Sora in the Sand (TK) (Original)

This crosspost was long overdue, but as of now it's one of my all-time tickling stories ever, so it was only fair for me to share it myself! Just as a disclaimer, THIS STORY IS NOT MINE, but is a repost, with permission and credit, of a story written under my supervision for the week of my birthday last month, same as last year! It was once again created by Indigo-Bunny, whom I'd highly recommend checking out, though I also contributed to its writing significantly enough to consider it a bit of a co-write. This fic is also accompanied by an illustration produced for me by the inimitable PodFrog, also as a birthday gift, which I believe is a perfect accompaniment to this fantastic story! As always, if you want to check out and support the work of both Indigo and Pod, go check out their respective DeviantArt profiles linked above. A big thanks to these two for creating this wonderful story!

Credit for the calculations of Sora's shoe size and foot measurements goes to manjumemajeur (the link of which is provided in the Author's Notes at the bottom of the page), and Alexgingel is credited for the details regarding the toe bondage implemented in this story.

I'm not super familiar with the Kingdom Hearts series, as I've never played the games, but from what I've seen, it seems like a rather interesting and enjoyable series. I can certainly see why it's so popular, and can also tell why Sora is a much-loved protagonist, as I really like his design and personality as well. It's also hard to ignore his massive feet, considering how huge his shoes are xD Anyway, thanks again to all that contributed towards this project, especially SkaeaDaimonion for the original idea.

Disclaimer/Spoiler Warning: This story takes place immediately after the ending cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts II, and there will be several references throughout the story. Below are the links to the cutscenes of the game.

Kingdom Hearts: Sora in the Sand

The sun slowly began to set beyond the horizon, hues of pinks, oranges and reds shining in the reflection of the sea surrounding Destiny Island. There was a sense of serenity in the air, gentle breezes carrying the slightly salty, yet pleasant scent of the sparkling water. The rustling of lush green palm leaves mingled with the calls of seabirds overhead and the gentle rushing of the waves against the shorelines at the edge of this tropical paradise, the fine, white sand shimmering in the evening light.

On one such shoreline sat a teenaged boy with a slender frame and soft features, gazing forlornly at the ocean as the sun continued its gradual descent. His spiky brown hair blew ever-so-lightly against the breeze, and his deep blue eyes were more vibrant than the sea itself, contrasting his navy blue t-shirt with a hooded short-sleeved black jacket over it. His black and blue shorts were held up by yellow belts, securing red pockets to each leg, and black, finger-less gloves covered his hands, while silver crown necklace looped around his neck, hanging in front of the center of his chest. His oversized black and yellow shoes had been pulled off and set aside, the teen's bare toes lightly digging into the soft, white tropical sand.

"Sora?"

Hearing the sound of his friend's voice, Sora turned his head to see her approaching him. The girl's dark auburn hair gently brushed against her shoulders, her cerulean eyes fixated on him. She wore a pink, strapless mini-dress with three white zippers going down a front of it, and a white halter top underneath it. A black belt was around her waist, containing a black bag that resembled a notebook. A pair of lavender shoes with black laces completed her attire, with the addition of a few bracelets on her left wrist and a necklace with a silver bead.

Sora gave a smile. "Oh, hey, Kairi."

"So, this is where you've been, huh? Your mom was looking for you, and I had to assure her that you're okay and would be back for dinner soon," she told him with a smile.

"Heh, it's been awhile since I've last heard that," he said with a wry smile.

Sensing that he was feeling down, Kairi sat down beside him. "Is something wrong?"

"Ah, no, everything is fine," he replied.

"Are you sure? You don't seem fine," she pointed out.

He laughed sheepishly. "No, really, I am."

"Sora," Kairi probed, trying to get him to open up.

"It's nothing, Kairi. Really," he insisted. While that wasn't entirely true, he didn't want to trouble Kairi, hoping that she would take his word.

However, the girl wasn't easily swayed. "You know that you can talk to me about anything, right? That's what friends are for," she reminded him.

Realizing that she was right, he gave a nod and let a sigh. "It's just that...things aren't the same as they used to be, ya know? I've had all these amazing adventures, and I miss Donald and Goofy already. It's weird not being around them after everything we've been through together..." he trailed off.

It was true. The past few years had been some of the wildest of Sora's life thus far - for a start, he, Donald, and Goofy had gone on an entire world-hopping adventure not long after the spiky-haired teen had left Destiny Island for the first time. But then they had been held in suspended animation after losing their memories at the end of said adventure, and upon awakening once more, the three had been sent by King Mickey and Yen Sid to track down Sora's friend Riku and the mysterious Organization XIII, which had been causing trouble across the many worlds that the friends had visited in the past, plus a few more besides.

It had turned out that the Organization, led by a Nobody named Xemnas, had sought Sora's power to regain their lost hearts, holding Kairi hostage to ensure his compliance, and on top of this, Riku had been transformed into a Heartless-like form as part of the Organization's plans. Ultimately, though, a few critical mistakes on the part of the Organization had freed Riku, who teamed up with Sora to take Xemnas down, though at the cost of the two boys being trapped in the realm of darkness, seemingly for good.

Kairi sniffled a little as she remembered her own experiences as well. "When I got back home, I... I thought I'd lost you," she said, her voice breaking slightly. "You and Riku both. I still can't believe I was able to bring you back, but-"

"But you did," Sora replied, smiling at her a little. "And that's what matters. You saved me and Riku both. I can't thank you enough for that, and I'm sure Riku would say the same."

Indeed, in what could only be described as a miracle, Kairi had managed to bring her friends back to Destiny Island by sending them a means of escaping the realm of darkness. The three teens were home now, but Donald and Goofy had to return to King Mickey's realm. It had been a bittersweet farewell, but Sora knew that he'd have to part ways with the mage and the knight, so that they could return to where they themselves belonged.

"Sora?" asked Kairi. "Are... are you crying?"

"Huh? N-no, I'm not!" Sora wiped the tears from his eyes with his arm, and Kairi chuckled a little. But then her face fell.

"I know it's hard, not knowing where your other friends are now. But I've still got that letter Mickey sent, the one we read earlier. I'm still trying to figure out what it meant, but whatever it's about, I'm sure Donald and Goofy will be able to handle it just fine. From what you've told me, they're definitely strong enough to do it!"

"Well, I wouldn't say that in Donald's case, exactly," Sora replied, unable to stop a rueful chuckle as the memory of how often the duck's magic spells had proven so inconveniently erratic throughout their journey replayed in the back of his mind. "But other than that, I can attest to their power for sure! It's just..." He looked away, trying (and failing) to hide the fact that he was starting to tear up again. "It's just not the same without them! For all I know, they're probably going on this great big new journey now, just Donald and Goofy, without me..."

Kairi didn't know what to say in response, glancing down at her feet. She wondered if there was anything she could do to cheer him up, then glanced over and noticed the way his naked feet were slightly buried in the sand, his toes wiggling slightly, before she did a double-take.

As it turned out, Sora's shoes were gigantic for a very good reason. As her eyes became transfixed upon his feet, watching as he flexed them a bit, she couldn't help but take in just how immense they really were. It occurred to her just then that despite playing on the beach with him a lot since they were kids, it had been years since she'd seen him barefooted, but if anything, his shoes had only grown bigger than ever. She'd once thought to herself, a little facetiously, that give the size of his shoes, surely he had some incredibly large feet to match - but she was rightly shocked to see how right on the money she was. She wasn't sure if this was due to some weird pubescent growth spurt or if his feet had always been that massive, but either way, she couldn't stop herself staring at them. It was difficult to calculate their exact size, but Kairi estimated them at 18 inches long, which would leave him roughly around size 30. On top of this, they seemed surprisingly well-kept also. Kairi had never struck Sora as the type that would take special care of his feet, yet she could see how soft and smooth his skin looked.

