Here it is, another chapter! I had a really hard time writing this one because of a very mean review someone left me.
*COUGH*Chevira Lowe*COUGH*
Man, that was really mean!
If you didn't like my story so much, don't read it!
Sorry, but it really bothered me. I cried!

Especially to Yami-Akasha who added me to her (Sorry!) fav authors list. That made me feel so good!!
Your such a sweetie, I dedicate this chaptor to you!
Thankies!!
*Tosses KH action figures to the crowd* Yay! Look, I got a Riku one! (3)

Chapter 2:
A lightining flash's promise
**************************************************************
"Sora!" Kairi called. She ran up to him. She leaned in real close.
Sora blushed a little
"Wanna play tag?" She asked him.
"Oh. Sure-" He was cut off.
Kairi leaned up and gave him a soft peck on the lips.
"You're it!" She said and ran off.
Sora stood stunned for a second and brought his hand to his lips.
Suddenly, he smiled and turned to run after Kairi.
"Here I come!" He yelled after her.
Riku was sitting in one of the palm trees, watching his friends on the shore.
Asuka walked up and called his name. He slid down the tree.
"We should leave them alone." She said.
He nodded hesitently. "Let's go to the paopu tree." He said.
They walked into the seaside shack and up the stairs.
They opened the door and walked along the bridge, Sora and Kairi laughing beneath them.
They stopped at the paopu tree and Riku climbed on, watching the waves.
"I know you like Kairi" Asuka said quietly.
"But she doesn't like me" Riku answered after a moment.
"Listen to me Riku, some people just aren't meant to be." She paused. He was looking down, such sadness in his eyes.
"You're going to have to give her up" She whispered.
He didn't answer.
The sky seemed to match his mood.
It darkened a little, a few clouds moving up on the horizon.
Suddenly a tear dropped from his eye. But just one.
"Are you...crying?" She asked him. She was worried now. She felt so sorry for him.
"No." He said quickly and looked up.
Suddenly, another tear dropped. But this one was from heaven.
The sky was weeping for him.
"I'm sorry." She said.
Riku jumped off the trunk of the paopu tree.
He stared at her with such anger, it startled her.
"What do you know?" he practicly yelled.
The sky darkened even more.
"You'll never know the pain I'm feeling!" He really was yelling now.
The rain started to fall faster.
"You can't even remember your past! How can YOU remember heartbreak?"
Asuka stood up and smiled a little.
"But I have" She whispered "You never forget that kind of pain.The wound is always there."
Riku's eyes widened as he realized his folly. He yelled at her so crudely. With such hatred.
Lightning.
They both gasped and turned quick enough to see a streak of light hit the ocean.
Riku cursed under his breath.
Without a word, he grabbed asuka's hand and ran.
He jumped off the bridge and poor Asuka fell like a rag doll, but Riku caught her and quickly set her on her feet.
Sora and Kairi were underneath the bridge, trying to stay dry.
They exchanged looks with each other.
They bolted to their own houses.
Riku was pulling Asuka up to his house.
"My house is closer" He told her.
The wind seemed to disagree wiht Riku's decision to get to safety.
It blew so hard, he practicly fell over.
Sand was cutting his face.
They finally reached his house and ran inside.
Riku sat down and tried to catch his breath.
"What the hell is going on?!" Asuka asked incredulously
"A storm is coming" He said simply
"Well, is the storm that bad?"
"Yes"
Asuka looked unsatisfied.
"*SIGH* Come on, I'll show you" Riku said.
Riku walked up some stairs Asuka hadn't noticed but she quickly followed.
They came up to his room.
"Look" He said. He pointed out the window above his bed.
Asuka walked closer and looked with mesmerized eyes out the window.
She looked back at him.
"What kind of storm IS this?" She asked with pure confusion.
"A bad one." He took a seat on the floor. She did the same, across from him.
"You know..." She paused. She was trying to word it right. "This storm seems so...familiar."
"Huh? Why?" He asked her.
She looked down "I...don't know"
She looked back out the window.
A bolt of lightning. Then thunder ensued.
Another bolt. Were they getting closer?
Another bolt. It seemed right out side the window.
Another bolt. This one seemed to strike Asuka right in the heart like a javelin.
Her eyes flashed and she fell back.
Riku appeared above her.
"Asuka? Asuka?" His face faded away.
Another bolt.
/"Mommy! Mommy, watch me!"
"Oh, yes dear. You look so cute." a woman with no eyes
A little girl in a tutu.
"I wanna be a ballerina!" The little girl said with pride.
Suddenly, the woman without eyes fell. She was clutching her stomache.
Sirens.
A hospital.
"Mommy?"
"Do't worry, dear. I'll be fine"
A nurse pulled the little girl out of the hospital room.
"Mommy! I love you!"
A funeral.
Crying.
The little girl with flowers.
"You promised you wouldn't die, mommy." The little girl whispered.
"You promised!" She cried/
"Hey, Asuka, can you hear me?" Riku's face again.
A tear fell on the side of her face.
"Riku..."She whispered.
"What's wrong?"
"I remebered"
"You remembered what? What happened?" He asked worridly.
Asuka sat up and and looked Riku straight in the eyes.
The tears started flowing heavier now.
"Oh, Riku!" She fell in his arms and started crying in his shirt.
"When I was little, my mother got sick" She managed to say between sobs.
He wrapped his arms around her.
"Shhhh...Don't worry" He wasn't exactly sure why, but he felt obligated to comfort her.
"Riku...help me. I don't want to hurt anymore!"
"Don't worry."
He began rocking back and forth.
Asuka's sobs softened a little.
"Please. I don't want to hurt anymore..." She whispered.
