-----------------------------------------------Chapter Two------------------ ------------------------------------------------

That night after dinner, Kairi went up to her room to get ready for the meeting, and her brother did the same. She was going through her closet looking for her favorite outfit, and was also getting angry because she couldn't find it. She was about to rip the room apart when her brother walked in holding what she was looking for. (Her brother's name is Draven.) "Looking for these squirt?" He asked and laid them on her bed. She turned around surprised. "Yes as a matter of fact I was, where were they?" She raised an eyebrow, and placed her hands on her hips. "They were right where you left them, on the shelf in the other closet." He said smirking. "Only you would forget where you laid your clothes." He laughed and then walked out and over to his room. "Oh ha ha ha very funny." She rolled her eyes and continued to get ready.

Kairi walked over to her bed and picked up her black jeans, and pulled them on. Then she took her black T-shirt and put it on. Finally happy that she found what she was looking for she grabbed her black choker off her dresser and put it on, then pulled on her sneakers. "Now then I'm finished, I wonder if Draven is done." She headed down the hall to her brother's room and opened the door. "Hey nerd are you ready yet?" She asked, with her hands on her hips. Draven looked up after getting his sneakers on and nodded his head. "Yes I guess so." He stood up and followed her out of his room, down the stairs, and out the front door.

They headed for the clearing in the cornfield, and met up with some of their friends on the way. When they got there Eli was in his place waiting to start the meeting. Everyone was there within minutes, and Eli cleared his throat to begin.

"Welcome children, he smiled. I've called you here for several reasons, so please pay attention." With that he began the meeting. "It appears that the outlanders that were coming are not as close as we thought, and it will take them some time to get here." "I have received word from HIM, and we must prepare for when they come." "I have been putting off getting ready for them because they were so far off, but if HE wishes it we must fulfill HIS will." "I want things ready by tomorrow, no slacking off even if you're up all night." "If it is not done you will be punished." "Now then other matters, it seems we have some unbelievers among us in town, HE wants them taken care of, so when things are prepared for the outlanders I want them sacrificed." "This concludes the meeting thanks you." With that Eli stepped down and walked up to Kairi as everyone left. "Hey." He said with a smile. "Are you ready to go have that talk I told you about?" She smiled, and shook her head. "Good." He smiled and offered his arm to her. She accepted it and they began to walk out of the field.

After a time of walking Kairi sighed. "So what did you wanna talk about?" She asked while looking at him. He cleared his throat again, and took a deep breath. "Well...I wanted to talk about....us." He looked nervous. Kairi looked surprised. "What do you mean us? She asked. He took another deep breath and looked at her. "How long have we been friends?" He felt very nervous now but continued with what he was going to do. Kairi thought for a moment, then answered. "Well since the day we were born I suppose." She looked at him as they continued to walk. "Why do you ask?" She raised her eyebrow. He stopped and stood in front of her. "Kairi....I was wondering.....if maybe we could....be more then friends?" At this she smiled, and placed her hands on her hips. "So that's what this is all about?" She smiled again. He swallowed afraid of rejection. She saw the worry on his face and giggled. "Well let me think about it for a moment." She turned around and laughed silently to her self.

After a minute or two she turned around, and had a look on her face as if she were going to say no, which caused him to look really hurt. Eli turned to leave, but just as he did she broke out into laughter. "Eli wait a minute." "If you're asking me to be your girlfriend. SURE!" He stopped in his place and turned around. "Really?" He asked as though he didn't hear her right. She walked up to him and smiled. "Yeah." "Eli you should know by now I never say things I don't mean." "Yes I'll be your girlfriend." With that they both smiled and headed back to their houses.

A/N: ok I know this chapter sucks, and I'm really sorry. I just got over a case of major writers block and I've been having trouble coming up with good ideas. Well I hope you liked it. Please read and review. Thanks! Flames are welcome but as I've said before they'll just be ignored.
