I do not own Kingdom Hearts, but someday they will realize it's mine, and surrender xD
Read and Review, it would be much appreciated.
Oh and sorry about the short, boring, on-and-on-about-random-things for Chapter One. It was like one o'clock in the morning and I had just gotten back from watching Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince that night. xD
Kairi's house from the inside I was inspired from my Aunt's house..her house is cute in the inside..but she has to much stuff crammed everywhere. It's disgusting, to be honest. o.o;
Enjoy~
Notes, Plans, New Beginning.
Opening the window of new opportunities.
Sunlight flittered through the window, onto the hard cream-colored wood, showing all the flittering dust that had accumulated in her room while she slept.
Her eyes flickered open and she sneezeed loudly, and then giggled softly.
"Good morning, little room." The room seemed to creak it's greeting, since the floorboards creaked, and the room began to show more dust. Her eyes glanced over at the window, and she noticed the white piece of parchment left.
She leaned out of her bed, her feet clashing into the wood and she walked towards her window, opening it slightly and she untied the note, leaving her window open.
She glanced for a signature but all it said was 'To: Kairi.'
Her eyes scrunchitized the piece of paper as she sat down on her bed, and opened it crinkling it a tad in the process, she snorted and seemed to mutter something like, clumsiness, and Naminé.
The parchment seemed old, and as she glanced at the writing it was scribled in slight cursive, and very neat for a little note.
Dear, Kairi.
I know you don't nessecarily know me, or do you?
We met when little, a sandbox was what we played in.
Sweet memories, is what I can only remember, too.
Remember me please, and maybe you'll win.
Sincerely,
Keyblader.
She blinked, re-reading the note a few times..so maybe that brunet she had remembered could be this mysterious 'keyblader' She frowned, deep in thought then snorted and shook her head.
That would seem awkward if that boy was this keyblader guy, it was to obvious, but he did seem to be fond of her if he had just sweet memories of someone like her.
She closed the note, sticking it in her nightstand drawer and her legs flauntered gracefully over to her dresser, where she picked out a pair of blue jeans, along with it a red tank with pink designs all along the front. Light-brown sandals she chose for her feet along with a knitted pink hat. It was her favorite, she just couldn't remember where she got it.
Yawning, she headed down the stairs and into the single bathroom which was an ocean-theamed scenery. Kairi enjoyed the bathroom, it seemed to make her feel calm and relaxed. She closed the bathroom door along with locking it, turned the fan on, and placed her clothes on the counter before she stripped and slipped into the shower.
Cold water splashed onto her skin, making her jump yet shiver as it woke her up, and then it turned warm and soaked her body.
She let it un-tense her muscles and soothe the aches from the old bed she had upstairs in her room.
In minutes, she had finished her shower and slipped on her clothes, placing the dirty clothes in a hamper.
She brushed her teeth, combed her wet hair and applied some light mascara nothing to much.
She opened the bathroom door, and headed up to her room where she grabbed the leftover dishes from her breakfast - dinner and began to wash them before placing them into the dishwasher.
She leaned gently against the counter, thinking of what she could do today..and then she remebered her plan of moving away and her thoughts wandered to Riku.
She couldn't hear her mother so she was probably at work, and her father seemed to be gone to. She rubbed her forehead gently and ran upstairs quickly, grabbing a simple brown bag and locking her bedroom door.
Rummaging through the bag, her hand had pulled out a light pink cellphone and she was already dialing Riku's number.
"Hello?" A calm, yet serious voice asked from the other line.
"Riku!" She claimed softly, yet with happiness.
"That's my name don't wear it out, Kairi. I got your ticket, moving so soon?" His voice held amusement, and she could tell he was stifling a chuckle.
She smiled softly and said "Yeah, my parents just fight to much. I'm coming over now to get it, you busy? I was thinking we could head to the usual hangout for some coffee..and err maybe breakfast?" At the request, her stomach grumbled lightly.
"Sure, sure." He began to laugh and ended their conversation.
She plonked her cell back in her bag, and headed down the spiral staircase and out the door, yet locking it behind her.
Debating on wether to walk..or drive her car she just decided to walk to Riku's, it wasn't too far.
Minutes later, she arrived at his house and before she could even knock, he opened the door and said "Hey, c'mon in."
