I Must Be Dreaming
Chapter 3 Heart
A few weeks passed after Kairi's appearance. The Kigoru Family eventually got used to her living with them, Kairi got her room all done, and Sora, well, he hasn't really changed. Let's look into that, shall we?Kairi opened her eyes and yawned. She stretched as she hopped out of bed. She made her way to the bathroom and did her business. When she was done, she ran downstairs for breakfast. There, she found Sora silently eating a bowl of cereal.
"Good morning Sora-kun!" Kairi called. Sora looked up from his cereal, gave a faint smile, and went back to eating. "O-kay!" Kairi replied. She grabbed a bowl from the cupboard and a spoon from the drawer. She sat next to Sora and poured herself some cereal. She and Sora ate silently for a moment. She had to break the silence. "So, where's your family?" Kairi asked as she gulped down the cereal.
"My mom and brother went to the grocery store. My dad went to work to fix a deal with his commander." Sora blankly answered. Kairi nodded and went back to eating.
Something's wrong. Sora isn't himself. I wonder what happened. Kairi thought as she finished eating. Sora took their bowls and put them in the sink. He ran the water as he put the food away. He turned the water off and ran up stairs. "Where are you going?" Kairi called out. Sora just kept on running. He ran into his room and shut his sliding door. Kairi ran after him up the stairs. She quickly opened the door. Sora wasn't there. She ran out to his balcony and looked around. She climbed the ladder to the roof and looked there. No Sora. She scratched her head and went back inside. Sora looked up from the side of the house. He was hanging on a nearby tree. He jumped off and landed on the roof. He sat there and watched the view. "AH HA!" Kairi yelled out of nowhere. Sora jumped and turned. "That was a fun game!" Kairi replied as she sat down next to Sora. Sora blinked and looked out to his previous view. "What's wrong?" Kairi asked. She was getting tired of playing games.
"What do you mean?" Sora replied blankly.
"Forget it." Kairi replied. Sora pulled out a guitar and started tuning it. Kairi noticed it and grinned. "How about a song? Know any good ones?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, sing it." Sora replied. He placed his fingers in their places and began to play. Kairi knew what it was at the moment he started.
I've
had a bad day
And nothing ever seems to go my way
I've got a
heartache
Don't wanna think about it
And everytime I try to
smile, I cry, so
I'll just hide my face
Get out of my way
Don't
wanna talk about it
And I'll be fine
I just need some
time
I'm hanging on today
And nothing's gonna stop me,
anyway
I'm holding on, I'm strong
I'm the only one who can make
it change
I don't wanna cry
Gotta live my life
I'm gonna
make it alright
I'm hanging on and nothing's gonna stop me,
anyway
I went the wrong way
But I'm not lost, it's a good
mistake
I saw the day break
I'm gonna shout about it
Oh,
and everytime I turn around
I find that, I'm alone again
I've
had a bad day
I'm gonna laugh about it
And I'll be fine
I'm
gonna be alright
I'm hanging on today
And nothing's gonna
stop me, anyway
I'm holding on, I'm strong
I'm the only one who
can make it change
I don't wanna cry
Gotta live my life
I'm
gonna make it alright
I'm hanging on and nothing's gonna stop me,
Nothing's gonna stop me
When I feel lonely
I feel like
I'm floating
Nothing is real
I'm above it all
I'm above
it
I'm above it all
I'm hanging on today
And
nothing's gonna stop me, anyway
I'm holding on, I'm strong
I'm
the only one who can make it change
I don't wanna cry
Gotta
live my life
I'm gonna make it alright
I'm hanging on and
nothing's gonna stop me, anyway
I've had a bad day
"That was a good one." Sora replied. Kairi looked at him and smiled.
"Yeah, it was." Kairi replied. They sat silently for a moment.
"You read my journal, right?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, I read every entry." Kairi answered. "And, I do. I do like you too." She added. Sora gave a faint smile. "So, does this mean that we're boyfriend and girlfriend?" Kairi asked. Sora shook his head.
"If you're ready." Sora answered. Kairi shook her head back. "Then we aren't. We're just two friends with a strong friendship." Sora replied. He jumped down from the roof and entered the house. Kairi sat there sadly.
What have I done? At least Sora will recover. But, what if he finds out? She thought. She climbed down and walked to her room. She sat there crying.
Later
Sora's family returned and they cooked lunch, egg rolls with rice. They ate and went on with their business. Sora and Kairi walked back upstairs to their rooms. Kairi sat in her room, still upset about what they did.
"Hey!" Sora said when he poked is head in her room. Kairi jumped and switched her expression. "We should get on MSN. Riku's probably gone nuts by now." Sora replied. Kairi nodded her head as Sora left the room. Kairi pulled out her laptop and turned it on. "Oh! One more thing." Sora replied, back in her room. He took the laptop from her and typed something on the keyboard.
"What did you do?" Kairi asked. Sora stood up and smiled.
"My dad got us wireless internet. I just set it up on your computer." He answered. Kairi nodded and turned to her computer. She signed on her MSN and waited. Luckilly, Riku was on.
Khknight: Can you find out what Kairi did?
Sora: Ooh! ooh! She stole pizza from the kitchen!
Khknight: ...no.
