Text 358/2 Days: Kairi's Story

[Daniel Black 1,981]

Hey, I've been steadily getting back to writing more of this, after a week of having my time occupied by a project for a drawing class. But I know its been a while, and I'm sorry there's been such a long wait. So, to show my apologies, I've prepared a small package:

 

It includes some great Sokai art, and a song I just recently found that i think is beautiful. Haha, I hope you enjoy http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png The next part is on its way, and will be posted soon

Day 49: Thalassa Shell

 

“Oooh-kay! Independent study time!” Selphie called out.

 

Tidus, Wakka, and Kairi were all lined up, facing Selphie.

 

“Tidus-you’ll be looking for marine life in the waterfall pond”

 

“Right!” Tidus said with a nod.

 

“Wakka-you’ll be looking for plantlife”

 

“No problem!” Wakka said, putting up a fist.

 

“And Kairi-you’ll be collecting the seashells”

 

“’Kay” Kairi said with a nod.

 

“Sounds good-hehe. I’ll make sure to write down everything in our log, and when it’s finished, we’ll put everything together in this book!” Selphie held out a small, brown book, flipping through its blank pages. “Let’s meet back here in an hour, okay?”

 

The three of them nodded in return, and went their separate ways. It was well into the afternoon. The sun was shining down on the island, heating up the sand, making the ocean water clear enough to see the floor beneath it.

 

Kairi walked along the shore, beginning her search. After about a half an hour, she had a well-sized handful of seashells. She walked over to the wooden bridge that connected the smaller island. Once she made her way across, she set them down in a pile, right next to the papou tree. She turned around, making her way back to the shore.

 

____________

“Yoo-Tidus? Have you found anything yet?” Wakka was looking through the bushes that surround the small waterfall.

 

“Not yet!” Tidus called out. He was standing in the small pond, staring down at the water, right below the waterfall.

 

The two of them heard some shuffling in the distance.

 

“Hm? Did you here that?” Tidus asked.

 

They both stopped what they were doing, and looked up, listening closely.

 

“I don’t see anything…” Wakka said.

 

They waited a couple seconds, without moving.

 

“Must just be the wind or something” Tidus said, as the two of them went back to their search.

 

_____________

“Xemnas…her memories were wiped clean…is that right?” Saïx was leaned up against a wall, his hood covering his face.

 

Xemnas turned around slowly, looking over at him. “Correct…”

 

“And if that’s true…then that means….it’s only a matter time…”

 

Xemnas turned back around, looking out at The World that Never Was, from the windows of The Round Room

 

“Indeed…it is…

_____________

Kairi looked down at the sand. She noticed a small thalassa shell, right below her feet. She smiled, picking it up. It was one her favorites to collect.

 

“Oh-Kairi!” Kairi turned around to see Selphie, calling out to her. She was looking through the small brown book with confusion. “Have you seen the log anywhere?”

 

Kairi shook her head, walking towards her.

 

“This is so weird! I know I put it inside the book, but now, I can’t find it!” she said. Kairi took a quick look around.

 

“Oh-there!” Kairi pointed over to the dock. The log was leaning against the wooden stairs that led up to it.

 

“There it is!” Selphie said. She ran over to it, grabbing it, and placing it back inside the book. “Thanks Kairi.”

 

“Sure”

 

“I don’t understand. How did it get out?”

 

“Must just be the wind or something….”

 

Selphie looked up at the sky, trying to feel a breeze. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt the air so still.

 

______________

“Hold still little fish!” Tidus was holding a small camera, pointed down at the water. He was struggling to get a clear shot.

 

“Ey, we have to check in with Selphie now” Wakka said.

 

“Huh?!” Tidus looked up with surprise, accidently taking a picture of Wakka. He looked back down at the water, to see no fish.

 

“Aww mann!”

 

“Hey guys, how’s your search been so far?” The two of them looked over to see Kairi, walking towards them.

 

“Great!” Wakka said.

 

“Ehh..” Tidus said.