She walked in and plopped onto the nearest recliner she saw, a creamy tan one, and she sighed heavinly "I love your house, it's so cozy and warm. Where's Marlene?"
Riku's eyes drifted up the staircase and he responded calmly "In her room, I'm guessing she's sleeping or watching t.v." He chuckled and handed Kairi, the single ticket along with an envelope. "This was also in my mail, alittle odd but it's adressed to you."
She glanced at the envelope which read in familiar cursive handwriting 'To: Kairi.' and placed it into her bag, along with the ticket.
Her eyes wandered up the stairs, her thoughts lingering on Marlene.
Marlene was an orphan that was alone mainly all her life, nobody seemed to want to adopt the ten year old girl, that was until Riku who was eighteen years old, and living on his own decided to adopt her. She was happy, and loved Kairi like an older sister.
Kairi suddenly said "Hey, let's invite Marlene with us for breakfast. I'm sure she'd love to go, right?"
Riku blinked gently, and said "Probably. Marlene!" He called loudly up the stairs.
A loud noise was heared and Marlene's soft voice responded "Yeah?"
"Come downstairs a second." He responded.
Soft footsteps pounded the stairs, and when Kairi glanced up, Marlene said "Kai!" and ran to her, hugging her tightly.
Kairi giggled softly and said "Hello sweetie, how're you?"
Marlene shrugged "Good, I s'pose."
Riku's voice calmly said "Would you like to come with Kairi and I for breakfast? She's moving probably near the end of today, to get away from her parents."
Marlene's eyes widened and she said "Oh! Yeah, sure."
Kairi smiled and they all headed out of his house and into a small black car, Riku in the drivers seat, and Kairi slipped into the backseat. Marlene lingered for a bit and then decided to sit in the back with Kairi.
Marlene glanced at Kairi and said "Why do you have to leave? You could live with Riku and I!"
Riku chuckled and said "Yes, Kairi you could! It would be sooo much fun!" He said in a girly voice.
Marlene rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to Kairi who giggled softly placing a hand to her mouth and said "Well I've always dreamed of living in Sunset Terrace, and I can't be a burden on you and charming Riku!"
Marlene giggled softly at Riku's mockingly appalled expression, and he said "I'm charming? Score!"
Kairi kept laughing and said "Since when did you become a child?"
Riku pointed accusingly at Marlene who stared at them both with big soft eyes "M-Me!? I did no such thing!"
They all laughed together, and Riku pulled into a small resturant that they usually always went to, and all of them slipped into the resturant, sitting into a booth in the corner.
A small, thin waitress appeared and asked for their order. Kairi ordered a medium sized coffee, along with some pancakes, bacon, eggs and toast. Riku chuckled and ordered a large coffee, along with some pancakes and bacon.
Marlene gawked at her menu and ordered apple juice, along with the same order as Kairi. The waitress walked off, and Riku sighed "You all are making me broke."
Kairi said softly "I can pay for what I ordered, Riku. It's no problem." Riku frowned and said "Nah, it's my treat."
She shook her head gratefully, and moments later they're food arrived, they all ate and talked about plans for the rest of the year such as places Riku and Marlene would visit. Marlene suggested they'd visit Kairi every single month, and she would laugh.
The plates were cleared and then Riku's cell buzzed, and Marlene giggled and said "Your boss eh?" Riku chuckled and stared at his phone, replying the message with quick movements.
Riku said calmly "Uh, sorry Kai but I need to go to work, immediately. Marlene I have to bring you, a man your age wanted to see you really bed." Marlene's face reddened and Kairi giggled softly and she said "It's fine Riku, I need the walk anyway."
Riku nodded, giving her a tight hug and said "See you soon." Marlene hugged her too, and they left the resturant, Kairi then stood up and left the resturant, her bag swinging at her side.
Suddenly, she remembered the envelope of which Riku had given her, her fingers reached into her bag and she pulled it out, her eyes scanning the whole envelope for anyother writing.
She shrugged soon after, and opened the letter a few things were inside.
The first things she pulled was the letter, then she closed the envelope securely and placed it back into her bag.
She opened the letter gently, and her eyes widened as she read it.
Dear, Kairi.
I hear your moving, safe travels I grant to you.
It must be great to be moving away from something that's held you back all these years, right?
