Chapter Eight: I do NOT love her!

Kairi's POV

I woke up, got dressed and went outside, like always. As I was walking, Riku ran up to me.

"Hi Riku." I said waving.

"Hi Kairi, am I insane?" He asked.

"Well, you don't like to beat around the bush. Why would you ask that?" I said.

"Ok, so last night, it was late and I woke up and Marina…" He started than I cut him off.

"Um…" I said.

"No. No! NO! Don't go perverted on me!" He said. "So, Marina woke up screaming and that woke me up. I went down stairs to see what was wrong. And she told me her mother died. Then I went back upstairs and thought about how upset she was, and then I thought that she looked beautiful when she was upset and…"

"Wait, back up. You thought what?" I said.

"That she looked pretty when she was upset. But what does that have to do with…" He said.

"I don't think you're crazy: I think you're sick." I said.

"Sick?" He asked.

"Love sick to be exact." I said and Riku made a gagging noise.

"I do not…" He said but was cut off by Selephie saying, "Do not what?"

"Riku's just in love with the new girl." I said matter-of-factly.

"That's soooo cute!" Selephie said. "Can I plan the wedding?"

"As long as I pick out the bride's dress." I said.

"Back up, slow down, now who said anything about any of that?" He said trying to hide the fact he was blushing like crazy.

"We did!" Selephie and I said in unison.

"But first things first…" Selephie began.

"You have to tell her!" I finished.

"I don't have time for this…" He said in a flat tone.

"C'mon! Humor us." Said Selephie.

"NO!" He yelled.

"No what?" Said a familiar voice from behind him.

"Sora, we where just talking abo…" I said but Riku put a hand over my mouth.

"We where talking about how Riku has a…" Selephie fell victim to the same fate as me.

Sora coked an eyebrow but Riku just smiled and dragged Selephie and I away.

When we where out of earshot, Riku took his hands off our mouths and said, "If you tell anyone about this I will kick you're…"

"So you admit you like her." Selephie said.

"I… you… I… ugh!" He said and stomped off.

"You heard what he said, right?" I said.

"Yep, he said we can't tell anyone." Selephie said.

"I'll go get the paper." I said and ran of giggling.

Riku's POV

'I can't believe those girls! How can they go around saying stuff like that! I sear, if I hear them saying anything else like that, I'll kill them!' I thought but my thoughts where interrupted.

"Hey, Riku, What where Selephie and Kairi talking about?" Sora asked.

"Oh… t-that w-was not-thing." I stuttered.

"Doesn't sound like nothing." Sora said.

"I said nothing, it was nothing, Okay?" I said.

"C'mon, I'm you friend, tell me." He begged.

"No!" I yelled.

"Oh, C'mon! You told the girls, why not me?" He said.

"NO!" I yelled, yet again.

"No what?" Marina said.

'You just HAD to do that, didn't you FMO?' I thought.

"Um… Look! A heartless!" I yelled.

"Where!" Marina and Sora yelled together. I ran off.

"Hey!" Marina yelled and started to run after me.

"Fire!" I heard her yell then, in front of me appeared a wall completely mage out of fire.

"Where did you learn that?" I asked.

"From my dad." She said matter-of-factly.

"I thought your dad never spent time with you." I said.

"Yes, but I did see him fight and I learned from that. Wait, when did I say that?" She said.

"Three days ago…" I said curiously.

"Really, I don't remember." She said with a surprised tone. "What else did I say?"

"Um, something about no friends and you where never let out of the palace." I said.

"Well, I wasn't ever let out, but I did have one friend. She was the daughter of a servant. We would always sing together. We annoyed everyone!" She said. "Well I guess I was saying weird stuff because I hit my head in the ocean, don't ever swim by coral, not fun."

"Okaaaay." I said slowly, "Um… What's your kingdom like?"

"Oh, um, it's very… nice. Yeah it's nice. I can see it all from my balcony… Yeah, that's it." She said very suspiciously.

"Who's your father, then?" I enquired.

"He's a guy, who is… a guy." She smiled. "Um… Look at the time! Gotta go to bed, ok, bye!" She said and ran off.

"It's only two in the afternoon." I said and chased after her.

At Riku's house…

Marina ran to my room and closed the door, unknowingly leavening it open a crack so I looked in. I saw her plop down on my bed, gasping for breath. Then she got up and closed the curtains. She sat back on the bed and looked over her shoulders. In a flash of light, wings appeared on her back, one white and one black. I gasped quietly and closed the door as silently as possible.

"I get it now…" Came a voice from behind me, I turned around to see no other than Sora.

"You like her, huh?" He said.

"I-I don't!" I said, trying not to stutter.

"Uh-hu. Right…" He said sort of mockingly. "Whatever you say…"

"Could you just leave me alone?" I said.

"If you insist, but I'm sure she won't be happy about you peeping on her." He said and ran away.

I knocked on the door.

"Uh… Just a minute." She yelled.

"It's ok. I know." I said.

Without a moments hesitation she pulled me in the room and closed the door.

"Listen, its ok if you think I'm weird, and if you don't like me anymore but…" She said looking at the floor.

"Hey, I didn't say that. It's actually really cool that you have a wing." I said.

"Really, do you think the others will mind?" She asked.

"No, they will probably think it's awesome too." I said.

"Well, don't tell them until I do, ok?" She asked.

"Ok, I promise." I said.

"Thanks!" She almost yelled then ran up and kissed me on the cheek.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"I dunno, but I'm a princess and I felt like it so there ya go, that's my explanation." She said.

Authors mindless rambling…