 

“C’mon, let’s check in with Selphie” she said, turning back around.

 

______________

The four of them laid their findings out across the sand.

 

“Hm..I think this is enough!” Selphie said, scribbling away on the log. She pulled out the small book. “Hey Tidus-let me see those photos”

 

Tidus handed her a short stack of photographs. Selphie shuffled through them, trying to find the best one. Some of them were fine, and

some were mistakes, but one in particular caught Selphie’s attention. “Huh?” she asked. “Whats…this?”

 

“What? Let me see” Tidus said. All three of them huddled around Selphie, looking down at the small photograph. On it, was the picture

Tidus mistakenly took of Wakka. It was a bit blurred, and titled to the side. On the right, was Wakka, standing in front of the camera, on the ledge that curved around island, leading into The Secret Place. On the left was the shore of the island, and the ocean, stretching out into the horizon. Behind Wakka’s shoulder, out into the distance, was a large, door-like makeup of darkness. A dark corridor, in mid-formation.

 

“Ey…I never saw dat…” Wakka said slowly.

 

“What do you think it is?” Selphie asked.

 

“I don’t know” Tidus said without interest, sitting back down across from Selphie.

 

“Oh no!”

 

Selphie looked up, to see Kairi, shuffling through her seashells.

 

“Where’s….where’s the thalassa shell?!”

 

 

“What’s wrong?” Selphie asked.

 

“I found a thalassa shell earlier…and now…its gone!” Kairi said, leaning back, with a sad look on her face.

 

The four of them were silent, noticing how troubled Kairi was.

 

“It’s alright Kairi….we’ve got all the shells we need” Selphie said

 

Kairi looked away. “Yeah…I guess you’re right…” She kept her head low, still saddened by the loss. Then, she felt a hand on her

shoulder. She looked up, to see Selphie looking back at her.

 

“Hey Kairi, it’s going to be sundown soon…you know what that means, right?”

 

Kairi smiled, knowing exactly what that meant.

________

“She may be of good use to us…in due time”

 

Xemnas said nothing in return.

 

“And Xion?”

 

Xemnas took a long pause, before speaking.

 

“Eventually….the puppet will play her part” he said slowly.

 

_________

The orange sun shined bright upon the mainland, glistening over the water, making a halo through the trees of the island. The four of them were sitting on top the grass hill, eating their sea-salt ice cream. Kairi was staring down at the ground, stilling mulling over the fact that the shell she found disappeared.

 

"Yeah I heard some other kids talking about him too! They say he wears a golden gauntlet on his arm!" Tidus says. Kairi looked back up with surprise when she heard him say that.

 

"What? That's crazy" Waka said as he takes another bite.

 

"I wonder what he's doing on the islands then...it doesn't sound like he's from around here," Selphie said

 

“Who?” Kairi asked.

 

“I don’t know…some mysterious man. No one has any idea who he is” Tidus said.

 

Kairi looked up at the sky. It’s been a few weeks since the last time she saw him.

 

-FLASHBACK-

 

“A fruit that brings together people’s destinies...if only…” He threw the star-shaped fruit aside, and turned around to walk away. Kairi looked up at the man’s face, getting a clear glimpse for the first time. His red eyes lacked any sign of emotion. He simply walked past her, without looking down.

 

-FLASHBACK ENDS-

 

“You know guys, we only have a few weeks before school starts!” Selphie said.

 

“Oh man! I’m scared…” Wakka said.

 

“Yeah…I kinda am too” Tidus said.

 

Kairi looked over at the three of them, with a reassuring smile. She turned, facing them.

 

“So if we’re scared, then lets make a promise!”

 

“Huh?” Tidus asked “What for?”

 

_________

“What you said back there kinda got brain...uh…thinkin’. Whenever you make a promise that’s super duper important, maybe it gives you the courage to face the scary stuff!” Goofy said.

 

 

Sora looked up, thinking over what he said. “Courage…” He looked back down, nodding with confidence”

 

_________

“Alright! Let’s do it!” Selphie said, getting up off the ground.

