Prologue-
She felt her hand slipping, in a few more seconds, she'd lose it completely. Tears were welling in her eyes as Sora gazed into her eyes and whispered
"Kairi, remember what you said, I'm always with you too." She nodded; he was slipping further and further away.
"I'll come back to you I promise!" he cried out to her, and as they separated, she cried out
"I know you will!" Slowly he disappeared into the mist, still wearing that silly grin. Tears fell from her eyes, as she knelt in the sand, crying out for Sora, for Riku, for all of them.
End Prologue.
Chapter One-Cry
Two years later…
Kairi had grown up a lot during the two years since Ansem' s defeat, and her farewell to Sora. She was taller, and more symmetrical, her auburn hair had darkened and fell a little past her elbows. She was small bosomed, but pretty all the same. Her skin was as white as cream, despite the sun she got, and she had the clear complexion every girl wanted, with soft, red lips. The only things that remained the same were her indigo-purple blue eyes. It was the anniversary of Sora's disappearance and the loss of Riku. Cradling a bundle of wildflowers, of dark blue, and purple in her arms, she stood barefooted on the white sand of the beach, gazing out into the green-blue waters. Gently she set the flowers into the ocean and watched as the floated away towards some unknown destination. Not far from the beach, sitting under a palm tree was Selfie. Selfie had grown up too, she was tall, darkly tanned, and big bosomed. But her eyes were still the same old green, her dress the same old yellow, and her hair the same old brown with the same style she'd had two years ago. She had exchanged her sandals for boots, and her jumprope for a set of numchucks. She sat not far away now, staring at the brokenhearted friend of hers on the beach. It hurt to see Kairi suffering like that, but there was nothing she could do sadly. She sighed, lifting herself off the ground and approached her friend. Kairi didn't hear her coming, until she was directly behind her and said in her high voice
"Hiya Kairi!" She whirled around, pulling out the bamboo staff Wakka had given her for her birthday. Selfie jumped back, narrowly missing getting hit in the face and raising her hands in front of her face she said
"Woah, easy Kairi it's only me Selfie, the girl you've been friends with for eleven years?" Sighing she lowered her staff and said
"Sorry Selfie, you just startled me that's all." Nodding in understanding Selfie
"Hey it's cool, it's good to see you know how to defend yourself, but really there aren't anymore Heartless left, so you really don't have to worry." Kairi's head snapped up at this, her eyes flashing dangerously. Everyone on the island could tell when Kairi was angry, for her eyes would change from purple-blue, to a bright shade of straight purple. Selfie jumped back another foot or so at the look on her friend's face, as Kairi snarled
"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! HOW DO YOU KNOW THE HEARTLESS ARE GONE? FOR ALL YOU KNOW THAT'S WHY SORA STAYED AND RIKU…" she stopped, tears brimming in her eyes, that were slowly turning back to normal. She collapsed on the and choked out
"I'm…sorry…Selfie…it's…just…that…" she lost control of herself and broke down into hysterical sobs. Selfie crouched down besides her, wrapping her arms around her friend. Kairi cried, cried for the boy who loved her, and never said, and for the boy with the Keyblade, who'd broken his promise. In the folds of yellow fabric she whispered
"Sora, why didn't you save Riku? Why didn't you come back?"

Sora leaned against one of the stone pillars in King Mickey's castle. He didn't look any different than he had two years ago, except he was a little taller, and he wore a black and red outfit, after he outgrew the others. The Keyblade was by his side, and Kairi's charm hooked on his belt. Kairi, it hurt to think about her. He'd promised he'd come back to her, but he hadn't fulfilled that yet. He was too busy looking for that damn door to the light. He whirled around and kicked the pillar. His rage nearly overflowed from him. Why did he have to the stupid Keyblade master, surely there were others suited for the job, why him? All he wanted to explore others worlds with his best friends Riku and Kairi. And where were they now. Riku had disappeared, probably died, he thought sadly. Kairi was back on the island, but because the worlds were separated he couldn't go back to them in his gummi ship. He kicked the pillar again, this time cracking it.
"TO HELL WITH THIS SHIT!" he screamed. He slammed his fists against the pillars, before breaking down into uncontrollable sobs. He collapsed to the floors, whimpering
"Riku, why'd you go. We were partners, best buddies. Why you? Why couldn't it have been me instead? Why am I still here? WHY THE HELL AM I STILL HERE!" He jumped to his feet and started beating on the pillar for his worth. It wasn't long before it fell into nothing more than rubble at his feet. He shrieked in rage and fell to the floor beating his fists against the marble. And he cried for the girl he loved, and would never see again, and for his best friend who he failed to save from the darkness. On the floor of the castle he whispered
"Riku, Kairi, I'm so sorry."
******
The rain beat him down mercilessly; his white hair had grown out since two years had passed. His eyes were the same green-blue and his still had the same build. He was taller and dressed in total black. His mind drifted to the mistakes he made in his lifetime. He thought about his best friend Sora, who'd he'd known since they were babies. He sighed, all because he'd believed that lying bitch Maleficent. He had made both Kairi and Sora suffer. They thought he was dead, probably. Not that he was very much alive after all he'd been through. His thoughts wandered over Kairi, and Sora. He sighed; he hated this life he'd made for himself. Rain beat him down continually, trying but not succeeding to seep through his raincoat. Tears flowed down his ice-cold cheeks, burning his flesh, but he didn't care. He cried, for the girl he loved, and for the boy who'd he'd betrayed.
"I'm sorry" he whispered.
End Chapter One.
A/N: Depressing, yes. But this is how I figured it would be like for the three of them, after being separated for a long period of time, which they are as I have heard according to the rumors. Don't worry it'll get better in the later chapters and a little more upbeat. Never fear. So R&R and tell me what you think.
