FLASHBACK

A girl in a skater outfit had started crying in room 274 in the Local Hospital and said, "Daddy, please don't go!!"

"Don't worry Kairi, try and stay alive. But, remember if I don't make it, you need to move on with your life okay? Finish college, only one more year, and move on okay?

"Okay…"

The nurse came in and said, "I'm sorry Kairi but you have to wait in the waiting room." She flipped off the brake with her foot and moved Kairi's dad into the room marked "SURGICAL ROOM" while Kairi headed for the waiting room.

1 HOUR LATER

Kairi was waiting impatiently for her dad to come out of the surgical room…

ANOTHER HOUR LATER

She jumped at the voice of a young man, while waiting for her dad still, about the same age as Kairi, 21. She turned and saw a young man with another skater outfit but it was black. He had brown hair which was very spikey, he also had blue eyes that sparkled at Kairi.

He said, "Hi! What you doing. Are you okay 'cause your pale."

"Oh I'm sorry, yes I'm fine thank you," Kairi had said with some surprise in her voice, "I'm Kairi and you are…"

"Oh yea sorry, I'm Sora. Nice to meet you."

The nurse came in and called Kairi telling her that her dad was done and out of the surgery.

She jumped up and started heading for the room when she turned around and said to Sora, "Sorry I have to leave so soon, but I'll see you later."

"Okay. I understand."

Kairi had started for room 274 then broke into run. She reached the room and barged in and knelt next to him, and muttered, "You're alive!! You're alive… thank God!!"

Her dad moved his head and peered down at Kairi kneeling on the floor and said, "Hey why are you kneeling??"

"Daddy…" she whispered as she stood up.

"Oh yes that's right Kairi we could go home if you want now," he said, "But you have to drive cause I'm starting to feel sleepy."

"Okay no prob."

Kairi helped her dad up, and made their way to the car.

When Kairi and her dad reached the car, Kairi dug into her purse for her keys and asked her dad, "Hey do you have the keys?"

"Oh no! It's still in the room on the bedside table."

"Okay I'll go get why don't you just stay here against the car while I go get them," Kairi answered, "Will you be okay?"

"Of course I'm better than ever!!"

"Okay…" Kairi answered with uncertainty in her voice.

She handed her dad her purse but took the money out of it and her credit cards and stuff.

"Watch this 'kay? I'll be quick."

"Okay now go and hurry, and quickly, I'm starving!! The hospital food is disgusting!!"

Kairi ran to the hospital and told the receptionist that she just needed her keys and had forgotten them in room 274.

The receptionist replied, "Oh the room was just cleaned. Here I think these are yours." She said as she handed Kairi the keys.

When Kairi grabbed the keys and ran outside, she heard a gunshot.

BANG!!

Kairi ran across the street looking both ways and saw that her dad was lying on the street with a puddle of blood around him and saw that her purse had been thrown onto the car, it was all ripped up and ruined.

She ran up to her dad and knelt beside him. The bullet was in his stomach. Kairi held her dad in her hands rocking him back and forth crying on him.

She heard her dad take something out of his pocket and heard him whisper, "Read this as much as you can. I'm sorry but your mom and I have been saving it up to the right time. The Heartless were after this. Look for a young man the same age as you named Sora… "

After he finished he held up his hand unsteadily, and shaking said "I love you Kairi…"

He took in his last breath and his hand dropped.

Kairi put a hand over his face and closed his eyes and started crying.

"Daaaddddyyyyy!!!!" She cried out loud. "Daddy…please not now I need you what are shadows??"

"Daddy…" she stuttered as she rose up and saw someone heading towards to her…
