Chapter 25: Secrets are meant to be told

"He's what?" whimpered Kairi, afraid of what he'll tell her. "Reno, please," begged Axel with saddening eyes. Reno turned to Axel and smiled weakly. Axel sighed in defeat and gave his brother a look to tell Kairi the truth. Kairi was shaking to worry for what the boys were going to tell her. What secret were they talking about and when she heard the news, her heart shattered right there and her body disfunctioned straight away.

"Kairi……Axel's your brother. You guys are related,"

Her heart shattered right there. Those shocking words entered her fragile ears, bleeding them. Her mouth opened slightly, gasping softly for air. She was speechless. Sora had a confused look too. He never knew Kairi was related to the spiky redhead in front of him. He turned to Kairi, whose eyes had turned watery but for some reason, she was smiling.

She has seriously lost it.

What she did next was unexected. She laughed. Her giggles echoed throughout the night. Her dress soaked to her body which was vibrating from the laughing. Reno and Axel looked at her with curiosity. Why was she laughing? Kairi stopped and looked straight to Axel.

"You're my brother? Yeah right. And I'm the queen of Atlantica,"

"This is serious Kairi!" snapped Reno, annoyed by her silliness. "Axel is really your brother,"

This made Kairi laugh more. Sora frowned to her. He knew what she was doing. She was laughing to hide the pain that sliced the insides of her shivering and weak body. She shouldn't do that. It would hurt her more. Tears were slowly flowing already.

She seized her giggles and waved to them. "Guys, thanks for the humor. It really cheered me up. I'm tired now so I'm going back to school. Bye. Oh, thanks again. It really brightened my day," she said and with that, slowly walked off, hugging herself. Sora was about to stop her when Reno beat him. He ran to her and stood directly in front of the cold girl.

"I know what you're doing. You're running away from the truth. Stop doing that! Face the truth girl! Axel's your brother wether you like it or not. He-'s,"

"Stop!" yelled Kairi, covering her ears. "I don't want to listen anymore," Reno gabbed her arms, pulling them down and placing them to her sides. "Axel is your father's son and so are you and Namine. He was born by the same mother. Your mother. You-,"

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Please! I can't hear it anymore! Please!" begged Kairi. Her whole body shook as tears wetted her face. She couldn't bear hearing it anymore. She couldn't take it anymore. Reno lowered his head but held his firm to her arms firmly. "You're going to hear wether you like it or not!" said Reno, holding her tightly. She lowered her head and sobbed uncontrolbally.

"Reno, stop! I'll do it! I'll tell her!" said Axel, taking Kairi away from Reno. The older redhead looked at Axel, receiving a nod from him. He sighed and handed Kairi to his brother, who wrapped her in his arms immediately. Kairi couldn't take it anymore. She broke down in her brother's arms. Why was she crying? She had no reason to cry right?

But she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. Her sobs made Axel hug her more tightly. Sora looked from afar, jealousy rose in him. He was always there to comfort her but now, Axel replaced him. Kairi's head grew light as she held it and before she knew it, darkness suronded her.

"Kairi!" yelled, Axel, holding her limp body from falling. Reno and Sora ran to them, watching Axel trying to wake her up. Her eyes closed shut and her breathing went calmer. She had fainted. Seeing her peaceful and relaxed face made Sora feel a bit calm. At least she was alright.

"Come on," he said, turning to Axel who had a worried face. "We'll take her to our dorm and then you can tell her," Axel nodded, carrying Kairi bridal style as the three of them left to the school.

Axel sat down, a hand cupping his chin as his eyes darted to the sleeping girl on her bed. Her chest rising up and down and her face wet from the sweat that trickled down her forehead. Axel heaved a sigh, not knowing how to tell her the truth. In fact, he never intended to tell her for he just found out too.

He remembered his reaction when his father told him. He couldn't blame Kairi for how she felt. He felt the same way too. He was shocked, speechless. He even thought his father was joking but no. He was dead serious. The world seemed to stop for Axel then.

Everything was going perfectly. He still loved Kairi, more than a sister. He wished he could have known it sooner. If he did, he wouldn't have done all those mean stuff to her. He would never intend to hurt her. But it wasn't his fault. He just found out at least a few days ago so he couldn't do anything to replace the past.

