Chapter 28: Promises to keep-Part 3
The sound of metal clashing against one another rang throughout the wood, Kairi blocked an incoming attack from Riku. Riku then pushed her back with his might and she skeeted across the ground. Riku quickly closed the distance between and was prepared to strike, Kairi quickly deflected his attack with her keyblade.
The young redhead twirled her body to the left and did a diagonal slash, Riku however grabbed her keyblade and opened his left palm, ready to cast a spell. Kairi soon let her keyblade disappear as she jumped in the air and called forth her Destiny Embrace and did a quick upper slash, the silver haired keyblade master barely had any time to above and he took the attack head on.
The two childhood friends soon stared at each other for a moment. The two of them continue. Riku made the first move but Kairi began blocking each one of his keyblade attack as she jump in the air called her her thundara spell, but instead of hitting Riku she aimed for the dirt creating a dust cloud she rush inside and didn't a powerful sweep blowing away the dirt from the air.
She was then caught by surprise to see Riku nowhere in sight.
Whistle*
She turned around as the edge of the Brave Heart keyblade was close to her neck. Kairi gasped as Riku had a victorious smirk on his face.
His keyblade disappeared from his hand as Kairi fell to the ground. "Nice move." Riku said as he offered her a hand up.
"I thought you were aiming for me but you were really striking at the ground on purpose to try and obscure my field of vision."
"I thought it would work." Said Kairi.
"Almost did." Replied Riku. "You really have improved a lot Kairi." He had helped her up.
Nearly three weeks have passed since they began their training. Since then, Kairi requested that Riku not hold anything back. She didn't want to take it easy. Riku was reluctant, but she pleaded that she wanted to get stronger as fast as possible. He took a deep sigh and accepted her request. It wasn't long to see why he was doubted a keyblade master.
"Alright. I think we're ready." Riku said.
"You think so?" Kairi asked.
"Definitely. You've improved quite a bit, so I think we're well prepared." The silver hair keyblade wielder said to his childhood friends.
He was right, she had some growth in her abilities with a keyblade. So he thinks that now would be the best time to set out.
"Okay. So what should we do next?" The red haired girl asked.
Riku thought that it would be best to rest for the remainder of the day. And set out tomorrow.
"I can still keep going." Kairi said not wanting to take a break.
Riku replied to her that they've been going for nearly a month. Riku explained that they should not overdo it. The princess of heart wanted to say something back but chose not to say anything, she nodded and agreed.
The young red headed female decided to go on a walk. She exited the woods and was still on the stump she and Axel used the last time they were here.
Kairi gazed at the sun that was setting, Kairi's expression turned melancholy, She thought to herself as she recalled all the times Sora came to her rescue. She was always grateful to him and admired him for his kindness and yearned for him as well.
And now it was time for her to repay him for all he's done; not just her, everyone else too.
"What's this, your secret spot?" Riku said, walking towards his female friend sitting next to her.
"Not really. It's where Axel and I would just sit and talk." Kairi explained.
"Gotcha." Said Riku. "You know, Kairi, you were really tearing up during training, I've never seen you this determined."
"I still have a long way to go before I'm ever going to be at yours and Sora's level." Kairi replied.
As she remembered their training, she could see just how strong Riku was, his skills with his Braveheart keyblade were impressive, and now she wondered how Sora would be if she ever faced him.
"I'm sure you'll get there soon. So, have you thought about what you want to do when we bring Sora home?" Riku asked, remembering their previous talk at master Yen Sid's tower.
"I have. After we find Sora and look for a way back home, I plan to tell him how much he really means to me. And this time, I don't plan on any interpretation."
"That's good. After everything you two have been through, I think that is a much deserved idea. We could all use a break, you two especially."
He said as Kairi and Riku looked at the sun 'Just wait a little longer Sora…We're coming.'
(Tristain)
In the castle Henrietta had Agnès do an investigation on which one of the generals put Louise into the rearguard. Agnès then had confirmation. So she called forth the nobleman
"I'm so glad to have made your acquaintance, General Parks."
"Indeed." The noble said to the purple haired queen. "To what do I own an audience with her highness?"
He asked, unaware of his own actions. "You should know what this is about, General. I'm talking about how you; without my permission tried to send Louise de la Vallière into the rearguard." She said with a small bit of anger.
"I was doing it for the kingdom in mind. We didn't have the resources nor the funds to combat the extensive armies that Albion had." Parks stated his reason "If not for her sacrifice, then this kingdom would have fallen, her power was essential to ensure us victory."
Henrietta glared, that was not what this was. She was angry about how they tried to treat her best friend as a tool, because she possessed the power of the void. But it wasn't her that made the sacrifice, but someone else.
"...Louise did not face the armies." Henrietta said as Parks looked at her, shocked to hear this.
"What?" The general said.
"The one who actually stopped the armies from advancing was a commoner. He was also a talented swordsman and magic user as well." Henrietta said looking down "It was thanks to his selfless act, that is why we were able to survive."
"A commoner stopped two heavily strong armies?" He said curiously but dismissed the idea of some plebeian defeating an army of seventy thousand soldiers and thousands of monsters as well. But if it was true how did he do it, "How exactly did he pull such a feat off?"
"That is something that I will not share." Said Henrietta. "What I am saying is that your actions, not only put in danger a member of a family that we have a close relationship with, but also was responsible for the death of a commoner that also served that family."
"I don't see how this should affect you though?" Parks replied. "He was just a commoner, and commoners only purpose is to serve the nobility. So why should one death matter?"
That angered the queen even more "He isn't just so commoner!" She yelled. "You can not even see how important he was, he never discriminated between upper and lower classes, he treated everyone around him as if they were equals! Without commoner what would be; nothing! Even if they work under us, our responsibility is also to protect them, an idea that seems to be forgotten."
"And let me just say that this commoner was special, he has saved my life on a few occasions, and he also showed me how to listen to my own will." The queen said resting her hand on top of her breast. Thinking about how Sora saved her from the heartless and from Wales. Not to mention, when she was at her lowest, his words gave her the strength she needed to fight.
It was only because of Sora that she is still standing here today.
Agnès saw the expression that the queen was making, she had never seen her this angry before.
Though Agnès understood as she was thinking back to when she was prepared to kill Colbert it was Sora that stopped her from doing so. She respected him as a fellow sword wielder and a respected ally. And honestly at times, she would often see Sora as like a younger brother, with how they had similar backgrounds.
Agnès was also glaring at this general that was responsible for his death, but was also trying to keep calm.
Parks was actually getting scared, not just at the knight who was glaring at her but also for the queen's anger as well. "Y-Your highness, I was thinking about the kingdom with best interest! You have to understand!"
