Chapter 1: We're Back!

--------------------------------

Author's Note:

Moonii and Alexa: Hey guys, Moonii and Alexa here! (But of course you know that, vV;) Ahh, so Chapter 1 has been revised and edited with permission by sora1truelove (who is actually Alexa, by the way! ;). We hope you enjoy The Future as much as you did when everything was misspelled and completely different. =) Yeehaw! Now start reading!

(Yeah, I know... ok... ahem That was weird.)

Oh yeah! And please note that whenever there is an exclamation point -- !after a name or letter (S= Sora, K= Kairi, R= Riku, and so on...) it means that the story changes to that person's point of view on the story. And when there is an exclamation point with no letter in front of it, it means the story is switching back to 2nd or 3rd person view. I can't tell the difference. Thanks for reading, and don't forget to read and review!

DO NOT READ ON IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 13, UNLESS YOU HAVE NO MORAL BELIEFS OR VALUES! (WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AGAIN?) ahem ANYWAY! THIS STORY HAS BEEN RATED R FOR A REASON! THERE IS CONTENT IN THIS STORY CONTAINING SEXUAL ASSAULT (RAPE - YES, WHAT A NASTY WORD), SEXUAL ATTRACTION AND ENCOUNTERS, AND VERY INTIMATE SCENES! DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU! Thanks, and be kind to your web-footed friends!

S! I've missed Kairi so much since we've been gone. "Hey Riku! How long have we been gone for?"

"Erm..."

"Haven't you been keeping track?!"

"Um, well... no."

Well, we've been gone for about 4 years, and now we're finally going back to Destiny Island. "Riku? Can't you drive the Gummi Ship any faster?!"

"SHUT UP SORA! We're almost there! Geez!" !

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K! "Kairi, are almost ready for the concert?" One of the concert organizer's called to me in my shack; a sorry excuse for a dressing room.

I'm really not ready although I've been practicing for weeks now; hours on end; days without sleep. "Yep! I'm ready!" I called, tightening the sash around my waist. I haven't been to the island for a long time, and I really don't want to remember Sora and Riku. They're in my past. Even though Sora made a promise, I know he won't fulfill it. !

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S! "Hey Riku! Are we there yet?"

"Almost Sora; stop botherin- HEY SORA! I SEE THE ISLAND!"

Finally we're home. "Woohoo! Lets go!" Riku and I sprung off the ship and noticed that there were tons of people around.

"I wonder what's going on..." Riku murmured next to me.

"I don't know, but how did everyone get here?"

"Look Sora! There's an island across the water?" He cut me off in confusion.

"Wow! There is! But what island is that? I don't remember there being another island 4 years ago..."

"That island is Twilight Town." A girl a little younger than Riku cut in.

"Who are you?" Riku asked rudely.

"My name is Kiara, and you two are?"

Being the gentleman that I am, I introduced myself politely."My name is Sora and this here is my friend Riku."

Riku sat stupidly next to me, still staring out at Twilight Town.

"Hey! Are you guys going to the concert tonight?"

"No, what concert?" Riku demanded.

Kiara turned to me, ignoring Riku, and added, "You can go with-"

Riku grabbed my arm before I could stop him and whisked me away through the bustling crowd toward a raised stage covered with conch shells and periwinkles of every kind. It was beautiful, and so was the girl walking on stage...

From a loud speakerbox on each side of the stage came a loud booming voice, "And now, Destiny Island would like to present... KAIRI!" And at that time, 5 floodlights poured over Sora and Riku's best friend.

"What the... Kairi?!" Riku gasped. "It can't be..."

Sora shook his head in disbelief, "My god. She's stunning up there..." !

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Woohoo! Hey Destiny Island! It's great to be back! What do you want me to sing for you guys tonight?" Sora and Riku stared on in disbelief at the girl they once knew, who was still just as outspoken and courageous as she was before.

"SIMPLE AND CLEAN, SIMPLE AND CLEAN!" the audience roared from below; stomping their feet and clapping their hands with anticipation. And in no higher than a whisper you could hear Kairi say, "Simple and Clean it is..."

"You're giving me too many things lately, but you're all I need. You smiled at me and said, 'Don't get me wrong, I love you, but does that mean I have to meet your father? When we're older, you'll understand What I mean when I say, 'No, I don't think it's quite that simple.' When you walk away, you don't here me say, 'Please, Oh Baby, don't go.' Simple and Clean is the way you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go, and the daily thing that keeps us all busy is confusing me. That's when you came to me and said, 'Wish I could prove I love you, but does that mean I have to walk on water? When you're older you'll understand that it's enough when I said so. And maybe some things are that simple When you walk away, you don't hear me say, 'Please, oh Baby, don't go.' Simple and Clean is the way you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go. Hold me, because What ever lies beyond this morning is a little later on. Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all. Nothing like before When you walk away you don't here me say, 'Please, oh Baby, don't go.' Simple and Clean is the way you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go. Hold me, What ever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on. Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all. Nothing like before. Hold me, what ever lies beyond this morning is a little later on. Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all. Nothing like before.

As Kairi did what she was best at, the crowd roared and cried. She slowly ended her song, and realized that she had to tell her fans what she was planning on doing next in her life. She raised both of her arms high up in the air, telling the audience to settle down, "Everyone... this is my last concert. I still feel bad about it, but I realize now that singing isn't enough to make me happy anymore; but I need my old life back. I realize that you will be sad, but I want you to know that I'll be happier this way, and I thought you'd want to know. I'm sorry!" And with tears silently streaking down her face, she ran off the stage. She ran to her secret place, where she used to run away from Sora and Riku when they were playing hide and seek. She hadn't been there since the night her and Sora built up their courage and kissed for the first time. Riku never knew about it. Everything was covered in spider webs and dust. She had been gone that long. "I miss Sora and Riku so badly... I just wish I could see them one more time." Kairi whispered, unsure on what her purpose in life was.
