Chapter 7: Magic Training

"Thank you guys for saving us. I know I was a mean to you for taking me away, but you were right, this way I can fight." Jasmine said standing in front of the transporter waiting to beam down to Disney Castle. Aladdin was standing next to her holding her hand.

"It's fine Jasmine, I would have wanted to stay if it was my world to." Sora assured her. "Soon you'll be at the castle and you can train to better to protect your world in the future."

Jasmine and Aladdin nodded with a grim smile on their faced. They stepped onto the transporter and gave the thumbs up to go. Riku, not fully trusting Sol to do it, activated the beam that sent the two down to the front gates of Disney Castle. Once the light was gone they all gathered together to decide where to go next.

"Where to next Sora?" Kairi asked with a grin on her face.

Sora rubbed his chin in mock thought. "How about we go to Beast's Castle, I'm sure Belle would like to meet you all and you guys will get to see all this talking furniture. I also need to seal the keyhole there."

Will that do anything though? I had sealed the keyhole in Agrabah but there was another one.

Stop your moping about. So you couldn't save Agrabah at least you save some of your friends.

That's true Roxas but the world still fell.

That just means you have to find the Keyhole at Beast's Castle and seal it. At the very least it gives them one less path to the worlds hearts.

You're right, even if I can only hinder them, I got to do it.

That's more like it.

"Uh what's he doing? He'd just standing there with this odd look on his face," Luna questioned.

"He's talking to Roxas" Kairi informed "I can do the same thing with Naminé.

"You guys really are a special case aren't you," Sol observed.

"I'm taking that as a compliment," Kairi said with a glare towards the browned haired warrior.

Sora shook his head to regain his senses. "So now that we know where to go let's get going!"

"Right"

Riku and Sol headed to the bridge to input the destination and figure out the fastest course. Sora went over to the cupboards and pulled out a deck of playing cards. As he sat down at the table he noticed the Luna and Kairi were gone. With a shrug he shuffled the cards and got ready to play solitaire.

Kairi and Luna had gone down to Luna's room. As Kairi walked into the room the first thing that caught her eye was the fact the room wasn't white like the rest of the ship. Instead the walls were painted to look like a forest. Even the ceiling was painted green and blue to look like the canopy. Luna's blanket had flowers all over it and she had flowers all over her room. It came together to give the feeling that Kairi was standing in a field of flowers in the middle of the forest.

Luna sat down in the middle of her room and motioned for Kairi to do the same. Kairi sat across from her friend and as her hand touched the ground it felt like she was touching grass. She ran her fingers over what she knew was a hard surface, but she still got that grass feeling. When she looked at Luna the other woman had a smile on her facing knowing exactly what was going through Kairi's mind at the moment.

"It's a simple spell to fool the senses that's all." Luna told her. "If you do good enough today I'll teach it to you. It can be quite fun to use. I once used it to fill the ship with the smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. It also makes it so you don't need to buy perfume. And before you point out that touch and smell are different senses. The same spell works on all sense it just matters what you're focusing on when you cast it."

Kairi just nodded as her stomach gave a slight rumble at the thought of delicious chocolate. Luna giggled at the sound causing Kairi to turn a light shade of pink.

"So now that you've actually cast a spell during battle what did you notice?" Luna asked taking a serious tone, like that of a teacher.

"It was much more draining then it was casting back on Destiny Islands. It was as if something was blocking my power. Clearing my mind to call the magic up wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be though."

"Good that shows that you have a natural affinity for magic. Only those who are magically gifted find it easy to call magic in the heat of battle. I still have troubles finding my magic while fighting for my life. Which is why you should really be having Sol or Sora teach you this."

"No, I want to learn from you. I don't think Sora would be the best teacher and I want to surprise him with how much I learned. I don't want to learn from Sol because I get along with you better than him."

"I know you told me that last time, guess I'm stuck with ya then." Luna said with a smile to show she didn't mind. "Now the feeling of something blocking your power is the enemy's natural resistance to magic. Most Heartless you'll face have only a small magical resistance so your magic won't be hindered too much. Now in the case of facing one like the Crimson Jazz that we saw in Agrabah you'll want to hit it with the opposing magic. So what kind of spell would you cast against a Crimson Jazz?"

Kairi thought back to the fight at Agrabah. The floating red Heartless seemed to have been creating balls of fire and hurling them around. If they used fire then the smart thing to do would be to put them out with water. "I'd use some sort of water spell against them, the seemed to be fire oriented."

"You're right in the fact that they are fire Heartless, but you'd use ice magic not water. It's confusing I know. Ice and Fire magic are opposite of each other same with Thunder and Water magic. So if you're facing an opponent that is fire attributed you cast ice magic on it, but if its ice attributed you cast fire magic on it. Just think of it this way, your magic is canceling out your opponent."