Henrietta slowly shook her head "Not at the cost of a life. General Oswald Augustus Parks, I find you guilty of conspiracy and willful endangerment. As of today, you are stripped of your title."
Parks began shaking "WHAT!?"
"Agnès, see to it that this man is removed from my chambers." Henrietta ordered.
"At once your majesty." Agnès grabbed Parks by the arm and started to drag him out of the castle.
His screams echoed throughout the halls as he tried to resist. Henrietta sat down on her throne and took a deep breath, exhaling all her emotions that she had. While she was able to meet justice for Louise, she still had a strong sense of guilt on her shoulders.
(Academy of magic.)
Sylphid was lying on the grass, her body curled as Tabitha began to approach her familiar. It was like she had no energy and she had not been eating as much as she used to. The blue dragon fell into depression after she was told that Sora was no longer among them.
Tabitha started to pet her familiar, trying to ease the pain she had.
Meanwhile, Siesta and Julio were practicing with wooden swords. As per their agreement, Julio promised her that he would teach her the art of sword play while in the evenings she would teach him the basics of magic.
"Come on! Don't just block, find your opening and strike!" He said as he was swinging the wooden sword.
Siesta ran forward with the wooden blade held up high as the priest evaded, and knocked the sword out of her hand, but not before striking down on her head.
"Owww!" She cried holding her head on the spot he hit.
"You have way too many openings. How is it that you and your family survived South Gotha when it was in a revolt?" The platinum blonde said as Siesta slowly stood up, still holding her head. "I think the problem is that you are a little more dependent on magic than you are your own sword skills."
"I told you. I only learned magic from Sora, I never held a blade in my life. Much less a wooden one."
The priest sighs and decides to take a break. As they were, the dark haired maid and the priest were greeted by Kirche, Guiche, and Montmorency.
They exchange a small greeting as Guice asks them how their training has been going. Siesta showed them the bump on her head saying that it was going. Julio responds that his training was also a little difficult, but he is also learning a lot.
Everyone found it sorta funny; A maid learning how to use a sword while a priest is learning how to harness magic. It was like the world had turned upside down.
That made them wonder what Sora would say if he learned that Julio is becoming a magic user. He would probably be shocked.
While they were thinking about the keyblade wielder, Siesta asked them if it was weird for her to believe that Sora was still alive somewhere.
They each wore a somber expression, saying that maybe it's not wrong for her to think that but…
Julio responded as he said that she shouldn't hope for something they already know. Agnès and her Musketeers searched Albion but the results were cut dry…not even a body was found to bury.
He knows how she feels, everyone present does. But none more than Louise.
Louise has been locked in her room for nearly the last three weeks
She took the death of Sora pretty hard, but the good thing is that she has been eating her three square meals so that something, but she hasn't been showing up to her classes or anything, her sister's were still here and Cattleya ask the principal to let Louise take some time to grieve.
Elèanor wasn't accepting it as she was supposed to focus on her studies and not over her familiar, but after what happened last time, she started to be a bit more lenient and asked the principal alongside her sister.
(Destiny Islands)
After Kairi and Riku finished preparation they decided to return home to the Destiny Islands. The red haired girl decided to return home and Riku traveled to the playIslands.
"Hey." He looked over his shoulder and was greeted by Naminé.
"Hey." Riku returned the greeting "Care to sit?"
"Thanks." Naminé looked back up into the sun. "So you are going?"
"Yeah, I got to go." Riku said "Like I said Sora saved my life more than once, he saved all of us. So it's time we repay our debt."
Riku turned his gaze from her and looked upwards also. Thinking about the times Sora reached out his hand to him, but it wasn't just him he thought how almost everyone was trapped by their own darkness in some way or another. And it was Sora who pulled them out and showed them the light once again.
Naminé understood how important this is to him; to everyone, after all she was also saved by Sora before "I got it, I just wasn't expecting it to be so soon." She said.
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound so selfish. I'm just worried about you and Kairi going off alone.
Riku reassured her "Don't worry about it, we'll be back with Sora before you know it."
The blonde haired girl shook her head. "That's not what I meant. We don't even know if the two of you can return once you step foot. We've searched so many worlds and tried calling Sora so many times, but we didn't get any calls back from him."
She said as Riku had a theory about that, all the world have special highways to each invisible to one another but still connected. It could be possible that the bridge to the world Sora is on might be broken… or this one world may have a different set of rules to travel.
"I'm just worried that something might happen to you, or I might never see you again." Naminé said, feeling a bit scared for Riku and Axel.
"You don't have to worry about me. I know you might be scared of what could happen to us, but there will always be risk. And unless you take those risks, then how can you learn or grow? Or find the strength you need to overcome the obstacles in front of you. Without facing challenges, you'll never get to experience anything."
"I…"
"Naminé, I promise you there's no need to worry about me. I'll be back before you know it." He stared at her being as serious as he can be, placing his hand onto her shoulder.
Slowly her fears and worry began to fade away as her face began to warm up, her heart started beating madly in her chest
She began to remember the worlds she and Riku have visited.
Flashback
(Halloween town)
Riku wore a werewolf style of clothes to blend into the darker environment, but as he turned to Naminé he was taken away as she wore an embroidery white and blue witch outfit with a pointed hat. They both compliment each other, but they did it in a shy and flustered tone of voice.
(Arendelle)
They met with Anna, Elsa and Kristoff, and Olaf at her ice palace, where they all got caught in the middle of a snowball fight Naminé grew attracted to and chose to join in After that, Riku also joined in. After a while Naminé started to grow cold. Her outfit wasn't exactly made for winter.
Riku took off his jacket and gave it to her. She put it on and smiled. It was nice and warm. Riku blushed, seeing her wearing his jacket.
(The Caribbean)
At the Caribbean, Riku and Naminé met up with Jack Sparrow, who seemed to have gotten himself in trouble. While Naminé found him to be an interesting person, Riku, however, found him…Strange. They searched for Sora on the high seas, and the blonde haired girl was awe-struck being out on the water like this. She smiled brightly and enjoyed the view.
Riku stood next to her, his eyes focused on her, and she was really enjoying herself seeing new things for the first time. That made him happy, but the way she smiled and the way her eyes shined. He found it really interesting to see her so engrossed, but at the same time, it also made him happy.
Flashback ends.
For the time that they spent together they were really enjoying each other's company. But now she had to let him go his mind and his heart decided and no words would persuade him otherwise.
"If you decide to go, then I'm not going to stop you. Just promise me one thing."
"What's that?" Riku asked.
"Well. You and Kairi come back with Sora, let's go on a trip together, just you and me." Naminé requested. Riku replied with a smile saying yes he would like a trip with her
"Sure thing."
