Hey guys! A new chapter as promised! If more of you guys could answer the poll on my proflie that'd be awesome. At the moment everything is tied, which really dosn't help the situation. Also; if you could also check out and reveiw my story 'The boy who never grew' that'd be nice too. I really like the story and It'll seem like everything happened way to fast, but trust me...I've got it all planned out. Thanks!

Quick shout-out to: ParadiseAvenger (Thanks for reviewing!)

Kairi brings it up

Sora woke up to the sun's rays in his eyes. He lifted his hand to shield the light, never realizing that his cell had a small window near the ceiling. Sora groaned and let his hand drop back down. Instead of it landing on the bed though, it landed on something else. Sora looked down to see Kairi nuzzled against his chest. A small smile was formed on his face. Why did she trust him so easily? The first day they met, it only took them a few seconds to act the way they do now. Why was that? Sora stared at the sleeping Kairi.

"Dude…she's out like a light! Ha-ha!" Said Roxas. He was starting to warm up to her.

"Yeah. Makes me wonder if she got any sleep last night…" Sora wondered.

"Hey, do you know how she got that bite mark yet?"

"No. When I asked her she just mumbled 'I'm sorry' and walked away…"

"Then you beat the crap out of that guy Riku who tried to get all nice with her! That was GREAT by the way. Who knew you were the jealous type…"

"I'm not! And that wasn't out of jealousy! It was protection! Do you even know what he was trying to do?"

"Yeah I do. Look Sora I was just joking around, relax."

Sora didn't say anything else. Roxas kind of went a little too far with that one. Sora couldn't even imagine how frightened Kairi was. Especially when she saw him…Sora shook his head trying to forget what he almost did. He would never forgive himself if he gave in to it…even in front of Kairi. Sora looked back at Kairi, and started to stroke her hair. It was so soft. Sora could smell her hair from a distance. It smelled like paopu fruit and strawberries. The perfect combination. Kairi started to stir so Sora took his hand away from her head and acted like he just woke up.

Kairi opened her eyes and yawned.

"Hey Kairi, do you know what time it is?"

"Huh? Oh, um…let me go check." Kairi got up and stretched, then walked over to the door and tried to open it. She heard Sora laugh so she turned around to look at what was so funny.

"You looked the door, remember?" Sora started to laugh. Kairi was surprised…this was the first time she's ever heard him laugh. Kairi smiled and unlocked the door.

"Don't move." Sora raised his hands in defense.

"No Promises."

Kairi walked throughout the lobby. She could feel people staring at her. She didn't care. She walked up to the front desk startling all the Nurses.

Selphie ran out of the office. "Kairi!" She ran up to Kairi and hugged her.

"Selphie, you act like I just been through hell. You know, either than from this morning…"

"Kairi, what were you thinking! Locking yourself up with a patient!"

"I didn't lock myself up with just any patient Selphie. I locked myself up with-"

"Vanitas?"

"Sora." Kairi snapped. "Anyways, what time is it?"

"12:30. Why are you so tired?"

"I slept with Sora." The Nurses looked at her shocked. "Not like that perverts…"

"Kairi, you guys barley even know each other. Yet you guys act like you've known each other for ages."

"I know, it's just…when I'm around him it feels right, and I feel safe." The Nurses were confused. "I feel like I did when I was around my mother…"

"Same here…" Kairi and Selphie whipped around to see Sora. "Although, I feel like, when I'm around you I'm…different."

"Different?"

"Yeah. I feel happy…"

"I thought I told you to stay put?"

"I'm not letting you out of my sight after what happened today."

"Sora, I'm fine." Kairi stepped towards the counter. Sora took a step towards Kairi. Kairi looked at him and took another step, which Sora soon followed until he was right next to her.

"What are you doing?"

"Not letting you out of my sight."

"Go back to your room Sora."

"Kairi…" Sora whined. Kairi poked him in the chest and pushed him in the direction of his cell.

"Go! You're not even supposed to be out right now! Remember, you're still on probation for what you did."

"Kairi! I don't want to go!"

"Sora, stop whining!" Sora gave Kairi a look which she knew right away. It was the 'I don't want to be alone' look. However in Sora's case it was the 'I don't want to be bored all today with nothing to do' look. Kairi sighed and gave in.

"Go! I'll be right there!" Kairi giggled. The Nurses stared at the two suspiciously.

"No!"

"Sora!" Kairi spun Sora around and put her hands on his back and started to push him away.

"Go! Or I will never speak to you again!" Sora looked at Kairi with a sad look and stuck his tongue out. He then walked away. Kairi then turned towards Selphie the Nurses to find them staring at her.

"You're so childish!" Kairi screamed at him as he walked back to his cell. Kairi then turned her attention back to the nurses to find them all staring at her.

