Oh hi there. Yeah, what has it been, like a month? Argh, life is super busy and I can't find time to write! Please excuse this SUPER LATE UPDATE. And I had a really hard time writing this, so the chapter may not be as good as I wanted it to be. But at least I wrote it. Woohoo! Italics mean memory. :D

Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts does not belong to me.

"Sora, are you sure I can have it?" the auburn haired girl asked, holding up the ice cream bar. Said boy turned around and grinned, hands behind his head.

"Course you can Kairi! Afterall, you still seem hungry," Sora laughed as Kairi lowered her head and suddenly found her shoes very interesting. He turned around and walked up the hill, the sun slowly setting in the background, splashing the sky with warm colors.

"Thanks Sora. Again." She mumbled, taking tiny steps towards him. He put on a goofy grin, his chocolate brown hair slightly moving with the breeze. She couldn't help but give him a warm smile, as she looked at the setting sun.

"Uh Kairi... not be rude or anything, but the icecream, well uh..it's uh, dripping." Sora stammered as a small drop of ice cream rolled down her hand. Kairi turned her head towards her hand gasped. She quickly went to the task of licking the ice cream, making sure it didn't drip anymore. Sora laughed and searched his pockets. Maybe he had a tissue or something. She looked like she needed one.

His small hand finally landed on a small piece of fabric. Sora smiled and immediatly and pulled it out. Out came a light pink hankerchief, stained on the side with a red mark, it's frilly edges worn. He stared at it for a second and smiled. This was the hankerchief was given to him by Kairi when he had scraped his knee while jumping off the swings. He had forgetten that if was even in his pocket!

"Here ya go Kairi!" He cheerfully handed the piece of fabric to her. She gratefully took it and tried to wipe her hand, which was extremely sticky from the dripping ice cream. He laughed and studied her face. Her tears had already dried and she was back to her old self. Sora loved looking at her eyes. Kind of blue, with a hint of purple. He wasn't really sure, since he only knew the basic colors. But even if he knew some more descriptive colors, he still wouldn't be able to describe them. They were too...pretty? He suddenly blushed and looked down at his shoes.

"You okay, Sora?" Kairi asked, finally able to lick down her ice cream to a non dripping level. Sora looked up and his eyes met with her curiouse ones. He felt his face grow hotter as he averted his eyes to something else. Oh, those were some pretty flowers over there...

"Um... hey Kairi, want to pick some flowers?" Sora said, pointing a finger at some colorful daisies on the side of the hill. Kairi turned her head to stare at them. They sure were pretty, blooming in all kinds of different colors. She smiled and nodded, already taking his hand and dragging him to the flower bed.

"They're so pretty Sora!" She exclaimed excitetly, bending down and excamining them. The colors were organized like a rainbow, having all the exact colors. She quickly remembered her ice cream in her hand, which was melting quickly, again.

"Aw, I can't pick any flowers while I'm eating..." She said, feeling dissapointed. Sora didn't want her to be sad. He wanted her to be happy and cheerful, like she always was. So he bend down a picked a bright red daisy.

"I'll pick some for you. You just finish that ice cream." He stated, already picking a yellow one. Kairi sat there for a few moments and smiled.

"Oh man, look at the time! Mom's gonna scream when she finds out I've been out this late!" Sora yelped, quickly dusting off the dirt from his clothes. Kairi understood his emegency and immediatly rose, giving him a look of concern. He turned his head towards her and smile reassuringly. She suddenly felt warm inside and gave him a hug.

Sora blushed as he hesitentley wrapped his arms around her small form. Not only was her hair the color of strawberries, it also smelled like them too! He breathed in the nice fragrant scent as the grip Kairi had on him tightened. For some reason, Kairi always felt warm, bubbly and sweet inside when she was with Sora. It was different from the cool tropical breeze feeling she got with Riku, the friendly bumble bee feeling she got with Roxas, or the soft mint bubblegum feeling she got with Namine. No, this feeling was... This feeling was...

"Sorry Kairi, I-I have to go..." Sora's voice squeked, his voice a little too high then he wanted it to be. Kairi immediatly let go and blushed. Great, now Sora was even later!

"Um, err, here Sora, have my popsicle stick. It was yummy. Thanks for today too..." She said, not really wanting to say goodbye. Sora smiled and squeezed her hand and took the popsicle stick.

