Well, what do you know? I had enough time to do this yesterday! But my computer crashed afterward, and my Internet was down after I did get my computer up, so I didn't have time to put it up! Okay, so you know this is from Kairi's point of view, so not much action. Here we go!

~{KEY}~

{Thoughts} ~Mysterious Voice~ /Song Lyrics/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kairi walked on the beach, looking up at the stars. She was heading to the Secret Place. She went there everyday now, ever since Sora had gone. It made here feel closer, somehow, to the real world. Here she was, on a tiny island with no contact with the outside world, not knowing whether the Heartless had come back, not knowing whether all the Keyholes had been sealed, not knowing whether Riku had been rescued...

Kairi tried to focus on the task at hand. Thinking about the outside world only made her feel frustrated and sorry for herself. Why did she always have to be the damsel in distress, always waiting for somebody else to rescue her? It just made her so upset to be so helpless. She could help too, she knew she could! She was tired of being to one to be taken care of.

{Not anymore.}, Kairi thought grimly. Ever since she had come back, she had been learning to use magic. Before, when she was at Transverse Town after being rescued at Hollow Bastion by Sora, Aerith had said that since she was a Princess of Heart, she probably had some type of magical power. But she hadn't had time to try it out.

{Well, now I have all the time in the world.} And this was true. Sora had promised to return to her, and until then she could train until she was a master at magic.

Or, at least until she could protect herself.

By now, Kairi had finally arrived at the Heart of Destiny Islands, the Secret Place. The other reason she had gone here is because she had seen meteors today, streaking across the sky. She remembered somebody telling her that that meant that the walls were down,... and that the Heartless were back.

She trailed her fingers along the familiar drawing of her childhood, smiling faintly at the memories each of them brought.

Finally, she came upon her favorite picture. It portrayed a spiky haired boy's face in profile, smiling at a shorthaired girl. In between them were two star-shaped fruit. Apparently, the boy was giving the girl the fruit, and the girl was returning the favor. This sketch was very crude, more like one that you would find on somebody's fridge, but Kairi treasured it dearly.

Sitting there gazing at the image made Kairi feel quite drowsy. She dropped off to sleep.

(A/N: This is where Kairi has her dream.)

/I'm Standing on a bridge

I'm waiting' in the dark

I thought that you'd be here by now

There's nothing but the rain

No footsteps on the ground

I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone trying' to find me?

Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Wont you take me by the hand

take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

but I... I'm with you

I'm looking for a place

searching for a face

is anybody here I know

'cause nothings going right

and everything's a mess

and no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone trying' to find me?

Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

but I.....I'm with you

Oh why is everything so confusing

maybe I'm just out of my mind

yea yea yea

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

but I... I'm with you

Take me by the hand

take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

but I....I'm with you

I'm with you

Take me by the hand, Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

but I....I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you.../

Kairi yawned and stretched. She had had a dream so lifelike, it seemed like it was real. Sora had asked her to trust him, to wait...

No. She wasn't going to wait this time for someone to rescue her again. She was going to find him, and Riku too.

Just as these thoughts were running through her head, the wooden door that had always rested, dormant and uninteresting, began to glow. A large decorative white handle appeared.

A single word ran through her head.

~Go.~

She walked in to the light.

{When I find them, we'll go together.}

{And this time, I'll fight.}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~{AUTHOR'S NOTE}~

And so, Kairi begins her journey to find her friends.

Like I said, not much action here. But next is Sora's POV, so hopefully, he will be thrashing some Heartless then.

Oh yeah, and the song is 'Turn the Clock Around' by Mandy Moore. I don't own it, in case you couldn't tell.

~{DISCLAIMER}~

Ditto last time.

~{REVIEWS}~

More reviewers! I am sooooo happy!

~Heather Christi~

I am sooooo sorry that I didn't give you a prize for reviewing last time. My Reviewer-Alert thingy hasn't been working right, so today you get 2 prizes!

Anyway, if I don't change plans, Kairi will actually be killing some Heartless. Watch out Riku, move aside Sora, it's Kairi! Anyway, yeah, I hope to have a fun time! ^____^

You get a Magician's Staff! Violetta? Save the Queen? You name it!

You also get a drawing of the Sora/Kairi sketch!

~Diable-enfant~

It's my good friend! I'm glad that you like it so far!

You get a Destiny Islands Holoplay! Comes in a little capsule, throw it on the ground, and Destin Islands comes to life around you! Great for getting out of your chores!

Thanks to all!

~{UPDATES}~

None so far!

Sayonara!!!