What Sora never suspected was that for a very long time, Kairi had a hidden interest in his enormous feet, regardless of how they really looked - it was just that she was a little too demure about it to bring it up to his face. But now, even as she admired his feet from a safe distance, the gears started turning in her head, her gaze unnoticed by Sora as an idea came to her. Perhaps tonight was the perfect time after all to give those sizable stompers the treatment that they deserved.

"Hey, would you mind waiting a bit?" Kairi asked with a smile. "I have to go get some stuff for a game that I want to play with you. I'll be right back, okay?"

As his friend walked away, Sora was left to wonder what kind of game she was talking about. Curious as to what Kairi had in mind for him, and with nothing else going on anyway, he decided to wait patiently for her. He gazed off into the sunset for a few minutes, until the auburn-haired girl returned, surprised to see that she had brought a shovel and some string with her. He had a feeling that he recognized what those were for, yet couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Okay, get comfortable, because I'm going to bury you," Kairi told him with a smile.

He blinked with confusion. "Huh?"

Minutes later, Sora found himself buried in the sand, with only his head and bare feet exposed. The sand had been packed down rather tightly, and although the boy didn't find it uncomfortable, he couldn't move around at all with the exception of wiggling his feet around slightly. Yet that mobility was soon taken away as well when Kairi tied all of his toes back. This left his soles stretched taut, the string intricately tethered around his ankles to to ensure that he wouldn't be able to move his toes around at all. Other than brief twitches, he had been left completely helpless. It was quite the impressive bondage, to say the least.

"Are you comfortable?" Kairi asked.

He chuckled a bit. "I guess. Feels weird being buried in the sand, ya know. I mean...it's rough, coarse, and gets everywhere," he joked.

The girl rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile in spite of herself. "Yeah, well, it works really well in keeping a person trapped when it's packed down enough. Perfect for our game."

"Um, what kind of game is this exactly-" Sora's eyes went wide when Kairi brought her face close to his feet, lightly sniffing around them. His cheeks heated up from this, a light blush appearing on his face. "K-Kairi, what are you doing?" he stammered, gasping a bit when he felt her blow little puffs of hair on his bare soles. The sensation was mild yet it already felt ticklish, and it was then that the brunet realized what was about to happen. "Hehehehehe!"

"Mmm...it's really mild, but the scent of your feet reminds me of Paopu Fruit," Kairi beamed. "It's really nice." Legend had it that if two people shared the fruit would have their destinies intertwine with one another.

That comment caused Sora to blush even more profusely, still perplexed about the whole ordeal. "W-what's the name of this game, anyway?"

"Well, I suppose you can consider it a new version of 'Pirate Treasure'," Kairi told him as she continued to sniff along his feet. It had been a favorite childhood game of theirs growing up, and it had been quite awhile since the last time they had played. The only difference was that Sora's feet had been left exposed, unlike the original version when only his head had been visible. He wasn't sure why Kairi had opted to leave his feet out in the open, though he was starting to have a feeling of where this was going.

"Oh, I see," Sora said with a chuckle. "Sounds like this is gonna be interesting. But, uh, how did you find out about my ticklishness?"

"Hm, I wonder," she teased.

"Heh, not gonna tell me?" he smirked.

She beamed. "Maybe later."

"Wow, how rude of you," the brown-haired teen quipped.

Just as Kairi was about to make a move, she hesitated, a conflicted expression on her face. "Maybe I shouldn't... I don't know if this is going to make you uncomfortable or not..."

"Actually...I think I know where you're going with this, and I honestly don't mind," the brunet assured her, then flashed her a grin. "My feet are all yours!"

Kairi was surprised by his offer, overcome with excitement now that she had gotten his consent. There was nothing holding her back now.

"Oh!" Sora jolted as he felt something warm and wet gliding along his left sole, the sensations shooting through his entire foot. It felt strange, yet wonderful at the same time, yet also tickled quite a bit. "Aaahaaahahahahaah! Mmmmm! Mmmmphehehehheheheheh!"

Smiling to herself, Kairi happily worshipped the vulnerable feet before her. Despite the fact that he'd been digging around the sand earlier, Sora had been instructed to brush as much of it off right before he had been buried. So rather than experiencing a distasteful flavor from the sand, she instead enjoyed the natural taste of his scrumptious soles, that pleasant aroma that reminded her of Paopu Fruit, only adding to their appeal. She was delighted to see the kind of reaction that the teenager yielded, listening to his frantic laughter as she licked and tickled his feet. Her nails teasingly skittered every which way, from his heels, over the balls of his feet, and even under his toes, she noticed how he seemed to be a bit more hysterical near the center of his arches. Very interesting indeed.

Sora laughed as he was subjected to the tickles, unable to writhe around very much as he remained buried in the sand. He tried to ask her how she had found out about his sensitivity, having difficulties articulating the words. "K-KAIRIHIHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!" Even when she wasn't focusing on his worst spots, the tickling drove the brunet mad, the sensations shooting through his trapped feet. There was no way for him to scrunch his soles in defense to lessen the intensity of the assault, the string leaving every last inch of his feet easily accessible to the girl. His blue eyes squeezed shut, tears brimming at the corners as his face turned increasingly red."T-TELL MEHEHEHEHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA! WH-WHO TOLD YOUHUHAHAHAHHAHAHA!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!" While he hadn't expected a game such as this, he found it rather fun as he felt her tongue and nails dancing along his soles. It was unlike anything he had ever experienced before, and while he wanted her to answer him, he didn't exactly want her to stop.

Kairi refused to do so, however, simply allowing herself to enjoy the fantasy that she had long ago started dreaming about. Although Sora seemed incredibly flustered, it didn't look as though he disliked what she was doing to him. For starters, he hadn't exactly asked her to stop, the boy more focused on finding out how she had discovered that he was ticklish. It was more fun to just let him wonder about it, as Kairi was too engrossed in the delectable feet before her to care about answering his question. Her tongue flicked and swirled along his smooth skin, all while she continued to lightly scribble her nails every which way. She was careful not to dig in too roughly, but occasionally applied a bit more pressure to increase the intensity of the tickling. Her speed changed up as well, throwing Sora off each time she sped up or slowed down, which kept him in a perpetual state of guessing. "Wow, Sora, your feet are as ticklish as they are gigantic," she teased him, poking at his soles a bit. "It's so adorable!" She licked him in between little taunts, gentle nibbling on the plushy balls of his feet to really make him jump with a shriek. "Tickle tickle tickle!

Pleading for her to tell him, Sora's trapped body shook with hysterical bouts of laughter, the tears finally starting to fall down his face. He playfully demanded that she tell him, his repeated attempts only resulting in more tickling. He screamed and yelped as she kept this up, vaguely reminded of someone else having tickled him before when they were younger. He yelled again when Kairi zeroed in on his toes and arches, his laughter spiking even further as his nerves were sent in a frenzy. "AAAAHHHNOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" He again tried to ask her where she had gotten that information, but most of his words were drowned out, her skilled tongue and fingers driving him ballistic. At the same time, he enjoyed every second of the attention, his toes twitching in their bonds. "AAHHHHH!" Sora shrieked she again nibbled on the bottoms of his feet, soon feeling her lapping at his defenseless toes. While not as bad as his arches, it still sent him into a fit of uncontrollable laughter to the point where he couldn't form a coherent thought. All he could do was lie there and take it, his occasional begging ignored as Kairi continued to help herself to his feet.

