Prologue
Kairi POV
I missed them. I needed them, but they weren't here. Day after day I wait for one of them to miraculously show up on the shore. But 12 months have gone by, and there hasn't been a trace of either of them. Have they forgotten me? Have they….dare I think it, died? No. I won't think that; I would have felt it if they passed on. I would feel there deaths like a wound, and I have not felt such a sensation yet.
Every night, for the past year, I have sat on the beach of Destiny Islands and wait, wait for something. Sora promised me he would come back, and I know he will. He said he would find Riku as well. But, what if he can't. No, I need to think positive thoughts. They will come back, I know they will, then everything will go back to the way things were and-
My thoughts were cut off as I heard footsteps behind me. I turned and saw Tidus walking down the beach towards me. I knew why he was here. Ever since our world was restored, Tidus took it upon himself to take care of me, as a favor for Sora. He doesn't like it that I sit out here every night, waiting. He says it's bad for my health. But I stopped caring about that. I have gotten thinner, and I let my hair grow out. Truthfully, I have begun to lost hope that Sora and Riku will return. I have become distant, and the only thing that keeps me going is a small hope that they will return, and I will be here waiting for them.
"Kairi, can you please come inside. It's cold out here at this time of night." Tidus said, as he stopped behind me. He was right, it was cold. But I didn't care. I would stay out here no matter what. "There's no point in convincing you, is there?" he continued. I shook my head, but my gaze was on the stars. "Fine then." He replied and sat on the sand next to me. I looked at him in surprise. Tidus usually went back home and went to sleep. But truthfully, I didn't mind the company.
We sat in awkward silence for a while, then Tidus spat out, "I know you miss them Kairi, we all do but---"
I turned to him and narrowed my eyes, "What? Are you saying that you think they aren't coming back?"
He looked at me in surprise, "No, no. That's not what I'm saying…"
"Then what are you saying!" I felt all the feelings I had kept to myself all these months bubbling to the surface.
"I'm saying that I don't think either of them would want you out here every night, waiting for them. It's not good for you…I mean look at you! You look completely emaciated. If I didn't get you to eat something for lunch, you probably wouldn't eat at all."
At this remark, I sighed. I didn't want to explain everything I felt. I didn't want to taint Tidus's happy personality with my depressed feelings. I leaned back and lay on the sand, with Tidus following suit. And soon I felt myself drift into an unwanted slumber.
