The Great Escape

Sora's POV

The more that I thought of this whole situation, the more I wanted to find out what the heck had happened.

Why had Kairi been so scared?

And why of me?

I was shook out of my reverie by the appearance of Roxas.

"So," I teased," -where's Naminé?"

Roxas flushed a very attractive shade of pink then. "Wha-wh-WHat do you m-mean by that?" he spluttered.

"Nothing" I grinned at him. He was so obvious- and she so oblivious.

He blushed even more.

I did feel a small stab of guilt though; making jokes at his expense- I wasn't any better in the girls department. The girl I liked, I had somehow managed to make run away from me.

Yep- I was a real lady killer.

I stayed silent then, answering in monosyllables when asked questions. The company around me, the noise of the party and music, nor the stunning view of the stars above me, the sea surrounding couldn't distract me from my guilt or my curiosity.

I needed to find out what was wrong, and why Kairi had acted the way she did.

Standing up, I muttered my goodbyes- barely- to the others, ignoring their protests. I stumbled past someone, nearly knocking into them. I looked up, an apology slipping past my lips, when I saw it was Naminé. I felt even worse, when she suddenly put her finger to her lips. She beckoned to me, and I moved closer, and she whispered to me

"She's in the old cove."

I looked at her incredulously, wondering at how she knew about me and Kairi, when she smiled at me-a secret smile.

It was then I realised that Naminé was even nicer than I originally thought- and a little bit scarier than I originally thought.

Kairi's POV

To say I was surprised at Naminés words would be an understatement.

I mean- they really threw me. And they made me realise something.

It wasn't like some sort of crazy fairytale moment where I started sobbing about how she was right, and we became sudden best buddies, bonded by this moment.

It was more like she awkwardly patted me on the shoulder after my stunned silence, and told me that I should think things over, giving me her sweet smile again. I was mute for that moment, unable to vocalise my thanks, so I awkwardly nodded. She smiled again, and then disappeared.

I got up from the log I was perched on, and walked down to near the water. Looking out, I was able to clear my head turning my head from the evidence of the party behind me.

I wanted peace, I wanted clarity, I wanted to put the whole situation behind me once and for all.

I wanted to move on. I wanted to feel safe- no, I needed to feel safe.

I had been tossed about on the waves of life for the past year or so- was it too much to ask for a safe harbor?

I stared out, looking at the cobalt sky, streaked with the remains of the sunset, the sky streaked with purple and pink clouds, dusted with shining stars.

Why was it when I really wanted to run from things, I was completely focused, yet when I really wanted to stay, I could never do what I intended? I always got distracted, I always messed things up, and then I ran.

But now, it seemed all those things I had run from, was running from had caught up.

I didn't want to face them, but I couldn't run this time- I couldn't do that to my parents. Not again.

There was no more escaping from it. I would have to screw my courage to the sticking post.

And it was when I was summoning my courage that he appeared.

"Kairi" he said, looking steadfastly into my eyes.

"Sora."

I won't wait until the beginning of the end.
I believe that if we are together there's nothing to worry about
I'll affirm any possible contradictions
in advance, before [it's] too late
As we make our great escape now.
