Once again, our friend guilt visited Sora. It was because of him that Kairi was unconsious. And it was because of him this whole mess came up to happen.

"I'm just a hinderance. I get in people's ways." he whispered to himself. He looked at himself. Well, not really. And he sighed. "What better than to get out of here? Maybe I should just kill myself, so everybody's lives become easier."

The idea didn't seem too foreign, but he knew it wasn't a good idea, either. But the way he was thinking and how thiese thoughts clouded his mind, it didn't seem so bad.

Suicide.

Sora was in his outfit given to him by the Fairy Godmothers at Yed Sid's tower. He looked at his choice of clothing, and wondered why he decided to wear this. He would never know, but it gave him a thought that said "You were never useless.", and this caused him to hinder the suicide.

The brunet was serious about this, actually. He actually considered suicide an open option. So, to get one last look before he approched Death, Sora decided to walk around the island he used to play on all the time. See everybody one last time. See Kairi for the very, last time.

"I love her, but she didn't, and still doesn't love me back." he told himself. "Kairi's too good for me."

Wandering the island, a few people waved some hands at him. He waved back, saying "Hey," to them, and thenn walking off. He needed to make sure he didn't miss anybody or anything. Sora's eyes traveled to a little, specific area that was precious to him. He didn't remember it at first, but as he approached the spot, three words rang in his mind.

"Because you're special."

He then remembered everything about it: The Secret Place he was defending when Kairi first came. The Secret Place she was snuck into by Sora "because she was special". And suddenly, he began to make a run for it; to go to The Secret Place.


"Ugh...where am I?"

Kairi's eyes opened slightly, to tell her she was at home. "What...what happened?" she whispered, hoping somebody would answer.
"You miraculously survived impalement by Roxas," Riku's deep voice answered. "surprisingly."
"Wh-where's Sora?" she couldn't help but ask. Her eyes searched her room, but no sign of the brunet boy was present.
"Took a walk. Might wanna look around the island."

She immediately leaped out of the bed. "I'll be back!"
"But, Kairi, wait!" Riku called after her as she sprinted out the door.
"See ya!"

Riku sighed. And understood what Kairi was going to do.


He entered the cave, almost forgetting what it was. Those beryl-coloured eyes scanned the more-then-familiar area of nature. He placed a hand on the wall, spotting a drawing. The brunet couldn't remember it being so big...or coloured in. The boy walked on, grazing his hand on the stone surface while observing the drawings that surrounded him. To tell you the truth, Sora was captivated.

"She did all...all of this?" he had asked himself. but he smiled a little bit, and continued towards the end. That is, until a familiar area flashed in front of him. His cerulean eyes widened.

It was a mural, a small one, of a spikey-haired boy, reaching to a sloppy-coloured girl with a star in it's hand. That was one part he remembered. He didn't remember the other part, which was the girl...giving one back. Sora froze, and couldn't resist a smile. So, the brunet boy grabbed a nearby stone, went on two knees, and began to draw. That is...

That is...

"You never were the artistic type, Sora, so before you add anything..." a feminine voice rang in the cave. He whirled around to see a redheaded girl, standing there.
"K-Kairi!" he stuttered, not quite understanding why she was here. "You should be at home! Are you okay?" Sora got up from his knees, and approached the red-haired girl.

"I'm fine, Sora." she simply told him, giving him an innocent smile. He gave her a look of slight understanding, and sighed.

"Look, Kairi, I-,"
"I came to apologize." Kairi quickly spat out, interrupting Sora in mid-sentence.
His eyes widened. "For...for what exactly?" he contradicted her statement. "You shouldn't apologize, Kairi, I was the one that-,"
"For acting the way I did." Kairi explained to him. "I shouldn't've just ignored you like that. I really hope you aren't mad at me."
"I shouldn't have yelled at you, and even if it weren't my fault, I'd take the blame."

Kairi sighed, and took his hand. He stared in shock, but she didn't look back at him. Instead, she lead him to the drawing he was about to add to. As they stared, she enveloped her arms around her friend. "I'm sorry," she mumbled.
"It's okay, Kairi," he replied quietly, hugging her back. He felt her arms loosen, and let go. Kairi stared into his eyes; her own indigo-coloured ones enticed by his colour eyes. He looked back at her, and his look was fully understanding. Suddenly, she pulled him to the ground, and his back his against the door, and Kairi was between his legs. He stared in shock.

"Uhmm...Kairi?" he asked. "What're you doing?"
"I have something to tell you, Sora." she whispered, avoiding eye contact with him.
"Lemme guess?" he offered. Kairi's head shot up, and became trapped in his captivating, blue eyes. "Kairi," he addressed her name quietly, and leaned in slowly. She remained stationary as their faces bacame only inches apart. Kairi understood what he was trying to do, and leaned in as well, so their lips gently crashed into eachother. Their similarly-coloured eyes both closed lightly, as they enjoyed the moment together.

Shortly after, Sora broke the kiss to get the final part of his message through. "K-Kairi, I..." the brunet began to stutter at his redenning face, and his actions. "I...I love you, Kairi,"
The red-headed girl failed to surpress a giggle, as an evident blush highlighted her cheeks. "You just took those words outta my mouth, Sora." One again, Kairi giggled, and hugged him almost immediately. "So, I'll repeat them, just for you. I love you, too."
"C'mon, Kairi," he stodd up, taking her hand. She looked up. "You can ride on my back, y'know, like a piggy-back."
"It's okay, Sora," she told him. He frowned.
"You must be tired from walking...and getting implaed by a Keyblade." he insisted, and mumbled the last part.
"Really, it's okay."
"I insist, Princess." he growled, playfully, while bringing up her status. She couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, alright." she accepted as she placed her hands on his shoulders.

"Okay, one...two...three!" they said in unison as Kairi used the ground as a spring board. Quickly, he grabbed her legs. And they were successfull with the piggy-back position. Luckily for them, they got on the first try.

She wrapped her arms loosely around Sora's neck as he began to walk out of the...place. She sighed. "When was the last time we did this, Sora?"
"Hmm...I dunno." he told her. "Probably when we were in grade school."
"Probably." she replied. Kairi placed her head on one of his shoulders, and closed her eyes.

Serenity, at last.


(This is a result of inspiration overdose. A double update.)

Dudes. I don't know if you knew.
Because I don't think you do...er, did.
But this story has been discontinued.
"Why?", do you ask?
Well, probably because, it's DONE.
Yes, you heard me. I was right, there IS a happy ending.
:D
I have to leave one of the longest author's note ever down here.
One: I totally forgot disclaimers for half of the chapters, so...I FREAKIN' DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS ZOMG!
Two: If you didn't get my story, it's basically like this. Sora and Riku came back, Sora was all weird, Kairi tries to help. He doesn't want it, so they're sorta mad at eachother, but they wanna talk and stuff. And yeah, darkness gets to him, blah blah blah, Roxas comes and he's like "WTF...", I guess. So yeah...Whatever darkness thingy was doing, it was trying to get Kairi's heart, and blahblahblah, I hope you get the rest.
Three: This chapter was pre-written, I just changed some words around and stuff.
Four: I'd REALLY love to thank my reviewers. Seriously, you guys are the BEST!!! And this story did a LOT better than Reunions, for those who read Naruto fics as well, check Reunions out? It's not that great, but I LOVE chapter 7. :D
Five: I'll just...GO NOW!
