Island Days - XI
A/N: Sorry this took so long, but things got a little crazy for a while.
Some days, Kairi wonders about Sora. The brunette was…different. Not in a bad way. He was just…Sora. Not that that was bad, like she'd already said. She just…couldn't exactly place him.
Whenever she met someone she was good at judging whether or not she could trust him, even so, it usually took her a moment or two…but not with Sora. The second she saw Sora she knew she could trust him with anything.
And for some reason, that scared her. Here was a boy who she barely knew and he had her whole-hearted trust. But…Sora wasn't like any other boy. He was…Light. Just…Light. His eyes shone with it, just like his smiles and laughs. He was her first friend on Destiny Islands. He showed her the best places to play and swim; to hide when they placed hide and seek; the best vendors for food and ice cream; and he showed her the Secret Place.
The Secret Place scared her. She knew that someday, somehow, something was going to happen here, and she and Sora would be neck deep in whatever it was. Even so, she went in with Sora and Riku and played games of adventure where the two boys were heroes and she a princess (years later, after Sora and Riku finally, finally, come home, she figures that she should have had some sense of foreboding about the Secret Place. Now its anther part of their adventures).
So, as the years pass by, Kairi settles on calling Sora her Light. It was surprisingly accurate, and so, the day before they were set to leave on the raft, as she and Sora were sitting on the dock, she said, "Sora, don't ever change."
Ta-da! Let me know what you think.
