Memories or Dreams

What is darkness? Is it a dept of which no light can hope to shine. Is it a feeling of confusing, of uncertainty, of betrayal, or is it something more. Something that can't even be defined in the best dictionary. Is it something more?

Many people have wondered this through out time. Ansem much more than others. His research on this subject along with the heartless drew him closer and closer to an answer, or so he thought. It poisoned the once kind rulers mind. It tormented him. He saw nothing else not his people, not his friends. Ansem only saw the darkness the power it possessed was immense. It stole from him something that he had once held in highest esteem his will power. In the end the power was what destroyed him. The darkness he had loved so much.

Kairi put the pen down on the oak table. She finally finished it the last line of the book. It was finally finished? When she had wound back up on Destiny Island after Sora had left she decided she wanted everyone to know he's story well their story. So she began to write at first it had been a slow process. She stumbled through the depts of her mind trying to find the right words to tell the story, but after a while it came to her in a never ending flow of ink on paper. Was it really finished? In her mind she knew that it wasn't. Kairi knew that there was more so much more. This book that she had written was only the beginning of Sora's long Journey, and this time she wouldn't get to experience it through his eyes. This time she would have to get the details strait from him. When he came back to her.

"Will he come back?" A scared voice asked her. "Of course he will. He promised me." Then she shivered when she realized the voice that asked had been none other than her own. It was a fear that would haunt her until he came back or worse she died. Even then if he came back she would always have a fear of him disappearing again out of her life never to come back.

With hands trembling and sticky from sweat she picked up her finished work. All it needed was a name. She cocked her head from side to side trying to recall some kind of memory to help her with the naming process, but none in particular jumped out at her. 'A name is one of the most important parts of writing. It has to grab a readers attention in a way that another title won't. Maybe it's not the time to name it yet.' Kairi put the newly finished book on her book self. Dust flew everywhere. The particles chocked her, and she let out a hacking cough. She really needed to clean. The house was a mess she hadn't really cleaned since she started writing the second part of the story nearly a year ago.

As the dust settled she realized it had uncovered a long forgotten photo album. She gently picked it up, and blew the dust off of it. The first picture was one of her first memories of Sora. It was taken a couple days after she had arrived at Destiny Island. He was sitting on the beach covered in sticky purple popsicle holding the remains of it to his mouth ready to take another bite. The next picture was taken on the same day it was a picture of Riku pushing Sora in the stand and stealing his popsicle. Kairi laughed when she saw the disappointed look on Sora's face. She remembered Sora's mother screaming at them when she saw Sora and Riku with sticky little hands covered in purple fighting over a half eaten popsicle. She turned countless pages looking at old forgotten memories. Kairi laughed out loud, and she got mad at the two all over again for some incidents. Then She felt like her heart was caught in her throat. The first tear came it. It ran down her cheek and landed on top of the photo album on top of a picture of her best friends. Then more came streaming down her rosy checks like a steady rain fall.

Then sleep came to claim her. She fought so hard to keep her head up. Kairi was so tired. She was so tired of waiting for Sora waiting for them both to come back, but there was nothing else to do just wait nothing else at all. Her arms folded under her and her head dropped on top of the oak table.

The brilliant sunshine crept through the curtained windows, and shone on Kairi's pale face. Kairi opened her tired eyes. 'Time to start a new day. Wonderful...' Walking to her closet she shook her head in dismay none of her clothes seemed to appeal to her . 'Oh well it dosen't really matter anyway.' She quickly just pulled out what was closet to her, and put that on. It turned out to be a pair of worn jeans, and a white t-shirt that was so enormous it almost swallowed her small form. Shaking her head, she realized that Selphie defiantly wouldn't approve.

It was summer and Destiny Island was a great tourist paradise, but not to Kairi. She had grown to feel the same way Riku had about the place. A place that looked completely gorges with it's variety of vast green tropical plants, endless white beaches, and deep waters as far as the eye can see was indeed a prison of no escape. For true paradise is the place where your heart belongs, a place with all the people you love, a place that you never ever wanted to leave. This place was no paradise not at all.

