Warm. She felt so warm. As if she'd falled asleep in a bed, and it was all just a horrible dream she had experienced. She wiped the sand away from her eyes, and stretched in place. Then came to notice that her 'bed' was breathing. Startled she turned around, to see the Fox that she had helped the night before sleeping beside her, keeping her warm. She was scared at first, but the feeling of the Nine-Tailed fur calmed her down. She pet it, and smiled briskly to herself, and whispered. 'See? I promised I wouldn't hurt you, didn't I?' Kairi completely warmed up to the Fox right away. She pet her for a few minutes, and noticed that the Fox was making heavier breathing sounds. She was pleased to be given affection.
Kairi was in utter joy, at her new found friend. She scratched behind the Fox's ears, and burried her face into her stomach. The soft white fur on her belly was comfortable like a pillow.
The Fox turned over on her back, and opened her eyes. They were a mix of warm-yellows and oranges. Like an Amber.
"Good morning Kairi." The Fox spoke.
Kairi stopped petting the Fox and stared confusingly into the Fox's Amber eyes. Did the Fox just speak to her? Of course not, that's just absurd. Fox's don't talk. Then again... this Fox DID have Nine Tails.
"Erm... good morning?" Kairi said hesitantly and stared into the Fox's eyes.
"I'm Rexie."
"Rex...ie?" Kairi was so confused. Is this really happening to her?
"What? You're acting like you've never seen a Nine Tailed fox before!" The Fox grumbled happily and rolled around on her back. Flipping all her tails into the air.
"Well..." Kairi said. "Not only are you Nine Tailed fox, but... did you really just speak to me?" Emphasis on speak.
"Yes, does that bother you?" Rexie snapped.
"Uh, n-no. It doesn't." Kairi said.
"Good. Now help me find some food okay?" Rexie got up, and darted into some tree's across the way.
Kairi rubbed her head, for the third or fourth time now, and made her way back onto the bench. She stared into the tree's and started to really think about her life. Where was she, and why were there Nine Tailed Talking Fox's... well talking to her?
tmp tmp tmp...
Someone was walking towards Kairi again, and she spun her head around to see who it was. It was Roxas. He seemed to be the only other human in this place. Come to think of it, it should be morning. Yet it's still Twilight here.
"Roxas...?" She said. Baffled. He was holding a bag and made his way towards the Bench. He walked around it and sat next to her.
"What." He said coldly. Just like when they first met. He opened the back to reveal the contents. Ice Cream. He tossed one to Kairi, but she didn't catch it. Instead it landed beside her. She just stared at it.
"Well? Aren't you going to eat it? You must be hungry." Said the Blond, pushing her to have the Ice Cream.
Kairi picked it up, and opened the white plastic wrap that concealed the Sea Blue Ice Cream away from her taste buds. "What is it?" She asked.
"Ice Cream." He said.
"I mean what flavor." She answered.
"Sea~Salt." He said back.
Hesitantly, Kairi brought the odd colored Popsicle to her mouth, and took a bite.
"Salty yet... sweet?" She exclaimed.
"Like it?" Roxas questioned. Eating his own Ice Cream.
"Yeah. Thanks." Kairi said.
"No problem,"Roxas replied as he ate the rest of his Ice Cream.
"So that fox from last night was laying beside me when I woke up,"Kairi added.
"Really?"Roxas asked.
"Yeah but she ran off after a litte bit,"Kairi replied.
"The fox seemed pretty dangerous last night,"Roxas pointed out.
"Shes not dangerous she was just scared,"Kairi added.
"Do you want to look for her?"Roxas asked.
"Yeah I do I have a feeling she knows why I'm here,"Kairi replied.
"Why your here?"Roxas asked.
"Yeah you see my home is on the destiny islands I know something happened that coused me to be here but I cant remember what because I passed out,"Kairi answered.
"So you woke up in Twilight Town?"Roxas asked.
"Yeah,"Kairi replied.
"Okay but how is a fox going too tell you why your here?"Roxas asked.
"She.. she can talk,"Kairi replied.
"Animals cant talk,"Roxas added.
