Mitsue went to her second closet and pushed aside all the fancy dresses revealing a long black, collared, zipped dress, a blue tank top and a white pair of shorts. She pulled the clothes out of the closet and closed the door. She took the dress that she was wearing off leaving her in her underwear. Mitsue walked in front of a mirror and examined herself. She stared at her own curves and sighed, "Well, this is just great… I'm as skinny as a toothpick! No muscle, just skin and bones. I guess not exercising for months on end or eating for three days really takes a toll on someone who is already skinny." She walked over to her bed where her clothes were spread out. She slipped on the white shorts and pulled the tank top over her head. She picked up her dress and threw it over her shoulder while she picked up her keyblade. Then Mitsue walked to her door and looked back to scan the room. Her eyes were drawn to the picture on the bed. She turned away and walked out the door."For some reason, I have a feeling that this is going to be a long journey."
The boy from the beach slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He yawned then fell back into the sand and then looked up to see a red haired girl bent over looking down at him. He jumped up, "Whoa!" The girl giggled as the boy said "Give me a break, Kairi." Kairi leaned back and giggled again.
"Sora, you lazy bum." She folded her hands behind her back. "I knew I'd find you snoozing down here."
He looked up at her. His face grew serious, "No! This huge, black thing swallowed me up! I couldn't breath, I couldn't- Ow!" Kairi smacked Sora on the head, making him almost fall over.
He rubbed the back of his head as Kairi spoke again. "Are you still dreaming?" She bent down to his level again.
"It wasn't a dream! Or was it? I don't know." He looked out into the empty ocean. "What was that place? So bizarre…"
Kairi looked at him and rolled her eyes, "Yeah, sure." Sora looked up at her and pouted a little. She walked closer to the water while her was up looking at the sky.
Sora turned to face her and said, "Say, Kairi, what was your hometown like? You know, where you grew up."
She didn't face him but spoke anyway, "I've told you before, I don't remember."
"Nothing at all?"
She smirked, "Nothing" He looked at her and sat down on the sand. He spread his legs apart and looked out into the ocean along with Kairi.
"You ever want to go back?"
She smiled again, "Well, I'm happy here." Sora looked at her and nodded and mumbled something under his breath. "But you know… I wouldn't mind going to see it!"
Sora nodded, "I'd like to see it too. Along with any other worlds out there! I want to see them all!"
Kairi turned and nodded smiling, "So what are we waiting for?"
"Hey," Kairi looked over to the boy standing behind Sora, holding a log under his arm. "aren't you guys forgetting about me?" Sora turned around and looked at the boy. He had silver hair reaching down just below his shoulders and has green eyes. "So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft." He started walking towards Kairi. As he walked by Sora he tossed the log over to him catching him off guard. The log landed on Sora and he was buried in the sand. Kairi giggled as the boy got closer to her. "And you're just as lazy as he is!"
She smiled and tried to suppress her laughter. "So you noticed. Okay we'll finish it together!" The boy sat down next to Sora and looked across the beach. "I'll race you!" Sora looked at her and the boy shrugged. "Ready, GO!" The two boys glanced at each other then jumped up and took off down the beach. They where all ready half way down the beach when Kairi finally started to run after them.
"So, Riku, Kairi's home is out there somewhere, right?" Sora spoke softy while sitting on the edge of the Legendary Paopu Fruit tree. Kairi sat next to him while Riku just leaned against the trunk of the tree.
Riku looked down at the edge of the small island, "Could be. We'll never know by staying here."
Sora leaned over the edge to look at him, "But, how far could a raft take us?" Riku didn't look toward Sora and moved both his arms by his side.
"Who knows. If we have to, we'll think of something else." He crossed his arms again and stared out at ocean.
Kairi rocked back and forth on the tree. She leaned forward and asked, "So, suppose you get to another world, what would you do there?"
He looked down at his arms and closed his eyes in deep thought. "We I-I haven't really thought about it. It's just…I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds, then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could've just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?"