His reply made the blonde haired girl smile "You know it's weird, I got to see a lot of things in the time we spent together, and seeing them with you…I can't really explain why, but when I'm with you it makes my heart flutter and it's like I have butterflies in my stomach but it's not a bad feeling. Can you tell me what's making me feel this way."
Naminé asked with her face turned bright red. As did Riku's who stumbled on his own words.
"Uh…well…That's…" He could understand what Naminé was saying because right now he felt like he had butterflies too. Unknowing to them, she saw slowly sliding her hand next to his he caught wind of this, and he did the same.
After coming together for a few more inches their fingers touched, as their hands were now interlocking with each other. They were now eye to eye with each neither saying a word.
They looked back at the sun, Naminé leaned onto Riku, resting her head on his arm.
(Tristain)
People were going about their business as usual. People were shopping in the stores and on street corners.
A merchant was passing through the street with his wagon being towed by the horses. He soon came across a big storehouse and stopped near the entrance. He got off the wagon and a boy jumped off his wagon.
"Thanks again for the ride." The boy said.
"Oh no, it's the least I could do. If it weren't for you those bandits would have robbed me blind."
A while ago, this merchant was attacked by some people who were ex-mercenaries. And out of nowhere this kid showed up and had them all beat, pretty soon he had them running scared.
Next he asked the kid to be his personal bodyguard until he made it to Tristain. The boy said sure and since he was already going to Tristain he figured why not. So one got a ride and the other had protection and since they were heading to the same place everything seemed to work out.
"So got anywhere to go?"
The boy replied "My friend's dad owns a place here in town. I'm going to say hi to them first before I leave."
"Well alright then." The boy was about to leave.
"Hey kiddo! Hold on!" The boy turned around. The man gave him a bag of gold coins. "Here, for your troubles."
"No you don't have to pay me." The boy said.
The merchant shook his head. "No I do. You helped me and saved my products to boot. This is the least I can do." He said as the boy put the pouch in his pocket.
"So where is this friend's store?"
"A tavern actually. It's called the charming fairy inn."
"The charming fairy inn. Might have to check it out some time."
The boy waved goodbye as he and the merchant parted ways. "Oh wait, one more thing." He said as a girl also came out of the wagon
She seems to be about eleven years old with shoulder length hazel-nut colored hair and matching eyes. She was wearing a blue long sleeve shirt and long black pants.
"I hate to ask, but you think you can drop Katherine off at home?" The merchant asked the boy.
"Come on uncle, I can make it home just fine." Katherine retorted
"That's not what I mean. We were ambushed and they planned to sell you off. I don't want to take any chances."
The hazel-nut haired girl bitterly remembers that, while she wouldn't admit it she was still scared of what happened after that. Not to mention how they were about to kill her uncle right in front of her. The young man looked at Katherine before he turned his gaze towards him and said he didn't mind.
Richard was grateful for everything he's done, as he watched him and his niece going to his brothers home he stayed behind and to unload his cargo.
"Hey, Richard!" A worked called out to his fellow worker who was named Richard
"Who was that guy?" Another worker said.
Richard explained to his colleagues that he saved him and his niece's life. On the way here, the route he normally takes was blocked off and he had to find another way around. While he did out of nowhere the two of them were ambushed by bandits they would have taken Katherine and killed him on the spot if it wasn't for that boy.
They were shocked to hear that he had almost been robbed and killed and that boy saved him.
"Yeah you're telling me." He said, remembering it all,
Flashback-One day prior.
Richard began coughing. "Please, just take my goods, leave my niece out of this!" He gestured to the young girl that was being held down.
Oh don't worry about the merchandise. We'll get a pretty penny after we sell off all this and the kid, we'll sell her to some slave merchants. I bet she'll be quite the beauty when she grows up."
That made the man snap as he got up one more time and struck the bandit as two more guys came up behind him and held him down on his knees.
The one who got his spit out the blood. "Oh, you…, big mistake!" He reached out for his knife and held it to his throat. The girl screamed for help only to have her mouth covered by the one bandit that was holding her in place.
However, he was prepared to cut his windpipe open. "...Fire!" A fireball was sent flying to one of the bandits. With that sudden attack, everyone turned around in all directions, looking where that ball of flame came from.
When all of a sudden a golden chain wrapped around the leader of the band of criminals.
"Boss!" He was pulled up into the air as someone jumped and gave him a strong kick sending him back to the ground. One of his subordinates helped pick him up.
It seemed to be a young boy, likely about sixteen. He has short brown hair with cerulean colored eyes, and a crown shaped necklace around his neck. His clothes were a mess like he went to war.
They all looked at the weapon in his hand and it looked like a ridiculously oversized key.
"Who are you? One of the thugs asked.
"Didn't your mother ever teach you it's not nice to bully." The boy taunted.
The man and his niece watched from the sidelines. They were in awe at how skilled this individual was. As the bandits were all rolling on the grass. They slowly picked themselves up from the dirt and ran away.
The man and his niece looked at their savor as he slowly approached them. "Are you two already?" The boy asked.
Richard stuttered. "Y-Yeah." He replied.
"That was amazing, you were like ha! And Hiya!" Katherine said as she was mimicking his movements. That was when he noticed a scrape on her knee
"Your knee, what happened?" The boy asked. She explained that she skinned it when those people came out of nowhere and jumped them. The brown haired boy held his hand over her head and a green energy covered her whole body. A few seconds later the scratch was gone.
She blush at the warm smile this person gave her, and thought to herself 'He's an angel…'
The man was surprised "Y-Your a mage!?"
"Nope. But I am closer to an adventurer." The boy corrected.
After a while. He helped load Richard's cargo back on the wagon, but the problem was that he was still missing his horses. That wagon was fine but the only problem was that the horses he had got scared off and ran after they were jumped.
Actually the boy had seen horses earlier.
Richard asked the boy if he really did see them and how far were they. But the kid put his index and thumb in his mouth and whistled loudly.
And on cue the horses came running towards the sound. Soon, they placed the reins back on the two horses.
"Alright, that should be the last of it." The boy said having placed the last box of goods on the wagon.
"Thanks again for the help."
"It's no problem at all, I'm just glad you both are safe." He nodded and began to walk away.
"W-Wait! Where are you going?" Katherine asked the boy.
"I'm on my way to see my friends in Tristain."
"Tristain? What a coincidence, that's where my cargo is going. Hop on, we'll give you a lift."
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Please, I want to pay you back for helping us!" Richard offered the boy a ride.
"Oh no, you don't have to do that." Richard shook his head and said that he had to thank him for saving him and his niece. The boy decided to take them up on their offer. Plus he also asked him to be a guard for him if he didn't mine.
