Chapter 2

" Sora! "

Kairi pulled the boy away so she could look at him properly.

" You're here! "

" Congratulations on stating the obvious there, Kairi. "

Sora smirked at her, and with a ' be right back ' he walked off to get some food.

Kairi was left standing in schock, staring after the brunette.

He was just as she remembered, unruley spikes covered his head and his eyes were still the same bright blue. He'd only grown, what, 3 inches? And he still wore the same faded blue jeans and black tank top.

She felt Namine grab her hand. " Come on Kai! " Her sweet voice said, and without waiting for an answer Namine dragged her the last few steps to their table.

Sitting down, Kairi blocked out the noise of her sister chatting happily to Olette. She was thinking. About Sora. The way he'd bounded up to her, but then walked away, it wasn't like him.

But then again what did she know? It had been a long time since she'd seen him, he'd moved away a few years ago.

No-one knew why.

They'd stayed in touch though, and it had been her that suggested he come back to Destiny Island. They had been like siblings, and she missed him.

Except there was something wrong, even in their breif meeting, she could tell.

She frowned as someone slid into the seat beside her. She calmly shut out her troubled thoughts and turned stiffly to face them.

" Sorry about that, " Sora stated, laughing " but i was starving, i barely ate on the ferry! "

No surprises there, thought Kairi, it was well known Sora got seasick easy. Could have been why he was so reluctant to come back to Destiny Islands, but somehow Kairi didn't think so. Mabye she was worrying too much, she could have just been imag-

" OY! Kai! You planning on answering me anytime soon or not? "

Dammit! She'd been so wrapped up in her thoughts she hadn't even noticed he'd said anything.

" Umm.. What was the question again? "

" ..How are you? "

Oh god, he was asking a kind, considerate question and shed missed it, he was only trying to be nice!

" Im fine Sora, you? "

Sora ignored the last part of her answer. " Are you sure? Something seems up.. " He replied softly.

That made her smile slightly. Just as she'd thought something was up with him, he knew something was up with her. Even after all the time they hadn't seen each other.

" Really," she said " im fine! "

Sora smiled at her, he opened his mouth about to talk but..

" Sora! " Oh god, he knew that voice. " I believe you are going to be sharing a dorm room? "
Malificent peered down menacingly at him, he fidgeted slightly, " yes, professor " he replied awkwardly. she glared at him. " You haven't seen him around yet, have you? "

" N..no ma'am. I haven't been back to my room yet"

" Well i suggest that when you do see him you show him around. And be nice, Sora. He is new after all. " And with that Malificent strode from the school caf, leaving a vigourusly nodding Sora in her wake.

Kairi had been sat staring at her food for the whole conversation, now she looked up curiously at Sora, " your staying on campus AND rooming with someone? Sora, your getting some balls! " Sora glared furiously at her, she burst into fits of laughter, remembering a time when sora had been a socially awkward child.

Sora giggled too, he just couldnt help himself.

" So..? " Kairi pressed, " whats he like? "

Sora looked at her and made a noise somewhat similar to a pig, " Kairi, seriously? Did you not just hear me tell Malificent that i haven't even met him yet? Hell, i don't even know what he looks like! "

Kairi frowned. " Well you've got to at least know his name! " she retorted slightly angry at his response.

At this Sora started laughing again, uncontrollable bursts of laughter that poured from his mouth in a never ending steram of delight.

Sora's laughing was so loud that half the caf turned to look at him in curiosity, including the previously forgotten Namine and Olette.

" Hmm, Sora? " Namine asked smirking. " Whats so funny then, care to share? "

Kairi huffed, " I'd like to know aswell! " She exclaimed annoyed.

It was a few minutes before Sora could talk to them. " Sorry, not sure why i find it so funny," he said grinning sheepishly at them. " Well? " Kairi asked.

Sora looked at her, " huh..? " he said, confused. " Your room-mates name? " Kairi promted impaiently Oh! He knew what she meant now. He looked round at Kairi, Namine and Olette, smirking he replied to Kairi's original question.

" His name, " Sora paused dramaticly, " is.. .. .. Roxas! "

nope, not even i know yet why Roxas' name is so funny to sora!
