Chapter 1: Wait, What?

He was alone. Where was Donald? Where was Goofy? He was so weak! How could he keep going? Riku…Why aren't you with me. Why do I have to suffer to find you? Sora winced as he felt a heartless hit him from the back and was plunged forward. "Idiot. Do you have to sleep through everything."

"Huh?" Sora looked up to find Riku had been the one to push him forward, it wasn't a heartless. Riku sent him a small glare and looked away, Sora moved his eyes to where Riku was looking to see Kairi watching both of them, she looked terribly flustered. "Oh. Hi Kairi." Sora sent his friend a grin as always. Not even his grin seemed to work as Kairi looked away, her auburn hair brushing her cheek as she did so. She really was one of the most beautiful girls on the islands now. And no one could beat her, as far as Sora knew anyway. At school she was best known as a regular beauty. In fact, upon their return from the second failure made by Xemnas to awaken Kingdom Hearts, Sora had become rather obsessed with being with Kairi. She had been like his saviour a chance to get away from confusion. It wasn't that he didn't like Riku. But what could Riku do when he was part of the problem.

"Hello? Er, Riku. I think he's out of it again…" Kairi giggled raising a hand to cover her already soft giggles.

"I told you. You have to talk fast and make big hand motions. Your talking to the biggest holder of A.D.D. on the Islands. Remember?" Riku gave a lazy and smug smirk at Sora who pouted.

"Cut it out Riku! Am not!"

"See he pays attention when you talk Riku." Kairi coyly smiled at Sora and Sora winced wishing now that he hadn't told her his present thoughts.

"What are you-?" Riku looked between both of us as he did whenever he susptected something but then rolled his eyes. "Just great. I'm another punch line for one of your little jokes." He grumbled and looked away, playing Sora like a harp.

"No Riku! Not like that! It's not a joke! Really. Were sorry! Aren't we Kairi!" Riku looked at Sora as he shook his head.

"I don't believe you Sora. " Riku putting up an angry front.

"No Riku! Really! What can I do to prove it to you!"

"Well we all know what you want to do, don't we?" a new voice joined them as the door to the top of the roof of the school opened and in stepped two boys. One was shorter then the other and could easily be recognized by his red spikes and his black clothes. He looked a little younger then how most people would have remembered him.

"Heheheh. Hi Axel." Kairi giggled. "Hey! What about me huh? Ugh. Never mind. It's not like I matter." Said the other boy he had the same deep blue eyes as Sora and yet lighter and more blonde looking hair. He was also wearing black except for his sleeves which were a deep red and some silver chains which hung from his neck, his hands rested in his pockets as he refused to look at the others.

Sora seemed glad to escape the uncomfortable and awkward situation he was just put in to run to his "Nobody". "ROXAS!" Sora happily tackled his other half as Roxas tried to pull the brunette off him.

"Sora. Cut it out! Seriously! Get off! C'mon!" Roxas and Sora became heavily involved in trying to wrestle the other one off them.

"You guys! I'm trying to tell you something!" Kairi shouted making all of them freeze and Sora slowly fell over because Roxas was no longer trying to hold him off. Riku shook his head and turned to look at Kairi trying not to look at Sora, he had been eyeing the other boy as he had wrestled with Roxas, enjoying every minute the brunette's shirt rode up a little bit. I'm such a pervert.

How can I say this? I love my other side? I love me? It sounds so weird. But I do. I Love her. Is that wrong? No. Is it really love? Or is it just confusion? Maybe I don't. Maybe I just miss her. I mean Sora got to see Roxas again. Why can't I see her? Namine….

Kairi felt like she was suffocating. How could she tell her friends this. But she had made the deiciesion last night with the 6th dream of Namine in a row that she needed to tell her friends of her problem.

"What is it Kairi?" Kairi trailed her own blue eyes to meet Sora's. He was always so kind and had bestowed his own deep secret with her she knew it was only right she returned it. She had even asked Axel and Roxas to come since she knew if Roxas heard a small bit of it from Sora he would force the whole thing out of him and then turn back around to her and get back at her for not telling him. Certainly, Sora's other side was crueler then the original. Although when it came to looks she knew they were both just as cute. Also it would be good to have strong protectors of her secret. Axel and Riku were quite protective, in her own way she had made an agreement that they both were perfect matches for their younger and cuter friends.

"Spill it. What's going on?" Riku folded his arms at the only girl in the group. He was surprised to say in the least not to see Tidus or Wakka and especially not to see Selphie and he wanted to know why, and now. Since in any other way he could be with Sora by the beach….Riku! Focus! Your turning into Sora.

Axel and Roxas both sent her odd looks and then looked at each other. Since they hadn't known her very well to begin with this was strange for them to be called out regarding a secret but they waited.

