Chapter 3: Smiles, kisses and romance, Oh My!

"Ouch. Hey Kairi, stop flicking paint at me!" Sora winced.

"Hehe, sorry Sora, it was just so fun cuz you haven't noticed for the last five minutes!" she grinned.

Sora pulled a face and stuck his tongue out. Kairi was sitting opposite him, so it was easy to flick paint at him.

"Aw you look so cute pulling that face." Kairi said face softening.

"Heh, so I've been told."

They both settled down to continue their painting, Kairi looked up to take a glance at how Sora was doing, but without knowing at that time their eyes met.

Sora quickly glanced back down to his work, and then Kairi turned back to hers. But out of curiosity she glanced at his face once again.

When she took a closer look, she could see that there was something wrong. His face looked confused as well as sad. So she tried to make a conversation to take his mind of whatever it was.

"So Sora you never told me where you came from." As she said this she smiled.

"Hnn?" Sora looked back at Kairi.

"You said you came very far from here." She titled her head.

"Yeah, that's right." Sora smiled back at her.

"Somewhere in Japan?"

"Well…not that far... erm." he looked away, not knowing whether to tell her or not.

'She probably won't understand, or believe me for that matter'

"Please?" Kairi asked gently.

Sora sighed. She seemed like someone you could trust.

"Ok then, but you gotta promise me not to tell anyone. Understood?" Sora answered seriousness in his voice.

"Got it!" Kairi replied, imitating her lips being zipped up.

Sora chuckled and smiled, Kairi grinned back.

"OK, so here how it is. I came from an island, just off the Japanese coastline, thought is it a bit of a journey to land…" Sora began explaining. Doing hand expressions hoping it will help.

"What's the island called?" interrupted Kairi.

"Hnn?" Sora stopped moving his hands in the air, frozen still.

"What's the island called?" she repeated.

Still frozen, hands in the air, Sora blinked a couple times.

"Erm it's kinda strange for an island to be called but…"

"What's it called?" Kairi once again interrupted

"Will you stop interrupting me?" Sora was starting to get a bit pissed off.

"Heh, sorry."

"It's called Destiny Island…Well that was my island next to the main one."

"Oh I see, so what was the main one called?"

Sora just shrugged, Kairi pulled a puzzled face. Sora took a look and laughed.

"It's because I only really cared about my island, instead of the main one." Sora starred into space, blanking out.

It was now Kairi turn to turn around and blink.

Sora quickly snapped back into reality and looked at Kairi slightly blushing.

"Sorry."

"It's ok." A smile slowly rose upon her face.

Sora began to feel guilty. He glanced at the floor eyes glazing over.

"Sora are you ok?" Kairi asked alarmed.

"Uh…….." he placed a hand over his head.

"Sora?"

He slightly fell forward.

"Sora!"

He then collapsed.

"SORA!"

Sora slowly opening his eyes, everything was a blur. He could see a figure at his side, slightly leaning over.

"He's awake! Sora are you ok?"

"H…huh?"

Another figure appeared besides the first one.

"Oh thank god your alright." The second figure exclaimed.

"W…wh…where…am…I?" Sora stumbled, trying to lean up straight.

"Here let me help you." said the first figure.

She helped Sora up; as soon as he was up he rubbed his eyes, and looked at the two figures again.

Smiling at him, were Kairi and the school nurse.

"Kairi?" he asked dumbly.

"Yeah, you haven't forgotten me already have you?"

Sora blushed, "N-no! I was just surprised to see you."

"Right I'm going to get the needle. Mr. Tsukihime, you appear to have a terrible fever."

"Which was weird because you felt fine all morning up until now." Kairi explained.

"Yeah I'm sure I wrote it in my application." Sora said rubbing his head.

"Well there was nothing written on there when I checked." The nurse glared at him.

"Heh gomen." He gave a small nervous laugh.

"I'll let you off this time." The nurse said still glaring.

Sora gave a small gulp, as she left to fetch the needle.

"I'm glad you're ok Sora, really scared me." Kairi smiled.

Sora faced his head down, beginning to feel guilty again.

"Kairi?" he asked.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry." A silent tear rolled down his cheek, he quickly wiped it away. Fortunately Kairi didn't notice.

After a pause she replied, "It's ok."

"Say Kairi how did you get me here?" Sora perked up, "I mean all by yourself, that must have been hard."

Kairi grinned, "Hmm not really, some one else carried you."

"Really?" Confusion overcame Sora's face, "Who?"

In one word Kairi happily chirped, "Riku." She then turned to look at Sora and saw his face stunned.

"R-Riku?" he slowly asked.

"That's right. He came over to you straight away after you fainted. He was supposed to get some supplies for another class, but he went to rescue you instead." She raised her eyebrows. "After all, he is a kind, caring person."

"Kind? Caring? Yuck!" he stuck his tongue out. "Riku kind AND caring? Wow, I didn't know there was such a possible combination for a guy like him!" he began to laugh.

"Sora!" Kairi giggled quietly.

"Thank for your appreciation. Next time I won't help you."

"Huh?" Sora's head shot to his right, standing in the corner was Riku.

"…Riku?" Sora said quietly. "I didn't mean…"

"Yeah yeah, that's what they all say. I mean there's no one you can trust. So yeah next time you get in trouble I won't bother helping you." Riku coolly walked past Sora's bedside, putting his hand in the air and back down again.

"RIKU!" Sora shouted trying to grab him, but he was out of his reach.

A quick flash back appeared him Sora's thoughts.

A young Sora held out his hand trying to grab someone
'No, please don't leave me…' he begged.

"Erm i just going to find the nurse." Kairi worriedly said, dashing off.

Sora closed his eyes.

"So Sora? What's the attention seeking for?" a familar voice appeared.

"Huh?" Sora opened his eyes to see Riku leaning in the door way.

"What you talking about?" he asdked puzzled.

"You know, all the fainting 'n' shit."

"Wha?" Sora opening his mouth.

Riku grinned wickedly, "Seems to me like you're faking it." He slowly began walking to the side of Sora's bed.

Sora just looked at him, speechless for once.

Eyes hidden by his hair, Riku once again grinned. He stood over Sora.

Sora was about to reply back, but before he opened his mouth Riku's hand gently held Sora's chin and lifted it up. Sora gazed at his eyes, glowing with pleasure.

Sora then tried to knock his hand away, but within a second, Riku ducked down and kissed Sora's lips. After staying there for a couple of seconds Riku lifted his head back up grinning, and once again walked out of the room.

A couple seconds after Riku had left, Kairi came running back in with the nurse.

"Sora?" Kairi asked breathless. "You feeling alright?"

Sora starred at the door where Riku had left a couple seconds earlier.

"Yeah…" he replied "…I'm fine…"