Finally, the tickling came to a halt so that Sora could have a moment to catch his breath. It had left him rather windswept, yet feeling giddy at the same time. The sadness that he'd felt had all but melted away, and although he was still missing Donald and Goofy, this little game that Kairi had set up had raised his spirits quite a bit. "Wow..." he gasped out, trying to catch his breath. "You're really mean!"

Kairi giggled at the playful accusation. "Ah, I'm not that mean..."

Once he'd managed to calm down, Sora gave her a mocking pout. "You still won't tell me how you found out that I'm ticklish?"

"Who says that I found out?" she teased, her face moving closer to his feet once more.

He smirked. "Oh, so you just guessed that I'm overly sensitive?"

"I didn't say that either," she said with an innocent smile.

"Ah, so that's how it's gonna be, huh? I guess pirates really aren't that honest, then," he chuckled. "But I suppose that means you're playing the part pretty accurately."

She giggled. "Exactly." With his feet so close, she couldn't help but sniff at them a bit more.

Sora thought for a moment before a smirk appeared on his lips. "So, the game's called 'Pirate Treasure, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. What about it?" Kairi replied.

"And the goal is to dig up the treasure right?" he continued.

She nodded her head. "Uh-huh."

"Well, you tied my feet up, and now you're sniffing them instead of doing that whole 'digging up the treasure' bit," Sora said, noticing how she seemed more engrossed in her current activity rather than tickling him some more.

Kairi glanced over at him, still delicately sniffing at his large soles. "Yes, and?"

"Well...it's just...wouldn't it be awful if pirates tied me up and sniffed my feet?" he quipped.

"Hm, you saying that just makes me want to sniff them even more," she replied.

At that, Sora couldn't help but break into uncontrollable laughter. "Oh, don't sniff my feet, please! Please don't sniff them... They're crinkly and mighty indeed, but pleeeeease, just don't sniff on my feet...please?"

Kairi burst into laughter as well, greatly amused by his playful mock-begging tone as he 'pleaded' with her. "Okay, now you're just encouraging me! I'll have to get you for that! After all, I still need to find the "X", so..." With that, she started to vigorously tickle his trapped soles, her fingers scribbling all over the smooth, sensitive skin. "I've found some obvious weak points, but I'm not quite sure if I've located the "X" quite yet. So I should keep looking around just to be sure, right?" she added mischievously.

Just like before, Sora immediately broke down into a fit of loud, uncontrollable laughter as soon as Kairi had resumed her tickle attack. This time, his friend focused more heavily on his toes, trying to get under and in between the immobilized digits. Even with the twine wrapped around them, Kairi had plenty of access to the digits, able to delve into every nook and cranny with the tip of her tongue and dexterous fingers. She lapped at the bases and stems of the highly sensitive toes, relishing his frantic reactions. She nibbled on the plump pads of the digits, teasing along the very tips of them as well. Those tender crevices in between were also unbearably sensitive, leaving Sora in a state of sheer desperation as he screamed and laughed. He could feel her nails adding to his torment, the sensation of Kairi sucking on his toes leaving him even more flustered than before. Despite all this, he didn't plead for her to stop or release him, but continued to stubbornly urge her to tell him how she had discovered his ticklishness. He doubted that she had guessed it on her own, having a gut feeling that she had found out some other way, yet she refused to answer him.

"Mmm, I'm not gonna tell you, Sora," she giggled, trailing down the balls of his feet with her fingertips. "You'll either have to try to figure it out yourself or wait until I'm ready to reveal it on my own accord. But I have to warn you, it's gonna be a little while..." Just like that, she resumed the enthusiastic worshipping, this time concentrating on his arches once more. His toes had yielded quite the amusing reaction, yet she wanted to confirm if these sweet spots would make him even more desperate.

Just as predicted, Sora jolted with yell, overwhelmed by the sensations. "AAAAAHAHAHAH! W-WAHAHAHAHAHAIT! AAHHHH! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH! KAIRIHIHAHAHAHAHAA!" Even now, Sora wasn't requesting her to stop, yet it was clear just how much the tickling were affecting him. His endless peals of laughter seemed to pour out nonstop, fresh tears streaming down his brightly flushed face as he was licked and teased.

"Looks like I did, in fact, find the "X", huh?" Kairi teased, then proceeded to swirl the tip of her tongue along the center of his left arch while her fingernail scribbled over his right.

For the next few minutes, Sora was reduced to a hysterical wreck, occasionally managing to ask Kairi for an answer. For some reason, he was dying to find out how she had obtained that information, especially considering how suspicious she was being about it. Even still, the girl refused to provide any sort of clues, simply helping herself to his scrumptious feet as she tickled and worshipped every last spot that they had to offer.

Eventually, Kairi gave Sora another breather, pulling back with a satisfied smile on her face. "Yes, I definitely think that I've found the treasure," she said gleefully as she poked at his arches.

Sora let out a few breathy chuckles, trying to calm down after the tickling. His feet tingled slightly, glistening a bit from Kairi's saliva. The sun still had not completely set, and even then, the moon would illuminate their surroundings enough where it wouldn't truly be dark. With that in mind, the evening still felt rather early, so he wasn't quite in a rush to head home. "I-I guess you did," he finally replied with a grin.

"Sora? Kairi?"

The familiar voice caught the teenagers' attention, the two of them looking over to see their friend making his way towards them. The young man was taller and a bit more muscular than Sora, his silver hair falling down to his upper back. His eyes were bright blue-green in color, which were filled with amusement as he took in the sight of Sora lying buried in the sand. He wore a sleeveless, black, double-zippered shirt under an open white vest, the collar and bottom of which were yellow. His blue pants were rather baggy, the large pockets on either side a lighter shade. The pants were held up by a black and silver belt, and he wore a white wrist guard on his left arm. His white shoes were gray on the bottom and top, with three black stripes on each side, and tied with yellow laces.

"Oh, hey, Riku!" Sora called out. "What brings you here-" It was then that a sudden realization hit him, slamming him with the answer he'd been desperately trying to figure out. That certain someone that had tickled him when they were younger had been none other than Riku, and Sora put two and two together that Riku had been the one that had tattled to Kairi about his ticklishness. "So it was you, huh!? You're the one that told Kairi that I'm ticklish, didn't you!?" the brunet scolded in a joking, melodramatic manner. "You're such a traitor, Riku!" he added with a laugh, getting the other two to laugh as well.

"Guilty as charged," Riku remarked with a smirk as he sat down near Kairi in front of Sora's feet. "She was bound to find out eventually. I just sped the process along a bit. So I guess that's why you're buried in the sand, huh?"

Sora snickered. "Yup, we were playing a new version of 'Pirate Treasure', and well, I'm sure you can see where this was going."

"Seeing how I found the "X", Kairi chimed in, prodding at his arches again, prompting him to chuckle. "It looks like I win!"

"Hehe! I guess so," he replied.

"Well, since your game is over, how about a little competition?" Riku suggested to Kairi. "I'll get one foot, and you can get the other, and we'll see which of us can drive Sora more crazy."

Kairi beamed. "Ah, now that seems like fun! I'm in!"

The aspect of the two of them ganging up on Sora made him gulp, wondering just how intense the tickling would be now that there was an extra tickler. He'd had a hard time enduring it when it had just been Kairi dishing it out, so he could only imagine how much more intense it would be now that Riku was in on the assault as well. "Y-you'll go easy on me...right?" he said with a nervous smile.

Riku paid no attention to Sora's mild concern. "Is this your handiwork?" he asked Kairi, taking in the sight of the intricate bondage that Sora's toes had been tied in. "I gotta say, that's pretty impressive."

