Chapter Four:
_
"Aha. Part one of the plan is working!"
"Dude. We never had a plan. This is just some move Roxas did…"
"Then Roxas must have a plan."
"You kidding? That kid never has a plan! He's just plain stupid so he can be friends with everyone!"
Two shadows were arguing loudly in the dark embrace of the streets in Twilight Town.
"Don't call him stupid! He was smart enough to… well… to…"
"Tell me what then?"
"… I forgot."
"20 questions, did you say?" I asked, as we walked back from the bus stop. "Well, I'm ready for question one then."
He frowned and thought about one.
Let's see… Favourite colour? It doesn't make sense, but it's a start…
"Well… err… what's your favourite colour?"
Now it was my turn to think. "I'd say… that's rather hard… because I can appreciate every colour… unless they are neon colours… but… I think I like blue the most."
"What shade?"
I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. "Is that question two?"
He laughed. "No, that's still part of the first question." Too bad m'dam! I'm not going to waste my remaining nineteen questions.
"Every shade." And I love your eye colour the most.
"Ah, dude, just… just buzz off!"
Someone was thrown out of the shadows. "Psh, are you the one saying that?"
It was a tall guy with long, spiky red hair. His green eyes were staring furiously into the shadows he had been thrown out from, crossing his arms. He waited for an answer.
"Yes, I am! I can't believe I agreed on helping you with this."
"You're Roxas's friend too!"
"Axel, I can't believe I agreed on the part where your name stood with bold, black letters! You're such a jerk."
"Well, Mr. Know-it-all, for your information, I'm only doing this with an idiot like you because I don't like Roxas being sad about some bitch."
"It's not some bitch, you moron! It's Naminé we're talking about!"
Axel snorted loudly. "Anyhow. I like that redhead better with him."
"Just because you're a redhead too, stupid red-loving hotheaded freak!"
"And what exactly is wrong with that?"
She seemed to think about it. "Err… what do I think is most important in friendship…?"
"U-huh." Yes, I was happy about this question. It did say something. Unlike the colour question. I'd hoped she would tell me more about the shades. But… she was just as mysterious as usual.
"Why would you want to know that?"
I shot a glance at her. "Don't you know?"
She crossed her arms and stopped. "Don't I know what?"
That if you know what someone thinks about the most important thing in a friendship tells something about his… or in this case, her personality? I thought that was very common… and not original. It did say something, but everyone knew exactly what to say.
Or, that was what I thought.
But it was very odd… because before I could open my mouth to tell her what she didn't seem to know she opened her mouth and said one thing.
"Trust."
"Err… not something like being understanding to each other or something?"
That was what everybody said.
I should've known.
Kairi was not 'everybody'. She was… well… Kairi.
I was just way too curious. And… I sighed as I realized… fascinated.
"No… because you asked for one thing, and then I had to choose, right?"
I turned now completely because she hadn't moved an inch. "Yes… but out of what things?"
"That makes question three now, my friend. " She laughed before she turned serious.
"I think you need the ability to understand each other, like you said, and I think you need the power to let go too. The ability to laugh with each other, and to help each other in times of need. Loyalty too…"
Wow. I realized my mouth hung open and I quickly closed it. Tightly, this time.
Naminé and I didn't understand each other, because we both hided from each other. We couldn't let things go and we could definitely not laugh together.
And in these times, when we needed each other… we didn't help each other.
And… I was loyal… was I? Naminé too… or was I just so stupid that I didn't see that we were both in love with others.
Nah. No way.
But…
No. Don't even think about it… Don't…. Don't…
Kairi did understand me… and I could understand her too… once she explained.
Kairi could obviously let go of things if she was close with my brother.
I could laugh with her, since she was very sweet and funny.
And I knew I would help her if she needed me. And I was pretty sure she would do the same for me.
She was loyal.
If she was friends with Roxas… you had to be loyal.
Else, she would've been running away, screaming.
She blushed and looked away as she started walking again. "So, if you have to choose one thing out of these things, it all comes back to trust. You can only do those things if you trust someone."
Yes. She was right.
Naminé and I had lost our trust in each other.
"Say Sora? Let's keep it to this, okay? You're getting upset…" Kairi said, her eyes concerned.
I shook my head. "I'm not upse-"
Suddendly I realized I hadn't said a lot of things. "How do you know I'm-"
Kairi smiled gently. "Your eyes. They say everything you don't."
She laughed at my surprised face. "Seriously Sora… Everyone can tell."
I smiled one last time at her as we parted ways, having no clue how I was going to face Naminé today.
Because she wasn't able to see what my eyes told her.
"Zexion!"
"No."
"Zexion!"
"What did I tell you? NO!"
"There she is… all alone!"
"Who?"
"That redhead."
"Oh. C'mon then! We told Naminé Sora was walking together with her… Her jealousy should be enough to make it a hard time for Sora."
"Yeah! And then-"
"Yes, yes, Axel. I read the script, you idiot!"
I sighed as I saw Axel running towards the house on super speed.
Man, I could so kill him sometimes.
But, on the other hand, he was just the person for this job.
You didn't need brains for this…
This was all logical.
Put blonde to blond, and put red to brown…
And then you can have a day off.
Here it is, finally!
Chapter Four is here, and I hope you like the two new characters in this story.
Don't think to much about them, they're not going to interfere much into the story.
Although… that is what you think ;)
Read and review if you like!
