[April 16] [Kingdom Hearts II] [Time]
Title: Zeitgeist
Day/Theme: April 16 - Time
Series: Kingdom Hearts II
Character/Pairing: Kairi
Rating: G
Notes: Set directly after the first game. "Zeitgeist", we note, means "Spirit of Time" in German.
Her mother told her that she used to cry a lot a few years back. She would go missing often, always turning up in the cave out on that desolate island of her childhood playmates. They would find her crouched beside chalk scratchings that no one, for the life of them, could remember who made them.
She became happier when she stopped going to the island altogether, though that had been her father in action — since Riku’s disappearance, the adults of Destiny Islands considered the place cursed, and didn’t want their kids going near it for a while. Then, they too eventually forgot why it was so urgent to keep people away from there. Perhaps it was out of love for Paopu fruits, which only grew on that island.
It had been about a smiling brown-haired boy, a charm and an urgent promise that Kairi used to cry about. That they might never see each other again was the cause for her grief. Nowadays, however, she couldn’t even remember his face or his name.
