Kairi ran through the hallways of the Castle That Never Was, trying to find a way to the top as quick as she could. She admitted, she should have known at least a little bit around the castle, since this was her third time in it, but she didn't.

Kairi decided to come to a stop in a room that was familiar to her, the very place where she, Sora and Riku reunited all those years ago. Placing her hand on the wall, Kairi began to take deep breaths, trying to calm herself down before proceeding. However, before she could do so, she could have sworn she heard something coming up from behind her, but before Kairi even had time to react, she was blinded.

Kairi didn't know who did it, but she felt the cape that hung off of her armor come up and cover her face, preventing her from seeing. Whoever it was had a tight grip on the cape, making sure that Kairi could not get it off and was slowly strangling her. Kairi tried to swing her keyblade at the person, but the person also managed to grab onto her wrist that she used to fight, preventing her from getting a good swing.

In a last ditch effort to get this person off of her, Kairi drew her leg back, only to bring it forward and kick the person hard. The person let out a cry of pain as Kairi drew back, trying to get the cape out of her sight but before she even had time to do so, the person tackled her again, sending her flying into a wall and keeping her pinned against it.

Even though Kairi knew she was not in a good situation, the force managed to blow her cape out of her sight and allow her to see who it was pinning her to the wall. But as soon as Kairi laid eyes on the lingering will, she wanted to scream: it was Arlene.

Before the princess even had time to speak, the will grabbed a hold of Kairi's neck, cutting off most of her air. "What are you doing here, you little bitch?!" Arlene then took her hand and struck Kairi in the face, hitting the red head so hard that her whole cheek was red.

Kairi tried to bring as much air into her lungs as possible before she said, "Here to take— you and Xehanort down—What else?"

Arlene laughed. "So that is what you are planning to do, huh?" The lingering will glanced down at Kairi's keyblade, "Well how are you going to do that without a weapon?"

Arlene then let go of Kairi briefly, taking the princess's keyblade and throwing it across the room. Before Kairi even had a chance to summon it back, Arlene took out one of her knives and impaled it into Kairi's arm, right below the elbow joint through the armor, and pinned the knife into the wall, preventing the princess from moving. This did not only prevent the princess from summoning her keyblade, but it also was so painful that she let out a scream.

"Xehanort might have said that you belong to him but since I was one of his replicas that means you belong to me too!" Arlene then brought out another knife, slashing it across Kairi's cheek so that blood immediately began to drip down her face. "If you thought you were afraid before, you haven't seen fear yet!"

Kairi only laughed, which she knew was not a bright move, but she figured that if Arlene was going to end her life, she was not going to show fear. "Fear?" She laughed again, "I was never afraid of you."

These words only made Arlene pin Kairi's chest to the wall, hitting her hard in the stomach as she did so. "What did you just say to me?" Arlene asked in an evil tone, "Say it again, I dare you."

Kairi looked right into where Arlene's eyes would be when she said, "I. Was. Never. Afraid. Of. You."

Kairi could feel the tension swarming through Arlene's 'body' as the will placed her hand on Kairi's neck again, cutting off her air. "You really are a bitch," Arlene said, "I was going to kill you fast, but now that you said that, I am going to make sure you die a slow painful death!"

Arlene then took the knife that was in Kairi's arm and ripped the armor that protected her chest off. The will then took the knife and slashed the princess right across her stomach slowly, making sure that it cut deeply into her skin. Kairi only let out a gasp as this, looking down briefly to see the blood pouring out from the wound. The princess knew that she wouldn't die from the wound, since it wasn't that critical and was only used as another method of torture, if she used cure on it as soon as possible, but since her keyblade was out of her reach, she couldn't do so. Kairi tried to summon her keyblade, but she couldn't, too weak to do it.

Arlene then came in close to Kairi's face. "Any last words?" She asked. Kairi couldn't speak however, since her air was cut off so badly that she began to turn blue. But Kairi did manage to respond by spiting right in Arlene's face, a mix of blood and spit getting all over the lingering will's coat.

Arlene only seemed to grow more enraged at this as she took her hand with the knife and prepared to deal the finishing blow to Kairi, rising her hand high in the air to do so. But before Arlene could even lower her arm, something pulled her off of Kairi, the will being thrown so far that she nearly fell over the side of the railing. Kairi only fell to the ground, gasping for air when she was thrown off of her, using cure rapidly on herself as she tried to heal her wound.

