Disclaimer: I'm seriously getting sick and tired of saying this thing over and over again. I've said it thirteen times! Shouldn't the people know by now?! Do I have to? -People nod and smirk at me menacingly- Ugh… Fine. Can I just ask Sora to do it instead? -Sora nods- YAY!
Sora: KHKairiNamineFanatic does not own Kingdom Hearts, me or anyone else in this story. Except for DJ and my—uh… 'so-called-brother's' girlfriend, Faye. -Riku gives a WTF?! Look-. She doesn't own the plot too, and she doesn't own her crush because he is way too good for her and-- -KHKairiNamineFanatic covers Sora's mouth-
KHKaiNamFan: Okay, we seriously don't need to know that part, SORA! -Sora says some random muffled words and licks my hand- EWW! Gross! While I wash my hand, you go and read the Author's note.

Kairi burst through the room, wearing a beautiful gown "Oh my God! Selphie! Where the hell did you get this?!" Kairi squealed in delight as she wore the dress Selphie lent her. It was a beautiful pink one with black butterfly prints on the bottom of the dress. A few sequins here, a few ribbons there, and it looked exactly like something a fairytale princess would wear. "It's so pretty!"
Selphie giggled "I know!" she beamed "Besides, it's way too pink for me. I've got a yellow one!"
The two girls started laughing but DJ was sitting on the chair, quietly looking at the two girls and noticed how… excruciatingly pink it was. "I guess it's okay. Nothing special," he said but in the back of his mind, he thought 'Oh my God. She looks so cute in her dress,'
"NOTHING SPECIAL!?" Selphie screamed into his eardrums. He practically fell off his chair and hit his head. "That cost me almost one thousand munny and you think it's nothing special?!"
The dark-haired boy took his cap off, rubbed his head and sat back into his chair. "Ouch," he said and cursed to himself as he felt the bump on his head. He looked at Selphie playing with Kairi's hair and got pissed that she didn't even bother to apologize. He tried his best to copy her voice "Oh, sorry, Lord DJ, master of all time and space,"
"No problem, Selph. I'm okay with it," he said sarcastically with his normal voice and Selphie just stuck her tongue out at him and continued to fix Kairi's hair and place make-up on her face. "Fine. I see how it is. You two do your girly stuff. I'm getting a bite to eat,"
"As if you never do?" Selphie teased "You're always hungry!"
"At least I don't get fat. Unlike some people," he smirked and the brunette rolled her eyes and DJ stood up. "I'll be back,". DJ walked out the door and started making a sandwich for himself. He stuffed his face with it until he noticed a door closing from the upper floor. He looked up and saw Kairi at the top of the curved stairs, wearing her dress and make-up.
The soft-looking cloth showed how curvy her slender body was and the design fitted her so well. Her hair was in a bun with a black butterfly on a flower pin to match the design of the gown. Her eyes dazzled in the chandelier light and her pink glossed lips curved upward into a smile. Kairi fluttered her eyelashes and looked down at the dark-haired boy.
"Well, how do I look?"
DJ was so close to dropping his sandwich. He stared at her and his jaw dropped as low as it could go. 'Wow… She's so… gorgeous,'. DJ didn't reply and Selphie got pissed "You can take your tongue off the floor now,"
"Huh?" he asked absentmindedly and shook his head a little to get away from the daze. Kairi just giggled "I said 'How do I look?'" she asked again and DJ smiled "You look great, Kairi," he said and both of them blushed a little while Selphie sat there pretending to throw up. "You look better than Naminé for sure,"
"Thanks,"
OoOoOoOoOoO
Kairi looked peeked through the curtains and looked at the huge crowd. "Selph, do you know who's going to be my date?" she asked, trembling a little. The hyper-active bunny continued to pin her hair and shook her head "Nope. It's all a big mystery to all of us," she joked
"But I don't want it to be someone I don't know…" Kairi replied "What if I don't know him?! Oh my God, what am I going to do?!"
"Relax, Kai-Kai. But if it's someone you don't know, just be happy about it!"
Someone from the other side of the curtains started calling out names and girls from the back started making their way into the stage. Kairi anxiously waited for her name to be called, since she was one of the very few left inside.
"Naminé Kaburagi!" the announcer called and Naminé flipped her hair back at the red head "See you on stage, low-life," she said snobbishly and she lifted her light blue dress a little and showed herself on the stage. After a few more names were called, Kairi was the only one backstage.
She twiddled with her fingers until she finally heard her name "Kairi Sonoda!"
Sora was outside, looking at all the girls on stage. He smiled as he heard Kairi's name being mentioned and saw her come out. She took careful, slow steps and she looked down a few times before looking at the crowd. Sora stared in amusement and saw how beautiful she looked in her gown. It was like a halo and two long gorgeous wings popped out of her body. 'She looks just like an angel…'
He beamed and showed his white teeth at her. 'Last time it was DJ… but Kairi's going to be my date now…' he thought confidently and knew he would be her date for that night. Suddenly, the announcer started calling names again "And Kairi's date is… Sora Tagayaki!"
