Chapter I – Sunrise

The sun poured through the curtains. Sending a ray of light across the room and over to a bed, which was on the far end of the room. And laying in that bed led a girl. The girl twitched as the sun shone brightly on her face. She rolled over in a pathetic attempted to block out the sun. But...living on an island where the sun always seemed to shine made this impossible to accomplish. After much groaning and moaning the girl rolled out of bed and walked over to the window.

I will pause here brifily to describe this young lady. She was 13, she was a slender, tall and very pretty. She had beautiful aurbon hair that went down to her bossum and sky blue eyes. She had a silk like tone to her voice but that slikyness could easily disappear when she got angry or mad. She was dressed in a nightgown, complete with slippers.

She grumbled as she closed the curtains. And the sun was blocked out, darking her room once more. She gave a sigh of relief and crawled back into bed. Her room was pretty ordinary. Simple and thats how she liked it. She had just got comfortable and was just about to go to sleep...

"MIKO! Get up now!"

The girl, Miko, Miko Gemstone by name, eyes opened wide in surprise. She sat up quickly- a bit too quickly and this resulted in her banging her head on a over hanging lamp.

"Ow!" Miko cringed as she sat there, then slowly lend down again. She was not a morning person.

Miko's mother barged into her room, not even bothering to knock, "Miko, I asked you to get up"

"But I don't want to..." mumbled Miko, drowsily

"But you promised Sora you'd be at the island today, that's all"

Miko opened her eyes quickly "What!" and with that she jumped out of bed, still in her night clothes and ran down the stairs. Miko's mother sighed, even since they had moved to the island Miko had been close to a boy called Sora. In fact he was the first person who showed her around the island. It had become obvious that over time Miko had grown fond of Sora...very fond of him.

"Miko, at lest get dressed before you go outside"

Miko, who was in her hallway getting her trainers on, stopped and looked in the hallway mirror. She looked a mess. With a deep, some what embarrassed sigh, she went upstairs and got changed


It seemed like forever until Miko was able to get out her house. She was now wearing a light blue and green dress and was wearing trainers. She pushed her hair out of her face and gazed at the Island she had spent most of her happy life playing on...Destiny Island

Miko sighed as she walked along the beach "Wonder if Sora's gonna be mad with me, he usually is if I don't show up when he asks me to"

It was odd but she thought that there was something important that she was going to do today. But she couldn't remember what it was...?

"No, this huge black thing swallowed me up! I could breath, I couldn't!--"

Miko looked and saw Sora talking with Kairi. He seemed a little shook up, Kairi was shaking her head in dis believe and had lightly hit Sora on the head. "Are you still dreaming"

Sora look un-happy "But it wasn't a dream" he protested, then he paused "Or was it...?"

"Hey guys!"

Sora and Kairi turned and saw Miko running up to them. But when Miko was nearly there she tripped over her dress and landed face first into the sand. She could hear Kairi giggling, she sighed and lifted her head only to see she was staring into the face of Sora.

"Oh! Sora!" exclaimed Miko, quickly picking herself up

Sora smiled "Hey" Then he twisted his face into a frown. It then dawned upon Miko

"Heh heh...Hey Sora. Umm sorry" stuttered Miko.

Sora smiled at her "It's alright, It's just how can we finish the raft without your help"

"Oh the raft! Of course" Miko gave a fake grin. I cannot believe I forgot about the raft! She thought smacking her head

Sora then took on a serious face, "Hey Miko! I need to tell you about this dream I had!"

"Oh" laughed Miko, shaking the sand out of her hair "Was it one of those wet dreams again?"

"No..." said Sora, glaring slightly "It wasn't the one where I jumped in the swimming pool...It was about this huge black thing! And I had to attack it's hands! And there was all these little black things! Then I got swallowed up and- and- and!"

Miko stared at Sora blankly

"You...don't believe me..do you?" Sora said, looking crest-fallen

Miko shook her head "It's not that I think your making it up...It's just...it sounds a little hard to believe and after all it was just a dream"

"But it was SO realistic!" prosted Sora

Miko slightly rolled her eyes Why is he getting so worked up about a dream? She sighed. She knew one thing. Sora was a weird boy...but thats properly something that she liked about him

"So Kairi" Sora said, changing the subject and turning towards Kairi. Who was looking out to sea "What was your home like...you know? Where you grew up"

Kairi laughed "I told you before I don't remember"

Miko, who was sitting on the beach next to Sora, stared at Kairi. Kairi was a mysterious girl...no-one knew where she came from. She just appeared one day on the night of the metor shower.

Sora tilled his head "Nothing at all...?"

