Forgetting

She'd already started with magic, she might as well continue.

Forgetting. Losing some knowledge to make space for more. Intelligence through memory. Is this the path you choose?

Taking a deep breath, Kairi reched out and touched the image. Propriety made her fingertips brush the wide-eyed Lea rather than her own exposed skin, and then the world dissolved to a blur.

Ok, she was right, there was no darkness for her to face within herself. Just more falling, the stained-glass image shattering beneath her as a whole new power ran through her.

Yen Sid had wondered about this, she recalled. A Princess of Heart becoming a Keyblade wielder was as good as unheard of. He'd specualted that it might delay her Dive, the lack of darkness within her making it less pressing to face it, and wondered if the consequences might be more unpredictable. Either way, she guessed she was going to find out now.

She woke up in her room, back on Destiny Islands. On the island itself for that matter; she and all her friends had made the hut on it one where it was easier to stay over in. Small room-dividers, running water... She sat up, looking around.

Apparently she was up late. Kairi stood, wandering over to the shower. She knew she hadn't really just been falling through the sea, but the Dive had felt so real; she'd felt like there really had been brine all over her, salt to wash off. Might as well do it now.

By the look of it everyone was outside. She must have slept in; it hadn't been a normal nap after all. Quickly she stripped down, laying her sleepwear on the ground by her dress and hurrying over to the shower.

It was a relief to wash anyway. She let the water run down herself, cleansed herself of imaginary dirt, before eventually stepping out. Kairi breathed out, then hesitated.

Was she... going to do something? Kairi paused.

Well she had chosen 'forgetting.' Hopefully it wouldn't be too much of a problem, it had sounded like she was only going to forget one thing. Kairi hesitated for a moment, still half in the shower, droplets of water still running down her exposed skin. One trickled over a pink nipple; she idly brushed it aside. It tickled.

She shook her head. The Dive couldn't have made her forget anything too important, right? She shrugged, and walked out of the shower, walked right past her dress, and out of the door. She'd taken two whole steps onto the beach before she realised all eyes were on her. What-

"Ahh!" Kairi yelped, glancing down at herself. What had she been thinking?! Bare tits, damp curls between her legs, even the curve of her ass. How could she have forgotten to get dressed?!

Yelping, she stumbled backwards, not wanting to turn around, hastily slamming the door of the hut again behind her.

Ok, breathe in, breathe out. Who knew what her friends were thinking about her now? Kairi bit her lip, flushing. Damn it, she just had to...

Huh. She really hated it when she walked into a room, and forgot why she'd come in there.