 

“Hehe. Even if we get scared, or in trouble, or even if we get separated!” Kairi said. She stuck out her hand, followed by the others.

 

_________

“Whatever happens, we’re friends!” Sora drove a fist into his other hand. He let go, and placed a hand on top Donald and Goofy’s.

 

 

“All for one, and one for all!” Donald yelled out.

 

_________

“All for one, and one for all!” Selphie called out, her hand resting on top her friend’s.

 

They all smiled, feeling the confidence of their newly made promise. They turned towards the landscape, watching the sun make it’s final descent into the waters. The stars were beginning to appear, one by one, high above the sky. If you watched closely, you could see one in particular, shining brighter than the rest. It was Castle Oblivion, where Sora was about to face Marluxia.

 

_________

Epilogue

 

Footsteps tapped along the hallway of the castle. A door slowly creaked open, as Xion walked over to Roxas’s bedside. She brought down her hood, smiling down at him. In her hands, she held a small thalassa shell.

 

“I went to a new world today Roxas, you should’ve seen it.” She glanced down, then back up again. “It was so beautiful.”

Day 84 PREVIEW

 

“Hey. I’m back”

 

DiZ and Namine turned around, looking at the young voice that called from behind. They took a long look at his change of apperance.

 

“Your eyes can’t lie, can they?” DiZ said.

Thank you man It means a lot. At first, when I began writing this day it didn't have any crossovers, but after looking over, I knew it was missing something

[Jason1 105]

If anyone is interested, I just finished editing Day 1-12. I made some subtle changes, corrected mistakes, and if you noticed, put everything in past tense instead of going back and forth between past and present, haha. Maybe consider it a celebration for the newly announced Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix? Haha, I don't know

Day 50-51: Light

 

 

Day 50

 

“Sora, some of your memory’s links, are deep within the shadows of your heart, and I won’t be able to find them. But don’t worry. You made another promise to someone, who you could never replace. She is your light. The light within the darkness.”

 

 

Sora smiled. Even though he couldn’t think of who this person was, the things he was hearing were more true than anything else in that moment.

 

 

“Remember her, and all the memories lost in the shadows of your heart, will come into the light.”

 

_________

Kairi slowly made her way down the trail that lead through the town’s gardens. She stopped, looking up at the morning sky. A light breeze ran through her hair. She could see the petals of wind slowly float by, carried off into the distance. Without reason, and without warning, a sudden, warm feeling ran through her. She closed her eyes, and smiled.

 

 

“You know----?----with ----all along”

 

 

 

“Finally-------together-------”

 

 

 

………

 

 

 

“I didn’t want----just forget----you--------“

 

 

“----darkness-----swallowed me”

 

 

 

“----brought me back”

 

 

 

………..

 

 

“The light---

 

 

 

---------

 

 

 

“No matter how deep the darkness…..”

 

 

 

 

“….a light shines within”

 

 

She looked back down, staring at her small hand, and closing it in a fist. “A…light?”

 

“Kairi!”

 

Kairi turned to see Tidus and Wakka running down the trail. They made their way to her, panting and out of breath. Tidus looked up first.

 

“Hey Kairi, have you seen Selphie? We’ve been looking for her all morning!”

 

“What?! Is she okay?”

 

“We don’t know…” Wakka said, looking down at the ground.

 

“She wasn’t at her house?”

 

“Nope. We’ve checked almost everywhere” Tidus said.

 

“What about the plaza?”

 

“That’s where we’re going now. Can you come help us?” he said.

 

“Of course! Kairi said with a nod. She followed the two of them down the trail that led into town.

 

_________

“Greetings kupo, you look like your lookin’ for someone. How about somethin’ from the shop to help then, kupo. C’mon, whattya say,

kupo?

 

Kairi, Tidus, and Wakka were all staring back at the little moogle, without the slightest bit of interest in buying anything.

 

“Have you seen a girl, about dis high, with brown hair and a yellow dress?” Wakka asked.

