Chapter 1

Sora waited on the docks of Destination Island, the waves crashed upon the shore and the smell of the ocean rushed into his face. "Sora," Kairi whispered as she approached him.

She rested her hand on his shoulder, he was slightly startled. He turned around and looked up at her, "Hi. What are you doing here? I thought that you were going to look for Riku."

"I couldn't find him, but I was wondering, will you help me find supplies for the ship, we're leaving tomorrow still, right?" Kairi asked, she gave a look of innocence to butter him up.
"Uhh," he looked at her eyes, her big blue eyes that he loved, "how can I resist?" He got up and stretched out his arms.

"So," he began, "what supplies do we need?"

"Oh, some rope, a bit of food, and -- huh! Riku!"

"Hey Kairi, I've been looking for you for a while," Riku said quietly and charmingly came near her.
"Well, I'm glad you're here because I need you to help Sora and I to gather all the supplies for our voyage," she whipped her hair around and walked off shifting her hips flirtatiously.
"Riku," Sora started, "I'm able to get all the stuff we need by myself."

"Well then, I'll be waiting here for the supplies so I can build the boat. Why don't you go tell her that you can do it yourself; in the meanwhile I'll split the paupu fruit with Kairi," Riku agreed.

Riku jumped off the dock and onto the beach. Sora raged with anger. Him splitting the paupu fruit with Kairi? Kairi was his girl, well, in his thoughts. The paupu fruit would bind them to be with each other forever. Sora ran off to get Kairi, his thoughts were still on the fact that Riku was going to ask Kairi to split the paupu fruit with him.

"Kairi! Kairi!" He called as he roamed the beaches. She was sitting on the beach, her hands propped her up in the position she was in. The breeze blew her hair back as she basked in the sun, he thought she was so beautiful. He didn't want to break the calm, silent picture. He wanted to keep that moment forever, as he gazed at her he wanted to hold her. She turned around, she looked him up and down, and turned back around. Sora sat down next to her. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Kairi commented.
"Yeah," Sora looked at her, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

She looked over at him, "What? Do I have something on my face?" Kairi asked.

"No, no," Sora shyly responded.

"What? C'mon, tell me. We've been best friends since we were babies. C'mon," she begged.

"Kairi," Riku was back.

He walked up to the two of them, and sat on the opposite side of Kairi. "Kairi, you look really nice. I mean really, absolutely, just--just… gorgeous."

"Stop it, you're such a tease!"

"Any way," Sora said, trying to get back on the subject, "Are you guys ready for tomorrow? Or, Riku, do you still need to build the raft?"

"Oh, no, I've been done for hours, now. I was just walking across the south side of the beach, I found some very beautiful shells that reminded me of you and, well, I, here… let me get it."

Riku searched through his pack and pulled out a shell necklace. He gently held it up in front of Kairi's face. "HUH!" she gasped, "it's gorgeous!"

"Here, let me," he took the necklace and tied it around her neck, making sure that Sora saw every gesture and every touch.

"Thank you," Kairi wrapped her arms around Riku. She walked off, feeling the ridges of the shells.

Sora tried to hide his anger, but it was so difficult for him. "I'm gonna go get some rest for tomorrow, see ya," Riku dashed off after Kairi.

In the distance, Sora could here Riku offering Kairi to take her home. Sora sat on the beach, deserted by his friends. He just stared at the sunset, to him, it really was beautiful.
