Wow, not so many reviews yet. If everyone could tell others about this, I would greatly appreciate it. But then again, I only have three chapters up. Hope you enjoy this one.

Chapter Two

Drawn onto Stone

Morning came and Sora still didn't feel any better about what happened the day before. He could feel Roxas' presence in his mind and thought he would feel in some way the same as him.

"What do you think about this Hono guy, Roxas?" Sora asked his Nobody.

"He seems like a worthy opponent," he stated. "He was right about letting your guard down too early…"

"No! I'm talking about him being so romantic towards Kairi!" Sora interrupted.

"Big deal!"

Sora paused for a moment. "He practically did the same thing to Naminé." She was Kairi's Nobody. She was created when Sora thrust the Dark Keyblade into his chest and released her heart and he became a Heartless.

Roxas winced at this statement. He had feelings for Naminé, just like Sora had feelings for Kairi. "I guess you're right."

I'll talk to Kairi at school today, all right?"

"Yeah!" After finishing his conversation with Roxas, Sora got ready for school.

Sora didn't see Kairi all day. He didn't see her in the halls, the cafeteria, or the courtyard. When sword fighting class began he saw Kairi talking to Hono again. His blood started to boil watching them together. He walked up to them.

"Kairi," Sora asked. Hono was glared at him in disgust. "Could I talk with you for a few minutes?"

"Sure," Kairi replied. "Would you excuse me for a moment, Hono?"

The glare disappeared. "Of course, take your time." Kairi and Sora walked off and stood in an area with few people around.

"What's wrong, Sora?" Kairi looked at him concerned. "You look troubled."

Sora took a deep breath and sighed. "Kairi, I want to know what you think about me truly."

"What?"

"I want to know how you truly feel about me. Please, will you tell me?"

Kairi got an angry look on her face. "Sora, if you want to know look around the islands yourself! If you haven't realized it by now, then you are hopeless." She stomped off back to Hono. Sora felt as if he was just stabbed in the heart with a sharp Keyblade. He felt like he no longer knew Kairi.

'What did she mean by "look on the islands"?' he thought to himself. Sora slowly walked off and practiced with Riku for the rest of the hour.

Sora walked out of his house and put his necklace around his neck. He was wearing the black outfit he got from three good fairies named Flora, Fauna, and Meriwether when he started his second adventure. He looked around the main island and looked on all the trees if there were carvings that showed Kairi's feelings. He couldn't find any. He headed back to his house and grabbed his raft and paddled out to the islet across from the main island.

After about and hour of rowing, Sora finally reached the islet. He searched all the trees on the beach, an old wooden ship that was marooned on it, and even searched the forest in the center of it. He couldn't find any sign of Kairi's feeling here either. He suddenly remembered about the secret place that he and Riku used to go into when they were kids and draw on the cave walls. He headed towards a waterfall that was near an opening in a rock formation.

It was a little dark inside, but there were a few holes in the roof of the cave. There were drawings of different things. One was a huge bird about the same size as an ostrich or an emu. Another was a great castle with star and moon patterned steeples with a duck in a wizard's hat next to it. Sora remembered drawing it. It now reminded him of his friend, Donald Duck. 'Maybe I'm psychic.' He thought to himself and continued forward. He noticed another drawing that caught his eye. It was a drawing that he and Kairi did when they were about twelve-years old. Kairi drew a profile of Sora's head. Next to it was a profile of Kairi's head. Sora could tell who the better artist was. When he was fourteen, he added onto it by putting an arm in front of his head with a star in his hand. It was supposed to represent a paupou fruit. Legends had it that when two people who really care for each other share one, their lives would be intertwined through eternity.

But something was different about the drawing. There was an arm with a paupou fruit extended towards Sora's head from Kairi. Sora fell to his knees. This just had to be the sign of Kairi's true feelings. He smiled and slowly got up off the ground. He headed towards the mouth of the cave and looked back at the drawing.

Kairi was in her pink dress and white tank top and was walking around town. She heard footsteps behind her. Sora ran in front of her and blocked her path. She stopped and looked at him in disgust. Sora stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her. She was surprised. Sora looked at her with eyes that glistened in the setting sun. She wrapped her arms around his torso and felt great comfort. She thought she would just collapse in his arms and never wake up. He wasn't hopeless after all.

This is the shortest chapter yet. I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as possible. Kairi and Riku have their Awakenings and go up against great opponents. And please, read and review.