The boy was okay with it.
The horses began walking along the path with Richard pulling the reins with Katherine sitting next to him, while the boy was sitting next to his cargo. Meanwhile the hazelnut haired girl gave a few short second glances at the boy before turning away. But for the fourth or fifth time he and her eyes met and she looked away from him, feeling shy and embarrassed.
"So how long will it take to get to Tristain?"
"Hm, about a day on the road, so you from Tristan?" Richard asked
"Nah, but I have some friends that live there though. I'm actually just coming from Albion."
Katherine and Richard were surprised, "Albion?" The eleven year old said.
"Yeah, I was there during the war between them and Tristain." Now that really got their attention.
"From what I know Albion suffered big time by someone who took down all seventy thousand and over a couple hordes of monsters that belong to Albion. I find it frightening that one man could deliver a damaging blow like that. Guess he had nothing to lose."
"...No, I wouldn't say that." The boy said. "I think it's more like he didn't want to lose anyone." He replied as he gave a strange look but he shrugged it off.
"Whatever kid."
"So what's your name?" Katherine asked the boy. That's right all these questions and they never got to ask his name.
"Oh yeah, we never did ask." Richard also asked curious about his identity.
"Oh my name…You can call me—"
Flashback end
"That sounds tough."
"I thank Brimir that you both are safe."
"I know. So anyway after that mess we gave him a lift here. Kat was staring at him all the way, I think she's got a crush."
"Hoo-boy."
"Alright enough chatter. Can you guys help me get this stuff unloaded." The two men nodded and they all began to take off the cargo.
Meanwhile Katherine led her hero to her home. It was a long distance but they made it safely.
"Here's my house." Katherine said. "Thank you for everything. I don't know what could have happened to us if you didn't show." She politely bowed in front of him.
"It wasn't any trouble, I'm just glad I made it in time." The boy said as he turned away
"Well, I got to go, take care-."
"Wait!" Katherine stopped him but fumbled her words. She slowly took a deep breath and ask him this.
"I-I was wondering, how can I be like you." The boy asked what she meant.
"I wanted to help my uncle but they took me hostage first. I watched them beat up my uncle and was about to murder him. How can I be strong like you, so I can protect people I care about?"
She looked down at her feet as the boy gave her a head pat. He then took a knee. And said that she shouldn't worry about what happened, and truth is he isn't all that strong on his own, no one really is. But when you have someone you want to protect, you can grow in real strength.
He pointed to her chest, she then held her hand to her chest as he pointed to her heart, he told her to keep the connections she makes, that alone is where real strength comes from.
He stood up and gave her a head pat as he departed.
Katherine watched as he disappeared among the crowd. She opened and shut the door behind her with a small blush on her face and was giggling like crazy. Katherine's parents looked at their daughter and wondered what was wrong with her.
(Fairy inn)
Jessica was working in the tavern along with the rest of the girls. "Okay, that one steak is seared with garlic and one pasta with bread." She gave the people their order.
"Thanks sweetie." One of the guys. Jessica soon heard her name being called as she was about when one of the men grabbed her by the wrist.
"Hey hold on a sec." He said
"There's something missing on our order. And that something is you."
Jessica rolled her eyes back. "...You're done, I've got to get back to work."
"Hey come on, just keep us company." The other person said. This was annoying her as a small spark of lightning shocked the person who was holding her wrist as she rubbed it out of soreness. The two men jumped out of their seats and shouted at Jessica.
"Hey, bitch!"
"The hell is wrong with you!"
Jessica narrowed her eyes. A few seconds later they were blasted out the door by a strong gust of wind. They got up from their backs and ranway.
"Jessica!" She turned around and saw her father with a disappointed expression.
"Sorry, papa." She apologized.
Scarron let out a sigh, he then turned to one of his little fairies "Nora mon cher, can you watch the store for a moment " The girl in the light blue uniform nodded.
As the father began talking to his daughter saying that he knows it has been a rough time. After all, she shouldn't take her feelings out on the customer. The black haired girl looked exasperated before having a shameful look on her face.
This was the third time this happened, her using magic on a custom. He knows that it's been rough this past month but she shouldn't take her feelings out on innocent people.
She apologized, lowering her head. Her father understood why she was acting like this. It had been hard for her after hearing about Sora's death.
As they walked down the stairs, a worker talked with Jessica for a second. She asked what was wrong, but all she did was point at a table. Jessica gasped as she saw a red and black jacket that looked very familiar to her. But the hair was different. Maybe she was seeing things, or maybe it was him. Either way, she had to make sure
"...S-So-...Sora… is that you!?" She stammered and waited for a response.
The boy who she called Sora turned around and looked at her "Hi Jessica. Long time no see." He waved
She couldn't believe her eyes and broke into a hug with tears running down her face. "Sora…it's you, you're alive!" She released him from her embrace. She let go of him.
"Yeah I'm alive, did you think I'm that easy to knock off." Sora replied.
"Well what do you think!? We honestly thought you were dead, and now here you are showing up like nothing happened! You jerk, why the hell did you make us-Gah!" She was crying, tears of relief but was still angry.
"Yeah." Sora said back. As he began rubbing the back of his head "Listen I know I got some explaining but I promise I'll tell you all what happened."
"You better. But that can wait." She leaned into one more hug crying tears of relief. But she wasn't the only one, the girls were also shedding tears as well as Scarron.
Later on night fell and the tavern was now closed. Sora started to explain what had happened to him this past month, he explained everything that after the war.
"So you were in a coma and you were still in Albion."
"Yeah, I wouldn't be here if it were for my rescuer. And if not for her and everyone else finding me when they did. I don't know what would have happened to me."
"Tres bien~. That's quite a story."
"I'll say. But if you were okay, why didn't you come back right away?" Jessica and Scarron said.
"I would have come back sooner, but there were some heartless still in the area. I couldn't leave without making sure there weren't any more of them." Sora explained
Jessica understood. "Alright. Hm, you really like to make people worry about you alot?"
"I'm really sorry I did that, and for making you guys think I was… well-"
"Say no more." Scarron pressed his index finger to his lips "You did what you have to do, nothing more." Scarron said that he can stay here for the night, since he had a long journey back here. Sora accepted his hospitality but not before telling him he'll be out first thing in the morning.
He understood on account of him wanting to go see his friends soon. But before Sora left he asked the store owner something, Scarron gave a questionable look as Sora showed him and Jessica his left hand.
He told them that the moment that he woke up it was just gone, so he asked if they had an idea on what happened.
While neither of them had that knowledge of a master servant contract, they do know that the contract between the two is a lifelong one but it has been known to break, but only if the master or the familiar were to die.
Sora was speechless, that was why his runes were gone, but he is alive.
