Walking this road without you….

"Sora…" Namine called to the brunette boy softly, her voice was sincere but sad.

His head hung down low to avoid her gaze. "I knew that it might end up this way…" as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and sighed. "I can't do anything."

"Now that's not true." the blond interrupted with a serious glance upon her face. "I might have met Kairi just this summer, but you've been friends with her since childhood, she will never be mad at you, but she will…"

A hand was raised to stop Namine from continuing on. His face was serious also but also full of hurt as he shook his head. "Just stop talking. Besides, the train is going to leave soon and I'm sure Roxas would be worried about us if we don't arrive."

She wanted to protest some more about the situation, but she had a feeling that no matter what, Sora wasn't in the mood to hear it. When she was sure he wasn't around to hear her, she looked at the clouds, "Kairi, you are going to do something…aren't you?"

To Remake Forgotten Promises and meet you at roads' end…

…………………

Faded Memories…

The redhead sighed every once in a while as she turned each page slowly. She was looking through the old photos she'd been keeping since she was younger. Most of them were with her and Sora of course. The good, the bad, the awkward, the funny.

Reconstructed Memories…

Then came Namine, and later…Roxas. For such an odd reason, a smile appeared on her face. Admitting to herself, she really found this summer a lot more fun than the years before it. Plus, she began talking and meeting new friends along the way.

A Dream…A Dream of You…In a World without You…

Shutting the book silently, and for once in a long time, she finally took the urge to climb out of her bed. She had a plan. And this plan was bound to work. "I'm not giving up." she declared.

A Scattered Dream that's like a Far-Off Memory…

A Far-Off Memory that's like a Scattered Dream…

The two teens sat down all tense. Their friend Sora who was sitting right across from them was being too quiet. It was like the hyper active personality was sucked out of him. Replacing him with an…actually they really didn't have a name for it. They just knew that he was upset and was doing a good job of worrying them.

Roxas, who was noticing Namine's tensed up act, slowly took his hand to grab her own, in a sign that meant to calm down. She slightly jumped at the surprised action from him but relaxed, as she gave him a small smile.

"Thanks.." she managed to say towards him.

He chuckled at her nervous act now. "At least you aren't stuttering around me."

Giving him a confused look, she wondered aloud. "When do I ever stutter?"

He leaned back, closing his eyes as if he was going to rest and laughed. "Oh wouldn't you like to know?"

She stared at him, as she saw him open his eyes. "Yes I would like to know."

"Well, there were a couple of times before we actually got to know each other." he pointed out.

She swatted his hand away. "That doesn't count, I get nervous around people I don't know."

"How about when you hung around me?"

"That doesn't count either, I usually act like that when I'm trying to get to know someone."

"But you've known me since we were kids."

"So? Maybe I was worried that you changed." she shot back another cover up for her answer, and folded her arms. "Forget it, you don't know any."

He leaned closer to her. "What if we ended like this?" as their faces were mere inches apart from each other. "Doesn't this work?" he guessed.

She was speechless and looked away. "W-Wha?"

He smiled. "See? You. Stuttered." he stated as he saw her face flush with red.

Before anything else could spark between them any more, they heard an cough interrupt their moment.

"Ahem." Sora coughed to grab their attention. I don't know if you guys have noticed but, we're here in Twilight Town, as he pointed to the station sign. Gathering his belongings, he got up and smirked at the two teens who laughed back and followed after him.

………

"Welcome to Twilight Academy!" a girl happily greeted the three as they entered the office. "My name is Yuffie, I'm your school rep, so feel free to come to me when you need help!" she turned to another girl who was a little older than her. "Aerith-chan! Do you have their room numbers?"

"A-Ah y-yes Yuffie-chan!" the dressed up pink high school student quickly answered handing her the three schedules for the students. She smiled warmly at the three. "Hello, I'm Aerith, I usually help around the campus when Yuffie isn't around."

"Hi, I'm Namine." the blond girl greeted back. In fact, that was her first attempt to introduce herself without anyone having to do it for her.

"I'm Roxas." the boy beside her grinned and pointed at Sora. "And this is our friend Sora."

Sora nodded to acknowledge them, but was still in a quiet mood.

"Ah! Sora is a little tired." the two announced in unison to avoid any bad first impressions.

"Of course!" the dark haired ninja agreed. "Feel free to go to your rooms! Have a nice school year!" she waved as the teens walked out of the office and searched for their room numbers.

"Hey, it seems like you and I are roommates Roxas." Sora managed to speak out as they all read their schedules.

Roxas nodded and turned to Namine. "Your room number is only two rooms away from us. We're not that far away." he grinned.

"I hope my roommate isn't strict or mean." she timidly muttered. She would be happy to be at this school of her choice and try to make new friends, but she would rather be roommates with Kairi. Kairi was the only one who understood her, or even Olette would be fine since she was coming here anyways.

---------

She stood in front of the door.

"The door isn't going to open by itself Namine." Sora joked as he made the attempt to open the door first, to reveal…

"K-Kairi." he said in shock and rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

The redhead didn't say anything, but smiled walking towards them. "Hi you guys."

"K-Kairi…you…D-Destiny Islands…h-here…in school." Sora tried to ask but all these thoughts were confusing him. "You're here…"

"Of course I would." she answered simply. Turning to Namine, she grinned. "I wasn't going to give up." as she gave her a thumbs up.

"Kairi…" she grinned back, glad that she was right about her friend.

"Besides, I was planning to come here for high school." she added. "S'ok with you guys right?"

Roxas smiled which seemed to spread to the others. "Let's make this a good school year then." as he put his hand in the middle, then Namine followed, and Kairi.

Sora gave them a blank look seeing the three and their hands in the middle, he finally put his hand in the middle, and grinned. "Yeah, let's make best of it." he finally looked at Kairi. "I'm glad you're here Kairi."

Tears were starting to fall down, but she ignored them and hugged the brunette teen. "I am too…"

The two embraced each other, leaving Namine and Roxas do nothing but hold hands and smile at their happy ending.

I want to line the Pieces Up.

Yours and Mine.

Is it really the end? Yep, for this story. The sequel to this story will be called. "I'll Be With You No Matter What." except this story will be mainly based on Sora and Kairi instead of Namine and Roxas like this one. Whatever awaits the four for the school year I'm sure they can handle…right?