It was when Kairi looked over at Arlene, trembling on the ground with fear that she saw Sora's lingering will, towering over the will with his keyblade grasped firmly in his hand.

"You, you're the one that tortured her?" Sora's will asked, this being the first time Kairi has heard him speak since the battle with Riku.

Arlene only looked up in fear at the will. "No, no! It— it wasn't me, I swear!" She yelled, but Sora only walked closer to her as she attempted to back away from him.

"I heard you, you said you hurt her and I saw you hurt her!" Sora's will continued. He then brought up his keyblade, ready to attack Arlene who only cried out a single name,

"Lumaria, Lumaira!"

Kairi looked away as Sora brought his keyblade down on Arlene, her cries to Lumaria no longer being heard. When Kairi looked back up, Arlene's coat was all that was left of her, but then Sora pointed his keyblade at the remains and blasted them with fire, the last reminder of Arlene turning to ashes.

(Kairi III – Kingdom Hearts) As soon as he had done that, Sora ran over to Kairi and used cure on her, which was almost useless since Kairi had used cure on herself so many times that she knew she was going to be alright. Sora then took his cape and wrapped it around Kairi, his hand holding onto the cape and Kairi's shoulders as he bent down to her level.

As soon as she felt Sora's arm on her, she began to sob, a river flowing from her eyes as she placed her hand over her wound. The wound was a scratch now, but she did not cry because of the wound, but because she was scared. Sure, she told Arlene that she was not scared of her, but deep down, she really was. Kairi figured that all of those emotions she kept down in the pit of herself was now coming out.

At the sight of Kairi crying, the will then took the princess's head and placed it against his shoulder, letting her cry everything out right on his armor plate. He took his free hand and began to brush his hands through Kairi's hair, while his other hand kept his cape around her shoulders. These were the moments Sora wished he could never see Kairi in, since she was so happy all the time, it was weird to see her break down like this. But he wanted to be with her especially when she was like this, so he could see her smiling face again.

After several more moments, Kairi finally raised her head from Sora's shoulder, taking her hand and wiping away the remaining tears. She looked away from Sora however, to ashamed to look at him. "I'm sorry," she apologized, "I just cried like a baby right now."

Sora only shook his head however and took his hands to cup Kairi's face in his, wiping away the last drops of tears and blood from her newly healed wound. He then took his hand and brought it down to Kairi's stomach, making sure that the wound was almost healed before looking back up at her.

Kairi only smiled as she looked at where Sora's eyes would be. Taking in a deep breath, she then brought her head closer to his before she was silently kissing the helmet of the will. She didn't act phased or different though, she kissed him passionately as if she was kissing his real lips.

When the two finally parted, Kairi looked right at Sora. "I guess that is the closest thing I'll be getting to a kiss until we get your body back, huh?" She asked, but Sora did not respond. Kairi only grinned, knowing that he only spoke in times when he was truly angry, but it didn't matter.

Once he checked her wound again, Sora helped Kairi stand, now that the wound was not even visible anymore and the only thing that showed it was once there was the cut in her clothes. As soon as she was standing, Kairi realized something. "Wait, how did you know I was going to be here?" She asked.

Sora only looked away however and bent down to pick up Kairi's chest armor piece before handing it to her. Once she had it back in place, she looked at him again. "Did you follow me here?"

Sora looked away again. Even though the only thing supporting his face right now was his helmet, Kairi knew that if Sora did have his body, he would be blushing. "You stalker," she joked, "I should have known you were going to follow me."

Sora looked at her again before gesturing his arm for them to proceed, which the two gladly did hand in hand.


DING, DONG, THE WITCH IS DEAD!

Lol, sorry, I mean, I honestly really like Larxene, used to hate her, but I grew to love her evil nature. But after she did all that stuff to Kairi... I am sure many of you are happy she died.

Second chapter uploaded today (happy dance) I mean, I just had to get this chapter out to you guys cause it is one of my favorites that I have written so far. It was really all the Sora x Kairi fluff that made me love it so much :)

OMG GUYS, GUYS, GUYS, GUYS, GUYS! I didn't know this before (which I am REALLY REALLY REALLY shocked about and will slap myself across the face later) But apparently, when Tom Hiddleston signed on to play Loki in Thor, he also signed on to play Loki in 5 movies, 5 FIRETRUCKING MOVIES! That means there will be at least two more movies filled with Loki! YYYAAAYYYY!
