Letter: G
Pairing: Roxas/Kairi
Title: Grateful
As I walk home from school that day, I can't help but feel like something is off. I don't quite feel like I normally have. I feel like something is going to happen today to help me remember that boy I keep vaguely remembering. The boy that used to play with me and Riku on the islands. I can't remember anything about him. I can't remember his voice, his looks, his clothes. All I can remember about him is that I know him. I keep having these dreams about him, but they don't help me at all. In my dreams he speaks, but I can't hear him. In my dreams I can see him, but he's all blurred out. All I can see of this boy is the basic outline of him, like a shadow. I can tell that he's taller than me, he looks like he's wearing a jacket and some pants that are baggy-like, and that his hair is very spiky, but that's all I can remember about this boy.
"Kairi! Wait up!" Selphie calls out to me.
I turn around to see a friend from school wanting to walk home with me. It would be nice to have some company with her. She finally catches up and I give her a few seconds to catch her breath. She then seems good to go and we continue walking. Letting the warm sun hit our skins as we headed home from a long day at school.
"Hey, do you feel like going out to the islands? Tidus and Wakka are all wrapped up in their ball game, and they won't go with me." Selphie explains to me.
"Not today, sorry." I tell her, the boy still on my mind.
"Aw, why not?"
"Do you remember those boys who used to hang out with us?" I ask her, wanting to see if she remembers the boy too.
"Riku?"
"Yeah."
"I wonder whatever happened to him? I sure miss him."
"He's far away, but I know we'll see him again." I tell her as I look up into the sun setting sky.
"Sure! Of course we will!" She reminds herself enthusiastically
"And the other boy?" I ask her once more.
"What other boy?" She asks, quite confused.
"The one who was with Riku and me all the time. We played together on that island. His voice always used to be there, but now it's gone. I can't think of his face or his name. I feel awful about it. So I told myself, im not going to the islands until I remember everything about him." I tell her and myself the promise I had made.
"Are you sure you didn't make him up?"
I look at her and give her a nod. I know I didn't make this boy up. He has to be real, he just has to.
"Namine?" A boy's voice says out of nowhere.
Soon after this boy's voice appears, my head starts to really hurt. I grab my head to stop the pain, only to find that I blank out.
"Namine, what's happening to me?" The voice asks me.
"Who are you? And that's not my name, im Kairi." I ask, enchanted by this boy's voice.
"Kairi, I know you. Your that girl he likes."
"Who? Please, a name."
"Im Roxas."
"Okay, Roxas, but can you tell me his name." If I can find out my friend's name, then maybe he can help me find this boy. The one im talking to right now.
"You don't remember my name. Thanks a lot, Kairi." Another boy's voice says.
"Oh!" I gasp.
"Okay, I guess I can give you a hint. Starts with an S."
After that, the two male voices disappear and I come back. Apparently, I had fainted for a few minutes. Though it didn't feel like a few minutes. It felt like a few seconds.
"Are you okay?" Selphie asks.
I give her a reassuring nod and she helps me. She brushes the dirt off of my skirt so that I wouldn't worry my parents when I got home. I can't help but feel so happy now. I now know his name. The boy that im friends with, I know his name. Not only that, but I really want to meet the other boy I was talking to. Roxas was his name. I want to know where he is and why he helped me. I look at the islands and I feel my face light up with joy. I turn to Selphie and give her another smile and I run home to do what I've been meaning to do.
After picking up the letter and bottle from my house, I run back outside to see Selphie still walking down the hill. She sees me and she starts to run towards me. I run to the beach to do what I've been meaning to do all this time. I have to do it now because I remembered the boy's name. Along with knowing the other boy's name. Roxas. I'll write him a letter tomorrow.
"Kairi..." Selphie says in a concerned tone.
I look out to the sun before finally decided that the ocean is ready for my surprise. I kneel to the ground to reach into my bag. I search through it to find the bottle I had dropped inside, and once I did, I gave it a long hard look. I wished it luck quietly to myself and I carefully put it in the ocean. I stand back up as I watch it drift out to sea.
"What's that?" Selphie asks.
"A letter. I wrote it yesterday. To the boy I can't remember. I said that no matter where he is, I'll find him. One day. And when I stopped writing, I remembered we'd made a promise. Something important. This letter is where it starts I know it." I tell her.
"Wow, I hope he gets it." She says in a worried voice.
"He will." I reply to her comment. I look back up into the sky to smile at it. Knowing that he might be up in some other world. "Starts with an S. Right, So-ra?"
I stand there awhile longer. To get some time to think. Selphie spent some time with me to make sure that I was alright, and after checking my head for a temperature, she heads for home. I can't leave now. Not after finding out so much today. My friend Sora, I remember him. The memories of us together are starting to come back. And, that makes me so happy. I feel like a big weight has lifted off my shoulders, but another weight is on them now. I have to find Roxas. The boy who helped me remember my friend. I want to meet him, to befriend him, to maybe find out if he felt something when he and I talked. When I was knocked out, I was in darkness. No picture of the boy that was talking to me at all. But from what I've heard, I can somehow get a picture of what he looks like. I bet he has light hair, maybe blonde or light brown. I also think that he has big blue eyes. I bet he's my age too. He sure sounded like it. And I know that he lives on another world, and that he has to know my friend. So when Sora gets back, I'll ask him to take me to Roxas. So I can meet and chat with him. So I can thank him and tell him that im so glad that he helped me remember my friend and our promise. I might even have a crush on Roxas, but im not sure. But what I do know is this. Im so grateful that Roxas helped me.
Hello again! Letter G is down for the count! Yay! Anyway, I know this chapter was based on Sora at first, but Roxas got some screen time. And when did Roxas and Kairi ever talk except for this one time and at the end of the game. But, how awkward is it to express love in front of, like, six other people while Heartless are climbing up the castle. Very im guessing. So anyway, I hoped you enjoyed it and if it sucked im sorry. So review pwease!
