Kimichi: The teenager who's still a child.

Everyone was panting exhausted. What had just happened? Everything was so fast ...almost two dimensional...

Many, many questions were running through everyone's mind.

Hope and Despair looked at each other and then at everyone else. Things were just getting a little weird.

Kimichi seemed fine, but she was ever so slightly sad. "I worked so hard on that fair..." Her childlike little face looked close to tears.

Despair went to her aid immediately, not wanting her to cry.

"Hey...don't cry...it's alright." Despair spoke gently, smiling at her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "First off...we need to do introductions. I'm Despair...and you?"

This little girl smiled a little. "I'm Kimichi." Despair grinned and looked at everyone.

"Well you guys? Introduce yourselves!"

"Oh no, you don't-"

"It's the least we could do." Kimichi laughed a little and nodded motioning for them to continue she put her hands behind her back and looked at everyone waiting.

Snow was first up and he pointed at himself with his thumb. "Snow's the name! I'm the hero of the group."

"Lightning." Said the electrical attitude herself, her hand on her sword. Kimichi smiled. "It's nice to meet you. You're weapon looks really neat too." Lightning huffed a response.

"I'm Sarah. It's a pleasure to meet you." Sarah held out her hand and Kimichi took it. "You look a a lot like lighting. You two must be sisters!" Sarah laughed at her cute innocence and nodded.

"Sauze, this is my son Dodge." The man motioned to the smaller boy, the Chocobo also peeping to make an introduction.

"Hi~" the little boy said to her, his big smile lighting up such a cute little face. "My Dad has a chocobo in his hair!"

Kimichi waved, nodding and giggling a little then turned the others.

Yuuj and Maki introduced themselves, as well as the mystery girl who called herself Rose.

Hope was the last and he bowed a little bit.

Kimichi gave them all a warm smile. "Well it's nice to meet you all." She giggled and looked around. "Would you all like some tea?"

Everyone nodded and Kimichi went to the kitchen area. She began to gather the things to make the tea with, when She heard a voice behind her.

"So how is everything going?" A boy taller than her by a head walked out of the walk in freezer and he looked her up and down. His face turning into a bit of worry.

"You look shakin' up...what went on?" Kimichi turned away and tried to distract herself from the awful memory.

"Was it the shadow's?" Kimichi froze and teared up and nodding. "Kimi-" Abruptly Kimichi turned around and threw herself into her friends arms.

The boy patted her head and rubbed light circles in her back. "It'll be alright Kimichi...at least there are real people here now.."

Kimichi's voice came out muffled as she spoke into her friends chest. "Sora...do you think they'll want to stay here...?"

Sora sighed pausing for a moment to figure out how to answer her. "I don't know Kimi...they were taken from their home..."

Kimichi sniffled and nodded. She peeled herself from her friend and smiled at him. "I sometimes wonder if you really are made from a computer...you don't feel any different from an ordinary person..." Her freind laughed.

His style consisted of mostly gray or white...on everything.

His skin was as pale as paper, Sora's eyes were the color of an ominous cloud threatening to storm.

His wispy hair was a lightning strike of white. The clothes he wore, were a white T-shirt. He wore a pendant of an ancient symbol meaning "to be".

Even though he was taller than Kimichi, he was younger than her, though it didn't seem like it. For as long as Kimichi could remember; Sora had always taken care of her.

When she was sad, he was there to comfort her. If Kimichi were hungry, he would make her food. In a sense you could call him a brother...or a butler without the formalities.

Sora moved to a kettle and filled it with water. He Turned the stove on, placing the silver onto the burner, and then turned around. "Are they what you expected...?"

Kimichi looked at the ceiling trying to think of an answer. She giggled and smiled with her eyes closed. "They're even better!"

Sora nodded. He looked down to the floor and saw that she wasn't wearing any shoes. Her gold anklet with four different colored gems shining proudly. "Kimi...You should real try to-" Dodge skipped in and looked up at Sora and cocked his little head. "Who're you...?"

Sora sighed disliking it a little, that he had been cut off by a child. He bent down to Dodge's level. "Just a wandering cloud." He tried to make himself sound mysterious, but only managed to make Dodge giggle. Despair came in after the little boy and looked at the three.

"So..." Despair said, surprising Sora but not Kimichi. "How's the tea coming...will it be done anytime soon?"

Sora straightened. "The water is heating up. Unfortunately, in here we do the old fashioned way by boiling the water on an ancient invention called a stove. Unlike the preffered instant."

Despair raised an eyebrow. "Kimichi...is this you're butler? I think he needs a few lessons on manners."

Sora stared haughtily at Despair. "If that were true, then I wouldn't of allowed you in the house wearing such attire now would I...?"

"You're the one wearing you're night clothes."

"At least I don't look like a bumble bee!"

"I dress in black and blue bub!" Despair countered, motioning to his black and blue clothes. "But at least I dress with personality unlike you, ghost boy!"

"Being a ghost doesn't mean I don't have a personality unlike insects, who do not! Unless of course you would rather the term of a bruise gone wrong!"

These two as they argued got so close that their noses were touching when this argument came to an end.

Kimichi giggled. "I see you two are going to get along."

The both of them looked at Kimichi with disbelief on their faces. "NO WE'RE NOT!"

Kimichi only giggled again, for the both of them had spoken at the same time.
