Riku's POV:
I just don't understand. Kairi's been so different. Ever since we saved Sora and defeated the Organization. She's just been so out of it. That robe's still hanging over my desk chair. The Organization robe I wore in Ansem's body. It still haunts me. The memories of the darkness overcome my mind and I can't help but wonder what might've happened if I stayed in the Organization.
Kairi's so different now. Her eyes lack the sparkle they once had. She doesn't look at me the same. Before, she would've flashed a smile. Her eyes would've shown interest. She would kiss me gently after we hugged. She barely looks at me anymore. I don't know why. She stares off into blank space, thought painted on her face. But, what's she thinking? She doesn't answer my questions. She just tells me everything's okay when I know for a fact that something's bothering her.
She's not the same girl I fell in love with so long ago on this very island. She's a different person. She barely even looks the same. She's transformed so much from fourteen to fifteen. Her raspberry hair is now a beautiful cherry color and her body's filled out so much. She's matured mentally and emotionally. So much, I have no idea what she's thinking anymore. When she kisses me, her emotion is gone. There's no passion. She spends her time in that damned secret spot where she and Sora used to play so much in previous years.
Sora's always held her heart. I suppose this was inevitable from the start. I always knew he'd get her back. I need to get it from her, though. She needs to tell me she doesn't love me. Because, even though she says she does, it's an obvious lie.
It's times like these, I wish I were still fighting the Organization. Losing my identity and my heart would be a lot easier to do then leaving Kairi.
