Sorry I haven't been updating. Life is tough. D:

An explosion sounded behind Riku and he jumped away. I stood up, slowly, my body hurt, but I made sure to be aware of my movements and by backing away.

"H-how did you do that?" Maleficent demanded.

I shrugged. "I don't know, but I did it anyway, didn't I?"

Riku was giving me a scared look as he started backing out of the room. Maleficent glared at him and he stood straight.

"Where do you think you're going?" She demanded.

"No where, sorry," Riku looked down and stared at where the explosion had gone off.

I smiled at Maleficent. "Shows you I'm not what you thought I was. Maybe I'm more than what I thought too."

"Airie, calm down," Riku begged lifting his head to look at me. "Don't do anything you're going to regret."

"Oh, Riku, why would I do that?" I asked. "I'm not a dumb as you think, thank you very much, I'm more than that, can't you tell?" I turned and walked closer to the door. "I'm going to my room."

Riku's Pov. (Hey, cool! It's Riku time!)

I watch Airie leave. There was something different about her, in the way she walked, in the way she talked to me. Airie never talked to anyone like that. It was a surprise when she even talked to anybody but Sora at all.

I turned my head toward Maleficent. "What did you do to her?"

"Exactly what I told you I would do if she refused," she replied. "She was resistant, and she was stubborn. So I used the darkness to persuade her."

"That's wrong! We could have just let her leave." I screamed back. This was not the type of thing for Airie. She was weak, I must admit. But if you really pissed her off, you'd be in for one hell of a ride. Trust me, I know from experience.

"And then what? She would be nothing more than a wondering soul without a purpose," Maleficent gripped her staff so hard I could see her veins sticking out in her wrist. "then she would probably been eaten by a heartless. Or the darkness, then she would be right back here, wouldn't she?"

I looked away, avoiding the truth. "Whatever," I looked at her one more time, then walked away to check on Airie. When I opened her door, she was sitting on her bed staring at her hands. She looked up and saw me, then smirked.

"Hey, Riku," she said. "How are you?"

"Just fine," I said, a bit confused. "what about you?"

Airie's smirk turned into a genuine smile. She stood up and turned around a few time, twirling so I could see her, back and front.

"Me? I'm fine," she stopped spinning, not the slightest bit dizzy, and put her hands on her hips. "I wonder…"

"Wonder what?" I asked.

She broke from a fantasy and looked toward me. "Oh, I was just wondering about Sora. I wonder if he's still alive," she glared over at me. "or if the darkness took him too."

"I doubt it," I said, knowing Sora was perfectly fine. "I saw him the other day while you were sleeping. He was fine. He wields a keyblade now."

Airie seemed to take interest in this. "He's…fine? I want to see him. Where is he?"

"You're not well Airie," I insisted. "You're still hurt and I think you need to stay-"

The next thing I knew I was pinned against the ground with Airie straddling me.

"Listen to me," she demanded. "I will see Sora. And you will take me to him, got it?" I only nodded, wanting her off of my waist. "Good," she got off of me and stood up, then held a hand out to me. When I took it, I could feel it through my gloves, she was ice cold. I pulled away quickly and stood up on my own. It was like she was dead and cold. In fact…she was extremely pale. Since her hair was so dark, as her eyes, she looked like a dead girl, or something. She looked skinnier in the moonlight, as she was too skinny already, and that made her look more like a zombie.

"What?" Airie demanded when she saw me staring at her small figure. I looked up, and she smirked. "You're such a pervert. Now, take me to Sora."

I nodded and took her wrist, despite the coldness of it, and led her to where Maleficent was. When we got there, I told Maleficent what Airie wanted to do. I had a pretty good idea of what she wanted to do, but I was putting in the back of my head that Airie would do something so violent.

Maleficent allowed us to go out, so I transported us to Halloween Town. Sora was currently there, as Maleficent told me.

Airie's Pov (Back to this little chick.)

I looked around and crossed my arms. This place was full of nothing but graves and hills. When I looked at Riku I noticed his outfit had changed slightly. Well, his outfit was the same, but his skin seemed greyer, like it was decaying. I looked down at my hands to make sure my skin was the same, only to realize that they were covered by black gloves that ended just above the knuckles so the only part of my hand I could see were my fingers. I was wearing a black long sleeved shirt and black pants and of course combat boots, my outfit had changed completely except for the color.

"Okay, so where's Sora?" I asked directing my attention back to Riku.

He shrugged. "I don't where he is exactly, we need to find him. Or he can find us. Either way, you'll eventually see him."

I nodded and looked around. The only thing I saw were graves that were so earthen they were nearly faded into the ground, and a hill that stood very high. I climbed onto it an stood on my tiptoes, trying to see if I could find Sora from there. Nothing.

I sighed and slid off the hill and landed on my feet on the ground. Riku came over to me and we both started walking into the town that was ahead of us.

It was a chapter! Yay! Sorry, I really couldn't think of a good outfit for Airie to wear in Halloween Town and don't ask me how Riku transported them there. He just did.
