Their Eyes that Couldn't See

II. Distraught and Disapointment

The room is dead silent after Kairi had breathed out that name – Sora's name. No one moved. Kairi and the new kid stared at each other. The eerie atmosphere was only changed when Kairi jumped at the transferee and hugged him tightly, tears spilling from her eyes.

"Sora, you're back! Oh I knew you'll come back. I always knew it. I'm so glad you're here," Kairi sobbed at the boy's ear. She's smiling though fat tears were running down her cheeks. Still, no one from her classmates spoke.

Professor Xemnas cleared his throat. But it wasn't he who spoke.

"I'm sorry, miss, but I guess you mistook me from someone else. I am not who you think I am," the new kid said in his cool voice but he didn't do anything to push Kairi away from him.

Kairi untangled herself from him. She gave him a puzzled look before saying, "What do you mean, Sora? I don't get it?"

"Roxas Oblivion is not Sora Hearts, Miss Charms! Please sit down, both of you, I'm about to start the class now," Professor Xemnas cuts sharply when the silence took too long to bear.

Kairi gave a what-the-hell look towards their professor and then to her classmates before staring back at Roxas who was giving her an innocent look.

That's impossible! How can two people look very much alike!? It's near to impossible if they aren't twins or relatives at the least. They seem to have exactly the same face! This is absurd!

"Oblivion is not, in any way that I could research, connected to Hearts. Now will the two of you please sit down?" Professor Xemnas was trying his best to sound calm though a small silent growl escaped his throat.

Did he just read my mind? Kairi thought, abashed. But she did not protested anymore and just sat on her seat with a last glance at the direction of Roxas. She could confirm she saw a smile on his face.

Whatever they say, I'll find my way to prove this guy is Sora and not just someone who looks a lot like him. I know he's hiding something. I just know it in my gut.

Kairi couldn't focus with the lessons the whole morning. Her mind kept on flying elsewhere.

She sometimes gives quick glances towards her seatmate who sometimes catches her in the act which made her look swiftly someplace else, usually towards the sky. To be honest, nothing that was discussed by their professors came to her head. All that was in her head was how to figure out the connection between Sora and Roxas.

The bell rang again. It's their lunch time already. Riku, Olette and Selphie looked at her at the same time but she didn't give them any chance to even call out her name. She quickly stood up from her seat and strode towards the door. She gave Roxas a quick look, which he returned with a blank gaze, before leaving the room.

Kairi rushed for the rooftop, her head bent down the whole time. There were murmurs all around her. Though, her mind was so clouded that she didn't understand a single one. She just took one quick step after the other so that she could reach her destination quickly.

Before she could take a step towards the 5th floor stairs, a hand gripped her elbow. When she raised her head to see who it was; she met a pair of eyes that looked exactly as hers. Her sister, Aqua, stared at her questioningly.

"Kairi, sis, are you alright? You look like you are about to cry. What's the matter this time?" Aqua said, pinching her elbow for comfort.

Kairi stared at her sister for a long while as if she doesn't really know where she was or who she's talking to. When she snapped out of her daze, she answered, "Oh, no, it's nothing sis. I'm fine, really. Maybe I'm just tired," she took her elbow away from her sister's grip before continuing "Um… gotta go now. See you later!" She quickly turned her back at Aqua and dashed towards the stairs.

As she twisted the knob of the rooftop's door, fresh breeze quickly brushed her face. She peeked first before fully stepping out. There was no one there. It was just her and the vast blue sky. She took a few more steps before taking in a deep breath. She felt so calm and peaceful whenever she goes there. Maybe Sora's charm still hasn't left the place yet.

Kairi sat there in the middle, doing nothing but to stare at the sky and wait. She knows something will happen. She's certain someone will come.

The door clicked open.

Kairi quickly turned around and as she expected it, the boy came.

Roxas stood by the door, hand still on the doorknob, staring directly at her. There was silence when Roxas slowly walks a few paces towards her. When he was only a couple of feet away from her, he stopped and looked up to the sky. Kairi continued to gaze at him in silence.

Minutes ticked by. When she can't contain it any longer, she said in a quivery voice, "You came!"

Roxas' eyes instantly fell down on her. She involuntarily lowered her gaze, not knowing if it's because of shame or something else she couldn't figure out.

"I'm not him, ok?" Roxas said calmly. Cool breeze swept and rustled their hair and clothes.

Kairi was fighting back her tears. She's so in distraught that she can't think straight.

"What's wrong with you!?" Kairi shouted lowering her head.

"Look, Kairi, I –"

"See, you can even remember my name even though I haven't introduced myself to you yet. You remembered. I knew you –"

"Wait!" Roxas cuts her off, his voice a bit irritated but he tries so hard to hide it and stay calm. "You don't understand, do you?"

He took another step towards her and she looked up. They stared at each other until Kairi opened her mouth to speak. But Roxas cut her off even before she could start.

"I heard your name from everyone in the classroom. They're all talking about you and me. I don't get why everyone keeps on staring at us and whisper to each other. Even that boy sitting in front of me keeps on looking and looking at you then glares at me for reasons I don't even know!"

