A/N: I just decided that I love responding to my reviewers so much that I can NOT NOT reply back. So here are some reviews I decided to reply through. Some reviews were taken anywhere from Ch. 14 - Ch. 12. I usually respond to the longer reviews or the ones that have questions or just make me laugh. But I honestly love and apperciate ALL of my reviews. If I had time, I'd reply to everyone, but I'd be able to drink legally by the time I finished. .-.;;

Light Leaven666: Thank you so much! Ha ha! Whenever I'm not at the computer, I write down the chapters/plot ideas for stories in a notebook, but then I get handcramps and just wanna type it since I'm fast. L0L. I'm lazy, I know. Thanks!
Iris: Ooh, I'm so glad I could change (somewhat) of the perspetive on the pairing! I love those two but love it even more when I change peoples' opinions. I'm also extremely happy that you love my story! -cookies!- .. Oh my god. I was wondering when someone would notice that! Yes! I did! Originally, I modeled Queenie after me. HA HA, I know! Me, your lovely author! I'm quite the bitch and can be snooty, but as Queenie began to develop more, I realized I wasn't that much of a prick. So .. instead .. I modeled her after this one girl at my school I used to be best friends with. L0L, I'm so nice, eh? Maybe I am more like Queenie than I know. As for the Furuba thing .. of course! I L0VE Fruits Basket! I wanted the username 'Tohru' but it was taken, so I took this! Smart huh? Gotta love Tohru(e)!
Inu-KagomeFan: Ah ha ha! Now do you hate me? D: Lol. I just think it's hillarious how people say they love the story except for the cliffs. Ha ha! By the way, noticed you like Inuyasha!

misshotness: Love the username; reminds me of Queenie for some reason. LOL, and thanks for the good writer comment! I feel so honored when people tell me I'm a good writer. But I'm positive there are MUCH BETTER writers than me in the KH section! You'd be surprised, really!
x3 Apollo: I can't tell you how long it took me for me to think of how Kairi was going to react. Would she be angry? Would she ignore it? Would she start crying? But finally I thought of the perfect mood for what Kairi would really do in a situation like that! Sometimes being indescive is such a pain! ;; cookies! ;;
Forbidden Smiles: Wow. To be honest, I wasn't expecting this but .. you just totally gave me a new idea. Yes, a new idea. You. Idea. TSoML. ;; MORE COOKIES FOR YOU ;; Seriously, though!

KairiLuv ( who was too lazy to sign in. ) : Ha ha! Yes, I have to admit I was rooting for Yuffie while writing this. Thus why I made Yuffie all aksjlaskg. I expected in the beginning that Tidus would be somewhat of the ice breaker just because of his super dee duper awesome caring personality. As for T&S and K&S .. maybe! Actually, I do know but I'm just not saying anything. Muffins or cookies .. hm. To be honest, I have an eating disorder and basically restrict food 24/7. But it's muffins if they're white chocolate chip or banana. Cookies if they're peanut butter. YUM. Good thing I don't have any cookies right now otherwise I would flip out.
Heart of Dreams: Ha ha, I know! A shocker! I personally wasn't expecting Kairi to find out for another couple of chapters, but you know I got lazy and wanted to reveal. As for your 'ESP' vision .. L0L. It's great, darling. ;; cookies! ;;
Angel-Shellz: .. XD .. nice to have you back! Anyways, updated ASAIC.
Dragongirl920: Ha ha, thank you very much! How old am I? Well, I'm older than four but I'm younger than 2o. Oh yes. So secretive and mysterious me! I love keeping secrets. It's fun, neh?
tinacococremepuf: There is no way you could find my house. I live in a box in a small hickville and I'm constantly changing my location to where there is food. L0L. I'm kidding. I don't live in a box, but sometimes it'd be nice. Not kidding about that. Though, I'm sure I wouldn't fit .. I'm pretty tall ..
Lil' Miss Lily: Thank you so much! I try. HA HA. No, really, I don't. I just think of these stupid things when I'm listening to Emo music or just PMSing. Bet that was some nice information, huh? Oh yes.
