A/N: I did this a few nights ago at like, 3-4am. I have this on dA, same title. You should comment and fave it, because chapters will be posted on there sooner, and OCs will be seen there.
My feet hung loosely off my bed, trying to look asleep. My auburn hair was frizzy, and dry due to the beach party my friends held at the island. It was just a bunch of girls, and we gossiped… Mainly about them. My best friends, Sora and Riku. And then when Sora's name was mentioned, I was then brought into questioning.
"Kairi, get up! I told you not to go to that cursed party!" I heard my mom scream up the stairs. Her voice made my hair shiver -- she was pregnant and hormonal. I rolled off of my bed, groaning. It was summer vacation, why can't I ever sleep in? And to top it off, it's six thirty in the morning! I rolled my eyes, imitating my mom's angry voice as she yelled incoherent words at me. I took my alarm clock and threw it at the closet, which broke a hole in it.
"Oops…" I whispered, pulling myself up onto my feet. My pajama shorts barely covered my bum, and my tank top's spaghetti straps just were hanging off of my shoulders. I slipped on my slippers and quickly brushed my hair, as I sat down at my desk. I was looking back at a mirror, or me if you wanted to get technical.
Six months since Sora and Riku returned. Six months of no heartless, no need for a key blade (we did sword fight with each other to practice. Sora's better than Riku now, go figure!)… It was peaceful. Sora and Riku had to study, too. They were gone for a year, they were really behind. But now Riku's the prince of Destiny Island High, and Sora baby sits for munny. Me? I hang out with Selphie and Tidus. I'm older, but they're fun.
I looked outside, and saw the sun shimmering on the beach that was about a mile away. I love it here… Then again, I didn't really go sight-seeing in the other worlds. I was the damsel in distress, which wasn't fun. I was reckless and ran into the darkness, too. Which, when Sora and Riku returned, both lectured me a good month about how stupid that was. But I wanted to see Sora once more, was that so wrong?
I finally was awake enough to go check my calendar, summer days and nights were all the same. Beautiful nights, too. I loved that beach party. Tonight's gonna be everyone from school. Everyone… Stars, full moon tonight too! I thought, my cheeks rosy from the romantic thoughts that could happen. I skimmed the calendar, and saw the date, which read: "June 15 -- Mom and Dad are going to the main island for a month, for delivery. All alone! Yay!"
I stared at that darn piece of paper for the longest time, before it sunk in. One month, no parents, no yelling… Just me. Thank you God! I mentally leapt for joy. I would have literally jumped, but last time I did that, I was grounded for two weeks, apparently loud noises doesn't help my mom. Oh well, I could do it mentally, right? I quickly opened my door and walked as fast as I could downstairs. At the base of the stairs, I froze dead in my steps.
Sora.
He was in my house, he was in my door way… He was staring at me half naked! I turned as red as Sora in Valor, and looked around fast. "Mom! Dad! Where are you guys? Why didn't you tell me Sora was here! I would have at least put pants on!" I shouted madly, obviously embarrassed. I looked shyly up at Sora, and noticed he was red, too. But he was a boy, he was probably thinking something along the lines of sex.
"We did, Kai, we did! After your mom yelled at you, we told you he was here." Dad walked in, carrying four suitcases. Or at least trying to.
"Uh, do you need help with that, Sir?" Sora asked, already taking two of the suitcases from under my dad's arms, setting them by the door. My dad followed suit. Dad had long brownish gray hair, pulled back in a loose ponytail, and bluer eyes than me. His resembled the oceans… I envied his eyes each day, until I realized mine look like the sky, and the sky holds the stars, sun, and moon. I'm better.
"Oh… I thought Mom was just yelling at me for being alive again…" I muttered, turning around, remembering the last time my mom told me that. It was after I got home from hanging with Sora at the local diner. I got home five minutes late, and Mom obviously stressed too much. Five minutes, seriously, it was only five. And she yelled something along the lines of punishing me for being around. It hurt… It hurts to this day thinking about it. Dad told me it was hormones, and that she really didn't mean it… But she didn't make it a point from then to apologize.
