It’s evening and Kairi can’t concentrate on her homework. Her thoughts keep drifting away from fractions and equations and instead to a smiling boy with blue eyes
( Read more... )
There is another girl in the bar tonight, and she has a purpose. In fact, Kairi is the very person she is looking for. (Her Other.)
She's nervous, though -- very nervous. If things happen accordingly, so much could change. Of course, these will be good changes -- good especially for her friends. For Sora and Riku.
For now the other girl is trying to think of some way to approach Kairi, watching her carefully.
Things will be right again once more when she does.
Naminé smiles. She knows all of Sora's memories, and that is one of the memories she knows he treasures most. The promise to see her again, to come back to her. It's something he keeps deep in his heart.
So when Kairi finishes the memory, Naminé cannot help but smile. Everything has gone back to the way it is supposed to be.
But she has to check, just to make sure... "Do you remember everything?" she asks gently.
The question seems absurd at first; how could she know if everything has been restored - when until moments ago - she didn't know for sure that anything was missing? But it's an important question.
Kairi's silent, seeking answers within.
She doesn't find actual answers so much, as a feeling of... rightness. Of things being how they ought to be.
The blonde girl shakes her head. "It wasn't right of me to keep them," she says softly. She isn't really even sure why she has had them for this long...
"But I'm glad you remember him," she adds, slowly letting go of Kairi's hands. "Be happy, you and him."

"I - yes. I think I do."
And she smiles.
"Naminé, thank you."

"Wait, please - before you go..." she says, looking into blue eyes. "I...will I see you again?"
She's not sure why, but the idea that she might never see the blond girl again is troubling.

"I am never far away, Kairi," she says, tilting her head a bit. "All you have to do is look into your heart." I'm always here for you.

She releases her hold on Naminé's hand - her mind already focused on what she needs to do next.
She needs to find Sora.
The sooner, the better.
"Thank you, Naminé."
She smiles, then turns and heads for the door.

Everything is back to normal. Everything is fine. She feels happy, now.
With a little breath of relief, she turns to the opposite direction -- towards the bar.
She suddenly feels like drawing.
