Riku could only laugh at the eager smile on Kairi's face.

"What's so funny?"

Shaking his head, Riku spoke, "Nothing. But you know since this is only your first day of training, you're not fighting anything, right?"

The previous expression on the redhead's face dissolved into a small frown. She sighed before asking her instructor what her first lesson was. To this, Riku walked up to the teen and took her flower-embellished blade and tossed it to the ground.

"Hey!" Kairi said, clearly confused and slightly aggravated, "What was that for?"

"Materialize it," Riku said flatly, returning to his post.

Kairi cocked her head to the side.

"Like this." Putting out one hand in front of him, Riku focused energy to his palm and within a second, Way to Dawn appeared in his grip. Kairi stared wide eyed at her friend. He made it look so simple.

Determined, the trainee stuck out her hand. "Okay, so now what?"

"Focus. Imagine you're in immediate danger and that keyblade is your only ticket to safety," Riku instructed.

Puffing out some air and closing her eyes, Kairi tried her best to materialize her golden key in her hand. When nothing happened in over a mintute, she sucked her teeth. "Nothing's happening, Riku!"

Riku remained silent, trying to think of something that would boost her initiative to call forth her weapon.

"Riku?" Kairi asked, her eyes still closed.

"Kairi! Sora's in trouble!"

"Sora?" The girl shouted, opening her eyes at the name, not even noticing Destiny's Embrace in her tightening grip. After realizing it was just a cruel joke of Riku's she looked down and gasped happily. She smiled to herself, "I did it!"

Riku shared the smile before adding, "Now de-materilailze it."

Once again, Kairi's expression faded into a small frown.
