Now changing to Kairi's point of view:

I slowly came to consciousness. Snuggling up to the warm blankets surrounding me, I mumbled peaceful nonsense into the pillow.

Wait, WHAT?

My eyes flew open. Okay...in a bedroom. It definitely belongs to a woman- nicely decorated with unlit candles, a dresser, white rug, yellow walls, sheets and bedspread. A very...happy room.

I rolled over to my other side only to be greeted with blinding sunlight coming from a large window. Ergh...squinting I could even make out flower-patterned curtains that matched the bed.
Damnit! It's all too bright and happy! Must...leave...now.

I sat up a bit too quickly and got a sudden, stabbing headache. "Ooh...pain.." I mumbled, grasping the side of my head. Sinking back down to the pillow I suddenly came to the realization that I was in a person's house.

Duh, Kairi.

Okay so they can't be dangerous, calm down.

I looked around the room for any identification. A few pictures of unrecognizable people, but really nothing.

My eyes eventually adjusted enough for me to get a good look out the window. All I could see was a....wait a second. A building?! I'm in a city?

Okay, this can't be Destiny Islands. Shit...this can't be good.

I suddenly hissed in pain from another jolt in my head.

Okay breath... this isn't helping my headache. I need to take things one step at a time. Like, ohhh I don't know, maybe who's fricking bed I'm sleeping in!

As if on cue, the door creaked open from which came a soft voice. "Hello? You awake in there?"

I hesitated. It was a man's voice. What if he was friends with that Sephiroth guy?

"..Umm yeah..." I said nervously.

"OH!" the guy exclaimed. I jumped as he flew open the door and hopped in.

He was tall, really well built. He was wearing regular jeans and a black tee-shirt. He looked pretty young-only a few years older than me. His eyes were strikingly similar to Sora's- a bright, ocean blue. He had blonde hair, styled so that it spiked up in different directions.

"Um..." the man said awkwardly. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other. The silence was making him uncomfortable. Hah, I'm used to it.

"...Well, I'm guessing you would like to know who I am...heh," The guy said, scratching his head.

I nodded expectantly.

"Well, names Cloud. And I'm pretty sure you're Kairi."

My eyes widened at this. First off, the name Cloud totally sounds like familiar. I think Sora has mentioned it to me before. I think Sora fought him. But...he doesn't look dangerous.

But wait...

"How do you know me?!" I demanded.

Cloud looked shocked. "Well Sora told me about you. You fit the description perfectly."

Huh? They were friends?

"Weren't you guys enemies or something?" I asked, clearly confused.

He looked surprised. "No...I mean, in the beginning of the war of the heartless I was...in a dark place. But Sora helped me through it and later on we became good friends."

Oh... he was prolly in the same situation as Riku. Oh I never really told you about Riku. See, the first time Sora left, Riku did too. He was a keyblade master too, but he made a deal that if he gave his heart to darkness, he could find me.

Needless to say, it was his downfall. He almost died from the strength of the darkness in his body. Sora later found him unconscious in Kingdom Hearts.

I snapped back to reality. Cloud was looking at me oddly. "Heh, sorry- just zoned out a bit."

Cloud looked sympathetic. "You're head injury looks bad. I found you at the world entrance when I was landing my gummi ship. You were sprawled across the floor unconscious. You must have hit your head pretty hard."

I nodded. "Uhh yeah I can tell."

Cloud laughed. "Don't worry, it should heal in a day or two."

Achk a day? Ugh I wish Sora were here. He could heal this in a minute.

"How long have I been out?" I asked.

"Just about an hour or so," Cloud replied. "How did you get here? I mean, you're lucky I found you, I only recognized you because Sora's shown me pictures. If I hadn't seen you, right now you could be freezing to death in an ally way!"

"Hehe, I guess I should be thanking you for that," I said, embarrassed.

Cloud shrugged, "No problem, it's not every day that you get to save someone's life...On that note, is there anything you need?"

I nodded, acknowledging my dry throat. "Water?" I asked.

"Sure," he said, giving me one last smile before hurrying out.

Well he seems pretty cool. I gave the room another look, drumming my fingers on the covers.

So whose room could this be? Is he married? He looks kinda young for that, he's looks only in his early 20's.

I shifted my gaze to the window. It looked extremely cold outside. It had to be only around 5, and yet the sun was gone.

"Depressing..." I muttered.

I heard footsteps and turned just in time to see Cloud walk through the door with a tray holding a glass of water and some soup.

"Thought you might be a bit hungry too," Cloud said.

As the scent of the herbed soup drifted towards me, my stomach growled.

"Guess so!" he chuckled.

I smiled and mumbled a thanks before eagerly taking the tray and setting it on my lap.

After sipping my water I looked back up at Cloud. I have so many questions and yet none of them are coming to my mind. Don't you hate it when that happens?

OH! I spoke up, "So first of all, you said you had a gummi ship. So you can go to other worlds?"

I sipped my soup. Mmm chicken noodle....

Cloud nodded, "Yep, well I could until now. The heartless are back, and I was unprepared for them. One of them almost destroyed my ship, I barely made it back here."

I choked on the soup I was attempting to swallow. Damnit. My face fell. "So it's unusable?"

"Yeah, for now." Cloud said, a bit disappointed too, "But it's being worked on. It should be ready in a week or so."

I nodded and sipped my soup. Eh atleast it's not destroyed.

Cloud looked questioningly at me. "Speaking of world travelling, how did you get here?"

Ugh...too tired. "Long story." I said, finishing the soup. "But I cant travel like that again."

Yawning I set the tray on the floor next to me.

"Well, thanks for the soup and water."

"No problem," Cloud said non-chalantly, "You look tired, I'll leave you to rest."

I looked at him gratefully.

Cloud began to leave. "Feel better," he said before walking out.

I sighed and closed my eyes. ...Wait.

"Hey Cloud!" I called through the door. "What world is this?!"

"Twilight Town!" He called back.

I yawned again before closing my eyes. Whatever.
