"Open your eyes." Axel said

Kairi opened her eyes, only to see Axel holding a carefully wrapped box. "Tah Dah." Axel said, handing her the box. Kairi opened it with care, revealing a long black case. She opened the case, revealing a beautiful gold necklace. "Oh, Axel. It's beautiful." Kairi said, giving Axel a great big bear hug.

Axel took the box and removed the necklace. Then he twirled his index finger, signaling her to turn around. He put it around her neck as she held her hair up. Kairi then took the end of the necklace in her hands. There was a gold locket with a diamond in the middle. "Is it a real diamond?" Kairi asked, anxiously.

"Yep. It's a one of a kind diamond."

She tried to open the locket, but it wouldn't open. "You might need this." Axel said, holding up a tiny key on a gold chain.

Axel put it around his neck. "Hey. I need that." Kairi said, reaching for the key.

"You have to catch me first." Axel said in a childish way, as he ran off the bench.

Kairi chased him for a long time. Then he went through a portal, with Kairi on his heels. They arrived at Destiny Islands. They ran along the shore and into the water. Kairi took a leap at Axel and knocked him over. "Gotcha." She said, grabbing the key in success.

They both sat up in the shallow end of the water. Kairi opened the locket to reveal two pictures, one of her and one of Axel. "You see Kairi? I am the key to your heart." Axel said, holding her hands in his.

Kairi closed the locket and placed the key around Axel's neck. They both stared at the waves, water lapping at their feet. "When you said all that stuff, back there in the vacant courtyard…" Kairi hesitated.

"Yeah?" Axel said puzzled.

"I thought you were…about…to…propose…to…me."

"Oh." Axel said, shocked.

"I was hoping I wouldn't come onto you like that." He said with a chuckle.

"I'm…just…not…ready…yet." He hesitated.

"That's ok." Kairi said, sighing.

She rested her head on his shoulder while he rested his head on hers. "My dress is like soaked." Kairi said looking down at her dress.

"You can take it to the dry cleaners you know." Axel pointed out.

"Easy for you to say." Kairi said, punching Axel in the arm.

"We should really be getting home." She said.

"Yeah. Ok."

Axel walked Kairi home and gave her a goodnight kiss. He then left to walk to his house. Kairi got out of her wet dress and into her pink pajamas. Then she went to bed and drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

The next morning, Axel got up and went to a computer store. He bought a laptop that was black. He called SBC for Internet and they delivered a starter kit. He hooked it up and made an account on yahoo. Luckily Kairi already had a computer, so he could chat with her at night. He downloaded Yahoo messenger and added some of his old buddies to his contact list. He added Demyx, Marluxia, Zexion, Alex, and Axus to his list. Axel turned off his computer and walked to Kairi's house, but she was gone. He figured she was shopping, as usual. He waited for her to come home so he could ask her what her email was.

She finally returned and was startled when she found Axel on her couch. "How do you get in here?" she asked putting her grocery bag down.

"It's easy Sweet Cakes." He said.

"You know…portals. The big dark things that you enter and end up in other…" 'I know, Axel." Kairi cut him off, laughing.

"Hey. What is your email, by the way?" Axel asked

"X2-destinygirl-2X and you put on the end." She said. "Yours?"

"FlurryofDancingFlames8 and you put on the end." Axel said writing down her email.

"Hey, I'm going to visit Axus and Alex. Do you want to come with me?" He asked, with a puppy dog pout.

"Awww. You know I can't refuse with a face like that." She said.

"Cool. Let's go."

They left to go to Twilight Town. When they got there, they followed the directions Alex and Axus left them. They went to Axus' house first. Axel knocked on the door and Selphie answered. "Selphie? Are you living with Axus?" Kairi asked.

"No, of course not. Can't a girl come and visit her boyfriend?" Selphie said laughing.

"Boyfriend?"

"Newsflash. Ever since the dance, we have been dating. Duh." Selphie said aggravated.

"Ok. Can we come in?" Axel asked politely.

"Let them in Selphie." Came Axus' voice.

Axel and Kairi walked in to a beautiful home. Unlike Axel's place, this house had many rooms and lots of furniture. Axus brought them a drink and beckoned them to sit down to chat. "So. How have you guys been?" Axus asked breaking the silence.

