AN: Two updates in a day! I'm on a roll! Driven by a reviewer and since I had the time to spare, why not? My holidays are here so most probably I will be updating as much as possible. However after the one-week break, I will probably tone down due to my final exams. Hmm... Good way to brush up my English though.

Disclaimers: Kingdom Hearts doesn't belong to me. It belongs to Square Enix and so on and so forth... Their games simply rawks!

A teeny-weeny bit of SoraKairi. But they are not a couple.

2. Unexpected Coincidence

Phew! Escape from Sora's clutches!

Kairi had escorted Sora to his new room since he was expressing fear over the fact that bricks instead of homely wooden walls and cozy straw roof surrounded him. On the excuse of needing constant reassurance so as to feel safe, Kairi had to give in to Sora once again and play along.

Sora, obviously, had other things in mind. Kairi would be a good helper to unpack his things... And naïve Kairi was tricked into the lion's den! Free slave...

However, Sora had underestimated Kairi. After years of experience with him, Kairi could see through Sora easily. Once in the room, Sora lunged his entire luggage onto one of the beds before collapsing onto the other one with his limbs outstretched and eyes shut tight in exhaustion.

Yikes... That's tons of unpacking to do! Better make my escape while I can...

And she did. While Sora was enjoying his comfort after long hours of traveling, Kairi managed to tiptoe out of the room stealthily.

"Yawn... I'm dead beat... Kairi? Maybe you can help me out for a bit. Sort my stuff and place them in the respective places... Kairi? Kairi?"

Sora opened his eyes groggily and glanced around the puny room. No Kairi. Nope... She had escaped!

Guess I just have to settle this myself... I'll go look her up later in her room...

Eyeing the lump of luggage, Sora grunted in disdain, wondering what kind of junk his mother had emptied into his garbage bag. Some interesting stuff indeed. Embarrassed, Sora threw all down the window...

Although it was quite obvious Sora was living off Kairi, he was not a freeloader. The problem was in fact because the two of them were so close, being childhood friends. They had known each other for almost all their life, resulting in interdependence on each other even from a tender age. There were times when Sora assisted her, and made her smile when she was down. Both knew they could not reject each other requests because of the closeness they shared. However, it was high time for Sora to learn some kind of independence.

Sigh... Sora is just so likable...

Somehow, Kairi managed to tug her bag along to her room at the first floor. Fumbling in her pocket, Kairi dug out the card key and opened the door.

Her room was so much better than Sora's! Privileges for girls maybe? Although the size was about the same, there were flowers all around the room to beautify the otherwise dull room and lightening the atmosphere to a livelier environment.

Wait till Sora sees this! I can already imagine his pouting face...

A flush was suddenly heard coming from the bathroom, bringing Kairi back to reality from her thoughts.

My roommate! Wonder who she is?

Out from the bathroom was a lithe girl dressed in pink dress with a dark pink shirt. She had an oversized ribbon tied on her silky brown hair. The girl had a calm and amiable aura emitting from her, and a perpetual smile on her beautiful face. She was just what every women want to be! With a pleasant look and enticing green eyes. Even from her widening of smile upon meeting Kairi, it could be told she was very lady-like.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Aerith. How about you?"

Looks like someone worth interacting with... It will be so much more fun having such a person for a roommate!

"Name's Kairi! Pleased to meet you too!"

They just hit on right away. Time was needed to nurture a good friendship but between them, they just became good friends in an instance. Maybe it was Kairi's enthusiasm. Maybe it was Aerith's amiable and understanding self. But no doubt it was both of them that allowed the fast blossoming of the friendship. They could just keep chatting on and on if not for some unpacking to do. Nevertheless, they were doing much better than some others struggling to adapt to their new environment...

Even without having to ask for help, Aerith offered assistance to Kairi for unpacking her things.

Sora... If you have the same sort of helpfulness like Aerith... I would have like you better...

With Aerith's help, things were settled fast enough. Since there was still much time before turning in for the night, Aerith asked Kairi whether she want to help her to decorate the balcony with her flowers.

So she was the one decorating the hole up! And I thought the school was so kind. Jeeze!

Feeling energetic, Kairi responded positively and went to help Aerith out. It was really great to live on the first floor! Only on ground level were there balconies. Too bad for Sora once again! He must really be cooped up in the room without any opening space for a breather.

With flowers in her hands, Kairi went around putting them in corners of the balcony as instructed by Aerith. In a short while, a shriek was heard.

"Yuck! Look what I found in our balcony!" Aerith exclaimed out of the blue.

Kairi hurriedly rushed to Aerith, not that the balcony was humongous and need to rush so as to reach Aerith faster. In fact, just a few steps of rushing and Kairi reached her... But there was this sense of urgency, as if something was threatening her new friend and she needed to help her out.

"Some perv above must have thrown it down here! We better go to the room above to find out who is the creep!"

Aerith was pointing accusingly at a garment, a bra, and a manual that titled " How to control sexual urge without presence of dear Mum". Hand written by? "Dear Mummy Melia"! The name struck something in Kairi's mind, and she tilted his head up in deep thought. Kairi then let out a horrified gasp.

What will Aerith think if she discovers these things belongs to my best pal?

It appeared Sora's room was directly above them.

Such coincidence.

Sora needed some good explanation to worm out of this one...

AN: Twisted Truths thanks for ya support! And yeah, you are the first reviewer! Hope I will be able to live up to all your expectations. Thanks again for your positive review on my fic. It is really a great gesture since this is the first time I received a review (first time doing a fic though) and it's a nice one! Really was extremely elated. Hell... It even stopped me from going to my usual biking trip and instead glued myself to my chair writing the next chapter.

More reviews on how to improve, comments and from people I adore will be much appreciated. Anyway I want to salute authors like RPgirl, Falaphesian and Uzumaki-sama for their wonderful stories! Though it is saddening RPgirl's "Let me love you" had ended... So as for Falaphesian whose "One for the band" is going to end soon! Readers, please go check those fics out, they are amazingly good!