A stir under those pink covers made his attention back to his sister. Kairi slowly opened her dull sky blue eyes, her eyelids begged to be closed again. She wanted to forget what she had heard, forget all the rumors that crashed onto her petite body.

Her eyes squinted again, head throbbing from the pain it held. Her thoughts swirled around and around inside her vacant mind. She held her head dearly into her sweaty palms, trying to reduce the damage that had been done.

"Kairi? Are you okay?"

Her eyes widened with shock to those words. Her head slowly turned to her so called sibling. He gave her a weak smile, standing up and made his way to her. Her fingers clutched tightly to the wrinkled covers hiding her white skin.

Axel placed his weight onto her bed, staring deeply to her appearance. An awkward silence greeted them. Neither dared to speak or make a sound. Her red hair hung low with her head, keeping calm from bursting out to the other redhead beside her.

He opened his mouth to say something but she beat him to it. "Tell me everything," she muttered. At least she was honest and wanted to get to the point.

"A-Are you sure? Its really-,"

"Just fucking tell me already! I need to know!" snapped Kairi with anger. Axel was suprised to her reaction but understood. He heaved a sigh and lowered his head.

"Before your mom and dad got married, they were already an item. One night, I guess they lost control and got rough in bed if you get my drift. Anyway, that was how your mum got pregnant and had me but they were so young. They didn't know anything about being a parent. So, when I was born, they sent me to one of their friends who took care of me,"

Kairi gasped mentally when she heard her brother's sad tale. Her heart wrenched with sadness of the pain he endured. She gulped down the saliva and said to him. "Then….what happened?" Axel looked back to her, eyes wanting to cry but he needed to be strong.

"He took good care of me. Your father would always visit me though. He's a very responsible person. Your mother wanted to too but your father would never allow it. I don't know why. He never told me that I had younger sisters. I didn't know Kairi. I swear it,"

Kairi held back tears when she reminisced about the past. How much she hated her parents now. How could they do that to him? Give him to a friend to take care of the production of their actions. Her grip tightened to her cover and she frowned.

"Kairi, I'm so sorry," said Axel and placed his arms around her body. She shuddered from his touch. Her eyes widened when her mind began replaying the horrible incidents that he forced her to do. She wanted to throw up when she realised she had kissed her own brother.

She slowly lifted her arms and gently pushed him off her. Axel looked to her with wonderous eyes and sighed. "Why……?" asked Kairi softly.

"Wha- What?" repeated Axel.

Kairi turned to him and gave him a glare. "Why didn't you tell me straight away when you found out? I deserve to know! I am the person you should tell! I am the one who should be hearing this first! Me!"

"I was scared you wouldn't believe me. I was afraid you'll get hurt,"

"Hurt?" she asked and gave a weak laugh. "You know nothing about hurt. In my life, I've been hurt many times. By my parents, by my friends, by Sora, by my boyfriends….now….you're on my hurt list too," Axel blinked slowly, feeling guilty to all the past actions he did to his sister.

"Sorry is useless now. My heart has been through too much already. If life means misery, I want to die. I want to get out of this world. I want to die and leave all my hatred behind. You caused so much pain to me. You have no idea. The things you forced me to do. You're a bastard you know that?"

The male redhead didn't know how to respond to the harsh words the girl threw to him. All he could do was stay silent and listen to them, absorbing every word and insult. He closed his eyes, bracing himself for more words that will shower him but they never came. Instead, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around his body.

He opened his eyes and was immediately covered by Kairi's auburn hair. Her arms around her protectively, holding his skin close to hers. "Even if you hurt me, Axel, you're still my brother and its not your fault you are. I could never hate one of my siblings, right bro?" she said, a tinge of jokeness in her cracking voice.

Axel could merely smile and pat her head softly, stroking her hair and embraced her back, inhaling her heat as it flowed through him. "You are a nice girl, Kairi. I'm not sure how you could accept me after all I've done,"

"Ssh, its not your fault. Like I said, I could never hate you. I forgive you, Axel. I forgive you….,"

Axel smiled with joy and released his grip as he pulled away. He caressed her cheek with his thumb and threw away the tears that fell. Kairi smiled weakly and cleaned up her face a bit, making her look decent. She then frowned and glared to him again. Axel noticed this and arched his eyebrows in confusion.