"No, thank you Kairi! Oh and could you not mention this to Riku or Roxas? They'll think I have cooties..." He showed his pearly white teeth.

Turning around he waved a goodbye and ran off into the distance, his figure making a shadow in the now almost setted sun. Kairi watched as she suddenly saw Roxas run up to him, and hug him. His eyes were puffy, and some boogers were running down his nose.

Even from a distance, she could here Roxas shouting," SOWA! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I WAS AFRAID YOU GOT EATEN BY A CROCO...CROCO... WHATEVER YOU CALL THOSE THINGIES!". Sora just laughed and walked down the road, Roxas now chasing after him.

Kairi groaned. Her head felt like it weighted 100 pounds. Her stomach also felt tight and clenched, like it was full of knots that couldn't be untangled. She sighed and slowly made her way towards the bathroom. A shower would be nice right about now. She quickly grabbed her school uniform and headed into the bathroom, not bothering to lock the door.

'Woah...' She thought as she looked in the bathroom mirror. She looked ten times worse then what she actually felt. Her hair was all over the place, her eyes were sort of puffy, and just ugh! Not really caring about her appearance anymore, Kairi quickly turned the hot water knob and slowly took of her clothes.

After letting her bones and muscles soak in the warm temperature, Kairi sighed in content. Remembering she had school, she quickly applied shampoo and body soap. While drying off, she looked in the mirror. She looked much better than before. Kairi smiled and laughed.

She suddenly touched her lips. The feeling when Sora had kissed her... what was that feeling? It was different from when Roxas kissed her. It was strange.

Kairi groaned. Thinking about this stuff was definitely not a good start to a day. So she quickly slipped on her uniform and skipped downstairs, smiling at her mother who was on the table drinking coffee.

"Good mornin' Mom" Kairi smiled warmly at her mother and pulled out a chair. Her mother smiled back and placed down her mug.

"I see you're feeling better Kairi! Are you sure you can go to school today? Don't stress yourself too much honey." Her mom said, placing some eggs and toast in front of her. Kairi smiled reassuringly and chowed down.

"I want to punch Seifer in the face!" Namine yelled, punching the air. Kairi half laughed as she pulled Namine's hand down. She had heard from Sora what had happened. Of course, she didn't know about...the thing. Kairi blushed as they headed to the school's gates. Suddenly, Roxas came running up to them, panting for breathe. Namine stopped and patted him on the back.

"You okay, Roxas?" She asked as his breathing became stable. He slowly nodded his head and turned to Kairi.

"Can I talk to you for a sec, Kairi?" He asked, avoiding her gaze. She raised a brow and slowly nodded. They trotted to a nearby tree, neither of them speaking a word.

Roxas came to a stop, making Kairi bump into him. She rubbed her nose as he turned around. She finally got a good look at his eyes. But something was wrong. They seemed so...so sad. Kairi tilted her head to the side, concerned. Roxas took in a shaky breathe and slowly kissed her, slightly pressing his lips against hers. Of course, Kairi kissed back but... something felt strange. It felt like something was missing.

Roxas smiled a little against her lips and parted. Kairi looked around, rather confused. What in the world was missing?

"It's love Kairi. Love." He said softly, slowly caressing her cheek. Kairi shivered under his touch, but her heart wasn't beating super fast. She didn't feel this love.

"I'm confused Roxas..." She whispered, slowly taking his hand in hers. He smiled his sunny smiled and flicked her forehead.

"Gosh, so dense Kairi, just like Sora!" He laughed, placing his hands behind his head. Kairi blushed and kicked a little pebble on the ground.

"I know you like someone else Kairi." He said, slowly walking around the tree. She looked up with a confused expression. Now, she was really lost. No idea what he was talking about.

"N-no I don't!" She insisted, her face suddenly stained with a dark red blush for some odd reason. Roxas laughed as he made a full rotation around the tree. Him laughing made her blush even more, if that was possible.

"So Kairi...I think it would be best if we broke up." He whispered. Kairi looked at him blankly. She didn't love anyone else... Or did she?

"After all, you're the girl that he likes." Roxas looked up at the sky and smiled. Today was a nice sunny day. Maybe he should go biking. Or fly a kite. Maybe take a little dip at the beach. Anything to get his mind off what he just did.

"Who? A name, please." She whispered, looking down at her shoes. Roxas smiled and did a hand motion signaling that his lips were sealed.

