I am running outta quotes. Please send me all that you can, related to Kingdom Hearts or otherwise! Whatever you have, please send them to me, even if you just make them up!! And thanks for the reviews!

Surprise! All the quotes that have 'Unknown" as their author is actually made by me! If you don't believe me, that's fine, there was only one I didn't make up. I just put "Unknown" because I don't want my name on anything more except than where it needs to be; at the right of the title, as the rightful authoress of my stories.


Chapter Ten: I Love You

Sora ran to the dock, and he could see from afar that Kairi was already sitting down waiting for him.

Kairi heard footsteps resound on the wood. She turned to greet Sora.

"Hey, Kai."

"Sora."

Sora sat down to her left. The sun was setting exactly in the middle, turning the clear blue waters into a breathtaking mix of colours. Reds and pinks glided on the surface, dancing on the gentle waves, and the clouds radiated the sunset, its white, colourless demeanour suddenly transforming into an absolutely beautiful colour show too perfect for words.

"Kairi?"

"Yeah, Sora?"

Sora gulped. There was a funny butterfly feeling in his stomach. He was nervous.

"Um… Er… Kairi…"

Kairi looked up. "Yes?"

Sora laughed nervously, scratching the nape of his neck.

"Kairi, I need you to help me."

Kairi nodded. "Sure. What's up?"

"Um… there's this girl I like, and…"

Was it just him, or did Kairi lose some of her radiance when he said that? Her happy demeanour turned just a bit sad, and she gave a small sigh.

"How is she?"

Sora smiled. "She's beautiful, she's smart… she's just perfect in every way. She has these eyes that just make me want to kiss her all over with a single stare. She has a wonderful personality, and she has a nice sense of humour…"

Kairi sighed, looking at her tail sadly.

"She must be a great girl then."

Sora looked at Kairi, smiling a soft smile.

"And she's sitting right next to me," he said quietly.

Kairi looked at Sora in surprise; her mouth smiled slightly, and her eyebrows raised. Sora raised his eyebrow, getting closer to Kairi, and his hand rested over hers.

"I love you, Kairi. You're too perfect for words, and I know, in my heart, that you're the girl for me."

Kairi turned pink, and smiled softly. Her tail flashed. Kairi kissed him on the cheek, and Sora looked just a bit surprised. He smiled, and suddenly kissed Kairi on the lips. His arms embraced her, and he felt Kairi on his lap, her hand on his cheek and her arm around his neck. Sora's arm rested around her tail, while the other arms massaged her back.

Sora placed his forehead on Kairi's, and they just breathed hard.

"Kairi," he said quietly, "do you love me?"

He felt Kairi nod. "Yes. I do. And I'll always love you."

The two stayed embraced, as the sun set and the stars appeared.

Unseen, a figure sat on the second dock, moonlight shining gently on her. Her arms were curled around her legs, and the wind flew gently through her hair. She was watching Sora and Kairi.

And a soft smile played on her lips.

Sorry it's so short! I had just a few minutes, and I'm kinda grounded now.