I want you to know, I can't stop thinking about you, it's nerve-racking.
You promised we'd meet again, and now I want to meet you..I just wish you'd remember me.
A charm I've given you to remember our childhood times on Destiny Islands.
A necklace I've made for you, so you can realize now who I've become.
Sincerely,
Keyblader.
Kairi sighed, her bangs running into her eyes as she tilted her head forward, her fingers closing the letter gently. It made no sense whatsoever why this 'keyblader' now wanted to see her. He had all these years, and now when she's moving he decides to make contact? How does he even know all this stuff?
She reached back into her bag, to pull out the envelope, placing the letter back inside, she grabbed the necklace and charm.
The necklace was a light silver chain that shined when brought into the sunlight, near the end was a chain that resemble what looked like a small..key..blade? The blade was silver, and the end was a bright yellow. The necklace, she clasped to her neck and her eyes stared at it, mystically.
The charm was still held tightly in her hand, and as she glanced at her hand, her eyes widened. The charm was made of seashells or percisely, thalassa shells that would provide good luck for travellers. It was sort of a yellow-ish green in the middle and then pink near the end tips. A face was a the top part, with brown what you call, hair.
She did remember this charm, she had made it for that little brunet spiked haired boy she played with when she was little. God, why couldn't she just remember his name? It wasn't that hard..his cerulean eyes flashed in her mind. She sighed, and placed the charm in her front pocket, and threw the envelope into her bag. Her eyes were cast downward as she walked down the street and onto the sideroad to take her back to her house, in what seemed like forever, she finally reached her house and walked inside.
She checked all the rooms to make sure nobody was home, and sure enough nobody was. Her feet dragged themselves upstairs and she began to pull loads of boxes out, and a few hours later she had packed everything she owned in her room into the boxes. She stood and glanced around her room, nothing was in it. The walls were bare, all that remained was her bed. She dragged a few boxes downstairs and loaded them into her car, which was a simple light blue Maybach 62 Zeppelin, than she ran back upstairs to grab the other boxes.
It took her a few rounds to get the boxes and pack them in but she eventually finished. She was debating on wether to bring her bed, and then decided she should just incase she needed it for now. She grabbed her bed and carefully brought it down the spiral staircase..the staircase was making it harder..and the bed was already quite heavy. She giggled softly as she turned it sideways and pulled it out her front door, shoving it carefully into her car, then she realized her matress could fold.
She groaned, folding her matress and placing it in the backseat where it unfolded just slightly. She headed back upstairs to notice she didn't leave anything out. She had packed all the things she need, bathroom things, clothes, just not any food. She shrugged and slipped into her car, heading out of her driveway and onto the road towards Sunset Terrace.
-K&S-
Finally, after driving all day long she eventually reached the house she had been looking for.
It was a small house, it was two stories but it wasn't a huge two story house. On the outside it was a light yellow almost pale color and the roof was a light black. A porch was on the back, with a railing all around. Around four stairs were seated to the front door, and a brown railing was on the stairs. Flowers surrounded the front making it bring out the color of the house. Her house was near Sunset Hill and that made her ecstatic.
Inside the house on the bottom floor it contained a kitchen, bathroom, dining room and a small room for maybe a television and seats. Three stairs trailed down from the small room into what appeared to be a little den for whatever she desired to put there. Upstairs was a bathroom, a room to the left which could be a bedroom, a room to the right for either a bedroom or small library. There was also another room maybe for attic space since there was no attic.
The house was lovely, everything she wanted. Her feet trailed outside where she had a small mailbox to the right of her car. Inside something was, because the little light blue flag was raised. Her eyebrow raised questiongly and she began to drag all her boxes out of her car and into the small room.
Luckily for her the kitchen was stoked up with basic things needed such as a stove, counters, cabinets, pantrys etc. The bathroom contained things like a tiolet and shower. The small room had a television and she blessed the family who left it for her. In the den there was also a small fireplace.
Eventually she had managed to get everything from her car into her house. She pulled the mattress up into the room on the right where she placed it against the window to have a view of the outer city of Sunset Terrace, where the sun always seemed to be stuck on setting.
Collapsing on the mattress she had in her hands a package and envelope from her mailbox. The package was fairly heavy to pick up, so she managed to push it in and up the many stairs with alot of effort.
