Okay now that my arm is healed, I can write again so, here's the next chapter in my not so loved first fic.
Chapter Two
Kairi fell to the ground as her father stepped on her tail as she tried to run off. She looked up at him slowly with an innocent grin. He smirked as he looked down at her. Her perked ears then lay flat against her head, a scowl replacing the grin.
"Well…I almost made it!" She said her ears perking up again as the smirk on her father's face changed to a grin.
"Go back inside, Kairi," He said softly motioning with his head towards the den, his red mane flowing as he did so.
"What if Naminé goes with me? Then can I go?" She asked, her eyes pleading.
He sighed and nodded, "Just remember don't talk to strangers, and don't go near the Outlands," he said as Kairi turned and ran back towards the den.
"Naminé!" Kairi called as she ran into the den skidding to a stop next to her sleeping sister. "Lazy excuse for a sister," Kairi muttered under her breathe as she walked next to Naminé's ear. She crouched down next to Naminé's ear. "FIRE!"
Naminé simply rolled over and away from her sister. Kairi huffed and walked over to the sleeping cub.
"Naminé! WAKE UP!" Kairi screamed in Naminé's ear as she yawned.
"Why are you yelling? I'm right here you know," Naminé said sleepily. She looked up at her light pink furred twin.
Kairi simply rolled her eyes.
"Yeah yeah sorry, but guess what?" Kairi cried ecstatically jumping up and down remembering the reason she came to get her sister.
"What is it Kairi?" Naminé asked as she stretched. She began licking her golden fur as she awaited her sister's 'big news.' She only wondered what it would be today, perhaps she had seen another cloud shaped like a rabbit, or had seen her reflection (her beautiful reflection if she recalled correctly) in another shiny rock.
"He's going to let us go by ourselves today!" This made Naminé's ears perk up.
"Without anyone? Really?" Naminé asked just as excited as Kairi, this was much better than the rabbit cloud.
"Yeah but we have to go now!"
Naminé nodded and then followed her sister out of the den. The two were halfway down the path towards the plain when Kairi stopped, nearly causing Naminé to run into her.
"What are you doing?" Naminé asked softly.
"Want to do something fun?" Kairi asked, a mischievous gleam in her eyes.
Naminé was silent for a few seconds before she got what Kairi was implying. She shook her head and took a step back from her sister.
"Kairi, we're not allowed and you know it," Naminé said softly as she looked down at the ground. "You remember what happened to Riku…"
Kairi feel silent, he had been missing ever since he left on his own towards the Outlands, more than likely caught by outsiders.
"We'll be extra careful, come on Nami!" Kairi said with a pout.
"I'm not so sure Kairi…" Naminé said uneasily. "What if something happens?"
"Then something will happen, there's no guarantee that I won't fall over dead right now, you know," Kairi said seriously.
"Kairi…that wasn't funny," Naminé said bluntly.
"It wasn't supposed to be, so please!" Kairi said giving her sister a cute pouting look that everyone eventually gave in to when she used it.
Namina was silent for a few seconds before giving a reluctant nod with a defeated sigh. Kairi smirked and turned towards the plains, Naminé soon following behind.
"I don't think I've ever been this bored in my whole life," Sora whined as he rolled over on his back.
"Will you stop your complaining?" Roxas asked as he sat near the edge of the cliff.
"It's not my fault this is so boring," Sora murmured. (Kind of like this fic huh? Boring?)
"Just shut up," Roxas said with a sigh as he watched the green plains.
After about an hour of silence and what seemed like a million dumb questions from Sora, Roxas's head perked up.
"Sora," Roxas said quietly as he turned to the cub that was playing with a blade of grass between his paws.
"Uh huh?" He said as his tongue was out to the side in concentration as he a tried to bury the blade of grass in the dirt.
"Pay attention Sora!" Roxas whispered.
Sora jumped up from his position on the ground and quickly stood next to Roxas.
"What?"
"Look," Roxas motioned with his paw towards the plains.
Sora scanned the horizon, seeing nothing but grass, rock, grass, rock, tree, grass, antelope, rock, lion cubs running towards the border, rock, tree, more antelope…..
"Sora! Lion cubs!" Roxas cried putting his head in his paws.
"…Oh yeah I saw them!"
"Right of course you did, but look where they're headed," Roxas smirked.
The two cubs were heading straight for the boarder, which meant they had a perfect shot at getting something to eat. Roxas turned and headed down the cliff and around to where the two were headed with Sora following behind lazily. As the reached the canyon that lead towards the Pride Lands they could see the green plains coming into view.
Roxas skidded to a stop and hid behind a rock, peeking around the other side. Sora came running, sliding right next to his brother as Roxas rolled his eyes.
Kairi became a little uneasy as she began to see the canyons and gray landscape that lay in front of them. Her run became a slow walk, as she got closer, Naminé following behind, with a worried expression.
"Maybe we should go back Kairi," Namina said softly as she walked beside her sister.
"Stop being such a chicken Nami," Kairi said as she took a step across the boarder line that was marked by a black charred rock.
Roxas and Sora pounced them both, holding them to the ground.
"Get off of me!" Kairi whined slamming her head on the ground below her.
