Author's Note: Sorry for the lack of updating! I've been very busy with school lately. Luckily it's almost out! Anyway, the story is going to have Namine flashbacks to show more of why that broke her heart so much. Just be patient and all answers will come... I hope.

Chapter 3: Hurting

Sora walked slowly home from school. He had the worst feeling that he broke that girl's heart. But he didn't even know her! He shouldn't feel upset because he didn't know her. Right?

Sora sighed deeply. He didn't know what to do. She was obviously heartbroken, but what could he do? He didn't know her!

"Sora!" Sora turned around to see Riku walking his way. Sora waited for his best friend.

"You seem upset. What's up?" Riku asked.

"Well, there was this new girl at school with blonde hair. She asked me if I missed her, and I asked her if I should've known her. She started crying." Sora said.

"Oh, the new girl? She was kind of cute. Too... light to be my type though. So, how do you know her?" Riku asked.

"I don't know her!" Sora exclaimed.

"Then why did she think that you did?" Riku asked, confused.

"I don't know! She just said that she finally got her freedom, only to come home to this." Sora said.

"So she lived somewhere where she didn't have freedom... wait, she said come home? You mean that this girl lived here before?" Riku asked, totally confused at this point.

"I guess." Sora mumbled.

"Well, I'm going to Kairi's house to see if she's feeling better. You coming?" Riku asked.

"Yeah, of course." Sora said, walking to Kairi's house with his best friend. Little did he know, but nearby, a young blonde haired girl was watching the scene, crying.

Namine's POV

I cried as I watched Sora. I miss him, yet he has no idea who I am. Letting the tears slip made me feel better. But watching him talk about Kairi hurt me. He must've had a crush on her. Did he know how much trouble I went through to reach him?

Flashback (Normal POV)

"Well, all in all, for progress, Axel and his daughter are going to leave next week to come here. That's all the progress we have, so I guess you can all go early." Marluxia said, dismissing the meeting. Larxene went to check on her daughter, who had been guarded by one of their servants.

"Namine." Larxene said.

"Yes?" Namine asked, looking up at her mother.

"Axel and his daughter will be hear next week." Larxene informed.

"Okay. When are we going home?" Namine asked eagerly.

"This is home." Larxene said.

"But... home is where your heart is! And my heart's not here..." Namine said softly.

"Well, it will be eventually. There is someone I want you to meet though. Namine, meet our youngest member, Roxas." Larxene said, stepping aside to show a boy with blonde, spiky hair.

Namine froze. He looked like Sora! He had the same blue eyes and had spiky hair... wrong color and style, but still spiky hair.

"Um... hi?" Namine said hesitantly.

"Hey." Roxas said, quietly.

Namine didn't like him. He was like Sora. But he was quieter. Way quieter. She liked it when Sora rambled on and on about stupid stuff. She thought it was cute. Roxas, however, was quiet and reserved. He seemed like the kind that would talk about serious stuff and make serious decisions. Sora wasn't like that.

"Well, you two have fun!" Larxene said, before leaving.

End Flashback (Namine POV)

I never had fun around Roxas. I only had fun around Sora. I missed him.

Yet... I come home to find that he doesn't know who I am. How was I supposed to make him remember? I guessed... I had to just accept it and go back. I will find love, but sadly, it won't be who I want it to be.

Kairi's POV

I walked slowly down the hall into my bedroom. I sat down on one of the beds, looking at the sketchbook sitting on my roommate's bed. I had moved in earlier with my father, Axel. I wish I could've stayed at home though. That's where Sora was. Riku was there too, but I was more sad that I was away from Sora. Why, you ask? Because I love him, that's why.

I looked up suddenly as my roommate walked into our room. She sat on her bed and looked down. I saw tears drip off her face.

"What's wrong?" I asked, walking over to her.

"I don't want to talk about it anyway. I'm Namine, who are you?" Namine asked.

"Oh, I'm Kairi. Nice to meet you!" I said, reaching out a hand with a smile. She looked up and sent me a terrifying glare.

"You're Kairi?" She growled.

"Yes?" I said, confused.

"So... you're that girl that Sora likes..." Namine said slowly.

"Well, we're friends. How do you know Sora?" I asked.

"I heard the organization talking about him... they had plans... to hurt him. I felt sorry for him, and I turned it into anger. Sorry I lashed out at you." Namine apologized.

"It's okay." I said.

Little did I know how badly she was hurting inside...
