Welcome to Gaia! ::

✗ Kari puffed up her cheeks after the kiss, her face turning red while she continued to sit there after he had left. With a sigh she hauled herself up, reading her legs for the climb down.


✗ Instead of taking one stair at a time she doubled it, taking two or sometimes three, not being too careful. Her thoughts were mainly on Roxas and how much he had changed, but in reality he was just another part of Sora's heart; which meant that he had changed too? Once again she puffed up her cheeks, her way of showing that she was either angry or thinking - or both.

✗ Moments later she made it down to the bottom of the clock tower, wondering that wherever Sora went if Roxas would be there; or maybe just another Organization member. With her arms crossed she made her way over to where Sora and them had said they would be, they waved her over; their bodies zapping up into the gummiship that they owned. Looking around it was amazing, bigger than her ship and far more technical. She took a seat on the floor, seeing as how there were only three other chairs. "Hey, where are we going?" Kari had sat down next to Sora's chair for the fact that he was the leader and that he just looked like Roxas; her cheeks becoming pink while she thought of him again. "Well, maybe we should go to the borough and see how everyone is doing as a start." Kari crossed her legs, looking up and smiling before giving him a curt nod while they started off.

✗ They had finally gotten off the ship, Kari slumping as her arms dangled in front of her in exhaustioin. "Can't we sleep yet?" She sighed, Sora smiling a bit as he chuckled, "Yeah! We're almost to where we'll be staying, so don't worry Kari." He held his hands behind his head, turning it slightly to grin at her which made her perk up a bit; thinking of Roxas yet again.


✗ "Come on it's this way!" Donald quacked, his webbed feet smacking against the pebble stone pavement while he ran ahead, Goofy loitering slowly behind. Kari stood up straighter, walking and following them till they came to a small shaggy looking home. Walking in there were a few people there, who quickly popped out and made themselves known. Greetings and introductions were exchanged as the trio introduced Kari as the new member to their group.

✗ The regular people had set up some beds, letting Kari and Sora have the one in the corner while Donald and Goofy shared another one. Immediantly she plopped down on it, closing her eyes as they became weary. She rubbed them but it was pretty useless as her sleep had begun to take over. "Hey, Kari. Are you tired?" From her blurry eyes she could see Sora standing near her, looming a bit over her as his body curved into a slight 'c'. She gave a small groan, moving her face into the pillow before she huffed out another breath, reciving a chuckle from Sora. "Come on, don't you want to sight-see?" Kari sat up, her hair becoming staticy and bed-head like; but she agree'd. After all they had given her a ride and a promising journey. Together they all stood up, Sora promising to give a quick tour so if she walked alone she wouldn't get lost.

✗ Sora and the group had gone into the small shopping district, her spirit perking up a bit more as they looked at items. "Wha~ You have munny fore this? They're expensive." She pouted, waving her hand infront of the shop to exaggerate the price. But Sora only raised an eyebrow, nodding while he pulled out a bit of munny. "Yeah, it's no skin off my back."


✗ With some pleading they had stayed in that area longer than intened, Kari taking her time to browse each shop with a sharp eye and haggering the owners to describe the items they sold. Donald tapped his foot, while Goofy simply chuckled and that left Sora to sigh with a smile on his face; all as they watched Kari go from shop to shop, staring in. "You're really into all this stuff Kari?" she pushed her body back and away from the counter, staggering a bit till her body stood straight. "Hm? No way, I'm into munny. I'm thinking if we buy this anklet that we could sell it somewhere else for more munny, in Twilight Town it usually runs for 80."

✗ She diverted her head back and forth, pointing out the object before looking at Sora, who chuckled while he waved his own hand. "That's alright, we have all the munny we need." Kari stopped, looking at Sora with a bit of surprise in her eyes. "What? You're rich?" Sora smiled sheepishly, putting one hand behind his head while he rubbed it a bit and shrugged. "Well, not exactly." Kari stopped, looking over to one shop in particular and grabbing Sora's hand. "Look! Look! It's an icecream shop, Sora can we have one please?" She winced at him, half grinning and half pleading while she leaned into him; trying to persuade him by making him feel a bit guilty. But she didn't half too, he just chuckled and nodded, them walking over hand in hand to the shop and picking one out. Even though she had already had one early it was something that reminded her of what happened earlier with Roxas, and she was willing to take any type of memory of him she could get.

✗ The bed was comfier than it looked, Kari jumping in it having just finished her icecream. She didn't bother to even throw the stick away, sticking her face into the pillow as her hand was clamped around the stick.


✗ Sora chuckled, bending down and picking up the stick from her grasp, throwing it away before he also laid down; Donald and Goofy following suit.

✗

✗ Kari, Sora and the gang had flitted through the town; making their way to the castle leaving Kari to occasionally sigh. It was true, they hadn't done anything all day but they had gotten a lead from Sora's friend about the castle - so they decided to scope it out.


✗ She sighed, feeling tired from her lack of sleep. Kari's dreams were filled with weird images, all or most of them consisting of Roxas. Where could he have gone? Once again they were seperated, after only have spending one day together. She groaned at her situation, following Sora and his friends through a big clearing where rocks surrounded them, making a circle.

✗ "So what if something is happening at the castle?" Donald pipped up, running till he was infront of her, where he stood justified and galliant. "Then we take them down!" Kari nodded, taking note of what they did before continuing to walk, the castle in a close sight.

✗ The castle was closer than it seemed and they were at the steps pretty quick, going up and inside. "It seems pretty empty, nothing suspicious." Kari yawned, leaning against the open doorway, crossing her arms and looking around blankly. "Well should we go now then?"


✗ Sora turned around, looking at her before smiling just a bit, his eyebrows pulling together. "A-ha, we've only stepped through the doorway." She rolled her eyes, puffing air out causing her bangs to float upwards before smacking back onto her forehead.


✗ Once again he had taken the lead, walking ahead and striding forward. Donald and Goofy followed, looking around and keeping their eyes open while Kari just followed a bit lazily.

✗ Xenmas' voice boomed through out the area, of course it was heard loudly and they all stopped but Kari stopped first; becoming rigid from his voice. She hadn't been scared in a while, not even while the other members had warned her about Xenmas giving her a punishment, but now she had been scared; thinking that he might some how give it to her now.


✗ She pulled her arms in close to her chest, feeling Sora, Donald and Goofy enclosing her in a circle as they called forth their weapons; looking around but not being able to see him. "Don't worry Kari, we'll protect you." She looked at each of their heads, only being able to see the back or catch a glimpse of their profile. "Come out here Xemas! You wannabe!"[/coloor] Kari's eyes perked up as Donald squabbled about Xenmas, surprised as they knew he was a fake. "We'll take care of you right now!" He slapped his webbed foot against the flooring, it clapping loudly and echoing through out the room.


✗ "Yeah! Why don't you come out and fight!" Sora had walked forward, opening up the cricle and making Kari's heart race with uneasiness. She extended one hand, clamping it onto his upper arm and holding onto it tightly, "W-Wait, Sora!" His eyes popped over to her, for the first time she noted them and how blue they were; how much she realized that Roxas was a part of him, not the other way around. "Don't worry, Kari." He put his hand on the top side of her head, making her shut her eyes and clamp onto him tighter, but he kept his fighting stance up and his keyblade out.
