Kairi's eyes fluttered open as she took a deep shaky breath. Dried tears plastered the creamy white skin on her face. She felt strangely numb, and being half asleep, she couldn't remember why. Then, it hit her,paining her from the depths of her heart. The flashback of the night before involuntarily jolted into her head. She remembered how Sora had stomped off, ignoring her cries, how he didn't turn to spare her another glance. And for some reason, that really hurt her. As she unsteadily sat up in bed, she pondered on what he wished to tell her. Numerous ideas popped up into her mind, but none of them seemed fit to something the naive Sora would say. She cocked her head to the side,

"Maybe he wanted to tell me that he- No...He wouldn't...He doesn't like me for more then a friend.." She thought solemnly with a frown. She felt tears come to her eyes, but she quickly brushed them away sighing and heading to the shower.

Kairi showered, dressed, ate, brushed her teeth, and gave a sad farewell to her parents.

"Be careful, Hun," Mrs. Heartstrong embraced her daughter.

"Don't worry, Kaylee," Kairi's father addressed his wife, "Her little boyfriend Sora will watch out for her," Mr. Heartstrong winked at his daughter. The sound of Sora's name caused Kairi to cringe slightly before stepping outside to the warmth of the sun that tingled her skin.

"Maybe he doesn't love me. But...I can dream," she said to herself with a small sad smile, dismissing the relentless tears that threatened to fall.

The Wielder of Light felt absolutely horrible about how he acted the night before with Kairi.

"I can't believe I just left her like that!" he said to himself, yanking at his chocolate brown spikes,

"It's not her fault that Sugar-High Selphie came out of nowhere."

The brunet had tossed and turned all night, beating himself up for the way he treated Kairi. He knew her feelings had to be hurt.

"I've gotta find her," he moaned, desperately searching for the crimson-haired beauty. Then, a figure caught his eye. Sitting by the light-colored shores, was The Princess of Hearts. She sat with her legs stretched out in front of her, holding her head in her hands, while her elbows rested on her lap. Her head was down, slightly tilted to the side, so she could still view the ocean, as the breeze tussled her fiery red locks. Sora jogged towards Kairi, until he reached her, sliding down into the sand beside her.

"Kai," Sora began, looking at the silent girl who didn't bother to return his gaze. "I'm really sorry about last night. I-"

"No, Sora," the Wielder could sense a hint of coldness in her soft, serene voice. "Just..Don't worry about it okay?"

"Kairi, look at me! Please, just hear me out. I'm-"

"Hey, guys," The sound of Riku's voice echoed towards them, as well as his footsteps. Kairi stood and walked past Riku, heading towards the Destati.

"I'm ready. Let's go," she stated plainly. Riku casted a confused glance at Sora, who just looked down at the ground sadly, and slowly followed after Kairi.Sora hurt Kairi's feelings, she didn't accept his apology, and now she was mad at him. A sick feeling enveloped Sora.

"Could it get worse than this?"

Riku could sense the tension rising between his two friends. After debating on where to go, Deep Jungle, the two had been extremely quiet. They had argued on whether to go to Atlantica or Deep Jungle, and of course, after twenty minutes, Kairi had gotten her way. The brunet and the redhead sat back to back, arms crossed, with a scowl of anger etched on their faces.

"So...What's up with you two?" Riku queried uneasily.

"Well, if it weren't for Mr. Jerk here," Kairi jabbed a thumb towards Sora, "Everything would be fine."

"Riku, tell her that she's the real "jerk" here,"

"Kai-" Riku began but was quickly interrupted.

"Oh yeah? Well tell him that if he doesn't shut up, I'll shove my Keyblade down his throat!"

"Riku!! Tell HER that I'll rip her-"

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!" Riku howled, causing Kairi to involuntarily grasp onto Sora in fear, who reluctantly shoved her off with a loud "Humph."

"I'm not even gonna get into this," Riku stated, calming down, though his ocean like eyes still bore embers of anger. "You two have to work this out, I'll have nothing to do it. But if you guys argue like that one more time..."

"Sorry, Riku," Kairi sighed. "And by sorry I mean sorry for annoying you, not apologizing to him," The Princess emphasized "him" with disgust. Sora opened his mouth to protest but clamped a hand over it when Riku cut him an evil glance. The rest of the ride was silent because before an argument arose, Riku sent out threats that flamed in his aquamarine eyes. Sora wanted to apologize to Kairi about the outburst, but his pride and dignity kept him from doing so. Kairi also wanted to apologize, but she felt it was Sora's fault and his place to say sorry first. The ship's automated voice system warned them of the upcoming warphole before spiraling into the bi-colored wonder. Before the Destati landed into the lush rain forests of Deep Jungle, Sora quickly stole a glance at Kairi. Her face bore no expression, her full pink lips formed a straight defined line. She was her usual beautiful self, only a disturbing aura of sadness hung over her. Sora glanced away, but then focused back on her flawless face when something caught his eye. The brunet's cerulean eyes widened. His heart stopped when he saw a crystal clear teardrop roll down her cheek.

T h o u g h t s ? . . .

"What have I done?"

"I'm broken, and the only thing that can fix me is your love."

I know, I know. Another slightly sad chappie. Don't worry, Sora & Kairi'll make up.. Or will they? Dun, dun, dddunnn! Thats for me to know and for you to find out. Read&Review, cuz I heart you.
