Snippet #1416698

Hearing Riku's voice behind her startled her. She opened her eyes and just about fell backward off the tree, she was caught off guard. "Do you always have to sneak up on people? You're like a ninja." She looked back up at the stars. She saw the one star fade. "Riku? What does it mean when a star fades?" she asked questioningly. She sensed that it couldn't have been good.
It's getting really late. Mom and Dad will be worried. Even though they know that I'm just on the island. It was something that she always did. When ever she knew that Riku would be coming back on a certain day she would go wait out on the island to greet him when he finally arrived.
Kaizume jumped off the tree. "Am I old enough today?!" she asked annoyed. "I'm sick and tired of waiting till I'm 'older'. Well when exactly is 'older'?" She began to walk across the bridge and over to the dock, where she had docked her rowboat. "And if we don't get going, Mom and Dad are going to think that I got kidnapped. Jeesh, I'm seventeen today!"
