I guess the first chapter didn't impress you guys, but both Jessica and I need inspiration from you guys so we'll write better chapters! So PLEASE review! Thank you!


Kairi woke up out of her unconsciousness, but kept her eyes shut. But when she heard faint whimpering sounds coming near her, she opened her eyes slightly until she could see a figure in front of her. She became confused and began to ask herself questions, What is this place? Why am I here? Where's Sora? Where's Riku? The confused girl began to calm down once a hand was placed on her forehead. The figures hand began rubbing her forehead gently, making Kairi feel comforted, making her not really caring who was making her feel this way.

The red head could feel the presence of the figure coming close to her, "K-Kairi…" She wanted to open her eyes and see who it was, but her eyes wouldn't let her. The figure began to caress her cheek, and kissed the side of her cheek. Kairi began to become uncomfortable and shot her eyes open, and noticed the figure was Sora.

The brunette was too close to her, and Kairi quickly sat up, "S-Sora!? What are you doing!?"

Sora was staring at her with total shock and stuttered, "K-Kairi!!" The red head became very nervous, so did the brunette, and they both bashed heads. That made Sora stumble to the floor, and Kairi fell back onto the bed.

The embarrassed boy looked up to Kairi, and began to rub his head to ease the pain. "K-Kairi, y-you're ok…?"

Kairi glared at the boy, "O-Of course I'm okay!!! B-but what's wrong with you!?"

"N-nothing," Sora tried to even out his voice, "Nothing's wrong with me…" He looked at Kairi with a smile, but that just made Kairi angrier.

"What do you mean 'nothing's wrong with you'!? Y-you," the girl was too stuttered to finish her sentence, but tried again, "Y-you, you kissed me!"

"What's going on in here?"

The two embarrassed kids looked up to the angered teen, which was their best friend, Riku. The silver haired teen glared at the two, but then gave his attention to Kairi.

"Kairi? You ok?" He walked over to her almost stepping on Sora, and smiled, "You look better, that's good."

Kairi became confused once again and looked up to the older boy, "Of course I'm okay, and why are you all asking me that question?" The other two looked at her with smiles; Kairi just stared at them with a questioned look. "Why are you guys smiling at me? Tell me what happened!"

Riku patted her head, "Don't worry, it was nothing. You just fainted when you found out that your dads heart stopped."

Kairi's expression changed to a saddened expression, "Oh ya…that…" She really didn't care for her dad; the two never really had a relationship together. But it was strange of her to be sad, and depressed like this. She never felt this way for her dad, never in her whole life.

Riku patted her head once again, "Well then, your mom is a little sad about the incident, so you wanna go cheer her up?"

The girl sighed and looked to the floor, "Sure…"


Loud and obnoxious sobs came from behind the door, and Riku opened it, trying not to make any sound. And there her mother was, crying away, not giving a care of anything else in the world. Her mother, Mrs. Sandoval must've heard them come in, "K-Kairi..? You're okay?" Her mother then looked away, "B-But your father's not going to be alright…"

The other two stepped up in front of Kairi and began to ask her mother questions. "W-What's wrong with him, what happened?" Sora kept asking her these questions over and over and over, and she finally answered.

Kairi's mother let out another obnoxious sob, "He's going to die! There's nothing they can do to fix the problem!" She fell to her knees, and began crying louder.

Riku stared at Kairi's mother with pity, "Mrs. Sandoval, what problem?"

Mrs. Sandoval stared at the three kids with widely opened eyes, "H-he's going to turn into a heartless!!! And he can never come back, ever, EVER!!!" Instead of sobbing and crying, it sounded more like the old woman was screaming.

The red head rolled her eyes; her mother was such a pain at times. There was no reason to cry; well that's what Kairi thought. Her father deserved to turn into a heartless, for what he always did to her when she was a child. He always tortured her when she was younger; she has always thought that he should be thrown in the everlasting, burning flames of hell, and burn for ever. But look where he is now, he's still alive and he will always be alive. But since he's a heartless, it'll still be like being dead, but still being alive. Telling herself this, Kairi became a little confused of her own words.