"I wanted to make sure that he was completely helpless," she beamed, also proud of her work.

He gave a nod of acknowledgment. "You'll have to teach me how to do this sometime. With that being said, I've also got a few things that we can use to tickle Sora with," Riku added, pulling some stuff out of his pockets.

Sora was shocked to see a few feathers, as well as some soft-bristled paintbrushes, a few sets of chopsticks, and some forks. "Why do you have all that stuff on you!?"

"No reason," the silver-haired teen replied nonchalantly.

"You knew that Kairi was going to tickle me tonight, didn't you?" Sora playfully accused him.

"Nope, not at all," Riku smirked, grabbing one of the forks. "Anyway, let's see which one of us can tickle you worse."

Kairi chose a long, stiff feather, wanting to see how much it would affect the brunet. "Ready whenever you are."

"Okay, let's do this," he replied, bringing the fork close to Sora's left sole.

Before Sora could say anything else, the two of them began to test out their respective tools on him, causing him to jolt with a start. "Aaahhh! Aahahahahahahahahaha!" He could feel Riku lightly dragging the fork up and down his large sole, while Kairi stroked along the bottom of his other foot. "Hahahahahahahahah! Th-that ticklesehahahahahahahaha!" he exclaimed through his laughter.

"Hm, ya don't say," Riku mused. "With clown feet like yours, I'd be surprised if they weren't stupidly ticklish."

"Hehehehehey! Aaahahahahahahahahaha!" Sora tried to scrunch up his soles, but the restraints prevented him from doing so. There was absolutely no way for him to avoid the tickling or lessen the sensations, his laughter soon escalating as his weak spots were exploited. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! N-NOT THEREHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he yelled as they focused on his arches.

Ignoring his protests, Riku and Kairi leaned closer to his feet, their tongues joining in on the fray. While it was clear that the fork and feather were both fairly effective, the licking would only add to his torment. After all, they were trying to figure out which of them could tickle him better. Even Kairi, whom normally wasn't as competitive as Riku, was determined to make Sora lose his mind.

Sora was helpless as his friends wreaked havoc on his massive, sensitive feet. He could feel the prongs of the fork gently dragging all over the bottom of one foot while the stiff tip of the feather trailed along the other. The licking that he felt over his soles and toes made it all that much more intense.

Delighted by the sound of Sora's frantic laughter, Riku continued to tickle him with the fork. He was cautious as to not dig in too much, wanting to only inflict tickling and not discomfort. Like Kairi, he also picked up a faint whiff that reminded him of Paopu Fruit, much to his amusement. "Mmmm... Good to see that you're as ticklish as ever, Sora," he said with a snicker. "I guess nothing has changed since we were kids." He playfully nipped at the cushiony ball of Sora's foot, his teeth lightly scraping against him, as he focused the fork on the arch.

Kairi smiled, teasing the undersides of Sora's toes with the feather as she swirled the tip of her tongue over his arch. "I wish I'd found out sooner. Very mean of you guys to hide it from me for so long," she giggled. "Oh, well, better late than never..." She wasn't actually upset that it had been kept a secret from her, figuring that Sora had probably been rather embarrassed by his sensitivity and most likely instructed Riku to keep quiet about it.

"AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AAAHHH!" Sora couldn't form a coherent sentence, the tickling sending him into an absolute frenzy. His soles remained stretched taut, his efforts to somehow defend them fruitless. The sensations shooting through his feet were all he could focus on, more tears trickling down his face.

Not a single area on the brunet's feet was spared, the intricate toe bindings leaving plenty of access for both Riku and Kairi as they kept this up. It was difficult to tell which of their methods was affecting Sora more, since he seemed to go ballistic no matter what they did. Of course, their concentration was fixated on his sweet spots more than anything else, exploiting his arches and tormenting those bubbly toes of his.

It was a good thing that there was really no one else around to witness the ticklish assault that Sora was subjected to. His laughter and protests were quite loud, his pleas falling on deaf ears as his feet were ruthlessly tickled. With that in mind, he didn't want Kairi and Riku to stop, enjoying himself quite a bit. He couldn't remember the last time he'd had so much fun and didn't want it to end any time soon.

Riku and Kairi paid attention to Sora's reactions, occasionally pausing with the foot worship to tickle Sora with the tools that they brandished. Sora showed no signs of finding the fork or feather worse than the other, and they couldn't determine which affected him more. Riku's method was a bit faster than Kairi's, whom used a slower, more teasing approach.

"Sora, who's the better tickler?" Riku loudly asked so that Sora could hear over his own laughter. "Or which of these do you think works better? It's the fork, right?" As if to prove his point, he gently ran along the undersides of his toes with the prongs, using his free hand to skitter over the arch.

"I think it's the feather that's really getting to him," Kairi observed, sawing it on between his immobilized toes before resuming the licking to the center of his arch.

Sora shrieked, overwhelmed by the combination. "I-I DON'T KNOHOHOHOHOW! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" It was too difficult of a decision for him to make. "B-BOHOHOHOTH! THEY BOTH TICKLE!"

The tickling continued for a few minutes longer until Riku and Kairi agreed that their friend needed a break. Sora's red, tear-stained face showed just how much the assault had taken a toll on him, the teen gasping for air.

"Well, since he can't seem to make a decision, I think that we'll need to put him through another round of tickling," Riku stated.

"I think so, too. The fork and feather both seemed to work pretty well, so why don't we try something different?" Kairi suggested. "I'll test out these chopsticks."

The silver-haired boy nodded. "Not a bad choice. I'll give this paintbrush a shot and see how it works."

Sora didn't quite catch everything that they had said, too focused on trying to recover more than anything else. Yet once he'd calmed down, he noticed that each of them were now brandishing different tools. "Ah, I'm really in trouble now, huh?" he said in a joking manner. Part of him was a little nervous, but he was mostly curious as to how those new tools would feel against his feet. "If you're gonna be tickling these huge clown feet of mine, you'd better do it properly," he added with a chuckle.

"Hm, that sounds like a challenge," Riku replied. "I hope you're ready."

"Oh, and let us know if either of these tools work better than the other," Kairi added.

Sora swallowed hard as the paintbrush and chopsticks were brought close to his feet. Just by looking at them, they didn't seem too intimidating, but he also didn't want to underestimate his own sensitivity. After all, he had been giggling like a madman earlier when Kairi had simply been blowing on his feet. He could only imagine how the newest set of tickling tools would feel.

Riku was the first to make his move, dragging the paintbrush up the length of Sora's sole, starting at his heel. The bristles were fine and silky, perfect for the huge, sensitive foot before him. He grinned when he heard Sora break down in a fit of frantic chuckles. "Heh, I can already tell that this is gonna work great."

"Sure seems like it," Kairi agreed. "I want to see if these will do the job, too." She began to lightly poke at Sora's other foot, prodding at his arch and the plushy ball.

Sora let out a snort, his laughter mounting a bit. The methods were drastically different from one another, but both were already affecting him more than he'd expected. He writhed around as much as his sandy prison would allow him to, shocked at just how firmly Kairi had been able to pack him in. "Mmmpphhh! Mmmphehehehehe! Hahahahahahahaha!"

"Doesn't seem like he's laughing hard enough," Riku mused as he continued to sweep the paintbrush up and down. "What do you think, Kairi?"

"I think you're right," she smiled, playfully dragging the chopsticks along Sora's sole. "We should probably take things up a notch."

"Wait, what are you-AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Sora was unable to finish his sentence, erupting with loud, hysterical laughter all over again as his friends started lapping away at his feet once more. "NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" He tried to scrunch up his soles, as if he kept forgetting how securely they had been tied. The sensation of their tongues gliding along his feet was just as maddening as it had been the first time around, driving him crazy.

