Authors Note: ATTENTION- Do not read my stories if you don't like them. If you think something is stupid then that's okay but don't tell me how to write my stories. Just X out of the page and read some other story...And now for some review thank yous!

DivineRoseKeeper...I'll try! Heh, sometimes it's hard for me to start a chapter off.

KrystalGamer...Hell yes! I knew someone would say that was their favorite chapter...(heh...it's cause they make out and Sora's like "Oh My God I love you!")

Black Mistress ...Yes, Kairi is a bitch. (mwa ha..I made her that way). And I feel sorry for Sora and Aerith also..maybe I should have them all just live in the forest happily ever after...but the story does need a plot XD.

carbuncle...I have no planned ending for the story so far anyways (I usually have the ending planned out even before I start..and the last chapter was going to be the ending but I like this story too much!). I'm sorry Kairi is a jerk (I think it's PMS) but I don't plan on her being such a jerk in the following chapters.

Kingdom.Writer...Glad you like the story! And I can't help but write a story with a twist..I guess thats why I have fans XD.

Krystal Wings..Hell yes:high fives:

Bacon Boy USA...Why thank you! I guess it was different :D!

Rose-Lady Luna...I know what you mean, this is the most favorite story I've written. And Riri's House is just toally random...ain't it?

lizzard-gurl...:D Why thank you. I don't like reading KxS fics either...but I like writing them! I can't do yaoi or anything cause im not a dude ha ha not that I ever PLANNED to write yaoi. I like writing guyXgirl things. And I thought the same thing about Daisuke when I first saw DNAngel. Your like the first person to discover that Niwa was from DNAngel (thats where I got the name). And my friend is playing the general! Wow thats special.

DemonDetectives... Thanks! I will continue with the story until I decide it ends (which at this point isnt anytime soon.) and PSST..read this chapter

Palantiri...heh..everyone always seems to guess the twist in my storys. Maybe I should make them less obvious...oh well..


Chapter 9: Introduction Reformation

Kairi sighed as she looked into a mirror and tied a bow around her neck. She was back at home inside her room. They say home is where the heart is but Kairi didn't exactly feel that way at the moment.

She gazed at her room from the mirrors view and a little smile formed on her face. Kairi loved her room. It made her feel young and innocent again. Her room was painted light pink and one of the walls was just a window that shined light into the room like it were painted gold. The rest of her room was fairy tale themed. Her night stand was a mermaid and in the corner was a castle in which her cat slept in. Also there was a Mickey mouse TV (to watch her favorite shows) on one side of her room. It was like she was living a real life fantasy.

"I don't want to go to school," she groaned as she examined her uniform. It was a maroon plaid skirt along with jumper like straps,a darker red vest, and a red bow to go around her neck. "I miss the convention." Wait! What was she saying? She MISSED the convention? Maybe she did need to go back to school.

She heard a honk from outside the house. It was her car pool to school with Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus (her friends in her town). "Coming!" she yelled as she grabbed her lip gloss and her shoulder back pack. The auburn hair girl struggled to put on her long white stockings and shoes as she hopped down the stairs.

"Kairi," her mother said to her as Kairi began to buckle her shoes.

"Not now mother!" Kairi moaned as she put her lip gloss in her skirt pocket.

Kairi's mother started tapping her foot. "Kairi..."

"What mother?" she asked as if she were annoyed. Kairi's mom smirked and held out a brown paper sack lunch."Oh," she said embarrassed. "Thanks mom!" Kairi usually forgot many things while going to school.

"No problem," her mom smiled as Kairi ran out the door and into the car pool mini-van.

Kairi quickly ran to the car and opened a door. She took a seat next to Tidus. "Sorry guys! I was-"

"Don't worry Kairi," laughed Wakka. "We're used to it."

"Shut up," pouted Kairi. She missed them...a lot. Tidus, with his small boy attitude; and Wakka, with his good sport on-going. She was glad she was back with her friends.

"Anyways," Selphie interrupted. "Did you hear about Cloud and Sephiroth?" Cloud was the most popular (and sexiest..) guy in school but he was held back a year while Sephiroth was a heavy metal goth person thingy. They hated each other since child birth (or if possible...before that).

"Oh yeah, that stupid rumor that they 'did the naughty dance'?" Tidus asked while he pretended to gag.

"Yeah," added Wakka. "I don't believe that for a second. They are too different for the 'dance of the naughty'."

"Or anything else," laughed Kairi. "Besides, Sephiroth would look better with Lulu! They are both in that category of strange people."

Wakka started to blush fiercely. "Are you kidding? They would go horrible together!" Of course, it had been a well known fact that Wakka has had a crush on Lulu for the longest time.

"You like her!" chanted Tidus and Kairi together. "You like her! You like her!"

"I do not!" he screamed at them as his face reddened. It was so easy to get Wakka's emotions up and crazy like that.

"Awww!" Selphie exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Tidus's neck. She stared at the embarrassed Wakka. "Isn't that cute? He's in denial!"

Tidus's face turned red and burned his cheeks. "Stop Selphie!"

Kairi's face had also turned red from laughing so hard. She loved her friends. They always made her feel so cheerful. Much better then how she felt at the...'Stop thinking about the convention!' she thought to herself. "Lets all calm down. We don't want to be really hyper for home room."

"But at least we're in the same home room!" exclaimed Selphie. "Remember last year?"

