Welcome to Gaia! ::

Even though she stood in the dark lighting of his room the key still glistened in her hand, turning it over she sighed, feeling guilty once again before walking out. Kari took off her backpack, shoving the pouch in it as she walked out the door, turning around to only close and lock it.
"Yeah, alright." She scratched her cheek, getting an odd feeling that she might have said too much on the matter. With another irritated grumble she followed after him, boarding the ship.

Kari sat there as well, silent through out the whole trip. Through the windsheild she could see Mickey's castle, where undoubtly Sora and the others were already at.
She licked her lips nervously, unsure of what to say after having felt like saying too much.

She kept her hands in her lap, fiddling with her fingers while she rubbed her nails togther, picking at her nail beds.
Every so often she looked up, seeing that their gummi ship drifted closer and closer to Mickey's castle till it was practically docking. The feeling that was between them when she became close to them was gone, even though it had just happen an hour ago. But that was the thing about Roxas now, he only seemed to be happy when she was cozy with him, something she didn't want to be.

The ship bumped along again, meaning that their docking was taking place, and it clearly was visible through the glass shield. Kari swallowed, undoing her seatbelt once again but keeping her eyes looking out. "Roxas...I love you."

The door opened, cutting her off and making her turn around to see that Sora and his friends had let themselves in. "Wow! This place is so high-tech!" Kari stood up, suddenly remembering that Roxas and Axel had put their cloaks on, standing up to push the trio back out. "Yeah, yeah. Get out,"

She shoved them out the door, pushing them onto King Mickey's lush grass. "You took forever to get here!" Donald threw his hands in the air, crossing them before he tapped his webbed foot against the dirt. Kari shrugged, not really having anything to say but Sora chuckled. "Yeah, what were you doing?" She snorted, making a face while she pulled on his cheek. "Taking a much needed vacation from, you." Sora swatted her hand away, also chuckling at her joke to which Kari turned her front torso around; facing Axel and Roxas but not all the way.
"Thank for the ride guys," She gave them a single salute with her hand, before her attention was brought back to the front by Sora. "Come on, King Mickey wants to meet you." She sighed, slouching a bit as she felt like she had to go back to work. But they all started walking together, stepping forward while Kari did the same, throwing her hand back while she waved goodbye.

"King Mickey." "Hyuck', your Majesty." "Hey again, King Mickey."
All three of them had bowed, leaving Kari to stand there stiff and straight before Donald had opened one eye, reaching up to grab onto her upper arm and pulling her down. She blushed, fretting about how many things she was doing wrong today. "Ah! Um...Hazzah! King Mickey!" Donald slapped his hand onto his face, bringing it down and making his bill bend again before they all stood back up, Goofy chuckling.

"It's fine, I've heard a lot about ya' Kari." She gave a sheepish smile, scratching her cheek then the back of her hand. "Oh," He nodded in a swift motion as he sat in his swivel chair before his desk, Pluto laying in his small circular dog bed. "It's fine," he said gleefully, "I also hear you're looking for Xenmas, we'll it's a good thing I know where he is!"

All four of them perked back up, shocked as they had pulled together to look directly as King Mickey. "Wow! Really?"
Mickey gave a 'hmph' noise and a nod, jumping off his chair and rounding about his desk before he came infront of it. "Yes, but it's a good thing you have Kari, we'll need her." The quad disembled themselves, Sora, Donald and Goofy backing up a bit before eyeing Kari which made her feel uncomfortable and wave her hands about. "H-Hey! I don't know what's going on."
"That's alright," King Mickey pushed past the group, going to the offices main door before opening it and walking out, the group following after him. "We're going to track him down, the way you've used is old and I'm sure he's caught onto your pattern Kari." Kari grumbled to herself, rubbing her nose then both her cheeks as she felt inadequet. "But I've developed a full proof way to get to him."

Mickey clenched his hand into a fist, stopping infront of large double doors. "And it's in here," he opened both doors quickly, peeking into the room where the two throwns wer but nothing else. "Here your Majesty?" Mickey nodded once more, trotting down toward the end of the room and pushing aside the throwns, to which Donald and Goofy jumped and helped him out. "We're going to use the cornerstone of light," the group became awe-stricken, leaving Kari to feel left out as they went down a level. "What's the corner...stone...of light." But she stopped, having her questioned answered once they made it to the low level of the basement. "All ya' gotta do Kari, is touch it, and it'll show us where the impurity is."

Donald piped up, pushing his way forward to Mickey, standing by the cornerstone. "But why Kari?" She stopped, feeling bad once again as she had not told them about her affairs with the Organization, but looking at King Mickey she could see that he wasn't going to rat her out. "It's just gotta be her, so stand back."

"So should we just go raid it?" Kari came up behind Sora, letting her hand smack against his head before she boarded the ship; leaving Sora to rub the back of his head. "We can't just go raid their castle Sora, we have to have a plan." She plopped herself down in her chair, which had been installed by Chip and Dale, and swiveled in it a bit. "Yeah Sora, Kari's right." Donald and Goofy sat down as well, Sora limping in and being overdramatic. "Well what should we do then, Sora?"

