failure. The Queen was getting irritated and impatient very quickly. "I SAID GO!!" She slammed the gavel even harder now, which snapped the group out of it and they made a blind dash into a nearby forest.

Man, I still feel like I'm not updating this fast enough, but at least this is going somewhere now. I appreciate everyone's reviews so far; I didn't think this one would be so popular. Well, it is compered to my other works...

Kali makes noises! It's so cute!