Lil'pineapple: Of course it was naked ducks. XD Nah, well, duh it really wasn't as you shoudl PROBABLY KNOW BY NOW. I think it would have been funny if it was, though. Would have knocked everyone out of their socks. I really should do a dramatic cliff and then build everyone's tension up and then let them down with something stupid/funny. Thanks! ;; cookies! ;;
the Dr.: Everyone loves a bitch either way. (:

Kairi knocked lightly on the face of the paopu wood door as she patiently waited in the shade of a nearby tree. She hadn't told her she was coming over or anything. Knowing her, she wouldn't mind at all seeing how the two were together constantly. It'd been exactly two hours now, though. Two hours since the flying DVDs across the room, the shouting & screaming, the kicking & slapping, and the door slamming. Two hours .. She wouldn't have been surprised if it was all over school tomorrow about the couple breaking up. Some girls would be in tears while others would be snickering and grinning in delight. The auburn head didn't care though. If they wanted that son of a skunk loser, they'd could have him bit by bit and leash him. He could go knock them up at third base; she was sure they that wouldn't mind as long as it was Sora.
Queenie's step mother opened the door finally after what seemed like an eternity and a half. Putting on a smile and cheery facade, she clasped her hands together in front of her chest to greet the older blonde.
"Oh, hi Mrs --"
"Hi Kairi, dear. Can I help you?"
.. Staring at the woman, an eyebrow raised in questioning. This was .. abnormal. Usually Queenie was the one to answer the door first and even if it was her step mother answering, she always looked so cheery and elegant like a life size Barbie. But today however, she looked like a mess. Blonde hair was toppled up in a pile on her cranium while little bags sagged under the woman's pretty emerald eyes. Something was obviously wrong and it wasn't botax.
"Is Queenie home?"
".." The higher Majesty frowned slightly as wrinkles made away across her sunkist skin. ".. I'm sorry Kairi; Queenie is gone. She went back to the other side of the Island to her real mother. I was up all night trying to find her until she finally called from her mother's."
"... Do you know why she's there?"
"Apparently a couple of things went wrong. I suppose by Queenie's mother's story that she was out late last night and heard some of her .. "friends" talking about her, as well as that one boy. What's his name? -- Oh yes! Riku. Lately Queenie has been hearing lots of hurtful things and untrue rumors going around and I guess that was the last straw. She believes that if she goes to school on the other side of the Island that she can start over. I don't know if she'll really be going to school there but she certainly needs time off to clear her mind. I'd give you the address and number but I don't know the address and Queenie's mother is very protective about who has their phone number for unknown reasons. I guess you'll just have to contact via email. I'm so sorry, dear. If I get any updates, I'll be sure to call."
" .. Oh, okay. Thank you. I'll be sure to email her .."
".. Is something wrong, dear?"
Her eyes that had fallen softly to the ground in shock and disappointment quickly shot up as the question was put out into the open. At first she wanted to spill everything to the blonde's mother but then something held back. Something that she didn't know what it was. Her glossed lips were slightly parched open but they closed quickly before abroading back open.
"No mam', I'm fine. Just tired, I guess .."
"Okay, well, if you need anything dear, I'm here."
".. Bye, Mrs --"
"Bye, Kairi."
As the door quickly shut, she stared at it's full closed frame before she turned around and began to walk away. Now Queenie was the gone .. the only one she had left that she could confide in. First it was Yuffie, then it was Sora, then it was Queenie. Who was it next? Who was going to walk out of her life next? Her own mother? She wouldn't have been surprised. Kicking a paopu fruit that had fallen upon the grainy shore, she slowly began to mope back home slowly. Another piece of her life had just slowly fallen onto the ground and shattered into millions of tiny pieces.

