Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts.
Author's Note: I just hope you know that all the characters except for my own characters are wearing their Kingdom Hearts (1) outfits. In parts 3 and 4 they'll be wearing their KH2 outfits. For Roxas, picture him in whatever clothes you want. For Namine, she looks like her KH COM self.
Part 2, Chapter 3: River Pack
Kairi woke up with Roxas and Namine nearby, and Boulder sleeping next to them. Very quietly, she snuck up to Boulder. She reached out a hand to pet him, when suddenly he leapt up and spun around, growling. Kairi fell to her knees in shock.
"I-I'm sorry!" Kairi said. The wolf shook his head and walked over to Kairi.
Instinctively, she covered her head with her arms. Surprisingly, the wolf came up and nudged her arms with his head.
Kairi moved her arms and saw Boulder sitting in front of her. She reached out a hand and started petting him. He was really sweet!
Suddenly, he turned around and ran off. Kairi stood up and followed him, just as Snowy and Night raced past her. The three wolves dashed down the hill and into a valley where twelve wolves stood. Kairi gasped. They could never fight that many wolves!
"Wait, come...back?" Kairi said as the wolves started tearing their way through the pack. Whimpering sounds came from the other pack.
Suddenly, the pack leader of the opposite pack turned around and spotted her. The black-furred wolf raced up the hill and Kairi screamed. She closed her eyes and waited for pain, but nothing came. She opened her eyes again to see a whirl of gray and black fur.
Kairi saw them break apart. The gray wolf had the black one pinned down. It was Boulder! Boulder snarled in the other wolf's face, and the black wolf whimpered. With a howl, the black wolf told all the other wolves to retreat. Boulder let the wolf up and he turned tail and fled. Boulder turned to Kairi.
"You saved my life..." Kairi said. Boulder ran back down and joined Snowy and Night for a chase. The chase to make the opposite pack run out of their territory.
"What'd we miss?" Kairi jumped and turned around. Sora, Roxas, and Namine stood there, all grinning.
"Well, you missed the Drizel pack chase an entire pack out of their territory." Kairi said.
"A pack of twelve? That's the River pack. They attack here all the time." Sora said.
"I think the pack leader has grown to like me. He saved my life from the pack leader of the River pack." Kairi said.
"Well, that does sound a lot like him to go around saving lives." Roxas said.
"Come on, let's go back to camp." Sora said, leading them all there.
Kairi walked over to the spot on the ground she had slept on the night before. She sat down and fell into another deep sleep.
