Me: This is my second chapter on Kingdom Hearts.
Kairi: I hate Sky….
Sora and Riku: -drools-
I would like to dedicate this chapter to Julie for the first one to review! Thank you so much, Julie!
Kairi heard the giggling sounds outside the tree house, as she turned herself around. Standing up, she sneaked over to the secret place Sora, Riku, and she shared since their sweet childhood. She kneeled down, and stared at the picture Sora drew for her a long time ago. She sighed, and walked through the wooden board that served as a simple door. She looked down at the little shrine, and prayed. It was her mother's death anniversary, and it was obvious that she missed her: a lot. She closed her eyes, and held the picture of her mother in her hands.
'I miss you…nothing's the same anymore…' she stared at the picture, and smiled to herself. The picture showed Kairi as a small child with no worries, hugging her mom tightly. She had her mother's beauty, and she knew that. Kairi sighed, and put the picture back. She left.
Sora splashed the water onto Sky's face, as he dived under and grabbed Riku. They laughed, and wrestled each other in the water. Sora laughed, and sighed. None of them noticed the fact that Kairi was watching their every move. She glared angrily at Sky, and scowled. She was feeling a strange, yet pleasant feeling inside her that she could not describe. She felt a burst of fire inside her, as she ran towards the paopu tree. She ran blindly, leaving them behind. Sora glanced back, and saw Kairi with her head down low.
"Kairi, where are you going?" Sora got out of the water, and yelled loudly. She did not reply. "Kairi!" Sora sighed, but did not bother to chase after her.

Kairi panted, and rested against the paopu tree. She looked up at the star-shaped fruit, and looked out towards the ocean. A shiny object in the distance came closer and closer, as she stepped onto the beach. Covering her eyes, Kairi heard a loud thud as sand flew all around her. She opened her eyes, and smiled.
"Donald, Goofy!" Kairi hugged them both, and looked at them. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Well, can't a duck and a dog take a vacation sometime? King Mickey gave us special permission." He smiled, and dropped his suitcase on the sand. Kairi looked at the gummi ship, and smiled.
"Hey, can I borrow the gummi ship for…" she stared at Donald "Let's say, a few months?" Donald gasped, and opened his mouth widely.
"What do you want it for?" Donald stared at her suspiciously, and walked around her.
"I want to get out of here!" She turned around as she heard Sora's voice coming closer. "Hurry, I have to leave now!" Kairi ran towards the paopu tree, and grabbed a few of those precious fruits.
'Just in case.' she smiled, and climbed into the ship. Sora panted, and looked up at them.
"Kairi, where are you going?" Donald climbed into the ship along side Kairi, as she glared at him.
"I'm going to a place where some people will appreciate me for who I am. " Kairi puffed, and looked away. "Somewhere people won't replace me with another person."
"Is this what it's all about?" Sora yelled through the loud noise. "Is it about Sky?" Kairi did not bother replying to him, as the ship flew up.
"Kairi, wait!" Sora reached up, but barely touched the ship.
"You and Riku have already abandoned me for Sky." She yelled through the loud wind. "I'm never coming back again!" She knew that leaving Destiny Island was a big mistake, but she could always find another place to go, to live alone and do as she please. Sora watched Kairi fly off into the stars, as he slumped down onto the sand.
"It's ok, Sora." Goofy tried to comfort him. "I'm sure she'll be back." Sora looked up, and shook his head.
"She's never coming back." He whispered. "Never."
>>>>>>>>
Kairi looked out at the stars and the planets, as she sighed and looked over at Donald.
"So, where do you plan to stay?" She shrugged, and smiled.
"You know that place where Beauty and the Beast were?" She smiled, and looked over at him. "I want to go there."
"One Hollow Bastion coming right up!" He stepped on the gas, as they blasted through the worlds. Before she knew it, she was in front of the giant castle. Hopping over stones, she made her way to the top. Slowly yet steadily, she stepped into the cordless elevator, which transported her to the main lobby.
"Well, if it isn't Kairi." She turned around as she heard someone say her name. She smiled; glad to see a familiar face.
"Hi Beauty!" she hugged her tightly "How are you?" Beast came forward, and smiled.
"We're going on a vacation, but you don't have to worry." She smiled, and patted the top of Kairi's head. "Some people said they'd love to live here before we come back." She smiled, and begins to leave. Kairi waved, and watch them depart.
'I wonder who it could be…' Kairi walked into the library with Donald beside her, as she gasped.
"Well, hello Kairi." Aerith smiled at her, as Yuffie waved.
"What are you guys doing here? Besides taking care of the house." Kairi sat down in the soft chair, as Leon stepped up.
"We're studying Ansem's report. We still haven't got that figure out yet." He combed his hair back with his fingers, and stood next to Aerith. Kairi looked at them both, and stared in jealously.
'They are such a perfect pair…' She thought to herself. 'Unlike some people I know.' She sighed, and looked away. She was feeling…jealous, but she could not stop thinking about Sora and Riku. She shook her head, and left.
"What's with that girl?" Leon looked at Kairi weirdly, and chuckled. Yuffie walked over to Leon and Aerith, and smiled.
"I think someone's jealous of you two!" Yuffie laughed, and walked out.
'Jealous?' Aerith shook her head, and looked back at the book.