"Nothing"

Sora and Miko bother looked at each other "You ever wanna go back?" Miko asked

"I..was going to say that..." mumbled Sora

Kairi paused "Well, I'm happy here" she looked up at the sky "But you know...I wouldn't mind going to see it"

"I'd like to see it too!" said Sora "Along with any other worlds out there!"

Miko smiled "I wonder what another world would be like?"

"Properly better than here" shrugged Sora "Properly full of excitement and adventure"

"So? The island is safe at least" said Miko

Sora gave snort of "Pft" Miko sighed He's so hopeless sometimes

"What are we waiting for" Kairi said, turning around and smiling "Let's finish the raft and find out what these other worlds are like huh?"

Sora and Miko nodded in agreement

"Hey aren't you guys forgetting about me?"

Sora, Miko and Kairi all turned around and saw there friend Riku, he was standing there with a log under his arm

"So" Riku said, shaking his head "Guess me and Xiao are the only ones working on the raft"

"Heh, we were coming Riku" Miko said

Riku sighed and walked down where Miko and Sora were sitting. He threw the log at Sora, who attempted to catch hold of it but that turned into a complete disaster as he fell over backwards and the log went flying into Miko's arms. Kairi giggled

"You two are just as lazy as he is" Riku frowned, indicating to Miko and Kairi

Kairi rubbed the back of her head, a tab embarrassed "Heh, so you noticed"

"It wasn't that hard not to" smirked Miko, with the log resting on her lap

"Ok! We'll finish it together" Kairi said excitedly, jumping up in the air "I'll race you!"

Sora sat up and looked at Kairi "What?" he asked

"Are you kidding?" Riku asked, he had just sat down and looked tried

"Ready? Go!"

Riku and Sora both lept up and ran like lighting down the beach. Kairi followed them laughing in a silly childish way.

"HEY! Wait for me!" cried Miko, shoving the log off her and jumping to her feet and rushing down the beach after them


It took a while for Miko to catch up with Sora. When she found him, he was talking with Kairi

"Sora? Are you listing to me?" Kairi was saying

Sora blinked. It was obvious that he hadn't been paying attention "Huh?" he said. Kairi sighed.

"Hi" said Miko, waving as she appoched the two "What are you doing"

"Sora was about to go find the raft materials" said Kairi

Sora looked a little shocked "Me?!" he exclaimed "Why do I have to do it? Why can't you do?"

"Because I'm helping Riku out for the plans for the raft" Kairi explained

Sora sighed and hung his head "Ah man..."

Miko patted Sora's back "It's ok Sora, we all have are parts to play and yours has to be to get the stuff in order to make the raft"

"Oh and Miko?" Kairi butted in, turning to Miko, who looked at her "You have to go help Sora"

Miko looked surprised and Sora gave a triumphant grin. Miko gave Sora look that said 'Shut up' Then she turned to Kairi "But Kairi!" she protested "I got some of the materials yesterday-"

"Well, you'll just have to go again" Kairi smiled

Miko groaned and Sora gave a laugh "Come on Sora..let's go" Miko was just about to walk off when Kairi shouted

"Hold on! I haven't told you what we need yet"

Miko stopped walking and faced Kairi. Kairi gave Sora a piece of paper, which had written on it the following;

Two Logs

One Cloth

One Rope

"When you've got everything" Kairi said "Bring it to me I'll be with Riku proberly at the Cove" and with that she went into the Cove

Sora turned to Miko "Well let's get to it" he smiled

"And a few seconds ago you thought the world had ended" smirked Miko

Sora rolled his eyes and he and her started to walk down the beach.


Almost imidenly they found the first log. It was lying there right in front of them.

"Well you pick it up Miko" Sora said, pointing to the log

Miko gave a Sora a playful look "It's not lady like to carry logs"

"Is to"

"It is not"

"Is to"

"It is not"

"Is to"

"It is not"

This carried on for a while until Sora finally gave in and carried the log. They walked into the shack and up the staries and down to the small island where the Papou' Trees grew. The trees were beautiful. Paopu Fruits were special fruits that Sora didn't really care about. They were a lovely golden color and were shaped like the stars that shone in the heavens. Miko on the over hand though Papou fruits beautiful.

"Look! There's another log" Miko suddenly shouted, pointing to a log which was lying innocently in the bright sun. Sora picked it up

Miko smiled and her gaze traveled from Sora's bright face and up into the blue sky, the clouds moved slowly across the sky as they always seemed to do. She loved the feel of warmth that she got when she looked up at the sky and the sun was shining down at her...it felt heavenly. Sora felt the same sensation as well. Imagine that?

"BOO!"

Miko screamed in surprised, Sora got so startled by the shout that he dropped the logs onto his foot. He started to jump up and down on on one foot in pain. There was a laugh from behind Miko. Miko spun around

"Oh...Heya Xiao"

Xiao smiled dryly. She was lying on one of the bend over Papou Trees.

