The Heart is a Strange Thing

------------------------------------------------------------------

Sora sat on the beach next to Kairi.

" How long has it been since I came back?" Sora broke the silence.

" I think almost four months." Kairi answered. Sora glanced at her, taking in her beautiful hair, her smooth skin and those luscious lips… 'No,' He thought. 'Now is not a good time, Sora.'

" Sora… it's getting late. Don't you think we should be heading home?" Kairi asked. Sora put his arms around her, and whispered in her ear,

" Don't worry. I'll protect you." His warm breath made Kairi shiver, and she lay against him, smiling.

" Sora, you're warm." She snuggled up to him, causing Sora to blush.

" You are too." He pulled her closer to him. Kairi turned a faint pink as his arms snaked around her waist.

" Kairi… Um…" Sora stuttered.

" Yes?" Her blue eyes looked down at him.

" Never mind."

" Aw, come one." She whined, putting cutely. 'Darn! Why does she have to do that?' Sora thought, an on-going battle of mind versus heart happening. "What's wrong?" Kairi asked, showing concern. She untangled herself from him, turning to face him. Immediately, Sora missed her warmth.

" Nothing. You are. No you're not! Argh!" Sora rubbed his head. Kairi looked at him, confused.

" What are you talking about? You –mmph!" Sora crashed his lips against hers. Closing her eyes, she returned the kiss, letting out all her untold feelings. Riku, Roxas, and Namine watched the two from afar, smiling.

" Took them long enough!" Roxas laughed. Riku glanced at him.

" What about you and Namine? Why haven't you two got together yet? You two are taking longer then they have!" Namine turned red.

" W-what are you talking about?" She stuttered, setting down her sketch of the sunset.

" The romance going on between you two that hasn't happened yet." Riku raised an eyebrow. The two looked at Riku, then at each other, and then blushed. Riku smirked.

" I'll leave you two alone." Grabbing his surfboard, he left the couple, smirking.

" Heheh. One day, you two are going to have to realize it. And as for Sora and Kairi… I'm going to need an excuse to spread this." Walking up to the kissing Sora and Kairi, he interrupted them. " If you two are going to do this, shouldn't you be in a house? The sand gets itchy, you know." The two pulled apart and blushed. Smiling at his victory, Riku walked towards home.

Yay! I liked it the way it turned out. Yes, I know it was short. (Sighs) Only CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is aloud with me. Bye!
