This story has two points of view in it. It starts with Kairi's P.O.V. and it takes place after their argument. The second part is in Sora's P.O.V. and it takes place after they read the letter.

I started making my plans to prove my worth on the beach. I don't believe Sora and Riku just left me! They might as well be nobodies, since they don't act like they have a heart. I walked around the shore fuming for five minutes, then I started to calm down. It is hard to be mad when you are by the sea. It is so calming…

I was going to go on the quest. I was sick of being left behind. Just because I am a girl doesn't mean I have to be protected. When I find the source of the worlds disappearing, they will finally learn to respect me.

I have been practicing my skills, and I found a really useful one. I could create portals of light! I obviously can't make dark portals because I am a princess of hearts, so I don't have any darkness in my heart, but it is nice to have a form of transportation. I couldn't take the ship, because I have no idea how it works, so my light portal is much more efficient.

I make the portal and decide to go wherever it wants me to go. It doesn't really matter. I just have to go to a world, wait for the bad guy to come, and whack! Bye bye bad guy and hello respect! I was excited by just thinking about it!

I walk in the portal and I am teleported away. I open my eyes and realize that I am at… No, I can't be here. It just brings back bad memories.

The Castle That Never Was.

...

"What?" Riku sounded outraged. I pretty much reacted the same way when I read the message.

We have Kairi. We might return her if you come to…talk to us. We are at The Castle That Never Was, awaiting you, Keyblade Master.

They were dead. I didn't kill them just for fun, and now they are back? This just sucks. I have had too much hardship from that batch of jerks. They took away Kairi, and now they are doing it again.

Riku had that eerie face on. The one that was really calm, but you knew that he was boiling with rage inside. He was probably thinking about Xemnas. I don't want him to go to the darkness again, and I don't think he wants to either, but he might not have a choice if Xemnas messes with his already-weakened heart. I felt sorry for him. I never had to worry about the darkness that much.

Riku turned towards me. "So," he said, "I guess we have to rescue your girlfriend again. I really thought she had a chance against them this time, but…"

He looked towards me with a look full of pity. I got mad then. I wasn't sad that she was captured. I told her to stay here. If she hadn't gone off, we wouldn't have been in this mess. "Let's just get her back, okay? We don't have a choice."

Riku looked at me surprised. "I thought you liked her. You never hesitated to go after her before."

"Well, I don't really like her," I mumbled.

Riku tilted his head to the side. "What did you say? I didn't really hear you."

"I DON'T LIKE HER! SHE IS JUST A SPOILED BRAT THAT DOESN'T DO WHAT SHE IS TOLD!" I looked away from him so he didn't see the tears I shed after I said that.

Riku sighed. "You don't mean that Sora, you are worried about her because she is more than a friend to you, now."

He was right, but I already said the words, and I wasn't going to take them back. Come to think of it, I am really sick of rescuing her. She should stay safe, and not get into trouble.

I looked towards him after I wiped away my tears. "Fine. Let's go."

I hope you liked it! It wasn't much of a cliff-hanger, but there were a lot of emotions. Don't worry, though! Relasionships always get better!
