Chapter 1: A painful awakening.
Where am I?
"She is waking up." Who said that? I opened my eyes. I was laying in soft sand, and there were people circled around me. My head hurt. I reached up to touch it, even though a lady told me not to. My fingers touched something wet. I looked at my hand. It was covered in water, as were my clothes, and it had a small amont of blood on it. I looked up at the sky. There were some clouds, but the sun was coming out. A streak of lightning flashed in my mind. I gasped.
"Calm down," Someone said, trying to push me back down. He had on a black jacket and also had two or three belts slung over his pants.
"Don't touch me!" I screamed. I stood up and jumped over a woman who had dark hair and bright eyes. I ran down the beach and eventually found myself on a road. I saw a hospital and went in. The man was there. I turned around and sprinted in the other direction. I walked into an inn and waved to the woman who apparently owned it. She smiled warmly at me, until she saw my hair was streaked with blood.
"What happened?" she exclaimed. Without waiting for an answer, she pushed me into another room and shut the door. Then she pulled out a cloth and put some warm water on it. She patted my wound with the towel until it was cleaned up.
"How do you feel now?" She asked.
"A little better," I replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was so worried I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aeris."
"Hello, Aeris. I'm... I am..." Who was I? I couldn't remember. It sounded like... K... K... This was so humiliating!
"You... must've hit your head hard. Do you remember what happened?" The brown haired lady asked, concentrating on my face. The lightning flashed in my mind again, but that was all I could remember.
"I'm sorry... I don't know."
"Well, hopefully we will get to see some of your friends. Maybe some townspeople can help you out. Do you remember if you were with anybody?"
"I remember a flash of lightning... and then all these people surrounding me. But... other than that, I can't recall anything."
"Maybe you should get some rest. I'll make dinner later on, and you can meet my husband. He went to pick our kids up from the beach," Aeris told me. I sighed, realizing I still didn't know who 'me' was. Then a spark of hope lit up in my mind.
"Wait! The beach. I remember being at a beach. I was laying in the sand when I woke up," I said excitedly.
"We'll ask Cloud when he gets in," Aeris offered, straightening out her pink dress.
"Cloud?" I asked, starting to feel kind of stupid.
"My husband," she replied. She went to walk out the door, but then turned around. "The beach? Do you remember if you... came here from somewhere else? And if you had any other people with you?"
"I think, we came here... from some other place. There were two people very important to me, also," I said, thinking hard. "I hope they're alright," I added. Where did that come from? I didn't mean to say that. This brought a surge of acomplishment, although I didn't know why.
"Good! I hope they come here." Aeris smiled.
"Of course they'll come here. This is the best-known inn in the whole of Traverse Town."
"Hello, honey," Aeris said, greeting a blonde haired young man with a boy in one arm and a girl in another.
"This is Cloud." Cloud smiled, and waved. He didn't bother to ask my name, for which I was glad. He gave the little boy to Aeris, who reached for his mother's arms.
"Mommy! Mommy! Naomi and I made a samcastle!" The little boy hugged Aeris and tugged on her hand. He looked like he was only four years old.
"It's called a sandcastle, not a samcastle, Timmy," the girl named Naomi corrected him. Cloud put the young girl on the floor, so she could hug her mother as well. Seeing the little girl embrace Aeris pulled a little envy into my heart. This little girl, though she was only six or seven and I was... older, knew more than me. She knew her name, as well as her family's. She even had a mother and father to look after her. Of these I had none, not even the ability to recall what happened that morning. The lightning flashed again. Ironic, isn't it, that we want so much to grow up, as I assumed I had, but now look at me- I only have the glimpse of a memory that lasted but a split second. I pondered these thoughts until I heard Aeris' voice again.
"Are you going to join us for dinner?" she invited me.
"Yes, I suppose I will." I wondered what I would wear. This led me to an even larger question- what did I look like? I laughed out loud, and Aeris looked at me as if to question my sanity.
"What's so funny?" she asked curiously.
"Just- I just thought, I don't even know what I look like. I'm... I'm still sane, if that's what you're thinking," I said, feeling more and more desperate by the minute. Aeris gave me a knowing smile.
"I think you look pretty," Naomi said. I grinned. Or at least, I think I did.
"Yeah! Pwetty!" little Timmy chimed in.
