I know that not many people actually read the authors notes in the beginning of the chapters, but oh well. I'll type it up anyway.

Hey guys, I'm really sorry for the uber long wait. I've actually had it written in my notebook for about a month or two now...but I've been really busy band and stuff. It's really hard to keep up to everything. I still have to update my other story 'In the Name of Love'(which if you haven't read it yet, you should). Please review when you're done reading.

I'm actually writing chapter 3 in my notebook right now. So I'll try to get that done and finished as soon as possible. It just so happens that I've had as many distractions as one could believe.

I hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family or friends. And I also hope that your Christmas season gets a good start(if I'm not back in time). I pray for you all to have a great holiday season.

Chapter 2- Day 5 Olympiad

Over the past few days Sora and Kairi talked more and more, getting to know a lot about each other.

Sora stood in front of the gym again today, "GOOOOOOOD MORNING! It's finally Friday my friends. Today we'll be ending a little early for the Olympiad. I strongly suggest that you call parents or friends for extra clothes. We've got some really cool activities planned, but some of them are also really messy. So, if you need extra clothes, phones will be available at lunch. Okay, let's get going outside right now to start some drill."

The kids all headed outside while Kairi walked up to Sora, who was getting his trumpet out of its case, "Hey Sora." Sora looked up, "Can I borrow your cell phone? Mine definitely just died. I forgot to charge it and I need to get my friend to bring me some clothes."

"Yeah, sure." Sora handed her his phone and Kairi called her friend. Sora listened in while Kairi argued with her friend over what she would do in return for the favor. Finally, she got her friend to agree to drop off a swim top, shorts and a white shirt.

"Thanks buddy. Sometimes my friend can be hard to bribe," She started walking away until she heard Sora's voice calling her back.

"Hey Kai, I need a partner for the water balloon toss. You up for it?" He gave her a sly smile and she smiled back.

"Of course, you're my buddy," They smiled again at each other as Sora walked out of the room.

Yuna rushed up to Kairi, "Wow, I can't believe it. You're like his dream girl, I swear. I've been trying since my freshman year to get with him and you've done it!! But how did you do it?"

"What in the world are you talking about Yuna?" Kairi took out a set of mallets as she heard the other pit members starting to warm up.

"How in the world did you get Sora to like you? I tried so hard and he never really…got it or whatever. How the hell-"

"Wait a second! You think Sora likes me? Are you crazy? We're just friends," Kairi's face looked stunned as she watched Yuna nod her head.

"Sure you are. But it's definitely not what it looks like to me. Or some of the other girls. Sora can be mad flirtatious. He's learned that from Riku. And trust me, he flirts with you a lot. You might not notice it cause it's small and it is indeed adorable, but darling, open your eyes. He's got the hots for you. He is the one who wrote 'mad banger' on the list that we made on Monday."

Kairi sat down and giggled, "You've got to be kidding me Yuna. We're just friends that's all."

O – O – O – O

The whole came went outside for the Olympiad shortly after lunch. They stood in clumps of friends. Mainly freshman together then everyone else with their friends or sections. Pence then announced the first event would be a march-off.

Kairi sat on the side lines with the other pit members because they didn't march. She watched as people slowly started to get kicked out for the wrong moves. But Sora remained in. She watched him intently until the last two were left. Sora and some boy named Cid. The crowd all stood now. Some yelling for Cid, more yelling for Sora.

Finally getting down to the last move, the boys ended up going in different directions. Pence put them at parade rest and then announced Sora as winner. Kairi cheered as he walked over towards her and the group. She gave him a hug then backed away to watch the shock on his face. Sora grabbed the microphone from the stand and announced that they would be doing the screaming contest part of the Olympiad next.

Riku, Roxas, and Cloud got into the final rounds. Sora got out in the second round. Cloud won and got to pie someone. He slowly walked over to Sora and pied him, "That my friend, is for last year," Cloud said and the band laughed.

They all paired up for the next event, the water balloon toss. Someone handed Sora a towel so he and Kairi could go play.

Roxas and Riku were paired up playing next to Sora and Kairi. On the third toss, Riku missed and the balloon hit Kairi, blowing up all over her.

Since she was distracted, her own balloon also ended up blowing up on her. She turned around to shake some of the water off when she saw Selphie and Namine standing in front of her, each with a balloon.

