"Sora!" A girl with short reddish brown hair cried out. She was falling into darkness, while the figure of a dark, spiky haired boy was shrinking in the distance. "Kairi!" He held out his hand, reaching for her…

"Wah!" A girl of fifteen years of age jolted awake, sitting up in her bed. 'That was a strange dream…' she thought to herself. 'Oh well…there've been worse.' She got up, reminiscing about all the strange dreams she'd ever had…and boy were there a lot… She walked into the bathroom, undressed and hopped into the shower. Her shoulder length, reddish brown hair was soon dark with water. As the water gurgled down the drain, she started singing. "When you walk away, you don't hear me say please oh baby, don't go… simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight…it's hard to let it go…"

A boy with unruly, spiky brown hair woke with a jolt. "KAIRI!" he yelled. He sat up panting.

"Sora are you okay honey?" A motherly voice called through the heavy oak door.

"Yeah, I'm…I'm f-fine mum," the boy called out, still a little unnerved by his dream.

"Okay then…" His mum said, sounding unsure. The boy, Sora, waited until his mum's footsteps faded away until he got up. Pacing over to the window, he opened it a cool breeze played across his bare chest. His room looked out across the street, to a house across the road. Sora stared at the view before him. The most beautiful girl he'd ever seen was dancing in her room, just in front of the window. He could faintly hear angelic singing that he presumed to be her. "You're giving me…everything…lately…you're all I need…you smiled at me…and said, don't get me wrong I love you but does that mean I have to meet your father. When we are older you'll understand what I meant when I said no, I don't think life is quite that simple…" The song vaguely reminded him of another time…another place…another person…

"Kairi!" The girl stopped mid-song.

"What!" Kairi yelled back, annoyed that her mum interrupted her while she was singing. She knew she wasn't very good, but for once the song, Simple and Clean seemed to just fit her voice perfectly.

"It's time for school dear."

'CRAP!' Kairi silently yelled at herself, falling over as she tried to yank a short, pink dress over her head. (A/N: Kind of like the one in KH2)

As Kairi arrived at her high school, Destiny College, she mentally kicked herself in the head. If she was late again, she'd get a Wednesday. (A/N: A Wednesday is an after school detention, generally taken place on a Wednesday lol) She ran down the hallways to her home class and burst through the door.

"Kairi Testyukami! You're LATE! Again!" the teacher yelled at her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Kairi apologized, trying to make up a feeble excuse.

"Just go sit down," the teacher sighed.

"Kairi! Over here!" A girl with blonde hair waved, grinning.

"Hey Namine!" Kairi greeted her best friend with a huge smile.

"WOULD YOU PLEASE BE QUIET!" the two girls jumped.

"He's so mean… you've only been late like four times…" Namine whispered to Kairi. "Uh...Nam…we've only been back at school for four days…" Kairi laughed, earning herself a few hushing noises.

There was a knock at the door, and everyone turned their heads. A boy with spiky, chocolate brown hair stood there. Kairi's mouth gaped open. 'He's gorgeous!' She thought, eyeing him up and down. 'How have I not noticed him yet?' The boy had a nice build, and a deeply tanned body. He was 5"9, a foot taller than Kairi. 'The perfect height for kissing…' Kairi sighed dreamily. 'Wait! What? I barely even know him…but still… just look at his eyes…' His eyes were a cerulean colour, and had many depths to them. Kairi was lost in those orbs of his…

"CLASS! Attention!" The teacher barked. Everyone snapped their heads to the front of the class where they're teacher was standing. "Come here," He beckoned to the boy, smiling and baring wolf-like teeth. The guy looked frightened but walked over nonetheless. "What's your name?" the teacher asked in an overly condescending voice.

The boy glared at the teacher. "I'm Sora Kurosawa. I've been in your class since the first day of term."

Kairi gasped. The name repeated a thousand times over in her head. He was so familiar, yet so strange. A person who existed only in her dreams…

Sora looked around. He could've sworn he heard someone gasp. His eyes searched out faces around the room, until he laid eyes on an angel. Her face, he had seen her face before. He met her eyes and saw into their depths. Several moments passed before Sora was snapped out of his stupor. Sora glared at the teacher, who was waving his hand in front of Sora's face in the most annoying fashion. "Well, sorry mister but I thought you'd like to take your seat sometime TODAY!" the teacher snapped, as Sora hurried to the back of the class. Sora spent the rest of the double period staring at the back of the girl's head.

The bell rang signaling the end of lessons and the start of lunch, and as Kairi walked out of the classroom, Sora caught up with her. She waited for him to introduce himself, but he didn't say anything. After they had been walking for sometime together, in an awkward silence, Kairi decided to say something.

"Hi! I'm Kairi! Have you been going to Destiny High for long?" Kairi asked cheerfully. Sora looked kind of startled, still adjusted to the silence. "Uhh…No I just started this term."

"Huh… Why'd you come half way through the year and not at the start?"

"Oh, because I moved from…well…from somewhere faraway…" Sora said, a little sadly, remembering his old home. Kairi peered at his crumpled face, and decided to change the subject. "So you haven't been around here long have you? Well I'll show you the neighbourhood! Want to go for a walk after school?" Kairi said enthusiastically. At once Sora's face brightened. "Sure!"

"Well my locker's this way so I'll meet you here after school kay?" Kairi called to him, already walking away.

"Definitely!" Sora walked away, feeling elated. He didn't know why but for some reason he felt a special connection with this girl...
