If KH3 let me play as Kairi regularly, I’d probably be playing instead of drawing.

♔ Maybe a little hint wouldn’t hurt. It was hard to resist keeping a secret when she was so curious to know. Sora hummed in thought, as if he was thinking about denying her clue, but decided that it wouldn’t hurt to let her in on it after all. “Well, it’s a place you’ve been to before. The sunsets are amazing and a new bistro opened there.”
That alone should satisfy her curiosity, if it wasn’t already a dead giveaway. Though even if it was, that was fine too. Sora just hoped she would still be excited even if she did figure out where they were heading off to for most of their afternoon.
The corner of his lip twitched into a crooked smile when he felt Kairi give his hand a squeeze, but it was too bad that his heart dropped quite a bit the instant he noticed that the gummy ship was missing.
Their source of transportation!
Not waiting another minute, he grabbed his gummy phone from his pocket and looked at the screen that revealed a message from no other than Donald.
Donald: I took the ship! It was an emergency!
With that, Sora groaned and let the hand holding the device fall to his side. “Darn it,” he complained, feeling utterly bitter. “Does he even know how to fly the ship anyways?” Sad blue eyes turned to meet Kairi’s before he looked around the area– and that’s when a familiar sound filled the air. The sound of a train.
If this day was supposed to be filled with various emotions, it sure was working! Sora made sure the female’s hand was secured within his and tugged her gently towards the direction of the train so they could board on time. “Let’s go, Kairi!”
Some things never do change. Inside the cart of the transport, there was no one else– just like the last time he was there. But it was no surprise and he hoped no regular person would wander in by accident anyways. The keyblade wielder lead them to a very empty seat and gave a reassuring smile.
“Ever been on one of these before?” ♔
Leaning over his shoulder, Kairi took a quick peak at the message Donald had sent. It must have been a pretty big deal if he’d taken the gummi ship that suddenly. Especially considering it was the trio’s main form of transportation!
“I hope everything is okay...” she mumbled quietly, kind of sad about the fact she wouldn’t get to ride in the gummi ship. Though she never said it out loud, the redhead was secretly hoping Sora would let her take a chance at driving it.
Someday...
As the sound of the train pieced through the air, Kairi’s brows knit together in confusion. There’s a train all the way out here? How did it even get here? Where did it come from? Where is the station? Why does Sora seem completely unfazed by this whole thing?
“There’s a train here?” she asked, feeling her hand being tugged towards the large purple train cart. It sure did fit the atmosphere of Master Yen Sid’s tower, but it still didn’t answer any of her questions at all.
Sora seemed so excited by the whole thing, and of course, Kairi was as well. She would consider herself a general optimist and tried to keep things on the positive side, but Sora was a whole other story. He always found a way to make things work.
“I’ve never been on a train before, no,” she replied, sitting next to the other teen. “People barely even drive at home, our island is so small.” A comfortable smile began to form on her lips as she thought of their home. It made her a little bit sad that Sora hadn’t been back in such a long time, though not much had changed. “Last time I heard, they were thinking about making a bigger ferry to get from one side to the other...”
Maybe next time they had a chance to be together, she’d bring him back home.
"Do you even know where this train is going, Sora?" she asked, raising a brow at the spiky haired boy. "If we're going somewhere I've been before that means it's Radiant Garden, the Dark City or Twilight Town... I feel like we're nowhere close to any of those– and if it's the Dark City, I dunno if I want to go there again!"
sorawr·:
♔ Sora was pleased by the fact that Kairi enjoyed the flowers he had chose for her. Even the blush that burned at her cheeks were almost as deep as some of the warm colors of the petals. It suited her very well. He managed to sneak a small peak at her face again before he turned to walk down the stairs together.
It felt right, being together with her. It was hard to imagine that he was so nervous earlier. But why would it be difficult now, when all she did was made him feel at home and made him feel so comfortable being himself? “It’s a surprise,” he said, a small mischievous smile on his lips. “I think you’ll like it though.”
