Welcome to Gaia! ::

✗ Kari had focused on the hug, then the words. For a moment she believed them, then wondered if they were true. At one time he solely believed in the Organization thinking that it was right, then he left and when he went back he didn't remember; but he did trust in them once. He was even best friends with Axel. If Xenmas could fool him once he could no doubt fool him twice, but then again it was the first time they had met since they seperated. Kari sighed, feeling like she was over thinking things too much before she moved on, walking back out of the forest.

✗ Thinking about it she didn't know if they would meet again like he had said, they would probably leave soon back to their base and she was unable to follow with a broken down gummi ship. With nothing to do she kicked her feet in the streets, walking back down to the small candy bar and sitting on the stool once again. The sun was beginning to set, meshing with the grey colors of the night and making its own purple hue.

✗ Kari sat there, looking around before sighing and turning around to face the store; which was already closed. "Hyuck, you wouldn' know where a inn is would ya'?" Kari perked up, turning around and seeing someone that definetly didn't live in Twilight Town. "Yeah, I do." The creature smiled, turning around and yelling at two other people - his companions. "Heya guys! She can help us!" He faced Kari once again bending down and giving her a smile, "The name's goofy. What's yours?"

✗ "Hey, what's your name anyways?" Kari stood there with three other boys, all varying in different sizes and looking as if they belonged on size chart. "It's Kari...What are yours?" She looked at them, standing infront of her in a semi-circle each looking at each other before grinning a bit. The looked back at her, the middle tallest holding one hand on his waist while the other stayed in the air. "I'm Sora." "Donald!" "And I'm Goofy!"

✗ Kari's eyebrows piqued, raising up high while her mouth fell slightly open and then she started laughing; bending over just a bit and holding her stomach. "Jeez, did you rehearse that?" She stood back up, brushing her hand against her own cheek as the highlights of her cheekbones turned pink. "Hm, we're just introducing ourselves." She leaned forward knocking Sora on his head while taking a good look at him for the first time. "Okay, weirdos. Anyways the inn is over there." She leaned back, pointing up a small hill which was almost like an alley way; watching as all three turned the torso's and craned their heads back. "Ah! Thanks." Sora turned back around, grinning at her before sticking his hand out which made her make a face at it before slowly shaking it. "Hey, why don't you join up with us?"

✗ Kari's cheeks turned red, frowning as she tried to tug her hand back. "Come with you?" She looked down, still seeing their hands interlocked but not comming apart. Sora had bent down, making sure to get in her eyesight while he grinned. "Yup! Too late, we already shook on it." Then he let her hand go, making Kari step back with her cheeks still rosey. Her eyes widened a bit, becoming surprised, as she saw Roxas in the background which made her hands fret in the air and try and wave off the group she just met. "Okay, okay! I'm with you, s-so go to the inn and...and get me a room and we'll talk when I get there!" Sora raised his eyebrow but listened, nodding his head as he motioned for his friends to follow; leaving Kari making sure that they were gone.

✗ Kari bit her lip, keeping her head down while her eyes looked up before she finally moved his hand away after her cheeks had turned crimson. She cleared her throat, trying to rethink his question. "Oh well," She thought about it herself, about what Diz had once told her the last time she'd seen him and about Roxas and how he fit into the circle of it all. "Well, we used to live here; sorta." She scratched her cheek, thinking about where to begin but not sure where it started.

✗ She tilted her head up, getting a good look at Roxas before remembering a bunch of things but not sure how to fit them all into one sentence; or even if it was right to share. "Um, well maybe what you're missing is him?" Kari lifted her hand pointing off into the distance where Sora and his friends had gone. Of course she knew them but she knew better than to let them know that. She stopped, putting her head in her hand while she thought some more.

✗ Kari jumped off the stool, realizing had close the space between them closed before extending her arms and pushing him back. "Hm, anyways." She scratched her head, sighing as she didn't know where the talk would lead them even though she had daydreamed about it for a few months.

✗ The picture looked like how they did in the past, happy and heartful. She stared at it for a moment, thinking about how they used to hang out with the rest of the Twilight gang doing kid things. And then she felt Roxas lips, making her eyes widen as her whole face turned red and she pulled back from him, using the small photo to try and cover up her face. Kari nodded vigourously, anything to get him going away before she put down the photo and sighed, her eyes diverting to the alleyway before she started going in that direction.

✗ "Sh! Sh! She's comming! "Waaah! Goofy! Get your foot off of mine!" "Gawrsh, sorry Donald." Kari stood at the entrance to the small alley, her arms dangling while her eyebrows had pulled together letting her mouth drop in disbelief. She slapped her own face, sighing before speaking. "I can hear you." All three popped out at the same time, Sora grinning while looking away from her face and rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry, we got curious!" He looked back at her, his grin leaving before he became more serious. "Who was that guy?" Kari's expression changed, becoming surprised once again before she waved her hand in the air, trying to dismiss his thought. "Just some boy who lives here, come on. Let's go to the inn."

✗ A few minutes later they had actually been sat down in their rooms, Kari and Sora sitting on the bed while Donald sat on the floor letting Goofy take a small seat. "So where are you guys going?" Sora had pipped in, "Where ever the wind takes us!" "Or the heartless!" She nodded, leaning down and laying on her stomach while still thinking of Roxas.

✗ For a while they had been sitting together talking about places that they've each been and the people they've met. Kari inquired them about what they were like, learning their interests and their pasts. Donald and Goofy were knights - although they looked far from it - while Sora was they keyblade bearer; but once again these were things she already knew and her attempt at trying to gain new information was useless.

✗ The door knocked, making Kari perk up a bit and sit up. She looked around the room, Donald expectingly looking at her while he tapped his webbed foot. "What? Why do I have to get it you're closer!" She blew out air, blowing up her bangs and sighing while she rolled out of the bed. Kari staggered to her feet letting out another grumbled sigh as she made her way to the door while slightly complaining of everyone's laziness.

✗ When she opened the door it wasn't who she expected, she thought maybe the hotel manager or a cleaning person; but not Roxas. She quickly slammed the door, turning around and giving them a quick smile. "Hold on, it's my friend again." She gave them a single quick wave, opening the door and slipping out, closing it behind her and hoping that Sora hadn't seen his full face. "What are you doing here? I thought we were going to meet somewhere else." She said, frowning and putting her fists on her hips.

✗ Kari snarled looking down at her feet before whipping the picture out from her jacket's pocket, shoving it into Roxas' hand. "Fine, you can keep it you dope."

✗ Suddenly she became a bit angry, turning to him again and frowning deeply. "And you know what, that's all you can keep. Since you love the Organization so much you can just stay there forever." Kari stuck her tongue out, fighting back the urge to just smack him; but then it went away as quickly as she came and she hung her head looking at their shoes.

✗ With a sigh she looked back up, frowning and tilting her head just a bit. "I'll go back in now and we won't talk every again since you have your precious picture back." Kari rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, waiting for their conversation to be done as her inner core burned with anger and sadness; everything mixing together and making one big ball of emotions.

✗ Kari sighed, leaning against the door while looking back down. "Well we can't talk about everything now, and even if we were going to I don't know where to start. It's a long story." She shook her head from side to side a bit, leaning an ear toward the door and listening in on the other side.

✗ "Besides, If I'm out here for too long they'll think something is up." She shrugged, leaning forward and standing straight to scratch her head before she placed the same hand onto her hip. "What's the Organization doing here anyways? What do they need from this place?"

✗ Kari watched Roxas, looking for any sign of emotion that might give her a hint as to what they were doing if he didn't.
