--Hey I'm back! I'm really glad I got great reviews from great people! Well, as usual…I dedicate this to all of my faithful reviewers! (If ever you're a new reader at my fic, well, I really hope you would be one of those faithful people too!) And by the way, about this chapter, I added some original characters…okay! Here's Chapter 7…--


Chapter 7: Saturday Tactic

Kairi sat on the sofa of her living room. She flipped the channels to every possible station but she really can't find anything interesting to watch! And worse, she didn't even have someone to talk to! She's alone…her dad was on a business trip and her mom went to the groceries with her 3 year-old brother, Kyle. Her mom said that after going to the supermarket, she'll just drop the groceries at home and then go visit a friend.

Isn't there anything exciting to do right now? She checked their wall clock…it's 5:00 in the afternoon. So she thought maybe she could take a walk at the beach, since it wasn't that far at their house. Then after watching the sunset, she wanted to go to the mall.

She took a walk by the sea, inhaling the fresh breeze. She went to the pier…she had always stayed there ever since she was little when she's bored at home. When she reached the pier, she was a bit shocked. Someone was there…and that person looked familiar.

"I didn't know you stay here…" Kairi said as she sat down beside him.

"I've always been here." Riku said.

"What? How come? I always stay here but I've never seen you before."

"That's because you don't look…"

"What do you mean…?"

"I always see you here…the times when you're sad and you cried, the times you're happy, the times you're angry…everything. But you don't notice me."

Kairi can't believe it…Riku has been here before! And he saw the deeper 'KAIRI'…he was REALLY not the one she thought he was…he was…different. (A/N: How many times did I've written that sentence already?)

"Kairi!" Someone called out.

Kairi turned around. She saw a happy girl gesturing her to come over. She came by and saw her best friend, Yuffie. "What are you doing here? I thought you'd run some errands." Kairi asked.

"I just happened to pass by and saw you…so you're alone at that place again just like before!"

"No, I'm with Riku…" she turned to point Riku but nobody's there. Weird. Is he leaving people just like that?

"Did you say…RIKU? The member of the GT6…! Where? WHERE??" Yuffie looked for Riku but she saw nobody and was a bit disappointed.

"I'm with him a while ago…" Kairi's voice trailed off.

"Enough imagination Kairi...! So…I'd better be going!"

"Going already? Why? Where are you going?"

"My childhood friend, Aerith, would be arriving here! So I got to be home…bye!"

Kairi went to the mall, having a great time by herself. She had always enjoyed the mall even if she's alone. She went to Starbucks and bought herself a caramel frappe. When she's about to go out, she bumped into somebody.

"Watch where you're going!" the guy said.

She looked up and saw someone she didn't want and expect to see. What a small world…she thought.

"Kairi!" he recognized her. "Sorry, I didn't know it was you." He apologized.

She just ignored him and then walked away.

"Kairi!" he called out again. She turned around and looked at Sora.

"Are you alone?"

"Why are you asking?" What does he want? I don't want to see him...It still hurts...

"Why are you so harsh at me and all of the members of the GT6!"

That's because I don't want to have feelings with you anymore! I just get hurt! She answered him in her mind.

"And…why do you seem friendly with RIKU?" he asked, stressing the word 'Riku'

Am I feeling jealousy here? "Maybe because Riku is sort of different from you guys…especially from you."

"How could Riku be different?"

"Think about it, Sora." With that, she walked away.

Wow…that's…I don't know…a dull conversation. He really looked cute but his personality doesn't fit me! And…I even think he's jealous! I must be thinking of too many stuff lately…

She sat on one of the benches. She's exhausted and tired…she even wanted to watch a movie but she don't know if they're playing a good movie. Later on, some guy sat at her left and the other at her right. (That means she's in the middle, I think that's pretty obvious, right?)

She stood up to go to another bench…it's better to be safe. But, the guy on her left grabbed her left arm and said, "Hey, beautiful! Where are yah goin'?"

"Go away!" she said bitterly then let goes of herself from the guy's grasp.

"C'mon…! We just want company!" the other guy said.

"Leave me alone, JERKS!" she shouted.

"Who are you calling jerk??" the guy said, and then made a fist to punch Kairi. When he was about to hit Kairi at the face, someone shielded the guy's fist with his hand.

"Don't you know it's not NICE to hurt a girl!" Sora said.

The two guys seem to recognize that Sora's a member of the GT6, so they ran as fast as they could. Kairi was amazed…she didn't expect Sora would protect her. She smiled at herself as she felt 'safe' being with him. But then, she continued walking leaving Sora behind.

"Is that how you repay a person who saved you from 'jerks'!" Sora shouted out so that Kairi could hear.

She rolled her eyes, turned around and walked back to Sora. "Well then, THANK YOU!" she said mockingly.

"It's not sincere…and, that's not the repayment I'm asking…" Sora said.

"You mean, you 'SAVED' me because you want something in return?? I don't think that's sincere too!" Kairi replied.

"Hey! That 'saving part' was SINCERE!"

"And, how could you prove that??"

"Well, I won't risk getting into a fight just because of a 'Harsh Girl' who practically HATES GT6!"

He got a point there…hmm…I'm quite impressed. She thought. "So what do you want?" she asked.

Sora thought for a minute. Then, when he came up with something, he said, "Two words: DATE ME."

Kairi was astonished. "DATE??"

"Well, it's just a friendly date, don't worry. And besides, you owe me one."

I guess I have no choice…but…what if…OH NEVERMIND. She thought.

"Fine…" she said sounding as if she really has no choice.

"If that's the case, c'mon let's go!" Sora said putting his arms to her shoulders.

Kairi let go of his arms and said, "You mean, the date is RIGHT NOW?"

"Yeah…since you're alone and I'm alone, why not?"

Kairi just rolled her eyes and walked with him. She noticed a lot of people looking at him. Is he really that popular…or that…cute? She thought.

They went to watch a movie. And so far, the 'date' went great. Kairi became a LITTLE friendly to him…just for the date to be ENJOYABLE. Then, they went to dinner to a fast food chain. Kairi can't believe Sora could be amazing even though he's a bit arrogant. She admitted he really is fun to be with.


--Whoops! That's the end of Chapter 7! I think it's a bit short! Right? Oh well, just wait for the next chapter okay? The next chapter would be mostly about Sora. You know, about Sora's thoughts and everything. I just thought of it because my last few chapters were mostly about Kairi. Just stay tune! Till here…--