He had it planned out– they’ll spend most of their afternoon at Twilight Town. They’ll stop by the cafe and have a nice meal and she can meet his friends over there too! After that, they’ll stop by Destiny Island.. They’ll stop by home. According to Donald, there was supposed to be a meteor shower tonight and Sora saw it as a perfect opportunity to take her there so they can watch it together.
Mentally going through their list of to-dos, it was surprising to feel Kairi’s hand brush against his as they walked side by side, down the winding stairs. It caught him by surprise so much that he quickly glanced at her– was it a mistake? It must’ve been.
Until it happened again.
“Haha,” Sora laughed breathlessly in confusion. What’s going on? It seemed like his childhood friend didn’t seem to know either– the way her face flushed a even darker color.
Well, anyway. Sora was one to take the leap in a lot of things. It wasn’t going to be any different now.
So he took her hand in his, holding it gently. ♔
“Can I have a tiny hint?” she asked, giving the smallest pout. It was really hard to keep that face up for long. The comfort of being with her favourite person completely took over, and Kairi was okay with it. She couldn’t help the permanent smile.
Kairi barely noticed that they had started to walk closer and closer together, shoulder brushing against Sora’s arm and hands briefly making contact every once in a while. It wasn’t on purpose, necessarily... but, she wasn’t gonna stop it.
“What?”
That laugh never happened for no reason. He must have been thinking about something– and then he took her hand. It was a bit surprising to see him being so bold like that... Usually she was the one to make the first steps in regards to them. She spoke up, and wasn’t afraid to show how much she felt, up to a point. But this small gesture made her heart beat a little bit faster, again.
Kairi gave his hand a little squeeze as they made it to the bottom floor. Her excitement was bubbling up again at the thought of going on on the gummi ship. But– there was no gummi ship in sight. Where were they going to go without it?
“Uh, Sora?” Kairi tilted her head towards him with a questioning look. “Where are we going without the gummi ship?” Her eyes darted all over the open sky, but there was definitely no ship to be found. Strange.
sorawr·:
♔ Sora waited patiently and strained to hear what ruckus was happening beyond the door. Maybe this was a really bad time? The sound of feet shuffling against the door and protests of Axel could be heard– perhaps they weren’t done with their training or duties after all.
But he wouldn’t even have mind to see her at least– at all. A minute, a second, anything he would take. His feet began to shift with anticipation and wonder. Should I just open the door myself? It was a challenge to resist the urge to pick at the petals of the bouquet. Thankfully the door opened before he could, and there he was greeted by Kairi and her joke about the flowers being for Master Yen Sid.
“Huh? These are for you..” Sora replied, a bit confused. The smile he forced himself to have faded ever slightly. His eyes weren’t lifted yet, still fixated on the flowers that he held, until now. Blue eyes searched for her and now he was in for a surprise.
“Kairi?! Wow! You look– you look great!” Sora couldn’t resist the outburst and the excitement. Before he knew it, a big smile was on his face and he took a step to the side to observe the new clothes she was sporting. “You even cut your hair,” Nostalgia washed over him, something sweet and memorable. It took him back after all, since her hair used to be short.
With a warm and confident voice, he presented the flowers to her. “You look beautiful.”
Not even his nerves could stop the teen now and that’s how he’s always been. To show her a good time and share about their new experiences– why, he didn’t want anything more.
Just Sora and Kairi, even for a moment.
“Are you ready to go?” ♔
Kairi had to stifle a laugh at his reaction to her question. He was always so expressive, it was never a question as to what he was feeling. “Oh? You like it?” she asked, flipping the left side of her hair with a small smirk. It had been a last minute decision once her and Axel got their new clothes. Axel had decided to not wear his, but Kairi was quick to dive in to the garments. Once she tried them on and began training more intensely, her longer hair became a bit of a burden.
“I had to cut it cause it kept getting in my face while I was training... It’s no big deal really. Maybe I’ll grow it out again after all of this is over–”
It was really cute how excited he was about her new look... His smile was infectious, bright blue eyes sincere as ever and she was soon matching Sora’s expression with her own. What came next, surprised her to say the least.