Kairi watched the other two back up, for they didn't want to get deaf from all the old woman's screaming. Riku looked at the others, "We sh-should…get out of here and give your mom some space…!" He grinned at them, and they all agreed.

They all began running out the door, but Sora stayed behind, "Mrs. Sandoval, we'll be leaving now, please let us know if you need any help, ok?" The brunette waited for the sobbing wreck to answer, but kept on screaming, 'WHY???? WHY?????'. Sora got a little scared, and ran after the other two, "Hey, wait up!!!"


The three friends had signed out of the hospital, and were walking back to their houses. They all waved goodbye to each other, and went separate ways. But Riku paused in his path, and ran to back to where they all said goodbye. He looked from left to right, Sora was going to the right side, and Kairi was going to the left side. The silver haired teen paid no mind to the other boy, and began running towards Kairi. "Hey, wait up Kairi!!!"

"Huh?" The girl looked behind her, and blinked. All she could see was the color black, she blinked again, "Am I blind!?" Riku gave a surprised look, and stepped back. "Oh heh-heh," Kairi smiled, "Hi Riku…"

"H-hey," he remembered what he was supposed to be telling her, and stared seriously at her. Kairi stared up, and Riku let his eyes gaze into hers.

This made Kairi uncomfortable; Do both Riku and Sora like me? This is Not the time for boys to like me right now! The girl looked away from Riku and blushed, "R-Riku, d-did you want to tell me something?" She repeated over and over in her head, Please don't ask me out, please don't ask me out. Not the time for boys to like me right now!

The older boy came down to the younger girl's height, "K-Kairi…"

The red head gasped and looked up to him, her face burning like hell. Please, no! We're friends, we're friends! We're not supposed to be doing this! She felt his hand grab onto her shoulder, she gulped and began to shake.

"Kairi, don't you care if your dad is…well you know…"

The red head felt her knees fall, but she stood her height. God, you're stupid Kairi, why would two major hot guys like you? She laughed nervously and faced to Riku, "Oh sorry, what was the question again?"

The boy continued looking down to her, "Don't you care that your dad is turning into…a…heartless?"

Everything about her father, turning into a heartless, and how he tortured her when she was little, all flooded back into her mind. She came back to 'depressed' mode and looked away. It was true though, she never told her two best friends about her father. They just knew she didn't have a strong relationship with him. She never wanted to tell them, and she never wanted them to know, but maybe now was the time for them to know.

"Uhhh, Kairi? You there?"

Kairi was snapped out of her thinking by a waving hand in front of her face. She almost fell backwards but stood back up, "Are you trying to give me a heart-attack!?" She glared daggers at Riku, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

He sweat-dropped and gave Kairi an innocent look, "S-sorry, it's just that you were really spaced out, so I thought I should've done something."

Instead of Kairi's cell phone buzzing, it was her hand watch beeping. She rolled her eyes, "Sorry Riku, I'm gonna have to talk to you later. I'm supposed to be at singing practice now…" Not letting Riku say goodbye, she ran, ran as fast as she could. For she didn't want Riku following her, not wanting to answer the question.


It was finally the last day of school, and Kairi was happy, no more homework, no more tests, which means no more studying! She felt so relieved, she was also happy because Sora asked Kairi to go to the movies with him, which of course she said yes. Kairi did know Sora had a crush on her ever since they were kids, but she didn't expect him to kiss her that day she found out about her dad. And plus, Kairi has a crush on Sora too; maybe it was ok for the brunette to kiss her that day. But for some reason, she was shocked. But what was going to happen at the movies? Is he going to do cheesy pick up lines or cheesy moves? The red head began to become nervous.

