Sora giggled at that and looked at the two excited before nodding, "Yeah! It sounds like fun! I really want to go see the lights!"

....

Vanitas laughed at that, "Of course I'm quite perspective! Oh that's easy just toy with them a little. Tell Riku the truth and he'll look no matter what considering even the thought of losing Kairi would drive him mad not only that he'll probably blame Sora as well," he paused with a grin, "then Sora will come running back to you crying her little eyes out over what has happened and Kairi will no longer trust or even like Riku for taking Sora away from her," he laughed, "if anything Riku will cower to darkness again because he'll blame that kid and maybe in return you can get your revenage on him." added Vanitas with a shrug.

Kairi sighed as she saw the excitable rapunzel and Flynn lead the way how times had changed...

She looked down at sora

Rapunzel was raving “mother is going to be furious”


....

“I’ll go talk with the boy then we do have a history.” She waves her hand summoning a dark corridor which she walked through. She appeared in front of Riku with a serene smile “Well hello there Riku.” She said charmingly “long time no see”

She grinned maliciously “it seems your precious kairi is off doing my dirty work”

Sora looked at Rapunzel confused, "Why would she be furious?" she asked going over to her, "Is something wrong?" she asked curiously wondering what was up?

...

Van simply nodded, "Yeah sure," he said, "if things don't go according to plan I've got an idea or two myself." he added chuckling before going through his own dark corridor.

...

Riku glared at the witch, "What is it that you want?" he asked summoning his keyblade ready to attack only to look Malefiencet with a raised eyebrow, "She would never work with you," he said confidently, "why would she?" asked Riku cautiously knowing full well that there was no point for her to come to him unless there was some truth to her words but Kairi couldn't be helping her? It didn't make sense?

“She’s just kind of... possessive.” She said with a frown before shaking her head “I’m sure she means well” she said even tho the words didn’t seem very sure.....

Kairi frowned “I’m sure she’ll be nice when we meet her right sora?” She asked the little girl.

......

“Seems my dear child has roped the girl into searching for an artifact on my behalf.” She said with a smirk “it’s rather humorous is it not?” She asked the boy.

Sora took Rapunzel's hand in her own wanting to be supportive of the princess and glancing at Kairi, "Y-yeah!" stammered Sora hopefully as she looked back at Rapunzel, "Don't worry about her today! We're going to see the lights right! Let's focus on that!"

....

Riku glared at her, "It isn't at all and it's horrible what you are doing to that girl but I can't allow Kairi to be near her when I know you have your claws into that kid," he stated, "even if she thinks it's Sora because I know deep within my heart that she isn't him and never will be him because Sora would never get involved with someone like you." he added glaring at her angrily forgetting how naive Sora could be at times and how Sora always helped someone no matter what or who they were it was the reason why he was able to be saved in the first place from the darkness.

"Where are they?" he asked ready to bring Kairi back home and to Yen Sid's tower or even Merlin's house where he and her can talk by themselves or with others.

Kairi smiled as the four of them marched on any heartless they saw came up to play with sora and even rapunzel. Kairi would never understand the behavior but was glad things were running smoothly.

Flynn was uncomfortable around so many crazy people but was keeping his normal attitude.

......


“Why she’s in that work Oh which one was it?” She asked aloud as she tapped her chin. “The one with that girl the new light hmmm” she grinned ear to ear “I believe the girl’s called rapunzel they’re currently taking her to town.” She gave a shrug she knew the boy would find them with his rather perspective nature

The heartless were so cute and playful! Sora chased after a few here and there giggling as she picked flowers with Rapunzel as they passed by the vast forest. It was so pretty! Sora couldn't remember ever seeing such a beautiful forest before! A small flash of Twilight Town entered her head causing her to pause and clutch her head painfully for a moment as they neared the city.

Rapunzel's mother, Gothel, closely watching and lurking from the shadows.

....

Riku felt his blood boil in anger and had to do his best to not attack the witch before him right now at all but it was hard, "Look," he said, "I don't like what you are doing at all with that girl but Kairi is off limits," he stated, "you can have that kid for all I care as long as Kairi is safe and away from your so called daughter," he continued, "if your kid ever drags Kairi around like this again I'll destroy her." he added summoning his ship and taking off.

