Though he didn’t knwo how it exactly was to happen, it seemed as though Kai’s immidiate future had been decided for him. Staying on Traverse Town, while not a bad idea in theory, wasn’t in the cards. He had to find Aira no matter what it took. If he had to go to the many worlds that apparently existed, then Kai would cross the ends of the world to find her. Going along with Cielle in her ship was no doubt the only way to accomplish this. Kai didn’t have his own ship, so there really wasn’t any other choice for him.

[color=20b2aa]“So, how do we know if your ship is ready?”[/color] Kai asked Cielle.

Yuffie interjected, “you go to Cid’s Accessory Shop, of course.”

[color=20b2aa]“Cid? You mean that tall, blond man in the First District?”[/color]

Surprised, Yuffie turned to face Kai. “You’ve met Cid?”

Kai nodded, [color=20b2aa]“he’s the one who initially told me about a girl my age that ended up being Cielle.”[/color]

Yuffie laughed, though it was Aerith who would respond vocally. “It does seem your fates were meant to cross.”

The blond teen gave Aerith a nod, smiling. “I suppose so.”

“Well, then let’s go see the old man!”

Yuffie took the lead in this short journey away from the Third District, and through a quick trek through the Second District. It was a relatively quick journey to Cid’s shop since the presence of the Heartless seemed to have disappeared. Kai didn’t know why. The Second District was swarming with the Heartless before, but now it seemed there wasn’t even a handful of Shadow Heartless. It wasn’t like Kai was complaining; he did find it weird, however.

Shrugging at it mentally, Kai looked ahead as he saw the sight of Cid’s shop. They all walked in and Cid was waiting for them, it seemed.

“You’re just in time. I got that Gummi piece you wanted.” Cid said to Cielle, though Kai was puzzled.
