"Kairi..? Sweety, where are you?" Kairi's mom called out to the darkness of the backyard. "Come on inside, you're going to get eaten by mosquitoes!"
The door closed with a creak and Kairi was alone again. She didn't want to go back in. She needed time to think.
"Leaving. . .the island. . ."
A jagged rock bounced off the ground and tumbled to a stop next to a small pile of other rocks. Kairi sat on the grass, leaning against the weather- worn fence. Beside her laid Oath Keeper. In the moonlight, it glowed a beautiful but eerie ivy color. The scribbled on face smiled like all ways. "That means I'll leave home.." She raised her gaze to the small but cozy house that her mother and father lived in. "..But. . .if I go with them, I might find my real parents, right?" Kairi's head dropped back down to stare at the ground. "And I can't just leave Sora. I may never see him again.." With each heart beat, a pulsing sensation of pain went through out her body. "I can't lose him. I have to be there no matter what.but I'm afraid."
"Don't worry Kairi.." Kairi remembered Sora saying this when she questioned the adventure. He chuckled when he said that.. it reassured her for some reason. "..we can all ways come back. And I'll - -me and Riku will be there to protect you. So don't worry." He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder to comfort her- - even now, in the cold night, Kairi could still feel his warmth.
Once again Kairi picked up a small rock and tossed it. "What will I say if I do find my real mom and dad..?" She hesitated. "I guess..I can't worry about that now." Kairi reached down and picked up her star. "-I'll worry about it when it happens. And going on an adventure..sounds like fun."
The backdoor once again opened. "Kairi! Come inside now! I'm serious, young lady!"
"Uh.. okay mom." With a grunt Kairi raised herself to her feet and tucked the star back in her skirt. "I'll have more time to get myself prepared."
It would take a few days, but the trio would start collecting everything for the trip tomorrow. The hasty planning scared Kairi a bit. The days would go by so quickly and before she knew it, she'd leave everything behind.
"Well, not everything. I'll have Sora- - and Riku. They'll both be there." As the scared side of Kairi and the adventurous side debated, she stared out at the window of her room at the stars. . . . . She blinked and thought she saw something..weird. "Is that star. . .going out??" Kairi's mouth made an 'o' shape while she watched a perfectly healthy star begin to fizzle out of existence. "Oh no! The poor thing.." Her lips pouted. "Wonder why it died.."
With a heavy sigh, Kairi fell back on her bed. The sheets were cool and inviting on such a warm night. Once again Kairi did a funny sounding giggle and curled up in her bed-- The next few days would be busy ones. A lot of rest will be needed to build a raft! "That reminds me. I have to tell Ms.Biggs about my plans.hope she won't be too disappointed." Just as Kairi finished that thought, she yawned while stretching her legs up in the air- - then letting them plop back onto the bed.
For the first time in a while, Kairi forgot about her present to Sora; instead she fell asleep quickly and dreamt nothing but utter darkness.

Quick.
Poor Kairi. She's scared of change. (
Updating stories is a pain- it's just that I have to make a chapter before my brother gets home and starts playing EverQuest. Once he gets on, it's impossible to get him off. Does anyone else have to deal with that? *Sigh!!*
More to come! Cool chapter, next. Promise.
