Chapter 2 – Good Night
Riku walked along side of Sora as he carried Kairi to her home. It was almost ten o'clock at night. All of the stars have finally appeared and the crickets began to chirp. After a short walk from the special tree, they had finally reached their destination.
To the right of Kairi's house was Sora's home. Sora's two story house was brown and tan with a nice green lawn in the front. Next to Sora's house was Riku's. It was one story painted in yellow and white and had a big strong tree that Riku tend to climb in the front of the house.
"Here we are," Sora said, as he helped Kairi get off his arms and onto the ground.
"Yup," Kairi said, straightening her clothes. She looked up at her empty pink and white house and sighed. Kairi came to Destiny Islands with no families or relatives, not even a pet of her own. She had lost all memories of her childhood with her family andfelt alone in the world with nobody to talk to or to get comfort. It was until that day when she met Sora and Riku that she felt that way.
She was sleeping on the special tree when the two boys found her. After they woke her up, they befriended her. They listened to her problems and acted like she was part of their family. That was the happiest day of her life. Now, Sora and Riku are two of the most important people to her. She wouldn't give them up for the world.
Kairi turned around and looked at Sora and then Riku. "Thank you for this evening, Sora," she said, giving him a hug.
"Sure," he said, returning her embrace. Before she let go, Kairi gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. Sora touched the spot, surprised, and smiled.
Kairi turned to give Riku a hug as well.
"And thank you, Riku, for looking after us like a guardian angel," she said.
"No problem," Riku replied, hugging her back while taking a quick glance at Sora. Sora's eyes twitched a little, but he continued smiling.
Kairi moved back and looked at both of them once more. "Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow then," she said, holding her hands behind her. When she was about to turn and leave, Sora suddenly asked, "Kairi, do you think it's safe for you to stay at home by yourself at night?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Sora and I heard that there have been reports of stealing and even murders around this area," Riku explained.
"Really?" she wondered.
"Yeah," Sora answered. "We were wondering if you could stay our house until the person is caught."
"Awww. You guys care about me, but don't worry. I'll be fine. I always lock my windows and doors before I go to sleep."
"Are you sure, Kairi?" Sora asked with concern.
"Yeah, sure. Don't worry," she said.
"Kairi," Riku said, seriously. "If you think that you're a burden to us, don't feel that way because you're not."
"Riku, you could definitely read minds, huh?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips and leaning to on side.
"I just have a sixth sense," he shrugged.
She laughed. "Don't worry, you two. I can take care of myself. You guys just have a good sleep, okay?"
"All right," Sora reluctantly said. "If you say so."
"Okay, then. Good night, you two," she said, waving and giving them a wink.
"Good night, Kairi," the boys said, watching as she ran into her house and locking the front door after her.

'Those two were really serious about the robbing and murdering around here, weren't they,' Kairi thought, as she closed the front door. She rested her head on the door and looked down.
'Sorry, Riku,' she said to herself. 'I can't think that I'm not a burden. You two have always taken care of me and I could never do anything for both of you in return.' Then she took her head off the door and turned around.
'I'll just have to be careful for their sake.'
In front of Kairi's house, the two boys still stood as they watched the light from Kairi's room light up.
"You're not going to leave her by herself, are you?" Riku asked.
"No way," Sora said.
"You're going to stand on lookout outside of her house, right?"
"Yup," Sora said with a nod.
"Okay, then," Riku said, starting his walk toward his house. "I'll leave you to the job then. I trust that you'll be okay?"
"You bet."
"Okay. See you tomorrow then."
"See ya, Riku." With that, Riku strolled off to his house.
Sora stood for a while longer and when he saw Kairi's lights go off, he headed closer to her house.

Kairi was lying in her bed, looking up at the ceiling. She was thinking of nothing in particular, but something made her feel like she should stay awake.
'Don't worry, Kairi,' she spoke to herself. 'Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Just go to sleep.' She closed her eyes and after about fifteen minutes, she was fast asleep. Little did she know that there was somebody already in her house.