He sat in his own chair, shutting the main door as the ship started and sounded out a low hum. "Maybe we should go back to the Borrough? And stock up on some supplies," Kari puffed out some air, blowing her bangs up while she turned and took off her backpack digging for her pouch to see if she had anymore candy left in. "I need another vacation," Goofy and Donald snickered again, making Sora pout as he flipped some switches to offened the ship. "I think you were away for too long!" Kari rolled her eyes, digging in her bag and finally pulling out the pouch, shaking it and feeling a bit upset at the pouch not making any noises.

"Are you trying to say you have a thing for me?" The gumi ship began to hover up in the air, Sora mocking her with his own snicker before they took off. Even though there was nothing left she opened the pouch anyways, wonering if there was at least one more little piece of candy left. But instead she pulled out a piece of paper and unfolded it.

"W-What is this?"

Kari stood up, letting her bag fall off her lap and onto the floor, not carring for it a bit while the note became crumpled in her hand. "Stop! Stop! Land the ship!" She leaped forward, pushing Sora over while she tried to press any button that she could, not carring for their functions.
Sora snarled, gritting his teeth while he tried to push his way back and finally landing the ship. "Kari, what's wrong with you?!"
But she didn't answer his question, instead she left the ship, irradically pressing the button and opening the main door to run back out and meet King Mickey.

"Hmm, this is a dilemma."
"S-So theres nothing we can do?" Kari took a step back from his desk, grabbing at the note and clutching it to her chest. "If we go about it the right way then there's something that we can do. First you need to go to the borrough, round up all of Sora's friends. It's going to be a big fight, you'll need all the help you can get."
Kari pouted, looking back down at the note but not looking at the words. "W-What about you, your Highness?" King Mickey sat in his chair, his small mouse tail flipping about in the air. "Don't worry about me, just go get everything prepared. Tell Sora and the others about the plan, I'll get some other things ready too and meet you there."

Kari nodded, bowing down low to him before she stood back up and ran to Sora and the others.

They had a plan now. A full proof one.
Sora's gummi ship zoomed between worlds, their destination was being set by Kari; and it was no longer the borrough.

"Are you sure we should do this?"
Kari sat in the chair, a bit furious and fuming that he had asked the same questions so many times. "Yes Sora. They're King Mickey's orders, it will be beneficial."

"And what if they don't accept you back? What if they wipe your memory?"
"Or turn you into a Dusk!"
Kari sighed, rolling her eyes as she got another earful of the lecture for the third time. "The possibility of Xenmas turning me down is low, but those things could happen as well. Wether he likes it or not he can't deny that he needs me, I'm a vital tool to him."

Sora's gummi ship stopped, the door opening at the castle that the cornerstone of light had shown them. "I'll come back to get you. Xenmas won't have you in his mits forever," Donald and Goofy nodded, agreeing with his statement as Kari got off; giving them a faint smile and a goodbye.

The air near the castle was dark, the whole atmosphere was sad; just like how she felt. But Kari pressed on, opening the doors with both of her hands because she knew it was something she must do.
She wasn't too surprised that there was no one stationed to protect the castle, with such a dark aura no one probably made an effort to go.
"Master Xenmas, I've come back to be your pawn."

Kari became disgusted at their close proximity but put up with it, bending down and grabbing her clothes which were thrusted upon the floor.
She didn't think that the members would welcome her back with open arms, at least not all of them.

Quickly she put on her robes to cease any confusion between her ties with the Organization.

"Hm? Kari? You're back?"
Kari had been looking down, fixing the frontal part of her robes before she looked up and smiled wanely at Demyx. "Yes, I learned where my ties were."
He grinned, having found food and eating it while it was in his mouth. "Well then! I think this deserves a massive jam session, eh? Come on, you can bunk with me." He put one arm around her, dragging her along down the staircase and toward one of his rooms.

"Hey, Hey! Kari's back!" He shouted down a hallway, making Xigabar poke out of his own room. "Eh, you're back again? We always knew you'd come back, although if you came back a few months earlier I would've won the bet." Kari sighed, frowning at both of them before she swatted her hand infront of her face, wanting them to leave her alone.

"Alright, chickie. This, is our room." A door opened to Demyx's room, it was large but with only one bed, to which Kari shot him a look. "We are not sharing a bed," He chuckled lightly, waving his own hand in the air to defend himself from her glare. "Chill out, I'll get another one."

Demyx had framed his fingers in a square, closing one eye while the other looked through the boxy hole. "We can put your bed riiiight the--" And then he was gone, making Kari turn her head to see that his bedroom door was being slammed in his own face.

"Roxas! What do you think you're doing in my room?" She could hear him holler but it didn't matter too much as she smiled and scratched her cheek, tilting her head a bit.
"I learned where my ties were, my mission is soley to help Xenmas achieve in getting Kingdom Hearts." She shrugged and the door opened once again, Demyx slamming it back in Roxas' face.

"Jeez Roxas, I know you're excited to see her but get the hell out."
Xigabar lightly chuckled, stepping into the 'drama'. "There's an extra bed in the foyer." Demyx nodded, looking at Kari to which she shot a look at him.
"Fine, I'll be the gentleman and go get the bed." He put his hands up, turning around again before fleeting from his own room and back down to the foyer.
