It was a calm sunset. Almost no sound at all… the sound of water crashing on the shore and rustling of leaves when the wind blows. Two birds quietly sang to each other as the orange glow of the sun touched their feathers.

A small area close to the island was connected by a bridge for others to reach it. Three human-shaped silhouettes were there, they were quietly talking when suddenly they outburst in laughter.

"What was THAT!?" The girl laughed. She was wearing a white tank top, and a short purple skirt. She has short, thin red hair. "You squeaked, Riku!" A boy said, he's wearing a red coat-like suit with tripp-like shorts, a blue belt to cut it, and a black and blue hoodie over it. "ok, so? I tried to break the quiet! It's so boring here!" Another boy said. He has shoulder-length silver hair, although he's only 15. Wearing a sleeveless yellow shirt, and jeans.

"AND, Sora, I'll tell you why…" The girl giggled, she knew what was going to happen. Riku walked up to Sora and whispered "Because…" Then snatched Sora's hood and put it over his head. Then took the girl's hand and shouted "Run, Kairi!" Sora put his hood down and exposed his brown wild-like shaped hair and chased after them. Sora caught up with them and playfully tackled them down. Sora, Riku, and Kairi laughed on the sand together. Later on, Sora and Kairi were sitting on a tree that grew horizontally while Riku leaned on it next to them.

The sky was indigo, and Riku said "Well, what personality would you NEVER want to have?" Without skipping a beat, Sora said "EMO!" Kairi blushed,

"STRIPER…" Riku thought hard, "PERVERT" It wasn't much, but it was nice to be able to confide someone about something like that with un-awkward silence after. "Sora, time for dinner!" Sora's mom called. Sora jumped down from the tree "Well, that's my que. See ya." "Bye." Kairi whispered with a blush. "I should go too, bye Riku." and Kairi walked home. Riku left too.

That night Kairi couldn't sleep. Every time she woke up she heard distant scream.

Around the third time Kairi woke up she looked out her window just to duck back down in fear. It was Sora's screams! It was Sora and his mom, outside. What she saw was Sora's mom punching him in the face. Sora fell onto the side of his house covering his mouth. Kairi felt her tears come when she saw this. Kairi cried even harder then that she noticed she couldn't help at all! Riku saw all of this, too. Sora was being beaten by his mom! It was a while after when the screams stopped and the island was quiet again.

It was all wrong! Sora's mom would never hurt anyone! Especially her own son! Did Sora strike a nerve? What did she do?

Kairi looked back up, tears still in her eyes. Sora's mom was gone. What a relief, but what wasn't… Sora was there, sitting on the side of his house, crying. Kairi looked over to Riku's window. Riku already jumped out and was running toward Sora. Kairi followed him to Sora's side.

"Sora—" Riku got cut off by Sora "I…DIDN'T DO ANYTHING DON'T TAKE YOUR ANGER OUT ON ME!!!!" Sora was still covering his face. "WHAT DID I DO??" Kairi hugged Sora, he jumped and lifted his face from his hands. His bottom lip busted, and blood streaming out of his mouth. A brose next to his right eye, and there was a cut on the top of his left eye that seemed deep, and could only open it halfway. There were a few cuts on both of his hands. Sora's tears reflecting the light of the moon. "You guys… sorry, I-I thought you were…" Sora stopped "I-m…sorry. I mean--" Riku hugged Sora and started crying "We couldn't help you… WE should be sorry! I just sat and watched while YOU got hurt, YOU started bleeding, and YOU cried! *sniff* we're sorry! I regret that I couldn't help, I'm such a jerk…"

Another pulse of sadness went through them…
