Summary: Marrying or dating the good looking celebrity hunk is just about every girl's dream. Even being with them just for a day is enough to make some girls weak in the knees. Rather than being weak in the knees for Kairi, she rather punch the boy in the face. After being entered into a silly contest where the winner gets to spend 100 days travelling around with Sora -- the current teen idol -- by going to award shows, ceremonies, grand openings, fundraisers, photoshoots, and more, she finds herself anything but excited. With somewhat of a bad reputation, Sora is the last person she'd ever spend time with on earth. When it comes down to the end of the day, will sparks be flying or will the only thing flying be the fists exchanged?

Tohrue's Note: Ahh, my .. fifth story, I think? I got this idea while I was walking around the Mall of America with my friend and there was some upcoming singer there on some promotional tour. All the girls were flocking to his table to get his autograph, but my friend and I found ourselves absoulutely disgusted. Hence where I got the start of this story from.
100 Days With Mr.Arrogant

March Twenty Second, 2006
Prologue
The napkin that Kairi had now been grasping onto for whatever seemed like ever, was starting to slowly tear away at the seams as the piece of hefty paper continued to bend and fold into shapes. However, as the ground below slowly started to seem farther and farther away as time passed, the grasp continued to tighten on the napkin.
Heights. Absolutely hated them. Despised them with a passion if anything. She'd sworn she'd never fly in an airplane, but just look where she was now. As the twinkle of the ocean below showed off its glory, Kairi had never realized how big it'd been. By now, the part of Islands in which she lived on, were out of sight and it was just a neverending abyss of different shades of blue.
However, Kairi's worrying expression soon turned into a mess of anger and frustration. This hadn't even been her idea in the first place. If it hadn't of been for SELPHIE then she wouldn't have even been there ..
Flashback
A week and a half earlier.
"I cannot believe you guys would enter me in such a thing."
"Oh, chill out Kairi! It's not like you'd win! I mean, come on, I heard on the news that over 1,000 girls entered! The odds of you winning are one in a million.""
Selphie acting over confident, was sprawled out across her bed, paging through the bathing suit catalogue Kairi had gotten just a couple days before in the mail. It'd been the last day of school and they were finally free what they called hell. No more blue and white uniforms for the next 3 & a half months, the girls would surely linger in their joy of wearing tank tops, mini skirts, and sandals for the next 115 days.
"Hmph," slightly irritated, Yuffie who was sitting on the carpet next to Kairi, rolled her in eyes in response as she too, looked through a summer magazine full of attire.
Grabbing for the remote that laid next to her, Kairi soon raised it in the air and pointed it in the direction of the screen that hung up in the corner of her room. Within seconds of her digit tapping the bright red button, the faint sight of image began to show on the screen as voices joined in seconds later.
In silence, the girls continued to page through their high fashion magazines as they immediately tuned their hearing attention towards the voices inside the platnium colored box. Fussing about the weather and the high temperatures to come, it must have continued for about ten minutes until high screams broke the subject. Curious, they paused from their catalogues and looked to see what the commotion was.
A crowd of screaming girls, all ranging from eight to eighteen gathered in a large crowd as a podium sat directly in front of them. At first, nobody was there, but then a figure began to walk onto the stage -- hence the screams continuing.
Smiling at the camera, all three of the girls took immediatae notice of the high good looking factor that the boy carried. Shining white teeth and long, yet boyish hair, they immediately found themselves entranced. Yuffie and Kairi found themselves puzzled by who it was, but seconds later, Selphie screamed out his name.
"That's Riku! He's Sora's publicist! He's sooooo good looking! Heck, he's famous just for it! Can you believe he's a publicist at 19? He use to be a model, too!"
Now realizing what this was about, both Yuffie and Kairi frowned as they soon brought their eyes back to their magazines and muted their attention away from the TV. It was the contest results. While every other girl on the Islands would be biting their nails for the 'intense' moments to come, Yuffie and Kairi seemed to be the only ones who quite frankly, didn't give a damn.
Sora was perhaps, the most famous teen idol at the moment. Sure, he was good looking but it wasn't enough for the either of them. Before, they hadn't minded him that much, but after breaking headlines that Sora had thrown his pop in a waiter's face after being given a remark about his hair, it was enough to make the line of annoyance change to hatred. With this story, not only did he lose a couple hundred fans, but his good reputation went down the drain. After that, hundreds of people began telling stories how Sora had once did this to them or once said that. Now it seemed that he was trying to get it all back.
There was being a contest held for one very lucky girl who would get to spend her whole summer -- well, 100 days -- with Sora. Travelling around to premerieres, parties, the annual High Fashion Ball where many celebrities attended each year, award shows, etc. Not to mention the very lucky female would be staying with Sora at his own very home when they weren't travelling to and fro, staying at 5 star hotels and his luxury homes all around.
Sure, it sounded like fun -- think of how famous just one girl could be for that. But if it meant being with Sora for those 100 days, neither Yuffie or Kairi would have wanted to do it. Yuffie claimed to despise the boy after eating a hamburger; a week after claiming he was vegetarian. And Kairi .. well she just didn't like mean people to be quite forward.
