--------------------------------------------------------------Stalking Hard or Hardly Stalking?

"I love you, Kairi!!!" Sora yelled. Oh, no. That was not what I had in mind at all.

Kairi was just sitting there staring at Sora when she heard a crash from outside her bedroom window.

--------------------------------------------------------A few minutes earlier

All right, now if I could just get this latter straight…there we go. He thought, getting the drinking glass from the inside pocket of his cloak and putting it up against the window. From inside the building he heard "I…I think I might want to leave the island soon."

Oh, no, that's not how the plan went in my head! It was supposed to be I chase Kairi, I tell her I still love her, and we live happily ever after! Her leaving unless I am involved is not in my plan!!!

Then he heard a second voice. Oh, great the competition. I can beat him easy for Kairi's heart. After all, I am much better looking, and smarter, and not to mention I'm about 3 years older.

The final thing he heard was the second voice (Sora, by the way, for you slower people) saying "I love you, Kairi!" and he lost his balance completely, not thinking Sora would beat him to the punch.

"AHHH!!!!!!" screamed Kairi's second lover, falling from the third story window (good thing he was on a latter to break his fall).

--------------------------------------------------------------------Now

Kairi and Sora ran down the steps and out the door, ignoring Mrs. Kitana's questions to see what had caused the crash. There, underneath a latter that looked like it had fallen from it's perch on the third story windowsill was a cloaked, hooded person, and neither Sora nor Kairi could tell if it were a boy or girl, or anything else for that matter, seeing as they ran off before anyone could quite catch a good look at them.

Oh my God!!!! Kairi thought. Could that have been… no…he left 3 years ago…I hope, if that was him, that he didn't hear our conversation. It would've broken his heart.

"Kairi! Hey, Kairi! Back to Earth, please!!!" Sora was yelling at the top of his lungs. He hoped that now Kairi would stay, even if that guy did ruin a semi-perfect moment (if you take out the fact that Kairi was just staring at him, although in her mind, she was thinking all sorts of things, looking for proof, or maybe disproof, of his words).

Who was that? It looked like a guy, and Kairi seemed kind of shocked to see him. I wonder if that's the person Kairi said she caught staring in her window some nights while she was getting dressed. Well, whoever it was, they know who they're stalking, and it must be Kairi.

"Kairi, if I were you, I would be careful and lock, bolt, and tighten all the doors and windows, just to be sure." Sora was saying the words with his eyes closed, so he was unaware that Kairi was standing in front of him, looking like she was going to cry.

"Sora, I'm glad you told me how you felt, but I'm sorry, I just can't stay here!" she sobbed. "And now you know why! If what you said were true, if you really did love me, then you would be happy to see me leave. It's for my own protection." Now it was Sora's turn to start crying. He wasn't happy to se her go, he could never be.

No, I love her too much to give up now…or maybe I'm trying too- His thoughts were interrupted by Riku saying "Hey, Kairi, you rea…dy…oh. Am I interrupting something?"

"No, Riku," Kairi said. "Thanks for coming. Is there anything you want to tell me before you bring me to the docks?"

Sora was immediately stricken with jealousy and Riku looked like he was thinking: How did she know? Which he was.

"I'm asking as a dear friend, and Sora just confessed that he-" she was stopped short by way of Sora clapping his hand over her mouth.

I can't let Riku know! He loves her too, he told me! I never told him I had feelings for her, and if he finds out now, he might never talk to me again! I can't take that chance. Besides Kairi, Riku's the only friend I've ever had on this island.

---------------------------------------------------------------Flashback, 5 years earlier, Sora: age 9, Riku: age 10

"Hey, look, it's porcupine-head!" said a little boy. "Let's see if his hair is actually like a porcupine!"

"Hey, you guys better leave him alone!" shouted Kairi.

"Yea, or I'm going to beat you to a pulp." said Riku in his trademark "I'm calm, cool, collected, and totally in control" voice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------End flashback

I can't lose either of them. Sora decided. If Kairi goes, so do Riku and I. Neither of us can lose her.

"Kairi," Sora whispered in her ear. "Please don't tell Riku what I said. Please."

If only. Kairi thought. If only Riku wasn't with us, I could tell Sora that I love him back. But I can't. It would be too hard. There are too many changes! Sora's confessed and I want to, I've been keeping it secret for too long! No. I'm not giving up what I want to do for a guy, not again. I learned from last time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------Stalker's walk home

Well, good going. You lost her to not one but two weird dudes, and they can't even play guitar! At least I have talent! I'll have to take it slower and resist any "Peeping Tom" that might want to come out and play. Be smooth, Demyx.
