So enjoy and here's chapter 11.

Chapter 9 – New Start, But Not Too Different.

The birds were chirping away as Kairi walked down the road. She was free, free of that bastard Wakka. And she was going to see here best friend Sora. And it was this that scared her. Why the hell was she excited about seeing him?

She saw Sora nearly every day, at school, home, she had known him since she was born, and at this moment she was excited to see him, at the moment that she was single.

And suddenly the left side of her brain kicked in 'It must be love, love, love' in a singsong voice.

"Oh, shut up," Kairi groaned

Suddenly Kairi turned a corner and she arrived at Jamie Drive. She quickly ran towards Soras House and was about to knock on his door when she stopped

Her hand was stuck in the air with her hand in a fist shape, ready to knock on the door, but she couldn't, she couldn't move a muscle, and why? Because she was nervous.

'Why the hell am I nervous?' she asked herself. She tried to move her hand, but she couldn't.

'What the hell is going on?' Kairi asked her self again

'It must be l…' Her left side started singing again

"Oh, shut up!" Kairi yelled

"Don't mind me," Said a voice, and Kairi looked up to see the one person her head was currently arguing she was in love with

"Oh crap," Kairi muttered before putting on a big smile and said "Hey Sora,"

Sora looked as bad as he had the day Kairi had seen him in the hospital, His arm was in a cast, the scar over his eye looked ok, and yet he was smiling

"Hey, Kairi, what are you doing here?"

"I came to give you these back" Kairi held in her hand a DVD, Sora's iPod and Crown Necklace

'My crown necklace," Sora grabbed it and quickly put it on

"Kairi, Thank you," and he grabbed her into a body-crushing hug.

"Sora….can't….breathe," Was all Kairi managed to say

"Oh," Sora quickly let her go, and while she was gasping a lungful of air very quickly, Sora said "Sorry,"

"Its, ok, but you didn't need to thank me by crushing my b…" Kairi began

"No, not that, I mea, Sorry for that as well, but I'm sorry you had to find out from me,"

Oh," It was all Kairi managed to say

"Is there anyway I can make it up to you?"

"Well, you can watch the DVD that Roxas made about what happened today?"

"Oh, I was wondering what that was," Sora snatched it and added, "Last one to the couch is a rotten egg," and started running to the family room.

When Kairi got there, Sora was running around yelling, "I've won, I've won,"

"I still don't know how you do it," Kairi wondered

Sora stopped running round like an idiot and said "How I do what,"

"Manage to run around like an idiot, but not have a glimpse of pain on your face,"

"Listen, when your friends with Leon and Riku, you need to learn to take pain nearly every day,"

"Oh," Kairi said, still not sure how that answered how he took take a near death beating and manage to smile.

Sora sat down on the couch and Kairi cuddled near him, but Sora was too excited to notice his dream was coming true.

The Film started off with Cloud and Leon getting angry that Cid and Tidus had gotten past them. Occasionally Sora and Kairi would laugh at bits, like when Roxas lamely said how it was part of photography class, and how the teacher had believed him. But when the scene came when Kairi had slammed her tray on the cafeteria table, Sora literally jumped of the seat.

"Jesus Christ Kairi, did you have to slam it that hard," Sora asked as he got back into his position

"Yes," Kairi blankly said, and they continued to watch the movie.

School ended and Roxas was filming the car ride

"What I don't get is why Kairi was so pissed of at us for not telling her that sora was in hospital," Roxas Asked

"Oh, I know why, Is Cause…" Riku began, but at that moment Kairi had grabbed the remote and pushed fast forward, while thinking 'I'm going to Kill Roxas'

"What was that part?" Sora asked

"Oh, nothing, they were just having fun, they told me," Kairi's quick excuse made Sora's curiosity die down.

Kairi stopped it and the movie continued.

"I mean we all know that Sora…" Cloud started say, when Sora snatched the remote and hit fast forward

"Having fun," Sora used the same excuse Kairi had, while thinking 'I'm going to kill Roxas,' but Kairi wasn't buying it. She was about to ask what it was about, when Sora hit play and it started from Sephiroth

"Now, I've known Sora for a long time, He's helped me out a few times before, and the only thing that stopping me from putting you three in Hospital like you did with Sora, is that he made me promise that I wouldn't, and Sora has never broken a promise to me, and I will never do the same to him," he said

"Since when did you ever help out Sephiroth?" asked Kairi

"I help him out when he gets in trouble, like a couple of years ago, he was in trouble for beating a kid up, but I told the principal that it was only cause the other kid started laying into him, so he got out of it,"

"Wow, I didn't know you and he were friends," Kairi said

"Not many people do, he used to hang out around the house and help my dad out when the car broke, we used to chat and he'd beat anyone who used to pick on me, Nice to know he's still helping me," As Sora continued to watch the video.

