Alright, I'd like to thank the readers who have reviewed so far. I give them a cookie and a choice of a Sora, Kairi or Riku plushie.

If you want some cookies and a Sora, Riku, or Kairi plushie, please review!!!

Sorry it took me so long to update, just please give me a bunch of reviews! I plan on making a trilogy. Also, If Riku ever fell in love with a girl in this fanfiction, would it be better if the girl were human or the girl be a mermaid?

Chapter Five: Little Talk

Namine showed them all a huge basket. Kairi's and Riku's eyes widened.

"What the hell is that?" asked Riku. Namine laughed.

"Food. Want to try?"

Kairi nodded; it would be a pleasant change from all the seaweed they ate.

Namine handed an apple slice to everyone. Kairi took a bite and her mouth exploded with new tastes.

"Thanks, Namine. It's a nice change."

Roxas looked at Kairi. "From what?"

"All we eat down there is seaweed," explained Riku. "Not exactly a feast, but it's the only thing we've got."

They all laughed as Roxas and Sora made a face. Soon Roxas found a new friend in Riku, and started talking with Namine and Riku. They ventured to one side; Sora and Kairi started to watch the sun set.

Kairi pulled herself up, sitting next to Sora.

"You don't mind if- "

"No, not at all." Sora made some space for her and they both watched the sunset.

"You know," he smiled, looking at Kairi, "I used to come here with my mother every afternoon and sit here and watch the sunset. I haven't done that ever since my mother died. I've just come here, alone, to watch the sunset."

Kairi smiled at him. "I did the same thing, but I would come with my mother to watch the stars at night."

Sora looked at Kairi. The wind was gently blowing her half wet auburn hair in its direction, giving her a peaceful look. She looked down, and then looked at Sora. They smiled.

"What?"

Sora took a deep breath. "You're the most amazing person I've ever met."

She blushed. "Sora, you've known me for just a week or two. What makes you think I'm the most amazing person in the world?"

Sora looked into her blue-violet eyes; Kairi lost herself in the depths of his ocean blue eyes.

"Everyone is amazing in their own way, Kairi. Everyone's special."

"You still haven't answered my question," she laughed. Sora laughed too.

"No, I guess I haven't. I can't really explain it, Kairi, but I know that you are the nicest, most beautiful person I've ever met."

Kairi blushed like a second sun. The guy she liked was actually saying she was pretty?

"Sora, I'm not exactly a person." Sora rolled his eyes and ruffled her hair as she laughed.

"Hey! That's my hair!"

"Ha! I know."

"Well, Sora, just to say, I think you're a very nice guy, funny, intelligent, but goofy at the same time."

"Hey! That's not fair! I've just told you how pretty and smart you are, and now you're telling me I'm goofy!"

"It's true," laughed Kairi. "You are goofy, Sora. But in a good way."

Sora smiled when he heard this, and leaned back a bit, his hands behind his head, giving her his cheesy smile. Kairi laughed.

"You look like a little kid, Sora!"

They both laughed. "Yeah, that's what everyone tells me. I suppose it's true, if it comes from you."

Kairi smiled. She liked Sora, this guy that liked her the way she was. He listened to her; she knew he'd be great.

"Sora, I know you'll be a good king someday. I just know you will."

Sora smiled. "And if you ever get your kingdom, I'm sure you'll be the best queen the seven seas had ever had."

Kairi laughed. "Come on, Sora, I need to marry a guy to get the kingdom. Besides, I'm the last daughter, so I doubt I get queenship."

"Kairi," said Sora, "you gotta try and think positive."

"But how can I think positive when the truth is right in front of me? I prefer sad reality than the happiest lie."

"Why?"

"Lies are fiction. How can you live a lie? I mean, think about it," said Kairi. "I'd rather face sad truth than happiness full of lies, however empty they seem to be."

"Now that I think about it,' said Sora, "I kinda agree with you. I mean, lies will be soon taken over by the truth, and it's a lot harder to face the truth when you've lived a lie than if you've lived the sad truth your whole life."

Kairi was a bit confused. "You got me a little confused there, Sora." They both laughed, and soon a trumpet sounded.

"Sora," said namine, "we're called. We better go."

"Yeah," Roxas, Namine and Sora bid goodbye to Kairi and Riku, and the three ran off. Kairi swam to Riku and poked him.

"Ow! Kairi!"

Kairi laughed. "Come on, we better get home, bro."

As Kairi swam away, Riku took one last look at the land. With that he shook his head and dived down, and swam away.

He didn't trust Sora.
