Challenge: [o59] Laughter
Title: Ringing
Word Count: 145
Spoilers: None, I'm pretty sure. Post CoM, pre-KHII Kairi-ness.
Notes: This is a bit experimental. I've been toying with formatting and grammar usage in my writing, lately. Don't worry, nothing too egregious. All bits of fudged grammar here are, I assure you, stylistic choices.
______________
It's missing.
It's like a buzzing in her ears, a ring she can't get rid of. She shakes her head, brushes her hair behind her ears, and cocks her head, listening.
But always there's nothing. There's never anything except the ringing.
When she stops, Selphie asks her what's wrong, in that bubbly, sunny Selphie way. Kairi just grins and trots on down the path to school, pretending like nothing's wrong. Nothing is wrong, after all. She's only imagining it.
But somehow, it's always with her. Ringing in her mind and in her heart, and no matter what she does, she can't get rid of it.
For how can you get rid of something you no longer have?
That sound. That bright, cheerful sound, that resonates forth like life from the darkest parts of her memory. That soft sound of laughter; a boy's laughter.
Sora's laughter.

So I'm just upping the Kairi love.

But this was nice. =]

Oh well. I shall soldier on in the name of The Girl Who Is Just A Tad Too Annoying For Everyone's Tastes!
I'm glad you liked it, though!

I liked this piece. I would miss Sora's laughter too, even if I didn't know who he was. Or...something like that.
no subject
But I still admire her pluck!
Thank you! I feel like maybe it was too short, but ah well.

And Kairi, well... I still can't make up my mind. Sometimes she irritates me to no end, but when you think about it she's just a girl hopelessly in love with Sora... and who can blame her for that? ^^;;;
no subject
Okay, it's official that I'm totally alone in my Kairi love. Granted, all of my Kairi love comes from KHII alone and we don't even see her that much, but still.
no subject
To be honest, I think the single thing that annoys me most about her is the way she runs... she like, flounces. But that's not even her fault. ^^;;;

Do you? I'm glad! I was thinking, what would it be like to hear a faint sound, very faint, in the back of your mind like that? And I decided it would be like that leftover ringing in your ears, from all that noise, and you can only hear it at night, when it's quiet..
etc. Thank you!
