2:.
Kairi
"KYAAAAAAAA!
Oh my god Sora, look!" Kairi screamed pointing to a figure in
the sand. She dashed behind her boyfriend, shaking. Just as she was
peeking over his shoulder, Sora started forward.
"Sora
where are you-" she began stumbling at the loss of her
support.
"Kairi,
stay here and wait for Riku," he said sharply.
Wow,
he sounds so...so...so serious... Kairi thought to
herself.
Kairi
watched nervously as Sora crept closer to the person, or what ever it
was, laying by the dock where she and Selphie had been sitting only
minutes ago. Wakka and Tidus nervously peeked out of the tree house
window.
"So.
What's going on?"
Kairi gasped. She didn't know Riku was
standing there.
"I...uh...well, I-I guess the explosion
was on a ship...and I think that's a p- person but..."
"I
see," he said, cutting her off and headed over to Sora.
Geez,
what's eating him?
Both boys were bent over the figure and
were whispering.
Why do I feel a little, I don't know,
left out???
So Kairi marched over to the boys and
demanded, "What's going on?? Who is it??"
"Shhhh!"
they said in unison.
Kairi rolled her eyes and looked at the
figure, which appeared to be a girl.
My god, she's my
age!
The girl's face was covered with sand, mud, seaweed,
and drying soot, probably from the explosion, so Kairi couldn't tell
exactly what she looked like. He clothes were caked in the same
matter, and only little bits of the vibrant colors on her clothes
could be seen.
Suddenly, the girl coughed and moaned, rolling
her head to the side.
"Owww..." she murmured.
"Back
up," Riku ordered, "give her some space.
The girl
opened her eyed and looked up at them. She quickly looked around, but
her gaze stopped and rested again on the three teenagers in front of
her. The girl's eyes shot wide open. She gasped and scuttled
backwards.
"Damn...where the hell am I?" she
murmured to herself.
She then spotted her sword and reached
for the hilt with a trembling, yet fast, hand, but Riku stepped on
the blade before she was even six inches away.
She gasped and
recoiled her hand as Riku said, "Isn't a toy like this a little
dangerous for someone in your position?"
Wobbling, and
glaring at Riku, she got to her feet and began to run in the opposite
direction.
"Hurry, we gotta catch her!" Sora yelled
to Riku, taking off after the girl.
"Right!" he
replied, and shot off after him.
"Wait for me!"
Kairi yelled.
Sora caught up to the runaway first.
"Don't
touch me!" she yelled, tears spilling from her eyes.
Sora
lunged, wrapped his arms around her, and rolled, skidding on his
back. The girl struggled to get loose, and succeeded by turning
around and punching Sora in the jaw. Ripping free from his grasp, she
dashed off, continuing on the same path as before.
"Oh my
god Sora! Are you ok?!" Kairi shouted, catching up and dropping
to Sora's side.
"Yeah, but that girl...she
was...crying..." he said slowly.
"What? Crying? ...I
wonder why..." Kairi mumbled to herself.
"Hey look,
Riku's almost got her!" Sora shouted, interrupting Kairi's train
of thought, getting up, and chasing once again.
"Damn
she's fast..." he added quietly as he was running.
Sora
and Kairi raced after Riku and the mystery girl. They were about 7
meters away when the girl stumbled and fell. Riku quickly slid,
slipped his arms under her, and caught her. She looked up at him, her
eyes filled now with fear (instead of the harshness before) and
tears, but they softened, clouded over, and she muttered something
that sounded a lot like 'Riku' before her light body went limp in his
arms. Sora and Kairi caught up to Riku just in time to hear him
muttering, "She fainted..."
He stood up and walked
over to Sora and Kairi, not burdened at all by the extra body he was
carrying.
"We should probably put her in the tree house
with Kairi" he said to Sora. "Besides, we definitely don't
want our parents to find out."
"Ok by me,"
Kairi shrugged.
Besides, I want to be the first to find out
about her anyway...
