Sora: You made it really obvious.

Kairi, Roxas and Namine: *Nod heads in agreement*

PART 3: LOCKED OUT OF PERFECTION

Part 3, Chapter 1: Weakness

"Kairi, eat your breakfast." Kairi's mom said.

Kairi shook her head and wrote 'I'm not hungry' on her white board.

Ever since that night in the Land of Radiance Kairi had been eating less and less and had become mute. She was incredibly depressed.

Her parents had no idea what was going on. They thought it was because Kairi had found Roxas and Namine but they wouldn't be coming home, but it wasn't. It was because the love of her life was locked in perfection and she was locked out.

Kairi grabbed her backpack and walked out the door. She walked into her classroom and sat down. Two empty seats were on either side of her. Taped to the front of her desk was a paper saying Kairi, and taped to the ones at her sides said Roxas and Namine.

I wonder how they're doing... Kairi thought as she sat her head down on her desk.


Roxas fought viciously against the pack, when he heard a yelp. The River Pack's leader, Spike, had Sora pinned down. Sora was tearing viciously with his claws, but he had become weaker since he locked Kairi out.

Before Roxas could help, Namine dashed in and grabbed Spike by the neck. A howl sounded and Roxas turned around. A blue wolf was howling. He dashed forward and grabbed Spike by the neck, leaving Namine with Sora and Roxas. Oshtolaite the blue wolf was fighting strong.

Namine looked at Sora and saw one long cut on his neck. He stood up and shook it off, but Namine knew it hurt really bad. Namine raced off into the fight, her long white fur flowing. She let out a yelp as a different wolf tackled her down.

If things were normal, Sora would've saved her. But he was having his own problems now. Namine fought as hard as she could, but nothing was working. She was going to die.

Suddenly, Oshtolaite raced into the fight and tore the wolf off her. He let out a vicious snarl and Spike led his pack away. Oshtolaite spun around and snarled at Sora, who was now a gray and red wolf.

"What are you doing?!" Roxas exclaimed. Oshtolaite didn't answer, and just kept snarling at Sora. He ran over and pinned Sora down.

Instinctively, Roxas and Namine ran to save their pack leader. But they were thrown off to the side, as Oshtolaite had a barrier up.

"What is the matter with you? I told you to protect any werewolves you find! Do they look safe?" Oshtolaite asked, looking at Roxas and Namine.

Roxas had cuts all along him, with a long gash on the top of his head.

Namine had a slit on her neck, but it was very small. She had blood all over her white fur.

"I trained you myself. I can't believe you have failed me so much." Oshtolaite said coldly, walking away from Sora.

"If they end up getting in a situation, I might consider saving them. If you get in a situation, I will not help you, Sora." Oshtolaite said, racing away.

Roxas, Namine, and Sora transformed, walking off towards camp.

I hope Kairi is better off at her home than we are here. Sora thought.