 

“Sorry, can’t say that I have, kupo”

 

“Thanks anyway” Kairi said, walking off with the rest of the group.

 

The three of them walked around the entire plaza; asking all the different shops, looking everywhere they could think of.

 

“Man, where could she be?” Tidus said.

 

“Who knows…” Wakka said.

 

“Aw, you’re so cute, aren’t you little guy? Yes you are…”

 

“Huh?!” The three turned around, to see Selphie, smiling and laughing, holding her hand out towards a baby chocobo.

 

“Selphie!” Tidus called out.

 

She turned, looking back at her friends with a smile. “Hey guys!” she waved over at them. She was standing in front of a chocobo

breeder’s stand.

 

“Where’ve you been? We’ve been looking all over for you!” Tidus said.

 

“Oh, really?” she had a surprised look on her face. “I got up this early this morning. After taking a walk around the town, I came here,

to check out the baby chocobos, see?” She bent down, petting it on the head.

 

“Aww, so cute!” Kairi cheered, leaning into the pet the tiny chocobo.

 

“Wark!” it called out in a tiny, high-pitched voice.

 

The four them giggled. The two of them got up, following Tidus and Wakka back into town.

 

_________

The sun’s afternoon rays were shining bright upon the town’s trail. Selphie and Kairi were walking together, behind Tidus and Wakka who were far ahead of them.

 

“You know Kairi, I was thinking...”

 

“Hm?” Kairi turned to look at Selphie.

 

“…when I was walking around town. Remember what I said before? About our memories, and how they keep us together.” She

brought her head up to face the sky. “Maybe it’s more than that. Because…sometimes…we forget things. But, that doesn’t mean our

memories are gone.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“Sometimes…you, or Tidus, or Wakka, remembers something for me…that I forgot. And when one of you tells me, then I remember! So

that means…the memories were never gone, just somewhere inside me that I couldn’t see. Do you know what I mean?”

 

Kairi looked down at the ground. She knew exactly what she meant, much to her surprise. It was like her words were speaking to apart

of her she didn’t know.

 

“You were thinking a lot, weren’t you, Selphie?”

 

“Hehe. I guess…” Selphie looked back at Kairi. “If our memories are lost in the dark, then each of us can be the light that brings them

back! Especially with our promise” Selphie smiled and turned back around, continuing her walk down the trail.

 

Kairi stood in place. She looked up at the sky; at the sun that was shining down upon her.

 

“The light that brings them back…” she thought to herself.

 

“C’mon Kairi!” Tidus called out. Her friends were far ahead of her on the trail.

 

“Oh-” She looked back down. “Coming!” she said, running over to them.

 

The sun was inching closer to its orange tone of dusk. Petals of the wind flew by, carried off into the distance, landing softly in the

gardens of the mainland’s town.

 

“When I turned into a Heartless, you saved me, remember? I was lost in the darkness. I couldn’t find my way. As I stumbled through the

dark, I started forgetting things—my friends, who I was. The darkness almost swallowed me. But then I heard a voice—your voice. You

brought me back.”

 

“I didn’t want to just forget about you, Sora…I couldn’t.”

 

 

Day 51

 

“C’mon Wakka I’ll race you!”

 

“Haha-oh man. Let’s go!”

 

“Hehe-wait for me guys!”

 

Tidus and Wakka ran ahead along the shore of the mainland, followed by Selphie.

 

 

She turned to look out at the shore, and noticed someone standing there, looking out at the ocean.

 

 

It was Kairi, all alone. She stopped, and walked over to her. Her eyes were closed, and her hand was held close to her chest.

 

 

Selphie was surprised by her sudden trance. She opened up her eyes, and looked out at the island.

 

 

“Selphie…what you said yesterday…about the light. What if…the person who’s supposed to be your light…isn’t there”

 

Selphie looked over at the island, thinking over what she said. “Hmm…well, I don’t think its about whether there with you or not.”

