"But there's no gate to there!"
"Then we'll be the first to make one."
"You're talking about a jump! That's.that's.there isn't even a word for how ludicrous that is! We could come out anywhere!!! Even the End of the World! Or worse yet.the Heartless' home world! What then, I ask you?! The odds of coming out at Mickey's castle are.billions to one!"
"Listen Yuffie, I know it sounds crazy. But I met someone on the street who'll pay money for someone to test a prototype navigator. They think they've found a way to navigate in hyperspace. All we need to do is report back whenever to say if it worked or not."
"And who might this godsend be?"
"One of the kapos. He's a bit of an outcast, but I think his idea could work."
I sit up then. I'm tired of listening and not helping.
"Listen.I'm sorry I did that. It was stupid of me," I apologize.
Leon turns to me and bends down on one knee, taking my hand in his.
"Kiru, it wasn't your fault. You acted bravely, even though it was a bit blindly. We're grateful for your help. What you did helped up to do something we thought we could never do!"
"What's that?" I ask.
"We cleared the Second District of all Heartless! The sheer shock of having one of their own attack its own team must have scared them off. Now it's safe for the townsfolk to live there again!" he exclaims.
I nod, then seem puzzled.
"How do you know my name? I don't think I ever told it to you."
"The Crystal Heart potion a long while back. You seem to black out an awful lot," Sora comments. It's the first time he's said anything for awhile now.
"Well, now that it's settled that we're going to make this insane jump to Mickey's palace, I suppose we'd better map out the course." Yuffie pulls out the map that we had bought together. It seems so long ago that we entered that store.
She unwraps it and places the framed picture on the table. We gather around and look in wonder at all the worlds it describes.
"Look!" Sora exclaims. "Here's a jungle planet.and some weird garden planet.and this one looks really creepy! What's with the jack-o-lantern?"
Yuffie brushes off his comments. "We're looking for Traverse Town and Mickey's castle. Keep your mind on the goods, Sora."
We quickly find both points.and are astonishingly amazed at how close they are! It seems that if a pathway existed between the two - so says Yuffie - that it would only take a ten-minute trip to reach either point from the opposite starting world.
"OK, so all I have to do is go accept that navigator and rent a gummi ship. Easy said, easy done." Leon walks out to retrieve both items.
Yuffie watches him go and then turns to me.
"What do you say we search for your home world, Kiru?"
I nod in agreement and we begin scouring the map for any sign of a water planet.
Yuffie points out a small blueish dot on the map and looks at the key.
" 'This is the past sight of the Destiny Islands, now destroyed'," she reads off. "Did your planet explode when you left it?" she asks me.
Sora pipes up sadly. "No.mine did. That was my world."
"Oh." Yuffie and I are silent for a moment, then resume looking.
"Here's something promising," Sora states, pointing at a watery blue planet with one small green dot in the middle.
" 'Riverfall Island'," he reads. " 'A tropical world consisting of a single island in the middle of an entire planet of water. The "Riverides" there are said to resemble humans; they have a tanned exterior with alter- colored eyes and dark hair. Known for their curiosity and energetic disposition. No known Heartless'."
The description jogs something in my brain. Green, sparkling eyes again, and black, spiky hair. Diko, I think. That's the boy I'm always thinking of.
" 'Alter-colored eyes'?" Sora inquires.
"Strangely colored. Not brown, blue or green. Usually other colors of the rainbow, like orange, yellow, red-."
"Or purple?" Sora comments, looking at me.
Yuffie examines my eyes.
"Now that you mention it.I've never seen anyone with purple irises before.and I've seen a lot of strange folk."
"Are they really that strange?" I ask, sort of embarrassed.
She quickly takes it back. 'Oh no! They're just.unique.that's all!" she grins, unsure.
I shuffle my feet.
"Then we'll be the first to make one."
"You're talking about a jump! That's.that's.there isn't even a word for how ludicrous that is! We could come out anywhere!!! Even the End of the World! Or worse yet.the Heartless' home world! What then, I ask you?! The odds of coming out at Mickey's castle are.billions to one!"
