Prologue: The Auburn Haired Girl
The last class sessions have been dismissed by the ring of the bell. Students were pouring out of the classrooms glad that classes were over. A certain blonde spiked haired boy came running out of the classroom to meet his friends.
He saw them by the pillar peering over at something. Their definitely at it again, he doesn't understand why they always pick on her. What did she do anyway to deserve such treatment? He doesn't like what they are doing to her but then they are his friends what can he do?
"Roxas over here…" A brunette haired girl said waving to him.
Roxas approached the group. The group was much known in the Academy as the only ones who could stand up against Seifer and his gang. The group consisted of a dirty blonde haired boy named Hayner, a brunette haired boy with a camera always in his hand named Pence, Olette a brunette girl who is known for being bright in the class and lastly him.
"Aren't you guys getting tired of picking on her all the time?" Roxas asked.
"No, it's just so funny." Hayner said. "Look even Seifer picks on her but he does it a lot more badly than us." He added.
"Shhh… Here she comes." Olette said pointing at a certain auburn haired girl.
Roxas doesn't know much about the auburn haired girl, though she was in most of his classes and the fact that she used to be a classmate back from an old school. She doesn't talk much to people and always seats at the corner of the room. Maybe that was the reason why students bully her, because she's quite a loner.
The auburn haired girl stopped at her locker and turned her lock combination. When she opened it a pile of crumbled paper came falling on the floor.
Hayner and his gang except Roxas laughed. Pence even took a photo when she was down on her knee picking everything up and stuffing it at her bag. The students that were there just laughed as they watch. Roxas looked at her with pity as she walked away from the laughing crowd.

The auburn haired girl ran to the comfort room. No one was there so she closed and locked the door. She dropped her bag and climbed up the sink and curled her self into a ball and began crying. She doesn't understand why people always make her feel miserable. Didn't she suffer enough a few years ago?
She leaned her head on the mirror and looked at it. The blood color hair reminds her of that accident that changed her life for the worst. She removed her I.D. and looked at it.
The name "Kairi Sakura" was written along with a photo of an auburn haired girl.
After a few hours of sobbing she went down the sink. She washed her hair the sound of running water echoed in the room. The red colored water ran down the drain as the faucet was turned off. She took a dry towel from her bag and dried her hair with it. She then looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was no longer being looked back by an auburn haired girl, but a blonde girl instead looked back at her.
"I am Naminé Sakura." Naminé said to her self. She looked at the ID lying next to the sink. "Kairi…" She mumbled.
Naminé took it and hid it in her bag. She then peeked outside. The halls were deserted; the students have all been gone when she was crying. She then went out of the comfort room.
"Miss Sakura your still here." A short raven haired woman said. "Did something happen Kairi?" She asked.
"No… Something… To do…" Naminé said trying her best to hide her golden locks using the towel. No one in the Academy knows about her secret and when she talks to people she talks to them by word which is making people hard to understand her.
"If there's anything troubling you just tell me okay. Ms. Yuffie here will help you." Yuffie said.
After saying goodbye to Yuffie, Naminé left the Academy before anyone could see her. She was a few distance away from home when she just remembered she washed her haired back to its normal color. If her parents saw her, well she doesn't even wanna think about it. Instead of heading home she turned around and headed for the person who had accepted her for what she is.

A blonde young man was preparing his dinner, when suddenly he heard the door bell.
"Who could it be at this hour?" He murmured as he went to answer the door.
When he opened it he saw Naminé standing.
"Naminé…" He said.
"Hi Cloud. Ummm…" Naminé said a shade of red appeared on her cheeks.
Cloud knew why she came; obviously he knows what his insane sister and her husband who was his brother-in-law would do to poor Naminé if they see her not as Kairi.
"Do you wanna stay here for the night?" Cloud asked.
"Could I?" Naminé said smiling.
"Of course, I'll call Ame and tell her." Cloud said. "Come on inside I was just preparing dinner." He added.
"Thanks…" Naminé said and went inside.
Cloud grabbed the cordless phone and dialed a number. Naminé continued on preparing dinner
"Ame, it's me Cloud." Cloud said. "Listen Na-… I mean Kairi is here right now and she'll be staying for the night." He added.
Naminé didn't pay too much attention. Cloud always did everything for her and was the only one who she talks to normally; he didn't like being called uncle though so Naminé just calls him by his name. As for her parents well she had to what other choice does she have?
"Don't worry I'll take good care of her." Cloud said and put the phone down. "Problem solved. Shall we eat?" He added smiling.
Naminé nodded. They ate in silence until Cloud broke that silence.
"So how are you doing at school?" Cloud asked. "Anyone bullying you, because if they did I'll pound them real hard..." He added.
Naminé shook her head. Cloud definitely could tell she was lying, but he let it slide. He didn't want to push Naminé too hard.
"Listen if you have any problems just remember I'm always right here." Cloud said. "Oh, and Tifa also wants to talk to you. So you're gonna have a session with her this Saturday. Of course we'll do it here in my house. We still have to check if you're still at your right mind. With all Ame has been telling you and making you think I just wanna double check…" He added.
"Okay…" Naminé said.
After dinner Cloud had told Naminé to take a rest and he'll clean up. Naminé went to the room Cloud had reserved for her whenever she didn't wanna go home. If she just have lost all her love for them, she could have left that forsaken house a long time ago and lived with Cloud instead.
Naminé lied at her bed thinking about her session with Tifa. She was actually a psychiatrist, one who helps people with their problem mentally. It's not that Naminé was loosing her sanity; Tifa would just ask her if she still thinks she's Naminé. Silly right… The story behind it was very disturbing. Naminé took out her sketch pad and began drawing instead to pass time. A few minutes later she had fallen asleep, the pencil still at her hand.
Cloud came in the room and saw Naminé was asleep. He took her sketch pad and the pencil and laid at the desk. He then tucked her in the blankets and kissed her on the forehead.
"Why did they have to bury you in the ground…?" Cloud whispered. "Was it to bring Kairi to life? I'm sorry… For everything they've made you do." He added and left Naminé's room.