"What is it now?"

"I'll forgive you on one condition," said Kairi and pointed to his chest, poking it. "You have to tell your possy to quit disturbing me and my friends. Got it memorized?"

Axel laughed and sighed deeply. "I can't gurantee it but I'll try my best. Does…umm….Sora count as one of your friends?"

"Him? No way. You can torture him all you want. I'll be happy to assist you in that department,"

Axel gave a chuckle and ruffled the young lady's hair, making her giggle.

"That's my sister,"

Riku 's eyes nearly fell shut as he pretended to listen to the ramblings of the girl beside him. His eyes focused on only her but he could not hear the words that came out of her lips. He watched them move up and down, nothing coming out.

Wow, she's so beautiful.

"Riku? Hello? Are you paying attention or not?"

"Huh? What did you say Mitch?"

Michelle sighed and threw an eraser to his face. He twitched slightly and glared at her. "What was that for? I thought you were going to teach me history since you're so good at it," whined the silver haired teen.

"I am teaching you. You're the one not listening to me,"

"Sorry. Its not my fault history's so boring and dull,"

"But its your fault for never listening to Mr Turner's explanation when he was giving extra lessons!"

Riku scoffed to the teacher's name and played with his pencil, twirling it around like the propellar of a helicopter. "I'm tired of learning history. How about we do something more fun?"

"Like what?" questioned the brunette headed girl. Riku smirked slyly and began crawling towards the girl. Michelle saw this and grabbed her water bottle. "Don't even think about it Allster!" Riku ignored her comment and kept on walking on his hands and knees as he neared the teen.

Michelle kept scooting back, looking at him intensely. He neared her body and placed his hand on her lap, getting closer to her face. "What are you doing, Riku?" she asked nervously. He kept his smirk and was inches away from her pale face.

"You'll see,"

"RIKU, GET OFF HER THIS INSTANT!"

Riku groaned in frustration and got off the girl. He turned around and flinched when he saw a terrifying Chleo. She glared at her younger sibling, holding a rolled up magazine. Tapping it her foot onto the floor, she placed her hands on her hips and looked to the two as though they were caught doing something naughty.

"Riku, what the hell are you trying to do? Dad must have passed down his out of control hormones to you unfortunately. I thought I made it clear. No sex before marriage or I will personally shove this magazine up your sorry ass!"

"Ah! Go smooch Leon and leave me to be!" snapped Riku back. Chleo gritted her teeth and stormed to Riku, hitting him on the head with the magazine as a weapon. Riku tried to defend himself using his arms but still, Chleo was known as a strong girl.

Michelle watched blankly as the two continued bickering and hitting each other. She sighed deeply and smiled to herself.

"Siblings. Must be fun having them,"

Namine threw her cell phone to her bed, flopping down on it afterwards. She looked to her white ceiling, smiling alone. Her fingers began playing with the promise ring her blonde boyfriend gave her. How sweet it was of him to do so. She slid it back onto her slender finger, looking at it with pride. She felt as though she were the luckiest girl to step foot on earth.

To her, she was. Being lucky for having an awesome boyfriend like Roxas.

'My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and their like, its better than yours, damn right, its better than yours, I can teach you but I have to charge'

"Hello?" answered Namine as she picked up her cell phone.

Silence.

"Hello?" she asked again, looking to the caller ID.

Silence.

"Hayner? What do you want? I know its you. I have Caller ID genius,"

"This isn't Hayner,"

Namine's eyes widened when she heard the voice. It was the same voice she heard at her birthday party. The same person who claimed his love for her on the ship. Her grip on the phone loosened but she held it firmly, her voice cracking. "What…What do you want?"

"I……want…….,"

Silence.

Namine waited patiently for him to continue. Nothing. All she could hear was harsh breathing. His breathing. It was deep and hollow. Sending shivers down her spine everytime she thought about him. She was about to say something when he interupted her.

"I….want….you,"

Beep, beep, beep.

"Hello? Hello?"

