Hey! Sorry it took so long. I have been busy and I just needed to find some time to write. I also neede some time to figure out how I was going to do things in the plot. Well, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 6:

SORA POV:

The mansion we just stepped into seemed to almost be a few centuries old by now. The corners of the ceilings and the walls had dull, chipped paint with some cobwebs. In front of us, above a dark hallway, was a clock, old and dusty. On either side of the hall was a staircase which lead to another hallway, I assumed. To our right was a curtained door.

Riku whistled.

"This place is old," he commented.

"Hello!" I yelled. Someone would hear, if anyone even lived here at all.

A loud clap of thunder startled me and I jumped. Riku chuckled at me.

"Scared?"

"No!" I snapped back, "Just startled." I looked at Kairi. She shuddered suddenly.

"You okay Kairi?" She moved in closer to me.

"I just have a bad feeling about this place."

"You're not the only one," I was having the exact same feeling, and I doubt the king and Riku felt differently. I looked at the King.

"What do you suggest we do?"

"Maybe we should go through the hallway. Someone will most likely be there."

"You think that's a good idea?" Riku asked, concerned for everyone's safety. I was too. No one was around besides us and the place was creepy.

"We can't do much else. We won't get anything done if we just stand here."

"He's right," kairi agreed.

"Alright," I turned to the hallway. "AHHHHHHHHHH!" I jumped back in shock. It was an elderly man with bright blue eyes and short white hair. His pale skin seemed to cling tightly to his bones. He had very prominent cheekbones and a small chin. There was something about him that felt strange and not normal. He came up behind me without making a sound. I looked at my friend's faces. They all seemed dumbfounded as I was. Then I heard kairi behind me say, "Good evening sir."

RIKU POV:

"And who might you be?" He asked sharply. This guy came out of nowhere behind Sora, and felt a creepy aura around him. I even felt that he might be as old as the house itself. But I let it slide and tried to give a good impression.

"I'm kairi," She glanced at Sora and me. I was surprised that she would even introduce herself to a guy who has a chilling aura about him. However, I don't expect that she doesn't feel that dark aura that I feel. She's the one closest to the guy and probably feels it more than I do. She's got some good intincts.

"I'm Riku and this is Sora."

"And I'm Mickey," King Mickey tried to sound gleeful.

"My name is Ramsey, the butler." The creepy man introduced, "Now for what reason must you all be here at a rather inconvenient time?" There was a moment's silence. This man must really be busy with something to say something like that. That's what got me suspicious of what he might be doing. Kairi finally spoke.

"Oh, well, sorry for the inconvenience, but um…." Kairi hesitated. I could tell this man was troubling her. "We got lost outside…"

"And it started to rain," Sora continued for her.

"The gate opened afterwards. We just assumed that we were welcome to come inside." I finished for them, "We don't know where we are and we need a place to stay. Could we stay here?"

"I see," replied Ramsey in a rather morose tone, although I don't know why it would sound like that, "Even so, it is rather inconvenient for you to be here so I must ask you to leave."

"Aren't you supposed to be the butler? Where's the master of this house?" I couldn't see why he shouldn't let us stay so we can meet the gypsy. I never would've spoken like that but we have a mission here. I can't let this slide. Sora and Kairi shot me worried glances.

"Well…" Ramsey started but was interrupted by a gentler voice.

"Now who's this?" It was a voice from a younger looking man with short black hair and was wearing an odd outfit.

"Master, these juveniles wish to stay here for the night from having lost their way."

"Well, I don't see a problem for them to stay for just one night."

"Master, don't you find it rather inconvenient?"

"What's the inconvenience? Let them stay Ramsey, just for one night."

"Very well," Ramsey finally gave in.

"Thank you Mister…" Kairi started.

"Gracey," the man said, "Have you already eaten?"

"Yessir, we did," Sora said quickly before Kairi or I could. That was good. We shouldn't waste our time here when other worlds could be receiving attacks from Heartless.

"Well then," continued Gracey, "Ramsey, why don't you show them to their rooms." Ramsey nodded and gestured the us to follow him.

Well, that's it for chapter 6. I'll try to post more chapters sooner. I'm gonna try to add my action and try my hand at some romance... I'm not going to say between who however...you'll have to read on to find out.

Don't forget to R&R! ^_^
