I really liked this.

I love this. Not weak, not I'm-a-freaking-princess, but Kairi.

Again I've found a writer who writers stories which beauty go beyond my reach of words. I smiled the entire time I read this chapter and I'm still smiling now. Numberous times I thought: "Okay, this story has been long engough, it was beautiful but it should have ended here." But I started to smile again when I read a few sentence further.

I wished I could show more appreciation, saying beautifuller words to praise your work, perhaps give you some advice. But I can't. You deserve longer and better reviews, but I'm not skilled engough with words to give you those. Sorry.

Thank you for writting this. Your new fan, rutger50

Aw.

OMG!
I loved it. I loved it so much. It was excellent. It was great. It made me kinda sad though. IDK why. It just did.
I love what you wrote:
"It’s weird and lonely living without the two of you, but it’s not like I can’t. Because I can. I can breathe, I can see, I can dream. I’m still me."
I LOVED THAT. BECAUSE IT'S SO TRUE! I honestly loved it! You are a great author.

This was really pretty.
I liked the bit about Traverse Town.
And the mention of Deep Jungle makes me want to play KH1 again.
Ah... I love that game :3
I feel really weird after reading this now...
I dunno why.
But I take it as a good feeling, so I'm going to favourite this story ^_^

sdfsjfhdskhf AH MY GOD GIRL!
YOU STILL GOT IT

how poignant and casual!
i enjoy reading your writing; c:
it's experimental/ which is perfect!

i miss kh :(
♥

That was really great.
I love how you used Kairi's POV.
You kept her in character perfectly.
Nice job.
;]]

Ah, it feels good to read something Kairi-centered. ^_^ I never even really thought about what she did all of that time from the cave scene and when she got her heart back. Actually, I forget half the time that she was with Sora the entire time! You portrayed her emotions and thoughts very well, and I like how you wrote this because it was original and incorporated your own ideas, but it was BELIEVABLE. Some people make things up and it's hard to see the characters in those situations or thinking those thoughts. But you got Kairi down to a square here. I feel bad that she feels useless and...like that one line said, she can do more than just stare out into the ocean. I liked how you ended it too, nicely done!

Heh, ya know, I agree with you actually. o.O Riku's hair IS better in KH than KH2. XD I'm excited about the new games, yeah, but I don't own those game systems, so it stinks. But I do know others who have them, so that's when my mooching skills will come into play. :P And of COURSE KH pwns all. :D It's better than pie, and pie is good. Oh gosh, ignore the fact that I'm R&Ring at 4 in the morning on a school night and just ate a whole bunch of cereal with milk >.> Insomnia and hunger. Whatever.

I'll send you my contest entry soon, I'm still working on it. Yay for procrastinating studying! I haven't been on Gaia in weeks too. Oh well, *sigh* I'll survive somehow...

lol Best ending evar. XD Woo, this was such a great oneshot! I never thought about what Kairi did after that whole Hollow Bastion incident when she was left in Traverse Town, so I thought this was really cool! You think about things that people don't think about and it helps tie the story together!

Awesome lines:

"I always feel like I could have played a bigger part in this story. I could play a part right now, be more than just your faraway princess, your motivation, your distant star."

"I’m proud of you for what you do, yeah — but I can be selfish, too. I can do more than stare out to sea, you know."

"I liked my heart being in your heart. Even if you didn’t feel me there." Aw!!

"I think he needed a card partner who wouldn’t lecture him on the evils of gambling — Aerith — or sneak extra kings and aces, ninja-quick, into every game — Yuffie, of course." lol This part made me laugh! XD

"Our hearts skipped that beat together." Another 'aw' moment! ^_^

"In the tradition of war-wives, I might as well be knitting socks. Except I wouldn’t know where to send them. I write poems for you and Riku, sometimes; maybe someday I’ll send one out in a bottle. Something epic like that. My words to reach you at the edge of the world." lol Kairi, kairi, kairi. And she does just that!

"So I guess it’s sort of to your benefit that no one remembers y—

…

I guess I might have forgotten to mention that."

I love that part so much!! You write so that it's her speaking, her writing, her feelings, pauses and all. Awesome.

"The darkness had him, but it couldn’t touch him." So true. I love this about Riku. So angsty and beautiful.

Gah, I'm in love with your writing, what can I say?

Head over heels, ^^;

The one thing that always bugged me about KH1 was how little character development there was for Kairi. KH2 isn't as bad, but even then, it's lacking in places, especially compared to Riku and Sora. And I have always wondered what it would be like for her, slowly losing her memories of Sora and their adventure beyond the stars...

Very poignant and deep!

I like how different this is from your usual. :)

Your style is so pretty even it has been toned down. Simple but surely not basic.

"I haven’t cried at all since the last time I saw you; when I watched you fade into your namesake.
You’d cry, too, if you watched me drown. It was sort of like that. Irony."

That comparison struck me as very cool.

I have to read that Gertrude thing that inspired you. :)

oh! i love this;
so beautiful in its
simplicity :)

kairi is like just perfect here ♥

...♥ Okay, you DO know that you are made out of awesome, right? I hope so, because this--ALL YOUR WRITING, REALLY, ♥--just reaffirms this fact.

She's so laid-back in this; it's not an over-load of "my sad, pitiful exsistance that is so not but I'll wangst anyway" or anything of the sort, really. It's just a casual over-flow of her thoughts in such a lyrical way that I BET YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE--DIDN'T YOU? D:--TO PUT US ALL TO SHAME. Seriously. I've adressed that much.

I adore the ending really quite a lot because it's so diary-entry like and really freaking fits 'cause I don't know how many people say she's dumb [HA! SHE'S IN AP, LOSERS, :D! of which i am not an am quite sulky over because it just proves that even fictional characters are more awesome than i will ever be.]. She's not, and you write her that way without sounding like Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius or anything. And, yes, I do know I just called her a Boy Genius, just play along, you.

ANYWAY, I must confess that you write some mad good fic and I still can't believe how you both make something like this work AND FIT. :O

That's it. It's official. You are awesome.

...

Okay, more awesome then you already are. :/
