Chapter 1Three Of The Longest Years
The breeze was cool against her tears, which she didn't admit to herself why they were there. She tried not to pay attention, but his memories were overwhelming her. Why isn't he back yet? She asked herself. It was three years ago today, that fateful night that she last saw him.
"Kairi…do you remember what you said to me? I want you to know I'm always there for you to… I'll come back to you I promise" she looked him strait into his handsome eyes and said with confidence "I know you will".
It wasn't only today that she thought of him, she thought of him everyday, but she wasn't ready to admit it though. She still didn't fully understand her feelings, but she sure wasn't ready to call it love. "Why am I worried about him so much? He'll be fine" she tried to reassure herself. "Besides the ocean just looks so beautiful today" yea, like Sora's eyes she thought to herself. "Whoa were did that come from" she said out loud, which scared off a little sand piper who was looking for his dinner. She stood up, and was just a little weak at the knees, wow had she been sitting there that long and started walking to the "secret place" which was where Sora and her had played as kids. "Ha, there you" are she said, after walking quite a ways to the "secret place" (I know I keep saying that, but it gets new meaning later) she found their drawings of each other and noticed something new. "Oh" she said as she gave a whimper, she saw that Sora had added him giving her a poupu fruit. This time there was no use trying to hold back her tears, or her feelings, she really did love him, and she couldn't help not missing him so much. "Sora, where are you?" she whimpered quietly. She wanted her man back, and she just couldn't wait any longer for him. She felt quite alone without him, and she felt her life was just not worth while. For ten minutes she sat there drawing herself giving him a poupu fruit. She got up after awhile, and remembered back to the legend, If you share a poupu fruit with the one you love then your destinies will be intertwined forever. She brushed off the sand from her skirt and started walking home. The stars were out, they twinkled like his eyes. She couldn't help but to laugh at how cheesy her thoughts sounded, My God does everything remind me of his eyes, she thought. She got home, and pulled off her sandy, dirty clothes. "well another anniversary gone-bye" she huffed as she stepped into the shower. The water was burning hot, but it felt a little good, on her sore and achy body. That night she dreamt about him again.