"You weren't joking, that is a little confusing. I got it though and I'll make sure to do that next time we fight. But I've seen Wind magic also, so what's the opposite of that?"

"Earth magic, though there are very few people who actually cast earth magic. The other elements are Light and Dark. But you've known about those two for quite a while I'm guessing." Kairi nodded her head at the statement. "So you know Thunder what element do you want to learn next?"

"Do you know any Earth spells?" Kairi asked. If there were few earth mages then Kairi would make sure to learn the magic.

"Yeah the only one spell, Quake. I haven't really bothered to learn more than the basics in each category."

"So how do you cast Quake?"

"Oh boy, well first things first, gather your mana like you would for any spell. Then you pour the energy into the earth and let it just sink in. After the ground has absorbed your mana, you, well you shake it. But don't do it here!" Luna shouted breaking Kairi's concentration. "Don't want to cause the whole ship to experience its own personal quake now do you?"

Kairi looked down, blushing slightly. She had forgotten that she was on a ship in the middle of space. The room she was in really fooled her into thinking she was in a forest. "Sorry" she murmured.

"It's ok, just think before you cast. So what other element would you like to learn cause I know a spell in each of the others that you can actually cast in this room."

Kairi gave it some thought and picked Ice since they had just come from a desert world and she envied everyone being able to make their own ice to cool off with. Luna chuckled at her reasoning but agreed to teacher her that spell even.

All Kairi had to do was dive into her mana pool and gather up the energy to create the block of frozen water. She was instructed to NOT think of it as simply freezing water. Instead she was supposed to visualize a cube of ice in front of her. Try as she might Kairi couldn't even create so much as a snowflake to appear. Luna then gave her the advice to embrace every thought of cold weather and to poor those thoughts into her magic. This caused her to produce said snowflake at least. She lived on a tropical island that never fell below 70. Snow was a foreign concept to her.

Luna's solution to Kairi never feeling snow was to, of course, make it snow in her small room. After they were buried up to their waist in the fluffy white powered and after the novelty of being in snow for the first time in her memory wore off. Kairi once again attempted to produce ice. She did this time, it was a block so small in size that it could rest on top of her pinky finger. Kairi didn't care though. She had created ice! Fire Heartless everywhere beware, Kairi was coming.

"Well since you've created ice, how about I teach you the spell to mess with senses, and we go mess with the boys?"

Kairi's eyes lit up and a devilish smile crept onto her face. "That sounds fun."

"Ok this spell is all about projecting your thoughts into the physical world. Gather you mana and concentrate on the sense you want to fool. This time I want you to try fooling my nose. So when you gather you energy concentrate on a certain smell, preferably one you know very well. Then push the energy out into a fine mist and let it carry the scent."

Kairi gave a quick "ok" and started to pool her mana inside herself. Since Luna already gave her instructions on what sense to focus on all she had to do was come up with the scent. What smell did she know well enough that she felt she could have her magic mimic it? It hit her, the sea breeze. She spent most of her time down at the beach smelling the salty air. Grabbing onto the scent from her memory she mixed the memory of the scent into the pooled up mana. She released it into the air around her. Her nose immediately noticed the different smell.

It was nothing like a sea breeze, in face it smelled more like…

"Fried chicken, that's the smell you chose to go for?" Luna asked in disbelief.

"It was supposed to be the smell of a sea breeze." Kairi muttered.

"That's alright, it least you didn't make it stink in her with something like burning poop."

"I wouldn't even know what that smells like to be able to make it."

"Yeah well magic doesn't always care, trust me. A pile of flaming shit is apparently the smell I made the first time I tried this spell and I didn't know what smelled like before that. So try again, this time really concentrate on the smell you want to achieve."

Kairi went back through the process another five times before she had finally made the room smell like a tropical sea breeze. Her second attempt had been made the room smell like a hamster's cage. It was followed by cherries, then by burnt anchovies (Luna told her that one), the fourth attempt resulted in something close to a sea breeze she made a mountain breeze smell. On the fifth try she once again made fried chicken. Kairi though that maybe her mind was trying to tell her she wanted food since four of the six attempts were food related.

"You did it." Luna said as she waved her hand in the air causing the smell to vanish and be replaced with the scent of flowers once more. "Now do it again."

Kairi happily obliged and got it right three times in a row. Luna then had Kairi try other scents, one she knew by heart and others that took a bit of thinking. After about an hour of going through different smells Luna dubbed her Master of Scents. Kairi giggled at her new title and then the two girls started to plan on how to mess with the guys.

Sol was lying on the couch with a book in his hand as he waited for the autopilot to take them to the next world. Riku was on the floor next to him. It looked to Sol that Riku was meditating. Sol assumed it was something the warrior did to keep the darkness in his heart at bay. While Sol and Riku were sitting quietly minding their own business Sora was very vocally playing cards. Whenever he got the card he needed he shout out in joy, and if he didn't get the card he needed he'd let out a small moan in disgust.

