A/N: Hello! I'd like to welcome you to the official sequel of 'I Thought I Was Alone' by well, me of course. I'd like to thank those who stuck with the story, once again, and also welcome new readers.

I feel the need to mention that there will be more focus on other 'romantical engagements' in this fiction. So be prepared for chapters that aren't just about our main characters. I like to mix things up. Also, I'm not making any promises about my overly long hiatuses, but I can only say that I hope they won't be too long. And of anything updates are guaranteed on breaks like usual. I'll do my best though! So please bear with me.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts.

1: The Strange Girl

"Sora!"

Smack.

There was now a lovely imprint from the soccer ball Hayner had accidentally kicked into his face. He rubbed his nose checking to make sure he wasn't bleeding. Luckily he wasn't. "Sorry!" he shouted with a wave of his hand.

Hayner let out a sigh of relief. "You're goalie, okay? You've got to be paying attention to the soccer ball not whatever bird is perched on some tree, got it?" Sora only nodded in response. Hayner gave him a thumbs up and then returned to the game.

Sora rubbed his hands together and got back into what he considered his 'goalie stance'. He looked as if he was a wrestler rather than a soccer goalie. He sighed. He never really enjoyed sports so when the coach insisted on playing mock games he always disliked it. Sora wasn't made for sports, he was made for cooking. That was why he signed up for cooking class this semester. He did find it kind of odd though, being the only seventeen year old guy in the class. It was a slight ego boost, something he'd never admit out loud. She wouldn't like that very much. He glanced over toward the bleachers and saw her sitting there.

Kairi.

She smiled as if she had heard him say her name. Sora blushed and gave her a small smile. The fair beauty only winked in response.

Do your best, Sora!

He smiled to himself. "Such a lovely voice," he mumbled looking down at the grass.

"Sora!"

Another smack in the face from the soccer ball, this time he wasn't all right.

"You gotta wake up now."

"Hey you, come on, you didn't get hit that hard."

"Lazy bum, wake up, please…?"

Sora jolted up looking like some crazed serial killer. "Kairi!" he shouted looking around with twitching eyes. The girl that had been attempting to call him out of his unconsciousness shrieked and fell out of the stool she had been sitting on. He blinked and shook his head around a bit snapping out of his random craze. He turned to look at the girl toppled on the floor. He chuckled to himself. "Ha…I thought Kairi was calling me, but it was just you."

She lifted herself off the ground and dusted off her black frock. "Well, I'm glad you're okay, guess I'll be going now," she mumbled taking a step backward.

Sora hopped off the bed he had been resting on. "Wait a minute, who are you?" he asked suspiciously. There was a feeling he couldn't shake. There was something familiar about this girl. He felt he knew her. But that was impossible, right? He examined her. She was fair skinned. Her hair was auburn and cut to her ears, it kind of reminded him of Kairi's hair, perhaps that's how she looked when she was younger? Her eyes looked dulled, seemed to be a shade of purple though. She didn't look happy at all, kind of how Kairi looked when he first met her, unhappy.

The girl stumbled back a little looking very nervous. "W-What are you looking at? There's nothing to see!" she exclaimed.

"I feel like I know you," Sora mumbled absent-mindedly as he inched closer to her.

The girl frowned. "I've never met you."

Sora paused. He couldn't shake this strange feeling. "Are you sure? Your voice sounds so familiar," he persisted.

By now she already at the doorway of the nurse's office, looking ready to leave. "I have never met you, now leave me alone!" she cried. Before Sora could make another comment she turned and ran away.

"H-Hey, wait!" he shouted running out the doorway after her, but she was already gone.

Sora sighed. He leaned back against the wall and stared up at the white ceiling. This encounter was going to haunt him. He just had to know her name; he had to see her again. There was one thing that confused him though, why was she in the school building if she wasn't wearing a school uniform? Also, why was she watching him if she had no relation with the school?

It was just strange to him to hear her voice, and then wake up to see her, this strange girl, who strangely reminded him of his Kai-Kai.


A/N: So I re-wrote this about a billion times lol. I think that's a proper opening though. Here's the beginning to the sequel to 'I Thought I Was Alone'.