Jessica though that was weird to but what wasn't weird when Sora was involved clearly he had to have died as some point during South Gotha,
Scarron asked what he still remember.
Sora replied, saying not much he remembered getting skewered by icicles, and mages were preparing to end it all with a strong fire attack and then lights out, then he comes too in the woods ten days later.
Both father and daughter didn't know what to say about that one. They just told him to get some sleep and maybe ask Louise or someone else who knows about this.
(Attic)
Sora took off his jacket and shoes. "Not long guys. I'll see you soon." He blew out the candle and jumped in bed as he pulled covers over him as he started to fall asleep. But before he could he looked at his left hand where the runes were.
He wondered since they were gone, and he didn't qualify as a familiar anymore. What does that mean for him and Louise. A smirk showed on his face as he wasn't bothered by it, this contact they had might have been just one thing that connects them but when you get down to it, it was also their hearts that bound them as well.
He'll see Louise and everyone else again and he will apologize, of course though he will more than likely get an earful of this…And hopefully she also does not decide to blow him up with an explosion.
(Mysterious Tower)
The guardians of light all came to see Riku and Kairi off on their journey. Isa handed them a small brown sack, in the bag containing three potions, one high potion and one elixir. Riku took the potions and placed them into his jacket.
"Alright you two. Have a safe journey." Mickey said to his fellow keyblade wielder.
Riku looked towards the king. "Don't worry Mickey, I promise that we'll be fine." Riku reassured.
"Take care of yourself out there."
"And give Sora a good smack." Donald and Goofy said to Riku.
"Good luck out there." Terra said to his successor. As Ventus also wished them a safe trip.
"Try not to do anything crazy. Course if you do, you can count on me to come and save you." Lea bragged.
"Shouldn't you worry about your own skills first. Otherwise, you'll be the one needing a rescue." Isa rudely said as Lea deadpanned and mumbled to the side.
"Riku…" Roxas approached Riku. "Listen. I know we had our differences in the past. But I trust you more than ever. So please, bring my brother home."
Riku held out his hand "You got it. I promise we'll bring Sora back." Roxas and Riku shook hands, putting the past behind them and looking towards the future.
"Good luck, Kairi." Xion said. "Be safe out there."
"I will, Xion." Kairi said back.
"And don't forget, once this is over. Kairi, I want you to continue your training."
"Yes Ma'am."
As they were preparing to leave, Riku looked around not seeing Naminé. He then looked forward as he and the blonde haired girl began to walk towards one another. Neither one said anything to the other.
Riku was the first to say something "You don't have to worry. I'll be back before you know it." He said.
"I know." She replied. "Just don't forget."
"I won't." The two of them smiled at each other as Naminé got closer and began hugging Riku while her face was buried in his chest. He returned the favor wrapping his arms around her. A gentle air surrounded them. Everyone else could see the atmosphere around their friends.
"Is it just me or are they…" Olette said. Thinking differently from the vibe they were giving off.
"They're just saying goodbye. Don't go getting any ideas." Hayner said.
"I-I know." The brown haired girl replied.
They parted as Riku and Kairi were standing side by side. Riku summoned his Braveheart keyblade and with a determined look, opened a keyhole like the ones from the sleeping worlds.
He and Kairi glared upward at the key hold. "You ready?" He said as the red-haired keyblade wielder nodded, holding Riku's hand. Light began to envelope their bodies and shot up skyward into the keyhole. Everything was then consumed in a blinding light. As the light began to dim, the guardian looked to see the keyhole was gone. And Riku and Kairi, along with it.
And all they can do is wait.
(Next morning)
Morning passed. Scarron and Jessica entered the shop as Jessica went upstairs to go walk Sora up. Upon arrival, she found him still sleeping. That was when she had an idea she carefully crawled into bed with him.
Meanwhile, Sora's eyes started to move as they soon began to open. *Yawn* He Yawned "Oh man, how long has it been since I've been in bed?" He looked at his covers moving as Jessica peeked from them.
"Morning~." She greeted him.
"Whoa, Jessica!?" Sora was surprised. What was she doing underneath the cover?
"How did you sleep?" She asked.
"Okay." She pulled herself off and sat on his waist.
"That good, I'm happy you slept so peacefully, plus you look really cute too." She flick her fingers at his nose as she got off of him.
"Get up, I'll make you something to eat." She told him as she exited the room leaving
"Why did she-?" Sora was just confused. He didn't know what she was doing that for but oh well, he stopped thinking about it and went downstairs to eat.
"Thanks for letting me stay for the night and thanks for breakfast too." Sora said with himself and Jessica and Scarron all standing in front of the tavern.
"No, no~ think nothing of it." Said Scarron
"Papa's right, you had a long journey getting back here, it's the least we could do for the hero who saved Tristain." Jessica said. Sora started to look bashful.
"Come on, this hero is too much." Sora replied.
"But it's true, you save this country." Scarron said.
But Sora responded saying that he wasn't able to let anyone get hurt as he thought about it just now, he asked how everyone was doing.
Jessica told him that Sie-Sie took some time off work and has been staying in Tarbes for a while, but other than that, she hasn't heard anything else from everyone. Sora dropped his head thinking about how he made so many of his friends worry about him, and they were probably mad too.
"I'm going to own up to so many apologies, I really do feel like a jerk." Sora said.
Jessica shook her head. "It's not like you could help it. You were out of it for a long time."
"Jessica is right, you know. All you can do is go see everyone and show them you're okay. Once that is done, come by the fairy inn, and we can all have a proper celebration." Scarron gave Sora a pat on the back.
Sora liked the idea of that, a party with everyone together. "Sure!"
"Alright I better get moving." Sora nodded to the father and daughter as he was prepared to leave.
Jessica smiled at him as he was walking to the Academy of magic. "Oh Sora!" She called out to him as he ran back.
"Yeah?" He said. Jessica slowly walked up to him and pressed her lips against his and pulled away quickly.
Sora was left frozen in place as he was processing what happened and the moment he did, he found himself blushing from ear to ear "Jessica…" He squealed.
"Just wanted to say I'm glad that you're back." She said "Tell Sie-Sie I said hello."
Sora snapped back to reality and stuttered he would do that. As Sora left he was holding mouth. He began to think about why she was in his bed this morning too. Maybe it had to do with Siesta or Kirche, but maybe he was starting to be a little more aware of a girls feelings…So if Siesta and Kirche likes him, and really likes him does that also mean that Jessica…
As Sora made his way to the academy Jessica's father commented on his daughter taking initiative "Ah~ to be young again, I can't believe you did that."
