I was about to make THIS chapter the last one but I wanted to add a little more...
Shall this be SK or not? You shall find out in the next(and last) chapter....muahahahaha!
Well, uh, enjoy...?
----------------------
I wiped away a tear with my thumb.
"Aww, Kairi! It's not...uh, entirely your fault!" Selphie said, trying to cheer me up. I chuckled slightly. 'Of course it was my fault...'
"Listen, Selphie, the reason I came over here was to apologize," I stated, wiping away another tear,"So sorry."
Selphie shook her head,"Nah. It's okay. I'm sorry, too."
Selphie offered me a tissue. She pushed it in front of my face and I took it.
"So, Kairi."
"Yeah?"
"He loves you..."
"So!?"
I began to feel angry again. Uncontrollable tears streamed down my cheeks and fell down on the floor, making a small puddle.
"So, didn't you like Aladdin?"
"Geez, Selph, are you trying to make me feel better or worse!?"
Selphie slightly cringed,"No, no! I'm trying to make you feel better! I'm just saying that, you said so yourself you liked this Aladdin, who turned to be Sora...soooo--"
"No, I do not, and will not, like Sora. I liked Aladdin, not Sora."
"Whatever you say, Kairi. Whatever you say..."
Selphie grinned and put her hands behind her head. I gave her a small glare, but smiled.
"Well, I'm going to go now," I said, standing up. I stretched and made my way towards the door. "See ya."

[Kairi's House]
I layed on my bed, my head was underneath my pillow. I was still crying, yet, I didn't know why. I did like Aladdin- a lot. But when I found out it was Sora, I started to hate him. Do I really have feelings for Sora?
I shook my head. No, I hate him. He lied to me. He tricked me. He doesn't really like me.
He loves you.
I growled at the small voice in my head, my inner conscience, and took the pillow off my head and threw it across the room.
"You got mail!"
I growled, once again, and banged my head on the mattress. (a/n:Don't ask me how the computer got turned on) It's probably from Alad--Sora. I didn't want to speak with that heartbreaker.
But he loves you.
"Shut up, inner conscience," I said aloud to myself.
"You got mail!"
He loves you.
Why? Why!? He doesn't love me. He loved to fool me. He loved lying to me. He--
He loved you.
Again, I banged my head, but this time on he wall.
Check the mail.
I can't check the mail! He's going to fool me again!
I didn't know why, but I got up from the bed.
"You got mail!"
You know you want to check the mail.
I bit my lip. To check or not to check? I sighed.
"Okay, might as well. He sent me three mails. I'll check the first one."
I found the courage to even walk over to the computer and sit down.
To:PaopuPrincess(at)hiya.com
Subject:I'm sorry
Message:
Kairi, I'm sorry for what I've done. I really am truly sorry. Forgive me?
I glared at the screen. Forgive him? No way.
To:PaopuPrincess(at)hiya.com
Subject:I'm really sorry
Message:
Man, I know you're reading this. Can you at least reply? I told you: I'm really sorry! I love you. I know you don't really hate me...okay, maybe you do, but not that much! Reply?
I smirked. Begging for forgiveness. Thats what he is doing.
To:PaopuPrincess(at)hiya.com
Subject:Greeting sent from NobodysRomeo(at)blah.com
I blinked. He gave me a greeting. I opened the screen to a new window. I smiled as another tear rolled down my cheek. The greeting had a huge puppy with glistening eyes and it held a sign that said "I'M SORRY"in its mouth.
Forgive him.
I shook my head. That was really sweet of him but I can't forgive him.
-DING DONG-
My head perked. I ran downstairs and opened the door. A man, with a rather large beard, held a clipboard and a box of pizza in his hand. He grinned and pushed the pizza towards my hands.
"Here ya go! Already paid for," The man said, and turned around. I took the pizza in one hand and grabbed the man's shoulder.
"Hey, I didn't order any pizza!" I said, pushing the pizza toward him. He shook his head and pushed it back.
"No, no, no! You must've ordered it! It said to come here and deliver the pizza. And, well, I'm delivering the pizza, so here ya go!" The man replied, shoving the pizza. I pushed it back.
"I don't know who called you guys, but I did not order any pizza!" I said angrily. The man gave the pizza another shove and shrugged.
"Well, somebody ordered it," The man sternly said. I gave up. I glanced at his long beard.
"Uh...you don't make the pizza, do you?" I asked.
"Nope, I just deliver," The pizza man said, and walked towards his pizza delivery car. I sighed. I opened the box of pizza and smiled. In M&Ms, the words "I'M SORRY" were printed across the pizza. I chuckled.
"Sora's never gonna give up, is he?" I said, rolling my eyes, and I walked into the house, slamming the door shut. I placed the box of pizza on the kitchen counter. I am not going to eat it. No matter what he does, I am not going to forgive him.
Eat it...eat it!
I shook my head. Though, my inner conscience tempted me to eat it. I couldn't help it, I mean, I didn't eat until yesterday! I lunged toward the pizza and devoured it.

[The Next Day]
I arrived at school and met up with Selphie. We were friends again. I sighed as I walked into class. 'Sora better not be here...'
