Chapter 2: Getting to Know Ke'Ania
Sora's P.O.V.
When Riku and I woke up, we ate breakfast, showered, and got dressed before my Mom picked up Kairi. Once we had Kairi, we went to visit that girl at the hospital. We asked the receptionist where her room was and she escorted us there. When I entered the room, my eyes wondered to the figure lying on the bed. Her flawless caramel skin glistened in the rays of the sun that filled the room. Her long sandy brown hair was spread on the pillow and framed her face nicely. Her slender fingers were laced together and rested on her stomach. Her long black eye lashes gently brushed against her skin. It wasn't until I rounded her bed, that I noticed her ears were pointed and had piercings that went along the shape of them and her nails were a little longer and sharper than most girls'. Her form gave a sleeping appearance, but there was a slight doubt in my mind that her form's appearance was true. "Do you think she's dead?" Kairi asked.
"I don't know." Riku replied as he stepped beside me and stared at her. "Do you think we should check her pulse?"
"I don't think she's dead." I replied.
"Why Sora?" Kairi asked.
"Because the receptionist would have told us if she was." I theorized.
"Sora's right. Maybe she's just sleeping." Riku said.
"But what if she didn't know? Why don't you check Sora?" Kairi nervously asked as she hid behind Riku. I nodded as I reached towards her. Right before I was about to touch her, something shocked me. I hissed as I withdrew my hand. "Sora! Are you alright?" Kairi asked.
"I'm fine, but I think something shocked me." I replied.
GROAN
We all turned our heads to see that her body started to move. Her eyes fluttered open, but this time they were brown. "I could've sworn they were white the first time and orange the second." Once her eyes were fully open, she slowly sat up and put a hand on her head.
"Don't strain yourself." Kairi said as she tried to help the girl sit up.
"Who are you guys?" She asked us.
"My name's Kairi. This is Riku, and I don't know how, but you already know Sora."
She looked at me for a minute before she shook her head. "I don't know him."
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Where are you from?" I asked and again she shook her head.
"I don't remember."
"Maybe she has amnesia." Riku theorized.
"I don't know. I remember my name, age, birthday. I remember everything except where I came from and how I got here." She said with sadness in her voice.
"Hey Riku? Do you think that she's just like Kari?" I asked my best friend.
"Maybe." He replied.
"What's going on?" She questioned.
"You see when I first came to this place, I was just like you. I remembered everything except how I got here and where I came from, but thanks to Sora and Riku I wasn't alone." Kairi said with a smile as she sat on the edge of the bed and put a hand on the girl's shoulder. The girl let out a small smile.
"Hey." I said, catching the attention of everyone in the room. "What's your name?"
"Ke'Ania."
"Well Ke'Ania could you tell us what you do remember?" Riku asked.
"My last memories were feelings. I remember having a falling sensation. Then I remember being engulfed in darkness, being warm, being engulfed in light, being cold and wet and then warm again." Ke'Ania said with confusion in her eyes.
"That's it?" Kairi asked.
"Well I think I'm started remembering…" She stopped for a minute before she practically jumped out of her hospital bed. "Raven! Saedi!" Something in her snapped and then she grabbed hold of my shoulders and started shaking me. "WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS?" She yelled with tears in her eyes. The strange thing was that her brown eyes wet from brown to red and blue and her canines were longer than most peoples'.
"Ke'Ania calm down!" Kairi said as she tried to calm her down. Tears stared to spill from her eyes and her shakes started to slow and lose power. "Ke'Ania! No one came with you! You were alone!" Kairi shouted.
Ke'Ania's eyes turned towards Kairi, now completely blue and wide. "What did you say?"
"When you came to the island… you were alone." Kairi whispered in a sad voice. Her eyes flicked from Kairi to Riku and then to me. It was if asking each of us to confirm, what Kairi had said was true. After I nodded, she lowered her head, her grip loosened, and her head leaned into my chest.
"Who are Rave and Saedi Ke'Ania?" Riku asked.
"… … They are my best friends. They've been with me since I was seven and I don't know how, but we got separated… and now that they're gone… I don't know what to do." Ke'Ania sobbed into my chest. I couldn't help, but to hug the frail girl. Strangely enough it felt right.

After our visit to the hospital we walked back with our heads hung low. The receptionist told us that because they know nothing about her and because she has no parents, she'll be put into an orphanage. We wanted to help, but we didn't know what to do… that is until I got an idea. "Hey Kairi?"
"Huh?" She replied.
"What about your Dad?" I suggested.
"That's a great idea Sora. Since Kairi's adopted too, why not ask if your Dad can take Ke'Ania too. I mean you always wanted a sister right? Well what about Ke'Ania?" Riku convinced.
"It's worth a shot. Come on. I need to find Daddy." She cheered. We ran towards her Dad's office to explain everything.
Normal P.O.V.
After the kids told Kairi's Dad, the Mayor, the situation, he was overjoyed. The kids and Kairi's Dad went to the hospital and adopted Ke'Ania. She had a smile on her face as Kairi delivered the good news. They took her shopping, made the guys carry all the bags, bought her a 'K' necklace, and went home to decorate her room. "I'm really happy about what these people are doing for me, really, but I can't help but feel sad. Nothing feels right without my two best friends here by my side. I just hope they're alright."
