Do you suffer from long long-term memory loss? I don't remember. [Active]

Character(s): Sora, Riku, Kairi
Content: Reuniting. Again.
Setting: Train to Matteus Academy [J4]
Time: Late morning.
Warnings: Amnesiac-Sora




The train ride would have made Kairi fall asleep if she hadn't kept talking with Sora over the journals. A lot has been going on, and a part of her wanted to blame the boy for all their troubles, but it didn't seem fair to him, if he didn't even remember who they were.

She laughed a bit, thinking maybe Riku really could beat his memory back in shape. If the silver-haired teen wasn't so exhausted. She hated having to drag him out so suddenly, but... she was also afraid to leave him behind, especially when it came to seeing Sora! Maybe that thought in itself would put some spark into his system.

Or perhaps drain it when they saw him.

Sora didn't even know what the keyblade was!

It made her heart ache. Just as retelling him, to the best of her ability, his adventure of sealing up worlds... She smiled, almost a bit sadly, when she finished talking to him for now...

"I'll be waiting for you, Kairi!"

She was... always waiting for him, and Riku... To have Sora waiting for her... what a change.

He really didn't remember.

When she felt the train jerk to a stop, she tugged Riku along and seeing the exhaustion let him lay upon one of the benches, whispering in his ear, "Catch up with us, ok? You know where we'll be. I won't go anywhere else without you." She touched a comforting hand to his arm and then went off to find her old friend, who had no idea that they were supposed to be friends.

It was disconcerting, and weighed down a bit on her mind, but she made it to the academy and knew that it would be easy to find a boy like him, sticking out in a crowd, never truly blending in outside of his own world...

She would find him.

Even though she was shouting, "Sora!" through the hallways.


((ooc: lol Snow, I didn't want to look like I was puppeteering Riku, but I honestly didn't want Kairi to leave him behind completely... so he's...um... yeah, snoozing on a bench.))

Sora had retired to one of the empty classrooms, because they weren't as loud as the other places, and he didn't have to deal with the sounds of all the students, especially since he wasn't really a student there! He had to wait around though, because he had told Kairi he'd be waiting! He had to keep good on his word.

He couldn't help nodding off for a few minutes while he waited, though, especially since he barely knew how to use the journals. It was disconcerting knowing nothing about himself, and Kairi had only been able to give him limited information about himself. He didn't grasp all that she had said, and he was sure there was stuff she didn't know.

Well, she had said as much, but he wanted to know! It was only natural! He smiled in his sleep before opening his eyes at the sound of his name. He sat up and glanced around. Ah! She was here!

He quickly ran into the hallway. "Um, Kairi!"

Kairi herself didn't blend in all either, though she was thankful for that. It was harder in the school that seemed to only be of Paixaoans to not feel a bit sickened by everyone looking the same. It messed with her head a bit, and threw her off balance.

But what really threw her off was the familiar boy barrelling out of a classroom and into her. She fell back, hand grazing for a nearby wall and stabilizing herself before she fell.

Familiar?

... Not so familiar.

She stared at Sora, knowing it definately was him... but... She looked confused, trying to take him in. Did... something more than just a battle happen outside? He looked... younger... shorter... and not to mention his clothes had changed! Again! But they had reminded her of what he was like from back on the islands, when she had seen him after closing up Kingdom Hearts.

She wasn't sure what to say, and the words came out so suddenly that she looked a bit embarressed that she let them slip. "You... shrunk."

He had walked when Kairi needed him to, but otherwise, Riku honestly did not want to move. Immobile on the train ride, he only stirred every once in a while. Otherwise, his exhaustion had him rather quiet and very much asleep. That didn't leave him out of the situation, though. His thoughts lingered and rewinded everything that had happened. Darkness, then Hollow Bastion... Kingdom Hearts, the King... meeting DiZ, losing his memories... fighting Sora... No, that wasn't Sora. Roxas. It was Roxas. That was his name.

"Catch up with us, ok? You know where we'll be. I won't go anywhere else without you."

He replied lightly with a sound from his throat, shifting to sit up and watch after her. Still, he felt tired, but rest wasn't important when it meant finding Sora again. Kairi was out of sight, but Riku did know where she was. To his feet, he stablized himself before he made his way to the school where Kairi had said they would be meeting Sora. Something was wrong though.

Probably standing out just as much as the other two, the silver-haired teen stopped when he heard their names exchanged, brow furrowing. Sora didn't sound like he had been earlier. That didn't change anything, and he followed their voices...

Only to find this was not the Sora they had left with into the portal. "Sora?"

Sora looked between the two of them, the girl he'd met over the little journal thing, and then another one! And he smiled at both of them, because they knew his name, didn't they? They must be friends! At least, he was pretty sure they were! Kairi knew a lot about him, didn't he?

He placed his hands behind his head as he glanced between the two of them, waiting for something more to be said, though he didn't understand their hesitant reaction. Unless, he realized with a sad frown, that he wasn't the person they were looking for. Maybe they were looking for a different Sora.

And the more he thought about it, the more he drooped. "I'm not your friend?" he asked, mustering up an apologetic grin. "But I can help you find him, if you want! Honest!"

Kairi frowned, glanced over at Riku (though she really thought he should be resting, but both boys were always so stubborn), and then looked back at Sora. His lack of memories was making this situation harder.

"I'm not your friend?"

Kairi shook her head and opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't decide on her words, so she let the silence lap over her. What could she say? He still acted familiar enough, but he was... he was... "No, that's not it... you are our Sora, but..." she looked to Riku for some help, stumbling over her words. "But at the same time you're... well, you're not, I guess. Like you're from some other time then our Sora... was... is."

Confusion took over and she fell into silence again, arms at her sides.
