In which Kairi finally makes an appearance, and all is possibly
not so resolved after all
Post-KHII (Dodecal - 144
words)
A quick note to go with this one - I've always felt a little disappointed with Kairi as a character, given that she's billed as being so important and yet has so little role in the games. That said, should any hypothetical future installment to the series make Kairi a regular party member, I will that last person you hear complain.
Kairi looks almost comical holding Sora's pilfered training sword out in front of her. Her grip's wrong, for one thing, her stance is even worse.
Riku hefts his own weapon and scratches his head. "Why the sudden interest? You never wanted to learn before." Not even when Selphie went through her girl-power phase and put the fear of those nun-chucks into all of them overnight.
"'Where ever one of us goes, the others follow', remember?" Kairi puts a hand on her hip and waves the sword at him like she's lecturing a small child. "Next time you and Sora run off to save the world, I'm not getting left behind because I'd only be in the way."
Riku blinks at her. "You're that sure there's going to be a next time?"
Kairi gives him a pleasantly exasperated look. "I'm not stupid, you know. Ready?"
