"Sora…?" Kairi barley had time to whisper this in an uncertain voice before he lunged at her, keyblade in full swing. She quickly dodge rolled to her left, scraping her elbow as she went. She ignored it.

"Why are you doing this, Sora?" She yelled as she took several steps back away from him. If she weren't so worried, her eyes might have teared, but there was no time to. To have someone you love instantly go insane and try to kill you was enough to make Kairi unfocused and shaky.

He slowly turned to look at her, his hair tangled and covering his face, giving him even more of an evil aura.

For a moment, nothing happened.

Then, suddenly, he started to charge at her. "STOP!" Kairi screamed, and instead of running away or dodging, she ran at him. Kairi grasped his keyblade as he was in mid-swing, which would have normally cut someone's arm off. Sora grunted and attempted to lift it up and make her let go of it, but she was relentless.

In one swift movement, she hurled the keyblade away from him and sent it flying towards the castle. This was sort of her plan, she figured that Sora would go after it and it would buy her time.

She was wrong.

Instead of turning and chasing his blade, he struck Kairi across the face, putting a cut in her cheek. She took a few steps back. She was so shocked that Sora had just hit her that she barely reacted to what happened next. She was too numb.

He hurled himself on top of her and knocked her to ground. She could have sworn she heard him laugh, but that might have just been her. She thought that he was going to hit her again, or kick her, or something, so she braced herself for the worst.

She was wrong. Again.

He kissed her.

She didn't realize what was happening at first. Thoughts raced through her brain at a hundred miles per second. From 'What the hell is going on?' to 'Oh, this was just some big joke, and he's gonna start laughing in a minute calling me a moron.' to 'Why isn't he stopping…?'

This kiss was nothing like any of the others. He was so much rougher, not even letting her breathe. After a few moments he started to yank on her hair, demanding more access.

Kairi pushed on his chest as hard as she could, but her muscles were so sore from carrying him and from stopping the keyblade that it hurt to try. Yet she did anyways. She grabbed both of his arms trying to get him to let go of her hair. He smacked her again, and this time grabbed both of her arms.

He finally broke the kiss when he did this, so she gasped for breath. "Stop… Sora!" She said in desperate voice in-between pants, but Sora didn't hear her. He wasn't even there anymore.

He went back to kissing her, but after a few moments he let go of her arms, he started to tear at her shirt. This was her chance.

Kairi used all of her strength and kneed him in the groin at full force. He recoiled from reaction, and she pushed him off of her, and rolled over as quickly as she could. Kairi scrambled to her feet, nearly tripping, and ran as quickly as she could to his keyblade. She picked it up and held it the way she held her swords. She turned to see that Sora was already up, and he looked almost completely recovered.

'Jesus….' Kairi thought. 'Doesn't that usually hurt them a lot more?' He glared at her, obviously a lot more pissed than he was a moment ago.

Kairi started to cry. "Sora… Sora stop…" She gasped, looking at Sora with tear-stained eyes. This seemed to touch a nerve of some form, because Sora paused.

His expression changed drastically, from one of pure hatred to one of sympathy.

His eyes, however, remained the icy blue. "Kai… Kairi?" He said quietly. He then suddenly clasped his hands to his head, like someone does when they have a horrible headache.

"..shit... Run!" He yelled. His voice was lower and raspier than usual.

Kairi didn't listen. "Sora! Are you okay?" Her voice was still shaky, though she was relived that he had stopped.

"I SAID RUN!" The hatred was back in his voice, and he snapped his head up to look at her. "NOW!"

Kairi stood there for a moment, contemplating whether she should stay or not. Fortunately, she didn't have to decide.

Someone suddenly appeared behind Sora, hovering in the air behind him. "Oh my, how ironic that you would end up here." He was wearing a black trench coat, and had spiky red hair. His eyes were a piercing green…it was Axel. (surprise surprise)

Sora snapped around to look at him. "Y-You… bastard…" Sora muttered through clenched teeth, sending him a death glare.

