Ch.5

Key***

"blahblah" – talk

blahblah – thoughts

//blahblah// -- Evil person talk

/blahblah/ -- Sora talk (you'll see why)

Even the struggle can be nice Tataku no mo ii kedo

But I've grown tired Tsukarechatta yo

And when I shut my eyes, Yume no genjitsu mo me wo tojireba

Dreams and Reality are the same Onaji

That's why I'm dreaming of you Da kara dreaming of you

I escape into my dreams in my room Yume ni esukeepu in my room

When I close my mouth, both lies and truth Uso mo hontou mo kuchi wo tojireba

Are exactly the same Onaji

--Utada Hikaru "In My Room" 1st Chorus

**(this is the main song for the Fic! =^_^= I'll keep writing the rest)

(Sora POV) **I'll be switching a lot. Sorry, it's for the good of the story!**

She looks at me for a long time.

She cups her cheek, where I touched her.

And she begins to back away toward the rock she was leaning against.

"A-are you a Heartless?" she mutters in fear.

Fear?

…Does she fear me?

Do these "Heartless" scare her?

/What's a Heartless?/ I ask. Not knowing what answer she could give me.

She looks surprised "Beings without hearts…"

"Isn't that wh…what you are? You speak like one…"

This took me by surprise.

I didn't know who or "what" I was.

Could I be one of these "Heartless?"

/I…don't know. I don't know who I am…or what I am/ I answered.

The girl now takes a good look at me.

I think she's not afraid of me anymore…

--

(Kairi POV)

I don't know if he was a Heartless, really.

But, he seemed different.

I think he still had a soul in there somewhere.

I took a good look at him in the light—

I held my breath for awhile.

He…he looks like Sora.

Only that he was all black and has yellow eyes.

(A/N: (sorry) he looks like Anti-Sora; from Neverland)

Could he…?

Did he…?

Was he…?

"Sora?"

He perks up at the name.

/Do you know Sora?/

Oh…I let my anxiety take over.

If he "was" Sora, he wouldn't be asking about himself.

"Yeah…he was someone I knew"

/Knew?/

"Well, he's away. You see; he's on a mission to open a door…or something. I haven't seen him for three years. But, he said he would come back…he promised."

(Sora POV)

//This girl knows Sora// the voice tells me

/yea…but she seems so familiar to me./

//Do you feel it?//

I wonder when he asks me this. But…

/Nani…feel what?/

//Warmth…like Sora//

Warmth?

I ignore the voice for awhile. The girl is looking at me strangely.

"Do you have a name?" she asks innocently.

I ponder that. /No…not that I can remember of./

"Oh…I'm sorry. My name's Kairi."

/Kairi?/

"Souyo!" She smiles at me. "Would you like a name?"

/Name?/

"Yeah…don't you want one?"

/Oh, all right./

She puts a finger on her chin. "Hm…"

"Something that suits you…"

/Like what?/

"Kage? Tenshi? Yoake..?

/Yoake?/

"Okay…let's try a different language."

She suddenly stands up and smiles

"I know! How about Mono! Mono menas "doll" in spanish! It suits you."

/Mono? O-okay. I like it if you like it/

"Mono! Oh, it's so cute!"

I sit there and watch her praise herself.

The name she has given me…Mono, I really do like—

Kairi…she was hugging me. I stood there frozen stiff.

I never expected this.

//You like it don't you?// he asks with pleasure in his breath.

/What do you want?/ I ask. He seems like he's up to something.

//This girl…what you're feeling now. She has the warmth you're seeking/

Kairi?

It was true. I did want this warmth.

//Take it//

/What!/

//Why not? She's right in your grasp. Take her heart and you take her warmth.

You can be happy with it forever//

/ I…I can't do that!/

//Why not…you "are" a Heartless, are you not? //

What? I…

I'm a Heartless…?

/That can't be…/ I whisper in shock

Kairi looks at me. "Mono…it something wrong?"

//TAKE IT! //

/No! Who are you!! /

//DON'T YOU WANT IT?! //

/No! Not if it means killing her!/

"Mono…are you okay?"

/Leave me alone! Who are you!/

"It's Kairi. Mono, what's going on?"

//Oh. You have feeling for her? This will be most exciting…as for who I am, that'll come in due time…//

---

(Kairi POV)

"Mono, what's going on?"

I shook his shoulders. He seemed really out of it.

He was just staring into space, and I guess yelling to himself.

"Mono!" I scream.

I guess that got his attention because he snapped back into reality.

/Kairi…I, i…/ He hesitantly began stepping away from me.

"Mono…" I went to grab his hand and comfort him.

/Don't touch me!/ He yells and pulls his hand away. He runs into the shadows.

"Wait! Come back, Mono!" I run after him…but it's hopeless. I couldn't find him.

"Did I do something wrong?" I didn't know what I did. Maybe I scared him when I gave him a hug.

I began to walk back toward the dock when I step on something hard.

"Ow…" I whine as I move my foot.

"Hey, what's this?" I pick up a familiar charm that I had given.

Oathkeeper?

"Sora…?"

FINALLY! Cliffhanger sucks though.

Sorry for any little errors, I typed this in one hour.

After awhile of homework-pack days, I've managed to finish another chappie!

If something is confusing, please let me know! I'll change it.

a/N: Went to LA to check out the X games IX at the staples center. The bad thing, a lot of the games were outside in the 90-degree sun. I liked it, but it was too hot and too crowded. So I guess I didn't see much except a lot of merchandise. BUT! I saw Tony Hawk. KEWLIO!

A/n2: I think I've been listening too much of Utada Hikaru's "First Love" album. I'm driving my family nuts because they don't understand a word I'm singing. It's Automatic! =^_^=

Oh well…Review please!!! Gimme ideas and I'll keep writing!

Japanese Dictionary:

-Nani- What!?