Jessica continued to stare at the road where Sora left. "After what happened, I don't want to take any chances. I'm full throttle towards my feelings. Besides, he isn't Louise's familiar anymore so it's fair game. "
Scarron came forward and gently patted his daughter's back "You don't hesitate, but what can you do when you fall in love. Alright then, let's get ready to open shop."
"You got it papa!" She said as she briefly turned to the shop and then the path Sora walked on. She smiled, happy to see him alive and well and who knows, maybe later on she might be even more direct with her approach then ever.
Meanwhile in another part of the city. In an alley, Riku and Kairi were lying face down on the ground. Riku was the first to wake up slowly, getting on his hands and his feet. He looked over his shoulder.
Kairi was still sleeping. "Kairi, Wake up." He said lightly shaking her, that seemed to be enough, she started to groan and slowly started to regain consciousness.
"Riku…" She said with a groggy voice as she picked herself off the ground. She and the silverett were standing on their two feet.
Riku led Kairi out the alley and onto the streets, "This must be the world Sora's in." Kairi said, watching the people pass by.
"Let's look around." Riku said. Kairi nodded as their search for their missing friend was underway.
(Academy of magic)
Louise was curled up in her bed, holding onto the kingdom key like a child clinging to its you. This weapon was all that that was that was left of her familiar... no, this was all that was left of Sora.
All she could think about was how much this it hurt. She was trying to protect not only her home but also Sora... the boy who helped her believe, who never criticized her skills. And the one person that she developed feelings for... was gone. She soon heard the sound of knocking.
The door to Louise's room was still shut, but her sisters stood face forward and had to see the state of their baby sister. Elèanor reached out to knock but halted. She thought about the last encounter they had, where Louise slapped her sister due to her choice of words.
Who could say she even wants to talk after that. They had to try though, to get through to Louise.
But Cattleya asked her if she could do this. The eldest Vallière decided to led the middle sister do this.
Knock, Knock, Knock*
"Louise, are you awake?" Cattleya waited for a response from Louise but no sound was heard.
Cattleya tried again "Louise? Are you there? Can we talk?"
"She isn't replying back." Elèanor pointed out.
"She heard us, she just doesn't want to come out." The middle child said.
Once more she knocked "Louise, I know you can hear us. Me and Elèanor are here because we're worried about you, and we want to talk. You don't have to come out…just creak your door open so we can see you. Please…"
She and her sister awaited for a response as they heard the door creek and Louise poked her eye from behind the door. "Hello…" Louise replied in a soft tone of voice. Her eyes were red and puffy with bagges underneath her eyes.
Cattleya was relieved to see her. "Good to see you again."
"Y-Yeah." Louise replied. "So what is it you want to talk about?"
"I'll get to that in a minute, but Elèanor has something she liked to say first." Louise shifted her gaze to her eldest sister.
"If this is about me being a failure of a mage I've heard it plenty of times, not just that but I'm also a failure of a master for letting Sora die…" She slowly started to close the door but was stopped by Elèanor.
"Wait!" She said "This isn't about that."
"Then what…What do you want?" Louise said in a rude sounding voice as Elèanor looked towards Cattleya who gave her sister a kind smile.
Elèanor looked at Louise as she stared at her big sister with a look of rejection. She gave a long sigh "I…I'm sorry."
Louise was surprised this was the first time she's ever heard the words 'I'm Sorry' from Elèanor before.
"What?" She opened her door completely as they say she was in her long sleeve sleepwear.
"I'm sorry." Elèanor said again "I said some disrespectful thing to you that day. I should have chosen my words better."
Louise was speechless, she doesn't remember the last time Elèanor ever apologized.
"Okay." Louise replied.
"Is it alright if we come in and talk?" Cattleya spoke.
Louise trailed off to the said before letting her sister come into her room. Elèanor was the first to enter as Cattleya followed, the youngest sister closed the door before she fell to her bed and wrapped the covers on her head.
Cattleya sigh, she was hurt to see her sister like this. As she saw her cradling the key like sword in her arms.
Cattleya opened the curtain to let some light in; she then pulled the covers off of Louise. The middle sister then began to embrace her sister.
"About what you said earlier, you're not a failure, not at all." Cattleya said.
"You're wrong though, I am a failure. I wanted to protect you all, but instead it was always my trying to prove myself is what got Sora killed."
"Louise…
"I was so stupid…I wanted us to walk together…To have more of what Sora and I had but I blew it…?" She gripped her clothes.
"You really did love that boy, didn't you?" Elèanor said. "Can I ask why? What was so special about that boy that you would take an interest in him?"
Louise looked at her sister with tired eyes "He…He was from another world." Louise said as Elèanor was confused.
"What?"
"It's true he is." Cattleya confirmed.
"A-Another world…?" She tried to sound as believable as possible but she wasn't sure if it was true.
"It's okay if you don't believe it, when Sora told us we didn't believe him either." Louise replied.
"But you know, he learned about how bad I was at magic. And you know what he said to me. He didn't care if I couldn't use magic. He treated me the same as he treated everyone else. He made me happy, he protected me. He made me so comfortable…and I…I soon started to see him differently." Louise turned to Elèanor.
"You ask me why I loved Sora. It was because he really was special to me. He treated me like a normal person despite all my flaws. I wanted us to be more than master…but I couldn't go about it the way I wanted. We were so different. I never tried to understand. He was a guiding light for others, and I was in his shadow."
"I have been getting better using my magic, but No matter what I do…Nothing in my life ever changes!"
Louise's tears began to form. As Cattleya started to hold on to Louise.
"Louise a lot has changed in your life. You have become so much better than before. You are stronger, not just in magic but in your own heart as well." Cattleya said.
"Sora did what he did because he was trying to protect you. Nothing more."
Tears rolled down her face 'I don't understand why, why did you have to die. You've done so much for us and this can't be your reward in all of this. You saved my life, my sisters, everybody's too. I know that you don't belong to this world…but that should mean I have to live a life without you in it… If wishes do come true…then I would wish…to see you and tell you how I feel…'
Louise began to break down crying with her sister's counsel, Elèanor began to understand why she started to fall in love the way she did. But she knows no words could make this pain go away.
Just as she was looking for a way to help her sister, something caught the corner of her eye. He eyes widen in disbelief.
Delf saw it to [What the-!?]
"Cattleya…Louise." She got the attention of her two younger sisters. The eldest Vallière pointed over to her dresser.
Louise walked to her dresser, and the flower that wilted was suddenly back to life. But that was impossible…unless.The void mage put the keyblade against the wall.
Louise's door slammed wide open as she ran out of the tower still in her pajamas. Elèanor and Cattleya called out to her as they looked at the magic flower, a red light shining bright. The sisters decided to follow Louise but not before Delflinger asked them to take him with them.
