Ok, this is my first fanfic EVER so why not make it a Kingdom Hearts one? Most of this fic will be in third person view and will revolve around Kairi. It might switch to Sora or Riku or whoever the other person might be, so yeah… you get the point. Alright, enough of my ramblings, so here goes the first chapter of Emotionless.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, I used to, but Square Enix and Disney stole it from me. Actually, not really, but I wish I did… Doesn't everybody these days? In fact, I don't even own this computer… it's my brother's… -sigh-

Summary: (SxK) Kairi never liked to open up to anyone before going to high school. Could somebody change that? Just another high school cliché…

As for the pairings, yes, it's Sora and Kairi. Maybe more pairings later on though!

One last thing, when things are in italics, they're thoughts.

Enjoy reading!

A New Beginning

-----------------------------------

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Boom!

The auburn haired girl jumped as she heard the loud noise of thunder outside her window. What a perfect way to start the new school year with a thunderstorm outside. The girl rubbed her sapphire eyes as she yawned. She looked around her messy room, seeing that it was the same dirty room that she never bothered to clean. It was the same as always, some random clothes on the floor, some shoes, and many other random objects. Her walls where covered with posters of various bands and lots of pictures of her many memories. After noticing that there was nothing new in her room, she decided to go back to sleep. She pulled the covers over her head and closed her eyes but she was disturbed yet again…

"Kairi! Get up honey, it's time for school!"

Her eyes shot open as she sat up again.

"Ok mom!" Kairi shouted back.

"Breakfast will be ready in a little while, so don't take too long!"

"I'll be down soon!"

She sighed as she got out of bed. If there was anything worse than getting up, it was getting up to go to school. Especially on a day when it's all dark and gloomy outside. The day didn't bother her though, it was the fact that today was her first day of high school and she didn't have any friends going to the school she was going to. She carefully went around all her stuff on the floor to look out her window. It was all foggy and rain was hitting it from the outside. The window was really cold and she shivered when she touched it. She used the fabric of her pajama top to wipe off the fog instead.

Now that she could see through the window, she inspected the neighborhood. Only a couple of people were walking outside with umbrellas. There were some kids running around in the puddles and getting wet. The typical rainy day. It was the same as always, just like many other things in Kairi's life. She continued to look out the window, the rain acting as a soothing lullaby, until she caught sight of someone. There was somebody else looking out of their window from the house in front of hers.

Aquamarine eyes stared back at her through the rain. The figure smiled and waved at Kairi and then started to laugh. What the heck! Why is he laughing! Kairi then noticed that she was still in her pajamas and she was a mess. Her hair was all messed up due to the fact that she had just woken up. She gave him a dirty look and hurriedly shut the curtains to block out his view. She blushed from embarrassment of being seen like that from her neighbor.

"Stupid Riku…" mumbled Kairi as she went over to her closet to pick out something to wear. He's always trying to look at me through his window. What a pervert!

Riku and Kairi had known each other since they were kids and had always lived across from each other. She would have liked him more except for the fact that they didn't get along that well because Riku was always playing pranks on her. She also disliked the fact that Riku went to Paradise High, were she was going, and he would embarrass her beyond the highest level of embarrassment.

Shrugging off the thought, she walked across to her closet. It apparently was not in a good mood either because she was pummeled by a whole bunch of junk when she opened it. –sigh- This isn't turning out to be such a great day for me…

Maybe she should consider at least cleaning this place once in a while…

Kairi ignored all the junk and kicked it over to the side. There were some clothes that were neatly on hangers, but some were on the floor mixed with random things and many more shoes. She rummaged through all the clothes looking for something to wear today.

"A pink skirt? No…"

"Purple pants? Definitely not…"

"A yellow dress!" How in the world did that get here! Oh yeah, that was the day that mom took advice from Selphie to go shopping for me…

The obvious filth freak continued looking through her wardrobe and just threw the clothing over her shoulder because they weren't good enough for a day like today. If she couldn't decide what to wear soon, she was going to be late for school. Kairi mentally slapped herself for not picking out her outfit last night. Instead she was drawing and listening to music all night long. This is what is known as procrastinating. In Kairi's case, she procrastinated all day everyday. The only things that would catch her attention would be something she was actually interested in.

Mumbling about her crappy day, she finally found something to wear.

"Huzza! This is perfect!" announced Kairi happily as she held up a normal pair of jeans and a tight black collared blouse. It wasn't anything too showy because she wasn't that type of person, but it was still high maintenance looking.

Being satisfied with her selection, she set her clothes down on the bed and walked into her bathroom to take a shower.

