I have awoken from my eternal slumber so that I can upload one chapter and then go back on hiatus because guess what!?

If you guessed "Oh, no, she's going back to Invincible again, isn't she?" Then yeah, you're right!

And I'm started the torture from the beginning :)

Anyways, here's a request that came with a prompt, instead of making have to wait until I got home because I can't go on tumblr to find prompts when I'm at school, so thank you.

This is dedicated to DestinyU (Also this doesn't really work with the cheering him up part of your prompt, so sorry, but if you want me to change anything, feel free to ask!)

Kingdom Hearts belongs to Tetsuya Nomura :)


"Kairi! Kairi where are you?"

The young girl chuckled, hiding amongst the poppies of Radiant Gardens. She'd learnt long ago that if she managed to make only her hair visible amongst the red flowers, then no one would look twice to find her in the sea of red.

"Kairi, I'm being serious. We need to go in for dinner"

Kairi giggled again, when was her friend not being serious?

The silver haired young boy heaved a deep sigh, "Kaaiiiiirrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"

"I'm over here~!" Kairi shouted. She knew that no matter how much noise she would make, it would always take her friend a long while to find her (He was too short to see over the bushes that lined to poppy garden, and he simply refused to walk through the leaves).

"Kairi, get out of there, please." Oh, no. Ooooh, no. The boy was pulling his puppy-dog face.

The one that Kairi absolutely could not look away from.

Oh, no.

"Fine, okay." Kairi let out a louder giggle as she jumped out of her bushes, straight in front of her friend.

"Geeze, Ienzo, you didn't even try to look for me."

And that was when the boy named Ienzo smiled, shot his hand out (Fast as lightning!) and tagged the redhead in front of him.

"I tricked you, Kairi! It was all just an illusion! Hahaha!" Kairi gasped, her mouth making a perfect O, and then started running after the boy in front of her.

"IENZO! GET BACK HERE YA LITTLE CHEAT!"


Kairi's eyes drifted open, then forced themselves shut again. She rose, slowly, out of bed and walked out of her room, stumbling blindly towards the kitchen.

Kitchens mean food and where there's food, there's happiness.

"Kairi, honey, it's 8 O'Clock."

"Yeah, mum."

"Kairi, school starts in ten minutes."

"Uh huh."

"Don't go forgetting Sora's assignment, honey."

That woke Kairi up. The girl tore off down the street, still packing her school bag, with no thoughts about her clothing or hair. It wasn't until she was near the school that Kairi started to pat down her bedhead and straighten her tie. Sora was waiting in front of the school, with a look on his face that probably reflected Kairi's. It was obvious he hadn't slept, either."

"Kairitheassignmentandyouweren'tcomingsoRikuhelped mebutIdon'tthinkheactuallyhelpedme,hejustmadeitreallylongHELP!"

"What."

Sora took a deep breath, "Riku helped me with my assignment instead, but he wasn't even slightly helpful. I think he made it worse to teach me a lesson."

Kairi sighed, then rolled her eyes, "Well I think you kind of should've asked for help before the night before, Sora. It would've been smaaaaaaaa- whoisthat?"

Sora blinked at Kairi, then turned to follow her gaze. Ahead of them sat a young, silver-haired boy with stunning blue eyes. He looked like he could easily pass as her friend Riku's stoic, attractive younger brother.

"He's a new kid... I think his name is... Zeppolin? No, no, that's not it... Zacharie?"

The two friends caught each other's eyes and burst out laughing.

"Oh yeah, he's going to meet his friend, Batter."

Another fit of laughter.

"Um, hello... I hope you don't mind my interrupting, but you look awfully familiar."

Kairi choked on her laughter and coughed like there's no tomorrow.

The boy was standing above the two friends, a small, shy smile lighting his face.

"Ah, yeah, hi there! We were just talking about yo-!"

Kairi stopped herself, realising that if he approached her when she was supposedly talking about him and laughing, then he won't be too impressed.

"Um, I mean, we were laughing at Sora, but talking about you in general... b-because I've never actually seen you around before?"

Sora let out a soft chuckle of laughter before walking off, shaking his head, "See you in class, Miss Smoothy McSmooth" he said, heading into the building.

Kairi stared after Sora, feeling a bright red blush light her face.

"Ex-excuse my friend, he's-"

Kairi heared the bell ring for class and headed inside almost immediately, not wanting to catch the eye of the stranger.

Because good lord were his eyes blue.

And smart. She could tell he was smart.

"I'm Ienzo, by the way."

He was standing well behind the redhead at this point, but she still heard him. She heard that soft voice that she'd forgotten about up until that day.

"Ienzo?" She tried the name out, like she was readjusting herself to say it.

"Yeah, that's me... and... I may be wrong, though I rarely am, but... are you... Kairi?"

There was a long silence that seemed to stretch for ages between the two teens, before Kairi smiled.

"Yeah, that's me... I remember you. Wow, you've... uh... grown!"

And Ienzo smiled so wide, and he just ran straight past Kairi and all she could think of was the little boy she'd chased after with just a hint of pride in her heart.

Because she taught him how to cheat in tag.

"Ienzo!" Kairi shouted, watching the boy run to class without her, "Get back here ya little cheat!"

And she ran after him for the first time in almost ten years.

And she thinks, just for a second, 'I think I'm in love'.


I've been reading the Chaos Walking series and I think I can see the writing style rubbing off on me (Whoops)

It's a good read, 10/10 would recommend.

Anyways, thanks for reading, feel free to review and request!