It was no use. He hung up. Namine slowly pulled her phone away from her ear as she dropped it to the ground. Why her? She wasn't the most beautiful girl ever. Why would he choose her out of all the people? Why? She didn't want to be fonded by boys or have any admirers. She already had Roxas and that was all she needed.

She never asked to have this maniac coming after her. She didn't want that. But what could she do? God has something big planned for her but when it concerned this crazy boy, Namine wished and prayed hard to the almighty above that he would stop this horrible nightmare once and for all.

Time seemed to just fly by for our little group of friends. Months passed by fast and to their surprise, it was already the first day of September. Nothing changed much for them. Riku and Michelle remained the best of friends after all they went through. They decided to forget the past and move on as pals like the old times. Though the love was still buried deep inside their hearts.

Hayner and Olette had gotten back together, a cute couple like always. Selphie and Tidus still haven't proclaimed the romance intrest to each other, Phoebe and Zexion were one happy item, always together where ever you go. Roxas was still concerned for Namine because lately, she was silent and seemed distracted. Probably about the recent phone calls she's been getting.

As for our bickering duesome, they are still arguing, shouts and yells and insults filled their dorm 24/7. Nothing could ever stop their daily quarrels. But through thick and thin, Sora would always be there for Kairi. Now, it would be harder due to the overprotectiveness of Axel who would always keep an eye on Sora whenever he was near the redheaded girl.

Until that one fateful day….everything changed.

Since it was the first of September, it meant cleaning up day. It has been a common thing for Sora and Kairi. They had agreed every first day of every month, they would clean up their rooms and throw away any junk that took up the space they needed.

As always also, Sora was busy dumping items for Kairi to pick up.

"Urgh, why do I ever tolerate with him? How many junk does this guy have?" mumbled Kairi to herself as she panted softly, exhausted. She was now piling up the boxes that were everywhere around the dorm. Not even a speck of their furniture could be seen. Everywhere you turn, a box would be there.

"Hey, porcupine head! Why are you throwing away clothes too?" asked Kairi out loud, lifting up a box filled with many attires contained in it. Sora's head came out from his room, rolling his eyes when he saw her struggle with the four squared container.

"Those are the clothes that don't fit me anymore. Tomorrow, my dresser will come and hand me the clothes I just bought yesterday. She should have come today, but someone insisted we do this cleaning thing at night,"

"Cleaning at night adds more energy to me okay? Hopefully, you'll have better taste in picking your clothes this time. No more barney pajamas,"

"Spiderman. Spiderman pajamas. Sheesh, get it right for once!"

Kairi ignored him, lifting up more boxes and sorting them out. She then came upon a box, quite small. She opened it, seeing through the contents. It was mostly old trophies, photos, toys and many more. She was about to close it when an item caught her keen eye.

An old tape box.

Her eyebrows arched when she saw what was inscriped on it.

SECRET CONFESSIONS OF A LOVESICK TEENAGE BOY

Her evil side took over the angelic side of Kairi, making her snicker and hiding it behind her back when Sora came into the living room, grabbing the scissors. He turned to Kairi, wondering why she was smiling to herself. "You like cleaning that much?"

"Why'd you ask?"

"Cause your smiling like a chesire cat,"

"Shut up. Is it wrong to smile?"

"No. I'm just sayin-,"

"Then quit being a busy body, fishbreath. I'm going to my room for awhile,"

Sora just shrugged, not caring what she did and went back into his room. When the coast was clear, she grinned and slowly snuk into her room. Closing the door when she entered, she went to her radio and inserted the tape. Her finger pressed the 'play' button and she sat down on the floor, holding the cover of the tape tightly.

"Testing….testing…one….two…three….,"

Kairi was suprised when she heard it was Sora. She could tell it was his voice. She continued to listen to it carefully.

"Hmm….I have no idea what to say. I just bought this stupid piece of shit and now I have no idea what to say. Well….lets start with my useless love life. As usual, I have no girlfriend. Not after what happened to Fuu……,"

Kairi sighed when she heard that name. A tinge of jealousy rose in her, for no apparent reason. She had no right to be jealous.

