-Chapter Four-

 

 

Sora was not having an easy time of eating his noodles with the chopsticks the Chinese restaurant had brought with the meals. This was making Riku chuckle, fondly, as he ate his own food with an expertise that spoke of familiarity.

 

“Since when did you learn to eat with these things?” Sora asked, indicating his chopsticks.

 

“Since Mulan's world,” Riku shrugged. “I was there for a week before you caught up with me. I still keep in touch with that world. One of the restaurants there is where I order from.”

 

“You really shouldn't do that,” King Mickey pointed out. “The worlds are supposed to be kept apart. Remember?”

 

Riku nodded. “But why? Wouldn't it be better for everyone if the worlds were united?”

 

“Beats me,” Sora shrugged. He turned to ask Axel his opinion, but the fire mage was too busy kissing Demyx to notice anything.

 

The two mages were in the middle of sharing a mini-corn cob when Sora flung one and hit Axel in the face. There was a slight pause in which Sora had to cover his mouth to try and stifle his laughter before Axel rose from his chair, spinning his chakrams. Sora's eyes widened and he got up out of his chair.

 

In a flash, the brunet was running around the table, being chased by the flaming chakrams. Riku watched for a while with mild interest before taking the initiative and tripping up Sora, causing the boy to fall on his face. The chakrams returned to their master and Axel looked over Sora, still lying on the floor.

 

“That oughta teach ya.”

 

The fire mage sat back down in his seat and proceeded to feed Demyx little bits of vegetables out of his Chinese ramen. Sora grumbled something about `crazy redheads' and went back to his chair, flopping down on it and trying, once again, to eat his food with the chopsticks. King Mickey surveyed this whole scene in silence, watching in mild amusement as the noodles fell from Sora's chopsticks…again.

 

“So, what were you saying about the four of us needing to defeat these elemental forces, King Mickey?” Riku asked, setting aside his chopsticks.

 

The king coughed and said,

 

“Right. Well, each of you has the ability to use one element. Each element counters another. Since the current Heartless and Nobodies are elemental in nature, you're all needed to use your abilities against those which your own abilities counter.”
