Chapter 4:
Searching for a place to think

=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=

Riku came down the stairs only to catch Sora and Kairi mid-kiss.
They broke off immediately.
Riku stood there dumbfounded.

"Oh, wait, Riku-" Kairi began
"I'm leaving now" He said simply.

With his head down, he walked to the door and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asuka woke up in Kairi's bed.
She felt like crap. No, scratch that, shit.
She pushed the blankets off of her and got up, walking towards the door.

She finally came down the stairs and found Kairi eating breakfast.

"Good morning! Are you feeling better?" A very cheerful Kairi asked.
"Yeah" Asuka said and took the seat next to Kairi.
Kairi sighed. She looked sad.

"What's wrong?" Asuka asked.
"Riku walked in on me and Sora"
"He...still likes you, you know." Asuka informed.
"I thought he had gotten over me by now. Oh, I feel horrible"
"Don't. He's a strong young man, He'll be fine!" Asuka said with utter admiration.
"I hope so. You want some cereal?" Kairi asked. 'She went from sad to happy in 2.3 seconds flat. Astounding' Asuka thought.
"Oh, sure"
Kairi stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Asuka ran a hand along the cherry wood table. She felt the grittiness on her finger tips.
It kind of comforted her in a strange way.

Kairi walked back in with a bowl and the milk carton.
She set the bowl and the milk down and took her seat.

"Thanks" Asuka said. She grabbed the bowl and poured the milk in, the cereal crackling.
"You'll need to eat a bit so that way your stomache acid won't give you an ulcer."
Asuka looked kind of grossed out by this, but she nodded in agreement.
Kairi went back to her cereal.

"Are you still sad about your mother?" Kairi asked, mustering up her courage
"well, I don't really remember her, so I really can't be sad, you know?" Asuka answered.

Then the door burst open.
"Heya, Kairi! It's windy out there" Sora said happily.
"Hi, Sora" Kairi said. She blushed a little.
Asuka saw all this and got the message.
"I'll see you guys later" Asuka said. She walked to the door and out onto the beach.

She was walking for a while when she saw Riku sitting on the paopu tree.
She walked into the seaside shack, up the stairs and onto the bridge.

"Hey, Riku" She called
Riku cocked his head to look back at her.

She took the seat at the base of the paopu tree.

"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to see if you were okay. Kairi told me what happened" Asuka answered meekly.
"So?" Riku asked.

Asuka sighed. "You just gonna have to forget her, Riku"
Riku's face hardened and Asuka realized she wasn't helping.
She stood and proceeded to walk along the bridge.

"Wait" Riku said without turning around "Are you okay?"
"Yeah" She said and turned and kept walking down the bridge.

She had only just opened the door in the seaside shack when there was Wakka.
'Craptacular' Asuka thought.

"Why, hello, Asuka! I heard about yur mutter. You okay, ya?" He asked her, every moment getting closer to her face.
She pushed by him and walked onto the shore. "Uh, yeah, Wakka. I'm fine"
"You sure?" He grabbed her hands and held them. "I'm so sorry for your loss!" He exclaimed
She pulled free and smiled nervously "Thank you, but I gotta go!" And she ran, hoping he wasn't chasing after her.
She came to the waterfall and climbed up the ladder, onto the walkway.
She came to the platform and found Tidus playing with a stick.

"Oh, hey Asuka. You feeling okay?" He asked her.
"Thanks, Tidus. I'm fine" She turned around and walked back along the walkway.
Everyone was feeling bad for her, like she was some lost child whom everyone needed to pity.
She hated that. Why did she remember? She didn't really want to in the first place!

She climbed down the ladder and sat down near the water fall.
Then she noticed something.
The secret place at the base of the tree.
Curiosity got the best of her and she crawled inside
She came to a big cavern. She studied the drawings on the rocks.

'Oh, this is PERFECT!' She thoguht.
She sat down and leaned against one of the rocks.

She closed her eyes and nodded off
_

She woke up and crawled out of the secret place. It was nightime already.
Asuka yawned and proceeded to walk to Kairi's.

She opened the door but she didn't find Kairi.
'Strange' She thought.

She proceeded to walk to Sora's but when she passed some bushes she heard a sound.
"Who's there?" She asked the bush, scared.
Kairi popped up and she looked a little disheveled.

"Um, hi, Asuka!" She said nervously.
"Sorry I inturrupted" Asuka said with a smile.
"you can stay at my house tonight " Kairi suggested.
"Alright. I'll see you later" Asuka walked off back to Kairi's.
Kairi was pulled back down in the bush
"Sora! That tickles!"

Asuka only laughed a little.
She opened the door to Kairi's house and walked up the stairs into Kairi's room.
She picked up the blankets she had folded and placed in the corner of the room.
She pulled them out and layed them on the floor.
Her eyes caught the window and she could see Riku still sitting on the paopu tree.
'Hadn't he moved since this morning?' Asuka thought.
'Oh, well. Hopefully he could get over Kairi. He's strong, just like I told Kairi'
She layed down on the blankets and pulled the cover's up to her chin.

'Yeah, he's strong' Asuka thought.
Thenk Kairi walked in the room.
"Oh, hi, Asuka" She said breathlessly.
Asuka sat up a little and reasted on her elbows.
"Have a good time?" She asked slyly.
"Oh, it was great" She answered with a big smile.

She layed down in her bed, not even bothering to get dressed in pajamas.
She quickly fell asleep.

Asuka layed back down and fell asleep shortly afterward.

Riku was still at the paopu tree.

"Kairi and Sora. Thay do make a cute couple" He smiled
"I'll be fine" He told himself. And he wasn't just lying to himself anymore.

Yes, I know! This chapter was supremely short, but I'll make it up to you.
I promise!!!

And it's not mary-sue-ism!
How many times do I have to tell you?
The Asuka in this story looks nothing like me!
Now lay off!!!

And I'm thinking maybe I really will just destroy this story.
If you hate it SO horrible much,
maybe I'll just listen to you.
But that's only a maybe!