"Oh…OH NO!!" Kairi tried to run away from them, but they both had clear shots at her and she was now soaked, through and through. Her friends laughed at her as Sora watched as he could now see all her curves under the shirt. Perfect. Not too many, but just enough.

Sora grabbed the microphone once again began to talk, "Now, as all of the upperclassman know, and most of the freshman or newbies should… The president, me, vice pres and sec all agree on one deserving freshman or newbie for an award. The award is obviously for the best rookie. One who shows that they know what they're doing. They have responsibility. They do what they're told to one time through. They know the music that was given to them and they are respectful. A mothers dream, right? This year, the award goes to Kairi Westerfeld."

Everyone cheered except for a few jealous freshmen. "Now, obviously there is no uhm…material item to be given to you. But bragging rights do count." Sora said, and a few people chuckled. "But your friends that knew decided to get you this."

Kairi looked puzzled as Sora smiled at her until she felt the cold wet surface of ice water being poured all over her. She screamed and then shook herself, trying to get some of the water off.

Sora looked at how her clothes hung to the form he called perfect. Her body moved against the tight clothing and Sora loved every second of it. He wanted more than anything to make Kairi his. He wanted her next to him and he wanted to hold her tight.

Sora was snapped out from his thoughts by the reality of Pence speaking, "And now what you've all been waiting for…the tug-of-war!"

People cheered and Kairi watched as the girls and guys stripped themselves free of the over clothes they were wearing. Since she saw all of her friends now in they're bathing suit tops, she did the same.

"Wow Kai! You've got a GREAT body!!" Selphie and Namine both said at the same time.

Namine saw Sora staring at Kairi, "And I think Sora agrees."

Sora turned a shade of pink and then himself took off his shorts as he tried to avoid the look from Kairi, Selphie and Namine. Kairi herself looked him over. Starting at the muscles that rippled over his chest. Then as he turned around, she saw his sharp shoulder blades and continued looking further down his body until she reached his bottom.

Riku walked over to Sora, "You've got one mad banger girl watching you. I say you charm her."

Sora turned around slowly and saw Kairi watching him, "Hey Riku, Roxas, I've got an idea!" The two boys walked over to him. He whispered something to them and then laughed. Sora walked over to Pence and took the microphone.

"As the first tug-of-war challenge, my boys and I challenge Kairi, Nami, Yuna, Rikku, Selphie, Paine, Tifa, Aeris and Olette." All of the teens joined in the center. Sora turned off the microphone, "Now to make this interesting…"

Roxas took place now, "If the guys win, you all have to flash us. All of you. And if the girls win, we flash you."

"EW!" Kairi screeched. Namine walked over to her and placed a hand on Kairi's shoulder.

"Hon, this is the way that things work around here. Might as well get used to it ya know? It seems weird at first, but soon you'll be used to it. Plus, you get to see Sora's tra-la-la if we win."

Kairi sighed as the girls agreed. The girls then took they're place, putting Kairi in the front of the line since she was the smallest then the strongest, Paine, at the back of the line.

Sora stood across from Kairi and smiled, "You're definitely going to be goin' down Westerfeld."

Kairi stuck out her tongue, "You wish Hikari. I know you wanna see my muffins so bad, but it's not happening babe."

Sora chucked as the 'ring master', Hayner, set the flag loose. The girls pulled and pulled, actually gaining area over the guys, moving them closer in. The boys countered the girls attack and then Riku fell off the end of the line. When the girls pulled that time, the guys main defense was gone, causing them all to fall into the pit of goo.

Hayner grabbed the microphone, "And the girls win!!"

The girls jumped up and down, cheering themselves, watching the boys drool over what they had failed to get to see and now probably wouldn't get to see.

After sections challenged each other, the group of friends stayed to clean up everything. "Okay guys, all adults are gone. Let's see what you got," Rikku said.

The boys all groaned as then stood in a line in front of the girls, dropping their pants. The girls gasped as Tifa ran forward, grabbed Clouds hand and ran off.

Kairi gawked and closed her eyes as she heard giggling from the other girls. Namine tugged at Kairi, trying to get the hands from her eyes. "Fine, I give up, they pulled up the pants," Namine said, and as soon as Kairi opened her eyes, she saw that the boys were still standing nude in front of her.

