Disclaimer: Yes, you heard it once, you heard it a gazillion times, I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the little characters 'cept for DJ and Faye (Another OC coming up again… haha) or the little plot. Boo hoo for me.

A/n: God, I haven't updated since forever! –Faints-. I have reasons why but to keep this note short, I'll just say the important ones.

Love ya guys! Now, on with fanfic!

"I… love…"

"Omigod, Kairi! Wake up!"

Her eyes were closed, her head was light and she felt paralyzed. 'Kairi?' a voice whispered in her mind 'Are you okay?'

'I think so…' she replied 'What happened?'

'I'm afraid I can't say. You must look for the answers yourself,' her figure became visible and it turned out that the voice was actually a young girl. She had long silvery hair that swayed in the total darkness the two were in and her eyes didn't have pupils. They were all white. The heavy robes that burdened her shoulders were emitting a strange light upon her.

'Who… are you?' Kairi asked 'A-Are you an angel?'

'You can say that. But I'm no angel. You will know in time,'

Kairi looked at her feet and the strange girl was floating a little. She softly giggled with a hand over her mouth. 'I think you should wake up. Your friends are probably worried sick about you by now…,'

'I guess…'

'Wake up..' the girl's voice echoed. The voice started changing into a higher tone "Wake up!" someone from the real world said "Kai, if you don't wake up right this moment, I am going to call a therapist!"

"I'm up! I'm up!" Kairi screamed, sweat formed in her forehead and her breathing pattern sped up. "Who… was that?"

"Who was who, Kai?" the little brunette asked back. Kairi checked around and noticed she was in the school clinic. "That girl…" she said and stood up "The girl who woke me up…"

"Me?"

"Not you, you dumb butt," she scowled "There was a girl in my dreams… She looked like an angel,"

"Maybe it's nothing,"

"Maybe…"

A soft silence fell upon them until Selphie sprung to action "So? Who do you love?" she beamed "You kept saying 'I love—' so tell me!" but in her mind was 'C'mon, say that you like Sora! SAY IT!'

Kairi sighed "Okay. I can't stop it anymore. I love…" Kairi said with a pause which just gave Selphie more anxiety than ever, "That stupid little paupou that he gave me but that nincompoop Sora had to steal it! God, I hate him…"

"Okay, you just fainted just for THAT?!" Selphie jabbed her finger at Kairi's nose "C'mon, you could have said something much more significant than the little paupou…"

OoOoOoOoOoO

Naminé giggled softly to herself beside Roxas "Hmm, someone's happy today. What are you thinking?"

"Oh nothing. I just found out the perfect way for Sora to fall desperately in love with me…"

"Gag, you had to mention the words 'fall desperately in love'" Roxas replied as he shook his whole body in disgust. "So, what did you do?" he asked her and smirked "Gave him a love potion? Hypnotized him?,"

She giggled again "Nope. I'm doing it the old fashioned way. I'm going to ask him out on a date and he'll notice how good I am for him and make me his girlfriend. It's perfect!"

Roxas just jealously looked at her 'Hmph, Sora's lucky to have a girl like her,'. Naminé flipped her hair back and smiled "Okay, see you later. Bye!"

"Bye…" he said softly and saw her walk away to her class. He turned the other way with his bag of books and went inside.

Sora was there talking with the dance committee "Yup, we should do that. The whole school will be really glad if we had a lot of light effects…" he said loudly as he sat on the edge of his desk. At the corner of his blue eye, he noticed Kairi and Selphie walking past.

'Great, another class with him…' Kairi thought and Selphie just softly squealed "Ooh! Another class with him! Kai, you're really lucky!"

"Shut up…" she said and made her way to her desk. Another rose was on it and this time, it wasn't that pink rose with a red and white ribbon… It was a bouquet of deep red roses with a white teddy bear hugging the long green stems. A note was on the bear's paw which said 'To Kairi' written in calligraphy.

She giggled to herself when DJ passed by with a small frown on his face "Hey, DJ!" Kairi shouted and the dark haired boy turned around, the red highlights swooshing along with him "What's up, Kai?"

"Hey, thanks for the roses again, but, you shouldn't have gone and wasted your munny… A thank you is enough."

"Huh? I didn't give you a rose this time…" he replied and Kairi started quizzically "Then, who gave it?" she asked

DJ didn't reply. Instead, his greenish-blue eyes stared into the one person who could give her one besides him. Kairi noticed DJ and turned her head around, just to see Sora smiling at her with his usual trademark smile that gave her the creeps. 'Oh no. Tell me it's not him… Tell me it's the guy behind him! Please! Anyone but Sora Imai Tagayaki,'

Sora heaved a sigh and continued to smile and beside him was Naminé, jealously looking at the pretty rose someone gave Kairi. 'Why can't Sora be that romantic?'