daddysdefect84767: U STPID SLUT
toogood4uha: STUPID U R SUCH A SKANK HO
bballforlifea: y would u use him like that!
lfiettradedy4689: UGLY FACE UR NOTHING NOW THAT U GUYS SPLIT GET OVER IT NO ONE LIKES U U HAVE NO ONE
borntorapandkill69: i told you it wouldnt last, kairi but dont be sad that your popularity is over now bc queenie is gone and no one wants to be with you because your a ho bag
The red head stared at her computer screen in silence as message boxes kept popping up with profanity and insults. Slut, skank, whore, ho bag, bitch, mother fucker . she'd heard it all in the past couple of my hours. She'd been right, though; Sora had informed everyone of the break up. Knowing him now, he'd probably said that she'd had a bet with him and then he found out and such stupid lies. Of course there was just no competition between herself and him when it came to convincing. Everyone hated her now and he was the most popular guy in the school. Selphie and Yuffie were probably going to believe him over her now. It was just so .. typical. Why had everything had to end this way? Everything was going great for once. Her grades, her friends, her social status, her popularity but like smoke, it'd quickly vanished before you could catch it. She was now old news and within the next couple of days there would be a new self proclaimed teen queen now that she was off the throne and Queenie was gone. At least if she'd been there she'd believed her. Well, probably ..
She tapped the computer button off with her digit before she pushed back in the rolling chair and sat up. Kairi moved over to her violet satin laced bed before she completely collapsed on top of it with her face dug in the pillow. What would she do when she went to school? Where would she sit? Could she drop out? What would she do when Sora saw her? What about her song for the concert? She'd written that specifically about her feelings on him. She'd need to change that now and she only had three or four days and it'd taken a week and a half to write her original work. Maybe she could go live with Queenie and attend school with her .. her own mother wouldn't care. She'd probably like the idea with her being out of the house gone and all. She continued to lay in her bed before she finally sat up and moved herself off.
CLASH.
Before she'd known it, Kairi had moved across the room and over to her picture shelf before one of her extremities had slapped one of the frames off of the shelf and onto the ground; the glass protecting the picture, shattering. At first she peered down at at from above before her hand had slowly started moving towards another picture. Kairi looked back up at her hand but found herself not resisting to pull away.
CLASH.
CLASH.
CLASH.
CLASH.
CLASH.
Picture frames upon pictures frames fell upon each other as they cracked or shattered. Something inside of her had finally cracked. She opened her lips before she started to screaming in frustration. Her hand suddenly took another swing, this time bringing down another five or six picture frames. Stomping across to the other side of her room, she clawed at the posters on her walls, threw pillows on the floor, kicked the walls, ripped pieces of paper from her notebooks, threw CDs at her mirror and ripped and tugged at her cinnamon hair roughly. The ball of frustration finally calmed after a few minutes. Tired and out of breath, Kairi slumped against the wall in her corner, slowly down onto the ground where she collapsed into tears.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next few days for Kairi felt like all hell broke loose on earth. She couldn't go anywhere in the hall without getting called a nasty name or having a snarky comment snapped at her. During lunch, everyone refused to acknowledge her presence, thus, why now she wouldn't eat lunch. In the classroom, no one would sit by her and if they did it was only because there was no to little seats left. It was funny. Everyone was acting as if she had been the person to place the bet when all along it was Sora. And it was funny how it went to show how easily people could turn their backs on you just like that. Even if you were in the innocent one in the case.
Now that it seemed that no one really cared about Kairi or even noticed her for that matter of a fact, the girl had stopped playing Barbie doll in the morning when she woke up. Every day now it seemed it was just a pair of sweats, a hoodie, sandals, and quickly messy bun of the hair. No more heels, no more skirts, no cute little tank tops, make up if any was just chap stick and even still, that wasn't really make up. If they didn't care, she didn't care.
Sora, on the other hand, had seemed to have moved on pretty fast. Playing innocent pranks with the guys, scooping out the girls at cheerleading practice, looking as fresh as ever ... you almost would have guessed that Kairi had never existed in his agenda busy life. Sometimes in the hall, however, her and him would exchange a glance and Kairi even swore sometimes that he was staring at her out of the corner of his eye. There had been times where she was tempted to call him or talk to him on messenger, but whenever she picked up the phone or clicked open the message window, she lost all courage and bailed out. But why was it she always found herself wanting to call and apologize when he'd been the one to screw it up? Why wasn't he the one calling her in apologies? Either she was too emotional or he had no heart.