Riku enthusiastically lapped away at the soft sole, enjoying the fact that Sora's reaction had immediately spiked as a result. He was glad that Kairi had had the chance to worship Sora by herself, but he was even more thrilled about the two of them doing it at the same time. After all, two tongues were better than one, right? "Mmmm..." He continued to torment Sora's foot with the paintbrush while simultaneously licking every last spot that he could. The bristles dragged all over the large sole, sending the boy into a frenzy.

Kairi trailed the chopsticks in different directions against the bottom of Sora's other foot, her tongue lapping at the surrounding areas. She teasingly nibbled on his sole, giggling when he let out a startled help. It was amusing to observe the way he reacted each time she changed things up to throw him off. The saliva that began to coat his sole made it easy for her to move the eating utensils every which way, especially when she drew circles against his foot. She was just as eager as Riku when it came to worshipping the brunet, the two of them relishing the peals of nonstop laughter that Sora emitted.

Between the chopsticks, paintbrush, and the licking, Sora was losing his mind. He playfully protested, pleading for mercy that his friends wouldn't show him. Not that he really wanted them to. He could feel the silky bristles essentially painting along one sole, while the sticks poked, prodded, and skimmed over his other foot. The sensation of their tongues licking every which way, including his toes, made it quite the torturous treatment. Fresh tears streamed down his red face, his bright blue eyes tightly screwed shut as he laughed his head off. His feet remained entirely immobilized, his toes barely twitching in their intricate restraints.

Every so often, Riku and Kairi would ask Sora what tool he found more effective, or which of them was the more skillful tickler. They never received an answer from the brown-haired teen, most of his words incoherent whenever he tried to speak. Of course, Sora didn't know what to choose, finding it all unbearably ticklish no matter what. His friends refused to let up, though, determined to sway his opinion in their favor.

Eventually, the tickling came to a halt once more. Not only did Sora desperately need to catch his breath, but Riku and Kairi had started to grow tired of their respective tools. Considering that they had yet to yield an answer from Sora, it was best to move on.

"Guess we'll have to try harder, huh?" Riku remarked. "I figured that he'd have an answer for us by now, but apparently not."

Sora managed a chuckle, still breathing heavily as he tried to calm down. "Heh...sorry...it's hard...to decide..."

"It's fine, that just means we get to tickle you for even longer," Kairi gleefully pointed out.

It took Sora another minute to recover, the redness in his face subsiding a bit. "I don't know if I'll be able to choose between the two of you," he remarked with a grin.

"Well, we're not giving up just yet," the silver-haired teen replied. "There are still plenty more ways to torment you."

"Bring it on, I can handle it," Sora said confidently.

"I wouldn't get too cocky if I were you. These tools are definitely effective, so we'll just keep using them until you finally hit your breaking point," Riku stated with a bit of arrogance in his voice.

"Speaking of which, what should I try out next...?" Kairi mused as she eyed the selection of tickle tools that Riku had provided. "I think I'll go with...both of these." She picked up the paintbrush and fork that Riku had used earlier.

Sora gave a nervous laugh. "You mean...at the same time?"

"Sure, why not? There's no rule saying that it's not allowed," she beamed.

"If that's the case, I'll try these out, then." Riku grabbed the stiff feather and chopsticks, amused to see the slightly worried expression on Sora's face. "You haven't given us an answer yet, so maybe this time you will. And let's face it, if we were actual pirates, then we wouldn't think twice about being extra merciless."

The brunet chuckled. "You do have a point." The aspect of being tickled by four tools at once, with two on each foot, made Sora feel a little nervous. However, he was more curious than anything else, his trapped feet twitching with anticipation. "Ready whenever you two are."

"Ah, we're definitely ready. Brace yourself, Sora," Kairi smiled.

Sora did just that, and although he knew that it would tickle immensely, he had not expected the degree of overwhelming sensations that shot through his soles. He felt Kairi dragging the paintbrush up and down one foot, lightly skimming along his skin with the fork at the same time. Riku had started to stroke his other sole with the feather, poking and gently 'writing' on him with the chopsticks as well. "AAAHHHNOHOHAHAHAHAHA! W-WAIT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sora never even had a chance, breaking down into frantic laughter almost immediately.

"This is what you get for being so stubborn," Riku said. "If you'd given us an answer, then we wouldn't have needed to go this far."

"Well, there's a good chance that we would've regardless," Kairi added with a giggle.

Riku smirked as Sora writhed around as much as he could beneath the firmly packed sand. "Good thing your feet are plenty big enough for us to use extra tools on them."

Although both Riku and Kairi wanted to go back to worshipping those gorgeous soles, they decided to wait for now. The four tools seemed to suffice for the time being, and they planned to give his feet a proper licking once Sora deemed which of them was the better tickler.

Sora shrieked and laughed, the tickling sending him into an absolute frenzy. He could feel the fine bristles of the paintbrush, as well as the stiff tip of the feather trailing every which way. The eating utensils were quite effective as well, hitting his weak points without causing any discomfort. "AAAHAHAHAHAHAH! H-HOLD OHOHOHON! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

"But you've already made us wait long enough as is," Kairi kindly reminded him, tormenting his arch with the paintbrush while skimming at his toes with the fork.

"Yeah, so until you give us an answer, we're not going to go easy on you," Riku added. He sawed the feather sideways along the undersides of Sora's toes, drawing circles on his arch with the chopsticks.

Sora was at a loss though, unable to choose between the two. Both had their own methods, and he found them equally effective. There was no way for him to block out or lessen the sensations, his face bright red as tears of laughter streamed down his cheeks. To be fair, he himself had told them to make sure to give him a proper tickling, so he'd essentially brought this onto himself.

"We might have to keep you here all night at this rate," Kairi teased him.

"Yeah, so you'd better decide soon," Riku added.

Even if he did somehow make a decision, Sora had a feeling that they wouldn't let him out immediately. He could've easily just randomly picked one of them, but it wouldn't feel right to do it that way. Besides, his friends seemed to be getting plenty of gratification just by tormenting his trapped feet, and he doubted that they would care whom he picked as the 'winner'.

Sora bit his lip, struggling to keep his laughter at bay, at least for a few seconds. He managed to hold it for a whopping two seconds before breaking down all over again, the tickling simply much to intense for him to endure it. "AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! P-PLEASE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Please keep going? If that's what you want," Riku said nonchalantly, still tickling him with the chopsticks and feather.

"I can't tell who's enjoying this more," Kairi smiled. "Us...or you, Sora."

Over and over again, Riku and Kairi tickled and teased the brunet with their respective tools, targeting every last inch that his feet had to offer. His arches and toes were given the most attention, but his heels, insteps, and the balls of his feet were tickled plenty as well. His loud, hysterical laughter continued to pour out of him, his pleas and protests only compelling them to keep it up. The seconds ticked into minutes, yet the tickling didn't stop.

Riku was ruthless as he sawed the feather sideways against Sora's arch, prodding in between his toes with the chopsticks. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you were doing this on purpose," he said to Sora with a bit of a smirk. "You won't give us an answer because you want us to keep tickling you, I'll bet."

"I wouldn't put it past him, considering how much he likes being tickled," Kairi smiled as she gently dragged the fork up and down his upper sole. The paintbrush dusted along his immobilized toes, those soft bristles driving him utterly mad.

"AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I-I CAHAHAN'T DECIDE!" Sora desperately exclaimed, barely managing to get the words out. He really couldn't make a decision, finding Riku and Kairi equally skilled.

