(Author's Note:The title translates into "There's someone else I love'.)
"See you later,"murmured Riku, pecking a sleeping Kairi on the lips before climbing out her window. There was a lot onhis mind lately.
First, of course, was what had occured between him and Kairi last night. Needless to say, he hadn't planned on that happening. Second was his own feelings. He'd ben truly honest when he told Kairi he loved her. But she wasn't the only one. Sora, too, even thought he wouldn't dare tell him. He'd told Selphie, who'd said he should tell him. To that, he'd just scoffed and said,
"Kata-omoi nanda."
Riku sighed as he finally made his way into his bedroom. Little Ren, his six-year-old sister, was sound asleep in her bed. Smiling, he leaned over and shook her shoulder. She blinked ice blue eyes open to gaze up at him.
"Ohayoo, oniichan!"she giggled.
"Ohayoo,"smiled Riku, ruffling her silver hair. "Time to get up, Ren-chan"
Ren was a true mimicry of her big brother. Trying to match his outfit tothe best of her ability, she wore a denim mini skirt, white sandals, and a yellow tanktop.
"Are we gonna play with Sora-kun and Kairi-chan today?"asked Ren as she followed Riku downstairs.
"Yep,"He smiled. "Wakka-san, Tidus-kun, and Selphie-chan, too."
"Sorry we're late!"called Riku, catching up with his friends onPaopu Island. "Ren took forever eating."
"Guess what?!"exclaimed Selphie. "Kairi's decided she wants to learn how to fight, too!"
Kairi's cheeks turned a bit red, adn she held out two miniature wooden knives. "Um.. I made these yesterday afternoon. I wanna fight like that one girl Rikku (Final Fantasy X-2) who used to live here."
"Riku,"murmured Kairi, turning to her boyfriend after the others had left. "I love you, you know I do."
"And I love you,"murmured Riku. There were several moments of silence, then they unisoned,
"Gomen nasai, honta wa aishite Sora!"
They were both silent as they look at eachother. Eventuall, a grin cross Riku's face. "Yo, too, huh?"
Kairi smiled and nodded. "Yeah."
"Erm...Not to eavesdrop,"the two turned to see Sora standing behind them. "But I forgot my sword."
"How long have you been standing there?!"panicked Kairi.
"Since you told Riku you loved him,"
"So then...you heard?"said Riku quietly.
Sora nodded, then picked up his sowrd. "I'll...uh...just leave now."
The two stared after him until he got into his house.
"Well,"sighed Kairi. "This'll complicate things."
"Yeah,"agreed Riku. "Listen. I can't come over tonight. My parents are taking me and Ren to visit our grandmother on the main island."
"Okay,"said Kairi quietly. "See you tomorrow."
Well, whaddaya think? Lesse, Kairi loved Riku, but she also loves Sora. Riku loves Kairi, but he also loves Sora, too. The only question his...who does Sora love?
Ren:Cliffhanger! Yay!
Chris:I hate kids... (J/K)
-My love is unrequited with him
-Good morning, big brother
-I'm sorry, but to tell the truth, I love Sora!
