Maya's Kingdom Hearts 2 SoraXMaya book #3

The World That Never Was PT 1

Maya's P.O.V

"Whoa!" I yelped, rolling on the ground as I hit something with my back, after coming out of a dark portal. 

I growled facing Saix. He didn't say anything and just left through the same portal I cam out of. " Coward! Come here and fight me like a real man!" Just as I lifted my Keyblade to swing at him, he disappears.  

" Fuck!" I muttered. I really didn't think this through. I sigh being trapped what looks to be in a dungeon. 

"M-M-Maya?" 

My body stiffens hearing my name being called. I didn't know there was someone else here. I quickly turned around to point my Keyblade at the person. 

I gasped when I finally saw who it was. " Kairi?" There's no way it was her. She looks so different.  I made my Keyblade disappeared as she steps closer to me. 

" Is it... really you, Maya?" She questioned examining me up and down. 

" Y-yeah. Sorry. Didn't mean to attack you like that." I scratched my head.  

I was taken back when she suddenly hugged me. " Sora told everyone you were dead." She says letting go of the hug but still had her hands on my arms.  I avoided staring at her and glanced at the ground. 

" You would've liked that, huh?" I don't know why I said that. 

She looked hurt by my words. " Why would you think that? I never would have assumed you to be.... you don't know how devastated everyone was when they found out. Even... Even Sora. When he came back for me and told me, In that short moment I could see it had effected him the most. The sparks in his eyes... they were gone." 

Now I felt like shit saying that to her. I knew it was my jealousy getting in the way. " I'm sorry. I-- I didn't mean what I said." I apologized to her. I shouldn't even thinking about my feeling right now. 

Kairi smiled as she shook her head. " I know you were never good at using your words."  I smiled too finally meeting her eyes. 

" Anyways... do you know where we are?" I asked looking around the dungeon. 

She shook her head. I'd figure she wouldn't know. I sigh walking up to the bars of the cell. " Well, I don't know about you, but I really don't want to be a damsel in distress. I'm breaking us out of here." Kairi steps back as I took out my Keyblade and started smashing the bars. 

Ain't no way I'm gonna stand around and wait for Sora to show up.

Normal P.O.V

Sora and the gang found themselves back in Twilight Town. " Hey! I think we're almost there!" Goofy said causing Sora and Donald question him. " Gawrsh, aren't we here because of the picture?" Goofy asked them. Goofy pulled it out of his pocket. " Look, I'll show ya!" 

" Yeah! Goofy's right!" Donald said. 

" C'mon, let's go find this mansion!" Goofy suggested. 

" Yeah." Sora nods it's the only lead they have. 

-------

Not long the Quartet, found the mansion deep in the forest. The one that was shown in the picture. " Hey, are you guys all right? What happened?" Sora asked they found Hayner and his friends laying on the ground. 

Hayner groans sitting up. " We came here looking for Kairi. Then those white things attacked us..." 

" You gotta be careful" Donald told him. 

" Yeah, you guys didn't have to go and do that."  Sora said.  It was his job to find his friends. 

" Of course we did. Kairi's our friend, too, ya know." Hayner argued.