She was supposed to meet Selphie at the beach along with the guys though she would rather not. Selphie was tapping her foot impatiently wearing her tradition color of yellow. She shook her head when she saw Kairi coming. Kairi wasn't sure if it was because of the clothes she was wearing, her lateness, or both. Most likely it was both.

"Kairi, what am I going to do with you." Her face turned and her eyes narrowed. Then she put on a cheesy smile. "How about when they get here we convince them to take us to the mall. I'll buy you a whole new wardrobe."

"I'm sorry Selp, but I like my clothes just fine. Besides you promised me we wouldn't go back to the mall since the last incident." Kairi vividly remembered that mess clothes everywhere, boxes toppled over, shattered glass, waling police sirens never again would she go to the mall with Selphie.

"Hey, no fair that was just and accident." She contorted her face into the biggest whiniest puppy dog pout she could muster. "Pretty pretty please come with me."

Kairi didn't have the heart to tell her no, but if she said nothing Selphie would take it as a yes. She lowered her eyes to the ground hoping to let Sephie's cheery face fade so she could tell her no.

"Hey what are you trying to talk Kairi into now. Ya know she won't want to go anywhere with that face." Wakka walked up to both girls. He started at Selp given her a glance meaning 'Don't push it.' She nodded in understanding.

"Okay, then lets just stick to the original plan if you don't want go to the mall. You want to go to the beach still, right?" Kairi nodded. "Good you haven't really hung out with us in a while. I was beginning to worry that my friend Kairi would never show her face outside again."

She smiled slightly just enough to curve her lips into more than a completely strait expression. "Don't worry about that. I was just working on something, and I'm, finished with it at least for now." Kairi stared at the rapidly changing sky wondering what will be added to the part of the tale she had already written. The colors changed from orange, lilac purple, and a pink color that's indescribable to a bright sky blue the color that will face the new day. 'It will be something worth telling something absolutely wonderful.'

"Owww what is it? Tell me please," Her lip curled under as she mimics a five year old wanting a new toy. "pretty please."

"I'll tell you latter. When I'm ready." Kairi assured her.

"Promise?"

"Take this. It's my lucky charm. Be sure to bring it back to me." Kairi handed Sora her favorite lucky charm. It is something important to her something she made herself, and she wanted him to have it.

"Don't worry. I will." Sora assured her.

"Promise?" She asked him.

"Promise." He gave Kai one of his famous goofy grins as if to say of course I will.

She smiled back at him and said. "Don't ever forget. Wherever you go, I'm always with you"

Promise.....

Promise........

Promise...........

A horrible pain shot through Kairi's body. Her body started to tremble. The focus of this unseen attack seemed to be her head. She clutched it in agony. A memory of her and one of her best friends poured in and faded out over and over again. The pain increases. The red head started to sweat unable to stop. Without warning the pain subsided. Kairi let out a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?" Tidus asked.

She turned around all three of her friends including Tidus who had just arrived were watching her with wide open eyes. The looked at her as though she was so frail she would collapse in any moment. "I'm fine. It was just a little head ache. It's gone now." Their faces still held a trace of disbelief. "Don't look so worried. I'm fine, really."

There was an unnerving silence in the group. Then her head felt like it was going to explode again. She closed her ocean blue eyes and tried to bare the pain. "I think I'm going to go home if it is alright with you guys. I'll come outside tomorrow. Okay?"

Selphie watched her with worried eyes."Alrighty, feel better."

'Why won't my head stop hurting?' Kairi layed in her mahogany bed, on her back. A light blue wash cloth was placed on her head to help ease the pain. Her eyes closed. 'Sora you promised. You have to bring my luck charm back to me. Please bring it back soon.'

She tosseed and turned. "Come back." They had been gone for so long both of them Riku, and Sora. For four years she's waited, never forgetting them, and never giving up hope. One day she believes they'll be back. Everything will be like before. Kairi tried to convince her self even though she knows it's a war she cannot win. Nothing's like before.

That's the end of chapter one. If you want another chapter review and let me know, or if you don't like it review and let me know. If I get a lot of good reviews I'll make the next chapter longer than this one. I'm sorry about all the spelling and grammar errors that are most likely all through this story. I don't have spell check, and I usually don't catch every error that I make when I check it myself. Let me know if you find any so I can fix them in this, and future chapters. Thanks.