"Well she can,"Kairi snapped.
"Alright alright no need to get snappy,"Roxas sighed.
"Anyways thanks for the Ice Cream I'm going too go find the fox,"Kairi replied.
"Your welcome and good luck,"Roxas added.
Then the redhead got off of the bench and walked to where she saw Rexie ran off too.
Kairi walked for a few minutes then she saw the fox chasing a rabbit through the park.
"Rexie!"Kairi called.
The nine tailed fox stopped running and looked back over her sholder.
"Kairi!"Rexie replied as she ran up too the redhead.
"Were you trying too kill that rabbit?"Kairi asked.
"Yeah,"Rexie answered.
"Don't bother with that I'll get you some food,"Kairi replied.
"Really?"Rexie asked.
"Of course,"Kairi added.
Rexie smiled and then nuzzled the redhead.
Kairi smiled as she pet the nine tailed fox.
"Well come on then,"Kairi smirked.
The orange and white fox followed Kairi through the park and into town where the stores were.
Kairi looked at the stores serching for one that sold fox food or whatever foxes ate.
"So what do you want to eat?"Kairi asked.
"A grunny,"Rexie answered.
"A grunny?"Kairi asked.
"Yeah there like bunnies but there green,"Rexie pointed out.
"Alright then where do they sell them?"Kairi asked.
"The pet store,"Rexie answered.
"Do you know where it is?"Kairi asked.
"Yeah follow me,"Rexie answered.
The orange and white fox led Kairi too the petshop.
"Here we are,"Rexie added.
"Alright come on,"Kairi replied as she opened the door.
Rexie smiled as she ran inside.
The redhead walked beside the fox as they looked for grunnies.
"Heres where the petfood is,"Rexie pointed out as she ran down the allie.
Kairi smiled for a moment and looked at the fox.
"Shes cute."Kairi thought.
"KAIRI I FOUND THE GRUNNIES!"Rex yelled excitedly.
The redhead snapped out of her trance and walked down to here Rexie was.
Then Kairi looked at the bag of grunnies.
"There dead..."Kairi replied.
"Well duh,"Rex answered.
Then Kairi picked up the bag and smiled down the fox.
"Come on let's go pay,"Kairi pointed out.
Rexie nodded and then followed Kairi too the check out.
"I'll take these,"Kairi said as she put the bag of grunnies down.
"Alright,"cashier replied.
The cashier rung the grunnies up.
"That will be ten dollars please,"The worker added.
Kairi nodded and then got ten dollars out of her wallet and paid the cashier the money.
"Nice fox,"The cashier commented as Kairi handed him the money.
"Thanks"Kairi smirked.
"Alright well have a nice day,"The cashier added.
"You too,"Kairi replied as she led Rexie out of the store.
"Thanks for the food,"Rexie said as she nuzzled Kairi again.
"Your welcome,"Kairi replied.
After that the two walked back to the bench and sat down.
The redhead ripped open the bag of grunnies and handed two of them too the fox.
Rexie ate the two grunnies faster than Kairi could count.
"So Rexie listen do you know why I'm here?"Kairi asked.
"Yes I do,"Rexie answered as she finished eating.
"Why am I here then?"Kairi asked.
"Well ya see I'm from Radiant Garden and I've been sent here because we belong together,"Rexie answered.
"What do you mean we belong together?"Kairi asked.
"As in your my master and I'm your pet,"Rexie replied.
"Okay but how were you sent here?"Kairi asked once more.
"Well you see theres a place in Radiant Garden called The Radiant Garden Pound and the humans who work there know the name of everyone in the world so they try to match the foxes up with the humans they think will take care of them and all of that I came here looking for you but I got caught in that trap and when you found me I didn't know it was you at first because I was so scared but then after you freed me and I looked for a while longer I saw you alseep on the bench and I realized it was you,"Rexie answered.
"Wait how do they know everyones name?"Kairi asked.
"They told me they know because the ruler of the three worlds knows everyones name and tells them,"Rexie replied.
"Your not talking about ruler Xehanort are you?"The redhead aked.
"Yes I am,"Rexie replied.