So, we haven't been on good terms since her fourth month of pregnancy. So, four and a half months of just arguments or weeks of no talking. Dad was our messenger, how I pitied him.
"Kai… Stop dwelling on that, I told you--"
"She hasn't made any notions of any type to say 'sorry'. Don't apologize for her rude ways, Dad, okay? I'll get over it." I replied curtly.
"Kairi, is this a bad time…?" Sora managed to get in before Dad could talk.
A bad time? Never!
"No, it's a basic day. Mom and Dad are leaving for a month, I'll be alone. So, I need to fight with my mom before she leaves, to get one last word out of her…" I stuck my tongue out, to prove it was a joke. Sora didn't laugh, he looked serious. Kind of weird to see him look serious, that was Riku's job in our group.
"Get dressed, I want to take you out." Sora said, not smiling… Dad walked past him, obviously getting the luggage into the car.
"… If I go, will you be happy?" I whispered, walking up to him. His spiky brown hair was longer, his bangs hiding his blue eyes now. But he brushed them out of the way. Sora grew in the last month, too. He was a good five inches taller than me, and his muscles were coming in very nicely… It was fun to stare at him when he played beach volleyball with the P.E. class.
"Of course, I can't be sad forever, can I?" Sora ruffled my hair, forcing a smile.
"I don't know… Can you?" I asked, grabbing his wrist with my hands. My hands were smaller, and I was paler than him, but nothing wrong with that… But I looked tiny compared to him.
"Just go get dressed, before your mom comes out, okay?" Sora blushed, looking away as he reluctantly pulled his hand away. I giggled and ran upstairs to get dressed.
What to wear? And why did Sora blush? And why is it only us?
These thoughts ran through my mind as I eagerly dug through my closet. Shorts, tank top, long sleeved shirt, skirt… I accidentally threw the skirt I was looking for behind me… But I continued to look for the top I wanted. It was baby blue, with a kitten with sparkly letters under it reading 'I'm purrrrrfect'. Cheesy, but the kitten was adorable.
I soon found it and scooted my clothes under my bed for later, and picked up the blue denim skirt I was looking for. It was a mini skirt, and I loved it. I tossed my pajamas onto my bed, and zipped up my skirt. Before I put my top on, I opened the door and walked to the bathroom. Only in my lilac bra.
Oh, how I regretted that.
As I walked into the bathroom, I saw Sora upstairs, looking at the pictures of me that my adoptive parents had of me. Seeing as I just appeared on the islands one day, I don't have much little pictures. But Sora saw my breasts! Not that they're small, they were a C cup, but he saw me topless! How do I face him now!? I freaked out as I ran into the bathroom, slamming the door. I slipped the top over my torso, and brushed my teeth, still beet red. Will I get a moment without blushing around Sora? I thought glumly, spitting out the toothpaste and gargling. I wiped my mouth clean and brushed my hair again, and grabbed a hair tie, putting it around my right wrist.
As I put a hair clip in my hair, I heard Sora's muffled voice through the door. "Kai… I'm sorry…"
"It's not your fault." I spurted out quickly after that, "I shouldn't have walked out topless, I mean it is my house, but I have a dad. I should know better. And on top of that, you were in the house." I opened the door, looking down. "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" I said that in one breath.
Sora laughed and grabbed me by the hand, "Stop talking. You do that when embarrassed. Did you know?" Sora grinned back at me as we turned the corner to face the stairs.
I stopped before I walked down the stairs, Sora was four steps ahead of me. "I talk a lot when nervous? Like when?" I demanded to know.
"Like back at the bathroom." Sora stated, looking up at me. "It's cute, though. Don't change. Ever." He winked up at me, and continued walking.
"Wait! Don't stop! How much more do you know about me? Tell me, tell me, tell me!" I rambled.
"There we go again." Sora broke out laughing as he held the door open for me, and I walked outside, him following by shutting the door. I looked over to the driveway. Mom and Dad were gone. No goodbyes. God, was I loved or what? I pulled out my cell phone and noticed five new text messages. All from Riku, saying, 'Go to the party!' … All of them said it.