Kairi's bathroom was really clean compared to her room. Everything in there was blue. The walls were a light sky blue with a darker bluish pattern on the bottom. The toilet and the sink were both blue, along with the bathtub as well. The counter part of the sink was a pearly kind of white that matched the tiles on the floor. There was a mirror above the sink had a white outline around it. The shower curtain was also blue and so was the rug on the floor. When you walked into the bathroom it was like walking into the ocean. Kairi even had one of those plug in scent things that made the bathroom smell like the ocean too. (A/N: I don't know what those plug in things are called… ;)

She glanced at the clock to see how much time she had before she had to leave. It was 6:54. School started at 8 am so she still had about an hour to get ready and eat breakfast. She turned on the hot water and got undressed. Scooting over her garments she stepped into the shower. Pausing for a moment, she tested to see how warm the water was. It was the perfect temperature. Since it was cold outside, she shivered when the warm water hit her bare skin.

Meanwhile, Kairi's mom, Aurora, was downstairs in the kitchen.

She turned on the water to wash her hands from cooking breakfast and didn't notice that her daughter was in the shower.

Kairi had soap in her eyes when the water coming down turned from soothingly hot to icy cold.

"COLD!" screamed Kairi as she reached to turn off the water.

Realizing what she had done, Aurora flinched when she heard screams coming from upstairs. "He he… woops… this isn't good…" she said really softly.

She giggled at the thought that in about 5 minutes Kairi was going to come downstairs with the death glare from hell and the attitude to go along with it.

Continuing with breakfast, she rummaged through the cabinets and took out two plates and cups.

Before taking out the silverware, she heard a knock at the door.

Kairi trudged out of the bathroom with a towel rapped around her. Her hair was still dripping wet from her shower that was so rudely interrupted. Her face telling the world that she was in a very foul mood now.

"Stupid water temperatures…" Kairi complained as she took out some undergarments from her drawer. She was getting dressed as she heard a knock at the door. With the house silent, she was able to hear her mom walking over to answer the door.

She heard her mom's greeting followed by a male's voice. She instantly recognized it and continued to eavesdrop. The voices were muffled and she couldn't hear what they were talking about clearly because of the rain and the fact that they were downstairs.

Grabbing her hairdryer, she started to dry her hair as she looked out her window to see Riku walking away. I wonder what he and my mom were talking about…

Riku turned to look up at Kairi's window, sensing that somebody's eyes were on him. Seeing that it was Kairi, he smiled and walked on shoving his hands into his jacket pockets.

"Who does he think he is!" Kairi turned around and headed out of her room into the hall and downstairs.

Probably just bothering my mom about something again…

Aurora knew Kairi was coming when she heard the loud thumps coming down the stairs.

As she had predicted, Kairi looked like she was going to kill the next thing that moved. If you saw somebody like that, you would think twice about saying something stupid, but Kairi's mom knew she was always like this in the morning.

Kairi just wasn't a morning person, especially on Monday mornings. Knowing that Kairi would not injure her, she started a conversation.

"Good morning Kairi!" she said cheerfully.

"Good morning mom." mumbled Kairi as she sat down at the table. She leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms waiting for her mom to put down her plate of food.

"Kairi, Riku came over just a little while ago." said her mom setting down a plate of fluffy white pancakes.

"Yeah, I saw him. What did he want?" asked Kairi as she grabbed a fork and knife and started to eat.

"He's such a gentleman if you ask me. He came over and offered to walk you to school!" she said as she grinned and did a cute pose.

Kairi nearly laughed out loud. Riku? Being a gentleman? That's hilarious! "So what did you tell him?"

"I told him that you weren't ready yet, but maybe tomorrow when it isn't such a bad day for you."

"Sure, that sounds ok." she said as she smiled a fake smile that her mom hopefully fell for. Yeah, ok my ass…

"Hey Kairi, what time do you have to be at school?" asked her mother, her mood changing from joyful to worried.

"8:00 a.m. Why?" Kairi questioned. She looked over at the clock on the wall. It said 7:30. She still had plenty of time.

"Kairi, that clock is 20 minutes behind!" Kairi started chocking on her pancakes as she realized that she was going to be late for her first day of school. She reached for a glass of milk and drank it down like an animal.

Running at a quick pace, she ran up the stairs, grabbed her backpack, and ran back downstairs. She was grateful that she didn't trip down the stairs. A fate that would lead to a very unpleasant visit to the hospital.

Hurriedly looking around, she found her shoes and quickly put them on. Running towards the kitchen to get her mom, she also grabbed an umbrella.

"Come on mom! I'm not gonna make it on time!" yelled Kairi as she grabbed her mother by the arm and dragged her out the door.

The only thing that made her slow down was the slippery sidewalk and the loud thunder that had cracked a few seconds ago. Upon reaching the car, Kairi opened the door and shoved her mom in. Without any further delay, Kairi ran over to the passenger door and got in.

"Drive woman, DRIVE!" Kairi yelled as her adrenaline rushed.

"Yes Master." said her mom sarcastically as she stepped on the gas.

