Destiny Island

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Two years was all she thought about while she sat in the classroom. Two years since she last seen her two closet friends, Sora and Riku. Now, at seventeen years old, Kairi the tomboyish girl and a princess of the seven hearts, has grown to be a beautiful young lady.

Physically her appearance was still the same, the only differences was that she has grown an inch in the past two years, making her an average height of 5'5 and her once shoulder length red hair, grew down to her lower back. She thought about cutting her long hair numerous of times, but her friends insisted she keep it. She looks pretty with long hair they say and so she took their advice and kept it.

When Kairi returned home two years ago, she didn't come;she brought her mentor and friend, Tifa Lockhart with her. Kairi brought Tifa here for a reason and that reason was to get stronger. She wanted to be strong enough so she can help her friends when they're needed.

Kairi's father allowed Tifa to stay with them after learning that she was going to train his daughter and be her mentor. Tifa's training was tough, hard and at most frustrating. The Martial Artist wanted Kairi to be strong, physically, mentally and emotionally and it was the only way she knew it would get her to be tough enough. During her training, Kairi ran miles on the sandy beaches, exercised, and swam from island to island; which took about two and half days. Perhaps even longer in Kairi's opinion.

After each training session was over, Tifa sparred against Kairi to improve her fighting skills. At the beginning, the sparring was bad because Tifa didn't take it easy on her. The older woman told her she couldn't go easy on her because her enemy's wouldn't go easy on her.

Even though the Kairi never won her sparring matches, Tifa could see she has been improving each and everyday thanks to her training techniques.

When the school bell rung, interrupting her thoughts, Kairi gathered her belongings as she left the classroom. After emptying out her locker and returning her textbooks to her teachers, she headed outside the school where her bubbly, energetic friend, Selphie was waiting for her.

"Finally school is over and summer vacation begins!" Selphie loudly shouted. "I can't wait to hit the beaches and get myself a tan because I definitely need one. Don't you think so Kairi?" She asked, turning her attention to her red-haired friend.

Kairi didn't give an answer but shrugged her shoulders as a response. In her opinion, she believed Selphie was tanned enough since her skin was much darker than hers.

"Oh and meet pretty attractive guys. I just bought this new yellow bikini which I know all the guys will be looking at me," Selphie rambled on

Kairi just smiled at her friends rambling. She's always thinking about hot boys whenever summer comes around. Unlike Selphie, Kairi doesn't act the same whenever there's a hot guy around. Sure they're attractive but, they don't interest her as much. Maybe if she was younger then things will be different, but she's grown up and mature as a young woman.

Turning the corner, they reached Selphie's house. When Selphie entered the gate, she turned back to Kairi. "Hey Kai, Jessie, Emily and I are going to the Destiny Island Pier this weekend, want to join us? It'll be like old times."

Kairi lowered her head and sighed. As much as she wanted to go with her friends to the pier she couldn't go. "I'm sorry Selphie but I can't this time," Kairi apologized while shaking her head. "I have other plans."

"Aww really," the bubbly girl frowned and Kairi nodded. "Then maybe next time?" Selphie asked hoping her friend will join them. However, she refused again.

"I can't Selphie. Basically, we won't be doing anything together this summer."

"WHAT?! So we're not friend anymore?" Selphie cried, her eyes watery.

The tomboy girl chuckled and shook her head. "No it's not like that Sel. It's just that...w-well I'm planning on visiting Sora this summer."

The brown-haired teen eyes lighted up in excitement after hearing what her best friend said. "You're really going to see him? Aww, I really miss him. Tell him I said hello, okay?"

Kairi gave a nod. "Will do. I'm sure he misses us too. He must be lonely living on the other side of the continent."

"Yeah, hey, what about Riku? Have you heard from him?"

"Nope, I'm sure he's fine though."

Selphie sighed and glanced up towards the sky. "It's weird though Kai, they both left without saying goodbye."

Too bad Selphie doesn't know the real truth like I do. Kairi frowned at her thought.

Moments later, both friends bid they're farewell and Kairi headed home. She then began thinking about Sora and Riku. The reason Selphie believes Sora is living somewhere else is because Kairi told her he went to live with a relative in a different country. She hated lying to her friend but it was the only way to cover up for Sora until he returns.

Sora's mother is the only person that knows where her son really is after Kairi and Tifa told her and what her son does. She fairly accepted it.

As for covering up Riku, she didn't tell anything about him, even though she knows where he is. Just like everyone here on Destiny Island though no one knows his whereabouts.

When she arrived home, she opened the door, slipping off her shoes and dropping her bag on the floor. She made her way into the kitchen and grabbed her self an apple that was in a basket on the counter. She took a bite of her apple when she walked outside to the backyard.

She then found her mentor and friend sitting in a white chair. "Hey Tifa," Kairi greeted, a smile on her face.

The older woman stopped reading a letter she just received and turned to her student, smiling in return. "Welcome home Kairi. How was your final day at school?"

Kairi sighed while taking a seat next to Tifa. "Same as always. So what you got there? Another letter from Cloud?" The red-haired pointed to the letter, while taking another bit of her fruit.

The raven-haired woman gave a nod and then began reading the letter once more. "Cloud say he wants us to meet a Radiant Garden ASAP."

"Great! Did he mention anything about Sora?" Kairi wondered, hoping Sora would finally show up. From time to time, Kairi would visit Radiant Garden to see if she'll see him once more. Unfortunately, he never showed. Perhaps this time he will.

To her dismay, Tifa slowly shook her head. "He mention about Sora leaving a few days ago. He's unsure whether or not he may show up."Kairi hopes of seeing Sora were crushed again. Tifa saw the saddened expression plastered on her student face and rubbed her shoulders. "Don't worry, I'm sure that Sora will show up eventually. It's been two years since we all seen each other. Maybe he misses you more than you miss him."

Kairi faintly smiled, believing in her mentor words. She had a feeling that Sora does misses her and will show up just to be reunited again. She never felt so lonely without him.

"Hopefully I'll see Roxas as well," Namine whispered from the inside of Kairi, causing the red-haired to giggled.

"What's so funny Kairi?" Tifa asked, startled by her student's sudden laughtered.

"Oh, it's just Namine was asking about Roxas. So, when do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning. You still remember how to unlock the gate right?"

Kairi nodded as she stood up from her seat. She glanced up at the ever sunsetting that defines the beautiful Destiny Island. As a light breeze blew her long flowing red hair, Kairi thought about meeting up with friends again, especially Sora.

"I hope you kept your promise...don't ever change, Sora." She whispered, as the wind carried her message."