"Nami!" Kairi tried to look away but was persuaded by seeing Sora. She looked at his eyes. How bright they were, just staring completely, with all attention back at her, while the other boys were busy letting the girls see them nude. Kairi let her eyes fall lower and then gasped.

"Okay, minute is up!" Wakka said and all the guys pulled up their pants and boxers back on.

O – O – O – O

Kairi had finished helping clean up and everyone left. She was walking home. Her mother was too sick to drive and her aunt was always taking care of her mother. No one had enough money to buy Kairi her own car, and they didn't really want to let her use theirs, so she walked.

While she was walking up a hill, she thought she heard her name. She turned around and saw Sora sitting in his car, parked by the curb.

"Hey pretty lady, need a ride?" He laughed, pulling books that were on the passengers seat to the ground.

"Oh wow, that'd be wonderful!" Kairi said as she opened the door.

As Sora started driving where Kairi would point, he started a conversation, "So, if you ever need a ride, I'll give you my cell phone number. That way you don't have to walk."

"Thanks. I feel king of bad that I'm getting a ride. I always feel like a burden. My aunt can't get me since my moms in the hospital. She's there to keep her company."

Sora took a right, since Kairi pointed, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. It's not your fault," Kairi was silent for a moment, "I think that she might go soon." She looked out the rolled down window, holding her still soaked, white t-shirt out the window to dry it, "She's had cancer since before my dads plane crash."

"I'm so sorry. I don't know what it's like to lose someone you love. My parents left me last year. Retarded, I know. They said I should go live with my uncle and his family. But instead I took the money from my job and got an apartment. I didn't care much when they left," Sora looked over at Kairi who was looking at him with a longing look on her face.

"Why?"

Sora stopped the car by a curb and pulled the side of his pants down. Kairi saw a mark the size of a cigarette burn. Sora kept switching the areas as she saw several different types of marks.

"Oh my god," Kairi said softly, touching Sora's arm, "How in the world did you deal with it?"

"I would leave the house. Go for a walk anywhere but home. My dad was addicted to a drug he called crank. He'd eventually pass out in the bathroom waiting for more. I'd go home and mom would just slap me around yelling at me saying it was my fault that he was addicted. That she never wanted kids. That I was a burden on them. I never understood why they didn't just give me up for adoption," Sora looked at Kairi, and he thought that she might actually cry, "But after they left, I was so glad. Even some of the marks from when I was really young started to go away."

Kairi nodded and then Sora started the car's engine again.

"Oh yeah, a few of us section leaders are getting together tomorrow night at my house. Want to come?" Sora looked over at Kairi who was adjusting her bathing suit top. He observed her body once more.

"Sure. That'd be wonderful! It gives me a reason to get out of the house."

Sora handed her his cell phone, "Put your number in. I can come get you if need be."

"Thanks so much," Kairi said, handing it back after she put the number in, "It's my cell phone. I have it on 24/7 unless I forget to charge it."

Sora nodded as he looped a left, "You live pretty close to me. Why have to been walking all this way? The elementary school is on the other side of town!"

"How do you think I stay so thin? Anorexia? Haven't you ever seen how much I eat? Anyway, I normally run it all. It doesn't take long."

"Well then, I can give you rides. I don't mind. Don't worry about it at all," Sora stopped at the sign then turned once more.

"Right here," Kairi pointed to a small house and Sora stopped the car.

"You only live a street away from me," Sora noticed, looking at the street signs. "That's cool. So tomorrow, if you want to come, I can just walk down to get you."

"Thanks again," as Kairi stepped out of the car her bag fell to the ground and she bent down to get it. Sora watched as he caught a glimpse of her small pink thong. His mouth fell open, then closed again as she stood up and turned around.

"Okay, see ya tomorrow!" She shut the door and then ran up the length of her drive way and into the house.

O – O – O – O

The next day Sora walked down to Kairi's house and knocked on the door. A woman with a robe on and an IV on wheels opened the door.

"Hello, I'm Sora, Kairi's friend. She wanted me to pick her up for a get together at my apartment." The woman slowly walked to the stairs and pressed a button. Soon Kairi walked down the stairs.

She kissed the woman on the cheek and said something to her. As she walked to the door to meet Sora she turned around, "Love you mummy!"

