Author's Note: As I have said before, please do not blame Sora. He believes that Kairi will take it better than Namine.

Chapter 6: Broken
Kairi walked slowly to Sora's house. She couldn't wait. She just had one question that wasn't answered. Was he her boyfriend now, or not?
"Sora!" She called as she knocked on the door.
"Hey, Kairi. Can you come in here for a second?" Sora asked. Kairi walked in.
Alright, Sora. Now's the time. You have to tell her this.
"Kairi, I can't be your boyfriend." Sora said. Kairi looked stunned.
"But... You... I thought... I hate you, Sora!" Kairi cried. Tears streamed out of her eyes.
"I was right all along! Love will always hurt you in the end! You... I thought you actually cared! I will never, ever, believe in love!" Kairi said, running out the door and away.
Great. Now... What was I thinking? Namine's going to get her heart broken, Roxas is going to ask Kairi out and be rejected, and Kairi... Kairi's broken forever! I'm a moron... Sora thought.
Roxas heard his door slam and knew that something was wrong. He walked out of his room to find his brother with his head on the table. He looked like a wreck.
"What's wrong?" Roxas asked.
"...I broke Kairi's heart. She'll never believe in love again." Sora said.
"Wait, Kairi believed in love?" Roxas asked, stunned.
"Yes. But then I broke her heart and she hates me." Sora said.
"Dude, seriously?" Roxas said.
"I wasn't trying to do this. I thought that I could teach Kairi to believe in love, then I could tell you, and you could date Kairi so you wouldn't hurt Namine. Now everyone loses." Sora sighed.
"Dude, I hate to tell you this, but I'm in love with Namine. I wasn't going to go after Kairi anymore." Roxas said.
"Great. Then Kairi loses. And I lose." Sora said bitterly.
"How do you lose?" Roxas asked.
"I lose because I think I'm in love with Kairi." Sora sighed.
"Sora, I think you should stay home today." Roxas said.
"Why?" Sora asked, confused.
"Because... you know that prank kick that Selphie was on? It wasn't really a prank kick. We were all kidnapped and told that you were dead. Tifa told Aqua and I some things. She said that I had to be her boyfriend, and that Aqua had to be a popular girl at school and be friends with her and Selphie. She said that you were supposed to be in my place, but since you were dead, it wouldn't work. Then she said that she'd kill Namine and Yuffie if we didn't agree, or if we told anyone." Roxas said.
Sora was truly stunned. How could this have happened?
"So you can't come to school."
"...I will come to school." Sora said.
"What!? But you can't!"
"Yes, I can. I'm going to school, and you can't stop me."
Kairi ran home. The crew would never be her friends again. They were all jerks.
She opened up the door and ran upstairs. She sat down on her bed and cried.
"Kairi, are you okay?" Kairi lifted her head.
"No. Sora broke my heart."
"Oh, honey." Kairi's mom said. She walked up and hugged her daughter.
"Mom, I need to get ready for school..." Kairi sniffed.
"Alright. Do you need anything before I leave for work?" Aerith asked.
"No." Kairi said.
"Okay. Well, I'll be going then." Aerith said, walking off before leaving for work.
That stupid Sora! First I tell him that I love him, then we kiss, then he tells me that he can't be my boyfriend. Well, he can just drop dead! Kairi thought bitterly. Anger was just her way of trying to hide her sadness, but after thinking that, she burst into tears.
"Why... why did this have to happen to me?" She whispered.
Sora, Roxas, Aqua, Namine, and Yuffie walked to school talking. Roxas and Sora, however, were silent.
"What's up with you two? Silence is not your thing." Yuffie remarked.
"Uh, we're just dealing with... personal stuff." Roxas replied. Yuffie, Aqua, and Namine looked doubtful, but didn't question it.
Man, I'm a moron. I hurt Kairi so bad... I figured that she'd take it better though, since we just started being... well, in a relationship. Sora thought.
"Where's Kairi?" Namine asked, confused when she didn't see the redhead near the school doors.
"I have no idea." Yuffie said.
"She's usually here... she has such a good immune system, so I don't think she's sick..." Aqua said, half to herself.
"HOLY COW!" Yuffie screamed. Everyone looked where she was pointing. Kairi stood there, next to Selphie and Tifa. But... she looked way different.
Kairi no longer had on her usual glasses, showing off her beautiful blue eyes. She wore a pink strapless mini-dress made up of three zippers (two seemed to be for decoration) as well as a white halter top underneath her mini-dress with a black hood. She also wore three bracelets on her left wrist, a black belt reminiscent of suspenders with a note book shaped bag attachment, and lilac sneakers.
"K-Kairi, what's up with the new outfit?" Namine asked.
"Do I know you?" Kairi asked, coldly. Namine, Aqua, Roxas, Sora, and Yuffie's jaws dropped.
Sora expected Kairi to be broken. Kairi was far from broken.
