Wind~By The Six of Hearts

Chapter 10~Picking up the Peices

The words were like he had wrote them yesterday. Dear Kairi...

He thought his family was just going on vacation. He thought that they were taking all their stuff with them because it was going to be a long trip. He had no idea they were moving away. He found out the night before they left. His mom and dad had been talking about it, arugueing.

"That girl is a witch! She's a harbinger of death and destruction!" he yelled. His mom tried to calm him.

"It's fine dear. She's such a nice little girl. I mean, she's the same age as our Sora. How could she be so dangerous?"

"Her powers!! She'll destroy us all!! I just glad we're gettting out of here before it turns into a hell hole." Sora gasped. They weren't coming back? He was leaving his only friend behind? What powers was his dad talking about? But he decided that he should at least tell her they were going. He ran into his room and took out a pen and paper, carefully writting in his best writting. He didn't sign his name, for fear his dad may get his hands on it.

He banged his head against the wall as he sat against it. It was Kairi who had been his only friend. She had been here for him.

Dear Kairi...

When he met her again, he didn't remember her, but now it had just become all clear to him. And he could still the little girl Kairi had been so long ago. One look at her eyes and it told him all he wanted to know. It told him everything. They had really know each other nine years prior to the day he returned here. His mom didn't say that they'd lived here before.

Dear Kairi...

He looked at the letter. His dad now lived in another town with Sora's grandfather. They both hated him now. They were both the same- hating those with strange powers. Everyone at school made fun of him. The first day at this new school, he had heard Riku warn Kairi about him.

Dear Kairi...

Things had played out this way and he saw it all very clearly. 'If Kairi would rather be with him, fine. I don't care anymore. I don't care...' He slowly pulled on the old paper in his hands and was pleased when he heard the quiet sound of the paper breaking apart. Now it was in two peices. He ripped it again. Now it was four. Now eight. He would've ripped it again, but got a better idea. He decided to convey his message to Kairi.

~Don't try to live so wise.

Don't cry cause you're so right.

Don't dry with fakes or fears,

Cause you will hate yourself in the end.~

Kairi walked sorrowfully home. When she walked through her front door, she heard her mom in the kitchen.

"Kairi, it's awfully late. You know it's dangerous outside at night."

"Sorry mom. I was at Riku's house. Just had to clear up some stuff."

"Your friend Sora came by. He seemed pretty upset about something. Anyway, he said that this envolpe was for you." she said, handing Kairi a simple, unmarked envelope. Kairi took it and went up to her room, saying hi to her dad in the living room on her way up. She sat down on her bed and opened the envelope. To her shock, peices of aged paper flirted out of it. She gasped in horror when she saw that the paper had once been her precious note from her one true friend. The eight fragements of it were now scattered on her bed. How could he? 'Why Sora? How could you do this to my most precious possesion? I can't believe I left it at his house! I should've had it with me-taken better care of it. But I was careless. I left it at his house. No...'

"NO!!!" She screamed as she picked up the torn peices carefully, as though each were a newborn baby. Cradleing them gently, she ran downstairs into the kitchen. "Mom! Sora ripped up my letter!!!"

"Kairi, calm down! What happened?" Kairi's mom pulled out a chair at the round table for her and went to get her daughter a cup of water. Kairi gratefully excepted the drink and took a huge gulp before calming down.

"I left my letter at Sora's house by mistake. It was in the evenlope, put in peices!" she wailed. Her mother just hugged her and told her it would be alright.

"Let's see it. It's only been ripped into eight peices. You can tape it back together, and then it'll be good as new. I'll get you some tape. Do you me to help?" Kairi shook her head.

"No, I'll do it by myself."

"Why would he have done this? He seemed like such a nice boy. He took care of you and all...did you do something to make him mad?" Kairi thought about this and felt even worse. But why would Sora get this upset? Maybe she made him feel unwanted. That was so far from the truth! Kairi wanted Sora around- he made her feel like it was okay to trust again, something her other friends couldn't do. He showed her she wasn't alone. He had cared for her without expecting anything in return. He had made her feel protected, safe...even loved. And he never wanted anything in return. He had gone the limit, getting beaten up by Riku, just for her, never expecting her to think of him as a hero or praise him.

She took the peices and a roll of tape up to her room. Spreading the peices out on her desk she slowly tried to fit them together again. It was hard, but soon, all the words lined up perfectly. She gently taped them all together, and then folded it and placed it in her safest desk drawer. She then flopped herself down on her bed.

'Sora...I can't stop thinking about you...why?' She stared at her blank ceiling.

Sora, at his house, was also staring at a ceiling- the ceiling of his music room, trying to find music on his piano with his fingers. Finally, a slow melodic melody came to mind, and he gently play the soft lulaby like tune. His mind was filled to bursting, and his thoughts were all mix together like spilled paint.

'Kairi...'

END Chapter 10------------

6H: Oh! The end of chapter 10. Was that too short. I know chapter 9 was very short. Sort of sad what Sora did, but he's upset, and he didn't make it impossible to fix.

Kairi: I hate you Sora! I'll never forgive you!

Sora: NO! Kairi, I can explain!!!!

Anaretsu: Oh dear. See what you did, baka?!

6H: Not my fault!!!