"Anyway, there is one special girl to me though. But I'm confused to my feelings. I don't know for sure if I really love her or not. Sometimes, I feel like gripping her throat and shredding her to bits….harsh but honest….. Yet sometimes, she can make me feel on air and smile whenever I see her happy,"

The redhead pondered for awhile. Sora had a crush and she never knew about it? How was that possible? Yet again, she wasn't his girl so she had no buisness to find out. Sora then laughed, making Kairi focus back on the tape.

"She's beautiful….I'm telling the truth. So beautiful until……people hurt her badly. Including me…I know, you're probably wondering why would I hurt the girl I supposedly love. I'm not doing this on purpose. I would never hurt her on purpose. It just……..happens. Like fate,"

She scoffed when he stated those words. Sora had always told her he never believed in fate.

"I sound like a corny lover now don't I? What can I do? She has this power to make me feel so….different. She's different from other girls. She's tough, independent, athletic, beautiful, funny, cheerful…did I mention beautiful?"

"Yeah, like a million times," said Kairi, sarcastically.

"No girl could ever replace her. We used to be so close…..so close…until I ruined it. I ruined it all. For what? For some stupid test. God, I hate myself. I was so young and naïve. I wish to turn back time, stopping me from pushing her. How I wish that?"

Kairi arched her eyebrow, who was this girl? Her history with him sounded familiar somehow….

"I think I can figure my feelings out now. Although I know its impossible for her to love me back as much as I love her, I will keep our relationship as it is. Even if it means quarreling, bickering, arguing and insulting. Hearing her angelic voice is enough for me,"

Her eye's popped wide open. Her breathing grew rasper. She had a suspect to who this girl was and she prayed to god she was wrong. But unfortunately, what came next nearly took her life away.

"That's it. This is a confession of a lovesick teenage boy named Sora. I, Sora Revene, love my worst enemy and past time childhood friend. Love her so much.

I love you Kairi

I love you Kairi

I love you

Kairi

And I was wondering if you could love me too?"

It was then that her heart froze right there. Its beating stopped, her breathing grew harder. She felt like no oxygen was there in the room. Her body stiff there, sitting as she absorbed the words her ears had heard. She felt as though everything went black, and a spotlight was on her. She was shocked until no words could describe her feelings.

I love you Kairi

Those words stung her like millions of needles being poked through her chest.

Love you Kairi

Her name followed by those two words were never meant to be put together. She never planned for it to be that way.

Love you

She had never ever wanted him to feel that way to her. How could he? He shouldn't.

Love

"Yo redhead, what the fuck are you doing in there?" asked Sora, from out of her bedroom door. Kairi had no energy to answer him back. She felt as though death awaited her. Her world had no meaning. Her worst ever enemy, who caused her so much pain, caused her to shed so many tears, just confessed he loved her. Not liked or had a crush. Loved.

The door opened and Sora stepped in. "Miss slowpoke, what are you-,"

His eyes widened when he saw the tears that fell from her face. His eyebrows rose as he studied her, wondering what was wrong. "Whats with you?" he asked, relaxed and normal as usual. Kairi's whole body shook from wanting to just break down there. The shock hit her so hard, she could never overcome it.

She slowly stood up, barely. Her knees quivered as she gripped her fists and looked to him with crying eyes. "W-Why?"

"Why what?" replied the boy, oblivious to everything.

"Why? God damn it tell me why? Why must you love me? That's wrong!" snapped Kairi, letting out her anger. Sora kept his blank look and gasped softly when he saw the cover of the tape. "Wh-Where did you find that? I thought I threw it away. I-,"

"Tell me! Tell me why should I love you back Sora?" asked Kairi, tears coming out. "Do you know how many times I screamed, how many pain my heart felt, how many tears I cried since I met you? Huh? Do you?"

Sora was speechless, nothing could come across his mind. He had no lines to say to her, only managing to stare at her, looking as tears slowly dripped to the floor below. She sobbed and wiped her tears, blinking them away and threw him the cover. "You asked me if I could love you Sora, let me tell you the answer,"

She walked up to him, he held his breath as she neared him, sending him chills. Her eyes met with his, fire forming in her blue orbs. "The answer is simple Sora," She stood in front of him, looking deeply into his face. She had on a serious face, tears wetted her pale face. Horror and shock covered her true beauty.