Xianya or Xiao as she liked be called Tanaka was 14 and was a katta, which meant she was half human and half cat, she had two cat ears and a tail. She was wearing a green shirt with a orange and blue vest on top, she wore sandy colored trousers and wore a brown belt. Each sleeve of her shirt was a different length, meaning on the left of it was short sleeved and on the right it was long sleeved. Same applied to her trousers. And she had patches all over her shirt and trousers where she had gotten holes in them. She wore no shoes. She never felt she had to. She had deep green eyes and brown hair went down to her waist, and wore a red headband. She wore a shell around her neck.

"Yo" said Xiao, giving Miko a peace sign. She had a dark sarcastic tone of voice "Aw? What's the matter Miko you look shook up? Did I scare ya?"

Miko frowned. Even though Xiao and her were the best of friends Xiao was just as bitter to her just as she was to everyone else. Xiao said it was because of Riku, her adopted brother. "You didn't scare us ...you startled us"

"Us?" Xiao said, raising an eyebrow. Then she caught sight of poor Sora hopping around "Oh...your boyfriends with you"

Miko looked up at Xiao sharply "He is NOT my boyfriend" she glared

"Says you" smirked Xiao

Sora, who had now full recovered, marched over to where Xiao was laying and glared "What gives you the right to scare the pants off us?" he snapped

"Nothing, I'm just being a pest" grinned Xiao

Sora rolled his eyes and Miko sighed. Sora went back and picked up the logs. Xiao took notice of this

"What are you two doing?" asked Xiao

"Getting matrals for the raft" replied Miko

Xiao looked a tad upset "And you didn't ask me? Me! To help?"

"We don't need your help Xiao" Sora snapped

Miko frowned at Sora "That's a bit harsh, Sora"

Sora rubbed the back of his neck "Heh, sorry Xiao. I didn't mean to snap"

"I hope you didn't" snorted Xiao

Miko turned to Sora "We should find the rest of the stuff before Kairi thinks we're slacking off" Sora nodded

"Well see ya later" Xiao said, giving a slight wave

Sora tilted his head "I thought you wanted to help"

"I did- Until you snapped at me"

Sora sighed "Let's go Miko" Miko nodded and the two walked off together, as Xiao layed there sniggering slightly


It was late afternoon before Sora and Miko finally found all the stuff on the list and we're able to head back to Kairi. They found her outside the Cove. She turned around and smiled when she saw the logs in Sora's hands and the cloth and rope in Miko's arms

"Great job, you guys" smiled Kairi as Sora and Miko both dumped the stuff down

"How'd the plans for the raft go?" Miko asked

Kairi grinned "Great! Me and Riku have drawn it up, we'll start work on it tomorrow"

Sora groaned "Can't we do it in three weeks from now?" he asked

"Nope, we have to do it now" laughed Kairi "Oh and here, this is yours" she handed Sora a small, empty bottle

Sora looked at it "What is it?" he asked

"I don't know, but it might be handy" Kairi said

Miko looked hopeful "Have you got anything for me?" she asked

"No, I'm sorry Miko" Kairi sadly said

Miko sighed "I thought as much..."

"You guys tried? Wanna call it a day" asked Kairi, looking at the worn out Miko and Sora

"Yeah, let's go home!" said Miko and Sora at the same time

Kairi laughed and Sora and Miko looked at each. Then Miko blushed and looked away. Sora grinned sheepishly.

"Ok, it is getting late" giggled Kairi "We'll finish up tomorrow"


It was at sunset when the gang all meet up on the island of Paopu Fruit trees. The sunset looked glorious as the sun slowly sunk every second deeper behind the thing line of far off ocean. The clouds glowed and the sky had gone a reddish color. And so had the water and the sun reflect in the most beautiful...almost hard to describe sorta way. These are the only sunsets that Islanders are allowed to see.

They were all sitting or leaning on different parts of a bent over Paopu fruit tree, the same one Xiao had been laying on earlier. Miko was sitting on Sora's right up the far end of the tree, Sora was sitting next to Kairi and Kairi was sitting near Riku, who was leaning on the tree. Xiao was leaning on the other side, behind the tree, peering over it, close to where Kairi was sitting near Riku. There was a silence as they all listened to the movement of the waves.

"So...Kairi's home is out there somewhere...right?" Sora asked, breaking the silence

Xiao mumbled "Just when I thought I could hear the sea without loads of noisy kids talking..."

Sora turned to face Riku, as did Kairi. Miko was gazing out to the beautiful sea, she was lost in thought until Xiao threw a rock at her head "Ow!" growled Miko glaring at Xiao. Xiao grinned. The others seemed to preoccupied listing to what Riku was saying then to pay attention to Miko.

