A promise is a promise.

I got off the ship and ran to where Flare was. I froze and Flare looked at me.

She was as half the size of the Gummi ship and her feathers gave a red glow. She was beautiful! She landed on the ground and looked up at me.

I had to smile because not just that she's beautiful she's kind of cute with her puppy eyes and short beak. I finally knew what she was. Hikari had said the words from my mind.

"Oh my gosh! You're so beautiful! Yes you are our little Phoenix friend!" She said and rubbed Flare's belly.

Well, of course, I wouldn't put it that way, but it was funny how Hikari reacted.

Zane's Pov

I just had to smile at Hikari's childish ways. I think that's half of what I love about her. She's so childish and sensitive. Other than that she grew up into a beautiful lady. Gosh Zane! You have to focus! I sighed and walked up to Hikari. "Sorry Hikari but I think we should hurry. Everyone is leaving." I whispered.

She looked at me and I felt my heart beat faster. "Alright, Come on Flare!" She said and Flare spread her wings.

I watched as she followed Krixa, Roxas, and Riku and Jack. Wait and minute... Where's Sora?

"You like her don't you?" Sora asked behind me.

"WHOA!" I turned and Sora smiled. I turned to see everyone out of sight.

"It's alright I won't tell anyone." Sora shrugged. "I promise." He said.

I narrowed my eyes. "How can I know that you won't tell?" I asked.

He smiled. "I always keep my promises." He said.

Okay I don't really know Sora, but I know that trick. I raised a brow and he sighed.

"Alright, you want proof? I promised Kairi that I would come back to her. And I did eight years ago right? Seven years ago, Rika was scared. She asked me if I wouldn't forget her. I promised her that and when I stopped talking to her, I kicked sand everyday, watching the ocean and thinking about her. I saw her in my own dreams. Dreams that we didn't talk in. She's always on my mind. Right now she can't leave my mind." He said and patted my back. "You can count on me." He said walking away.

I sighed and ran after him.