The packaged laid on her feet but she just left it as she tore open the envelope and some things slipped out. But she read the crumpled letter first.
Dear, Kairi.
If your reading this letter, I assume you got in safely..or maybe your just reading this from outside.
As I said before, I really want to meet you but I can't just yet, I want to get to know you.
Please put inside your mailbox whenever you can and how much you want letters about yourself..I know this may seem alittle creepy, stalkerish even but please trust me.
I've given you a map of Sunset Terrace for safe travels, and a list of everyone in town. It's small but filled with alot of shops and it's even more beautiful during the winter when snow is layed thickly down.
The package, you will I hope be happy, that I've given it to you..
People are keep us apart, but fate is keeping us together.
Sincerely,
Keyblader.
Her heart thumped heavily in her chest. He must've been sweet to had the time to get her a map and a list of everyone in town. She would need it she knew, and she was grateful. Her eyes strayed over to the package where she carefully tore it open.
Inside was lots of things. Money..lots of it, pillows, blankets. Some clothes which looked rather beautiful. A toaster which she giggled at, he seemed sweet and funny. Must've known she liked toast every morning. There was a radio near the bottom and tons of CD's which seemed quite her taste. Her eyes brightened lightly.
Putting the radio on the bedside table she had brought in, she put in a CD and a song strummed in the background, after awhile it ended and she turned the radio off.
Feelings ran throughout her entire body..was there a hint of affection for this mysterious keyblader? Who she knew nothing about.
Feeling slightly hungry she took some money from the package and heading outside of her house, she locked it and placed the key in her pocket. Walking slowly down the road and staring at her map she noticed a small resturant that sold Ramen. She was in the mood for some Ramen. Entering inside she saw a beautiful girl with brown locks and bright green eyes holding hands with a sturdy looking guy with blond hair and chocolate brown eyes.
"Olette for the last time, I don't want anything else besides Ramen!"
A light giggle escaped the said girl and her soft voice responded "Hayner, you silly all you like is Ramen nowadays. Eat something else!"
Hayner rolled his eyes and just then noticed her. "Oi! Rox-"
Someone bumped into her and she stumbled forward to be caught by the wrist. And embarrased looking guy cautiously smiled at her and said "Sorry, I wasn't looking. I was really hungry-" His hair was spiked, and blond his eyes were an alluring shade of blue.
She smiled softly and said "It's alright..I'm new to town, so I'm sorry I was just standing there in the doorway." Roxas's eyes widened and said "Oh! You must be K-" Olette's sharp stare silenced him.
Kairi looked utterly confused but Hayner, bless him broke the awkward silence and said "Hello. I'm Hayner, my girlfriend here - Olette's cheek flushed - is Olette, and that idiot who bumped into you is Roxas..our friend Pence is around her somewhere.." He went off into grumbling.
Kairi giggled softly and said "Hello. My name's Kairi, pleasure to meet you all..so..what is good to eat here?"
All there eyes rested on her and a happy voice piped out from somewhere "The ramen!" Hayner began to laugh, and soon Roxas joined in. Olette shook her head and went back to glancing at the menu.
A chubby boy with brown locks and a camera around his neck arrived and he said "Hi Kairi! Names Pence, nice to meet you to!" Kairi smiled gratefully at Pence and took a seat next to Olette.
Olette smiled brightly at her and said "I could take you shopping tomorrow if you'd like, and we could walk around town and get to know one another." She nodded in agreement and said "Sounds great, I'd love to." Olette said "Meet here than around 10 o'clock?" Kairi nodded and ordered a medium bowl and when it was placed in front of her she began to chow it down hungrily, noodles remained on her face.
Roxas's laugh was heard and he dabbed at the remaining lips on her face with a napkin. Her face flushed..and she felt her chest grow flutterly. After she finished eating she payed, saying goodbye to everyone and as she arrived home, she took a quick shower changing into a purple nightgown that was like a dress yet comfortable and layed a blanket from Keyblader on her bed, and two pillows. She curled up pulling a red blanket on top of her and instantly fell asleep.
Her concious rang through her head as she fell asleep to the peaceful sounds of the crickets, Today was fun. Hopefully tomorrow will be even greater.
A/N: Well, how'd you like this chapter? Told you it'd be longer. :D