"My answer, Sora……..is…….,"

He awaited her answer dearly. His hopes at least were a little high. Just a little.

"No,"

His hopes immediately fell down, dead straight away. His world darkened, shrouded with sadness immediately. His heart scrunched up, feeling it twist and turn. Her tears welded up in her eyes, pushing him aside as she ran out of the dorm, slamming the door.

Sora stood there, not knowing what to do. What was he supposed to do? His mind told him to stay here, no use going after a girl who just rejected you. Who just spat in your face the words of dismayel. But his weak, beating heart told him otherwise. Follow her it said. Even if she said no, your love for her is still there. Prove to her, you can be there for her.

Love her, protect her, be the boy she always wanted. He gripped his gloved hands, thinking of what to do. He finally made his decision and quickly turned back to the door, grabbing his keys along the way, and exited the dorm, hoping to find the broken girl in time.

He was like a maniac. Running around the streets, looking around for her. He pushed softly people aside, running and panting as his blue orbs scanned the crowd for a tinge of her. She was no where in sight. Not even a strand of her red lucious hair was there.

He ruffled his hair, feeling like giving up. It was no use. There was too many people around. He was determined though, he must find her no matter what. He tip toed and began looking for her again. His heart beating faster than ever. Sweat trickled down his forehead, tired from running so much.

He crossed many roads, asking nearby people to wether they had seen a redheaded teen. His feet ran across the pavement, like a crazy man searching for adventure. He was tired but the thought of her made him gain strength again.

He stopped every red headed lady he saw, no matter the age. He didn't care if people thought he was crazy or needed to go to an asylum. As long as he found her, everything didn't matter. His head turned right to left constantley every second.

His brown hair swayed with the wind, along with him ruffling it in frustration. He then lost complete energy, slumping on a wall, falling to the ground. He panted heavily and rummaged through his pocket. Hoping to find a tissue, a bracelet fell.

He looked to it and slowly picked it up. It was the bracelet to which Kairi tugged off when he pushed her into the river. He had spent hours sewing it back together but never gave it back to her. Instead, it became his own special charm.

He then gasped with shock when an idea hit him. He quickly stood up and held the bracelet firmly, running to the destination to which he suspected the girl was. Hopefully he was right.

-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-

Why me?

Kairi hugged herself, keeping herself warm as she sat at the park to where she would always go to calm her mind. Dried leaves surronded her as cold mist came out from her open mouth. Tears were still falling from her dull eyes, making her face drench.

She sobbed softly to herself, the wind blowing her hair. It flowed with the current of the wind, making it look as though she were floating. She didn't have time to grab her coat so the coldness surronded her. Plus, it was at night. The air was colder than ever.

Her thoughts went back to the tape. How she regretted listening to it. Now, her mind was having a battle with her heart.

Stop lying to yourself. Said her heart.

I'm not. I don't have any feelings for him so I just told him the truth.

I said stop lying to yourself. You're just hurting your own self. Admidt it.

I…..I can't. I won't. You can't prove I love him.

Can't I? What do you feel when he touches you? When he holds you with his arms? When he kisses you with his lips? When he says those soothing words to you?

I…..I will always get this weird feeling in me.

That weird feeling is love, my dear.

No! Its not!

It is. You feel like you're on air. You feel as though you died and went to heaven. You feel like he's the only one that mattered. He's always there for you, calming you. He doesn't give you misery. He saves you from them. He loves you and you love him. Face it dear.

I love him?

No doubting it. Want more proof?

I don't need anymore…you've proven your point. I do get these weird feelings when I'm around him. I do love him. There, I said it! I love him! I love him like the deserts love the rain! I love him like a mother loves her children! I love him like gods love his creations! God damn it, I fucking love him……

There…see? That wasn't so hard was it?

No, thanks.

Kairi smiled to herself, crying of pure happiness. She felt as though a million of her burdens has been lifted. She felt calmer and more relaxed. Her sobbing had stopped, just the tears of joy fell from her eyes. She had finally been set free from total denial.

"I…love him. I love Sora…..I have to tell him," said the girl to herself and quickly got up, running towards the busy road near the park, hoping to have time to reach the boy.

