The Disappearance

000 - Prologue

Lightning cracks the night sky of Hollow Bastion.

"Mori, it's going to rain! Come back!" screams an eight year-old Kairi. Suddenly, water comes pouring from the sky like it had been for two long months.

"Please! Don't go!" she screams to a girl walking further and further away. The girl was soaked through; her wet red hair blew in the unexpected gust of wind. She braced herself. The moonlight gave her features and eerie glow.

She turned and smiled at Kairi, "I'll be back soon, sis…." Her voice called over the storm. With that she turned her heel and walked into the night, never to be seen again…….until now.

001 – The Confrontation

Five years later

It was night on Destiny Islands and the waves were hitting the sand, foreseeing a storm. She walked on the damp sand, leaving a trail of footprints. She stops at a doorway, blue eyes filled with curiosity, red hair pulled into a long pony-tail. She stepped through the doorway, "Hello Kairi…"

Kairi looked up from her book, her eyes grew wide, startled she whispered, "Mori, is that you?" she nodded in response, it had been six long years since they had seen each other, but she had other business to attend to.

"I need to see Sora", she stated flatly.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing" she said and she left.

"Wait! What's going on? Maybe I can help you!" Kairi cried after her older sister.

Mori stopped in her tracks; she looked up to the stars and said, "In time you'll know, and at that time you can help me, but for now, stay here, where you belong…." She looked down and scratched her head, "Then you'll help me find him…"

"Are you going to leave again…?"
"Possibly"

"Please don't…"

"Then I promise I won't" Mori replied with a smile and she walked away.

She was tired, very tired. She had been walking for who knows how long. The sudden darkness engulfed her. She was falling, eyes closed but she knew she was falling. Splash!

"Hey! Hey!" Mori was shaken awake by someone. She gasped for air, eyes opening wide. She took in the sight when her eyes became adjusted to the light. A picture of three kids hung on the wall of the small room; a table with two chairs, bookshelf, a chair next to the bed with wet clothes hanging on it, and a couch were also seen. She looked to her right and squinted. She was gazing out of an open window; a slight breeze brought the scent of ocean water into the room. She looked past the dirt road that led from the house to the beach. On the white sands she saw to figures sitting next to each other. One lying on the sand propped up by her elbows; the other had her arms wrapped around her knees, both wearing a uniform made up of a white collared shirt and royal blue skirts.

She turned around to see someone staring wide-eyed at her. "Ahh!" she screamed stumbling backwards on the bed.

"Well now that you're awake, you want to get out of this stuffy room!" the person cried. She looked up to see a boy with the same colored uniform but his shirt was undone revealing a black undershirt. His hair was a messy, spiky blonde. Mori gave him a puzzled look.

He smiled, "Tidus" he said, "Kairi's friend." She shook his hand, "Mori."

--------------------------

"Hey Kairi!" Tidus hollered as they made their way down the paved dirt road to the beach. Two girls turned around to see who was coming towards them. Kairi smiled, "Tidus! What took you so long? Selphie and I have been waiting!" He shrugged. When they got to the beach Kairi grabbed Mori's hand and dragged to Selphie. "Selphie, this is my older sister Mori!" she bragged. Selphie smiled and was returned with Mori rolling her eyes.

The four kids laid on the beach, soaking in the remainder of the day's warmth. As the day stretched on the group became smaller and smaller, four, three, two, one. Mori stayed on the beach. She wanted to see the sunset on her first day on the islands. She laid back and thought about her first day with her sister in five years. It sucked, she thought.

The sun went lower and lower till there was only a sliver of light from the sun. Mori sighed and got up, dusting the dirt off her pants. Through the corner of her eye she saw something shift. She turned around only to see shadows. I just need more sleep, that's all…there is nothing there, your just tired, she thought.

That night she couldn't sleep well. Her night was as restless as her life before she arrived on Destiny Islands. Her dreams seemed as real as life it self. She saw a girl in black; her eyes, a piercing blue; she controlled ice. She saw two boys. One controls fire; spiky blazing red hair falling lazily onto his shoulders with green eyes clashing perfectly. The other was the chosen one, the one who the key chose. They seemed familiar to her, but in what way?

A couple days later.

She got up and opened her window, breathing the fresh air of a new day. She knew that Kairi would freak at her for leaving so early without her, so she climbed out the window. Down the vine she went as the smell of sea salt filled her nostrils. "Ahhh…." She sighed when she sunk into the sand, letting the waves tickle her toes. She smiled, Kairi should be freaking out about right now…, she thought.

"Mori? Time for… breakfast…,"when Kairi reach her room she saw the window open and he bed empty. She dropped the trey she was carrying and ran down the stairs and out the door. Tears welled up in her eyes; she couldn't have, she promised!
