He glanced her way again, and she caught his eye and smiled. She was beautiful with her red hair slightly blowing in the light breeze, her blue eyes locking with his. Her petite form curving perfectly to sit straight in her desk, her slender legs crossed under her lovely hands that sat neatly folded on her desk. He couldn't help but smile back. He was back on the Islands, and now he was with her again. He would never leave her again.
"Sora!" The teacher barked, snapping the brown haired boy out of his thoughts. He looked up at his teacher. "Do you know the answer?"
"Um..." Sora stuttered, earning him the snickers and whispers of his fellow classmates. Then the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day and the beginning of the weekend. Sora grabbed his backpack and looked for Kairi among the ocean of students filing out of Destiny High. He finally spotted her distinct red hair and made his way to walk alongside her.
"Saved by the bell again, huh, Sora?" she teased, her pretty voice spilling out of her perfect lips.
"Yeah, I guess I'm just lucky." he answered, leaning against the wall next to her locker as she got out her books.
"I guess so." she said, turning her head to smile at him.
He smiled back. "How about we go to the Island tonight?"
"Okay! I'll tell Riku." she replied, about to turn to find her other friend, but Sora caught her arm.
"No, I mean..." he took a step towards her, "Just you and me."
Kairi smiled up at him, nodding. Then she looped her arm through Sora's, and the two made their way out of school.

The silver haired junior stepped out of his last class just in time to see his other two friends skipping happily out of school. In the four months that he and Sora had been back, the three had begun to get distant. The three sometimes hung out and did stuff together, but because he was a grade older he didn't see them at school and they barely went to the Islands anymore. His small crush for Kairi was now in his past, seeing how much she cared for Sora. To her, he was a close friend, nothing more.
He sighed; lots of girls had shown interest in him, and many of them had asked him out, but he turned them all away. He hadn't found the right one, and often wondered if Kairi was the only one for him, but he had lost his chance with her, if he ever had one.
He stepped outside and turned to see Kairi and Sora disappear around a corner. His house was the other way, so he turned away again and began walking. Soon, though, he had unwanted company. "Hi Riku!"
He groaned inwardly. Out of all the people who annoyed him, the brown haired one at his side now was definitely in the Top Ten. "Hi, Selphie."
"Oh, so you do remember me!" she giggled.
Riku sighed. Every day she said the same thing. Every single day she glommed onto him, said hi, he said hi, and she used the exact same line. It bugged him and sometimes he truly wanted to turn and punch her.
"So, wanna go to the movies or something?" she asked, hopeful his answer would finally change.
"No." he said coldly, quickening his pace to try and lose her, but she stayed in step with him.
"Are you sure?" she whined, pouting.
"Very. Bye, Selphie." He said, turning to his front door, stepping into his house and slamming the door in her face before she could say anymore. He sighed again, dropped his bag on the floor and walked into the kitchen to get something to drink. He looked at the fridge, which had a note saying, "Went out for the night. Be back soon. Casserole in the microwave. Mom and Dad."
Riku went back into the front hall and did his homework in his dad's study, then went upstairs to his room, shut the door and flopped onto his bed. He looked up at his ceiling for a long time, then his eyes closed and he fell asleep.
"Riku?"
He was in a dark room. The voice came from everywhere and nowhere. "Hello?" he called.
"Help me."
"...Help you?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I need your help. Please. I'm dying."
"Dying?"
"Yes. Please, contacting you is using all my power. I'm weak."
"What can I do?"
"You are the only one. Help me, please..."
"Who are you?"
"Help..." the voice was fading.
"No, wait! Who are you?"
Suddenly Riku saw a flash of a face in agony. A scream erupted like it was inside of him. It hurt, he hurt. He clutched his head and keeled over.
Then he was awake again. He touched his head, then realized he was still in his school uniform. He quickly changed then ran downstairs and out the front door...only to bump into something outside.
"Selphie?"
"Oh, uh...hi, Riku!" she exclaimed. She had a goofy smile on her face, and Riku realized it was because he was on top of her. He stood up without bothering to help her up.
"Selphie, why the heck are you here?" Riku asked angrily.
"Well, I came to see if you wanted to do something?" she asked nervously, rubbing her hands. She smiled softly at him.
"Didn't I already say no?" he said, brushing past her, walking in the opposite direction. Tears welled up in her green eyes, and she turned.
"Riku! Your heart's going to turn cold if you never let anyone in!" she called.
He stopped dead in his tracks. He turned slowly to face her, and walked to her slowly until they were inches apart. "You know nothing about me, or my hearts. You know nothing. You're trying to act like you're so dramatic, that you know me. You don't. So give it up." he said darkly, then turned and started walking again.
"Riku..." she said, "I do know you. If you let me in...you know you like me. I know you like me. We were meant to be. I know it, and you know it too. Just look in your heart!"
"My heart is telling me..." Riku started.
"Yes?" she asked hopefully.
"That you need to shut up, Selphie." he said coldly, then continued walking, leaving the girl watching him walk off. He'll come around, she thought.
Riku didn't know where he was going, he had to find the girl that begged him for help. He wished he could talk to her again. He knew it was a girl, the voice was feminine. And the face that flashed in his mind was female, he thought. It was a quick flash.
He sighed, then tried a last resort. He concentrated, then thought and hoped beyond hope she would hear him and be able to answer.

The two fifteen year olds stood on one of the structures on the island watching the sunset. Kairi gasped at the beauty. Sora smiled at her. "Are you enjoying yourself?"
"Yeah. You know, we've done this so many times, but it's so nice, when it's just you and me. Remember, when we were younger, on the dock?"
How could he forget?
"Sora! Let's take the raft! Just the two of us!"
"Huh?"
"Hee hee hee! Just kidding!"
"You're the one that's changed, Kairi!"
"Maybe..."
"It'll be great, once we set sail..."
Sora remembered how desperately he wanted to cry yes. How much he wanted to go with just Kairi. But he was here now with her, and he wasn't going to mess up the oppurtunity.
The sun was almost gone but now stars and the moon provided light. In the pale blue rays Kairi looked lovely. "Kairi...Sometimes I wish we could've gone, just the two of us, on that raft."
Kairi's smile faded, and she looked down at her hands.
Sora inwardly kicked himself and he knew he had said the wrong thing. But then, Kair spoke, "I wish it all the time, Sora. But I feel guilty when I do."
"Don't," Sora said softly, touching her hand. She looked up at him then, and leaned up and kisse his full on the lips. Sora pressed back against her, and smiled inside. I guess I'm just lucky...

Riku closed his eyes and thought hard. "Where are you?"
"...I don't know."
"You can talk to me!"
"Barely. I'm weak..."
"Please, tell me where you are."
"It's a small cave, with drawings on it. Please hurry. I'm slipping away..."
Riku's eyes snapped open realizing he knew exactly where she was, and she was closer than he could've ever imagined.
