Chapter Two: You're such a Pain

Kairi let out a long yawn. She was trying her best to fight the urge to sleep as Sora was talking to her about different types of cake batter. He had been talking about food ever since Roxas arrived. After the 'little' confrontation with the blonde boy Sora complained he was hungry, and now he was talking about food non-stop.

"Kairi are you listening to me?" Sora asked staring at her.

"Huh? Oh I mean yeah," Kairi lied leaning against the wall.

Sora raised his left eyebrow in suspicion. "Then what was the last thing I said to you?" he asked.

Kairi looked around wondering what to say. "Cake batter can be made into cakes?" Kairi guessed chuckling nervously.

"Wow, you were listening! You're a good at multi-tasking!"

Kairi laughed before letting out another yawn.

"You're tired, huh?" Sora asked in almost a sad tone. Kairi nodded rubbing her purple-blue eyes tiredly. "I don't know what the rooming situation is. I guess we just pick a room," he suggested trying to help out his new friend.

Kairi lifted her bag from the floor and slung it on her shoulder. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, good night," she said before turning and leaving what would soon be called the living room. She walked up the stairs slowly. They were rickety and squeaked at every step she took. She felt if she stepped too hard she would fall through.

She hadn't exactly explored the second floor, no one had. She stopped at the top of the stairs and looked at all the rooms. They were all hidden by white painted doors. To make it worse the paint was chipping off, like it was everywhere else in the mansion. She sighed and looked at the stairs that led to the third floor.

"I'll sleep up there," she muttered to herself once again dragging herself up another set of squeaky, rickety stairs. The hallway was arranged the same, except the doors looked even older. She sighed again and walked down the hallway opening all the doors and inspecting the rooms. She didn't favor any of them.

Kairi finally decided on the far-left room at the end of the hall. She liked it the best because it was at the end of the hall and it wasn't facing the sun. The room was already dark. There was no view of the sunset. She sighed and placed her bag on the floor. She unzipped the surface and pulled out her sleeping bag and laid down on it.


Downstairs on the second floor Naminé was inspecting all of the rooms. She had on white gloves and she was running her index finger across the wall. She frowned as she saw her finger covered by black dust. She let out a scream and threw the glove on the floor. "It's so disgusting in this house!" she shouted unaware of Tidus laughing at her in her doorway.

Naminé spun around on her heels glaring at the laughing blonde boy. "Get out!" she shrieked picking up the glove and throwing it at his face. Tidus quickly ran out of the doorway. He knew if he lingered any longer she would attack him more fiercely. Naminé slammed the door creating a vibrating sound throughout the entire house.

Riku ripped off his headphones and stormed towards Naminé's room kicking open the door. If he were an anime character his eyes would've had flames inside the pupils. He was furious! No one disturbed his quiet time, no one. Naminé returned his glare. The two stood there in silence just glaring at each other. Invisible sparks were flying.

Olette had just arrived on the floor. She saw the sparks flying between Riku and Naminé. She gasped running up to the third floor in fear one of them might kill her. Sora watched her run up the next flight of stairs; he shrugged walking past Riku and Naminé while whistling a song he had made up about cherry soda.

Oh, cherry soda

You taste so good

But you are so bad

For my system

Ch-Ch-Cherry

Cherry Soda

"Do you have to scream so loud about everything you see that is filthy?" Riku asked through gritted teeth.

Naminé growled. "I can't help if I want everything to be clean," she replied crossing her arms.

"This is a one hundred year old house! That hasn't had inhabitants till now! Did you expect it to be spic and span?" Riku shouted angrily. Naminé huffed slamming the door on Riku's face. She heard Riku yell in anger. Riku stomped away and went into his room slamming the door behind him.

Sora still stood in the hallway confused. "What happened?" he asked no one in particular. He looked around and saw he was the only one standing in the hallway. He laughed nervously randomly picking a room and running into it.

A minute later

Roxas threw Sora out of the room. "Don't run into my room!" Roxas cried slamming the door. Sora was on the ground staring up at the ceiling. He sighed rubbing his growling stomach. He was so hungry the pain from being thrown didn't affect him. Sora pouted as he regained his stance.

"Roxas didn't have to throw me," he muttered. The door opened and Sora's bag hit his face making him fall back on the floor. "Hey!" he grumbled throwing his bag at his side and rubbing his face. "That hurt," he groaned. Sora sighed again picking up his bag and walking upstairs to find a room up there. It seemed safer.

Olette's room was the first one on the right. She liked it to face the sun. It also offered her security since it was so close to the stairs. She left her door open and Sora peered into it. He saw her sitting on her orange sleeping bag eating some potato chips. Sora's mouth opened and drool slid down his face.

"Olette."

Olette looked and saw Sora gawking in her doorway. She smiled and motioned for him to come in. "Hello Sora, what did you want?" she asked when he was seated on the floor in front of her.

Sora rubbed the back of his neck not knowing how to tell her he wanted some of her food. He didn't want to be a bother. "Could I-."

"Did you want some?" Olette asked offering the bag. Sora nodded sticking his hand inside and pulling out some. He grinned eating the chips. Olette laughed loudly as she watched Sora throw the chips in the air and try to catch them with his mouth. He missed each one.

"Shut up!"