Kairi sighed, Oh my god Kairi, you're thinking too much. You and Sora are going to be just fine, just fine. "Yeah you're right; we're going to be just fine…"

She didn't notice that she was talking to herself until she heard a familiar voice, "Yeah, Kairi you're going to be just fine aren't chya?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to be just fine," Her eyes opened widely and she looked around for the voice, "Who's there?"

She jumped back once she saw someone jump out of the trees, and landed right in front of her. Kairi almost fell over, and sweat dropped, "A-Axel…"

Axel grinned and walked closer to his younger sibling, "So Kairi, what do you mean you're going to be just fine?" He examined Kairi's expressions, and of course she was blushing. "What? A boy ask you out or something?"

Kairi glared at her older brother and kicked his shin, "Why do you wanna know? You stalker…"

Axel started jumping around because of his hurt shin, "Y-you didn't have to come and kick me you little bitch!"

The younger red head laughed at seeing her brother jumping around like an idiot. Well, he already is an idiot. Axel wasn't really paying attention to her anymore, so she walked away. Where's Sora? He should've been here by now to pick me up…Boys are such a pain at times.

She stood by the school walls, waiting for Sora. C'mon Sora! You know I'm not a patient person; after all, I am an Aries. The impatient girl walked around, but stayed in the area where she was supposed to meet Sora. Almost thirty minutes have past, and Kairi was surprised she would wait for him that long. She sighed and decided she should just forget about him and start walking home.


Once Kairi got close to her house, she noticed there was a moving truck right next door to her house. She ran up to the front of her house, and examined the people moving in next door. There were a couple of people helping move stuff into their house, and a boy with spiky blonde hair. He looked almost exactly like Sora, but the hair was just spiked differently. The boy must've noticed Kairi was staring at him, and smiled at her. She blushed, how come so many guys are flirting with me? But of course, Kairi would always jump to conclusions.

The boy ran up to her and kept on smiling, "Hey!"

Kairi jumped at his first impression and tried smiling back, "Umm…Hey…"

The blonde scratched the back of his head, "So, uhh, you're Kairi right? That's a pretty name," the red head gave him a questioning look wondering how he knew her name. "Well if you're wondering, my name's Roxas."

Kairi stuttered not knowing what to say, "Th-that's a nice name too…" She began to hit herself in the head, You idiot, why'd you say that? She looked back up, and looked behind Roxas, noticing Sora running towards the two.

Roxas looked behind him and smiled at the brunette, "Hey Sora, long time no see!"

Still being confused she looked at him again, "Wait a sec, Roxas you know him?"

"Sure do, he use to live next to me before he moved away." The blonde looked back at Kairi, "You don't remember?"

The red head didn't think it would be polite to be going to the movies and leaving a new neighbor here, "I-I guess I don't remember, well I'll leave you two alone, and do something else."

Sora looked at Kairi disappointedly, "Kairi, I thought we were going to go to the movies together…" He pouted and stuck out his lips, making him look like a whining puppy.

Kairi giggled, "No it's fine Sora. I think it'd be best if you stayed with our new neighbor, and show him around."

Sora came back to his normal expression and agreed. He came up to Kairi and gave her a hug, "Well, I guess I'll see you later then…" Kairi smiled, making Sora want to do something more than just a hug. He loved her smile, it was so beautiful and he'd never seen anyone else have a smile like hers.

The red head became nervous, why wasn't Sora breaking the hug? "S-Sora?" She tried to make him come back to his senses, but it only helped a little bit.

The brunette came down to her and kissed her cheek and ran over to Roxas, "Bye Kairi!" Kairi blushed, Sora kissed me again!? I should've broken the hug faster…But I guess a kiss on the cheek isn't that bad. She shook her head; of course a kiss on the cheek isn't bad..! She then smiled back at them, and waved goodbye.


K, well again, I've added many diffrent things to this story, and again my friend got mad at me for some of the parts. Kairi and Sora weren't supposed to kiss, but this story's genre is romance/action!!! So I needed to put something in there that had romance! And a kiss on the cheek isn't that bad! But please REVIEW!!! Thank you