"I know he ruled over Destiny Islands but not Twilight Town and Radiant Garden,"Kairi replied back.
"You didn't?"Rexie asked.
"No my parents never told me much about the three worlds they weren't very nice either infact now that I think of it I ran away from home that night before I ended up here,"Kairi answered.
"Can you remember how you ended up here though?"Rexie asked.
"No the only thing I remember is me running away and the next thing I know I wake up in this town,"Kairi replied.
"Oh I see,"Rexie answered.
"Yeah I ran away hoping i'd find something too live for and I think I did,"Kairi replied.
"You did?"Rexie asked.
"Yeah,"Kairi smirked.
"What was it you found?"Rexie asked.
"You,"Kairi answered.
Rexie smiled as she nuzzled the redhead again in reponse too Kairi's answer.
"But I'm still worried because where are we going to live?"and since I ran away my parents might be looking for me,"Kairi sighed.
"We'll figure something out,"Rexie replied.
"Yeah I hope so,"Kairi added.
"I have an idea let's find your friend maybe he can help us,"Rexie pointed out.
"Roxas?"Kairi asked.
"Yes,"Rexie replied.
"I don't know I mean whats he going to think when he finds out you can talk?"Kairi asked.
"Who knows,"Rexie shrugged.
"Well its worth a try come on let's find him,"Kairi added.
Rexie nodded and then followed the redhead through town.
Kairi and Rexie looked around town a bit and then spotted Roxas over by one of the shops.
"Hey Roxas,"Kairi smirked as she and Rexie walked over to him.
"Hey Kairi I see you brought the fox,"Roxas replied.
"Yeah,"Kairi replied.
Then Rexie walked up too Roxas and spoke.
"Hi its nice to meet you,"Rexie added.
"IT TALKS,"Roxas yelled.
"Told ya,"Kairi laughed.
"So listen Roxas we need your help,"Rexie pointed out.
"You do?"Roxas asked.
"Yes we were wondering if you could help us find a house?"Kairi asked back.
"You mean you two don't live here?"Roxas asked.
"Nope,"Kairi replied.
"Well then yeah I'll help you,"Roxas added.
"Thanks so much,"Kairi replied.
"No problem but could you two explain to me what happened?"Roxas asked.
"Sure,"Rexie added.
"Kairi you wanna tell me?"Roxas asked.
"Okay well um you see Rexie was sent here too look for me because she was sent from the pound in Radiant Garden which matchs humans with foxs and I ran away from home and ended up here because my parents are jerks,"Kairi answered.
"So what your saying is Rexie was sent from the pound to find you and you ran away from home?"Roxas asked.
"Yeah,"Kairi replied.
"Okay well then let's find you two a home,"Roxas added.
Rexie and Kairi nodded as they followed Roxas down the street.
"I know a neighborhood that a few houses for sale if you two want we can go look at them,"Roxas stated.
"That sounds good,"Rexie replied.
"I agree,"Kairi added.
"Alright then let's go,"Roxas smirked.
For the rest of the day Kairi and Rexie looked at different houses they liked.
After they left the last house it was starting to get dark.
"Well Roxas thanks for helping us,"Kairi said.
"No problem,"Roxas replied.
"So Kairi where are we going to sleep tonight?"Rexie asked.
"On the bench,"Kairi answered.
"You know if you two need a place to stay I have an extra bedroom at my house,"Roxas added.
"No its okay i'd rather have the bench,"Kairi answered.
"Suit yourself,"Roxas smirked.
"Well were going to go so see you tomorrow then?"Kairi asked.
"Yeah see ya,"Roxas replied.
Kairi smiled at her friend and then headed off with Rexie.
Once they got back too the bench Kairi sat down and Rexie jumped up next too her.
"Today has been interesting,"Kairi pointed out.
"It sure has,"Rexie replied.
"Well shall we get some sleep?"Kairi asked.
"Yeah I'm pretty tired,"Rexie answered.
"Same here,"Kairi added.
Then Kairi laid down and Rexie laid down beside her.
After a little while of talking Kairi and Rexie fell asleep together under the stars.
