Chapter 4:
By the hand
Cool midnight air greeted her arrival as she exited the "secret place" she held so dearly to her heart. Everything seemed frigid to the touch, the sand ran stiffly through her toes. She shivered at brought her eyes to the flawless azure sky. A trace of a smile could be seen on her pale skin. She ran her fingers through her hair and inhaled. The cool air seeped into her lungs, piercing her fragile heart. A cold shiver ran down her back, yet she ventured towards the ocean. She dipped her feet into the icy water and closed her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll keep you warm, I'll keep you safe, no matter how far away are hearts are taken from each other."
The sky and the sea seemed to flood into each other. She stared as long as her eyes would allow her to. The voice that haunted her for so long… she could feel it. His breath was upon her neck; her arms were wrapped around her thin figure. So warm, so familiar, she wanted more. Slowly reality slipped from her fingers, all she felt was his touch, his warmth. That's all she wanted, and all she ever needed. But as soon as the feeling came it left her, back in the cold reality of Destiny Islands. The wind carried a hopeful whisper to her ear,
"I'll always be by your side to hold you, forever in eternity."
At that moment a star flickered back to life in the blue night sky, another world was born, her hero was still out there fighting for the greater good. But sometimes, it hurt to think that the greater good, will kill him in the end.
" Kairi come on you need to see this!" Tidus' voice easily cut through the calm silence. Quickly Kairi stepped out of the water and ran over to Tidus. The second she reached him, he took her hand in his and began to pull her in the direction of where the girl was.
"She's been talking a bit, and she's beginning to come around!" Tidus said excitedly his grip on Kairi's hand tightening in anticipation.
After a while they'd reached Kairi's little "Home away from home". The crème colored drapes were closed and a flickering candle could be seen. Tidus pushed the door open revealing Wakka, and Stelphie running around frantically looking for numerous things to give the girl. Kairi ran to the side of the bed and looked the girl over. Her weight had increased and she looked almost fully healed.
"Wakka, please go and collect some food with Tidus," Kairi barely looked over her shoulder before returning to the girl. "And Stelphie go and get some more healing things from town." Everyone nodded and walked out of the small "house". Kairi stood over the girl. The girl's lips were moving but very slightly, scars still ran over her chest and the three scars upon her face still hadn't gone away. Her skin was now a flawless copper. They had done a good job healing her. Kairi pressed her hands to the girls temples and began chanting a curing spell. A rush of raw power ran through her veins and exited through her fingers.
For just a moment she was one with the girl, all she felt was cold, absolute numbness. Loss of thoughts pulled them closer together. Then it was done. Kairi slowly pulled her hands from the girl. The girl twisted and writhed in pain. All Kairi could do was place a reassuring hand upon the girls stomach. The spell had to take it's course. Kairi watched in silence as the girls cries of pain diminished into silence and her body slowly drifted back to the bed. A rush of relief fell upon Kairi as the girls cries faded. Her breaths began to regulate once more.
Inhale…exhale… in…out…
Kairi matched her breaths with the girls once more. It was all over now, the girl didn't have to worry anymore. Only one thing disturbed Kairi, as the girl turned on her side the shirt Kairi had given ruffled revealing a tattoo on her back. There was far more here then meets the eye about this girl.