Riku knew that it was bad of him to want to destroy a little kid but he couldn't risk losing Kairi. He quickly updated everyone on what was happening sending messages out to the keyblade weilders.

.....

Ventus looked at his phone and frowned at the message he had recieved from Riku, "Kairi's in danger?" he mumbled to himself, "Little kid? Isn't that the one Naminai mentioned that's Sora? I mean I don't know if I believe her but stranger things have happened," he paused feeling unsure, "he wants us to meet him at Merlin's with everyone else to settle the issue with Kairi." he added continuing to frown feeling nervous.

He had lived in Sora's heart for so long and he would know easily if the girl was indeed Sora or not. Why hadn't Riku or Kairi checked with him at all? Maybe they hadn't even thought about that? Ventus sighed and got up from where he was sitting on the grass hill with Aqua and Terra.

Kairi senses the older woman near by. “You’re not very sneaky come on out”

Rapunzel covered her mouth in fear and shock “MOTHER” she said backing up a bit nervously she never wanted her mother to find out she left. She was petrified.

....


Aqua got up “Ven can you sense sora at all?” She asked as they summoned their gliders to take off.

Terra frowned “Aqua he was he’s gone” he said he knew it was impossible to survive what’d happened to sora there’s simply no chance.

.......

malifecent left with a cruel laugh seems the boy was cracking after the loss of his dear friend how very interesting.

Gothel was taking by surprise and with a sigh she came forth to the group of four but her eyes landed on Rapunzel, "Yes dear," she said to her daughter looking at the other three briefly knowing that she had to be careful right now, "I've been following you for a bit now and I can't help but say that I'm disappointed and if not slightly heartbroken you would run off like this," she said, "I was so scared when you weren't in the tower at all! I thought you had been kidnapped!" she paused dramatically, "I near enough had a heart attack but it's good to see that you are okay now Rapunzel." added Gothel going to Rapunzel and hugging her tightly.

Sora watched Gothel curiously. The woman reminded her of her own Mother but she could tell that Rapunzel seemed petrified but how and why? Was Gothel really that scary?

...

Ventus looked at Aqua and Terra thinking deeply, "Let me see if I can or not," he said giving Terra a look, "he should be gone giving what happened but..."

Ventus closed his eyes and breathed deeply only to clutch his heart in pain, "H-he's alive but he isn't," said Ventus, "something isn't right and it hurts it feels almost as if he's dying over and over again but something is keeping him bound," he paused catching his breath, "I think that could be Kairi," he continued, "I think Sora's alive and is fighting to continue living but he's only doing it for Kairi," stated Ventus, "I think he's hurting a lot from everything but getting better and healing but I think it'll take a lot of time before he's back to normal or even have a grasp on who he really is." added Ventus softly.

He looked at the two with worry, "This could be bad very bad because he'll be more easier to control and manipulate just like you were Terra." he added.

...

Riku finally arrived on Rapunzel's world and was beyond livid. He was going to be forced to break that kid and Kairi apart. Quickly he rushed through the woods only to stop behind a tree as he watched a woman, Gothel, give her speech to the group.

He would wait and see what happens before making his own move.

Kairi looked between the two curiously

. “Well we wanted to see the lights you know the ones that come out every year and I... I just needed to get out of that tower learn something about the world myself and...” she bit her lip drawing small circles in the dirt with her foot.


Kairi felt something flare “look if it’s a safety concern I promise we can handle anything she was just taking us with to see the lights. My daughter was really excited to see them” she said hoisting the little girl onto her hip.


.........

Aqua shrugged “seems with sora anything’s possible thank you ven Atleast we know kairi is partially right.” She said with a smile

Terra frowned “we don’t shes right about the kid but atleast we know he’s still out there”

......

Roxas, xion, and axel all frowned at the messages “what do you think Roxas?” He asked the boy with a frown “is there anything to what kairi’s saying?” He asked rubbing his chin “we’ve all come back from the brink so I’m tempted to say she’s onto something” he said with a shrug.

........


Merlin frowned “why is it always my house damn yen sid and his moving tower” the old man muttered. About the other powerful wizard.

.....

Else where an old key blade master chuckled mischievously being able to hide the tower was a blessing sometimes....
