Journey to the Past
Disclaimer: I own the plot only.
Kairi looked out over the waters of her current home, the sunset painted in the background looking as if the ocean was eating it. She couldn't believe she had been away for so long and yet so many questions were left unanswered.
'Who were my parents? Why was I taken? Am I really a Princess?'
She sighed lightly as her feet dangled over the edge of the small island connected to the main land by a wooden bridge. She soon lay back, her head in the sand as she watched the sky turn from blue to a light purple. Her memories were hazy, but the one thing she couldn't remember were the faces of her parents. It wasn't like she had enough time to search the castle for any of their pictures, if there were still any up.
Thinking about the castle reminded her of Sora and Riku, the way they were before they changed, before Riku changed and Sora tried to rescue her. The filled her mind with even more questions, all of them leading her down a different path than before.
'Why did Riku choose the path of the Darkness? What could have Maleficent promised him? How did Sora become so strong?'
The last question was obvious, having fought so many Heartless before arriving at the castle, but the other two, the ones regarding Riku, they left her more confused than ever, especially regarding her feelings towards the two boys.
The sky was now filled with stars, the ones she was so familiar with but were completely different than those she saw in Traverse Town briefly. It was comforting to be back home, but without the boys here with her, there was an emptiness that just couldn't be filled by their other friends, even though they had tried. Her past though had distanced her too far from them, and one of them always found her in this spot each day, dwelling on things she could never change, and missing the loved ones that had left her behind.
