Chapter Three: Comforting Kairi
Kairi swam away, somewhat torn from being separated once more. These humans were so interesting, especially that prince Sora….
Kairi was so lost in her thoughts that she bumped into her father. She saw not a smile but an angry frown on her father.
"Kairi, where were you?"
Kairi looked down. "I- I- I was…w- well, I was…"
Her father frowned at Kairi. "You were at the shore?"
Kairi nodded shyly. Her father exploded.
"Why, Kairi? You know you're not supposed to see humans! What's wrong with you?"
Kairi looked in defiance at her father. "There's noting wrong with me! I just find other things more interesting, thats all!"
Her father was so angry, he didn't think of the words he would say next.
"Oh, Kairi, you're SO stubborn, and so stupid, just like your mother!"
He immediately regretted that.
"Kairi- "
"What?" she whispered. Her father sighed. He tried to hug Kairi, but she backed up.
"Kairi, I'm sorry."
Kairi shook her head. "Sorry doesn't cut it." She swam away, leaving a torn father behind.

Sora walked on the sand, the moonlight shining in the ocean. He sighed.
He couldn't wait to see Kairi again. She was one of the only girls who weren't afraid of him.
He walked to the port but stopped when he heard some singing. It was at the little port. He ran to see Kairi singing in one of the saddest voices he had ever heard, sitting on the port, her tail above the water. He walked silently to the crying mermaid until her was right behind her.
You don't know my name
You don't know anything about me
And you've been all wrong about
who you think I am
If you'd only given me a chance
-
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know how it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend
On the outside
Looking in
-
I'm tired of staying at home
I'm bored and all alone
I'm sick of wasting all my time
-
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't how it feels
On the outside looking in
-
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend
On the outside looking in.
"Kairi?"
Kairi looked behind her to see Sora looking at her.
"Oh, hey Sora." She looked down, and Sora sat next to Kairi.
"What's wrong?"
She sighed. "You won't understand."
Sora sighed. "Well, I'll try to understand. Now, what's wrong, Kairi?"
"Well, my father just called me stupid and stubborn, and he insulted my mother. On top of that he doesn' t love the real me. He's not like Namine or Roxas or you. But then..."
Sora nodded, understanding. "Then what?"
"I didn't become a mermaid because I wanted to."
Sora nodded. "True. You're a mermaid because that's what you are. A beautiful, smart, singing mermaid. You had no choice- perhaps it's the best choice."
Kairi blushed. "Thanks, Sora. But i want to be human."
"There's a reason for everything, Kairi. There's a reason why I'm a prince. there's a reason why Namine is engaged to anothe rprince and Roxas doesn't like it. And there is a reason why you're a mermaid."
Kairi looked in the depths of his blue eyes.
"Thanks, Sora."
Kairi looked into his deep blue eyes. She could stare at them forever.
"But my father- I don't think I can forgive him."
"I think you can. It's unhealthy to hold a grudge against someone, Kairi. I think he'll apologize."
"Really, Sora?"
Sora was literally drowning in the depths of her blue- violet eyes.
"Truly."
Sora gave Kairi a hug. Kairi smiled, surprised all the same, and hugged back. She felt a happy tingling sensation. Sora smiled.
"Thanks, Sora."
"No problem."
Suddenly a body popped out of the water. Kairi and Sora separated immediately.
It was her father.
"Kairi, I'm sorry. Can we talk?"
Kairi sighed. "Alright. See ya later, Sora."
"Alright, see you, Kairi." Sora stood up as Kairi fell into the water. Kairi looked up at Sora once more.
"Thanks, Sora." He smiled.
"Anytime." He smiled once more as the two disappeared into the water.
He walked away, feeling a bit happier now that he helped Kairi.
Ok, thanks to my ONLY reviewers! I love you forever!(ok, not literally)
