Chapter 3: Risks

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS, SQUARE ENIX, FINAL FANTASY OR THE CHARACTERS WITHIN THIS STORY, ETC. ENJOY! ^_^

Inside the first room, the television is still on repeating over the same news report. Up beside the room door is luggage stacked on the hotel cart, and the maid pulls up outside the door. Going to each room changing the beds and towels not cleaning anything; every now and then sits down to watch television. Riku is standing at the door watching her, and decides to wake up the others before she reaches their room.

Riku_ Everyone get up, it's sign out time! –Riku grabs the keys to the vehicle and storms out of the room-

Sora_ Five more minutes . . .

Namine_ Coming, let me get Kairi and Shion! –Namine looks over at the clock, shocked that she over slept.- Come on, it's time to go people, Riku said the maid is coming. –Kairi still lays asleep-

Shion_ Where's my suitcase?

Namine_ Probably at the front, we're supposed to be out of here by now. –Lea walks in-

Lea_ We're half an hour late, where's Kairi?

Namine_ She won't get up, she's being stubborn. –Lea picks up Kairi, and Namine and Shion follow him out of the room-

Roxas_ Wait, I'm up, get up Sora it's time to go! –Sora throws a pillow at Roxas- Sora . . . . ok we're going to leave with Kairi, so you can just stay here. –Sora jumps up-

Sora_ Don't leave me!

Roxas_ That's what I thought, grab Lea's suitcase, he's carrying Kairi.

Shion, Lea, and Namine run down the stairs since the elevator was full of people trying to check out.

Kairi_ Hey, what's going on? Where are we going? –Lea puts Kairi down-

Lea_ Everyone head to the van, Shion go back up and make sure Roxas and Sora are ok. I'm checking us out.

Out of the elevator comes Roxas pushing the luggage cart, and Sora leaning on the rail beside him.

Sora_ Forgot these?

Shion_ Oh yeah, sorry about that, let me help Roxas.

Sora_ It's all good, we got it, at least he does.

The girls run outside in the cold rain, it's hard to search for the van because it's so foggy but they eventually find it.

Riku_ What took you so long? We're wasting gas, Lea won't be happy.

Kairi_ Turn it off, don't lecture us!

Riku_ It costs more to start it back up, miss know-it-all!

Kairi sits on the left in the middle, and Namine and Shion climb in the back Shion on the right. Pushing up behind the vehicle is Sora and Roxas opening the trunk, and throwing in luggage. Meanwhile with Lea at the front desk, a man with pink hair assists him, his name tag saying "Lumaria".

"Nice name Marluxia, we'll be back, just goin to visit Radiant Garden."

"Yours isn't bad either, Lea, didn't know you kept your female name."

"I guess, I'll never be such a lesbian as you, you're the ultimate femine goddess."

"Shut the hell up! Just hand over your pay!" –The same maid that was on their floor came in the room, but Lea never noticed who it was.

Arlene_ I'm finished with the assigned rooms, where's the manager?

Lumaria_ Why are you finished before everyone else? Your shift ends at 12:00, It's only 9:45?

Arlene_ Axel! Didn't know you stay here, try not making flower boy angry. He's not gay . . . –Arlene comes over to whisper in his ear- His boyfriend is though.

Lea_ I don't stay here, not in this world. Don't plan on following me, just go back home. -Lea slams money to the desk- I have somewhere else to be. –and exits the hotel, leaving Arlene pissed off and confused-

Roxas sits in the middle between Shion and Namine, and Sora sits in the opposite seat from Kairi, Lea sits in the passenger. They whole way to Kairi's house everyone was silent, except for the rain and hail falling on the van. When they finally get there, Kairi runs in the back of her house and everyone waits.

Riku_ Sora and I houses are down a few blocks, but we live beside each other so we can save some time.

Lea_ You really knew each other for awhile, huh?

Riku_ We lived here all our lives, so yeah. –In the back Sora is taunting Roxas, and everyone is laughing. Lea thinks back when he had a friend like that, and darkness overcame their town. Little black creatures with yellow eyes; had destroyed everything and everyone in their path. After that everything was blank, he joined the Organization with his so called best friend, Saix.-

Lea_ We have a lot in common, you're the ultimate friend.

Riku_ No, I'm not . . . but we all make mistakes though.

Roxas_ I wish she wouldn't take so long, what's up with girl's and their "needs"? –Roxas looks to Shion-

Shion_ Don't look at me like that! Besides I'm always in a group of boys, I just go to Namine, you won't look at her that way.

Lea_ The only boys you know is Roxas and Sora, so you're just around males, Got it memorized?

Shion_ Yeah, I got it. . . . Stop looking at me!

Roxas_ Namine doesn't take up time, besides she can take as long as she wants. I'm sure Lea would agree.

Shion_ That's not fair, she probably sits on the toilet drawing pictures of me being stabbed!

Sora_ Uh oh, this is awkward. –Sora turns around back in his seat and Namine begins to fake cry-

Roxas_ Please don't cry, Shion will apologize, you make me feel like a weight is on my chest.

