Chap. 5 (Kairi)

"Come outside, Kairi! Please!" Pleaded a fair skinned child named Selphie.

"Not today, Selphie....maybe tomorrow."
"Oh, alright." She waved and left, leaving Kairi alone, once again, in the secret place. It had been 3 months since she had last seen Sora or Riku and the emotional strain was finally effecting both her mental and psychical self. She had stopped eating and sleeping, waiting for the moment Sora and Riku were to return. Mornings, she would watch the sun rise, seeing Sora's glimmering smile. Afternoons, Riku's soft skin. And nights, Sora and Riku's dark sides that were reclaimed by light. Each star in the night sky, another reason for the boys to return. Each morning ray of light, a faint glimmer of hope. In her heart, she believed that they would return, but her mind was telling her different. "Foolish girl!" It would mock her. "They are both dead!" But the reassuring voice of her heart would chime in. "No, they are alive and they will return." Each voice, claming to be right. Her senses mingled, intertwining, finding new reasons for hope and for giving up.

"Sora promised me...he wouldn't lie..." She held tears back, her memories surfacing. "He wouldn't..." Her voice faded into the night, only the faint sound of falling tears could be heard.