"Okay, okay, maybe we've done enough," Kairi giggled, ceasing the assault. "What do you think, Riku? Do you think Sora's had enough?"

Riku stopped the tickling as well, albeit a bit more reluctantly. "I guess. Can't really blame him if he can't make up his mind. Just means that we're both really good at torturing him."

Sora panted heavily, practically gasping for air as he tried to recover. The relentless tickling had simply taken a toll on him, leaving him in a rather windswept state.

"Are you okay?" Kairi inquired with a bit of concern.

"Y-yeah...I'm fine," he replied with a tired smile. "That was...really fun..."

Riku gave a brief snicker. "Well, don't pass out on us just yet. Maybe the competition is over, but we're not done with you. But don't worry, we'll at least give you a minute or two to calm down."

Sora wanted to ask him what he and Kairi were planning, but decided to take the moment to catch his breath while he still could. He would find out soon enough what they were scheming, though he should've already had it figured out. By the time he'd composed himself, both of his friends had brought their faces close to his naked soles. "Uh...what are you-OH!" He'd had a suspicion that they had intended to worship him, yet the sudden sensation of their tongues gliding along his feet had still caught him off guard. "AAAHHHH! MMMMMM! MMMMMPHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHE!" It tickled just as much as it had earlier, only this time, he didn't have to deal with any extra tools.

Kairi licked all over the middle of his sole, knowing exactly where to focus. If it was up to her, she'd worship the teenager all night long, though she knew that she couldn't just leave him buried for that long of a time. While she wasn't sure what his limit was, she was curious as to see how long he could handle this treatment. She didn't hold back as she serviced his foot, Riku in close proximity as he worked on the other sole.

In contrast to Kairi's more sensual motions, Riku was a bit more aggressive, moving faster than the girl. He was also trying to see how much Sora could potentially endure, ravishing that stretched-out sole to the greatest of his abilities. If nothing else, he wanted to make sure that Sora got a good tickling before he and Kairi finally released him.

Sora could feel Riku and Kairi enthusiastically lapping away at his soles, and even though they didn't implement anything else to tickle him with, it was still quite intense for him. It felt amazing though, reminding him of when Kairi had worshipped him earlier. Only this time, there were two tongues rather than one, doubling the maddening sensations. He laughed and tried to writhe around, the bindings around his toes ensuring that his feet remained nice and taut.

"Mmmm..." The auburn-haired girl smiled as she gleefully licked all over the large, silky sole before her. Her tongue glided every which way, from his heel, all the way up to his toes.

Riku was also quite pleased, enjoying Sora's hysterical laughter. He gently nipped at the ball of his foot, letting his teeth skim along the cushiony mound.

"AAAAHHH! MMMMPHEHEHEHEHEHE!" Sora screwed his eyes shut, struggling to endure the enjoyable yet highly ticklish sensations that shot through him. It wasn't long before fresh tears started to well up, a few of them spilling down his flushed cheeks. His toes twitched within their intricate confinements, leaving him at the mercy of his two friends.

Kairi and Riku kept this up, swirling and flicking at those soles with the tips of their tongues. They licked, nibbled, and sucked on his immobilized toes, able to get at his most sensitive spots despite the restraints around them. The sound of his helpless pleas and laughter only compelled them to keep it up, wanting to drive the brunet into a frenzy. Even if there hadn't been an actual 'winner', they were more than happy to simply have their way with his feet.

Sora had no idea how long his feet were worshipped for, having absolutely no concept of time. He didn't care, though, immensely enjoying his treatment. He couldn't stop smiling and laughing, the teen in much better spirits than he had been before. Saliva coated his soles and dripped down them, covering every last spot on his feet, and dripping in between his toes. "MMMM! AAHHH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He couldn't take it, yet couldn't get enough at the same time.

Eventually, Riku and Kairi pulled back, thoroughly satisfied. Each of them had indulged themselves with those gorgeous trapped feet, filled with a sense of gratification. It seemed that Sora had enjoyed it as much as they had, judging by that smile on his face even as he tried to catch his breath.

"Wow..." Sora gasped out, his eyes closed as he attempted to recover. He was at a loss for words, his face bright red as his mind raced with thoughts. This wasn't how he'd expected his evening to go, and it was better than anything he ever could've imagined.

"You okay?" Riku inquired, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Y-yeah...I'll live," Sora managed to respond.

Kairi beamed. "Was it good?"

He chuckled a bit. "I dunno, what do you think?"

Riku smirked. "You definitely look like you had a good time. You must really love being worshipped, huh?"

"Well, yeah, it feels nice," Sora replied with a grin. "And both of you are really good at it, so..." he trailed off, and would've blushed if his face wasn't already crimson. "You think you two could dig me out?"

"Mm, I don't know if I feel like it," the silver-haired teen mused.

"Don't feel like it, huh?" Sora snickered. "Kairi, what about you?"

Kairi pretended to think. "Hmm...I would be lying if I said that I did..."

"What, are you two just gonna keep me buried here all night?" Sora said with a laugh.

"Well, maybe not all night. But I was thinking that we could put your through just one more challenge," Riku remarked, pulling two fountain pens from his pants pocket.

"Huh? What kind of challenge?" Sora asked with confusion as Riku handed one of the pens to Kairi.

"Considering these huge feet of yours would make the perfect canvas, you can guess where we're going with this," he responded with a smirk.

Kairi beamed. "Oh, I like the sound of that."

"Hey, wait a minute! Where exactly are you going with this?" Sora inquired. "If it's a challenge for me, what exactly am I supposed to do?"

"It's simple," Riku said. "Kairi and I will write on your feet, and all you have to do is guess what it is that we're writing. Easy, huh?"

"Easy!?" The brunet couldn't help but laugh. "I don't know how easy it'll be for me to guess at something like that."

"You're right, it might be just a little too difficult for you," Kairi teased. "Maybe we shouldn't, since you might struggle with it."

Sora grinned. "Hey, now I didn't say that I couldn't do it. Just that it probably wouldn't be easy. So I'll take on this challenge of yours and accurately guess every single word that you write on my feet!"

Riku uncapped his pen. "Challenge accepted."

"Good luck, Sora," the girl giggled. "You're going to need it."

By the time the pens touched Sora's feet, the saliva that they had been covered in had mostly dried, thanks to the warm weather. He yelped when he felt them make contact with his soft soles, immediately breaking into a fit of chuckles. "Mmmmphehehhehehehe!"

"Make sure you concentrate," Riku reminded him as he moved the pen along the bottom of Sora's left foot. "Otherwise you won't be able to guess what we're writing."

"That's right, so be sure to pay attention, Sora," Kairi added, gently dragging her pen over the boy's right sole.

Biting his lip, Sora tried to focus on the direction that they were moving their pens along, the blue ink marking him. He honestly couldn't figure out what it was that either of them were writing. It was difficult to tell which letters they were forming, and the ticklish sensations that resulted from the pens also made it almost impossible to pay attention.

"Any guesses?" Kairi inquired.

"N-not yehehehet!" Sora stammered, trying to keep his wits together.

"Better figure it out soon," Riku advised him, drawing a dotted line along the smooth sole.

Kairi formed an "X" in the center of Sora's arch, casting a knowing glance at Riku as the two of them continued to 'write' on their friend's feet.

Sora couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it didn't feel exactly as though they were writing words. In a way, it felt as though they were doodling or forming random shapes along his taut soles, leaving the vibrant ink behind with each stroke of the pen. "Aaahhh! Mmmmphehehehehehe!" Despite his suspicions that they weren't actually writing words on his feet, he decided to try his hand at guessing regardless. "Hehehehehehehe! H-how about 'friends'?" he guessed.