Namine_ I'm hurting you? I'm I really hurting everyone? If so, I'm really sorry, having a heart feels weird. But what she said was true, you love me and not Shion right?

Shion_ You were hurting my ears, but you have everyone in here feeling bad for you. I'm girl so I'm not falling for it-

Roxas_ I can't believe you did that! Of course I love you, me and Shion are just friends, Shion you don't have to apologize because what Nami did was wrong. I still don't know what made you do that.

Kairi comes back with a suitcase/backpack, and she's holding it over her head to protect her from the hail falling. Sora reaches over to pushes the button that opens the door, and Kairi jumps in putting her bag in her lap.

Kairi_ Can someone please put this in the back for me?

Roxas_ Sure thing, no one noticed you, right?

Kairi_ Nope, and I got everything I need so no worries people, all set.

Riku drives not far down the street where him and Sora's house was, right beside each other. They both get out the van and run into their houses, and don't take as long as Kairi did.

Shion_ So what were you having trouble to decide to pack Kairi?

Kairi_ A lot of things, I didn't know if our next hotel had pool but I brought a swimsuit just in case. Then I couldn't decide if I should bring matching outfits for all of us!

Namine_ Kawaii, that's so sweet Kairi.

Lea_ God, help me

Shion_ Quiet Lea, yes Kairi that was thoughtful of you, we need to share our clothes with Nami.

Kairi_ That's right! Namine you can wear whatever you like.

Shion_ Same here, even though . . . I wish I could've gotten an apology. –Namine reaches over Roxas and hugs Shion with tears running down her face-

Namine_ I'm sorry, you are a really good friend, I hurt you and you offer me all you have!

Roxas_ Can't breathe! Help! –Roxas's voice starts to break-

Shion_ Aww poor Roxy, let's give him a hug too. –Both girls squeeze Roxas till he starts to turn purple- Oops, sorry.

Lea_ Enough of the love fest, we're being followed.

Roxas_ Again? You mean they followed us all the way here?

Lea_ No someone different, buckle up. –Lea hops over in the driver seat, Namine looks behind her outside the window. There was a black Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, and men dressed in black suits started to walk towards the car.

Namine_ They're coming toward us! –All of a sudden the van pulls off and everyone falls out of their seats-

Lea_ I said buckle up! Kairi call Riku and Sora and tell them to not come out of their houses.

Kairi_ Ok, you always know what to do.

Lea_ Right now, I'm your guardian; I have no choice but to watch over you guys.

Roxas_ Who are they? That's not the Organization!

Shion_ Must the social services or government, just look at that nice car.

Kairi_ Riku won't pick up his phone, and neither will Sora. I think the storm is blocking the signal.

Lea_ I just don't have time for this, not today. –Lea stops the van and starts walking toward the Lamborghini following them-

Shion_ Lea! What are you doing? Get back here . . . Lea!

Roxas_ Everyone run to Riku's house, I'm going with Lea. –Roxas helps the girls out of the van, and starts running behind them and watching the Lamborghini. Once they're almost to Riku's house, Roxas turns back around to the mysterious car and runs back in the hail to help Lea. He hides in the bushes under some trees near the woods, so the rain wasn't hitting him. They start to ask him questions, Roxas hears them ask why he ran away, then one man pulls out a knife. The second man handcuffs Lea, and the other threatens to kill him. Roxas hears people running towards him, and they grab him from his shoulders and put a bag over his head.-

Voice_ Roxas!

Roxas begins to think in his mind It's all over, they're just going to kill us, probably cause they know we were the Organization. We're all in danger, as long as the others are safe I'm fine with that.

There is a sound of screeching and a car driving off, and the weight of people on him was lifted. Someone pulls the bag off of Roxas's head, and Roxas gasps for air.

Sora_ You ok? –All around them are bodies, just lying still and the others soon meet up with them-

Roxas_ Yeah, Wait . . . . where's Lea? –Everyone is quiet, no one makes eye contact with Roxas.-

Roxas_ Dammit, WHERE'S LEA!- Roxas breaks down in tears-

Riku_ Crying won't help us, they called reinforcement. Lea is fine, one of the men stole the car and left the other. He's around here somewhere, and he has Lea so just be careful. –Namine sits down beside Roxas and starts to hug him, Roxas stands up wiping his tears-

Sora_ Everyone pull get ready, they could attack any second. –They keybearers surround the helpless Namine and summon their weapons, suddenly someone goes after Shion and she swings the metal into his face-

Roxas_ How lame, going for the girls first.

A mob attacks everyone at the same time, it's hard to see because it's so dark in the woods. Everyone takes down the mob staying in their positions in front of Namine, but Kairi was struggling to fight because she had no training. Her method was to just keeping swinging her Keyblade, and surprisingly it worked.

Kairi_ Whew, I'm . . . getting tired, are they gone?

Sora_ Yeah, they're gone we need to find that car now.

Shion_ Guys look, over there! Don't take Lea! –She runs out of the bushes towards to car, and a man comes in front of her with a gun towards her head; she falls to the ground in defeat. Riku shoots a blue fire ball of darkness at the armed man, and the body falls lifeless.-

Shion_ I wasn't thinking . . . . Thank you.

