What's In a Name?
(Centric: Kairi)
I sit here, at my desk, my mind is sad and quiet, longing to see someone that I feel like I know, but can't remember. Who? Heh, this is going to sound strange, but I don't know who he is…I felt like I used to know, but for some reason, there's no name, no face to go with this memory. I do remember a promise though…a promise that whoever I'm trying to remember would come back. Why can't I remember his name? I feel like he was a very dear friend of mine…maybe even more…why else would I not be able to forget him completely? I can almost remember him, if that makes any sense. He had a silly, warm smile that melted my heart every time I saw it, I know that much. I remember my other friend, Riku…why not him? I think they used to play around together, but Riku isn't here for me to ask that, so I don't know for sure.
Wait…Riku…he disappeared with the darkness when I did. Riku found me, but my heart was gone and I was really depressed. My heart left me…and went to…to…that guy, the one I'm trying to remember! That's right…but…who is he, and why did my heart go to him when I was in trouble? I remember, while I was sitting in a jail of some sort, I heard his voice…I don't even remember what his voice sounds like…but I remember that I felt a little happier, but Riku took me away to some dark place. It was weird…I felt like I had been there before…then…I remember something else. Was it him? He…saved me, that boy saved me…he gave my heart back to me…but at a price, he lost his body and heart in the process. I remember being devastated when I watched him disappear, but I don't remember who he was. Then I remember seeing…shadows…but in them, I remember feeling his presence…I called out to him, he returned…but who is he. Why did he return when I called for him? He must have cared for me; why else would he do all that? He took me to safety in Traverse Town and there I stayed…I just remember walking around with a young lady named Aerith…now, why I remember her, a complete stranger, but not him, someone who apparently went to the ends of the earth to save me, is beyond me…and the next thing I knew, I was standing on a beach, our beach. Then he gave me a promise that he'd come back, that's pretty much the only thing I remember about him. I…miss him; I walk every day, looking skywards in the direction of the beach where I remember seeing him.
That's it! Maybe…there's a way to reach out to him, to contact him. I grab my pencil and begin jotting words down on the piece of paper before me.
"Thinking of you, wherever you are", man, I can't stop thinking about who you are, what little memories I have of you. "We pray for our sorrows to end," I pray everyday for your safe return…for you to keep your promise, "And hope that our hearts will blend." Even though I don't remember who you are, I know that my heart aches for you though. "Now, I will step forward to realize this wish." I'm not sure how…but I will see you again, even if I have to look for you. "There are many worlds," I know you're out there somewhere…trying to make it back home. "But they all share the same sky-" Even the hardest trials couldn't stop us from seeing each other. "One sky, one destiny." I may not know who you are…but I know that our fates, no, our hearts, are intertwined…we're bound to meet again. Satisfied, I walk over to my bed and fall into a peaceful sleep, the first in a while.
The next day I woke up and got ready for school...for some reason, I felt like I needed to pack my letter in my book bag, so I did…I also grabbed a small bottle as well, don't ask, because I'm not so sure myself. After school, I walked home with my good friend Selphie. As we talked, I figured out that she had no memory of the boy I was trying to remember…was I just dreaming about him, was my prince charming just part of my imagination? Just as I started to question whether or not this guy was real, I heard a voice call me "Naminé"…for some reason, it sounded familiar…was it his?
"Naminé? No, I'm Kairi?" I responded.
"Kairi? Oh, you're that girl he likes." The voice spoke, although he sounded disappointed, sad even…I guess he wasn't the one I was looking for, nor was I the one he was looking for…guess we both lucked out.
"Wait…'he likes?' Does he mean the one I'm trying to remember?" I thought to myself…maybe he wasn't a dream. I needed his name…I needed to know, so I asked him what it was...
"Oh, I'm Roxas." He replied, a little happier this time.
"Hello, Roxas…but could you tell me his name." I politely asked again. Just then another voice spoke to me…this one was familiar as well…it was his…his voice…so warm.
"You mean you've forgotten my name already? Thanks a lot, Kairi." The voice joked, he wasn't upset, why wasn't he? I had forgotten him, like he said…so why? "Okay, I'll give you a little hint…starts with an 'S'…" When he finished I woke up back on the path that Selphie and I were taking, she was standing over me, a look of worry in her eyes. I stood up and shook my head to wake myself up, then it dawned on me…he wasn't a dream after all. I took off towards the beach; now I knew why I had taken my letter.
"S…s…s…what is it?" I pondered as I ran down the street, Selphie close behind. We finally made it, and I placed it in the bottle I had taken from home. "Sai…Squall…no…"
"Wow…I hope he gets it." Selphie, cheerily smiled, it was genuine, but I don't remember too much of our conversation, I guess I was too focused on what his name was…but apparently we were talking about my message. During my thinking though, something finally clicked with me, I had a face, I had a smile, I had memories…I finally had a name.
"He will…isn't that right…Sora?" "Sora…sky…such a beautiful name…I can't wait to see you again." I smiled as I watched my bottle float away, carried about by the ocean's will. He will get it…I know he will.
A/N: Well, how'd I do, please let me know by reviewing please...I look forward to reviews, lol.