But he was here. Torture, torture. All day, he'll probably just beg for forgiveness. He sat in his seat, not glancing at me even once. I sat behind him. 'Man, why do I always have to sit behind him!?'
"Hello, class," Mrs. Moon said, sitting in her chair,"Did you-ooo-ooo all remember that your essay, about the best thing that has ever happened to you-ooo-ooo, is due-ooo-ooo tomorrow?"
"Yes, Mrs. Moon," The class lied.
"Good," Mrs. Moon said, smiling. I sighed and slumped into my seat. I didn't even start on the essay.
"Psstt...Kairi, we need to talk," I heard Sora whisper to me. I glared at him.
"No we don't," was all I said.
"Fine, whatever. All I wanted to tell you is that I'm moving to a new island tomorrow. I'll be gone forever. I bet you're happy about that."
He seemed really depressed, he never turned around to take a look at me. He just kept staring forward.
You don't want Sora to leave, do you?
"Shut up, conscience," I said to myself softly. In a way, I really didn't want Sora to move...I feel guilty now. He's moving just because of me...
Stop him. Don't let him move.
No, I'll let him go. Who cares.
You do.
I do not.
"Class, what is 2,910,120 plus 6,154,094?" Mrs. Moon asked. I rolled my eyes. Another random question. I glanced at Sora, who, surprisingly, didn't have his hand raised. My jaw dropped down. He's always the one answering those stupid random questions! Always. I was really surprised, and so was Mrs. Moon and the whole class.
Mrs. Moon seemed a bit nervous.
"Sora? Do you-ooo-ooo know the answer?" Mrs. Moon asked, hoping that Sora would say 'yes'.
"No," Sora mumbled, he was playing around with his pencil. My eyes widened.
"Oh, well does anybody else know-oh-oh?" Mrs. Moon said, smiling nervously. Everybody started to whisper to the person they sat next to. I shrugged and raised my hand. 'Well, why not give it a try?'
"Yes, Kairi?"
"Is the answer 9,064,214?" I asked. Mrs. Moon smiled.
"Yes, Kairi! It is," she replied. I smiled. 'Wow, did I just answer a question correctly?'
Everybody around me seemed surprised, but not as surprised as me!
---
After school, I managed to drag myself over to my house. Boy, I was tired. P.E was tough and tiring. We had to run five miles. Arriving home, I walked into my room and fell on my bed. I yawned. I'm going to take a nice, long nap--
"You got mail!"
My eye twitched. I yawned again and crawled over to the chair near the computer.
To:PaopuPrincess(at)hiya.com
Subject:...
Message:
Do you forgive me?
I couldn't give in and say 'Yes, I forgive you.'
Just give in. You love him, too.
No I don't.
Yes you do. You just don't know it.
Shut UP, conscience. I couldn't help but smile, though. Sora was so sweet, yet, I hate him for what he did. Did he do because he really loved me?
Yes, now just give in and say you love him, too.
I shook my head. 'Well, I should at least thank him...'
Without thinking, I clicked the 'reply' icon. I started to panic. Oh God, what did I just do!? Oh man, oh man, oh man. 'Kairi, you idiot, just close the window.'
Don't close the window. Reply.
I did what I thought I had no courage to do. I did what my stupid conscience told me to do.
I replied...
To:NobodysRomeo(at)blah.com
Subject:Re. - ...
Message:
No, I don't forgive you. Meet me by the small paopu isle around 10 o' clock.
and I clicked the 'Send' icon. 'What have I done? I'm meeting him again!? Why couldn't I just thank him in the e-mail!?'
Because you love him.
I growled. I do NOT love him.
"You got mail!"

Subject:Re. - ...
Message:
Oh, okay...
and that was all he wrote. Guilt was what I was feeling. Not sadness, not anger. Guilt. He was so depressed today...
You love him.
My conscience seemed to love taunting me. I was getting annoyed. My emotions will not interefere with me...I think...
Truly, do you think you can hide your feelings any longer?
Sighing, I turned off the computer and dragged myself over to my bed. I nuzzled my pillow and took my long awaited nap.
---
My eyes fluttered open and my head shot up. I glanced at the clock. 9:52 PM. I yawned. I slept for hours and I'm still sleepy. I walked over to my closet and got dressed. My attire was made of blue jeans, a white blouse, and a black jacket that said 'Princess' in pink on the back.
I walked downstairs and put on my sandals. Was I really going to meet Sora yet again?
Yes, you are.
I nodded, actually agreeing with my conscience, and opened the door and got out. I strolled down the sidewalk, ignoring all of my surroundings. My pace was quite slow. This time, I wasn't worried about meeting Sora. I wasn't scared. I felt a little excited. Maybe I will forgive him...despite the fact that he's lied to me.
Oh God, now what are these feelings? I'm tangled in my own emotions. Do I love him? Am I angry with him? That, I didn't know. I kicked a small pebble to the side.
Nothing is going to distract me from going to that isle. Not my inner conscious, not Selphie's house, which I was passing by right now, and definately not being scared of what might happen. Oh how I wish I didn't say that. Now I was worrying about what might happen. I bit my lip and shuddered. I'm sure nothing bad will happen...