Kairi dashed up to the tree house,
where she lived, and fixed up a futon. Sora followed, and helped Riku
get the girl up the ladders.
Kairi overheard the boys
talking.
"Wow, she's really light!" Sora said as
Riku handed the girl up to him.
"I know. I think she
must've been a slave, or maybe a stowaway on the ship."
Working
together, Sora and Riku walked up the stairs, across the boardwalk,
up the ladder and onto the final level of the tree house with ease.
Kairi saw Riku looking at the girl's relaxed face as entered Kairi's
slightly messy house. She has been living there ever since her
parents went off on an expedition to find more about the
Heartless...but that was a whole year ago, so she assumed they
weren't coming back.
Riku lay the girl down on Kairi's couch,
and walked over to Sora and Kairi.
"Ok now you two, go on
home," she said.
"Wah?! Why?" Sora
whined.
Riku, blushing and getting that Kairi was going to
bandage and clean the girl, grabbed Sora by the hood and dragged him
out the cloth door while rolling his eyes and saying, "Come on,
you're girlfriend says go, so let's go!"
Kairi smiled,
Tee, hee, Sora's so cute when he does stuff like that...
Then
she turned her attention back to the unconsious girl, "Well,
let's get you cleaned up!
Half an hour later Kairi had cleaned
and bandaged the girl.
After being cleansed of all the debris,
the girl had a very appealing appearance. She had beautiful chestnut
hair with strikingly bright electric blue highlights running through
it in thick strips. She was wearing a black tube top earlier with a
leather thong laced up the side, but that along with her olive green
mini-shorts were drying in the sun.
She
wore chunky black sandals and had her toe and finger nails painted
black with silvery symbols inscribed in the polish.
Kairi saw
that in her left ear the girl had in 13 earrings. Most were large
silver hoops with a black wire spiraled around the circlet, seven to
be exact, but she had one little one that was in her inner part of
her ear. The rest of her earrings were little blood-red studs.
Her
opposite ear was identical, except without the inner and top most
earrings.
The girl also had three other blood-red pieces of
jewelry: an eyebrow and bellybutton ring along with a nose stud. She
was also wearing a red bandana with the same silver symbols out lined
in black printed on it. She also wore metal armbands; black with two
red striped (once again, the armbands had the silver symbols painted
in the black part) paint lines along the top and bottom.
The
girl was very tan and Kairi remembered her striking hazel eyes with
green flecks in them.
Just as Kairi was about to go to bed,
she noticed something reflecting in the setting sun.
There,
she thought, All done...hmm? What's this??
A ray of
sunlight came in through the open window, reflecting off two
necklaces the girl had on. Kairi bent over and looked at the flat,
rounded rectangular one first.
What is this? A dog tag or
something?
On the piece of metal was printed:
Azumi
Kiribayashi
Height:
5'7" Weight: 76 lbs.
Status:
Captain of the S.S. Kiribayashi
Kairi looked from the tag
to the girl and back.
So her name's Azumi...where have I
heard that before? And she's a captain of a pirate ship?!?! Well, she
sure doesn't look it... and Sora and Riku said she weighed almost
nothing...76lbs?!?!? Wow, I wish I could weigh that...
Kairi
reached for the next pendant. It was a beautiful golden heart with a
silver design curling diagonally in swirls to the left along the
crest. Sapphire stones, not red like everything else, embedded in the
silver ends of the curls were hit by the setting sun and made what
looked like dancing blue fairies twirl and jump along the wooden
walls. Kairi noticed that the heart had hinges on the left side.
It
must be a locket! Maybe there's a picture in it!
Kairi
quickly opened the locket and immediately regretted doing so, gasping
at what she found inside. There was a picture of a little girl and
boy. The girl obviously was Azumi, but the boy...he seemed so
familiar. His shaggy ivory hair, piercing blue eyes, and there was
something memorable about what he was wearing...he looked so much
like...
OH MY GOD!! It can't be! It just can't!
Kairi's
eyes opened wider, "That's...that's...impossible..."