(Play-sanctuary ending version)
Louise rushed out passing Kirche and the other's was they were surprised that Louise suddenly came out of her room. What was the deal with that, she didn't leave for nearly a whole month and she's out and about now.
She made her way out of the building and continued to run.
Siesta was hanging sheets to dry when she saw Louise running past her in a hurry. She wondered where she was going?
Memories of Sora came flooding Louise's ind when she first met him, to the times they argued, the moments that he saved her, the kisses that they shared, and finally at the church when she was finally able to work up the courage to tell Sora how she truly felt about him.
She reached the main gate and didn't stop, she tripped and fell on the ground. She wished she'd at least put on some shoes. She heard the sound of footsteps and slowly picked herself up. Her head lifted off the ground. Her eyes became owlish, shaking in disbelief and a hand reached out to her the sun blocked the face of a boy, as the sun's glare disappeared.
(Pause- Sanctuary- ending version)
She saw him smiling at her. And he said to her, was this "...Told ya I'd be back." He said.
(Resume playing-sanctuary ending version)
Louise immediately jumped into his chest causing them both to fall, that hair, those eyes and the warm smile he had. She knew that all too well. She began crying in his chest.
"...Sora…It is you!" Louise cried. She lifted her head.
"Yeah, who else would I be?" He said.
"This isn't a dream right!?"
Sora gently patted her head "No it's not."
"We thought you were dead!?" Louise said, having the tears rain on him. "So how?"
Sora got up off the ground and pulled Louise into her feet. "It's a long story."
"But I promise, I'm okay and I'm not going anywhere again." He promised.
Joy filled the air around Louise, but she didn't stop there without warning. After a moment Louise immediately began hugging him.
"I swear, you're an idiot. The biggest idiot I've ever known!" She pulled away from him, yelling at him "I can't believe you would fight all of Albion's soldiers, how reckless can you be!" Said Louise
"Now wait a minute, you're the one who tried to do that first!"
"Only because I was trying to keep everyone safe!"
"Doesn't mean you try to cut me out of it!"Louise huffed. "You idiot!"
Sora huffed "How am I an idiot for wanting to keep you and everyone else safe!"
"You don't understand!"
"Then tell me! Why did you want me to leave you alone! If this was about your pride of being a noble-"
Louise shook her head looking sad at him "You don't understand anything, it wasn't about pride, it was about you and everyone else. I made so many memories with you and everyone else so I wanted to keep the ones I love safe. My sister's, my friends, the queen…and you."
"What…?"
Louise looked at Sora "I was trying to keep you safe and push you because I love you so much, you are my familiar…and at times I also see you as a man. So I didn't want you to die with me since you have other people waiting for you. I was thinking of your needs rather than my own. But I didn't think you were this reckless."
Louise shook her head looking sad at him "You don't understand anything, it wasn't about pride, it was about you and everyone else. I made so many memories with you and everyone else so I wanted to keep the ones I love safe. My sister's, my friends, the queen…and you."
"What…?"
She pulled away from him. "It's alright. You're here…But if ever and I mean ever do something like that again, I'll kill you myself." She threatened.
But Sora wasn't intimidated by her as he laughed "Fine, fine. I can't promise that I won't be as reckless as before."
"Then I shouldn't expect anything less then." She replied back as they soon began to hug it out. But that left Sora stunned to hear that Louise actually loves him. He started to think about his recent behavior to her as well; his times when he was bothered by Julio flirting with her, the kiss from the lake and his dreams.
He already knows his feelings for Kairi, but…does this mean he has feelings for Louise as well. And what about Kirche and Siesta, and Jessica too.
Everyone else looked over and saw Sora and Louise having a moment.
"Sora!" The keyblade wielder raised his head and saw his friends running towards him.
Guiche, Kirche and Montmorency stop in front of him.
"Sora!"
"Bless Brimir, I can't believe it!"
The two blondes were welcoming Sora openly. He rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed, just as Kirche began smothering the brown haired teen. "Darling, you okay!" He lifted his head from her bosom, saying that he was fine.
Kirche relinquished her hold on him, as Tabitha walked towards the rest of them as with Siesta following her.
"Sora it's really you. I never doubt you were still alive!" Siesta said, wiping the tears off her face.
Tabitha approached him as well and she gave him a smile "Tough." Sora nodded as he was then tackled by Sylphid, who was nuzzling and licking Sora.
"Hey girl! I missed you too!" Sora said as he was laughing with the dragon showering him with affected.
In the background Cattleya, Elèanor, and Julio watched. Julio and Cattleya were delighted to see that Sora had returned safe and sound. Delf was also relieved to see his partner.
Elèanor however couldn't believe it, one boy, just one boy, by himself managed to defeat seventy thousand soldiers, maybe more, and he came out of it alive!?
Sylphid began to stop as Sora got up onto his feet as he looked at everyone feeling shame for putting them through this.
"Um, I'm sorry I worried you all." He apologized
Guiche stepped forward "Your right, you should be sorry, we honestly thought you were dead." Guiche scolded. But his expression didn't match his words "But… you came back, just promise you won't don't something like that again."
Sora gave his goofy grin "Promise." Guiche had a relaxing smile as his girlfriend stood next to him.
"Still you have to tell us what happened, where have you been this whole time? And what happens to your hair?" Montmorency bombarded questions.
"It's a very long story." Sora replied
"I bet it is. Can't wait to hear it." Kirche replied As she, Louise, Guiche, Montmorency, Tabitha, Siesta, Sylphid, even Julio, Cattleya and Elèanor joined in
"Sora…" Louise said, holding out her hand. "Welcome home!"
He looked at everyone and gave them a warm smile as he took her hand "Yeah… Good to be back!"
(Night)
After Sora returned back he explained what happened to everyone. At least what he remembered from the battle which was not much.
They already know what happened from Delf since the sword was the one that told them how he died in the first place. But they weren't sure how to take the fact that Sora somehow came back, but Louise asked what happened.
He told them that he was still in Albion in the Westwood forest, in a little village where he was recuperating and guess what when he explained his rescuer, he told them that it was the same person that saved Guiche from dying.
The earth mage eyes widened as he asked if he also saw the fairy of the forest. Sora nodded say that he did see her.
Guiche turned to Julio, saying that he was right, there really was a fairy.
But Sora whispered under his breath, she was more elf than fairy. But he didn't say anything more than that. He explained that the fairy actually was a girl who was also taking care of young orphans.
Guiche was shocked and disappointed, he really hoped she was a fairy.
Getting back to the story, he was told that she and the other children found him and brought him to their home, she was the only one that took care of him while he was in his coma and awakened a week later.
But Kirche asked him since he was still alive, why didn't he just come back right.