"Wrong. Try again," Riku said, drawing an "X" on Sora's other arch.

"W-whahahat about 'beach?' Hehehehehehehehe!" Sora struggled not to lose all of his self-control, but the pens were slowly but surely driving him crazy. They tickled much more than he'd expected them to, though he admitted to himself that he should've figured as much.

Kairi shook her head. "Not quite. Any other guesses?"

"Mmmmphhh!" The brown-haired teen held back another laugh. "H-how about 'ocean'?"

"Try again," she replied with a smile.

It was becoming abundantly clear that Riku and Kairi weren't writing any actual words, but Sora could certainly tell that they were each drawing something on his feet. Nevertheless, he continued to call out different words, not wanting to admit that he had caught on to their little ruse. He did find it pretty fun, after all, so there was no harm in letting the challenge drag out a little. His laughter was getting harder to keep under control, the tips of the pens sending his nerves into a frenzy each time they moved along his bare skin. He was slowly but surely losing his mind as the seconds ticked by, the boy trying to writhe around under the mound of sand.

After a little while, Kairi and Riku had each drawn out maps on the teen's trapped feet, having marked them with dotted lines, an "X" on each of his arches, and other small doodles. It was quite amusing how Sora kept trying to guess what 'words' they had written, especially since they could tell that he had already figured things out. Nevertheless, it had been incredibly fun to inflict tickles by utilizing the pens that Riku had brought with him, leaving Sora a laughing mess by the time they were finished with him.

"Now that's a nice looking map you've got there," Riku complimented Kairi as he looked at the sole that she had been drawing on.

"Why, thank you," she responded with a smile. "Yours is also great! Seems like a very accurate depiction of where to find the treasure."

"Well, "X" marks the spot, right?" he said, poking at Sora's left arch with his pen again.

"Ahahaha! O-okay, no more!" Sora giggled, trying to calm down. "So you were drawing maps, huh?"

Kairi smirked slightly. "Oh, don't pretend like you hadn't already figured it out."

"Just goes to show how much he actually likes being tickled," Riku smugly pointed out.

Sora couldn't help but grinned. "I guess there's no hiding it, huh? I'm assuming that now that you're both done with your art session, you're going to dig me out, right?"

"Well, not so fast," Riku said. "Your feet are a mess, so it wouldn't be right if we didn't do something about that."

"Huh? What are you talking about-" Sora had opened his eyes and was shocked to see a large canteen of water, soap, and some scrubbing brushes. "Wait, where did all of that come from!?" Seriously, were Riku's pockets connected to another dimension, or something? It was almost as if he had forgotten that this had all been schemed up ahead of time, and Riku had been sure to come prepared.

Kairi giggled. "Ah, no need to worry about those little details. But your feet have been through quite a bit."

He chuckled nervously. "Yeah, but...what are those for?"

"Do we really need to spell it out for you?" Riku said as he quirked an eyebrow. "Your feet are covered in ink, so we're gonna do something about that. Don't worry, it shouldn't be too bad. Simple and clean."

"Wait a second-Aahhh!" Sora yelped when they doused a little of the water over his feet, startled by it. He then watched as they soaped up the brushes a bit, his heart skipping a beat.

"Uh, you're gonna go easy on me, right?" he quipped with a smile.

"Nope," the silver-haired boy replied bluntly.

Before Sora could say anything else, he jolted with a yell as his friends began to scrub at his bare soles with the brushes, immediately bursting into loud, uncontrollable laughter all over again. "AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! N-NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! K-KAIRI! RIKUHUHUHAHAHAHAHAHA! WAIT!"

"Why wait? Look how late it's getting," Kairi observed. "We need to get you clean."

The bristles were stiffer than those of the paintbrush, but were still soft enough where even fast, vigorous scrubbing yielded only ticklish sensations. They shot through Sora's taut soles, his trapped form shaking with laughter as the brushes ran up and down. Other than the licking, this seemed to be the most effective method that had been used thus far. It was absolutely maddening for the brunet, finding it incredibly difficult to endure as they thoroughly cleaned the ink off of his feet.

"Looks like we used plenty of soap," Riku murmured, noticing how Sora's feet were covered in suds, lathering his friend's sole to make sure every last part was targeted.

"I think so, too," Kairi agreed, delighted by Sora's reactions. "He'll be squeaky clean by the time we're finished with him."

Sora screamed at and laughed, unable to form a coherent sentence, much less a thought. All he could focus on was the unbearable tickling, his eyes tightly clenched shut. His feet twitched with desperation as the brushes were dragged every which way, cleaning off any saliva or sweat. It was beyond torturous, sending him into a frenzy as the bristles scrubbed against his skin, his sensitivity at peak levels due to all of the attention that they had been showered with. He couldn't help but try to pull his legs back, but the sand was too heavy for him to move. His feet remained as exposed as ever, giving plenty of access to his playful companions.

An amused smile remained on Riku's lips as he ran the brush in a circular motion, focusing on the center of Sora's arch again. He knew just how much that one spot drove Sora insane, so of course he had to target there. It seemed that Kairi had the same thought, as she was focused on the other arch. Although she didn't move it around as fast as Riku did, the slower technique was just as unbearable for the trapped teen.

"HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! P-PLEASEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Sora begged, though he wasn't sure what exactly he was pleading for. It wasn't as if he actually wanted them to stop, but it also seemed beyond the scope of what he was capable of handling. The fact that he'd already been tickled for quite some time beforehand only cemented that point. He was reaching his limit, his nerves working in overdrive as the bristles continued to clean him off. The bindings didn't seem to offer any sort of protection, and he shrieked when his friends began to focus on his toes. The plump pads were thoroughly tormented by the brushes, the sheer size of them allowing Riku and Kairi to tickle all five toes on each foot at the same time.

The next few minutes felt much longer to Sora as he was scrubbed clean, tears of laughter streaming down his face in rivulets. He couldn't articulate any words, consumed by his own laughter as they gradually chipped away at his sanity. He weakly writhed around underneath the sand, finding it increasingly difficult to breathe as this kept up.

"Now we just gotta rinse off the excess soap," Riku remarked, both he and Kairi pausing for a moment to drizzle more water onto Sora's feet to clear away the suds.

Of course, even once all of the soap had been removed from his feet, Kairi and Riku weren't quite ready to stop. They teased their hysterical friend, commenting on his sensitivity even as he was reduced to silent laughter, his body starting to shut down. He couldn't take much more of this, knowing that he was about to reach his limit. Even still, he only felt happiness, grateful for the fun that he had experienced. It was something that he'd never forget.

He had no idea how long this was going to last. The torment, as enjoyable as it was, really was taking a toll on the thoroughly trapped teenager. He was starting to feel more and more lightheaded, his vision growing blurry around the corners, his hearing becoming fuzzier by the second, until...

Finally, utterly overwhelmed by the nonstop onslaught of ticklish sensations, Sora passed out right then and there, his head lolling back onto the white tropical sand.

It wasn't long before he began to come to, the feeling of his feet being rubbed slowly bringing him to his senses. "Mmmm..." Opening his eyes, Sora could see that his friends had dug him out, freeing him from his sandy prison. His toes had been released from their complicated restraints, with Kairi and Riku each massaging his soles. It felt amazing as their fingers gently kneaded his tired feet, their touches soothing the teenager as he lay there with a smile on his face.

"Uh..." he began, but he was interrupted as the other two looked up with sudden expressions of utmost terror, and both immediately and simultaneously started frantically apologizing, talking over each other so much that he could barely hear them.

"Whoa whoa, slow down!" Sora laughed, his now twine-free toes spreading a little as Kairi squeezed particularly hard. "What are you two trying to say?"