Kairi's dazzling blue eyes widened to what she just heard. 'No. It's not S-Sora!' she thought but the brunette started walking up to her. He was wearing a handsome black tuxedo and black pants and a red rose in his chest pocket. He didn't bother to do his hair since he liked it that way. 'But he does look… handsome tonight. Wait, no! I shouldn't be thinking of that! Naminé is supposed to be Sora's date. Not me!'
Naminé looked at him walking to her and crossed her arms, feeling very jealous. 'No. It's a mistake! Sora's supposed to be my date. Not Kairi!'
Sora was so close to her and he held her soft hand and kissed it tenderly. A shade of red rose on her cheeks and he carefully brought her down to the dance floor as if she was a delicate flower. Soft, slow music started playing and Sora held her hand and the two slowly started to dance. Sora looked down at Kairi and he noticed that her eyes turned red 'I… I can't do this…' she thought and shook his hand off her. She ran away, holding on to her dress a little to keep her from falling.
"Kai!" he said and just heard Kairi's sobs and her heels started fading in the distance. Naminé looked at him 'Yes! This is my chance!' she thought and walked to him "Sora, don't mind her," Naminé said in her seductive voice "C'mon. We'll just have the first dance," she showed her pearly white teeth at him and she placed his hands on her waist and she placed her hands on his shoulders.
Even though Sora was dancing with Naminé for a while, he couldn't help but wonder where Kairi went. He looked all around the crowd for the red headed girl but she was nowhere to be found. She disappeared… After a while with Naminé, Sora looked down 'I can't leave Kairi alone. I need to go look for her,'
He bushed Naminé's arms off his shoulders and started to run. Naminé stopped him by tugging on his arm "Where are you going?"
"I have to look for Kairi. I don't want her to feel bad because of me," he said to Naminé and he ran away. She stood there alone, looking at the floor with everyone staring at her. She covered her eyes with her arm and ran to the closest door and pushed it away, looking at the dark garden.
Naminé saw Roxas there, sitting on one of the benches and looking up at the beautiful white moon, casting a shine on him. "Rox?" Naminé asked softly and Roxas looked at her and rose an eyebrow "Hey, what's wrong?"
She sat beside him and he wrapped his arm around her and she dug her face into his jacket, crying a little. She noticed how stupid she looked and took her face off him. "L-Let's go somewhere else. I don't want to stay here,"
"Why? Besides, we can't go out,"
"I don't care! Bring me to a bar or something," she said and the blond boy rolled his eyes "You don't even drink. You're only 15 for Christ's sake!" he said and she glared at him "There's always a first for everything, you know,"
"This is about Sora again, isn't it?" he asked and she just hung her head low, not even bothering to say something. "I knew it. Nam, Sora's not the only person on this forsaken universe… I mean, there are other guys out there! You're just focusing on one person!"
She didn't reply and continued to sob. 'He's right… But, my mom's forcing me to be his girlfriend. And I don't want my mom to get mad,' she thought and Roxas ran a hand through his blond hair in disgust and sighed "There are people better than Sora you know. You just have to look for the right guy. Y-You deserve better…"
"Like who?!" she darted back "There's no one in the world who'll love someone like me,"
He started to show a soft shade of pink rising on his cheeks. 'S-Should I tell her?' "Uh, well… I-I just… I just wanna say," he stuttered and placed a hand on her chin and rose her head up. The moon reflected her deep blue eyes and her lightly glossed lips making it harder for him to say it. "I really care for you, Nam,"
She softly smiled and he started to feel even hotter. The urge to say it just got stronger but he just couldn't say what he wanted to say for so long. "I… I lov—"
"Naminé? I need you to come over here, please!" A person screamed and Naminé looked up and pushed the tears away again. "Sorry, Rox. W-We'll talk later, okay?"
"O-okay…" he replied softly and saw her run away from the bench he was sitting on. Once she was out of his sight, he stood up and started pulling out his hair from his head. "Ugh! Why couldn't they disturb later?! I was THIS close to telling her I love her!" he shouted to himself. Good thing no one was around to hear him.
He stopped "But, if I tell her, what'll happen to our friendship?" he asked and practically collapsed. He laid himself on the bench and covered his eyes. "And what'll happen to Sora?"
Love seriously sucks.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Kairi was inside the dressing room. Tears pooled in her eyes and ran down her cheeks, messing her make-up. She looked at the huge mirror placed in front of her and wiped the black streaks out of her face. She buried her head into her arms and continued to weep until she heard a soft voice from the other side of the door. "Kairi? I know you're in there! Please come out!" her muffled voice said. Kairi's eyes widened 'Selphie?'