Her lips opened slightly, eyes widening as she watched his demeanour change from excited to confident. It was a look she was used to seeing while he was fighting, or challenging Riku. Definitely not with her. That blush from before began to creep back onto her cheeks as she muttered a quiet, “Thanks, Sora...” Reaching out to take the flowers, she brought them up to her nose to hopefully cover a bit of the shyness that washed over. “They smell great!”
“I’m ready,” she replied, using her free hand to close the large wooden door behind her. Beginning to make her way down the winding stairs, Kairi aimlessly started playing with the petals of the flowers, heart still recovering from what just happened.
It was surreal that they were able to be together just the two of them for once, and the thought made her want to throw her hands up in excitement. Sora had been so many places, seen so many things and met so many people– she could only imagine where he was going to take her today.
“You still haven’t told me where we’re going!”
Just wanted to draw Kairi with Sora’s Super Groupies clothes
Here’s my back cover for The Ties That Bind Zine! You may have noticed that the zine gradually moves from the darkness into the light! Nova and I made sure to reflect this in our bookend pieces for the project. :)

Kairi (KINGDOM HEARTS Ⅲ)
sorawr·:
♕ @kaiiwii·
♔ This was the big day. There was still so many things on everyone’s agenda that it almost felt impossible to get this chance– it was almost like it was a chance of a lifetime. The courage that Sora had managed to muster when he had asked Kairi to spend time with him was no where to be seen and fiddling fingers took it’s place instead. Not to mention he was feeling agitated by the fact that he was almost late.
There’s no important laws when it came to flying fast in a gummy ship, right? Right.
Even then, he did his best to drive as carefully as he could. The last thing that he wanted to ruin the flowers that he carefully picked out with Rapunzel. It would’ve been all too easy to go willy-nilly and pick out random ones, but he would never get the chance to do such a disgraceful thing– not under Rapunzel’s book anyway. His previous encounter with the princess filled his thoughts and her big question clung to his brain– or was it clinging to his heart?
“What message did you want to convey to her? Flowers have specific meanings, you know!”
The keyblade wielder gulped then and he gulped even harder now. Would Kairi notice the special flowers that he had picked out for her?
It’s fine, what could go wrong? Nothing! Things will be fine and I won’t have it any other way!
Such big talk from such a nervous soul. If he was so ready, then there was definitely no turning back now. Before he knew it, he was already at the entrance of Master Yen Sid’s chamber– Sora was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn’t notice exactly how quickly he got there! Please don’t mess this up for yourself..
Taking a deep breath with a bouquet of flowers in hand, his knuckled rasped against the large wooden door.
“Is this a bad time?” Sora called out, a nervous chuckle following suit. ♔
✬ @sorawr
“Staring out the window isn’t gonna make him get here any faster–”
Whipping her gaze towards the direction of the much taller redhead, Kairi scrunched up her face and stuck her tongue out at the teasing.
“I know that, Axel!” she said, leaning against the edge of Master Yen Sid’s wooden table. It would’ve been nice if her heart could stop pounding so fast. “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this…”
“Oh trust me, we all know, Kai–”
That’s it!
Ignoring the rest of the teasing comments coming from Axel, she began to shove him towards the fairies’ room. He began to protest, but that didn’t stop her. This should teach him a lesson– they were gonna give him crap for not putting on his new clothes yet. Ha!
Because all of her time had recently been spent with Axel, he had been the first one who knew this thing was even happening. She couldn’t hide how happy she was when Sora came to ask to spend time together. Of course, she had wanted to ask many times before, but he was always so busy. Kairi understood that he was needed in so many places, by so many people. Now, it was her turn!
The second she closed the heavy door on Axel, a knocking sound came from the front entrance. It startled her a bit, causing Kairi to jump before running for the handle. She wasn’t even that nervous, it was just Sora. But it was Sora. After a moment to take a deep, shaky breath, she opened the door.
"Sora!“
The second she saw his dorky smile, her nerves washed away completely. Eyes drifting towards the flowers in his hand, a small blush began to creep over her cheeks. He had obviously spent time thinking about all of this…
"Are those for me, or Master Yen Sid?” she teased lightly, hoping to divert his gaze from her pink cheeks.
hi idk how to write anymore :)