"I remember," added Tidus. "We were all spread out to different corners of the school. It sucked like a flipping monkey! Except for me and Selphie; we were in the same home room."

"But our teacher was so stupid," Selphie gagged.

"Oh yeah!" Wakka exclaimed. "Didn't he always hit on the girls?"

"And guys," shruddered Tidus.

"Yes!" Kairi and Selphie groaned. They of course kicked that teacher out of the school for obvious reasons.

"He was so gross," Kairi said.

"But he was kind of hot," Selphie smiled. Everyone turned towards her and raised an eyebrow. "Your right Kairi, we need to calm down."

A few moments later they arrived at school. It was a very large pink (more like faded red from the years) and white bricked building. The school looked liked like any other typical private school. Side-walk leading up to the stairs, which led to the big brown doors to enter the school. Out front, the grass was as green as a crayola crayon and a flag pole carried the countries flag proudly.

"I missed you!" Kairi exclaimed as she ran out of the car and clinged to the grass. It was funny how being back changed her so much. The convention was a mess that she rather not bring up. Who knows what would happen if she ever saw Sora again.

"I thought we were going to calm down Kairi," laughed Wakka as he saw his friend acting like a nut.

"I don't care!" she cheerfully yelled as she started dancing in the freshly dewed grass.

"Kairi..." Selphie laughed in a nervous way.

"Yep?" asked Kairi happily.

"Your uniform is getting wet," she informed her.

Kairi first looked at Selphie, then Selphie's uniform, then her own uniform. Her uniform was just as Selphie had described it. Wet. "DAMMIT!" she yelled as she picked up her book bag and ran inside the school.

"Wait for us!" the rest of them yelled as they ran after her.

"I'm glad I'm back," she told herself. "School is, strangely, a place where I can be free with my emotions and with myself."

"Hey Kairi," said a random guy in th halls. "Nice to see you back."

"Hey Kairi!" exclaimed another girl waving to her.

This was usual. Kairi was pretty popular around school. She was bound to be the school president in the upcoming election. Sadly enough, she even had her own fan club (which they all just blushed as she ran by). Kairi was used to this. Nothing would mess up her daily schedule of hello's, blushes, and toaster struddles. Hmm-mmmmm good.

She finally reached her home room and let out a tired sigh. The teacher wasn't there yet and the students were talking quietly in their desk.

"Look everyone!" yelled Cloud (who was in Kairi's home room). "Kairi's back." Kairi smiled at Cloud and waved a little. It was true Cloud was very attractive and everyone in school thought the two were dating. But of course Kairi didn't care for Cloud in that way and neither did he. Stupid rumors ruin everything...

"Yep!" she exclaimed happily. Kairi turned around and saw she was blocking the door. She moved over to the teachers desk and waved her arms in the air. "Sorry!"

Everyone sat in their desk (except Kairi because she took role call everyday). The classroom was large but contained a small amount of people. There was Selphie, Tidus, Wakka, Cloud, Sephiroth, Lulu, and Kairi herself. It was small but they did get more work done this way.

"Hey everybody," she said as she leaned against the desk, clearly showing her wet uniform. "Let's start by taking role." Kairi took a clipboard from the desk along with a pen.

Kairi looked down at the list. "Tidus?"

"Here!" Tidus yelled as his hand shot up.

"Selphie?" she asked as she continued to look down at the list.

"Here...!" she slowly said loudly.

"Wakka?"

"Here man!" he laughed.

"Lulu?" she asked. Kairi received no answer. "Lulu?" she asked once more.

"If you see I'm here,I'm here," she said in her usual attitude. "Just check the damn list off."

"..Right," Kairi said as she went right along. "Cloud?"

"Here Kairi," smiled Cloud sweetly. Kairi smiled back at him and went back to the list.

"Sephy?" Kairi giggled. Everyone knew Sephiroth hated being called that.

"Call me that again and I'll split your brain into a million pieces with a touch of a finger," he said with an angry groan. "Then I'll eat your pathetic human nose!"

"We'll aren't we optimistic!" she exclaimed with a laugh. "Oh! Apparently we have a new student. She switched in from a different class. Her name is Namine!" Kairi thought about what she said. "Woah! Namine?"

Suddenly the hyper and pretty Namine burst through the door. "Hi everyone! My name is Namine and-"

"Yeah Yeah, take your seat," groaned Kairi. Now she could be bugged everyday for the rest of her Junior High life. "We also have another new student. He was home schooled for all his life and just recently he decided to move to a real school." Kairi looked at the list to introduce the boy's name and gasped.

"What's wrong Kairi?" asked Cloud in concern.

"..." no answer.

"Kairi!" Selphie asked as she examined Kairi's pale face. "Is something wrong?"

"Our other new student is...Sora," she finished as her face drained all its color.

Just like Namine had, Sora (dressed in the same uniform as every other boy but just a bit messier) burst through the scene like a breezy wind in Chicago. He smiled at everyone and waved. Then Sora smiled at Kairi.

"Hey Kairi," Sora smiled in his usual goofy way. Sora examined Kairi's damp uniform. "What? Getting all wet over little old me? Save it for marriage!"

Everyone stared at the two. No one knew what was truly going on between the two, except Selphie. How did Sora know Kairi? Well however she knew him, they could all tell she wasn't pleased to see him.