It was driving Sol crazy. How Riku could meditate with all the noise coming from the brunette he'd never know. Sol was stuck on the same page for the last twenty minutes and if Sora didn't shut up soon he'd find his ass frozen to the chair. Sol continued to attempt to read his book. It was called The Black Prism by Brent Weeks and Sol really wanted to be able to finish it. He got about halfway down the page when the smell of gingerbread wafted through the cabin. Ignoring the smell he kept reading. Sora however got up from his seat to find the source of the smell. Riku, much like Sol, ignored the smell and get meditating. That was until they heard giggling. Looking up from his book Sol was greeted with a wonderful sight. Standing in front of him wearing a VERY revealing maid outfit was Luna. In her mouth was a gingerbread man. It was a very inviting scene, so inviting that Sol wanted to sit up and eat the cookie that was sticking out of her mouth. Over Luna's shoulder Sol could see Kairi dressed similarly and seducing Sora. Riku seemed to be the only one unaffected by the scents and sounds.

When he blocks off the world, he really blocks it off doesn't he? Sol thought looking at the silver-haired boy on the floor.

Sol sat up ready to take the cookie when Luna sat on his lap, giving him an excellent view of her chest. Blood rushed to Sol's face turning him red, red enough to make a tomato look pink. As Luna leaned down to offer him the cookie, she vanished. Not only did Luna vanish, so too did the smell of the gingerbread. Then it hit Sol, Luna must have taught Kairi how to mess with a person's senses. What he just witnessed was nothing more than an illusion created by the two girls. With a growl Sol got up from the couch to go and find the girls. He passed a very confused Sora who looked down right disappointed that his girlfriend was not in fact in a maid outfit giving him cookies. Sol wasn't disappointed, he was annoyed, they interrupted his reading. When he reached the hall the lead to the rooms he could hear laughter coming from Luna's room.

So they think they can hide out in her room? Luna has clearly forgotten who she is messing with. I'm the mage between the two of us. She wants to fight dirty, then I'll fight dirtier.

Sol stood outside the door to Luna's room. It was locked but that wouldn't stop this spellcaster. With a few ancient words the door *whooshed* open. In the center of the room sat Kairi and Luna in their normal clothes.

"Hello ladies, having fun down here are we?" Sol observed with a menacing smile. The girls just shook their heads unable to speak through their laughter. "You think it's funny to create illusions and send them after me and Sora? Cause they completely ignored Riku, who ignored them just as much. But I think if you're willing to send illusions of you two dressed like that, it's only fair that I get to see what you two really look like in those outfits."

The color drained from the girls faces at the threat. Sol put the palms of his hands together as if he was praying. He pulled his hands apart slowly and an orb of blue energy appeared between them.

"Now Sol, let's not do anything rash." Luna said as she backed away. "It was just a simple training exercise for Kairi that's all."

"You interrupted my reading." Was the only response Sol gave as he sent the ball of energy at the two girls. It split into two and enveloped both girls. When the light vanished they were both wearing the maid outfits that their illusions were. The girls' faces turned red when they saw that he had indeed changed their clothing complete with feather duster. With a smirk on his face he walked into the room and grabbed Kairi by the arm and led her out the room up to the cabin.

"Here you go Sora, Kairi in a maids outfit minus the cookie" Sol proclaimed as he pushed Kairi into Sora's arms. He then turned and headed back towards Luna's room.

Kairi's entire head was red as a tomato as she looked up at Sora. While she was embarrassed at her situation she couldn't help but feel slightly happy as Sora stared at her just about drooling. He clearly enjoyed what he was looking at.

Flaunt it then Kairi! Turn him into a Sora puddle. Naminé encouraged. Besides it just might give you the chance to escape if he becomes too stunned.

Seeing the truth in her Nobody's second statementKairi leapt back out of Sora's arms and struck a pose. She popped one leg up behind her and held the feather duster up to her chin and pouted. The effect on Sora was instant, he fainted. Kairi saw her opportunity and fled to her room. When she got into her room the first thing she did was head to the closet to find another outfit. After selecting a black halter top and a dark blue skirt she laid on her bed.

That was fun, maybe you should save that outfit for later. Naminé suggested to her Somebody.

I'm not wearing that thing EVER again Naminé. If you want to be helpful, help me plot how to get revenge against that bastard Sol!

But Kairi you caused Sora to faint with your looks. You can't tell me you didn't enjoy that.

Fine that was a fun thing to do, but it was a onetime thing.

Ok but if I ever get my own body you have to let me try that Roxas.

"We've arrived at Beast's Castle" Riku announced over the intercom.
