What's gone is gone...or is it?
A/N: First fanfic ever. I've read a lot but this is my first actual attempt at
writing one. Please, no flaming since I'm just a newb, but constructive criticism
is much appreciated as well as any suggestions and requests.
Anyhow, R and R!

Prologue: ...and let there be light!
A girl sat on the warm sand of the Destiny Island beaches. The grains ran
between the straps of her flip-flops and irritated her toes as the cool, ocean wind
blew her long violet hair behind her. She gently sighed as the waves splashed across
her legs and stole the sand from her heet and shoes. These were the types of days
she lived for. The perfect weather withnot a cloud in sight and the welcoming sun
seemed to becon for her.
Two strong arms gently wrapped themselves around her torso as she felt
someone press against her back. Warm breath tickled the curve her neck and the girl
sighed in enjoyment. She could stay this way forever, the lean arms holding her,
their body pressed against her back. Yet for some reason, she was not satisfied, not
completely fulfilled. She turned around to see who it was behind her to see who the
mysterious hugger was. But...there was no one there, only air where there should
have been a person or at least a body and arms. But there was nothing. Nothing at
all.
Suddenly, the peaceful scene vanished leaving her in total and consuming
blackness, where not a sliver of light vould be found. Except one. A tiny pinpoint,
barely visible in the dark world she had just entered. She tried to move toward it,
running and running but seemingly never getting any closer. For an eternity the girl
seemed to run. Finally, in one last exhausted breath, she collapsed, panting heavily
as her eyes drooped from weariness. She tried to get back up, but her body felt like
an iron weight. At last, she fainted; her body swallowed up by the darkness. But
whereas this girl has slept, another will awake. As the girl was sucked into the
darkness, she murmured one last word
"Kairi...Kairi...KAIRI!"
"Wha...Huh...I'm awake!" she gasped as she was shocked from her fitful
slumber.
"Hurry up! Breakfast is done you have an appointment to keep, remember?"
the voice yelled again.
"Yeah, Ok!" she hollered back. All her memories came rushing back to her.
Kairi. 19 years old, living on Destiny Island, one of the smallest ones in the
Chocoboco Islands, attending Highwind University as a sophomore, and captain of their
blitzball squad. A regular teenage girl if there ever was one. Except for one thing.
Her two most valued childhood friends had been missing for almost 3 years now. Ever
since their inexplicable dissapperarance,her life seemed so dark and dreadful, where
she would hate waking up everyday and facing the world, almost to the point she wanted
to kill herself. Even, with the promise that Sora would come back, she just couldn't
live her life anymore, not well anyway. She's found refuge in alchohol and smoking,
the former of which no one except her and her roomate knows about.
The dream she continues to have doesn't help her either, as it is exactly the
same every time, never changing even once in all the times she's had it, except this
time. There was a light in this one, although how small and insignificant, there was
a light, and she ran towards it. What does it mean? she wondered.
"Come on! We don't have all day" the voice shouted again, snapping her out
of her thoughts.
"OK already! Geez..." She responded gruntingly, as she climbed out of bed,
took a swig of the beer on her bedside table, and got dressed in what she hoped to be
some clean clothes.
She slothed into the kitchen of her dorm, where her roomate was happily
munching on toast while reading the headlines. As Kairi made herself known, her
roomate looked up over her paper and gave her an appraisng look.
"Aren't you just the little morning flower?" she asked, her voice dripping
with sarcasm. Kairi responded with a disaprovving look, which was aknowleged only
with a laugh, and shuffled into the kitchen, grapping another beer from the fridge as
she went to sit by her friend at the table.
"Mornin' Selphie." she mumbled ina dead monotone.
"And good morning to you, too" Selphie replied, still overly cheerful and
energetic, a bleak contrast to her longtime friend who was siiting at the table
picking at her scrambled eggs with evident disinterest. "Are you OK?" she asked.
"Fine, just fine, aside from the massive hangover I'm experiencing, that is"
"You're lying. You had the dream again didn't you?"
Kairi's face flickered surprise for a second but quickly returned to her
normal, indifferent demeanor.
"No. I haven't had it for a while now." She lied.
"Whatever" was all she got back.
But Selphie knew. That was clear to all the occupants of the room. Even the
third one. The one the other two never realized was there.
