--Leaving all ready..?--
-------
Wait! I'll be freaking out all day if I don't fix this: Chapter 1...after Wedge screams in Kairi's ear it says "It was a miracle she could her at all after that assault!" But it's suppose to say 'hear' ......*pout* ...I didn't catch that in time, dang it! _ To those who figured it out and moved on in life...thank you-! *bear hug*
**Disclaimer** Blah blah blah, don't own Kingdom Hearts... blah blah..
Oh! And thank you so much for reviews! It went straight to my head and made me feel speeeecial. ^_^

Finally. A day off all to herself. Kairi laid out her favorite outfit on her bed and examined it: Her favorite pinky skirt, the white tank top, and black sleeveless that goes underneath it. "Uh oh..I'm missing something..." Kairi looked to her left where her desk was. A moogle plushy holding all of her necklaces was perched right next to her alarm clock.
She grinned big and acted like she was stalking the moogle.
"Hee hee! I see you there..!" Kairi raised her hands up, fingers curled, and pounced the little plush. "I'll take that, thank you!" She nodded twice in victory while tossing her favorite necklace- a simple charm tied to a black string- from hand to hand.
"All right! Let's get going!"
The best thing about today was that no uniform was necessary! And only a week until Sora's birthday. Every time Kairi thought about giving him his present, she'd grin really big and chuckle like she was insane. At least that's what her mom told her when she showed it to her at dinner last night.
As Kairi reached for the door knob to exit her house, she heard her mom calling her. "Kairi! Wait a second, dum dum!" She stopped and turned to see what her silly mom wanted from her.
"Moooom..." Kairi rolled her eyes, "I haven't seen my friends forever! Hurry! What is it?" She hopped from one foot to the other as the anxiousness began to build up.
The soft foot steps of her mom could be heard coming down the hallway; She was carrying a large load of laundry and for a second Kairi feared she'd spend her day folding towels instead of playing with Sora.
"Will you be at the island all day?" Her mom asked, pulling out one of her dad's undershirts and folding it neatly.
"Huh..? Yeah..that's the plan, at least." Kairi responded, still hopping from one foot to the other. "Mooooooom...!" Being held back like this made Kairi want to just do a back flip!
"Okay okay!" Her mom raised her hands in defense, "Geez. I just want you home before it gets too dark. And remember to have your friends walk with you to our house. Promise?"
"Mm!" Kairi's hair bounced as she gave a big nod to her mom. "All right then, I'll see you later!" She turned around and swung open the door.
It was a big risk, but Kairi brought Oath Keeper with her wherever she went. There was no way she'd risk losing it in her room. All she had to do was tuck it in her skirt and Sora would never notice. That's what she hoped, at least.
"Aaah..! The island! Finally, I have arrived." Kairi's announcement was loud and cheerful; her boat bumped against the dock, causing her to sway. "Steadyyyy..." Kairi balanced herself and made a quick jump to land before she splashed into the ocean water below.
"Oh my gosh...Kairi...! Is that really you??"
Kairi turned away from tying her boat and was face to face with the lovable Selphie. "Hey Selphie!" Kairi smiled and made a cute little face like this: ^_^ "I know..I finally have a day off, isn't that great?"
The other girl in the short yellow dress nodded and cheered, "Yaaay! Kairi's back everyone! And she wasn't eaten by monsters, Tidus!" Selphie turned around, forcing Kairi to duck from the flailing jump rope that was over one of her shoulders.
After a brief reunion with Wakka, Tidus and Selphie, everyone went their separate ways to continue what they were doing. "Hey wait, Kairi!" Selphie held onto her hand, preventing her from escaping. "Do you want to hang out? We could play jump rope- I even learned a few new tricks while you were gone!" Kairi couldn't help but smile at her friend's kind-hearted nature. "Mmm..well...I..." She never could find it in herself to reject someone's invitation-- she just wasn't very good at it, "Uh...wait for a few minutes, okay? I need..to tell something to Sora- his mom told me to tell him, that is..- okay..?"
Ugggh...What a horrible fib. She was never good at that either.
Selphie blinked a few times and let go of her hand. "Huh? Sure! I'll just be waiting around here, okay?" She flashed Kairi a reassuring smile and trotted away to continue playing jump rope.
"Oh wait-!" Kairi waved at Selphie to get her attention, "Have you seen that bum around here?"
Kairi's friend looked back at her and pointed to the island that the paupou grew on. "He's been there, talking to Riku. They haven't left there forever!" She gave Kairi a slight shrug. "I dunno. Go get them and bring them back to reality!"
"Hee hee. Will do!" She gave Selphie a quick salute and plodded in the sand towards the island. "Won't they be surprised to see that I'm actually here."
The bridge creaked and rattled when Kairi ran across it. As she neared the island, Kairi wished for a split second that Riku wouldn't be there. She slowed down her pace when she realized what she wished for. "That's. . .not nice. I don't mean it like that. . ." Kairi thought sadly. . some what disappointed in herself.
Her gaze lifted and she saw the two best friends lying on the grassy parts of the small island. Looks like they hadn't noticed her yet.
With each foot step that brought her closer, more thoughts flooded into her head. The same thoughts that she would think late at night when she was all by herself. It was silly, but it seemed like a more serious side of her would magically appear at night.
"They're childhood friends. Sora has known him a lot longer than me. . .I have no right to even begin to -think- about Riku not being in the picture." Kairi smiled sadly and poked at her necklace a few times. "Besides. . ." She explained to herself in her head, "Riku is fun to be with! Just like Sora." A chuckle escaped from Kairi's lips; it was loud enough to get the two boy's attention. Both of them looked lazily from their spots. "Huh..? Wow, Kairi! You're here!" Sora shot up with a big grin on his face.
Kairi took a deep breath, forcefully pushing any negative feelings away. "Yup! I'm here! So what'cha guys up to?" She asked in her most pleasant and curious voice. Her hands rested behind her and she tilted forward, cocking her head to the side.
The two friends glanced at each other for a second. Sora however, beat Riku to explain to Kairi. "Guess what..! We're gonna leave the island and see what's out there!"
Kairi blinked. "Huh? Leaving?"
Sora nodded big, "Mm-hm! We're making a raft and leaving in a few days."
