Kairi was building a sand castle in boredom when she heard his voice. She perked up, hearing that familiar voice. She looked to see Sora.

"Sora! You're back!" she said, standing up.

She ran over to him and embraced him in a tight hug. She knew he had duties to protect the other worlds, but she missed him and Riku so much. With a big, bright smile, she gently smacked his arm playfully.

"You took forever to get back. Where's Riku at? He was with you, right?" she asked.
