Chapter 6.……………………………...

Man, I wish Kairi didn't have to bring it up just now! But she probably felt bad for holding it in for so long, well long as in her language. We were only together for about, oh……… it really was long for a secret! 2 days! And Sora didn't even know. I feel really sorry for him. I wonder how he's doing.

Back to the world, out of Riku's thoughts:

" Riku. Riku! Wake up! We need to get under a table or something now!" Kairi finally woke him up.

" Huh?" He said with one eye still closed, " What's happening?"

" EARTH QUAKE!" At that moment, he stood up, Kairi up with him. But as soon as they did, Riku's book shelf fell onto Kairi. She lay motionless, with only a small smile and light breathing.

"Kairi! NOOO!" Riku's mind was racing. He knew that if he would've woken up earlier, she could've gotten under a table, into her safety. All he had to do was to make sure she will be safe. He lifted the shelf up and hid Kairi under his bed side table and covered her in a blanket so she won't breathe in any dust. Riku stood up under the door frame for his safety.

Finally. It passed. Riku got a small cut from something that fell. But what about Kairi? He went over, and as fast as he could blink, pick her up and ran to the hospital. At the hospital, a doctor took Kairi to the ER ( emergency room).

"Riku? Am I right?" the doctor asked.

"Yeah. Is she alright?"

"I'm sorry but she twisted her arm and fractured her back. And the collision she took to the ground has caused amnesia. But we have proved she can get her memories back if you can some how re-enact to her of the most important thing that happened to her. Or she can remember her most loved person too."

"Ok," Riku smiled dumbly, "Can she return now?"

"Yes, but take it easy on her."

"OK!" Riku went into the room to get Kairi. Her right arm was in a cast and her body was all in the same kind of tape they use for a cast, but it wasn't one. He bent over to wipe the hair off her face when he suddenly noticed her cheek was stitched up from a big cut.

Riku lifted her into a wheel chair. He decided not to keep anymore secrets from Sora, so he went on the elevator to leave the hospital. When Riku was about to leave, he bumped into Sora.

Kairi woke up at that time too. " Sora, who is this person?" she said referring to Riku. How awkward it was for her to remember Sora but not Riku. They all continued to stare at her.

She couldn't do anything but just to try to build up on her life again. Since she only knew Sora for now, he took charge.

"Kairi, this is Riku."

Kairi took her attention from Sora to Riku. "It's nice to meet you Riku." She was going to stick out her right arm to shake hands, then she noticed the casts she had everywhere. "Did anything happen to me?"

This time, Riku answered. But before he said anything, he looked at Sora as if to ask if he should really tell her. Sora nodded. "Kairi, you were trying to wake me up when there was an earth quake. My book shelf fell on top of you and that's how you got hurt."

She looked up to Sora in disbelief. " It's true. You just left my house to go to his. During the accident you got amnesia."

"Oh, hm," she looked down to the ground, then looked back up at Riku, " Do you mind if Sora takes me to his house?" Riku's heart sort of ached, but he showed no emotion.

" Well, it's up to Sora. Hm? So Sora, whadya say?"

"Fine by me. Let's go Kairi." Her face quickly lit up as if she had a surprise party. Riku handed him the bars and they started to walk off the street, Sora waving bye with a grin on his face.

At Sora's house, he quickly started to work on her memories. His first try was when she poured water from him.

"Tell me Sora, why am I doing this?"

"We're trying to get your memory back."

She started to grow fond to him. "How 'bout we try this." Sora looked dumb founded as Kairi bent over to him. He did know what she was doing, so Sora was ready to take chances for Kairi's sake. But he also felt like he waited for this moment ever since he met her.