 

Kairi turned, looking at Selphie in surprise. “Huh?”

 

“If someone’s your light, then your hearts are connected. And that means, no matter how far apart they are, they’re still with you.”

 

Kairi looked back out at the sea. She couldn’t think of anything to say. She just stared out at the sea, and the sun, approaching dusk.

 

“So no matter how deep into the dark someone might be, as long as they hold on, with their heart, a light shines within.” Selphie smiled,

and looked over at Kairi. “C’mon, lets get some ice cream.”

 

Kairi smiled, and nodded. The two of them turned, and started walking back. Kairi kept walking, but turned to face the island. The light

of sunset shined bright upon its trees, and glistened on the water that surrounded it. She gave a faint smile, then turned back around.

 

“I didn’t want to just forget about you, Sora…I couldn’t.”

 

“That’s it! Our hearts are connected. And the light from our hearts broke through the darkness. I saw that light. I think that’s what saved

me. No matter how deep the darkness…a light shines within.”

 

________

 

A star-covered night sky hung above Kairi’s head, as she walked back to her house. She reached the front porch, and opened the door,

stepping inside.

 

“I’m home!” she called out.

 

It was completely silent.

 

“Huh?” Kairi said to herself in confusion. She looked down at the ground, where a small package was lying on the floor. There was a

note attached.

 

Kairi, sorry to leave you alone for the night, but town hall’s meeting should be running late. Supper’s on the table, and I’ll be back by

morning. Your school uniform came in today! Sleep well, and do take care.

 

The Mayor

 

Kairi smiled, and opened up the package, looking inside with wonder. She reached inside, and pulled out a white collared shirt, holding

it up in the air. She looked inside again, and saw a blue skirt with a plad design, a matching tie, two black shoes, and dark blue socks.

 

 

 

-Epilogue: 358/2 Days Secret Reports: Day 51-

 

The Replica Program continues apace, but something has gone wrong at Castle Oblivion. The Dusks returned with word that none of those we dispatched survived - but the news came in fragments. I still know too little to extract the truth. I doubt Axel would be among those lost, but I must plan for the worst. First, I must locate the Keyblade master.

 

Saïx looked up, setting down the pen and small journal.

 

-FLASHBACK: Day 49-

 

“Xemnas…her memories were wiped clean…is that right?” Saïx was leaned up against a wall, his hood covering his face.

 

Xemnas turned around slowly, looking over at him. “Correct…”

 

“And if that’s true…then that means….it’s only a matter time…”

 

-FLASHBACK-

 

Saïx closed the book, setting it inside a small drawer with the pen. He got up, stepping out into the hallway.

 

“At some point…he may need some…incentive”

Day 84 PREVIEW

 

Ignoring the comment, he looked up at the large pod, where Sora was floating in a peaceful slumber.

 

“How’s he doing?”

 

“He is stable, and progressing steadily. However, much still hangs in the balance.” DiZ said.

 

Namine took a few steps forward. She looked down, keeping her hands close together.

 

“The Organization is at work” DiZ added.

 

Namine raised her head, smiling at him; staring straight into the black blindfold that covered his eyes. “Will you be alright, Riku?”

Thanks a lot man Yeah! That scene in Kingdom Hearts II when Kairi exchanges dialogue with Selphie on the mainland was a great inspiration for writing this. When I first started writing, I planned to include that visible bond between the two of them, as the only girls of the group who could talk to each other as so

[Jason1 105]

While researching for the next day, I noticed something I've never seen before. Has anyone ever noticed the tiny moogle keychain on Selphie's purse from Kingdom Hearts II? You only get a moment's glimpse of it in the game, haha, but I thought it was a funny, subtle cameo

Day 84: First Day of Class

Kairi twirled around, looking in the mirror; wearing her new uniform. She looked up at her hair, running her fingers through the back of it. It was starting to gain a bit of length, much to her surprise.