Kairi pictured how Riku might've stared at her. He's so protective of her even when it's about Sora. Maybe now it's much worse…

"But," Roxas continued "that's not what's important now and it's not what I came for here. I just want us to –"

"Sora…" Kairi said feebly.

"No, Kairi, please…"

"NO!" Kairi shrieked. "Why?! Why? Why, Sora, wh–"

"Enough!" Roxas cuts her out and took a step towards her. "I am not him! Why can't you see?! I am Roxas. I don't want you to see me as someone I am not! I just want to reach out and make all of these to stop. So please, Kairi…" he said with a pleading voice like he's already sick of all these.

But Kairi isn't listening to him. She just covered her ears and shouted at the top of lungs. Tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes. She can't take this any longer.

Roxas was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say to make Kairi to stop. When Kairi broke down and almost fell to her knees, Roxas rushed towards her and caught her in his arms. He hugged her and rested his chin on her head. She didn't resisted and just buried her face on his chest.

"Why, Sora, why?! Why did you leave me? Why..." Kairi cried as she pounded his chest with her fist.

Roxas closed his eyes and waited for Kairi to calm down. When Kairi seems to be tired of crying and her tears had somehow dried up, Roxas placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed her to face him. He looked directly at her but Kairi's eyes were unsteady.

"Kairi," Roxas said frimly "Look at me."

Something in his tone jolted Kairi up. She sat up straight and looked directly at Roxas' eyes.

They stared at each other for a long while. Everything was so still as they looked deep into each other's eyes, as if searching into each other's souls.

There is something strangely odd and familiar with his eyes… Kairi thought.

Something's –

But her train of thought was cut off when Roxas heaved out a sigh and sat down on the floor, scratching his head.

"I don't really get this," he said as he gave Kairi a tired smile. "I don't get why we are fighting. Oh, come on!"

"Wha–"

But before Kairi could ask him what he means, Roxas stood up and pulled her with him. He took a few steps back and inhaled deeply. When he exhaled, he smiled at her and stretched out his hand at her.

"Let's just forget about everything we've done before this and let's start over again, shall we?" Roxas took a step forward and continued, "I'm Roxas Oblivion. Nice to meet you, miss." He smiled vibrantly at her.

But instead of taking his arm, Kairi recoiled and placed her hand on her chest and bowed her head so that Roxas can't see her face.

"I'm sorry… I can't… I just can't take this anymore, Sora," her voice cracked as she said Sora's name. She started to walk forward and tried to walk past Roxas but he grabbed her by the wrist.

Kairi stopped but Roxas didn't speak. A strong breeze passed by and then Kairi whispered, "What?"

"It's Roxas."

Kairi raised her eyes at him. Roxas looked directly back at her. Her eyes were full of sorrow and agony at first and then in a fleeting moment, it changed into a cold stare.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Kairi said in what seems like a disappointed tone. She brusquely pulled her arm out of his grasp and continued to walk towards the door.

Roxas watched her as she held the doorknob and opened the door. But, before she walks out, she looked back at him with a deadly stare and shouted, "I will never, ever forget Sora and everything that happened between the two of us, never."

She slammed the door behind her and left Roxas to stare at the door.

At first she was just walking in a normal pace, her heart racing. But when she can't contain it any longer, she broke into a stride and then into a run. She let her hair fly behind her. She would never cry in front of this many people... again.

She only stopped from running when she reached the gate of their building. Lunch break is almost over and the grounds were nearly deserted. The surrounding is so silent.

Kairi raised her head and stared at the sky. A tear fell from eye but she quickly brushed it with the back of her hand.

How could he do this?! Why does he want me to forget? Did he think it was just easy for me to forget about everything and just to start all over again?! No! How could you do this to me, Sora? Why are you doing this?

The bell rang and the few remaining students that were roaming the campus scurried past her and back to their own rooms.

Kairi stood there as the whole place got deserted. With a sigh, she turned around and started to walk back.

The afternoon went by slowly. Kairi couldn't focus her mind on the lessons. She didn't dare look at her neighbor so when she's not staring outside, she just kept her head hanging low.

When the bell rang at last and their last class was over, most of the students quickly stood up and got ready to go. Kairi still seems to be in her own world and she just kept on staring at her hands. She didn't saw how everyone looked at her and Roxas but she sure does felt it.

A knock on her desk jolted her up. She raised her head to see who it was.

"Here," Riku said monotonously as he slipped something on her desk. She looked down and saw that it was a piece of folded paper.

"See you, Kairi," Riku said and walked out of the room.

Before Kairi could unfold the paper and see why Riku gave it to her, her seatmate spoke.

"See you tomorrow, Charms."

She looked up to see Roxas turn his back at her and leave the room.

She stared at the open door for a couple of seconds before looking back down at the piece of paper. She unfolded it and a message was written with Riku's hurried handwriting. The message said:

Meet me outside. We need to talk.

Riku
