Note: I do not own any of the Kingdom Hearts Characters, locations, or any thing else for that matter. This chapter is back to the past. Sora and Riku journey to the hospital to see Kairi. She was sent here after they discovered her, and I'll let you find out the rest.

It had been two days since the girl named Kairi had arrived mysteriously on Destiny Islands. The doctor had been watching, owing to the fact that no one seemed to know her parents, and she couldn't remember anything about herself. So far the doctor hadn't let anyone see her, but he was going to make an exception for me and Riku since we had been the ones to find her.

"Do you think she'll remember us?" I questioned Riku as we were walking towards the doctor's office.

"Of course she will, Riku said in a sly tone, "you scared her so bad she'll probably never forget you." I stopped in my tacks, and cast an angry glare at Riku. He stuck out his tongue at me and ran off towards the doctor's, me fast on his heels. With the added incentive, we arrived at the doctor's much faster.

"...pant...pant...Ok, ok, I get it, your faster than me," I caught my breath, then gave one of my goofy grins to Riku.

"Come on, she's probably waiting for us."

The doctor's office was a small building on the edge of town. It had only 4 rooms total, but not many people got sick or injured. Aside from when I'd been born, I had never been there

"Hello, can I help you?" A nurse at the front desk near the door greeted us as we walked in.

"O, hi. We're here to see Kairi." Riku responded to her right away. He'd been here a lot while his mother was still alive. She had garnered a rare disease, of which the origins were unknown.

"Ah yes, the little girl that you two brought in the other night. She is in room three. Down the hall and first door on the right."

"Thanks," Riku said, then motioned for me to follow as he headed down the hall. I quickly caught up to him and we went into the room together.

She was sitting alone in a chair facing the window. Her arm had been pinned down by a cast over her shoulder, so that it would heal right. She still looked as beautiful as she had those few nights prior. Hearing us come in, she turned, and after giving what looked like a quick glance to me, she smiled really wide and got up from her seat.

"What are you two doing here?" she asked, obviously glad to have someone to talk to.

"We wanted to see how you were doing," Riku said. I simply nodded along with him.

"That's really nice of you guys. I've been bored out of my mind..." she trailed off, garnering a look of disgust on her face.

"H...has the doctor been nice?" I managed to stammer. Riku gave an exasperated sigh, and Kairi giggled.

"Yes, they have, but you know how boring adults are. They never seem to talk about, or do anything fun," she gave another giggle, then went back and sat down in her chair, motioning for us to take a seat in the two opposite her. Riku and I sat down, and the three of us conversed on random things for around a half hour. We filled her in on our pasts-which didn't take to long-and told her about Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka. After a while, I finally worked up enough courage to ask something that had been on my mind.

"Kairi, where are you from?" as soon as I said it, I regretted it. The room grew dead quiet. Kairi's smile became a look of sadness, and Riku cast me an evil glare. Trying to recover from my error, I tried to act like it wasn't a big deal. "O, sorry, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to..."

I grew quiet as well, drifting into the error I had made. How could I have been so stupid? I knew that she couldn't remember anything; she couldn't that first night, so why would she be able to now? After a long drawn out silence, Kairi spoke.

"I honestly haven't a clue, Sora. I wish I did. I wish I could figure it out, fond out if I have parents that care about me, relatives I've lost, or other friends I might have. But I've accepted the fact that I can't remember, and I just want to try to live here in peace. Sorry..." Kairi resumed looking at her legs, and then Riku chimed in.

"Don't worry about it Kairi. We don't care where you're from. We just want you to stay here. We'll find someone around town who will take you in, ok?"

"Ok," Kairi said, perking up a bit.

"Well, Sora, we need to get going. Kairi's new home isn't going to find itself you know." Riku stood up and left the room. I made to follow him, but Kairi stopped me.

"Wait, Sora. I do remember something. I remember a really big castle, but I don't know where it is. When I dream, I try to enter it, but I always wake up before I do."

"Maybe that's how you're trying to remember." I said. "When we first found you, you asked where your grandma was. I don't know if it'll help lots, but I figured you should know."

"My grandma, huh?" she furrowed her brow, obviously trying to remember her. "Thanks, Sora. Goodbye." With this I left the room, leaving Kairi to her thoughts.