I rubbed my hands together, for I felt a bit cold. I glanced at my watch on my right hand. 10:07 PM.
"Oh no!" I said aloud,"I'm late!"
I began to run. Sure, I was only seven minutes late, but it was getting a lot darker.
I ignored the fact that people were staring at me, wondering where I was going to in a rush. I didn't care.
'Almost there...' I thought.
---
I panted as I climbed up the ladder. Man, was I running fast. I reached the top and spotted a figure sitting on the paopu tree.
"Sora?" I called out. The figure's head turned to face me.
"It's me," the figure -Sora- replied, and turned his head back. He stared up at the sky, staring up at the glistening moonlight and the blazing stars. The stars weren't on fire, but it seemed to glow so beautifully.
"Mind if I sit here?" I asked, and hopped on the tree without waiting for Sora's reply. I edged closer to him and, too, stared up at the sky,"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Not as beautiful as you."
I looked up at Sora and blinked. The light of the moon seemed to kiss his tan skin. His eyes glistened. I edged closer to him.
"Hey, the reason I told you to come is that I wanted to thank you. You know, for the greeting and the pizza," I said, and added,"and I forgive you, I guess."
Sora closed his eyes and dropped his head,"I'm sorry."
"Yeah, I know. You told me that like a million times."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
I rolled my eyes and playfully punched him on the shoulder and said,"Oh, er, I'm sorry for, uh, hitting you yesterday."
He chuckled,"Didn't hurt that much."
"Are you saying I'm weak?"
"Yes."
We laughed and I gave him a little push. Sora suddenly stopped laughing.
"Kairi..." He said, his voice trailed off.
"Huh? What?"
I turned my head to look at him. He leaned closer to me and our lips met. I was a little surprised by this action. I didn't pull away. It felt nice. We closed our eyes and I wrapped my arms around his neck, as he put his arms around my waist. To my surprise, my tongue found its way Sora's mouth..
This moment felt ever so passionate. My hands ruffled up his hair even more. I wished this moment could last forever.
Forever...what a long time...
Suddenly, Sora pulled away.
"Whats wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing. It's just that this is my last day with you," he replied, staring at the swaying ocean. The ocean, too, was beautiful and dark. The moon's reflection only made it more mysterious and awe.
"Last day? What do you mean!?"
"I told you:I'm moving to a new island."
"What!? Are you serious!?"
"Yeah..."
"Aw, this is all my fault, huh!?"
"No, it's not. My parents just decided to move. It's not like I have a choice; I have to go..."
"Can't you convince them to stay!?"
"I tried. They didn't listen."
I felt tears stream down my cheeks. This is the last day I'm spending with Sora.
"Sora..."
"Hmm?"
"I think I love you, too."
Sora's eyes widened; he didn't expect me to say that.
"Sorry, but I have to go."
"B-but--"
"I'll always love you, too, and always will."
Sora stood up. He made his way towards the ladder. I jumped off the tree and grabbed his hand.
"Can't you stay longer?"
"No, because my dad gets really angry at me for staying up all night late. And when he gets mad, he gets really mad."
I bit my lip,"Well...so this is goodbye?"
"No. This is goodbye, not farewell....or well, the other way around."
"Wait, isn't that the same thing?"
"Not really."
I sniffed and gave him a hug. My forehead rested on his chest. I blinked back tears.
Sora pulled away and wiped my tears with his thumb.
"Don't cry.." was all he said. Sora walked away toward the Paopu tree and climbed onto the tree. I cocked my head in confusion. He reached for what I think was a...leaf? No, why would he reach for a leaf!?
He grabbed the thing he intended to grab, jumped off the tree, and ran to me. In his hands layed a Paopu fruit.
"They say," Sora said,"If you share the Paopu fruit with some one you really care for, they'll remain in each other's hearts- and their destinies become intertwined."
Sora carefully ripped the legendary fruit in half, handing me a piece. I smiled and took the piece. Sora opened his mouth to take a bite, but I quickly grabbed his arm.
"Wait! Are you sure you really want to share it with me?" I asked.
"Of course I do. I really care for you..." He replied. I smiled and let go of his arm.
"I really care for you, too."
And we took a bite out of the fruit.

Author's Notes: Hrm, not as fluffy as I wanted it to be. =/ Me bad fluff writer. X.x; Yuppers.
Lol, I made Kairi seem like a pig about the pizza part. I got that idea from the movie 'The Princess Dairies', if you were wondering. If I got the legend of the Paopu fruit thing wrong...don't blame me! I haven't played KH in months! I remember it was something similar to that. I will edit this chapter if I really did do it wrong. You can tell me if I did in your review =)
Thanks to YuToMe for correcting my spelling mistake.
Sorry, will not be answering last reviews for the last chapter this time. But I will eventually. Next chapter will be extremely short (Well, not that short. Just shorter than the other chapters I've written) and should come out sometime next week or maybe this week. -shrugs-
Please review! You'll make me very happy if you do! The more reviews I get, the quicker the next chapter comes!
