A/N: I wish I owned Kingdom Hearts. I really do, because I could then make this virtual reality machine and go live in the game. But I can't. -tear-

Reviews are love, children. :DD

When Sora said he'd come back for Kairi, she never realized what that really meant.

Back in when, a week? In a month? A lifetime?

Kairi eventually did find out how vague his words really were; by that time, she would've just been happy to hear his name again. Memories do fade, after all, some faster than others. Little did she know there was another ultimate cause to her mind's loss.

On the flipside, Sora had always remembered Kairi. Or so he had thought as he chased hopelessly after his other nameless female companion, better known as Naminé.

Who could blame the kid? Naminé and Kairi were so eerily alike, with their pale complexions, sparkling bright eyes, cherub faces, and docile personalities. They might as well have been the same person (they were, were they not?) so Sora never really knew: same smile, same girl, same difference.

So as Sora rushed to Naminé's side, Kairi sat on the seashore, dutifully awaiting his return.