Sora answered her questions. Aside from some bad guys trying to kidnap Claire and Ella, he also had to take care of some heartless that were in their village, so he stayed behind to make sure that there weren't any more stragglers left.
Louise was also furious, calling him out for being so reckless.
Elèanor said that familiar and their masters sometimes share similar traits so if he's reckless then she is also reckless.
Louise paused with a blush on her face telling her sister that she is not that reckless. Leading Elèanor to say that she is as she begun to list her deeds; Charging off to war, taking the rearguard position, and lets not forget then the mercenaries attack this institution.
Everyone agreed that she had done some pretty reckless thing even after Sora came into her life and became her familiar.
Sora also agreed but was told by Louise to be quite, and not to say anything else as she was the master.
…But that was when Sora lifted up his left hand. Louise gasped as did everyone else in the room when they saw that his runes were gone.
Before stopping here he paid a visit to the fairy inn to meet up with Jessica and Scarron he showed them the same thing and asked them what they knew about it.
Sora turned to the eldest of the Vallière sisters and asked her if the contract really brake if the familiar or master were dead.
And her response was yes. For a mage it is impossible to summon a second familiar until the familiar that was first summoned died. Also if something were to put the summoner's life in danger then their pact would also be jeopardized.
Delf confirmed that his partner did dissolve into a bright light, so he initially assumed he was dead. However it happened the contract was null after that.
Louise looked horrified, so that's it Sora was no longer her familiar.
Sora approached her and placed his hand on her left shoulder. And gave her words of encouragement, did it really matter to him this contact was just one thing that connected them but they also had another. Their hearts were also connected to each other; the bond that they shared is also important. So really there was no need for the contract.
Which made Louise think about it as well. Yes, that's right he isn't a familiar but a man…which means that their wouldn't be anything getting in the way.
Siesta also thought about it too as well as Kirche, Sora doesn't belong to Louise anymore so he basically is a free man. Which also means that they can make a move freely.
This was enough for Kirche to make a bold claim. About how desiring his essence. Louise, Siesta, Guiche, and Montmorency were all blushing hard, while Julio, Tabitha, Elèanor and Cattleya were also taken back.
Sora asked what she was talking about, as Guiche forgot his innocence, and was telling him that he shouldn't ask.
But that made him even more curious. Everyone looked at each other wondering who should tell him. Julio stepped forward and whispered in his ear at what the fire mage means by his 'essence.'
The priest explained as Sora's face turned completely red, steam coming off his face as he passed out.
Louise was arguing with Kirche like she had completely lost her mind.
As for Sora, Siesta was fanning the poor boy whose brain was fried.
Elèanor watched him and started to second guess him. Maybe he isn't as bad as she originally thought.
(Louise's room )
Later, Sora and Louise return to their room completely exhausted from today. But not before Louise handed Sora his kingdom key keyblade to him.Sora was greatly relieved. He looked all over the battlefield for it but couldn't find it or Delf anyway he was afraid that they were stolen.She explained that Agnès went to Albion on Henrietta's orders to find you. But this was the only thing that she found after. Sora held his keyblade back in his hands as it dissappear.
He looked at Louise one more time as he apologized once more for making her and everyone else feel the way they did.
But she shook her head and said that it didn't matter, he was fine and that was all that matters.
Soon, they both were fast asleep, sleeping in their respective beds.
Time passed as they were sound asleep, the door quietly opened, and someone tiptoed into Sora's bed, Sora could feel someone's presence as he opened his eyes.
"What?" He turned to his side to see Kirche, wearing nothing but her underwear.
"Hmhmm!?" Kirche quickly put her hand over his mouth keeping him quiet she put her finger towards her lips telling him to be quiet.
"Keep it down. We don't want Louise to wake up." Sora nodded as she took her hand off his mouth.
"What are you doing here?" Sora whispered.
"That should be obvious." She said with lust in her eyes. Sora shuddered, remembering this evening.
"No! Why me!?"
She said crawling into his bed and was sitting on top of him. "I already decided no other man is good enough for me, only you. You went above and beyond this time that only makes me desire you more than ever."
"Shouldn't we slow down, we've got plenty of time to think about this!?"
"True. But I'm not the type of girl to just wait around~." She slowly leaned forward for a kiss.
He only had a moment to blink before Kirche attacked, but with intense passion. Her tongue pried into his mouth, their flesh began dancing as Sora was slowly starting to submit to her, he slowly started to lose himself due to the sweet aroma she gave off.
Sora took a liking as he subconsciously wanted more. Kirche seceded, pulling away from his lips. A seductive smile was plastered on her face. Sora looked up and blushed, embarrassingly.
"That should be obvious." She said with lust in her eyes. Sora shuddered, remembering this evening.
"No! Why me!?"
Sora looked away "Will you just listen?!" He said
"Come on, I think you and I could make some cute babies."
What he was saying flew over her head. 'Why isn't she listening to anything!'
The door opened up again. As Siesta was standing with her mouth gap wide. "S-S-Siesta!" Sora was shocked to see. The dark-haired girl was watching him, and Kirche engaged in a nightly skirmish. He got up with his hands held high.
"I'm not doing anything! I swear!" He said as she unbuttoned the top of her clothes not saying a word to him. She walked over to him and quickly press her lips against his, Sora was surprised by this sudden action.
"Hey, I was here first!" Kirche said.
"Don't think I will lose!" Siesta retorted.
Kirche pick up his right hand and placed it onto her breast daring her to try and do this too. The dark haired girl didn't waver doing the same, grabbing Sora's left hand and placing it on her own breast.
Sora's mind went from zero to a hundred in a second his body was screaming over how he was groping them as he was thinking about how soft and firm they were, and began if Kairi's were as-
'Nope! Nope! Do not go there!' Sora retracted those thoughts from his mind. He took back his hands and told them to leave now!
He tried to get them out but forgot Kirche was still on top of him, this caused him, Siesta and Kirche all to fall on the ground with a loud noise.
This noise caused Louise to wake up "What's going on?" She said, wiping the sleep from her eyes.
She turned to the side and her mouth was open from the shock. She saw Kirche and Siesta sitting on top of Sora with both girls revealing their skin.
"Louise!?" Sora yelled.
Louise was blushing with her body shaking "Y-Y-You…YOU DOG!!'
Seconds later, a loud explosion woke everyone.
Elèanor and Cattleya woke up knowing that explosion had to have come from their sister. What did she do this time.
Teachers approached Louise's room as they saw Louise yelling at Sora as he, Kirche, and Siesta were sitting down. Both were not harmed because Sora quickly put up a barrier shielding them from the explosion.
Sora tiredly thought to himself 'Yep…It's good to be back…'
End.
