Never Forgotten

by Tayannscar

Sora and Riku are back at Destiny Island, and Kairi hopes they are back for good. But she can't help the uninvited dreams that keep her reckless throughout the night. On top of that, her best friend, Sora isn't telling her waht's on his mind. Will Kairi finally get the courage to ask Sora what his problem is? Or will she just keep falling harder for her warrior of the Darkness?

1. Longing

Something I thought I knew the feeling of. No, I could never really know the feeling of longing, ever. Not after my two best friends went to fight off Darkness and left me here, on our island alone. Longing is a year of waiting. A year of wondering if they were even alive. Longing is the jabbing pain you feel in your chest, a pain that knocks the breath out of you and brings tears to your eyes. Longing is crying yourself to sleep at night wondering if they will make it, if that promise is enough to save them./div
