--A Normal-y Day--
Hi everyone! ^_^ *waves* This is the part where I blab before the story. First I'll take care of the legal stuff so I don't get suu-ed.
DISCLAIMER!! --- I OWN NOTHING OF KINGDOM HEARTS!--- NOTHING! There..I said it. Geez. Take away everything from me, why don't you. By the way, you guys can call me Rip. *shakes hands*
This story was inspired by the song from Emma Bunton - 'Take My Breath Away '.
*Kairi* You're talking too much, Rip... ._.

Kairi gave her scarf one final tug before inspecting it in the mirror. "Perfect..! Kinda..." She chimed happily as she tilted her head, noticing that the silky scarf with red and white horizontal stripes was crooked. It all ways took her a few extra minutes to get that dang thing just right. While the little red head un-did the whole thing around her neck, a milk- warm breeze flowed into her small room. The expression on her face softned..it was so peaceful, and today was just plain beautiful--unlike the previous days on Destiny Islands where it had been too hot to move.
"ACK--!! OW!!!" Sora's voice outside shattered Kairi's tranquil state and caused her to tumble back.
"Sora--!" Kairi called out and leaned far over her window seal to see what the heck was going on. Her once concerned expression turned to an annoyed one. "You two! What the heck are you doing, scaring me like that!?" Once again Riku and Sora were duking it out. No matter where they were, they'd all ways find time to beat each other with sticks. -_-
"Sorry..?" The two boys replied at the same time (like usual) as if they had no idea what she was talking about. They shuffled...looked around... "Mmmm..." The clock behind Kairi flashed 3:10, "Oh no!! I'm gonna be late...!" Gasped Kairi as she stood straight up, bonking her head on the side of her house while trying to go back into her room. "Ow..dang it.." She could have sworn she heard those two pests giggle at her... In a few seconds the door opened and out ran Kairi; she was clutching her bonked head and closing one eye from the pain. It really did hurt...
"Bye guys!" Kairi waved to Riku and Sora. "Uh...!" She froze and turned around. "I forgot my scarf....! That's the ultimate important part of my uniform!!!" Everyone and everything dived out of the girl's way as she stampeded towards her house, leaving a monster of a dust cloud behind her. "Waaaaaaaaaaah....!"
***
Yup. Today was beautiful....but that didn't help the fact that Kairi was late for her job. It was a small little thing she took up to pass the time and earn some money for..well..Sora's birthday was coming up..and she wanted to get him something nice.
The knick-knack store she worked at was a cramped, narrow place with limited spacing due to all of the cases and shelves everywhere--but it was nice. "I love it here.." Kairi thought casually as she threw some little green pellets at the store keeper's yellow bird. Everyone thought it looked like a Paupou, with its coloring and all. It even had a green little bushel of feathers on the top of its head. That just sealed the deal and so everyone in her group of friends just calls it 'Paupou'.
"But what's your real name?" Kairi sweetly coaxed the yellow bird to say his name. Paupou just stared with his round shiny black eyes. "......"
"Come on, what's your name?"
"..ah.."
"Mm-hm..? Your name..?"
"..aah.."
"Go on little birdy..! Cute birdy! What's your name?"
"AAAAACKK!!!!!"
Kairi tipped over and fell to the floor with 'x' eyes. "Uuuuhh...."
The store bell ringed as the front door opened; Outside light poured into the dusty old shop, casting away all the shadows. "The sun is so warm today.." A tired old voice commented. The owner, Ms.Biggs, seemed to be as antique as the items she sold. "Yeah. It's great.." Kairi nodded and slowly sat up, rubbing her ears. It was a miracle she could her at all after that assault!
Ms.Biggs smiled her old smile and plodded over to her dearest pet's cage. The old woman's hands opened the creaky cage door and gave the yellow bird a rough ruffle to his feathers. "Did Wedge give you a scare, Kairi? I'm sorry...he's been cranky ever since I changed his food to those green pellets." Ms.Biggs turned away from her pet and made her way to the front desk. "I got a very nice deal today from a traveling salesman.." Her voice trailed off and she paused to catch her breath. Kairi frowned slightly.
She could tell that Ms.Biggs' age was getting the best of her. But knowing the old lady, she'd deny it and pretend she was 20 years old again.
"Anyways.." The creaky old voice started again and snapped Kairi back to reality, "It was a nice item..a very nice item. Come here Kairi. Let's look at what I got. Then you can store it away someplace nice on the shelves." The wood basket that Ms.Biggs carried around was placed on top of a pile of dusty papers. "A nice item." She said again. It was known that the old lady repeated what she said...a lot.
Out of habit, Kairi went to tug at her silky scarf and realized it was once again crooked. Dang it. The thick purple cloth that covered the contents of the basket was lifted by a shaky old hand and set aside.
Inside was a pillow, the same color as the cloth..and on top of that pillow were two small clocks-one silver, one gold, there was a delicate chain necklace with bits of amethyst skillfully carved into all sorts of unique shapes- and then there was something else. Ms.Biggs lifted a star up and held it in the palm of her hand.
"See Kairi..? Look how nice this is." The kind old woman smiled. "It reminds me of something..all though I forgot what.." Kairi watched the star. It looked like it was made of paper, but when Ms.Biggs gave it to her to hold, it turned out to be a lot heavier than she expected. "It's really pretty..." Kairi said with sincere honest as she tilted it around, looking at it in every angle.
"The traveling salesman said that it's called 'Oath Keeper'..what a nice thing, isn't it?" Ms.Biggs smiled and turned around. Kairi glanced at the old lady for a second and watched her hobble away to rest; recently she would all ways leave Kairi to do inventory and re-stocking...not to mention the cleaning. "Oath Keeper..." Kairi repeated the words, trying them out for herself. A silence fell over the store while she stared at the star. Was that a face someone had drawn on it..? "It makes me feel safe.." Kairi mumbled happily underneath her breath.
"Oath Keeper."