As the two walked to Sora's apartment he noticed Kairi looked happier, "So…"

She looked up and smiled, "My mum is on hospital leave. Yesterday night, after you dropped me off, my aunt picked me up right away and took me to the hospital. They told us when we got there that they had to do an emergency surgery because they thought they could stop the cancer. We didn't want to doubt them, so we agreed. And they ended up boxing it and her cancers gone into remission!"

Sora smiled, "That's wonderful Kai!!"

O - O - O - O

At the party they all sat in a small circle chatting until Tifa spoke, "I'm bored, let's play truth or dare."

All the teens nodded as Tifa started them out, "Okay Rikku, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Okay, is it true you're not a virgin?"

"Yeah...dur," Rikku looked over at Tidus remembering when they went out last year. He told her that he loved her and would never leave her...Until they slept together and he left her. Now Yuna was all over him and Rikku was hurt. "Okay, Sora, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven. But we'll choose who you get to do it with... so," Rikku took off her bandana, "Put this on, and then go into the closet."

Sora sighed and got up, "Fine, but no guys." Sora went into the closet and put the blindfold on. He waited a second, hearing the girls argue about who had to go in. Finally, the door opened and Sora felt someone standing next to him. "Okay, who is it?" He heard a 'shh' and then felt arms on his neck and the girl was kissing his neck and soon his ear.

Sora let a moan escape his lips and he hear the girl giggle. She kept kissing his neck until he heard the door open and the girl left. Then he was told to come out. He removed the blindfold and came out of the closet.

"Ooh, look, Sora's coming out of the closet! And with a hickey," Riku said.

"Oh shut up Riku, truth or dare?"

"Dare."
"Good. I dare you to go into the bathroom and Paine has to give you a blow job." Paine's face lit up and Riku stood, going into the bathroom.

"Coming Paine?" She stood up and the door closed. Sora peeked in the keyhole and gagged.

"They're actually doing it!!" The group all faked gagged when Paine and Riku came out. "Okay, let's watch a movie now...so this doesn't get too far..."

The group scattered on the couch and floor, except Riku and Paine still making out. Kairi sat next to Sora on the ground next to the couch. She leaned her back on his arm and laid her head on his shoulder.

Near the middle of the movie Sora leaned over to Kairi's ear, "Can I kiss you?"

"No." Sora turned back to the movie and felt horrible about himself, thinking that he could ever get Kairi to like him. Then he felt Kairi kiss his cheek, "Never need ask."

Sora smiled to himself and wrapped his arm around Kairi's shoulder as Kairi smiled to herself also. She laid her head on his shoulder once more as the movie came to the climax when John get's caught in the gym. She felt sleepy and closed her eyes thinking she'd open them in a minute.

O - O - O - O

After everyone else left Sora looked over at Kairi who was sleeping, now placed on the couch. He sighed and looked at how beautiful she looked just sleeping there. He walked over to the couch and sat on the side.

"Kairi..." He said softly. She stirred a little, "Kai?" This time her eyes opened and she stretched out.

"What time is it? Did I really fall asleep?"

Sora nodded, "It's almost 11:30. I'll take you home now." They walked out to his car and he drove her home.

"I really hope that you had a good time. We normally do that on 'free' weekends during the band season," Sora was walking her to the door, thinking about the movie night in three days.

"Thanks for inviting me. You guys really do make me feel really really welcomed into the band and the school. I just hope that people at your school are as nice as the ones in band. I'm afraid that I won't fit in, so, let's pray."

"Trust me, you'll fit in."

"What do you mean?"

"You're just the type of person at our school. You're nice, attractive and outgoing. Plus, you've got the right friends. Trust me. You'll have a lot of girls trying to be your friend to learn about me...Riku says it tends to get annoying when his 'dream girl' comes all over me..."

Kairi giggled, "Okay. Well, thanks. A lot. I'll see ya Monday," Kairi kissed Sora's cheek and then walked into her house, closing the door. She looked out the peephole and saw Sora jumping in the air then did a back flip. She giggled about how flexible he was and excited at that. She walked up to bed, still excited about everything that happened tonight. And all that could happen in the future.

So I hope you all enjoyed it. Please review me. I would appericate any kind of critisim also.

Thanks,
Lex