Finally, Kairi closed her eyes and spoke. "I think, and I'm not sure really. But I might be thinking about Namine to much."

"What do you mean?" Sora asked and Axel nudged him so the brunette glared at him and turned back to Kairi. He didn't mean to be so slow, it was just there. He really was trying hard to understand. Then he remembered his confession to Kairi….

-----------------------------------------------------A Few weeks Ago, Kairi's House

"Sora. You really are such a bother aren't you," Kairi shook her head at the boy as he sat there on her bed, swinging his legs back and forth. He looked up at Kairi with a apologetic look and Kairi shook her head at him. She was trying her hardest to draw him on her sketchbook as Namine had done but found herself failing miserabley. Annoyed with her work she threw it to the side and walked over to him, and folded her arms, feeling a lot like Riku as she did so. "Tell me. Why have you been so depressed lately?"

"Huh?" Sora looked at her, in his eyes she could see confusion and wanted to help him, she sat by his side on the bed when all of a sudden the phone rang and holding up a finger at him as if to say, "Don't move." And clicking the talk button she answered,

"Hello, Manien Residence. Kairi speaking." A male voice on the other line answered and although she imeadieatly recognized it she frowned to hear the tone.He sounded upset which was new.

"Hey Kairi. Er, Uh, is Sora there? I heard he went to visit you…again.." Was that jealousy she sensed, she frowned and looked to Sora who raised an eyebrow at her and blinked a few times in question.

"Um, Yeah. Hang on Riku." She looked to Sora and held out the phone. At the mention of Riku's name, Sora had jumped up from the bed and now stood pushed against the opposite side of the room's wall, looking like a trapped mouse. "Sora? Wha'ts going on? Take the phone. It's Riku." What Riku was thinking on the other line right now she didn't know.

"I-I-I can't. I'm not here." Sora stuttered and Kairi rolled her eyes.

"I told him you were here already." Sora defeatedly moved away from the wall and reached out for the phone But as he picked it up and Riku's nervous voice could be heard from the other line. He normally didn't speak so loud and franticly.

"Sora? Sora? Come on! Hello? Sora?" Sora closed his blue eyes and looking pained without raising the receiver to his mouth he clicked the "End" button.

-----------------------------------------------------------Back to the School Roof

"Sora! You have got to be the worst friend in the world! Listen to her! Geez." Roxas snorted at the more cheerful ones spacey ness once more.

"I am paying attention!" Sora argued and looked back at Kairi, but before he could open his mouth, Riku spoke.

"Am I right then in assuming you believe you have feelings for Namine then?" Kairi looked to Riku weakly, and then looked away.

"What are you talking about Riku? Kairi? Namine? I don't get it. It doesn't make sense. No. I think Kairi is just confused." Sora looked to Kairi and feeling rather nervous spoke as well. "Right Kairi? I mean…Jumping to a conclusion like that is a bad idea."

"I suppose." Kairi responded not sure what to say when she had been thinking as Riku had said. "Well, how long have you been feeling this way?" Axel spoke up now, flicking back a stray red spike. Roxas was watching all of this unfold. Not really sure what to say, unlike his more louder half.

"AXEL! Your're jumping to conclusions to! Kairi isn't like that! Right? Then she would be interested in other girls too! Right! I'm right! I know I am!"

"That's a first." Axel said coolly and Sora glared at him.

"Cut it out! Look. Kairi! If you really feel that way it's okay. But I think you should be careful. Maybe you just miss her! You know?" Kairi looked to Sora and nodded quickly.

"Yes. I was thinking that was a possibility."

"What does your heart tell you?" Roxas asked her suddenly speaking and making everyone jump. "That's what we went through, to learn to trust and listen to your heart. What does it say?"

Kairi looked down and closed her eyes taking everything out of the way until she could hear her own heartbeat. Thump.Bmp.Thump. My Feelings…

"I don't know." Kairi said finally looking up at all of them. "Maybe I should think about it more. Sorry for bothering you."

"NO! Kairi! You have to tell us! Tell me! Why do you think that you love her?" Kairi opened her eyes once more and met Sora's.

"Why do you care anyway?" Riku challenged the brunette. "Tell me. Before, when Axel said "We all know what you want to do…" after what you said about proving to me you care about me…What did he mean? What are you hiding?" Riku looked into Sora's eyes too, forcing the brunette to quickly look away.

Why does he have to be so smart? Why can't he just forget it. At this rate he'll figure out my secret! Unless I cover it up!….That's it!

"NO! NONE OF THAT'S TRUE! I LOVE KAIRI!" Silence followed his statement as Sora took in deep breaths after his yell.
