Sora
"Honey--" She was cut off as I laid a hand on her.
"Don't you 'honey' me! I may not have authority but it is time I show some around here. I want a home school instead of going to that good-for-nothing Riku and Kairi attends. And, if any of my friends drop by, tell them I am studying."
She cries with her hands in her face then runs past me, into her bedroom where my father does his own thing from a distance. Like I care.
I hate them. I hate them with every fiber of my being.
I don't know what happened between Aros and that other guy but I will find out. I walk into my room to see Aros pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back while the stranger dressed in a black robe--not in Organization's much to my relief--looking through my childhood picture album. By now the stranger took its hood off to reveal a boy around my age with silver hair and blue eyes. Great, silver-haired people prove trouble through my experiences.
"If I am going to have anyone live with me, I should at least know their real name." I said an unenthusiastic tone and folded my arms across my chest. He sighs and closes it then put the brown book aside.
"I'm Jericho. I used to live in Radiant Garden." He said as he extends out his hand. I look at his face then back down towards his hand as if it is poison. Something tells me there is something more than he's letting on.
"What is the catch?"
Jericho withdraws his hand. "It is quite simple," Aros answers as he stops pacing, "he wants you to join on your own accord." The male teenager distracts himself by staring out the window, into the ocean as if he's avoiding my gaze while Aros' glowing eyes shows hunger for something else than hearts, what could it be?
"Join what?" I ask blankly.
"Do you want to watch every stinkin' day passed by you without any awareness?" Jericho asks with a hint of anger in his voice without his eyes meeting mine. He's trying to point out when I wasn't aware… It can't be!
As if he read my mind, he answers. "Yes, Riku and Kairi. They kissed while you were lying on the beach."
"That is not true!" I yell at the top of my lungs.
"Oh really?"
Aros wipe his hand across my reflection. Instead of seeing myself, I see Kairi and Riku just like this afternoon on the beach. Apparently they enjoyed it and that made me sick to my stomach.
"I see your point." I said coldly as the image disappears.
I turn to face both of them. "What do I have to do to get rid of Riku?" Aros smiles widely and Jericho finally turns to face me.
"So soon? It will take a while, but I can assure you'll get what you want."

Kairi
I sat down on the beach where my friends and I played on that island. The six of us did all kinds of things together, mostly competition. Today, I knew in my heart something wasn't right, just like the time I met Axel.
"Kairi?" A familiar voice asks, concerned.
I turn my head to see a transparent blonde girl standing by my side. Her pale skin matches her white dress, and like me she has cerulean eyes. Anyone that wasn't one of my two best friends that went on a journey would mistake us as twins.
"What is wrong? I can tell your heart is...disturbed." I can't lie to her. She is, after all, my non-existent self or Nobody.
I look down at the ground, finding the sand interesting. "I can't help but worry for Sora."
She places her hands behind her back and walks forward to where the waves meet the shore. "I may not have feelings like you do, but I know what it is like to be anxious. Believe me Kairi; this ominous feeling in the air is not I had hoped for when we return back to here."
I finally lift my head. "We should check both of them."
