Author's Note: Hey there readers, well I am re-writing this one-shot collection as I do quite enjoy the concept but my ability to write some of them, not so great. I will be re-writing the majority of these but there are a few I like quite a bit and will be sprucing up instead of completely redoing. But anyways here is an Organization x Kairi one-shot collection, going backwards from 13 to 1 so we all know what that means! Starting us off, Roxas x Kairi. Hope you enjoy!

O.O.O
a surrendering heart
13: Roxas x Kairi
the love story of a nobody
O.O.O

After a day filled with friends, struggles, and sea salt ice cream, there was nothing nicer to Roxas than laying in his soft bed at night with a smile on his face and warmth in his heart. And maybe this warmth and light and happiness manifested itself into the shape of a pretty girl in his dreams.

She had been appearing for the past few nights and it had come to the point where Roxas wished for sleep just so he could meet her again. Her company was special. It was different than having Hayner around, pumping him up for the next big Struggle match, and different than Pence who was aspiring to be a photographer and would always come to Roxas for advice, and it was even different than Olette's company, which Roxas had also grown to cherish. Though Olette was sweet and pretty, she wasn't like the girl from his dreams.

He felt a special connection with her. It was like he had known her for his whole life. But that wasn't possible. He had never met her before in his life. If he had he would have definitely remembered her. Dark, red hair and pretty blue eyes. She stood shorter than him and was thin but he couldn't help but notice the way she fit into his arms was like the feeling of fitting the last piece of a puzzle.

Roxas loved everything about her. She was perfect, from her laugh to her voice to her name even. Kairi.

When she first told him her name, as they say atop he clock tower during sunset, Roxas had nearly choked. The name even sounded familiar. He knew her from somewhere, he had to have, or else she wouldn't have made such an impact on him. But when he asked her where he knew her from she would simply laugh and playfully shove him aside. She would tell him he knew where and she would call him silly.

And then he would wake up in a fluster with sweat glistening on his forehead and a strange, unsettled feeling in his gut.

But last night was different. Kairi had asked him to meet him at the train station and already Roxas could tell something was up. The train station was where you saw people off. Roxas wasn't sure he was ready to say goodbye. She hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder and began to tell him she had to leave and that she couldn't see him anymore. Roxas wrapped his arms around her, holding her close, maybe hoping she wouldn't be able to leave if he held her. He told her she had been the best part of his summer vacation and it wasn't even over yet. She couldn't leave. But Kairi simply shook her head and broke their hug. She leaned forward, giving Roxas a swift kiss on his lips and telling him something that Roxas deep down had known. She wasn't supposed to be here with him. And with that she had left, leaving Roxas to wonder where she was going and why it had hurt so bad to see someone he barely knew leave.

"What's wrong Roxas? You just wont he Struggle tournament against that rotten Setzer!" Hayner asked as he glanced over at his sullen friend. Though Roxas held the championship trophy in his hand he still had a trace of sadness behind his eyes, something Hayner, Pence, and Olette noticed was ever present when they looked at him.

Roxas glanced over at his friends, seeing his three closest friends watching him, their expressions mixed with care and worry. He smiled back and looked at the trophy. Despite the fact that his dreams were keeping him down today he knew his friends were here and enough to keep his minds of Kairi. What was he even thinking? She wasn't even a real person. She was only there in his dreams so why should she even matter?

He looked at the four marble shaped objects decorating the trophy. Why not share it with his friends? With a bit of effort, he managed to pry each colored marble from the trophy and toss it to his friends, who accepted it graciously. He held it up to the setting sun and watched as the bright light glistened off of the blue marble and lit up like a jewel. "As promised." He remarked, a feeling of warmth beginning to spread throughout his chest again.

"Thanks a ton, Roxas!" Pence said as he held his green marble up to the light and tilted his head to the side, inspecting it carefully.

Hayner nodded in agreement and laughed, holding his red one up as well. "One more treasure for us to share." And Roxas grinned, knowing Hayner was right. It was a treasure and he was happy to share it with the three people who mattered to him the most. They were real anyways, not some picture-perfect girl his subconscious conjured up.

"I've got a present too...for all of us." Olette stated and Roxas turned to her with a smile. At least Olette was real. She was just as cute as Kairi had been. The only thing different was the deep connection he felt with Kairi but he could surely make a connection with Olette after some time. Right? She leaned over towards him and pulled out another type of treasure: four sea salt ice creams.

"Whoah." Hayner warned as Roxas stood up quickly, teetering on the edge of the clock tower. He grinned, about to tell the other to relax when his foot slipped and wavered side to side before completely tumbling off of the clock tower.

He fell slowly, slowly and it felt like all of time had completely slowed as he felt a link stir in his mind. A link from his mind to another. He could even place a name.

Naminé? He could feel the link waver and he felt something strong stir within his chest. The link was strong and growing stronger. It was like he could feel a presence here beside him or perhaps even within him. Naminé...what's happening to me? He asked although he wasn't sure she would even know.

Who are you? And that's not my name. She said and Roxas couldn't believe what he was hearing. That voice...that voice... I'm Kairi. It was her. He was talking to her, here and now. She was real. He knew it, he knew she was real. What was this connection he felt with her? Why did she tug at his heart in a way he couldn't remember anyone doing for a while.

Kairi...I know you. He said, slowly realizing where it was he knew her from. He now knew why he had felt a connection with her. His heart dropped. You're that girl he likes. And the 'he' Roxas was referring to was Sora.

Who? She asked, desperation clear in her voice. Please, a name. She begged.

I'm Roxas. He told her, maybe a bit stubborn in his efforts to tell her his name instead of the one she really cared to know.

Okay Roxas, but can you tell me his name? He didn't know why it hurt, it didn't know why it stung so badly but he could almost feel his summer memories falling away from him. At least … the ones of her. Because they weren't real. In no way, shape, or form. And they never would be.

And his link to her was gone and replaced with another, a more important voice rang in their mind's. The one she really wanted to hear.

You don't remember my name? Thanks a lot, Kairi! He said. She gasped in surprised to be hearing his voice. O-kay, I guess I can give you a hint. Starts with an "S."

It was Sora's name she longed to hear. Sora's voice she wanted to hear. It was Sora's feelings that Roxas felt.

But was it selfish of Roxas … that he wanted to keep them all to himself?

O.O.O

Author's Note: I actually really liked this. I'm not sure how entirely accurate it is in regards to if Roxas is aware of Sora yet. I mean, he does say you're the girl he likes but I haven't played this game in so long and am watching cut scenes to keep up with dialogue. But anyways this is just a different spin and interpretation of that scene and I liked it. It is way better than my original Roxiri chapter. Anyways hope you enjoyed this :) Please review. Larxene x Kairi will be next.