Sora sat down in the sand, looking beyond the ocean. Goofy walked up to him, and patted his shoulder.
"Are you ok, Sora?" Sora did not reply. Riku and Sky walked up to him, and looked over.
"Hey, Sora, what's up?" Riku looked over at her. Sora looked up, and glared at Sky angrily.
"It's your entire fault!" Sora stood up, and yelled loudly in Sky's face. "It's your entire fault that Kairi's not here anymore! I shouldn't have fallen over you!" Riku got in front of Sky, and protected her.
"Hey, dude, what's the deal?" Riku stared angrily at Sora. "What's your problem?"
"What's my problem? What's MY problem?" Sora yelled angrily into Riku's face, and spat in the sand. "It's that entire witch's fault that Kairi left Destiny Island! I don't even know where the hell she is!" He slammed his fist into Riku's stomach, and looked down.
"And why is that a reason to get mad?" Riku removed his fist, and picked him up by the collar. "Is getting mad the only way to get Kairi back? I don't think so!" He threw Sora across the sand, as Sora groaned loudly. Sora stood up weakly, and walked slowly towards Riku.
"It's…all…your…fault…" Sora collapsed weakly on the sand, as Goofy ran over to help him.
"Riku, Sora's right! Kairi did leave Destiny Island!" Goofy held Sora over his shoulder, and looked over at Riku.
"Where did she go?" Riku stared at the ocean.
"We don't know. No one knows." Goofy left, leaving Sky and Riku on the sand. Sky hugged Riku, and smiled at him.
"Let's think about that later." They walked the opposite direction, as the paopu tree swayed back and forth in the distance.

Kairi woke up from a long sleep, as she walked down the grand stairs. Looking at Aerith, she smiled.
"Well, good morning, Kairi." She smiled, and handed a cup of orange juice to Kairi. "What do you plan to do today?" Kairi shrugged, and sipped on the semi-sweet juice.
"Leon and I are going to read more of the Ansem's report." Aerith smiled, and left. Kairi slammed the cup on the table, and left the castle doors. She looked around, and climbed up the stairs. She found another stairs followed by the one she just climbed, as she walked towards the steps.
"You wouldn't want to go there." She turned around, as Leon heaved his sword on his shoulder. "It's not safe." Kairi turned around, and glared.
"Why do you care?" She walked down the stairs, and left Leon alone. Leon smirked, and disappeared. With nowhere to go, Kairi walked back to the library and grabbed a book. Suddenly, a door behind the shelves swung open and a cold blast of wind hit Kairi on the face. Gulped, she stepped in.
>>>>>>>>
'Sora, it's your entire fault!' Kairi stared angrily at Sora, as Riku and Sky stood under a palm tree and shared a paopu fruit. Kairi walked over to Sky, and smacked her across the face.
'Kairi, what the hell was that?' Riku roared at her, and glared.
'For leaving me behind after all those years we spent together.' Kairi looked back at Sora, and smiled lightly. 'You too, Sora. And you won't be seeing me again anymore.' Sora ran towards Kairi, but somehow she seems to be getting further and further away each time.
'No, Kairi, come back!' He reached forward, as Kairi slipped out of his grasp. 'Kairi!'
Sora woke up with a thump, as he fell onto the hard wooden floor. He looked around, and found Goofy sleeping on a chair. Sora closed his eyes, and shook his head lightly. He stared out at the sunset beyond the ocean, and hopped out of the window. He ran towards the paopu tree, and sat down beneath it. He sighed, and leaned back.
'Kairi, where are you?' Sora stared at the fading clouds, and closed his eyes as a drop of blood came out of his arm. 'Where are you?'
>>>>>>>>
Kairi felt another blast of wind on her face, as she walked towards the dim light at the far end. She closed her eyes, as she got closer and closer, as a golden mirror shinned in front of her. Seeing her own reflection, she places her hand on the mirror and tilted her head. She somehow looked different, yet the same appearance. The door closed shut behind her, as Kairi backed away slowly and looked around.
"The heart within you are swallowing all your friendship past with Sora and Riku. Choose your own destiny, choose your own path." The soft voice subsided, as Kairi saw a golden light shine behind the mirror. Peeking, an ivory-white sword with golden handles slid into her two hands. Looking at the shiny blade and feeling the soft feathers at the end, she enclosed it in the scabbard and tied it around her waist. She smirked, and left the room.
