Chapter 2
Sora's house wasn't exactly the fanciest place in sight, but it wasn't a
pig sty either. In fact, for a sixteen year old, it was pretty well put-together. "So, Kairi, what is it?" the optimistic teen asked.
"Huh? Oh. Umm…" Kairi stuttered. Damn it! She thought. I can't remember! Sora cocked his head sideways in confusion.
"I'm pretty sure that you didn't just decide to sleep at my doorstep because you felt like it. What's the news?" he laughed.
"Um…Well…Uh…" Kairi tried desperately to remember the reason exactly. Good thing Sora was a patient guy.
"You're probably just a little tired. Here, let me cook us something to eat. That might jog your memory." He offered.
"Oh, no, Sora, I don't want to cause you any trouble…" Kairi replied. Sora shot her a mock glare.
"So…What your saying is that my cooking is bad?" he responded.
"N-no! Not at all!" the girl tried to explain.
"How can you say just a dreadful thing? Why, I just might cry right now! Saying that my cooking is horrible…You Heartless!" he said as he started fake-crying. Kairi got the joke and started to giggle.
"All right, if you feel so strongly about it, I'll have a bite." She said as she tried to keep a straight face. The conversation was soon interrupted by a sound coming from the stairs. A half-naked Riku, wearing only his boxers, stumbled down the stairs.
"Sooorrraaa…" he yawned, "What's for break-" he was cut short as he saw a blushing Kairi staring right at him.
"God dammit, Riku! I've told you a thousand times to at least wear some pants before you walk your lazy ass down the stairs begging for food! Now put on some clothes!" Sora yelled. Riku decided to have a little fun, however.
"Aww, but I think our little friend likes it, don't you, Kair?" he smirked as he put his hand on her cheek.
"…" The poor girl was at a loss for words. She didn't like Riku that way, but when his shirt was off, he was totally different. Sora wasn't amused.
"Hmph. Done being a bastard?" he replied icily.
"Yeah, yeah. I can tell I'm not loved. Kairi's broken my poor heart again. Oh, woe is me!" he snickered as he waltzed up the stairs. Sora shook his head slowly. How that idiot was his best friend, he'll never know.