"Well, I'll see you later, Kairi. Bye!" He shouted, running off to the school gates.

Kairi stared after his form for a few minutes, and slowly fell to her knees. It was a bit windy, and the grass below her knees attempted to tickle her. Roxas's words started sinking in as she felt a drop of water fall to her clenched fists. How did Roxas know she liked someone else? Who was this person?

She hastily wiped her tears away from her eyes, and sniffled a little. Gee, what a sad way to end a very beautiful day.

Kairi sighed. She didn't know how long she had stayed there. But she knew it was a long time, for the sun was setting, the sky warmly red, orange, yellow, and every other color. Now that she thought about it, she felt really tired. Extremely tired.

She was debating whether or not she should finally get up and go home or stay a little longer. She was going to burst into tears at any second anyway. Might as well do it at home then out here where everyone could see her.

"Oh wow, Kairi is that you?" A voice behind her said. Kairi would have turned around, but she felt tense all over. So she gave a quick nod, ignoring the pain of her neck. The person slowly trotted over to her, making a soft sound as their shoes stepped on the grass. Stopping right in front of her, they slowly crouched. Kairi gasped as she her eyes met with a pair of cerulean ones. Sora titled his head to the side, raising a brow.

"You didn't go home yet?" He asked, plopping down next to her. She shook her head as she hugged her knees. He was silent for a few seconds as he stared up at the sky. It was nice, just having a peaceful day, school or not. A genuine smile made its way to his face as he slowly closed his eyes. Kairi watched as he sighed happily and layed down on the grass.

"You look rather sad. Did something happen?" He asked, propping his head against his elbow. Kairi looked down at her knees and hugged them tighter.

"Um...," Kairi started, fumbling with her fingers. She knew Sora wouldn't force it out of her but she felt like he deserved to know. It was either she told him, or Roxas. She took a deep breath and continued. " Roxas... he broke up with me."

"WHAT!" Sora yelled, instantly getting to his feet. Kairi looked up, surprised. Sora's face was filled with anger as he clenched his fist. Why was he so angry? It's not like Roxas hurt her or anything. Well, not physically.

"How could that idiot break up with you? And make you cry to add to it!" He yelled. "I'm going to beat some sense into that guy!"

"No, Sora, stop!" Kairi instantly stood up and grabbed his hand to stop him. She didn't want anyone to get hurt. Sora slowly calmed down, cursing under his breath.

"It's not his fault. Besides, he didn't hurt me. I felt like our relationship was crumbling too. But now I'm happy. See?" She lied through her teeth as she showed him a forced smile. Sora slowly turned around and looked straight into her eyes. Kairi felt her smile slowly slip off her face as she buried her face into his shirt and started crying.

Sora slowly wrapped his arms around her. He rocked back and forth as she continued to weep. Kairi didn't know why but it felt so good being near Sora. It was that feeling. What was that feeling? It certainly wasn't the friendly feeling anymore.

He slowly started humming a soft tone, immediately easing her pain. She slowly loosen the grip on his shirt.

"Feel better?" He whispered into her ear. She smiled a real warm smile and nodded.

They held each others hands as they walked towards Kairi's house. She really liked holding his hand. It was fun, and gave her that feeling, like always.

"Thanks for today Sora." Kairi said, smiling happily as they reached her house. Sora smiled back and let go of her hand. Her hand immediatly reached for his hand again. He jumped in surprise as her fingers tangled with his own. She blushed and look to the side of the road. No idea why she did that.

"Er...Kairi I have to go..." He said, taking his hand back. Kairi's expression sadden as he slowly waved a goodbye and started walking away. No. She didn't want him to go.

"SORA!" She shouted, running towards him. He turned around and her lips came crashing into his as she hugged him tightly. His eye's widen is surprise as Kairi pressed closer to him. He slowly started kissing back as her kiss got deeper. Her emotions were overflowing as Sora placed his hands on her waist and pulled her closer.

They eventually pulled back, out of breath. Kairi blushed and averted her eyes as Sora slowly inhaled. That was very unexpected. Very.

"I, uh, um... bye!" She shouted and ran to her house. Fumbling with her keys as she reached the door, she quickly inserted the key inside the keyhole and unlocked the door. She ran inside and quickly closed the door. Sliding to the floor, Kairi put her hands towards her cheeks and inhaled. So it was pretty much a fact now.

She was in love with Sora.