Selphie kept on banging on the door "Kai! Please!" her high pitched voice screamed. She looked around and saw a caramel-haired boy running towards her. "Where's Kairi?" he questioned
"I think she's in here," Selphie replied and pointed at the room where Kairi was "But she locked it. I can't open the door!"
"I'll look for the guard. Maybe he has the key. In the meantime, try to get Kairi out of there!"
She saw him run off again and looked back at the door, recklessly banging it and screaming Kairi's name. The red head girl didn't want to come out though. Being in this kind of situation was already too much for her to handle.
Once Sora came back, a guard placed the key into the keyhole. He twisted it and it made a clicking sound, telling all three of them that the door was open. Sora was the first one who burst into the door. "Kairi?!" he hollered but the room was totally empty.
…Kairi wasn't there…
'Great. She disappeared… again!!!' Sora thought as he scanned the area. "Ugh. She isn't here. Let's check if she's outside," the brown haired boy said to Selphie as she replied with a nod and went out of the room.
Once Kairi noticed that they closed the door shut, she came out of her hiding place under the table. 'Whew, that was a close one. I don't want anyone to see me like this,' Kairi pondered and decided to go outside.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Kairi's pink high heels clopped on the tiled floor as she lifted her dress a little, to make sure she wasn't going to trip. The red head looked all around her and saw that no one was inside. The chairs, tables, balloons and streamers were already taken out of the huge ballroom. 'Hmm. Guess I missed the whole dance…' She didn't mind though. At least it was quiet… until…
"Kai?" a male voice echoed in the empty room as the petite girl turned around, to see Sora walking towards her. His eyes were filled with worry and he just came closer. She couldn't dare to move, for the ground seemed to nail her at the spot. Sora lowered his head a little, but his eyes were still intertwined with hers. "Kairi, we weren't able to have our first dance…"
"But I would love… to have our last dance,"
The brunette cradled her shaky hands in his and he helped her place them on his shoulders. Sora placed his own hands around her waist and he started leading them in their dance. She followed his moves and even though there wasn't any music, they still went with their own rhythm…
Like there was some kind of magic, soft music started to play.
As the music got louder, Sora took her right hand from his shoulder, gently kissed it with his lips and held it up. Kairi's cheeks turned redder and redder with every step they took… and every breath they breathed.
Someone from the upper floor noticed the two dancing and pointed at them as he whispered something to a person beside him. Both nodded at the same time and they triggered the button to put light effects on Sora and Kairi.
Suddenly, sky blue lights splashed onto their faces and made a romantic atmosphere between the two. The lights made Sora's deep blue eyes sparkle even more and Kairi looked deep into them with mouth slightly agape.
She was completely hypnotized…
Sora looked down at her soft lips, the ones he always wanted to touch with his own so badly. His lips were so close to hers, but instead, he lowered her head a little and kissed her forehead instead. 'So close…'
He leaned in close to her ear and he whispered those words that meant so much…
"I love you, Kairi," his breath tickled her ear and her heart was filled with so much confusion. Should she feel overjoyed? Sad? Frustrated? 'I-I don't know…'. Her eyes got teary, but it wasn't tears of joy. It was tears sorrow.
"No… Y-You can't…" She whispered back and hung her head "Y-you should be with Naminé,"
"Kairi, I love you. Sure, Naminé's my friend, but that's the only thing I think of her…" he said and rose her chin up "As a friend,"
Pools of tears rolled down her eyes and she shook her head violently as the two of them stopped dancing. "Sora, no. W-We can't be together," she said "We don't have a future together. If everyone thinks we should be apart, let it be,"
He looked deeper into her violet-blue eyes. "I can't. I need you in my life. I can't go on, not knowing you'll be there," he said and his face saddened "I love you so much that it hurts, not to be with you,"
"B-But… I-I don't love you back," she lied, just to make him get over her. She had too much going on in her heart. Too many problems have occurred, and most of them were because of Sora. She didn't want to hurt him even more than she already did. "I'm sorry…" she breathed and ran away again, tears falling from her eyes.
"No. I can't let her go again," he whispered to himself and started running after her. "Kairi! Wait!"
Kairi was on the sidewalk, her body trembling in fear as she continued to run away from Sora. She almost tripped a few times because of her high heels but she couldn't care less. She had to run as fast as she could. Kairi's heart beat as fast as a booming drum and tears continued to fall from her eyes. The dark pathway made it even harder for her to see but that wouldn't stop her from running.
She felt Sora coming for her… and she didn't want to be found.
"Kai! Stop!" he shouted again and ran after her. Being able to grab her arm, he stopped both of them from running. She felt like something electrocuted her when her hand made contact with his. 'Darn. I hate that feeling,'
"Kairi, don't go. Please…"
"No! I don't want my life to be more confusing than it already is… I don't want you to be a part of it. J-Just go away, please," she cried out
Just go away... I don't want you to be burdened by what's supposed to be mine...