'Guess I'll never know…'

After classes, Kairi waited patiently outside for Sora to show up. When he did, Kairi was so close to shoving him in the wall and let his blood drip on it, but she couldn't. She needed to know the answers. "Sora, why'd you give me the roses?! Is this some kind of joke? Do you want to embarrass me in front of the whole class?!"

"No… I just thought that… this could be our 'peace offering'. I don't wanna fight with you anymore, Kai?"

"Oh, come on…"

"I mean it! If you don't want to be friends with me, well, can we at least get along?"

"Uhh…" she pondered for a while "Fine. But just don't do anything weird again, okay?"

"Okay. Promise!" he said as he ran off and Kairi smiled as she rolled her eyes jokingly.

Kairi was in her usual garden spot, hugging the huge bouquet and playing with the little teddy bear. She inhaled the intoxicating scent of the flowers and smiled when Selphie showed up. "Aww, those roses Sora gave you are so cute, no?"

"Whatever, Selph-a-roo," she rolled her eyes "Besides, he said this was our 'peace offering'. Nothing romantic…"

Selphie didn't reply and the silence between them just made Kairi go on "And, people change, right? That's why I accepted," she said and smelled the roses again. Selphie sighed frustratingly

"Sis, that's where it all starts. You're smiling at them, and you're getting all 'romantic-y'. Believe me"

'That's where it all starts…'

OoOoOoOoOoO

"So, you and Ammie have no problems then, right?" Faye asked

"Yes," Seth answered softly, as if he wasn't sure.

"Good. Cuz, I've been with my sis for years already. And I know how hot-headed Amira could be. Just keep her happy, and she's gonna be fine."

"Okay, thanks for the help…"

"Don't mention it—"

There was a knock on the door "It's open!" Faye shouted and the person went inside. It was Amira with a smile on her face "Faye, you have a visitor…"

From behind of the blonde woman was a silver haired teen. 'Oh no,' Faye thought as she saw him stride into the room "Hello, Faye," he said, having a huge emphasis on her name. She coldly looked at him with those two ice blue eyes and Amira made a gesture which had the words 'Don't do that,' all over it. "Uh, Riku, you can sit here beside her,"

Faye shook her head enough for her sister to notice but she didn't mind anyway "Seth, would you come with me to 'perfect' the tea and cookies?" she said happily and walked away with her husband. The blonde 16-year old looked at the silver haired stranger referred to as 'Riku' and knew that something wrong was with him. She couldn't pin it down, but she just had a feeling about it.

Riku was really weird for her. For one thing, he had an unnatural color of hair, his shirt revealed most of his chest and his baggy clothes already gave her the message.

'Pfft. One word about this guy. Playboy…'

OoOoOoOoOoO

Kairi held her books going off in some direction and smiled but once she saw Sora leaning on one of the walls, she rolled her eyes and turned around. Sora knew that and ran after her "Hey, Kairi" he said with a smile and Kairi turned around "Wanna have something to eat together?"

"No thanks." She replied blankly and continued with her walk

"Aww, come on! R-Right, we aren't fighting anymore?"

"Yeah. That doesn't mean we're friends, does it?" she said and before she could pass by again, he swayed to the direction she was going to "That's why I want to have something to eat with you. Please? I'll even pay for everything" he tempted "And, you don't want to turn down someone who wants to be your friend, right?"

"O-Of course not. But I really have to go…"

"Please? Just for a few minutes. Promise," he assured her "What do I have to do to make you say yes?" he asked and Kairi just shifted her weight from one foot to another, thinking of a perfect way. Sora thought ahead "Do… Do you want me to beg?"

The red head didn't answer, but Sora took it as a 'yes' anyway. He caressed her hand with his and slowly bent his knee down and looked up at her, as if he was going to propose. "Kairi, go with me, please?"

She didn't look down at him, but scanned the people around her who were giggling and spreading rumors already. "Hey, don't do that! You're embarrassing both of us!" she said and tried to break free from his grip on her hand. She was able to free it and took a few steps away from him but Sora was still on his knees "Kai!" he shouted "If you don't come… I'm gonna lie down here!"

"No!" she said and came back to Sora who was already laying his body on the driveway "Fine! I'll go, just don't do that!" she rolled her eyes and fixed the bag over her shoulder. Sora was stunned "Really? Thank you, Kairi,"

After a few blocks of walking with total silence between them, except for Sora who was whispering 'Yes!' over again to himself while Kairi just ignored him, they were in a pretty restaurant with a lot of people but they didn't mind anyway.

