The girl, known as Kairi, watched the stars as a tear fell down her cheek. She wiped it away with the sleeve on her bathrobe and walked back into her room. She fell backwards onto her bed and reached out for her pillow, and then fixed it underneath her head. Kairi stayed in her awkward position across her bed, and stared up at the ceiling. Slowly she closed her eyes, hoping for the smallest bit of sleep, and it was granted to her.

.:Dream scene:.

Kairi walked along a dark pathway, taking in everything around her, staying alert for anything. "Where am I?" she whispered to herself, not knowing that someone was listening, and watching.

"So you have finally arrived." She quickly turned around, thinking that she felt a presence behind her but there was none, the voice was familiar to her, and it was a bit deep, mysterious. She looked forward once more, "Riku?" She said, wondering if she was right, but the voice laughed this time it was deeper, not like Riku at all. "No, chosen one. Not quite." Kairi looked up, a questionable expression on her face, she held onto a lock of hair with both hands, and combed it with her fingers, a new habit that was found when she was nervous, or frightened. "Chosen one? What are you talking about?" She said, and looked around, "I know what you want..." The voice said once again, and appeared in front of her was Sora. Kairi's eyes opened wide "Sora!" she said, but it seemed like he wasn't listening, he was just sitting there, looking towards the ground, his deep blue eyes seemed weak and dull. A single tear rolled down her cheek, "Sora?" She said again, questioning whether this was really happening. Why wasn't he doing anything? Why was he sitting in the dark corridor not even looking to see who was calling his name. Then he slowly looked up, and stared at Kairi, he opened his mouth to speak but disappeared in streams of light. Kairi fell to her knees, "No! How could you leave me again?!" She was heartbroken, angry, and confused. "You will see him again, but not so soon." Kairi stood up slowly, "You liar!" She said, "Get me out of here!" Kairi leaned against the wall with her arms folded. "If you want him you must get him yourself." Kairi looked up, "I don't know wha-"she was stopped, before in midair was a sword, but not like any other, it was long, slender and the end of it almost looked like the key blade she had seen Sora with so many years ago. But it was pink, with black designs, and off the end of it was three chains, each a shining silver, and off the end of each was a heart, crown, and star. She walked up to it and held out her hands, and gracefully it fell to her hands. "Take it, and be ready by morning tomorrow." She held onto it and swung it in her hands. The blade made a soft sound as it slashed the air, it seemed to respond to every action she made. It was beautiful, yet deadly.

Kairi awoke the next morning with a start. "Thank God that was only a dream..." she said, before looking next to her nightstand and seeing the same sword from her dream. Her blue eyes opened in shock, the voice had said to be ready by morning. "For what?" she asked herself, walking over to her closet. Her eyes fell upon the many choices in clothing, she took out a pair of black baggy pants that went past her feet, and a black top, that had a thick strap across her left shoulder, leaving her right shoulder bare. It had a large pink 'K' on it, she figured it would be comfy enough for whatever she was supposed to be doing. She walked over to her mirror and brushed her long auburn hair into place, using her comb for a zigzag part. "Okay I suppose this is decent." She said, looking in the mirror, she took the sword with her and walked into her kitchen.

It was still early, and the sun only had begun to rise. Kairi took the sword and placed it on her table, the chains clicked together as it set down. She walked over and took a box of cereal from her cabinet and poured it into a bowl. She got some milk from her refrigerator and poured that in as well, and sat down to eat. She stared at the sword, and remembered Sora, how he was sitting there. 'Why was he like that? Was it real? Is he okay? Did he forget his promise? Does he still think about me?' Kairi thought as she ate, so many questions and so few answers. She looked back at her half eaten bowl of cereal and then looked back at the sword, the black details had a bluish-purple glow, so did the blade itself, she followed the light with her eyes until she focused on her wall, where there was a glow of the same colors. It puzzled her for a moment, she put down her spoon and swallowed. Then took the sword and walked up to the strange light on the wall. She stuck her hand out and felt that there was no longer a wall there, but it seemed to be some sort of passage. 'Go...' A voice, but not her own, whispered through her mind, she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. "Here goes nothing..." She said reopening her bright blue eyes and walking through the colorful light.