Riku had been saying "Could be...We'll never know by saying here"

"But what's wrong with being here?" Xiao asked. No-one bothered to answer her. Xiao was used to being ignored, she didn't mind it hardly anymore

Sora lent over from his perch on the branch to be able to see Riku more clearly "But how far can a raft take us?"

"Not very far" Miko said to Sora "It'll properly sink as soon as we get out to sea" Kairi giggled a bit at that comment

Riku shrugged, ignoring Miko's comment "Who knows" he continued "If we have to we'll think of something else"

Xiao sighed "After all the effort to build the darn thing?"

"Xiao has got a bit of a point there Riku" said Sora

Xiao perked up "What? You acutely heard me that time?"

"What a shame" smirked Miko

"Oh fiddle-dee-dee" snorted Xiao, sarcastically

Kairi sighed "Please don't argue"

Xiao looked alarmed "What? But she started it!"

"Pointing fingers never got anyone anywhere" Miko said, grinning at Xiao. Xiao stuck her toungeout at Miko

Sora groaned "Stop...bickering..."

"But you and Riku argue all the time" protested Miko

Riku then decided to but in "Hey, since we did we argue"

"Yesterday" said Kairi "About--"

"Let's not go into that" Sora said, firmly

Kairi sat there in thought for a few second then said to Riku or more so to the group "Supposing you get you another world?" She paused and giggled a bit "What would you do there"

"Think why me" mumbled Xiao

"Think of all the new and strange things I'm gonna see" Miko said, dreamily

"Think of all the adventures!" exclaimed Sora, grinning away

Riku was deep in thought, it looked like he wanted to say something...but it wouldn't sound good so after a pause he said "Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?"

There was pause after this interesting speech

"I dunno" shrugged Sora as he lead back on the branch. Miko looked down at Sora's face and smiled, looked up at her and he smiled back.

"Since when did you become a phisihor?" asked Xiao, eyeing Riku

Riku thought for a moment "I'm not, its just what I think"

"Fair enough" said Xiao

"And it's because we don't know" Riku went on "That we have to go out there and find out...just sitting here won't change a thing..."

Kairi slightly shook her head. Sora looked away from Miko and out to the sea, Miko looked out to sea as well. Xiao just lent on the tree not partily caring about anything

"It's the same old stuff" Riku said "So...let's go"

Kairi looked at Riku "You've been thinking a lot lately, haven't you?"

Riku turned to Kairi "Thanks to you, if you hadn't of come here...then I properly would never of tohught of any of this"

Sora rolled his eyes at Riku. Miko wasn't really paying attention and Xiao was looking bored.

"Kairi...Thank you"

"Heh...Your welcome"


Miko was still sitting on the Paopu Tree, even after Sora, Riku and Kairi had walked off. She could hear Riku teaseing Sora about the Paopu fruit and then the laugher as they both ran off home. She sighed and gazed up at the sky and at the stars at that were slowly starting to come out. Sora...She thought. She couldn't stop thinking about him. She sighed again

"Heya Miko"

Miko turned around slightly and saw Xiao climbing up on to the branch and sitting next to her "You ok?" asked Xiao

Miko nodded. Xiao grinned cheekily "I know who your thinking about!"

Miko blushed a bit "What do you mean?" she stuttered

"Sora?" Xiao edged on "Your dream guy"

"Oh shut up!" snapped Miko, who had gone bright red

Xiao smirked "Come on it's ok, you can admit it. It's not like I didn;t already know"

Miko sighed, it was true...she did have a HUGE crush on Sora. And it was starting to get hard to hide it. Xiao gazed out to sea...she seemed unsally quiet

"What's the matter Xiao?" asked Miko

Xiao looked out to sea "Wonder where I came from? I mean I'm not from here...I'm the only kind of me here..."

Miko looked at her friend then looked out to sea as well "Maybe your like Kairi"

"Maybe..."

"And maybe we might be able to find your home world out there" smiled Miko

"Maybe..."

Miko sighed, what comfort was she to Xiao? She had no idea what it was like to be one of a kind...or maybe she did...it was every odd...

"I can't wait to get on that raft...and just sail away"

Miko looked at Xiao. It was rare she spoke like this, she was usually a grummpy, moody, hot tempered, sacastic girl. But sometimes she was quiet and thoughtful.

Xiao looked up at the sky one last time then jumped off the branch and started to walk off

"Where are you going?" Miko called after her

"Home, you should to, it's getting late" Xiao answered

Miko nodded "Ok!" she took one good long last look at the glorious sunset...then jumped off them branch and ran up to Xiao and the two of them walked home together.
