Fruit

Chapter Two- Preparation

Kairi

Inside the gummi ship (which Sora had kept hidden until today), all I could do was stare at Sora in amazement as he maneuvered to their first destination.

"Sora, are you hungry?" I asked, my voice turning extremely hoarse.

"Yeah, when we get to Twilight Town we can have something, why?"

I blushed, "I'm just worried about you and I...I..."

"You already got me something, didn't you?"

I nodded, "Do...do you really want to know? It'll spoil the...uh... surprise."

"Kairi, calm down, I understand somethings that you do better than you know..."

"WHAT? But I..."

"Kairi, nothing's your fault. I understand how you feel right now."

I shuffled uncomfortably. My instincts told me that Sora wouldn't shun me, only make me happy, yet, I couldn't help but be scared.

"Kairi, I've been wanting to share something with you for a while now, and I've saved it special for you."

I glanced up. While continuing to drive through space, Sora reached into his pocket and took out a star-shaped fruit.

"I...but I got one for you..." I reached into my belt pocket, retrieving the fruit I picked before I left.

"Good...now we have two..."

"But...why is that..."

"Remember Roxas and Namine? They'll enjoy their's as much as we shall enjoy ours when we reach Twilight Town."

I gulped. I couldn't believe how easy it was to admit my possession of the fruit to Sora, yet, I knew it would be harder to admit my true feelings to him.
