Sorry for taking so long to update! I've had a lot going on lately, and I have a hard time coming up with ideas in the middle of class when I get bored xD But I hope you enjoy this chapter! Please review! =)

Chapter Three: Revelations

Kairi and Sora walked to their lockers, laughing and waiting for Namine and Roxas. Kairi grabbed her bag from her locker and saw Roxas chatting excitedly to Nami. Nami just smiled weakly. She must still be upset about this morning, Kairi thought.

"Sora!" Namine ran up to him. Now she was excited; Kairi smiled to herself. Namine was telling Sora about her art class; Sora was listening intently. He really cares about her, Kairi mused.

"Hey," Roxas tapped Kairi's shoulder.

"Hey," she smiled. "So, gonna tell me what you were telling Nami about before you caught up with us?"

"Oh yeah, you're not gonna believe this," he said, flipping his hair.

That was really cute.. I love it when he does that- wait! What am I thinking? I can't like Roxas that way...

Kairi's face was displaying shock, which Roxas noticed.

"Hey, what's wrong? I haven't even said anything yet." He cocked his head to the side slightly.

"Oh, oh it's nothing, keep going."

Roxas dismissed Kairi's awkwardness, and started to explain what happened in his Composition class. When Roxas was finished, Kairi was frowning. Yuna. Asked. Roxas. To. Sadies.

I hate her, she thought. Roxas was MY friend, not hers.

"Kai, you okay?"

"Hmm? Oh... yeah, sorry. I'm fine!" Kairi flashed a fake, happy smile in Roxas's direction.

"Oookay then. Let's go catch up to Sora and Nami, they're getting away!" Roxas grabbed Kairi's hand and ran with her to where Sora and Namine were walking down the sidewalk.

Riku climbed into the passenger seat of Axel's Cadillac. (A/N: Yes... a Cadillac.. lol. My friend Maggie (Emmett's-Luver) helped me decide what kind of car Axel should have because he's kind of a pimp here... lol) Expecting Axel to start driving immediately, he was surprised when Axel just sat in the driver's seat.

"What are you waiting for Axel?" Riku grumbled. He was not having a good day. Riku's answer came in the form of three people, Seifer, Yuffie, and Paine. Riku groaned.

"Really Axel? Really?"

"You know it RiRi!" Axel winked.

Riku mumbled something undistinguishable by anyone but himself, and looked out the window. What he saw made him remember how terrible a day it had been. Walking down the street were Namine, Sora, Kairi, and Roxas.

Namine, I'm sorry, Riku thought. I wasn't expecting you to approach me after I went to look out the window this morning. Everyone knows that's where I go to think... What really made me notice you was the fact that you were brave enough to come over to me. I'll forgive you, somehow. Maybe on St. White's Day. Maybe...

He let his thoughts drift away as he watched the trees pass by outside his window. He vaguely heard the others talking about something Axel was planning for the weekend.

Sometimes I wish Axel would just shut up, he thought. (A/N: I'm sorry Axel! I still love you! =) lol.)

Namine sighed as she walked through her front door. How could she have been so stupid as to disrupt Riku when he was in his space? She didn't even know what happened to the chocolates she had tried to give him.

Did he take them anyway? Probably not...

Namine sighed again as she headed up the stairs to her bedroom. Just then, a head popped out of the kitchen.

"Namine dear!"

Namine turned to see the face of her mother, Aerith.

"Yeah mom?"

"You're going to have to make dinner tonight, I'm going out with Tifa later."

"Okay mom."

She continued up the stairs. Tifa was Kairi's mom, who was Namine's mother's best friend. They were even best friends back in high school. It's no wonder why me and Kai are friends, Nami thought. I wonder if dad is going to be somewhere tonight.

Cloud was Namine's father, who happened to be friends with Tidus, who was Kairi's father. (A/N: Yes.. xD I'm sorry lol. The irony is very much. But I thought that Cloud HAD to be Namine's father.. he's blonde.. lol. And he's just cooler than Tidus in my opinion =P)

Now I know why Kairi acts that way... her parents are the same as her!

Namine flopped down onto her bed. Not even ten seconds later, her phone started playing Melt, (A/N: Yes, Melt as in the Vocaloid song originally by Miku Hatsune. It's currently my favorite song... lol) Kairi's personal ringtone. Namine answered with, "Hey Kai."

"Hey Nami! I can't believe I didn't tell you this on the way home! I'm so mad!"

"Tell me about it Kai!" Namine was faking interest. She loved Kairi immensely, of course that was a given, but she was still sad about the events of that morning.

"Okay, so on the way home today..."

Kairi recounted what Roxas had told her about Yuna.

"I hate her so much Nami!"

"I know, Kai. Did he tell you if her answered her?"

"No, and that's what frustrates me the most!"

"But Kai, don't you like Leon?"

Kairi gasped and her tone was instantly happy.

"Ooo! Speaking of Leon, he wants to go with me to Sadies, Nami! Sadies!"

Namine heard the front door shut loudly. It must be Larxene, Namine thought.

"I have to go now Kai, Larxene's home. I'll talk to you later."

"Mmkay! I love you Nami!"

"Love you too, Kai."

Namine placed her phone on her bedside table, and poked her head out of her bedroom door.

"Larxene? Are you alright?"

Larxene answered with a curt, "No, Namine I am NOT okay."

"Do you want to talk abou-"

"Do you THINK I want to talk about it?!"

"Umm.. no.. I'll just.. yeah..."

Namine closed her door softly, and once again flopped down on her bed.

What an exhausting day... I think I'll sleep for a little while...

In minutes Namine was sleeping soundly.

There we go! Lol. I like how I added the thoughts in, kind of adds a little more to the story in my opinion. Sorry about the parent pairings if you have any problems with that! I just thought it would make more sense to have Aerith as Namine's mother because Aerith is calm like Namine... lol. And Cloud... well, it shows in Larxene, does it not? Lol. Haven't figured out who Roxas' or Sora's parents are yet.. I'm running out of characters for that xD Please review! =D
