Simple and Clean

Maybe some things really are that simple...

It was infuriating, really. What did he have that Sora didn't? Sure, he had better looks, more muscles, better sword skills... That was it! He'd beat him in a sword fight! That would totally impress Kairi, right?

The redhead had been hanging around Riku more often. Normally, he wouldn't mind, but the fact that she wanted to hang with Riku all the time was just irritating! The ten year old just couldn't understand. Was he not fun to hang around?

Pushing up his shirt sleeves, he grabbed his wooden sword and marched towards them. Kairi stared at him curiously, while Riku just looked amused.

"Hey, Sora," he said. "What's up?"

"You. Me. Sword fight. Now."

Riku shrugged. "Okay."

The two had fought before, but this time it was different. This was a fight in front of a girl, because of a girl. And he would win.

Imperfect Love

Their imperfections made them perfect for each other...

Xion sat alone in the cafeteria, mindlessly picking at her food. Ever since... that girl, Roxas hadn't been around her as much. She had to admit, she was a little jealous of her. Getting Roxas all to herself... must be nice. But she was mostly upset that Roxas had ditched her.

"Hey, Xion! What's up?" Speak of the devil...

"What do you want?" she spat, suddenly irritated. "Why aren't you with... her?"

"'Her'? You mean Namine'? We broke up the other day..." He frowned. "Are you mad at me?"

"Yes! Of course I'm mad at you!" she yelled, shooting up from her seat. "You ditch me for her, then come crawling back, expecting me to just take you back and be your best friend again?!" Tears streaked her face.

"But Xion..."

"Just leave me alone!" She ran outside, ignoring others' stares.