The others looked at each other, and then hung their heads in shame.

"Sorry about that, Sora," Kairi said apologetically. "I think we might've gone a little overboard..."

"Yeah, maybe just a little," Riku said with a chuckle. "Sorry, Sora."

Enjoying the way the two of them worked together to put him in such a blissful relaxed state, Sora grinned at them. "Oh, don't worry about it. It was really fun! You were both pretty ruthless, and I honestly can't say for sure who I think did a better job tickling me. I feel the combination was the reason why I wound up passing out," he added with a chuckle. "Ahhh, that's nice...hehehehe!" He couldn't help but giggle, considering how unbearably sensitive his feet were, but he was certainly content with the treatment that they were giving him.

"We really weren't expecting you to pass out," Kairi told him. "So, again, we're sorry."

"It's fine, it's fine," Sora replied. "Just means that both of you are really good at tickling!"

"Too bad we don't know who's better," Riku smirked. "We'll have to try it again sometime. Think you'll let us? Or do things need to get a bit more serious between us before you'll allow it?" he added in a joking manner.

"Actually..." Sora trailed off for a moment, then gave a sheepish chuckle. "I really like the both of you, and would love it if we became even closer. With that being said...what do you two think of trying out a three-way dating arrangement?"

"Three-way dating, huh?" Kairi blushed at the thought. "I-I'm not against the idea..."

Riku snickered. "Sounds interesting. I'm in. I mean...we already have a lot of fun together, so I wanna see what happens when we take things a step further."

The brunet beamed. "I'm glad that you both like the proposal. I've been thinking about for a little while and...mmm..." Sora was momentarily distracted as they continued to massage his feet, his toes curling with delight as they rubbed along his arches and the balls of his feet. "And...what was I saying?"

"Hey, Sora...are you okay, by the way?" Kairi inquired with concern. "I know that you were feeling sad earlier, and I was wondering if you felt any better."

"Huh? Is something wrong?" Riku inquired.

"Ah, I was just in a bit of a slump earlier. I'm still a little sad that Donald and Goofy aren't around right now, but I know that I'll get to see them again sometime. And as long as I have you two by my side, that's all I can really ask for," Sora smiled.

The auburn-haired girl beamed. "Just remember that you can talk to us about anything. We're here for you."

"Yup, especially now more than ever, considering that we're all kinda dating," Riku quipped, then grew a bit more serious. "So next time you're feeling in a slump, just talk to us and we can help you through it. If talking doesn't help, then we'll drag you to go get some sea salt ice cream. And then force you to eat it until you're in a better mood."

"Thanks, you two are the best," Sora grinned. "I definitely feel better after being tickled silly like that, so I'll gladly let you both wreck me good in the future. All you guys have to do is ask!"

The other two nodded, smiling warmly, as they continued to massage his bare feet. It was such a relief to hear how open he was to additional sessions like this in the future.

"Oh, I just remembered!" Sora said suddenly.

"Huh? What?" Kairi raised an eyebrow.

"The game still isn't done yet, is it?"

"Uh..."

"No, he's right," Riku interjected, his eyes widening. "Oh, please tell me you aren't thinking what I think you are..."

"Ah, well, you'll still need to dig me outta here first," Sora replied with a sheepish laugh. "But after that... well, you know..."


~Approximately ten minutes later...~


"I should've known," Kairi pouted, wiggling her bare feet uselessly. "It's our turn, isn't it?"

"What the heck? Sora, I thought I was just assisting here!" Riku protested, his toes curling. "You're not really gonna drag me into this, are you?!"

"Well, your 'assistance' included tickling me to an inch of my life, so fair's fair," Sora replied with a wink.

"Ohhhh..." Riku let his head roll back, sighing in utter defeat.

Indeed, Sora had, though not without some difficulty, buried his two friends up to their necks and ankles in the same way as Kairi had done to him earlier.

Their feet stuck out, their shoes and socks having been removed by Sora and set aside. Although neither of them were anywhere close to the brunet's size, they both had quite large feet themselves. Kairi's were a size 18, her pale skin smooth and flawless, practically begging to be touched. Riku's were actually the smallest of the three at "only" size 13, but his soles looked just as soft and pristine as Kairi's. There was no telling how sensitive either of them were, and Sora was determined to find out for himself. So now it was the turn of the other two to experience what it felt like to be stuck in the sand, all four feet exposed and completely at their tickler's mercy.

"I may not be good with tying your toes up, but I'll worry about that later." Sora cracked his knuckles with a mischievous grin. "I hope you two are ready, because I'm gonna exact a revenge worthy of a pirate!"

"Wait! Please, don't!" Kairi pleaded as she started to panic.

Riku looked equally anxious as Kairi. "Come on, do we really have to do this?"

However, despite the two of them begging with Sora, they realized how excited they were for him to start, much to their own surprise.

With that, Sora started his assault, his right hand scribbling all over Riku's soles, while his left focused on Kairi's. A smirk of smug satisfaction crossed his face when they both burst into frantic laughter, glad to see that he wasn't the only one that was ticklish. His fingers danced all over the beautiful feet before him, seeking out any potential weak spots that Riku and Kairi might have.

"AAAAHHHHH! NOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Kairi started shrieking at the top of her lungs, powerless to escape even if she was already starting to enjoy the maddening sensation. "S-SORA PLEASEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

"AAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH! W-WAIT!" Riku had started laughing as well, his soft, left sole, feeling the full brunt of Sora's tickling fingers. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

"Coochie coo, you two!" Sora teased, the laughter of his two closest friends sounding like music to his ears. "You should've known that I'd get you back for making me almost lose my mind. Now, let's see if either of you can get as good as you give!"

"PLEASENOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!"

"SORAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! S-STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!"

Helpless and unable to do anything but take it, Kairi and Riku were nevertheless surprised to find that they were both enjoying Sora's retaliation more than they'd expected. His right hand was scribbling all over Riku's left foot, while his left focused on Kairi's right. He chuckled to himself when they both continued letting out peal after peal of frantic laughter, glad to see that he wasn't the only one that was ticklish. His fingers danced all over the beautiful feet before him, seeking out any potential weak spots that Riku and Kairi might have.

Sora was over the moon. He would never forget Donald and Goofy, but he had great friends right here on Destiny Island, too, willing to help him when he needed them. He just couldn't wait for more tickle sessions between the three in the future, as he was certain there would be plenty.

Riku writhed around as much as he could, the sand keeping him from moving around very much as he was forced to laugh his head off. Despite his protests, however, the silver-haired teen was immensely enjoying his treatment, eager to see just how skilled Sora truly was. After all, the two of them were highly competitive when it came to each other, so Riku wanted to find out which of them was the superior tormentor. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to cope with the unbearable tickling. He should've known he would eventually get some payback for all the times he'd tickled Sora! He'd know better than to underestimate his spiky-haired boyfriend in the future, but he also welcomed the challenge. Of course, next time he came for him, he'd have to remember to watch his back. For now, though, their relationship upgrade was more than enough compensation in its own right.

And as for Kairi? Well, suffice to say, she'd had quite the experience today. It had been so much fun having her closest friend's bare feet all to herself, but Riku joining in had made it all even better, despite the retribution they both were doomed to be subjected to for the rest of the evening, the beautiful sunset lighting the ocean behind them like the warmth of a celebratory bonfire. Even if there was nothing poor Kairi could do now except laugh her lovely head off, just like Riku beside her, she honestly didn't mind doing exactly that. They'd brought this on themselves, they all knew that much, but it had been absolutely worth the chance to have all the ticklish fun they could ever dream of with Sora's stupendous, scrumptious soles!