It wasn't until almost a week until they'd finally came into communication.
Well, if that included screaming and insults.
"Thanks mam for letting me change the piece!"
Shutting the door of the choir room behind her, Kairi adjusted the corduroy messenger bag on her shoulder before she picked up her feet and began to make pace down the hallway and towards the front of the school doors. For the past couple of days Kairi 'd been staying after school to work on her solo piece for the upcoming Select Choir concert so it always resulted in her coming home around 5-6; around the time guys' football practice ended.
"What a long day!" Closing her eyes, Kairi rested one of her hands behind her hand as she slowly scratched the back of her cranium. Though it was dangerous to be walking blind in the corridor of the school, there was really no danger as long as people weren't around. If she had enough common sense to open her eyes before she hit the wall, then she'd be fine. Only little did Kairi or her common sense know that there was one other person in the hallway. Which resulted in ...
SMACK.
Before she'd been able to know it, Kairi had felt the hard pressing of a shoulder pad smack her upside the forehead. "Oh my Destiny, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to .." Kairi's lips opened and quickly apologies began pouring out like one couldn't believe. But as she moved her hand back to her forehead to rub it, she opened her eyes only to discover it was her most "favorite" person in the world. When her vision painted the ever so familiar boy in front of her, the apologies suddenly choked on themselves onto a halt.
"Hey, don't worry about it .." Sora said upon closing his locker.
".. .. .. .. .."
Taking a couple steps back, Kairi rested her cerulean colored orbs on him with her brows slightly narrowed in an offensive position. Sora, who seemed as confused as ever. gave her an odd and innocent look. Watching him grab his football helmet from the ground, he soon started to take a couple steps forward as she backed up.
"Kairi, can we talk? I really didn't mean for you to find out. I mean, I didn't even place that silly bet and I was never really going to try and get into your -- erm -- well, you know! I was going to eventually tell you!"
"Shut up, Sora." Swerving around on the ball of her foot, Kairi adjusted her messenger bag again and began to walk the opposite direction. Though the other pair of doors was only feet away it looked like she'd be taking the back door to escape havoc with him. And by all means, it was worth it. She betted this was just a bet on her that he could get her to come back to him and try getting back into her pants. But no way. No way was she falling for that again. After losing the two friends who had warned her and really cared about her, there was no way she could afford to lose anything else. Kairi was sure if they went back to each other he'd just take something away again. And she didn't really have anything more which was the sad thing about it.
"Kairi, come on, you gotta listen to me! It was totally Riku's idea and I didn't want to do it at first but after I found myself really falling for you, I just couldn't get out --"
"Be quiet!"
"I'm not lying to you! It's true! I really do like you! The reason I haven't been talking or calling you is because I'm afraid to. You never listen to people if there's a chance that you might not like what you hear. See, Kairi, pl -- hey, stop walking so fast! I'm trying to talk to you and explain the real story to you."
"I already know the real story! Tidus explained to me," mumbling, Kairi pushed open the doors that lead to the back of the school. Upon stepping out, she found the sky painted a dull and expressionless gray as drops of rain slowly fell onto the ground. The guys off on the field continued with football practice like the rain wasn't an inconvenience. Glancing at them only after the first few moments of stepping outside, she could already tell some of the guys on the sidelines had noticed her and Sora together. A couple of them pointed while Kairi heard one shout something but wasn't able to make it out.
"You better get out back on the field before they think of anything.""
Picking up her feet after momentarily stopped, Kairi quickly began to continue on her way.
"I don't care if they see me with you!"
"You sure do care at school!"
"That's not the point!"