Kairi walked up to Wakka, whose nose looked broken, picked him up and said "This is for making me cry," and she slapped him

"This is for toying with my heart," and slapped him again

"And this is for hurting my friend," and she hit him in the nose, knocking him out.

"Nice Shot," Sora remarked

"Thank You," Kairi thanked

The Tape ended and they just sat there for a few seconds before Kairi spoke up

"So, what do you want to do?" Kairi asked

"Hmm, lets play Halo 3, you go to my room, and I'll get some chips," and Sora ran to the Kitchen

Kairi ran up the stairs and burst into his room. Around the door were photos of all his friends; in the two corners of that wall was his Bass and Electric Guitar. On the left wall was a TV with an Xbox 360 and a number of games, outside his window was a view were Kairi could just see the view of the school. On Soras side table, there was a radio clock, lamp and a Picture.

Kairi picked up the picture. It was a picture of Her and Sora, Sora had Board shorts on, and Kairi had a Pink Bikini, with their backs on the beach, while it was Twilight. Sora had his arm over Kairi and they both had big smiles on their faces. Kairi remembered that day; it was the day before they had started…

SNAP

"Ok, Riku, that's the only photo your ganna get of us," Kairi said

"Oh, we'll see," Riku walked over and started talking with Yuffie

It was the last day of school holidays, and the gang had decided to spend the last day at the beach. Riku had insisted that everyone have their photo taken, and Kairi had only agreed to get one with another Person. She had immediately regretted this when Riku had dragged Sora away from Cloud and Leon, and stuck him next to her; however, it hadn't been as bad as Sora had thought it would be.

"I can't believe we're starting year 8 tomorrow," Kairi said

"I can't believe I MADE it to year 8," Sora said

"Sora, you are smart,"

"Kairi, you are the only person in the entire universe that believes that,"

"Nonsense, everyone here thinks that you are smart,"

"Oh, yea?" Sora said and he yelled "CLOUD! LEON!"

Cloud and Leon stumbled over to Sora

"Yo, Sora, good job on making it to Year 8, I was sure that you were ganna repeat," Leon said

"Oh, that reminds me," and Cloud held out his hand

Leon grumbled as he took out 50 and handed it to Cloud

"Pleasure doing business with you," as Cloud walked off whistling

Sora pointed out his hand, showing his point

"Oh, the guys are always doing that, but the girls think otherwise," Kairi said Again

"Oh, yeah?" Sora said again and waved at Namine

"Hey, Sora, good job, I thought you were going to fail," Namine Shouted

Sora pointed his hand out again

"Oh, alright, you win, your stupid," Kairi gave up

"Thank you…OIYA!?" Sora finally got the insult

Kairi giggled and stayed silent for a few seconds

"Hey look, it's the Island," Kairi pointed out

They stared at the Island before Sora spoke up

"I remember one time when I went treasure hunting on those Islands,"

"Yeah, we went all day and you couldn't find anything,"

"I made you a promise, do you remember what it was?"

"That no matter what happened, we would always be friends,"

"Another one of my promises that ill never break," Sora smiled

Kairi Laughed

"What?" Sora asked

"I love that smile," Kairi smiled

Sora smiled, even bigger than he had before

SNAP

"Ha, I told you I'd get another," Riku cheered triumphantly

Sora started chasing Riku around the beach trying to get the camera back. Kairi laughed as Sora Tackled Riku, grabbed the camera and started running…

Kairi smiled as she remembered the times, before relationships and love. A single tear went down her cheek, but it wasn't sadness, it was joy. She wiped the tear from her cheek and put the photo down just as Sora entered the room.

"You still like Salt and Vinegar, right," Sora asked as he held out a packed of Salt & Vinegar.

Kairi laughed and nodded her head.

He chucked her a large packet of Salt & Vinegar as he turned on the Xbox 360 and they enjoyed beating people from other countries on Halo 3