"What?" They shook their heads and returned to their work. "Hey Selphie, can I see Sora's file?"

"Sure." Selphie walked into the office and came back out with a file. Kairi took it and opened it up.

"Why do you want to see his file?"

"I want to know the reason of why he got forcefully put into the Asylum. He seems normal enough to be sane."

"Yeah, except with the attitude of a six year old…" Kairi looked at Selphie and they both couldn't help but giggle.

"He is kind of weird isn't he?"

"The insane ones always are." Kairi looked at Selphie confused.

"What?"

"That's what my grand-father always used to say. 'The sane are always the most insane'." Kairi was puzzled by this, but continued on with her search.

"Okay. Sora Osment. (A/N – I didn't know what Sora's last name was so I just used his actor's last name) Aries. Age 16, blah blah blah….Oh! Here it is. Sora was escorted into the Destiny Islands Asylum for believing that the…Darkness was out to get him?"

Kairi handed the file back to Selphie and headed back to Sora's cell. When she got there she saw Sora lying on the tile floor on his back humming.

"That bored?" Kairi giggled. Sora shot up and gave Kairi a glare. "Oh, sorry. Did I interrupt your magical humming?" Kairi said sarcastically.

"Shut up, Kairi!" Sora smiled showing that his comment was just a joke. Sora then sat against the side of the bed on the floor. Kairi walked over and sat on her knees in front of him.

"Sora?"

"Hm?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot." Sora smiled. Kairi felt worse. Should she really bring it up?

"What did you mean by…the Darkness is out to get you?" Sora's smile faded away into a frown. His eyes lit up with fear. Kairi saw this and started to panic. She opened her mouth but no words could come out. She was completely speechless. Sora looked away and sighed.

"I'm afraid to tell you…"

"You can tell me." Sora looked back at Kairi and relaxed.

"Well, I don't know when it all started…but it could have started when I became, uh, different."

"Different?"

"Yeah, like un-happy. It was when I was little. My brother and I used to hang out all the time. Usually siblings would fight each-other and would want nothing more but then to have nothing to do with their brother and/or sister. But not us. We loved being together. We would always play games like, hide-and-seek or tag…or just fight with our toy swords. We were always together, and if one of us wanted to do something but the other one didn't…we would work it out."

"Wow. You guys must of been great to your Mom…"

"Used to…we used to be great to our Mom."

"Used to?"

"Something happened. We were playing in one of the fields out back, near the mountains. I told him it was getting late and we should head home, but he wouldn't listen. If only he would have listened. We went further into the woods until we became lost. Then these men found us. Just the way they looked at us, we knew that they knew we were far away from home. Although, they weren't the friendly kind of hikers…"

Kairi saw Sora's eyes start to swell up. Kairi moved closer to Sora.

"They started to mess with us. Ask us if we were lost when we all knew that we were. I can still remember their faces. I can still remember my brother…We ran away from them as fast as we could…but it didn't work. It didn't work."

Sora started to sob and brought his knees up to his chest and buried his face in his hands. Kairi moved next to Sora and stroked his arm.

"Tell me Sora…what happened to him?" Sora lifted his head and held it up with one hand while his elbow rested on his knee.

"They caught up to us. They just wanted to scare us…all except one. That one…wanted so more from us. He started to hit us. His friends tried to stop him but nothing worked. He just kept on hurting us. I didn't fight back, I knew what would happen if I did. My brother…he was so protective of me. He fought back for me, not even caring what happened to him. The man grabbed him and started to punch him harder and harder. I screamed for him to stop, but I couldn't move. He stopped punching him when he realized that he had stopped fighting back. He didn't give up though…he never did."

"So, your brother won?"

Sora shook his head. "He died. He was beating to death. He died trying to protect me. The man got away. I never forgot his face. Ever since then I could hear noises…everywhere. I could see shadows almost everywhere I looked. It was in all of my dreams; it was near me even when I was awake."

"The Darkness?"

"Yes. I was weak so it chooses me for a victim. It wanted to take over my body somehow to become whole. I gave into it once. I remember it. I wasn't the same after that. I was meaner and just a horrible person. Until he pulled me out of it."

"Who?"

"My brother. He never left. He was with me all along, inside of me. In my heart. I can still hear his voice today. He helped me get rid of the Darkness and see the Light. I was free. He's still with me right now, protecting me. Making sure I don't end up like he did. He warned me about getting to close to you, but he realized how kind you were, and now doesn't care."

"I'm glad. I would never hurt you." Sora smiled which Kairi returned. "What was his name?"

"Whose?"

"Both. Your brother's and his murderer's."

"My brother's name was Roxas. As for my murderer's name…I don't know."

"I'm so sorry…"

"It's okay…" Kairi pulled Sora into a hug. She could hear his silent cries. He must miss seeing his brother a lot.