If anyone had been looking at this strange situation between family members, they might have thought the worst and considered that the family was very odd. It's a good thing that everyone around here knew that the Yume family always acted that way and never thought anything of it.

5 minutes later

After five minutes of rushing, they made it to Kairi's school on time with a few minutes to spare. She took her things and got out of the car.

"Have a good first day sweetie!"

"Bye mom!" Kairi waved goodbye as her mom drove away into the rain.

A blast of cold chilly wind hit her as she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to bring a jacket. Trembling from the weather, she looked up at the 2-story building that said 'Paradise High School'.

Paradise? Feh, not right now it isn't.

Kairi was distracted from her thoughts as another wind of ice hit her causing her to shudder. She needed to escape from this cold. Remembering that she was short on time, she hurriedly ran into the school to get to class. Unfortunately, she didn't look where she was going and she tripped over a rock on the ground.

"Oh Cra-"

Kairi landed on her hands and knees on the wet sidewalk.

"Ouch…" came the soft pained voice of the girl that was on her knees in the rain.

Uggg, so much of a first impression. Nice going Kairi…

Several people had stopped to laugh at her misfortune. Oh yes, there were some really nice people at this school. Kairi was getting up when she saw a hand in front of her face. She gladly took it and looked up at the kind enough person that had helped her.

A girl that was about her age with oddly cut shoulder blond hair and baby blue eyes was standing in front of her.

"Are you ok? You had quite a fall there." said the girl.

"Yeah, I'm ok, thanks." Said Kairi, dusting of her clothes. It's a good thing her clothes hadn't gotten that wet. They would dry off soon.

"My name's Naminé Yuumei, what's yours?" asked Kairi's new acquaintance.

"Oh, my name's Kairi Yume. Nice to meet you." Kairi said sweetly.

Kairi liked to meet new people. Maybe she and Naminé could become friends and she wouldn't have to be a loner for a while. She hoped that they had some classes together.

"What's your homeroom?" asked Naminé, suddenly reminded that the bell was going to ring in a couple seconds.

For a moment, Kairi couldn't think of anything to say. She only had a deer-in-the-head lights stare as she tried to think what classroom she was supposed to be in.

"Ummmmmmm…." Please don't tell me that I forgot the room number…

"Wait, your name Kairi Yume, right? I think you have the same homeroom as me because they go by last name. All the people with their names beginning with the letter 'y' go to room 917." said Naminé.

Kairi got lucky this time.

"That's good, I was afraid that I was going to have to go to the office and ask for the room number. Thanks so much! Now come on, lets go before were late or something."

Kairi and Naminé ran quickly, but carefully, inside the school. The environment inside was a lot better than outsides current state.

Ring

The first bell rang signaling that there was about 4 minutes to get to class before the final bell rang. Looking around, Kairi gasped as she looked at the size of the school.

It looked larger than it did from the outside and it was really neat and tidy, too business looking to be a school.

It looked more like an office building to her. The only thing out of place was the average students in the hallways at their lockers. There was a large variety of students here unlike the small amount of people in middle school.

"We need to go upstairs to get to homeroom." said Naminé snapping Kairi out of her thoughts.

"Ok, let's go then."

Turning a corner, they found the stairs and went up. They were entertained by small chit chat and questions to get to know each other better.

Going through another hall, Kairi and Naminé continued to talk and giggle until Kairi heard somebody's voice that made her blood freeze.

Just a little bit behind them, were three guys standing by their own homeroom.

"Yeah, I hear that game is really violent"

"Oh yeah, it's really awesome"

The guys continued talking about some cool game as Kairi hurriedly ran into her homeroom class. Naminé curiously stared at Kairi seeing that she was blushing and looking down at the ground as she took a seat near the back of the classroom.

Naminé took a seat next to Kairi as she pondered why her new friend looked so nervous.

"Is that who I think it was!" whispered Kairi, quite surprised. It was meant to be a rhetorical question, but apparently Naminé had overheard.

"Is that who? He he… who did you see? Was it a guy?" Naminé questioned rather annoyingly.

-sigh- She reminds me of Selphie. It's too bad she's barely in 8th grade and she couldn't be here with me…

"Uhhh, I just thought I might have seen somebody I once knew."

"Oh, like an old friend?"

"Yeah, something like that."

Don't worry, it probably wasn't him. I mean, it might have sounded like him, but he moved last year. Stop worrying about it so much! Don't let it get to your head! Just focus on school and in no time you'll-

"Sora Hikari! Get to your homeroom!"

"Yes ma'am!" Sora did a little fake military salute as he ran back to his class.

That proved it. It was him. She didn't hear wrong, it was the exact person she was just thinking about.

What a year this was going to be.

Ring

The final bell rang as the rain continued to pour outside the window and another crack of thunder was heard.