"Alright. Into the dining room," Aeris told them.
Aeris made a delicious meal, with chicken and potatoes and vegetables. Over dinner, she explained my situation to Cloud. Then she served us this fruit she called a paopu. I tasted a little piece, and nostalgia swept through my mind.
"This fruit, it reminds me of something... something special, from the past," I told her. Her eyes lit up.
"Well, please, help yourself. I have more."
I ate another piece, begging my brain to remember something- anything.
"Well, the sky sure seems to be clearing up," Cloud said off-handedly. The sky...
"Sky... something is very familiar about that, too. Sky, sky... S- so- Wait! It's coming to me. So- ra! Sora! I think I remember him. He was with me today, I think," I told them.
"Sora? We met him, didn't we honey? Years ago." Aeris seemed as though she couldn't remember much about him herself. I ate another piece of paopu.
"Is there anything special about this fruit?" I asked. Something was screaming in my mind about this fruit.
"Why, yes there is, actually. It's supposed to intertwine the destinies of two people if they share it," Aeris said, providing me ample information to retrace a lost memory.
"Let's share a paopu," someone said. Sora? "Okay." That was me, I think. "It's good," the other person commented. "Yeah. Hey, Sora?" I was right! "What?" "I love you."
"Sora and I... shared a paopu. A long time ago, on a beach. I don't know why, I just know," I told the couple.
"Well, I believe Sora had told me he was trying to save the girl he loved, when I talked to him last. He was sealing the keyholes," Cloud informed me.
"Keyholes?" I asked. Aeris put her hands to her head.
"I'll explain everything in the morning," she offered. "Until then, we all need to rest.'' I picked up my plate, ready to take it to be washed, if I remember correctly. Which wasn't very reliable at the moment.
"Oh, no, no, no," Aeris said, taking my plate out of my hands. "The maids will get them." I followed her into the lobby. She sat behind the desk, waiting for business, while I sat on a chair with my legs crossed. I had no idea why I did that, either. I just did it. Then my jaw dropped. A longhaired platinum blonde boy stepped in. His blue eyes landed on me, striking another flash back.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have thought about this. Kairi, thanks." Doing what? Kairi! That was my name! "Hehe. You're welcome," I replied. I was just a girl, still in my early teens.
The boy. The silver hair. His name was... Riku.
"Kairi!" the boy said. He ran over to me and wrapped his arms around me. I gave Aeris a helpless look. This boy seemed so relieved to see me, yet I knew I was going to break his heart with my one question.
"Who... are you?" I asked. The boy looked at me, gazing at me with wonder in his eyes.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, completely confused.
"Are you... R-Riku?" I questioned timidly.
"Yes. That would be me, Riku, the boy you've know since you were five years old. Me." Riku pointed to himself as if he thought I couldn't speak English.
"Yes, yes. Okay. I'm sorry. I...don't remember much about anything... Not even my own name. But seeing you helped me to remember it." I looked happily at Aeris. "It's Kairi."
"What do you mean, you don't remember anything?" Riku looked at me as if he couldn't believe he was standing in the lobby of the inn, as if he didn't believe this was happening. He saw my hair.
"I hit my head. I think. But I do remember being on a beach, with people everywhere."
"Aeris, what is going on here?" he asked Aeris. She shrugged.
"Your guess is as good as mine." She looked hopelessly at Riku.
"Wait. Kairi, do you remember anything about a storm? Or a boy named Sora?" Riku searched my face. I knew somehow that this boy- who was hardly a boy- cared about me alot, and it pained me to hurt him just by not knowing what happened to me. A storm? The lightning flashed. Sora? The paopu.
"Yes, I remember lightning. I remember Sora, I think. B-brown. Brown hair." I stumbled over my words, trying to sound truthful and not so hopeful.
"Yes. Sora. And the storm, well... We have to find Sora." Riku looked at me with urgency in his eyes.
"Find him? Why? What happened to him?" I asked the questions quickly, trying to sound as though I was worried (which I was, for a reason I didn't know) and not stupid.
"We were on a raft. We were only about a mile away from the shore."
"We're only about a mile away," "I can't wait!"
"Yeah... I remember."
