Disclaimer: Disney owns Kenai, Koda and everyone else in the movie. I only own the list of characters in my ff profile.

Koda kept staring at Ken'ichi, who was glaring at him. Ken'ichi has developed hatred to Koda; he blamed Koda for the death of his father.

No…it wasn't my fault…, Koda thought as he stared at the glaring Ken'ichi, but why do I feel like it was?

Chapter 3: I know how you feel…

"Ken'ichi…I know how you feel."
Koda said to Ken'ichi, trying to calm him down.
"But you gotta believe me; I didn't want this to happen."

"You don't have any idea how I feel!"
Ken'ichi cried to Koda, tears sliding down his face.
"It's your fault he's gone!"

Koda slowly shook his head.
"I didn't mean to, I didn't even…"

"Shut up!"
Ken'ichi cut him off.

"But I can help you!"
Koda cried to Ken'ichi, almost shouting.

"How can you help me?!"
Ken'ichi shouted at him.
"I don't even have anyone else to go now that my father is gone!"
Ken'ichi sniffed, trying to suck away his tears.
"You're not thinking of taking care of me are ya?! You can barely take care of yourself!"

Koda began to think, how can he help Ken'ichi? Besides, I have to go to the salmon run to meet with Kenai there. Maybe I can ask Kenai if he's willing to have another little brother, Koda continued to think, Wait…That's it!

"The salmon run!"
Koda cried happily.

Ken'ichi kept glaring at Koda; he was just a few seconds away from tackling Koda for that sudden cry of happiness.

"I'm heading to the salmon run!"
Koda told Ken'ichi.
"Why don't you come with me?"

Koda began to smile, if he brought Ken'ichi with him to the salmon run, he would find someone who can take care of Ken'ichi, even find the rest of his family. That would sure be a good way of saying sorry for his father's death. But he didn't told Ken'ichi about that, he wanted to be a surprise. And by the way Koda sees Ken'ichi; he's younger than him, so Koda would be taking the role of Kenai in this journey.

"No!"
Koda's smile dropped when Ken'ichi cried those words.
"I'm not going with you to the salmon run!"

Ken'ichi walked closer to Koda and looked at him straight in the eye.
"I hate you for this! You don't know how I feel! And you're just saying this so you won't go alone and ditch me when we get there!"

"No, you got it all wrong."
Koda told Ken'ichi, walking back.

"I know how you feel…"

"I'm not going with you!"
Ken'ichi cut Koda off again.

"You're not even letting me talk!"
Koda cried to Ken'ichi, almost losing his cool.

"I don't care!"
Ken'ichi walked past Koda.

"How can you even help someone without knowing how they feel?!"

(Soft music starts playing)

"Ken'ichi!"
Koda ran past Ken'ichi and stopped right in front of him.

"Look through my eyes…"
Koda and Ken'ichi stared at each other right in the eye.
"I know how you feel."

There are things in life you'll learn and
In time you'll see

Ken'ichi just shook his head slowly and walked around Koda. Koda just looked at Ken'ichi walking away, but he's not giving up.

Cause out there somewhere
It's all waiting
If you keep believing

Ken'ichi kept walking and stopped at the top of a hill, where you can see a beautiful meadow full of flowers and trees. Koda slowly walked to Ken'ichi and stopped next to Ken'ichi.

So don't run, don't hide
It will be all right
You'll see, trust me
I'll be there watching over you

Ken'ichi turned his head to see Koda. He glared at Koda; he wanted to get rid of him. But after watching that glare, Koda only said to him one thing, "Just trust me Ken'ichi…"

Just take a look through my eyes (Through my eyes)
There's a better place
somewhere out there

Ken'ichi scoffed at Koda and walked down the hill. He stopped in front of a broken down tree and noticed Koda still following him. Koda just want to help Ken'ichi in any way he can, but Ken'ichi keeps rejecting his offer.

Just take a look through my eyes (Through my eyes)
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find (There's a better place)
If you look through my eyes

Ken'ichi, trying to lose Koda, jumps over the broken tree and runs up a hill, goes through a cave and stops in the middle of another meadow.

He catches his breath, and hopes that he lost Koda. But Koda is a nibble bear, he followed well. When Ken'ichi turned around, he gasps to see Koda walking out of the cave he ran through. He sighed in frustration of this bear's persistence.

There will be times on this journey
All you'll see is darkness

Koda just looked at Ken'ichi with a sad look in his eyes.

Out there somewhere daylight finds you
If you keep believing

What's going on with Ken'ichi that's giving him more pain than the death of his father? There's something extra giving Ken'ichi pain, more pain than he should receive from his father's death.

So don't run, don't hide
It will be all right
You'll see, trust me
I'll be there watching over you

Koda ran down the hill and met with Ken'ichi, who's just sitting down, trying to suck up tears. Koda sat next to Ken'ichi.

"Ken'ichi, I know exactly how you feel. I lost my mom just like you lost your dad…"
Koda said to Ken'ichi, and tears started to roll down Koda's face as he remembered that day.

Just take a look (take a look) through my eyes (Look through my eyes)
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look through my eyes (Look through my eyes)
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find (There's a better place)
If you look through my eyes

Ken'ichi looked at Koda and gave a sigh.
"What are we gonna do when we get there?"

All the things that you can change
There's a meaning in everything
And you will find all you need
There's so much to understand

Koda raised his head and his face lightened up. What Ken'ichi asked was a conformation of joining him to the salmon run.

Take a look (Take a look) through my eyes (Look Through my eyes)
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look (Take a look) through my eyes (Look through my eyes)
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find (You'll be amazed what you'll find)

"You'll know when we get there."
Koda said with a tone that sounded like he was hiding something.

Just take a look (Take a look) through my eyes (Look through my eyes)
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look (Take a look) through my eyes (Look through me eyes)
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find (You'll find a better place)

Koda and Ken'ichi just looked at each other's eyes as the song finishes.

If you look through my eyes (You'll find a better place)

Just take a look through my eyes (You'll find a better place)

If you look through my eyes.

Take a look through my eyes…

"I promise, I won't abandon you like you said."
Koda said with a smile.

"Look Through My Eyes" by Phil Collins

This is it my first time I write scenes in a fic with a song playing, so it was probably terrible.

See ya next chapter!
