sending me such nice reviews and I'll try my best to get my soar tushy out of bed! Well, here goes:
==============================================================================
Kairi's eyes opened as the rays of light shined across her face. She barely remembered where she was until she realised
that she wasn't alone. She had fallen asleep in Riku's arms, because she had cried when he asked her about her parents the night
before. Kairi's eyes wandered to his face to see that he was still sleeping. She smiled and tapped him a bit. "Come on you lazy bum,
wake up!" she said cheerfully.
The silver-haired boy's eyes started to open, showing their beautiful aqua depths.
"Good morning Kairi." he said, with slightly less cheer than her. He yawned, taking his arms back from around Kairi and
stretching.
"You know, Riku, you'd make a great big brother." she said, still laying ontop of him.
"Then I'll be yours Kairi. Whenever you need me."
She smiled and giggled lightly. "You're the greatest."
He nodded. "And you're the sweetest. Now get up, my mom is going to make breakfast soon."
Kairi nodded and sat up, rubbing her eyes. Her short maroon hair was a mess, and when Riku saw it he started to laugh.
"Your hair looks like a rat's nest." he teased. But in fact, Riku's looked even worse.
"Well your looks like you had a fight with the lawn mower and lost!" she said with a giggle, sticking out her tongue playfully.
"Don't make me grab that pink thing of yours!" he said, touching her tongue lightly.
As soon as she tasted the salt from his finger she sucked it quickly back into her mouth. "Ok, ok, you win." She smiled and stood up.]
The two of them had fallen asleep in their clothes.
"Riku! Kairi! Breakfast!" yelled Riku's mother up the stairs.
Kairi paused for a moment when she heard the happy, loving voice. It reminded her of when she was a little girl.....

Young Kairi picked up her doll, with tears streaming down her face. The doll's button eye was ripped out, only a piece
of thread popping out of the cloth.
A delicate hand reached over and picked it from her hands quietly, Kairi willingly letting it go.
"Don't worry sweetie, mommy will fix it for you, and she'll be as good as new." her mother said, smiling softly down at her daughter.
Her hair was the same maroon color as Kairi's, but her eyes a deep green.
Kairi nodded, her hair getting in her face. Her mother bent over and brushed it away from her eyes... "Oh, Kairi..."

"Kairi? Kairi..." Riku's mother said, until she finally put a hand genly on her shoulder, snapping he rback to reality.
"Oh good, I was afraid we'd lost you there for a moment." she said, with the same motherly grin she remembered her mother
having.
Kairi smiled. "Sorry, I was just thinking."
Kairi's eyes wandered around... the scenery had changed. They were in Riku's kitchen, waffles with syrp sitting infront of her,
Riku pigging out with a childish grin on his face. When she saw Riku, she realised what day it was.
"Happy birthday Riku!" She said happily.
He smiled. "Thanks Kairi."
Kairi nodded and started to eat her breakfast. She didn't remember breakfast ever tasting so good at her house, she enjoyed every bit
of it, until all had left her plate. Each little morsel that played on her tongue seemed like a dream to her.
All the while, Riku's mother had been watching her, her eyes playing over the happy girl. "You'd never think she came from an abused
family, would you?" she asked her husband, from a distance away, so she couldn't hear.
"Never. Such a happy child." her husband said, his hair the same silver as Riku's, but much shorter.
His wife, a brunette with aqua eyes, looked at him longingly. "Oh Edward, do you think we could be her foster parents? She's such a
darling child, I can't get enough of her! Maybe even we could adopt her one day!"
The man, Edward, seemed to think it over for a moment before responding. "Well.... I guess we could. We'll have to disscuss it with her,
and Riku, and go through all the paperwork..."
Riku's mother took him into an embrace. "Oh thank you! You know I've always wanted a daughter!!!"