"Then the sky got all dark. We tried to get to shore, but then lighting struck the water. You went under really fast, and neither Sora or I could get you. We were just about drowning ourselves," Riku said, his turquiose eyes misty in recollections. "Sora was really fed up with himself- we both thought... you were gonna die. I'd never seen him try so hard for anything. But you had disappeared in the water, so he got back up and paddled to shore. At least, I think he did. Really soon after I was on my way in swimming, it got all foggy. I couldn't see more than a few feet ahead of me. When I got to the shore, I just laid there, exhausted. I fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later, and I figured I would look for you and Sora. I found you, I just hope Sora's okay."
"I'll come back for you! I promise!" "I know you will!"
"Me, too," I said, once again on impulse, not knowing why I said it. Sora loved me. I knew it. I started to remember everything, although my thoughts were thick with blank spaces. I felt like I was in the middle of a mystery, like a puzzle. I knew little things, but I needed to fit the rest of the pieces in.
"Why don't we talk more in the morning? We could both use some rest." I nodded, and Aeris showed Riku and I to our rooms. Our seperate rooms, I noticed.
"Something wrong?" Aeris asked. I shook my head and thanked her for the meal and all her help. She gave me one of her nightgowns, for which I was eternally grateful, and shut my door. I changed out of my damp clothes and layed down on the bed. I drifted off into sleep almost immediately.
"Welcome to the Island." "I told you, I don't remember." "Soon, Kairi, soon." "Sora, you lazy bum. I knew I'd find you out here." "One, two, three, go!" "Kairi!" "Sora! You came back, just like you promised." "I can't wait to leave the island." "I'll remember you. Always, Sora. Always."
I woke up to the sunlight streaming through the window of the room. I pondered my dreams. Had they all been memories of my life? I recalled telling Sora I'd remember him. I was never a liar. Or was I? I hoped not. But I couldn't even keep my promise to Sora. The one I loved. I think.
There was a knock on my door.
"Come in," I called. Aeris brought in a breakfast of eggs and toast with butter. There was also a bowl of jelly and a glass of fresh orange juice.
"It's nothing special, but I figured you might want to have some time to think."
"Thanks, Aeris. You've been so much help and so patient."
"I have to." She looked very seriously out the window, and I wondered what she was thinking.
"Why?" I asked. She didn't answer, but she just stood up.
"I hope you enjoy your meal," she told me. She shut the door on her way out.
A few minutes later, there was another knock on my door. Aeris came in. In her hand was my clothes from yesterday.
"Oh, Aeris. You didn't have to do that."
"Well, I felt bad that I didn't give you clothes earlier. So I washed your outfit," she told me. I realized this was another kindness, but I just smiled. She left.
About five minutes after that, there was a third knock on my door. I thought for a minute.
"Come in, Aeris." Riku walked in instead.
"Wrong," he told me, smiling. I hadn't seen him smile yet. I loved it. I giggled, and then I realized I liked his sense of humor, too. I couldn't believe it, but I thought I was falling for Riku. But what about Sora?
"Well? When?" he asked me.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about um, er, um... other things. What were you asking me about?" I smiled at Riku.
"I said, when do you want to find Sora?" he repeated.
"Um, why don't we look for him... um once we are ready after.... um, breakfast?" I wondered if I was a leader before. I wondered... if I had liked Riku before.
"That's great," he replied. He smiled at me before he left. The second he shut my door, my face broke into a brilliant smile. He was so sweet... I wished I could've remembered more about him. (Of course, I had forgot all about his trip to the darkness...) I wondered if, maybe... he had liked me?
I climbed out of bed and picked up my outfit. It was a longsleeved pink top with a short black skirt. I had a lace choker and black boots. I recalled something about a pink bow, but I didn't remember much. So I took a pink ribbon out of the curtain holders. I braided my long hair and tied it with the ribbon. Then I saw myself for what seemed to be the first time in a full length mirror. I liked what I looked like, and I was pleased with the braid and outfit. I went into the hall to see if Riku was ready when I heard something outside. I ran back in and looked out my window. There was a little black thing crawling around and a boy attacking it with a weapon that resembled a key. The boy had brown hair. Suddenly, with a start, I realized the truth. Sora.
* * * * * * * Yeah, I know. Traverse Town doesn't really have a beach. But in this story it does, ok?! Also there is no longer a hotel, but an Inn. Aeris' inn. Let me know how I'm doing, k? Reviews are very welcome...