Ata' girl. Go get him.

-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-

Her mind focused on only him. Nothing else mattered. She just wanted to see him so she can just confess it all. She had to do it or else, she would never have peace.

She crossed many roads, passing pass people that walked around. She ran with all the energy she could use, ignoring the coldness that spiked her body. A smile crept upon her glowing face, eager to express her love for him.

She stopped at an empty traffic light, no one was there except for her. No cars or any vehicles at all. She turned left and right, ready to cross when she stopped. Her eyes opened wide, looking to the person on the other side of the road, looking back at her with worried eyes.

She smiled weakly when she saw him, grinning back at her. They slowly placed a foot in front, both moving at the same pace. Soon, she began increasing her speed, he did the same. Both began running towards each other, wanting to feel the other's warmth spreading across them.

They finally made it. She jumped into his arms, as he gracefully caught her, twirling her around. She smiled with happiness, crying a bit. He laughed when she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling their bodies closer, making them one.

He finally landed her on her feet, both remaining in that position. She felt his heart beating fast as she snuggled into him. Sora smiled and kissed the top of her head, holding her firm grip tightly, not wanting to think of losing her.

His breath slowly blew her hair, making her feel safe. She never wanted to let go of him, inhaling his scent. He smelled so sweet, so intoxicating, so pure. How could she not fall in love with him. Their breathing calmed down as they felt warmth spreading into their bodies. Flowing slowly inside of them.

Kairi smiled, leaning herself onto him. Finally, she felt secure for once. Happiness began covering her again. "Sora……,"

"Yeah, Kai?"

His voice was always there. His voice was there to calm her. His voice…was everything to her.

"Sora…you're so warm,"

"Same goes for you,"

She giggled and pulled him closer, never wanting to let go. She pulled away for awhile, looking deeply into those eyes that she fell for. His ocean blue eyes. The same eyes she treasured for over 15 years. He smiled, placing a hand onto her cheek, making it warm.

She smiled back to him, placing an arm behind his neck and the other on his shoulder. They were lost inside each other's eyes, not wanting anyone to ruin such a beautiful moment. Slowly, they began growing closer. Nearing each other, faces so close, their breaths could be felt on each other's skin.

Their lips were inches away, only a few more seconds. Her eyes closed shut, ready to taste him again. It had been quite awhile after their last kiss and she wanted to melt inside him again. This was it. After this kiss, she will confess to him. Nose barely touching. Lips so close….so close….

"LOOK OUT!"

Flash

A light blinded her vision, she couldn't see what was happening. Before she knew it, a force pushed her aside, pushing her behind.

Screech…..slam

Her body slided behind, feeling cold instantley. She fell on her behind, eyes shut close to the pain. After a few seconds, she opened back her eyes, pushing herself up with what energy she had. What was that force that pushed her behind? What happened?

She was surprised to what she saw. Her breathing seemed to stop right there. Her heart begged to stop beating so she could die and awaken from this nightmare. There, on the road, lay Sora, bleeding. He lay lifeless on the ground, the driver of the car which hit him bending down, and calling an ambulance.

But she knew it was too late. Tears began to build up in her eyes again. They fell down. How could this happen? She had just achieved happiness and now, it was gone. He was gone. She felt weak, wanting to just die. Why couldn't it have been her who got hit? Why did Sora have to push her? Why didn't she push him? She'd rather die then see what she was seeing now.

She was breaking down already, her whole body shook hard. Tears were falling non stop, as she shook her head, hoping this was all a bad dream. Please…….please let it be a dream…… Her eyes fell back to his body, laying down there, blood coming out from his nose and mouth. Eyes shut closed.

His arms that once held hers, his lips that were about to kiss her….gone. No, she couldn't accept that. No, not now. Not now Sora. Not now. Please, Sora. Wake up. Wake up and tell me you're alright. Please, Sora….Sora… I love you Sora….I love you…Sora, wake up..Sora…Sora..

Her emotions were in turmoil and she didn't know what to do. She wanted to let it all out. Her sadness, the pain she felt now. The name she wanted to call so dearly. Sora…..

"SORA!"
