Sorry it took so long to update, I had no motivation and school is being
evil as usual. Thank you so much for the reviews! They made me feel all
fuzzy inside. ^_^ Love and Peace!
Chapter two
Kairi opens her eyes when she hears a boat approaching. /Could it be Sora? This late?/ Her heart starts pounding at the romance of it all. Has he come to see her? How did he know she would be here?
She came to this part of the beach on a whim. She has only been on these islands for a few years, and she usually doesn't roam around without Sora. But she had a nightmare. They are always the same, of the day she came to Destiny Islands. She still remembers that fateful storm. Losing her house, her parents and her best friend, Carlin. The long, hard swim on her front door. All after is a blur of pain and sadness. But she also remembers Sora's beautiful cobalt eyes when he found her on the beach. How scared she was. But his eyes helped her through the shock she felt. She would never forget those eyes. It was love at first sight.
Sighing fondly at the memory, she smiles inwardly and sits up to wait for her savior to come to her.

Riku's eyes meet Kairi's in the light of the moon. Neither are very happy with the person they see. Riku stops himself from glaring at the red head. That's not something a "friend" would do. Riku climbs out of the boat and smiles weakly at the younger girl. He's gotten used to faking emotion so well that all she sees in his eyes is friendly wonder.
"What are you doing her Kairi? It's pretty late." His voice sounds like that of a worried parent. /Man I'm good/
"I wanted to look at the stars for a bit...I couldn't sleep." Kairi says softly. She isn't as good at hiding her disappointment. It's all over her face and Riku flinches visibly.
"Me neither. You waiting for someone? I can leave.." "No!!" She shrieks unintentionally. She blushes at her embarrassing outburst. "Om..no..you don't have to leave if you don't want to." She looks down at her feet in the cool sand. /What is wrong with me?! Keep your cool Kai!/
"Ok." With that he plops down on the sand, elbows holding him up to look at the calm sea.
Doing the same, Kairi closes her eyes and listens to the waves crashing on the shore. She's never been alone with Riku before this night. Sora has always been between them, being the mutual friend that kept the little group from falling apart. Now all the girl felt was tension between her and the silver haired teen. This troubled her. She had never thought about trying to be Riku's friend. He probably didn't like her for that reason.
She looked over at his silhouette. /He IS cute. heh, but he's not Sora. He has the most amazing hair. I never noticed that before...Gee, I've known this boy for at least 2 years and I never really looked at him../ She quickly wipes a single tear away.