“Kairi!” The voice came from outside. She went over to her bed, climbing on top, and opened up her window, looking outside. The morning breeze ran through her hair, as the sun shined bright upon the islands. She looked down, and saw Tidus and Selphie, standing in front of her house. They were both wearing their school uniforms. Selphie held a small white purse, laced with pink, holding a keychain of two golden stars, and one of a small moogle. Tidus had a small blue backpack held over his shoulders.

“Hey guys!” Kairi waved, looking down at the two of them cheerfully.

“Hurry Kairi! We’re gonna be late!” Tidus said.

“Kay” Kairi nodded, going back inside, then downstairs, grabbing her badge-colored purse, then heading out the front door. She ran up to the two of them, and followed from behind as they walked down the mainland’s trail.

Selphie looked over at Kairi. “Hey Kairi, do you know who the class instructor is this year?”

“Hmm…” Kairi looked up. “No idea” she said, looking over at her.

“Eyy!” Wakka called out from afar. He was farther ahead on the trail, waving at them.

“Wakka! How you feeling man?” Tidus asked.

Wakka stretched out his collar, right above his loosened tie. “Uncomfortable brudda…” he said with an uneasy look on his face.

The three of them laughed, looking up at the building ahead. Destiny Islands Academy.

The beeps and clicks of a working device filled the empty room with its only sound. The walls were blank, only bearing a light blue haze. If you listened closely, you could also hear the sound of floating bubbles, coming from that very same device.

“You have no choice…”

“Hey. I’m back”



DiZ and Namine turned around, looking at the young voice that called from behind. They took a long look at his change of appearance.



“You’re eyes can’t lie, can they?” DiZ said.

Ignoring the comment, he looked up at the large pod, where Sora was floating in a peaceful slumber.

“How’s he doing?”

“He is stable, and progressing steadily. However, much still hangs in the balance.” DiZ said.

Namine took a few steps forward. She looked down, keeping her hands close together.

“The Organization is at work” DiZ added.

Namine raised her head, smiling at him; staring straight into the black blindfold that covered his eyes. “Will you be alright, Riku?”

 

 

_______

Kairi, Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka were all waiting anxiously in their classroom desks.

"I wonder what were gonna do today" Tidus whispered, leaning in from his desk.

"Probably go over our summer work" Kairi said quietly.

Selphie turned around in her desk. "Yeah! Or maybe even--

"Good morning class." A woman's voiced called from afar.

The four of them looked up, as heels clicked along the ground, stepping in front of the green chalkboard. It was the instructor. She was wearing long, black, boots, that led up to a black skirt, and black blouse. Attached to her collar were two wing-like flaps, laced with gold, and a maroon tie that went down the center. Her dark blonde hair was in a ponytail, with hair dropping down from both sides of her face. She fixed her glasses, and placed her hands on her hips.

"My name is Ms. Trepe. I'd like to welcome you all to a new year of school." She smiled. "Today we'll begin by going over the summer assignment."

The sound of shuffling books and papers filled the room, as the class pulled out their summer work.

"One would suffice that Sora's fate lies in the actions of all those connected to him" DiZ said.

"Are you giving me another choice?" Riku asked sternly.

"His nobody is interfering, capturing Sora's memories as his own. Without him, Sora will not be able to awaken. I doubt there is any choice here at all"

Riku turned around. "Where do I find him?"

DiZ paused before speaking. "He is the Organization's thirteenth member."

Riku stepped out, without saying a word.

Tidus stretched out his arms, letting out a sigh of relief. "Ahh. Great first day" He was walking alongside Wakka, Selphie, and Kairi, down the mainland's trail.

"Yeah, I guess our promise really did help!" Selphie said cheerfully.

Kairi looked up at the orange sky. She smiled.

“Hey…you guys go on without me.” Kairi stopped, as the others kept walking, then slowly eased to a halt, looking back at her.

“Did you forget something?” Selphie asked.

Kairi shook her head. “I’ll see you guys later” She smiled back at them, and turned around, heading in the other direction. Selphie
turned to look at Tidus, who simply shrugged his shoulders in confusion.
