Summary: After defeating Xemnas, finding the door to light, and returning back to the islands nothing interesting has really happened. Well, except Sora discovers a secret that tears him apart and Namine has dispersed from Kairi, and claims she can feel, and even though she won't admit it to anyone, Namine feels for Sora, are her feelings returned now that Riku and Kairi are together?

Just ran into a few someone's today
Someone's that I never really knew
And I used to think how I had them all so figured out

But no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for what's true

Love Is A Very Strong Feeling

Chapter 1: Discovery

Sora was sitting on the beach of Destiny Island. He was staring off into the sunset just thinking.

'I wonder where Riku and Kairi are'

He stood up dusting the sand from his clothes. He walked around the usual areas and found them no where. He was about to call out for them when her heard a noise from a nearby group of trees. He walked over quietly.

What he saw made his heart skip a beat.

There they were. Riku had his arms around her waist, touching her, kissing her.

HER. His Kairi.

He stared at them. Not in curiosity, just pure shock.

When they pulled apart, grinning at each other like it was Christmas. Looking into each other's eyes with pure happiness, and Sora felt a sharp pang in his chest, his mouth went dry, and his eyes burned from tears. All he could think was 'How can they do this to me? Why would they want to hurt me like this?'

All of a sudden Riku pulled a little away from Kairi.

"What's wrong?"

Sora felt another sharp pang, just hearing her voice nearly killed him.

"We can't keep doing this Kairi. Sora's our best friend. We are being horrible friends doing this, not telling him. Especially me, I knew he loved you." Riku said, the last part a whisper, though both could hear him.

Kairi sighed.

"Riku, I love Sora too…"

Sora looked over at Kairi, with a little ray of hope.

"But I love him as a brother."

Another sharp pang.

"I'm in love with you Riku, and not Sora, or anyone can change the way I feel, but I do agree, we need to tell Sora. Just not yet, I can't do that to him yet." Kairi finished taking Riku's hand.

Sora was using the a tree for support.

Riku sighed.

"You promise we'll tell him though?" He asked.

"Yes, soon." Kairi replied taking his other hand, and standing up on her tiptoes kissing his cheek.

They both smiled again.

Sora walked away, holding his chest. He walked back down to the beach and sat down, he was very aware there were tears running down his face, he could see them drop onto the sand. But he couldn't feel them.

He couldn't feel anything.

::The Next Day::

Sora was sitting on the usual tree looking out at the ocean. He just sat. He thought of yesterday, and it made him angry, but he really didn't know what to do.

Fly off the handle and go attack Riku? Just pretend he didn't see it forget about it and wait until they tell him on their own? Run away? He just didn't know.

"Hey Sora."

Sora turned and saw Riku approaching him.

Sora decided that he should just tell them that he saw them, then lie about how he felt.

"Hey." Sora mumbled.

"What's up? Haven't really talked to you since yesterday." Riku said leaning against the tree.

"Riku, about yesterday…I saw you and Kairi." Sora just came out and said it. It made his heart ache saying it. The images of the two flashing in his head. He felt like he was going to be sick.

Riku stared at him.

"Sora…" He began.

Just then there was a scream.

"Kairi!" The two males said in unison.

They jumped up and ran to the direction of the scream.

When they saw Kairi, she was on the ground. There was someone next to her rubbing her arm saying her name, but they had their back to them. Sora and Riku rushed over.

Kairi was panting on the ground, and when Sora looked up at the other person, he was shocked to say the least.

"Namine?"
