When morning finally came, Riku, Sora, and I set out silently in search of
Ansem. We didn't talk much, but I knew when I got ahead of them, they were
whispering about how I might have killed them, or if this was just some
trap I was leading them into, making that whole scene last night just to
get them to promise to come along. They didn't have to tell me anything; I
just felt their stares, and whispers. I would muffle my tears and sighs, as
they did this. Us three us to be the best of friends in the world where we
could tell each other everything, we trusted each other with our lives, but
now they didn't trust me anymore, they are just afraid I might turn around
and kill them at any moment. They think I don't hear their whispers but I
do.
I stopped walking and turned around and instantly as I did this their hands shot to the hilt of their weapons. They knew I saw them when tears started forming in my eyes. "You are just scared of me now." I started and without thinking I grabbed my locket and disappeared back to the real Destiny Islands.
"I thought they trusted me.that they were my friends.that they would never be scared of me." I sat there, arms around my knees, my face buried in my knees, "But they fear me." Tears continued to fall, streaming down my cheeks. I sat there silently, tears falling down my face, when I heard his voice. It wasn't Ansem's like I thought it would be, but Sora's. My dear friend Sora, he wasn't talking to me as if I were there but through our minds, our hearts. I listened to what he said: "Kairi I'm sorry! So is Riku, its just kind of weird that you of all people are out to destroy Ansem, King of all evil. We thought that it would be me, the Keyblade master, who would destroy him. Please Kairi come back to us. Kairi please." I thought back to him: "Sora, why should I? All you guys do now is stare at me and whisper behind my back, wondering if this is just some trap I'm leading you into, or if I'm going to turn around suddenly and kill you both. I don't want to go back to something like that. I'm basically just alone like I was when I was 14 and returned to the island. I can't go back to something like that. It hurts, I'm sorry but I just don't know." "Please Kairi! You're our best friend and we're sorry," his voice came again. "Fine, I'll come back!" I replied. And so I did. I appeared exactly where I had left. When I returned I was suddenly embraced in a group hug, both Riku and Sora hugging me.
"Get off me!" I yelled, "You expect me to just forgive you like that!"
"But Kairi." They both said together at the same time.
"So how do we find Ansem?" I asked smiling, "Oh you guys take everything so serious!"
They both jumped on me laughing, causing us to fall back on the pavement. I shook my head mumbling: "You crazy boys. you act like your still 14 and 15!" I scrambled to my feet again leaving them lying on the ground.
"Come on we have to get find Ansem. I can't transport to him because he's the King of Darkness and I'm a Princess of Light." I said looking down at them. Seeing their confused faces, I added, "I've already tried, but instead of going to him I was sent to Destiny Islands."
They both nodded, and scrambled to their feet. "Well, where to first?" I asked looking at them. Realizing for the first time how much they had grown. Sora had gotten taller, his hair still cut in the same way, just a little bit longer. He had lost his chubby cheeks, and gotten more muscular. He still had that crazy smile that I remembered so well. His blue eyes still had the same glimmer they had when we were kids.
"We'll why don't we start at the End of the World? He might be there." Riku replied. Riku on the other hand still had the same silver hair hanging loosely at his shoulders. His aqua blue eyes never loosing their glimmer of excitement. He had also gotten taller, about a foot taller than me now, and just about an inch taller than Sora. He still had that priceless smile that he only shared with Sora and me.
"Sounds good to me," Sora replied, placing his hands behind his head.
"Well, you guys better give me your hands then," I said, holding out my hand for them to grab. They did as I said and both grabbed my same hand. I reached up and grabbed my locket. I closed my eyes and thought: Take us to the end of the world! I started feeling sick again, as we started to travel through space. As we hit solid ground again, I opened my eyes looking around. Everything was blurry, I couldn't keep my balance. I dropped my staff, and started falling backwards.backwards.I was.
I stopped walking and turned around and instantly as I did this their hands shot to the hilt of their weapons. They knew I saw them when tears started forming in my eyes.