"Here I hold the very name of the winner. Now, if this girl is not in the crowd today, we already have a camera crew setup at her house to surprise her with the news. Boy, will she get a surprise when she sees herself on TV if she's watching."
Chuckles of nervous intent exchanged quitely throughout the crowd. However, it soon fell down as the piece of paper was unfolded. Both girls looked up now, just so later on they could poke fun at how dramatic this girl would get.
"100 dollars that she faints."
"Probably," Kairi giggled.
Suddenly, balloons escaladed down from the sky on TV and the name of the winner was shouted out. Immediately, music began to play but then the image of the grinning publicist was cut off on TV. But before the three girls could finally take in what came next on TV or who's name was said, the sound of Kairi's bedroom door slamming against the wall echoed throughout the room.
"Mom, not now! We're watching telev--"
"OH HONEY, OH MY .. OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"
All girls turning away their attention from the TV, Selphie jumped off the bed, while Yuffie and Kairi slowly stood up. Turning around, they came to find standing in her doorway, was a camera crew.
"CONGRATULATIONS KAIRI, YOU HAVE JUST WON THE 100 DAY CONTEST WITH SORA! HOW DO YOU FEEL?
Kairi's reaction?
She fainted on the floor.
Present
Day One
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It is 84 degrees on the North side of the Islands right now. Please wait in your seats until your seatbelts have been unfastened and then feel free to grab for your luggage and head towards the front of the plane for exit. Thank you for riding Destiny Airlines and have a great day."
As the seatbelt around her fragile little waist instantly unbuckled itself, Kairi stood up and grabbed for the green luggage bag that had been placed above her head for the time being. Taking the handle into her grasp, she pulled it down and then soon began to to head down the aisle.
If it wasn't for the stupid contract rules that had obliged to everyone who was entered in the contest, she wouldn't have even gone along with this. But after threatening to be sued and her mother claiming it would be a good 'experience,' she decided it was best. Her plan though for meeting and constantly being with a guy she despised? Ignore him and be rude. Sure it wasn't her, but after what she'd heard about him, he deserved it.
Now off the plane and going down the subdivison that connected the plane to the airport, she could feel the butterflies munching away the interior of her stomach walls. How would she greet him when she meet him? Smile and shake his hand? Spit in his face? Try to act really immature in hopes of getting rid of him? Oh no. She couldn't believe she was actually nervous to meet such a frill of a jerk as him.
"Miss Kairi, Miss Kairi, over here!"
Exiting the ramp, she came to find a rather large crowd of people with their cameras and television equipment. One mand stood out before them, waving his hat. Dressed in a black tuxedo, Kairi assumed that it must have been the limo driver or something of the sort. Soon after her name being called, the bulbs of cameras instantly began to shine and questions were shouted ou from all directions. Holding her hand to shelter her eyes, the bright flashes began to disintegrate her visage.
"Oh come on you guys, stop. She's not use to it."
Feeling a hand upon her shoulder. Kairi squinted her eyes for a few more minutes as the picture taking slowly came to a stop. Looking up, she came to find the last person she would have expected to 'save' her.
With a rather warm looking smile, the embarrassment that came from it instantly showed up on the girl's cheeks. Feeling a bit embarrassed that not only Sora was touching and smiling at her, but people were taking pictures of this despite the boy's statement to stop. Surely once Selphie and Yuffie saw these pictures in one of those Celebrity gossip magazines, they'd be rolling on the floor while dying of laughter.
Placing her hand near her shoulder, she grabbed his finger with her own and blantly pulled it as if to indicate she didn't want his hand anywhere on her body. Eyebrow raising, she opened her lips to speak.
"I can handle myself, thank you."
Perhaps a little shocked by her reaction, she didn't waste any time in bothering to see what he did next. Readjusting the strap of her bag on her opposing shoulder, she began to walk towards the crowd of people. Stopping before the man that had been calling out her name before the stalkerazzi went into a mess of chaos, she smiled at him and outreached her hand.
"I'm Kairi. Pleased to meet you!"
"I am Gepetto; Sora's personal driver. I will be driving you everywhere we go, rather it be bus, car, or bike. Sora always requestsI drive for him. I am very honored. Though I am old, there's nothing I rather be doing."
Smiling, she nodded her head as if to agree with him. But really, she felt sad for the old man. Pale and frail, it looked like he could collapse in just seconds due to a heart attack or a stroke. As the man reached out to take her luggage, Kairi shook her head in disagreement; physically stating with the expression of her face that she could take care of her own things. With what she had in there, she was sure Gepetto would have keeled over half way to the car.
Turning around, the old man slowly began to walk off. Kairi started to follow soon after; ignoring the cameras and people that followed like helpless puppies seconds later. Turning back, she saw Sora still in his spot, only now this time he was laughing with his publicist that she'd seen on TV only a week before. They must have caught her stare as to they both stopped talking and looked at her in a silent exchange. Shaking her head, she turned back around and continued to follow Gepetto.
These next 100 days were going to be the worst.