"Are you ready to order, sir?" the waiter asked Sora politely. "Uh, not yet. We haven't talked. Just give us a few minutes," he gave the menu back to the man and he walked off, leaving the two alone. "Hey, I just agreed to come here for you to stop with the pathetic begging,"

"It's okay. At least you're here. It's one big step," he said and placed his hands behind his head "You never know, maybe we're gonna be best friends after this,"

She just gave a stare which said 'Pfft, with you?'. Sora knew this and chuckled to himself. He started thinking of making a conversation "Uhh… What did you do during your childhood?"

"Why do you care? What is this, a date?! Because this isn't you know,"

"I know. Can't I at least get to know you better? Nothing… to personal, right?"

She started to show off a few shades of red on her cheeks "Y-Yeah," she stuttered. "Then, it's no problem. Well, for me, I wanted to find my dad so I stowed off in a ship. Heh, there was a girl with me. She's like a younger version of you," he said "Were you the one with me?"

Outside the restaurant, Naminé and Roxas was there, peering through the window and seeing a faint image of a spiky caramel-haired guy. "Hey, that looks a lot like Sora," Naminé exclaimed, pointing at it. Roxas squinted his eyes to look closer. "Oh yeah… it really does look like him," he said and both of them started making their way into the restaurant.

Inside, Kairi's eyes just widened to what she just heard 'Is Sora… really JJ?' she thought to herself as she looked down a little 'I think he has to know now,'

"Kairi, tell me truthfully. Please," he said and placed his hand on hers. She pondered to herself "Uh, Sora? There's something important you should know,"

She looked ahead and noticed the two blondes coming over "Uh, I really have to go. Sorry!" she hastened. Kairi ran off and hid behind a plant where she couldn't be seen by Naminé and Roxas. The blonde girl saw Sora alone and smiled "Sora!" she screeched in her high-pitched voice

He looked up and saw them walking to him. "Sora? Why didn't you pick up your cell phone? I was worried sick!"

"Sorry. It was on silent mode," he lied but Naminé thought he was telling the truth. She sat down beside him while Roxas sat parallel to Sora. The blond boy kept waving his hand for a menu because he was starving, and Naminé just talked with the brunette. "So, why are you here?"

"To eat. Duh!"

"Alone?"

"Why not, right?" he asked and at the corner of his eye, he saw Kairi who was darting away like a mouse. Naminé just smiled back at him "Oh, I see."

Sora looked down at the watch Ansem gave him "Shoot, I have to go,"

"Already?" she questioned "But we just came!"

"I'm sorry. I just remembered that I… uhh… I have a ton of homework to do, so yeah. I promise we'll eat together soon,"

When Sora was outside, he looked around to see if he could spot a red haired girl. "Ahem?" a voice behind him said and he turned around, seeing Ansem standing there with a smug look on his face. Sora just got fired up "Why isn't Kairi—"

"No need to get hot-headed. Cool off," Ansem cut in

"Cool off?! It's going to be October next week, January's coming--"

"January is still far. Sora, you still have time for you and Kairi to get together. Just make sure you don't waste your opportunity,"

OoOoOoOoOoO

Later at Selphie's house, Kairi and Selphie had something to eat together. "You're so weird, sis," Selphie stated "You decide to go out with Sora, and yet, you leave him there all of a sudden!"

"B-but, Naminé came! And besides, if she saw me with him, she would have called her mom up and we'll all have a fight. And Ms. Amira said to stay away from Sora, so I left before any of that happened,"

Selphie gave a frustrated look and sighed "So many complications. Naminé… her mom… Then if you knew that, you shouldn't have agreed in the first place,"

She looked down "Y-You're right," 'unfortunately…' she thought to herself

"Then why'd you say yes?" Selphie breathed slyly, making some kind of 'atmosphere' to their conversation. Kairi didn't reply, but her cheeks were bright pink now. "Oh, I know why. You like him,"

Kairi just smiled and her cheeks turned rose red already. Selphie gasped and smiled along too. "So what? I'm right, aren't I?" she teased "You like him. You want him to be with you all the time,"

This just made Kairi more red and Selphie more excited. "Don't deny it! You like him, as in 'You're in love with him,'"

Kairi's heart beat even faster and faster and now, you couldn't tell which was redder. Kairi's cheeks or her hair. "I-I-I… I think you're right," she said and looked away "I think I love him,"

"What?!" she asked, getting even more excited by the second "Are my ears deceiving me?! You love him?"

Kairi nodded happily and smiled "Yeah,"

Selphie, like the hyper bunny she is, jumped out of her seat "At the end!" she screamed happily "After weeks of trying to force you! You finally said you love him!" Selphie went to Kairi's other side and bent down so her ear was close enough.
