a/n: My exams are over and I can now continue writing! Okay, this is one for MegaFlameHedge who asked for Kairi/Zexion

Blue Rose

Kairi huddled up into the corner of the cave, stroking Pluto's head comfortingly.

She was scared. What will these people do to her?

Sora.

Where is Sora?

"My dear, I'm afraid Sora wouldn't be coming here anytime soon."

Pluto barked out in alarm, Kairi looked up, gasping as she saw what she saw.

A small boy wearing one of the organization coats stood before her, silvery-purple hair combed over the right side of his face. He smirked and folded his arms,

"So you are that girl he's looking for…with a lovely face like that I'm not surprise he wants you."

"Who-who are you?"

The boy unfolded his arms and sauntered up to her, she gasped as he brought his face close to hers.

"I am no one you should concern yourself with." He rose up and walked to the bars of the cell, his arms folded behind his back, "But if you wish to know my name than I can tell you that, seeing as you would never hear of me again." He looked back, "My name is Zexion…and you are…?"

She stood up, this proving to be a difficult task as her legs felt like jelly, "I'm…I'm Kairi."

He stroked his chin, "Kairi…" he paced around the cell for a moment before turning back to Kairi, "I must leave now."

She reached out, "What? W-wait!"

But it was too late, before her eyes he opened a portal and took his leave.

This was not the last she saw of him. Once in a while, Zexion would reappear again; he seemed to have taken an interest into talking with Kairi, he would always stay away from her, for each step she took, he stepped back twice.

But despite that, she had never been closer to anyone as him.

One day, as they were talking, Zexion looked to Kairi and said,

"I have to leave now Kairi, Sora is coming and you will soon be free."

Kairi watched as he stood up and began to walk away. Was it going to end like this?

"Wait!"

She stood up, running to the boy; she tried to grab his sleeve. Only to watch it evaporate from her touch.

She gasped and jerked her arm away, Zexion smiled at her sadly.

"Never told you did I? I'm dead. All I am now is a mere image of my former self."

He reached out and tried to wipe away a tear that formed at the corner of the eye, smiling at his fruitless attempt as the tear continue to streak down her cheek.

"I'm sorry."

She closed her eyes; more tears fell onto the cold floor.

"Why…why do you have to go?"

He leaned forward, resting his head on her shoulder as he slowly faded away.

"Because…you're no longer be alone."

That was weeks ago, and now Kairi laid on the lone beach of Destiny Island; listening to Riku and Sora's tales, she comtemplated about how little she knew of Zexion.

Of how she only knew his name.

a/n: I find this nice personally...okay, roses have different meanings depending on the colour, blue is rare and means mystery...