Axel shook his head. "Now, that's no way to treat someone who could save your sanity." He held a small glass bottle filled with blue liquid tauntingly. Sora seemed to flip out.

"Give me that!" He yelled, lunging forward and reaching for the bottle. He a mere inch away, but Axel pulled it out of his reach. "Ah ah ah." He said in a mocking voice. "No potion for you until you settle down like a good boy." His was smiling evilly, obviously enjoying himself.

"I'll show you- Where the hell is my keyblade?" Sora looked all over, before stopping himself in Kairi's direction. "No…." He mouthed as he looked at her.

Kairi was oblivious. "Please, sir, whoever you are, if that's the medicine he needs, give it to him, I'll do anything, please…" She fell to her knees, and wiped the tears away from her eyes. She barley noticed that Sora was running straight at her.

She looked up just in time to see him an inch from her, and reacted by falling backwards. 'Shit!' she thought, putting the keyblade up in a protective way. Luckily, the impact never came.

When she felt it was safe to open her eyes again, she saw that Axel was holding on to Sora from behind, he had obviously stopped him right before he got to her. "That's enough, little one…" He said with a sigh in his voice. Sora was struggling, but didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Axel put his hand under his jaw and turned his head to look up. He forced his mouth open, and poured the small amount of liquid down his throat. Sora instantly started to go limp in his arms, almost as if he fainted. Axel started to massage his throat for a minute, too, until he was sure Sora had swallowed it. He was completely out.

He dropped Sora to the ground, and clapped his hand together as if trying to get the dust off of them. "Well," he said, "THAT was fun."

Kairi crawled over to Sora, and put her arms around his sleeping body. He was breathing deeply and looked very relaxed.

"Is he going to be alright…?" Kairi, on the other hand, was still gasping for breath.

Axel's face got stern. "Yes, he'll be fine. He should wake up in about five minutes. Granted, he probably will forget most of this."

Kairi nodded and rested her head on his chest, the way she did on the trip here. She was relieved that he was going to be okay…

Axel almost felt pity for the poor girl as she lay there, thinking Sora was an amazing, perfect hero. Yet he gave a few more moments of believing that, after all, they would probably be her last.

After a couple minutes he spoke. "I have something important to tell you." Kairi jumped when he spoke, she had almost forgotten he was there.

She looked up. "Yes…?"

"Not here. I must tell you in the castle, it will be easier." He had stopped hovering and landed on the ground next to her.

"Are we going to wait until he wakes up?" She said, motioning to Sora.

"No." he said sternly. "This matter doesn't call for his presence. Only you are required."

"But-" Before she could argue, he grabbed her and picked her up, like a bride. "Hey! Put me down, I-!"

"Shhh… You'll wake him up. Oh, too late…" Sora had started to open his eyes, and was slowly coming to.

Axel turned to look at an angry Kairi. "Oh..." He said sympathetically. "He cut you…" he reached his hand out and stroked her cheek that had the cut on it. Kairi was momentarily frozen, she was in another state of shock where she couldn't think of what to do.

"Here, let me fix that…." He leaned in close to her and started to lap up the blood from the wound, and licked his lips very suggestively afterwards, giving a sexy smile. Kairi couldn't help but flush, but she was still mad. Before she yelled, however, Sora did. He had, ironically, just woken up in time to see it.

"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, What the HELL is going on? LET HER DOWN, NOW!" He shouted. Axel just laughed. "We'll be in the castle if you need us. You know, sharing secrets…." Sora's face looked horror-struck. "And maybe we'll even have some …fun... later…" He winked at Kairi.

"NOOO! You BASTARD, don't you DARE---!" Sora yelled, grabbing his keyblade, and getting ready to cast a spell. But when he turned, no one was there, and Axel's laugh was till eerily echoing in the surroundings.