"Well, we're girlfriend and boyfriend now." Axel said taking a drink of the tea Axus gave him.

"Really? That is awesome!" Selphie said.

"Have you heard from Alex?" Axus asked.

"No. Why?" Axel asked puzzled.

"She hasn't called or visited or anything." Axus said.

"Maybe we should drop by and see if she is ok." Axel said to Kairi.

"Good idea."

Axel and Kairi left with a "thank you" and a "nice seeing" you. They ran to Alex's house and knocked on the door. Tidus answered it. "What do you want?" he asked harshly.

"Whoa there buddy. We just came to see Alex. Is she here?" Axel said.

"NO!" Tidus yelled, slamming the door.

"Ok. Something strange is going on here and we are going to get to the bottom of it. Want to go up to her window? That is if we can find it." Kairi said.

"Yeah." Axel said grabbing Kairi's waist.

Axel leaped up, holding Kairi and landed on the balcony. "I think this is it." He said.

They looked in the window and saw Tidus talking to Alex while he paced the floor. He looked like he was furious. Alex stood up out of her chair and he pushed her back down. "What the…" Axel said with an angry look on his face.

Alex looked as if she were yelling at him. Then there came a brutal blow to Alex's face by Tidus. "Stay here, Kairi." Axel growled.

Kairi gasped at how mad he was and nodded her head in agreement. Axel lunged forward with a deep growl and disgusted face. Axel went through the glass and started to go off on Tidus. "HEY! YOU DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, HIT MY SISTER! DO YOU HEAR ME?!" Axel yelled, as he shoved a finger in Tidus' chest.

"You can't do anything about it. You are really unfortunate for having a piece of trash as a sister." Tidus said, looking at Alex.

Alex was on the ground, holding her hand to her sweltering, stinging cheek. Axel took her in his arms and shot through the window again. Then he beckoned Kairi to jump on his back and they departed from a cursing Tidus. Axel ran to Axus' house and slammed the door open. All Kairi could think about was her favorite song. Face Down starts to play in her head.

Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy.

One look puts the rhythm in my head.

Still I'll never understand why you hang around. I see what's going down.

Cover up with make up in the mirror. Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again. You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend. One day this world's going to end, as your lies crumble down. A new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple affect. Every action in this world will bear a consequence. If you wade around forever, you will surely drown. I see what's going down. I see the way you go and say your right again, say your right again. Heed my lecture.

Face down in the dirt. She said this doesn't hurt. She said I finally had enough.

One day she will tell you that she has had enough. It's coming round again. Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend. One day this world's going to end, as your lies crumble down. A new life she has found.

Kairi loved the song and knew that it was only the cruel truth to some couples. It just so happened that this cruel thing happened to Axel's sister. "You really have to listen to the lyrics of many songs, not just the guitar solos and music." She thought.

"What happened?" Axus asked rushing to Axel as he sat Alex down on Axus' couch.

"TIDUS!!" Axel snarled. Alex's cheek was swelling.

Her soft sobs filled the room, as did sympathy from the others. Axel wiped away her tears. "Has he always done this to you?" Axel asked.

"Ever since "we" moved into my house. Look." Alex said weakly wiping her foundation off her face, revealing bruises.

Then she lifted her sleeves and pant legs. There were bruises and scratches all over her. There were even slashes in her arm. "Did he cut you with a knife?" Selphie asked.

"Yes. And he hit me with that red stick of his."

"That prick." Axel growled.

"He will pay. No One and I mean NO ONE, HURTS MY SISTER AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!" Axel yelled.

Axel stormed through the door and ran to Tidus' house, ready to hurt him.

Ha. What did you think of that chapter? Hope I didn't jump around too much. And you all thought Axel was proposing to Kairi. I thought it was too soon for that. Lol maybe later. What will Axel do to Tidus for abusing his sister? Find out next chapter. There is a catch of course. 3 reviews then I add another chappy. K? Lol which I know for sure that my best friend Unwritten Story will submit a review. She loves the story. Oh and I couldn't put the regular email address thing because it wouldn't show on my story. cya
