Hey guys, I had this story up a while ago but in writing the next couple chapters, I realized that the name Kaori and the name Kairi was way to close to each other and it got confusing while I was writing.

I didn't have to many hits before but hopefully I will now sense the second chapter will be up tonight and it's alot longer than this one. Please read and review, tell me what you think. Crit is welcomed but dont flame me. =)

I do not own KH1-2 or any of the other ones. I just write stories.

It was cold out, which was strange for July. Kadin watched the windshield wipers as they danced back and forth on the windshield. The rain was getting heavier, she noted, and turned up the stereo as they drove.

"You're never going to get anywhere in life if you keep this up, Kadin." a woman with medium length brown hair said, "you'll end up in jail, just like your brother." Her mother was scolding her again.

Kadin lit up a cigarette and scoffed, "at least I wouldn't have to listen to you bitching at me every time I turn around, plus I look good in strips." She had a migraine; her mother wasn't making it any better.

"Kadin, I'm trying to help you out here. I already lost one child; I don't need to lose you. Why can't you ever listen to what I have to say?" her mother said, turning down the stereo and holding back tears. "I'm just trying to keep you from doing something you'll regret. I'm scared that I'll get a call someday saying you're dead in a ditch!"

"MOTHER, please, just, God how many times do I have to tell you I'm fine, and I don't need you lurking around my every move. It's like I have no privacy."

"IM just saying that I don't want you DEAD! I love you and I fear for you!" Her mother yelled, no longer trying to hold back her tears. She loved Kadin so much. It would kill her to see her youngest end up dead, or in jail.

Kadin just sat there; she didn't feel the need to argue with her mother. It was pointless. She wouldn't win, she never did. She took a drag off of her cigarette before throwing it out the window. She would never admit it, but she was glad her mother was there to save her this time. How many times had her friends warned her about this boy? About how he wasn't all that she thought he was. All the stories she had heard, they were true. The memory played over and over again in her mind, like a movie.

"Aiden, please, I don't want to do this right now. I don't feel comfortable." Kadins' pleas for the blue haired boy to stop touching her were ignored.

"Awe babe, come on, I've been waiting on this for so long, your promised me today was the day." His bloodshot eyes flashed as he reached up her skirt, a wicked smile plastered to his face.

He was stoned again.

"AIDEN, STOP!" Kadin screamed, as she pushed him and went for the door. But Aiden stopped her, ripping her favorite green vest in the process.

"You ripped my vest…" She said in shock. "What the HELL?" she screamed at him, they had gotten into fights over the fact that she wasn't ready for sex, but they were never this bad.

Aiden keep on smiling that wicked smile. It scared Kadin, the way he smiled like this, as if he was enjoying what he was doing. "STOP MOVING! You're not making this easy!" he grunted as she tried once again to push him off of her, but this time it was repaid with a punch in the face.

Blood now pouring out of her lip, Kadin wiped her mouth and looked at him. His smile had turned into almost a shocked look, and his eyes just stared.

Slowly Aiden backed away, "Kay, I'm so sorry… I didn't mean…I mean, I… sorry…"

"Shut it, you just made the most horrid mistake of your life." Kadin said, as she started to run straight at him. Once she was inches from him, she hiked up her leg and kicked him square in the jaw. His head snapped to the side and he fell to the ground, clutching his face.

"Kay, what the hell?" he cried, still holding his now broken face. She didn't even stop to register what he said, she just looked down at him, pondering if he deserved another kick or not. She pushed him on hisside with her foot, "Maybe next time you'll think twice about attempting rape, or hitting another girl." Kadin spat at him and grabbed her stuff and ran out the door, she never looked back.

Kadin touched her lip, it was still sore. She winced.

"Are you ok?" her mother asked.

"I'm fine." Kadin said as they stopped at a red light. She sighed, the rain was pouring down harder than before. "You shouldn't worry about me like you do, I can handle myself."

The light turned green and her mother pressed on the gas. "Kadin, I'm your mother, I'm going to worry about you whether or…" her mother stopped talking suddenly, and quickly swerved, and what happened next seemed to go in slow motion. Kadins' mother slammed on the breaks as hard as she could, but it didn't matter what she did, there was no avoiding the other car that slammed into them. Kadin was thrown onto her mother. The sound of clashing metal and screeching tires ripped thru ears. There was broken glass everywhere, and it smelled like something was burning. Kadin couldn't move, but she could hear people yelling and the sounds of running. Everything started going gray, getting darker by the moment, she closed her eyes.

The next this she knew, she was laying flat on the cold wet pavement. She wondered what exactly had happen when she heard a woman yell, "This girl is not going to make it unless we get her to the hospital, NOW!"`

She took a shallow breath. It was all she could do. Who was that woman yelling about? And why couldn't she move, or open her eyes? Wasn't she just in the car? Her body hurt and she was cold.

Kadin felt someone picking her up, she let out an ear splitting scream and passed out.

Kadin slowly came to at the hospital, the doctors rushed around. She could hear them talking, but she couldn't understand what there were saying. She tried to move, but she couldn't. She tried to speak, but nothing came out.

Oh my God, I'm completely paralyzed. Kadin thought in horror. As she thought things couldn't get any worse, she heard her step-fathers voice, she mentally cringed.

"How is my wife?" he asked.

"Your' wife will be fine, but your daughter, we don't know yet." Said what Kadin assumed to be the doctor. "It was her side of the car that was hit. She's falling into a coma, we can't stop it."

"She's not my daughter." Her step-father said in a sickening tone that made Kadin want to jump off her bed and punch him as hard as she could.

Then what the doctor said sunk in, coma. Coma? She thought, oh lord, no, no. please, anything but this. She tried to force her eyes open, to prove she was okay, but she couldn't. She started to feel sleepy. Kadin couldn't fight this off. It was impossible. She was in shock and didn't hear the rest of what the doctor and her step-father talked about.

She sighed and cleared her mind, okay, what am I supposed to do now? She thought for a couple minutes. There was nothing she could do. She was going to be comatose and there wasn't anything anyone could do.

She started to panic again, and then she heard something. It was a small, soft voice at first, but as she focused on it, the voice got louder and but stayed soft. Kadin couldn't tell what it was saying, but she started to see a light. Kadin mentally tilted her head in confusion and called out to the voice, "I can't understand you."

The voice suddenly got clearer, "Kadin." Was all it said. The voice was a girl, and it sounded most angelic and sweet. The light started clearing up into the shape of a small girl. She had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. But the features in the girls face where still blurry.

The girl took a step towards Kadin, and lifted her hand up to her face, and then dropped it softly at her side before she spoke. "Kadin, you have another choice, I can save you. All you need to do is trust me." The figure held her hand out and Kadin hesitated. She didn't know what to do.

"Am I dying?" she asked as she looked at the out stretched hand in front of her.

The girl giggled, "No silly, I'm offering you a chance to start over, take my hand." She took a step closer to Kadin, "All will be explained soon. I promise."

Kadin sighed, "I guess anything's better than rotting in a hospital bed." She took the girls hand and gasped. It was cold. She looked at the girls face but it was still blurry.

"This way." She said, as she lifted her free hand and something popped up that looked like a swirling black vortex. The girl started to walk thru it, and Kadin hesitated again. "I can do this." She said, shaking inside. She closed her eyes.

Completely scared to death, she let the darkness take her.

Sense you got this far, I'm assuming it wasn't painstakingly horrid. Keep reading! =)
