Wow. I never realized my stories could be so good. I'll edit them all later when I'm through with them. Again, thanks to EVERYONE who reviewed and for those who read the story, loved it and wished to review but simply didn't have the time. And thanks to all for helping me handle the flame, it's my first flame and I was taken aback, so thanks to all for support. I just hope I won't mess up the story!

If I ever mess up the story, please tell me so that I can change it to fit your tastes! Here's chapter seven!

Chapter Seven: Savior

Kairi swam away, her mind on Sora.

He was just inches away! Just inches away from a few seconds of happiness! Kairi sighed.

Maybe Destiny didn't want her to fall in love. Kairi had never felt this way about a guy before. And the fact that he was human made her feel as if this were a forbidden love.

Heck, even that was possible.

But… she just couldn't stop thinking about him. Her father now complained of her inattention, but she just couldn't help it. His cobalt eyes were imprinted in her mind, and in her imagination she wondered what they could do if she ever had legs.

A blush settled on her cheeks as her imagination got a little too wild. She laughed nervously, twisting a bit of her auburn hair with her finger.

Kairi suddenly felt the presence of a figure watching her. Kairi stopped and turned around in circles. She was surrounded by sea bushes, easy for a merman to capture her and take her out.

"Who's… Who's there?"

Silence. Kairi's heartbeat quickened, and her tail turned a pale shade of blue-violet in her fear.

"Who's there?" she asked. Her eyes grew afraid. "Show yourself!" She clutched her fists and put them in front of her.

"Relax, princess. You don't want to hurt your pretty little hands, now, do you?"

Kairi widened her eyes as her enemy swam out, an evil smile playing on his lips. Kairi gritted her teeth.

"Axel."

Author's Note: I'm SO SORRY!!! Axel's the best, I really do think so, and I'm sorry for those Axel lovers. It hurts me, from the heart, truly, to place Axel as the bad guy! So please, no flames!!! We all love Axel, right? runs away as potatoes, dirty socks, and other random objects get thrown at JadexOfxDarkness

The green-eyed redhead laughed. His green tail flashed in his laughter.

"Still the same, princess?"

"I'd say so, asshole."

"Now, now, Kairi," said Axel mockingly. "A princess shouldn't have a dirty mouth. It isn't proper."

"I know what's proper, thank you, Axel," said Kairi defiantly. Her retorts were just as effective as erasing permanent marker ink, but, hell, she was angry.

"So."

Axel swam up slowly; with every kick he gave forward Kairi retreated one kick back, until stone blocked her way. The only escape was right in front of her, and currently Axel took the spot.

"Daddy's not here to protect you, your highness. Guess you're all alone."

Kairi's fist flew up and at Axe, but he caught her wrist easily and looked at it, smirking. His green eyes travelled from her wrist to her eyes, and Kairi jerked her head in disgust. She was so close to the shore, and she could make a go for it.

"Let me GO, you sick bastard!"

Axel's hand snaked around her bare stomach; the cold tough momentarily snagged all movement, but Kairi was pulling away.

"Let me go!"

Axel was breathing on her neck. His hands were trying to untie the shirt she wore, and Kairi was just about to give up all hope when a blast of black and blue hit Axel.

Axel landed on the sea floor, unconscious.

Kairi was dazed, and she didn't get a chance to see her savior, as her world went black.

But she felt that warm touch.

And she knew who it was.

Sorry it's so short, I did this in class! Next chapter coming soon, I hope!
