It's just writing it down! I will finish this one I promise! XD If I don't you have my permission to hate me forever!
Anyway! On with the fic! I don't own anything other than the story! :)

-TwlilightIsn'tLiterature.

The sun was beginning to set around the small, peaceful islands of 'Destiny' giving off rays and turning the sky to an aura of purple, red, orange and yellow.

A group of teens pulled up their boats onto the shore and tied them secure with the rope provided. A range of hair colours stood out from the distance, along with brightly coloured clothing to match the time of year.

A figure watched from afar at the bodies activity, then they soon started to retreat from the beach towards the village. One boy stared towards the figure who was now staring out at the ocean into the distance. Like it was waiting for something or someone.

Sora's POV

"Hey, watcha looking at?" asked a buddy as he waited for me by the gate leading to the village.

Grabbing my attention, I shook my head and replied "Huh, nothing" shaking off the subject.

I'd seen the figure standing there, frozen. But decided against investigating further.

Lots of people did that to clear their minds on this island. It was no biggy.

I couldn't help but keep looking back to see it still standing there. It hadn't moved. It was there everyday, I just never paid that much attention.

"Seriously? What are you staring at? You're starting to creep me out" the blonde yelped and stared back at the same spot.

"It's nothing, I just thought I saw somethin, that's all..." I dug my hands into my pockets and continued walking with my peers.

"Well this island is haunted so you could have just seen one of the ghosts" teased a friend. She smirked at the me and flicked her short black hair from her face.

I rolled my eyes and tuted.

"There's no such thing as ghosts...or spirits or anything else like that. It's all a bunch of publicity stunts set up for the media"

"Do you not think that there's more to it though? I mean...what happens after we die? That can't just be it. Something has to linger afterwards" A blonde haired girl spoke up.

"Which internet site you grab that from Namine huh?" I joked.

"I'm being serious. That can't just be it" she continued.

I rolled my eyes again in annoyance and just zoned out from what she was saying.

Soon we'd all gone our separate ways. It was quite late when I finally arrived home, my parents were in bed, so I quickly made myself a bite to eat, and retreated upstairs.

The next day was Monday. I hate Monday's. I dragged myself to school and surprisingly survived the day by not falling asleep. I guess that should teach me not to stay awake until 5 in the morning playing on my xbox with my friends.

Though throughout the day, I'd developed a raging headache. Again, that'll teach me. It was like someone was bashing my head in with a sledgehammer!

The quarter past 4 bell rang and we were released.

I knew exactly what I was doing when I got home.

Though it would seem that fate wasn't on my side. I got to my front porch and realised I left my keys on my chest of drawers this morning. Nobody was in either. Nor were any windows left semi open so I could climb on in. Great.

I decided to take a slow walk to the beach to find some shade, rest and see if I could shift this pain from my head.

The place was full of islanders who'd spent the day down here, with kids and teens alike who didn't go to school that day. I found a spot underneath a palm tree and nestled myself there. Leaning my head back onto the trunk of the palm tree, I closed my eyes and let the sound of the waves hitting the shore and the sounds of seagulls engulf me.

I'm pretty sure I fell asleep, because when I opened my eyes, nobody was on the beach. Not even that figure I saw the night before.

And as if by magic, the figure, or should I say girl, walked infront of me towards the part of the beach where she was last night. I assumed it was the same person, as she had the same characteristics as the figure last night and any other night she'd been spotted. She glanced over at me for a short while then turned her head away from me. I couldn't make her out properly, but from where I was sat, I saw she had shoulder length red hair which glistened in the sunsets rays, and striking blue eyes. When she made eye contact with me, I felt my body freeze. My eyes were locked with hers, like she'd taken me prisoner, and I was suddenly free when she looked away.

I continued to watch her get to her destination, and upon arriving, she sat down in the very same spot and sat down on the sand. The waves were just reaching her feet.

Was this the same person from last night? Or just a coincidence? If it were, why and what is she waiting for?

My headache had finally shifted by the time I decided it was time to head home. I'd spent the last few hours studying this girl who was now standing up, but still looking out at the ocean.

It took a bit of a debate with my inner self, but I decided to go and talk to her.

I regretted my decision with every step I took closer to her.

"Uh...hey" I muttered out nervously behind her. She didn't react immediately, but soon turned her body round slowly and looked at me with those sparkling blues of hers. She didn't say anything. She simply smiled at me. Close up, she was beautiful. I lost track of time for a second, I was too engulfed in staring at how pretty she was. She suddenly giggled lightly at me and placed her hands behind her back.

I snapped out of it and began talking again.

"Uh...Are you going home soon? You've gotta be careful with the tide on this beach, it's already claimed someone, it wouldn't be nice to hear it claimed another" I stumbled out.

She moved her eyes, looking to the left of her before looking back at me, then a frown formed upon her porcelain face.

"Waiting..." her voice cracked as she turned back around and began staring back out into the distance again.

"You're waiting? For what if you don't mind me asking?" I treaded carefully.

She didn't reply. She just lowered her head and closed her eyes. She brought her arms around to the front crossing them over eachother over her body, burying her hands under each arm. I scratched my head in awkwardness. After a short while, I spoke up again.

"I'm sorry. Did I offend you?"

She shook her head slowly. But still maintained her postition.
This girl was strange.
There was something about her though, but I just couldn't but a finger on it.

I looked out into the distance to see if I could spot what she was looking at or see anything. But nothing. Nothing but the moon rising above the sea line and the stars appearing from their hiding places. She sat back down onto the sand with her legs bent up slightly and held her head straight, staring back out to the distance again. No emotion displayed on her face.

I sat down next to her. Just as I did, she looked at me with a puzzled look on her face.

"Whatever you're waiting for, I'll wait with you. Just to make sure you're safe." I said with a warm smile on my face.
'You're too nice to strangers' I thought to myself.

Her expression lightened and she grinned at me.

We sat in silence listening to the waves rush in and land on the shore, dragging stones and shells alike out with it. The sounds of the seagulls had died down, it was around 9 oclock at night. I closed my eyes, to reopen them in reaction to a different sound.

"Kairi" she mumbled.

"Huh?" I responded.

It took her a while, but she soon spoke up again.

"My name. It's Kairi" She smiled. The look on her face. So sincere.

"Kairi?"

She nodded at me and carried on looking at me.

I guess she was waiting for me to tell her mine.

"My name's Sora" I held out my hand to her.

She looked at my hand, confused. I quirked an eyebrow. 'Surely she knows a handshake when she see's one...' I thought.

"You shake it" I said to her grinning. Embarressed, she took my hand and she shook it and looked away from me as quickly as she could.

I chuckled lightly, not to overly embarress her. But I noticed something about her hand. It was freezing! Not suprising as she'd been out here for quite some time. I knew there'd be no persuading her to leave any time soon.

"Sora..." She whispered to herself after a brief silence. Yep. No doubt about it this girl was strange. I didn't mind it though.

Little did I know, this was the beginning of a whole new chapter in my life.

Dun Dun Dunnnnn! First chapter done! :) I hope you liked it! Ha! Like I said before. This one is all planned out, I know what I'm gonna do, I just need to write it all down! (Well, type) I'm planning this to be a bit of a bittersweet love story. (Cause I'm sappy like that! ;D)

Anyhow! Let me know what you think of my reappearance and the fresh idea I brought with me! Anything I can improve?

Ta!