"…"
"NOW!"
Kairi pushed Sora off of her, sending him over to the rock, where he sat quite dazed. Kairi walked over to where Roxas and Naminé were….surprised to see them gazing in to each other's eyes…….
"…Do you want me to push him off of you?" Kairi asked slowly smirking at her sister.
Roxas simply got off of her and went over to where Sora sat giving them confused looks.
"…"
"…"
"…" Naminé looked from her sister to the cubs. "…We're having a staring contest because…?"
Kairi turned and gave her sister a 'what-the-heck-are-you-talking-about' look.
"Well no one is saying anything…I was just asking," She said sitting on the dirt with a sigh.
Sora leaned closer to Roxas whispering in his ear. "Uh…what now?"
Roxas looked at Sora with the 'you're an idiot' look he normally gave his brother, he opened his mouth to say something, but remained silent…What were they going to do now?
"I told you we shouldn't of came here!" Naminé whispered harshly.
Kairi smirked and walked over to where Sora sat. She lifted a paw and placed it on his head. "Nami, do you see how small these 'lions' are?"
"Hey!" Sora pushed her paw off of his patch of fur that she had flattened. "We're just as tall as you are! No, my bad, taller!"
"Well if you ask me…I'd say you both are a couple of babies," The smirk never leaving her face. She stood staring him in the eye.
"I don't remember asking you…" Sora snapped.
"Kairi, I think you should stop," Naminé said softly looking at Roxas with worried eyes.
"Sora back off," Roxas said quietly.
"What are you talking about, it was your idea to ambush 'em!" Sora cried turning to face his brother.
Roxas shrugged and turned back to Naminé. He grinned as she smiled before turning back towards Kairi.
"Kairi, let's go before we get in trouble, please?" Naminé begged her sister.
Kairi sighed and then turned around hitting Sora with her tail in his face. Sora was about to pounce when Roxas put a paw on his tail, stopping his movements. Sora turned and glared at him as Roxas simply shook his head. Sora turned and headed back towards the canyon, Kairi back towards the Pridelands. Roxas turned from Sora back to Naminé as she walked up to him.
"I'm sorry, for…pouncing you earlier I mean," Roxas said nervously.
"It's fine…say…would you maybe…want to…meet her again sometime?" she looked down nervously at her paws.
"…Uh, yeah, I guess so…Yeah I would like that," he grinned poking his chest out. "I'm Roxas, by the way."
She giggled softly, shaking her head. "Naminé."
"Well, I better go get Sora, who knows what kind of trouble he's getting into," he sighed. "So…two sun rises from today?"
"That's fine," Naminé said, as she continued to stare into his blue eyes. I feel like I could get lost and drown. They're just like the water at the watering hole, only clearer and gentle. How are they different from us? Was dad wrong?
"Well…see you Naminé," Roxas smiled and turned around and began running towards the canyon.
He was running along until he heard his name being called. He looked around to see Axel on a ledge not to far from the ground. Axel jumped down and landed in front of him.
"Well, well, what was that buddy?" He smirked as he walked past Roxas towards the border. He sniffed the air. "Seems like she's still there," He turned to Roxas, "Coming?"
"Uh…what for?" Roxas asked suspiciously.
"Well…you'll see," Axel walked over to him and picked him up by the back of his neck. (What's that called anyway? You know when they do that? They pick them up by their…. anyone know?)
"Axel! Let me down!" Roxas squirmed for a few seconds before giving up. He's played this game before and there was no way Axel would let him down.
Axel arrived at the border, Roxas in….his mouth. He dropped the cub on the dirt and looked around the scorched rock.
"Well, lookie there, she hasn't left, looks like she's looking for something if you ask me," he chuckled, "guess I'll have to give her a hand huh?"
Axel walked out quietly, Naminé's back to him as she scanned the plains. Where had Kairi gone?
"What cha looking for?" Axel said with a smile as she jumped at his voice.
She turned and looked up at him as he stood over her. She lowered to the ground under his glare.
"I…uh…" Naminé stuttered.
"Axel!" Roxas came out from behind the rock. He ran over and stood in front of Naminé. He glared up at him. "Lay off."
"Aww, wittle Woxas pwaying the hero?" Axel said in a baby voice, causing the fur on Roxas's neck and back to stand up.
"Just leave her alone!" Roxas cried. He forgot how much trouble he could get into for doing something like this, standing up to one of the elders. But at the moment, the only thing he could think of was Naminé, and her eyes they seemed to mirror her thoughts.
Axel shook out his flaming (not literally) red mane and bared his teeth. "You're gonna regret standing up to me lil man."
Roxas stood his ground as Axel lunged at him. Not moving from his position to protect Naminé. Axel was knocked off track in the air as a brown ball of fur hit him in the side.
"Sora!" Roxas cried with a smile.
Sora staggered to his feet with a smile. "Hey…bro,"
Sora walked over and stood beside Roxas as Axel pushed himself to his feet. He turned and glared at the three cubs, fire in his eyes.
I'm sorry this probably isn't to interesting, but I'd like to thank the people who left me reviews, signed and anonymous. So thank you, please leave a review to tell me if I've improved!
