Trinity of Time
Chapter 8: Kairi's Suffering
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the morning, Kairi and Trinity slept in because it was Saturday. However, Kairi woke first, took a shower, got dressed in her usual clothes, and walked outside to the Secret Place without eating.
She walked through the little tunnel, and into where everyone had drawn his or her pictures. Kairi walked over to where she and Sora had drawn. She sat down on the cold ground and stared at the picture. She reached out her hand and touched where Sora had drawn the paupou fruit. She smiled as a tear came down her cheek.
Footsteps were heard, and Kairi turned her head around. Trinity was there in her blue clothes, looking at Kairi sadly. She came over and sat next to Kairi. "Are you alright?" she asked, putting a comforting hand over Kairi's shoulder.
Kairi sniffed. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just...thinking." Trinity let her arm drop and looked at where Kairi was looking.
"Did you draw that?" Trinity asked.
Kairi nodded. "Me and Sora did."
Trinity looked at the drawing of the fruit. "What's that?" she asked pointing.
"That's a paupou fruit. It grows on the tree where we sat yesterday. They say that whoever shares a paupou fruit will be come destined together forever."
Trinity smiled. So in the drawing, Kairi and Sora were sharing a paupou fruit to be destined together.
They sat there looking at the painting. Then Trinity got up and walked around, looking at all the pictures. "Does everybody come here?"
Kairi looked over at Trinity. "Well the people on this side of the island. The other side people hardly come here. They don't even know about this place."
Trinity nodded. She began looking at all the different ones while Kairi watched her. She giggled at a few, and looked at Kairi. "This place is wonderful," she said smiling. "I mean, it shows people together, it kind of seems...magical." She paused. "I know that may seem weird for me to say that but-"
"Oh, it's not strange at all. I think the same about this place." Kairi said, and looked at the picture of her and Sora one last time before getting up. "Come on, let's go see what everybody else is doing."
Trinity nodded and followed Kairi out. "How did you find me in there anyway?" Kairi asked as soon as they stepped out and walked past the waterfall.
"Selphie told me that you'd probably be in there." Trinity answered, looking at the waterfall.
They walked along until Selphie came running up to them. She carried three water guns. She handed Kairi and Trinity one and said, "You better take these. Wakka and Tidus are out." As soon as she said that, Wakka came yelling out behind the waterfall and sprayed Kairi. She was now soaking wet.
"Oh, you little!" Kairi yelled, and started chasing Wakka.
The five of them started having an intense water gun fight, and laughed the whole time. Trinity had gotten Wakka real good, and once Wakka gave in, Kairi, Trinity, and Wakka watched Selphie trying to spray Tidus.
"Aaaawwww," Kairi said so only Trinity and Wakka could hear. All three grinned as Tidus got Selphie good.
Tidus walked over to them. "Hey, I got an idea. Lets go and squirt Jake and his friends with these!" he said as he held up the large water gun.
Wakka nodded, "Ya man. I agree." Both boys looked over at the girls. All three were frowning a little. "Isn't that a little to mean?" Selphie asked, still a soaking wet like Kairi.
"No way!" Tidus exclaimed. The girls stood in there spots. Both boys shrugged at each other and walked off.
"I'll never get them," Selphie muttered shaking her head.
Kairi smiled, "It would be funny though."
Trinity giggled softly.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm going to go watch, see ya guys later!" Selphie said quickly and waved as she ran off.
Kairi sighed. "Selphie just wants to watch Tidus." Kairi giggled to herself.
Trinity raised an eyebrow. "Does she like him or something?"
Kairi burst out laughing. "Yes! You should hear her! All day long she says she thinks about Tidus and him only! It's so funny." Kairi kept laughing and soon died down.
"Let's go sit by the paupou tree. I like it there, it's peaceful." Trinity said after a silent pause, and walked towards the tree. Kairi nodded and soon followed.
They both walked up to it, and sat on it. They sat there for a few moments when Trinity finally got the nerve to ask, "What happened?"
Kairi looked at her. "What are you talking about?"
Trinity took a breath. "Now I know this is hard for you, but...can you tell me what really happened? With you, Sora, and Riku?" Kairi looked at Trinity for moment and realized that she was nervous. Kairi nodded and told Trinity everything. Everything from the start, about her, Sora, and Riku building the raft all the way to where Sora and Kairi last met.
Trinity listened carefully. Trinity already knew what most of the parts of the story were, but still listened carefully. Kairi at some points had to stop and take a breather to stop from crying. Trinity knew this was hard for her, but Trinity had to know the rest of it.
As Kairi finished, she took a deep sigh and looked at the sea, her arms crossed. She was leaning against the tree, with tears in her eyes, but they did not come down. Kairi had never told anyone about the whole story of the three of them. It kind of felt good, to tell someone.
Trinity kept a steady eye on Kairi. Trinity knew this was hard for Kairi, and especially what Kairi had just told Trinity. Trinity had an aching feeling in her gut. Should she tell Kairi? But Trinity won't know if Kairi will hate her after she told her. Trinity sighed, and just asked what has been nagging in the back of her mind, "Do you have strong feeling for Sora?" she asked.
Kairi looked at Trinity with sparkles in her eyes from the tears that were holding back. "What do you mean? Well yeah sure, he was my best friend."
"No, I mean, do you love him?"
Kairi looked back at the shining water. Trinity then figured that this was a personal question. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Trinity said.
Kairi shook her head, "It's all right. Well, actually, the truth is, I've loved Sora since what seemed like the first day we met." A tear came down.
Trinity sighed. "This must be hard for you, I'm sorry."
Kairi nodded in agreement and said, "It's okay." She sniffed and wiped her tear away with her hand.
Kairi sat down on the ground just deep in her thoughts. Trinity kept staring at Kairi, wondering if she should tell Kairi. But what if Kairi would hate her? Then trinity would lose a deep friend.
After a while, Trinity said, "Hey Kairi?"
"Hm?"
"I need to tell you something."
Kairi looked at Trinity, her face a little pink. "Go ahead."
"Well, this is kind of hard for me to say, but-"Trinity was cut off by Selphie coming over.
"Hey guys!" Selphie said, running up to them. "You missed it! Jake and his friends were SO mad!"
Kairi smiled and looked back at Trinity. "What were you going to say?" she asked.
Trinity paused and finally said, "Never mind, it's not important." Yes it is, her mind said. Kairi looked at Trinity in the eye, and knew Trinity was lying.
Kairi shrugged her shoulders as Selphie came and sat on the tree next to trinity. Selphie explained about the water gun fight with Jake. Kairi was half listening, trying to wonder what Trinity had to tell her. Kairi then decided to ask trinity later; maybe Trinity didn't want Selphie to hear.
Trinity was also wondering what would happen if she told Kairi. She pushed that thought aside as she listened to Selphie jabber about Jake's face.