Lea sits in the car, head down with his arms behind his back, and looks like he's in pain. The group runs to the car and Sora hits the car door with his Keyblade, damaging the beautiful car.

Lea_ I told you guys to stay out of it.

Namine_ We're not leaving without anyone, especially not you.

Lea_ They're out to kill you too, I've lived my life already. It doesn't matter if it ends so soon.

Shion_ What the hell is wrong? I know it's disrespectful, but you're scaring me! Why are both of you giving up?

Lea_ YOU'RE SCARED OF ME SAVING YOUR LIFE? –Lea turns his head away- Shion, I know you're hurt, I don't blame you for getting angry. You being turned away multiple times, I just gave up, I want everyone to know I'm sorry. It would be useless to do it, but I had to give it a try.

Roxas_ Let's go before more come, help me Shion. –They both pull Lea out, and help him to the van- Someone find those keys to these handcuffs.

Namine_ I'll do it, I wanna at least help doing something! –Riku holds her back- Let me go, this isn't fair!

Sora_ Kairi, want to help me get our luggage?

Kairi_ Sure, I'll race you, even though I'm sure to lose.

When Sora and Kairi run off, Riku takes Namine by the hand and begins to walk over to the unconscious man. Still holding her hand, he begins to search for the keys to the handcuffs.

Namine_ Can I at least look out if someone is near? –Riku gives her glare, and continues searching- Fine, that was a mean look you gave me.

Riku_ Ok, lets go. –He picks up a wallet, a stun gun, and some keys-

Namine_ Why do you need a tazor? You have a Keyblade, and everyone else has weapons too.

Riku_ It's for you, make up your mind or stop complaining. . . . . don't ask anymore questions.

Sora and Kairi arrive running back; everyone is drenched with rain right now. There are bags on the luggage Sora and Kairi are carrying, and Sora sees the tazor in Namine's hands.

Sora_ Uh, why is Nami carrying a stun gun, and why did you steal that guy's wallet?

Kairi_ Don't start arguing now, get in the van!

Riku_ Wait, if we take their car they can't find us, they know the van's license plate. All we need to do is take out their GPS system or gadget that keeps track where they all go.

Namine_ I'll do it! –Namine runs to the car, and starts pulling out any unneeded objects to the car-

Kairi_ I'll tell the others! –Kairi runs toward the van-

Riku_ Sora, just put all that stuff from Nami in the trunk, and I'll help with the luggage. Ok?

Sora walks over to the car, and admires the exterior of the Lamborghini. The tan soft leather seats, and a 2010 version to be more specific. He starts hugging the car; smelling the brand new car scent. Namine seems to be finished, and stands there staring at Sora.

Namine_ Is this a bad time to ask help me put this in the back? –Sora jumps away from the vehicle, and begins rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment-

Sora_ Hehe, sure no problem!

*Meanwhile*

Kairi_ People we're stealing the other car! They know this license plate, it's best if we didn't have any more stalkers.

Riku_ We know it's small, but we can't afford loosing someone's life.

Lea_ Good idea, but that's seven people in a four person, no two person car. Let's just switch the plates, even better.

Roxas_ Make up your mind people! I'm sick of moving back and forth!

Riku_ Shut up, we'll stick with Lea's plan. Kairi go tell Nami and Sora to bring the plate back here.

Kairi_ *sigh* Ok –She runs back to the luxurious vehicle, and Riku hands Shion the keys for Lea-

Lea_ I put the right person in charge, if it was Roxas he'll still be crying under that tree.

Roxas_ Whatever, let's just get this stupid thing switched. –Shion unlocks the handcuffs on Lea's wrists-

Shion_ You're bleeding! They had it on that tight? Wait here, don't help the guys. –Shion runs to the back of the van, and gets her suitcase. Then opens it up, and rips one of her shirts apart and runs back to Lea- We don't want it to get infected, so I'll wrap it up.

Lea_ You ripped one of your clothes, just for that?

Shion_ You need medical treatment now, not a wrap. Metal just cut through your flesh, this is serious. I wish I knew that before.

Roxas_ We got it! –He runs over to the Lamborghini, and takes the other plate from Sora. Riku gets in the driver's seat, and starts up the vehicle. Once both Key wielders and their Nobodies finish screwing in the plates, Sora, Kairi, and Namine return back-

Riku_ Did you put their GPS in the back, Sora?

Namine_ No, Kairi and I had to ourselves.

Sora_ Don't lie o n me, everyone just get back in your seats.

When everyone buckles up, the car pulls off from the neighborhood. Seeing people look through their blinds, Riku knows he's dishonored his family even more. Always being with Sora and Kairi, seeing more stares brings more gossip on their families .But they'll also rely on the trio to save the world, when their lives are at risk. Already behind on schedule, a series of events are ahead of them to get Lea, Roxas, and Shion where they need to be.

Still driving, they stop at the highway and police is surrounded everywhere. All roads blocked, and no one gets out of their car, or they'll be blown away somewhere by the 80 miles per hour hurricane.