".. .. .." The boy wasn't going to leave her alone if she didn't drop him here. Knowing Sora and his odd ways, he'd probably stalk her all the way home if she wasn't careful. So it was no surprise when she stopped again after a few feet, fully pivoted around on her foot, and stuck her finger out in front of her and pointed at him almost accusingly.
"Listen, Sora .. I went into that "relationship" with my gut telling me something was up. But did I listen? No and looked what happened. Sure, it was nice being popular or whatever you people call it, but you know .. it wasn't me. The mini skirts .. are you kidding me? If I'd pulled them up an inch higher my underwear would have been revealed. And those push up bras were a real killer. But that's not really the point of this. The fact is I had to be somebody else for you and your friends and your clique to accept me. Before they wouldn't give me the time of the day but after I changed all the girls were begging to be my shopping buddy. Even if you are being true about Riku making the bet and everything else, it doesn't matter! We could never be. We're almost from two different planets it seems. And the fact that I'm being threatened with scary letters and phone calls is defiantly the cherry on top on why I shouldn't be with you!"
"Threats? You never told me you were being th--"
"That's not the point right now. The point is we can't be seen together at all. Also that I really, strongly dislike you too. And if you follow me around or talk to me in the hallways, people are gonna suspect things, I'm going to get scary letters, and who knows what else will happen."
"Kairi! That doesn't matter! I don't care!"
"If it's my life that's endanger, you should!"
"That's just coming from a silly jealous girl!"
"Even if it was, I hate you Sora. I hate you more then anything. For some reason you're like that stupid teddy bear that sits on my shelf but I can't throw it away otherwise I feel terrible. But you know what, Sora? I'm throwing you away right now. I don't ever wanna see you or talk to you again. Ever."
Kairi watched Sora for a moment as his expression went from shocked to angry. Before she knew, the boy had stepped forward and snapped his hand forward to take a hold of her wrist. Suddenly surprised by the boy, she looked up at him as he kept a hold of her wrist.
"This is the exact reason why you never had enough friends to start with. You're a stupid, spoiled, selfish brat! You constantly lie to yourself about things and feelings and can't find a way to drop things. You've always been like this! Since Elementary school 'till now! You know, I really don't even like you to be honest! You're so stuck up that it drives me to believe I actually like you! Why don't I make this fair and just say I hate you too?"
SLAP.
With her hand that wasn't being gripped by him, she'd taken it and swiftly smacked Sora across the face. Naturally he dropped her other hand before he gave her an expressionless look. For a moment, Kairi stared back, a little taken ahold by what'd she done, but soon enough she slowly began to take steps backward. But just seconds later, she turned around and broke out into a run.
"Don't ever talk to be again, Sora!" she screamed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Out of all the places she would have gone, she'd normally have chosen home, but even now she didn't want to return there. Turning on a different path opposite of the one home, Kairi 'd decided she'd travel other side of the Island to visit Queenie. Now, she wasn't really sure of where the girl lived but she suspected it'd probably be the biggest house on the side of that Island.
I hate this terribly. I hate everything. I hate him. I hate them. I hate my own mother. I hate school. I feel like I'm complaining but don't I deserve to at least this once? I feel like a huge pile of mess lately. Everything around me has fallen to pieces and it's terrible. Please, I need someone or something to save me. Anybody, anything, I just need something ..
"Struggle or scream for help and your life is mine."
While lost in though, she mustn't have noticed him. But he certainly had noticed her. Taking a quick hold of her, she hadn't been able to see his face but the way he had her grabbed but with the sharp, intimidating blade held at her throat, she wasn't going to take the chance to turn around and see. So rather, she stood there facing forward with the blade at her throat. Too afraid to even swallow or breathe, she stood their helplessly as the person behind her held her at knife point.
"You're going to wish you never -- "
And then it hit Kairi. Just hit her like a ton of bricks. She now knew who it was. Who it had been sending her the threats. Who it had been giving her the scary messages. Who it had been leaving the note. And it was -- But before Kairi had known it, something hard had hit her on the top of the cranium and soon she fell all her limbs go numb and her vision swarm into a sick color of black.
