Hold your pitchforks! I'm sorry for not updating in a while, I just started high school and it's such a big transition for me! I've just had a few quizzes and tests already, so I'm pretty stressed out and barely have time to write! Don't worry, I'll try to keep up as much as I can to not disappoint you all, but for now, let's get on with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, or any of the characters used in the story.


Chapter 6

Monday came.

And it was quite…hectic.

The Hitari twins entered the double doors to their school, and were not greeted to the usual chatter of students their ears were used to. Instead, it was complete silence. Every single pair of eyes drifted to Kairi, the corners of their mouths twitching dangerously, as if they were holding back from releasing an uproar of laughter.

Kairi nudged her sister. "Nams…is it just me or…"
"Yeah, this is strange."

They awkwardly made their way to their lockers, trying to avoid the dominant stares from the students in the hallway. Namine frowned, trying to come up with a reason as to why everyone was acting so weird. Did something happen over the weekend? Did—

Oh. Oh.

The party, of course! Almost every student went! Which means…that majority of the school population witnessed Kairi sing in a drunken manor! Namine stopped herself, but they seemed to enjoy it…so why are they being so strange? Something didn't add up, and the blonde was determined to find out. Suddenly, a teenage boy, who had to be a freshman walked up to the twins. He smirked at Kairi with devious green eyes before whispering, "Quite a performance, wasn't it Hitari?"

Before Kairi can even ask, he snickered and dashed away. With narrowed eyes, she turned to her sister. "What did he mean by that? What is he talking about?"

"Uh…Kai-,"

Ring! Ring!

Namine sighed, and placed a hand on Kairi's shoulder. "I'll explain later."

Kairi watched her sister walk away, before she shut her locker and made her way to class. It was as if the students didn't even care to hide their laughter anymore, some just giggled and snickered right in her face! To say it was annoying, was an understatement. I swear. Kairi thought. If someone gives me another glance, I'm gonna go insane! It didn't make any sense to her. Have the students gone mad?

To her fortune, Kairi finally made it to class, but as soon as she entered…all the of the students snickered.

Damn it.

The redhead slumped down in her chair, pulling the hood from her hoodie lower on her head so no one could see her. All morning, people kept teasing her about things she've never heard of! Then, they kept singing some stupid song over and over! A presence slid beside her, and Kairi glanced up to see her twin.

"I'm actually kinda glad to see you."

Namine raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"All morning, everyone kept taunting me! I can't stand it! Why? I don't know!"

The blonde slowly nodded her head. "The same thing has been happening to me…but don't you remember?" Kairi narrowed her eyes. Remember? Remember what? "Um…no…? Did something happen?" Namine sighed, placing a hand under her chin. "Do you remember that party we went to over the weekend?"

"Yeah…kind of, it's a little fuzzy."

"Well, you-,"

Before she could continue, Larxene and Xion slumped at their lunch table and they also seemed a tad bit stressed. Kairi groaned, "What happened now?" Larxene seemed, well, mad and if looks could kill, the redhead would be twelve feet under. "Is that all you can ask?!"

Obviously taken aback, Kairi raised a hand in the air. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, little miss drunk, if it weren't for your little act at the party, this wouldn't be happening!"

"Drunk…?"

Xion shook her head. "People have been getting on our nerves, just because of what you did!" Kairi felt her heart drop, eyes lowering. "I don't know what you're talking about…" Namine placed a hand on her sister's shoulder. "Kairi, at the party, you did something a little crazy."

"What?"

Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang throughout the cafeteria. All the phones that were on the table lit up, their screens flashing awake. With her interest peeked, Kairi glanced at her phone only to find a message from an unknown number. "It's from Sora…" Xion mumbled. Of course she would know, Kairi thought. He's her brother.

Trusting Xion's statement, Kairi tapped on the message.

Her whole entire world shattered.

In that moment, she remembered everything that happened at the party. The drinking, Riku's house, the singing…everything. The message was a video of her singing, except it was edited to make it seem more humiliating and embarrassing. "Oh my God…" Kairi whispered in horror.

Xion gave her a sympathetic look, suddenly feeling regretful from her words from earlier.

"Islands, diamonds, trips around the world!"

As if on cue, every student present in the cafeteria turned to the redhead and to the people at her table.

And they laughed.

Pointing, devious smirks, endless teasing.

Kairi couldn't stand it.

She slammed her hands on the table, grabbed her bag, and rushed out of the cafeteria, ignoring her friends pleas. Kairi continued to run, until she stopped, hiding beneath the stairs. Her cheats heaved up and down, as she angrily brushed away any tears from her cheeks. "W-who could have done this?" She whispered to herself.

Then the answer came as clear as day. The same person who been's teasing her for a while, the same person who hosted the party…was the same person who sent the damn message.

Anger fueled through her veins, and her hands balled up into fists. She glared through blurry eyes, blood erupting from her palms due to her sharp nails.

She was gonna kill Sora.
