Emarist the Torturer: i know, i know, but there is k/h interaction in this one! enjoy!

Kirta-leigh: yes! you got it! anyways details on his memory and black side coming soon!

"Hey, you ok?"

Isaac(dj, 'member?) came over and sat down at the bar in front of Kairi.

"Mmmhmm."

"Liar. Really, you've been bouncing up and down over your new botfriend for the last month, and now you're...well...the way you were before he cam along."

He paused, and then his eyes widened.

"He didn't break up with you, did he? If he did, then just forget him! You deserve better than that! You want Jay to beat him up for you?""

Kairi shook her head.

"He didn't break up with me. I'm fine, ok? Don't worry, I'm just sorta tired."

'Dreamed about Mom and Dad last night...Again...Been doing that a lot lately ...'

"Alright...But if you want to talk, Jay and I are both here for you, ok?"

"Ok. Thanks, Isaac."

"No problem babe"

And with that he went back to whatever he was doing before he came to talk to her.

Kairi sighed and laid her head down on the bar.

'He should show up again...like he did that first time. I need to get out of here...Do something. Anything. Please come and get me out of here...'

(note ok, let's say haru and kairi have been going out for about...2 months? 6 weeks? something like that. i couldn't work it into the chapter, so i'm just putting it here.)

He didn't, though. But there was a message from him when she got home. She threw her coat and purse on a chair and ran to the phone.

"Hey, Kairi. Uhm, it's about...uh...maybe, 7:00? Anyway, you said you were getting off work early today, and if you aren't to tired, do you want to go get something to eat? Call me back when you get this. Love you baby. Bye."

beep

'Yes!'

Kairi thought, her mood improving already. She picked up the phone, dialed his number, and 20 minutes later they were walking inot the restaurant where he'd taken her on their first date.

"So, how was your day? You sem kinda...tired..."

Haru said.

They were sitting across from eachother.

"It was ok..Yeah, I didn't sleep very well, but I'm alright. Jay smashed I saac's foot in the door. He was so pissed! It was pretty funny though."

Haru chuckled a little. He'd met Jason and Isaac, and they all got along pretty well. He didn't have a lot of money, though, and Kairi's boss had already said that he couldn't ust come and talk to her. Not allowed. So they hadn't had a lot of time to get to know eachother. He still hadn't met Sarah, either.

"Yeah, my day was good. How about you? How's your job going?"

He'd finally found a music store that was hiring.

"It's alright. My boss is a total bitch, though. Doesn't like my hair. Which doesn't make a lot of sense, considering half of the people who come in there look like me. Apparently it's 'intimidating and ridiculous(sp?)' Can't make me change it, though, so it's ok."

Kairi laughed.

"People don't seem to take to your hair, do they?" Oh well, I think it's hot."

"Thanks. But it makes it difficult to get a job. Whatever, I don't really mind."

Their conversation continued, they ate, and(once again. I'm repeating myself) wound up at Kairi's place.

"Hey,...Uhm...Do you want to come in for a while?"

She asked nervously.

(believe it or not, they haven't screwed yet)

He smiled a little bit.

"Yeah, ok."

(author speaking: alright, i am NOT making a lemon, so you'll just have to imagine how it goes yourselves. thank you for your patience. author is done speaking)

And Kairi fell asleep happily in Haru's arms.