Olette and Sora flinched hearing Riku from downstairs. They laughed more quietly in fear Riku might actually come upstairs and murder them with his headphone wires. The image of Riku strangling him with the headphone connector scared him. Sora stood up and grabbed his bag. "I guess I should go find a room of my own, we have a big day tomorrow. You know, registering for school and going shopping with no money…well bye!" he exclaimed. Sora left Olette's room and began his lonely walk down the dark hallway.

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant...
Am I so insignificant...
Isn't something missing
Isn't someone missing me

Sora saw Kairi sitting on her sleeping bag singing quietly. He couldn't see if she was crying, but it sounded like it. 'Why would she sing such a depressing song? I bet I was right she is depressed.'

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

"Kairi?" he called poking his head into her room. Kairi's singing abruptly stopped. She looked up and saw the outline of Sora in her doorway. She cleared her throat and wiped the few tears that were on her face.

"Umm what?" she asked trying to sound composed.

Sora chuckled, "Okay, deny it if you want, but I will find out." Kairi froze. "See you in the morning Kai-Kai!" he exclaimed happily.

Kairi turned red. "It's Kairi, not Kai-Kai!" Kairi shouted. If she had something to throw at him she would have. In the midst of her anger she hadn't noticed Sora had gone across the hallway and claimed that room as his. He closed the door snapping her out of her angry daze.

She sighed and fell back on her sleeping bag grumbling. "Good night," she mumbled to herself.

The morning came quicker than anyone had expected. Kairi lay curled in a ball on her sleeping bag. Her room was dark, but not pitch black. Sunlight was eagerly trying to spill into her room. The walls were painted white and the floor was made of gray wood and covered in dust. The window was dirty and could hardly be seen out of.

Knock, Knock

Kairi moaned uncurling herself and rolling over. She saw Olette slowly opening her door. "Good morning, Olette," Kairi said through a yawn. Olette smiled and walked into Kairi's room closing the door behind her. Kairi sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Good morning, Kairi. I was wondering if you wanted to be first in the bathroom," Olette explained, "It is closest to your room, and Sora isn't up yet." Kairi shook her head still halfway asleep.

"No, that's okay I have something to take care of, you go in the bathroom first Olette," Kairi replied standing up. Olette nodded and quickly exited Kairi's room. Kairi smirked. She peeked out of her door and saw Olette close the door to the bathroom. She heard it lock.

Kairi tiptoed over across the hall to Sora's room. 'I'll get you for calling me Kai-Kai last night, you lazy bum,' Kairi thought as she quietly slipped into his room. She spotted him laying on the hard wooden floor rolling around in his sleep. She covered her mouth to try and stop herself from laughing.

She bent down next to his spiky brown head. 'I guess his spikes are natural.' She got close to his ear and shouted, "Fire!" as loud as she could. Sora jumped up not even noticing Kairi next to him. He yelled running around his room like a madman looking around for the red flames. He looked at his clothing and acted like he was on fire and ended up slamming face-first into the wall.

Kairi winced running over to see if he was all right. "Sora, are you okay?" Kairi asked watching the brunette rub his head.

"Where's the fire?" he asked. Sora sounded like he was still asleep.

Kairi laughed and shook her head. She held out her hand to help him up. "There was no fire, I lied," she giggled. Sora frowned as he was pulled off of the ground.

"That wasn't very nice, Kai-Kai," Sora whined as he stared at her with his cerulean eyes. Kairi growled glaring at Sora. "Wow! Kai-Kai, you look really bad in the mornings, your hair is a mess! And look at your face there's drool around your mouth!" Sora exclaimed pointing to the dried up drool. Kairi slapped his hand away.

She blushed in embarrassment. "Sora! You're so rude!" she shouted running out of Sora's room and into her own. Sora scratched his head.

"What did I say?"


Riku was already up and cleaned. Of course, there wasn't much he could do without running water. He looked out his window seeing two people standing outside in front of the house. He started to listen to their conversation.

"I heard this place was haunted," the girl with periwinkle hair said. She was wearing a plaid blue skirt and a short-sleeve white button-up shirt and a blue tie. Obviously a school uniform, Riku didn't fancy this outfit.

"Yeah," the boy next to her mumbled. He was obviously scared. He had dark brown hair and dark tan skin. He was wearing the boy version of the uniform; the only difference was his dark blue slacks.

"Go inside."

"What!"

The girl eyed him obviously amused. "Go. Inside."

"You better not touch that doorknob!" Riku shouted not letting himself be seen. He was going to enjoy teasing these kids. He heard the boy scream. Riku snickered. "Get out of here pranksters!"

The boy screamed again grabbing the girl who was looking around for the source of the strange voice. "OUT!" Riku cried. The two ran down the pathway leaving the house. Riku snickered grabbing his CD player and walking out of his room only to see Naminé walk out of the bathroom.

He glared at her and she returned the favor. "Good morning, dirt bag," Naminé greeted. Riku narrowed his eyes wanting to strike her across the face, but he knew better. Then again since when does he listen to 'the rules'? He raised his hand to strike her, but lowered it. He couldn't do it. She was still a girl after all.

"Whatever," Riku muttered quickly walking away from her before he became a slave to his anger. Naminé crossed her arms and shook her head. She really didn't like Riku. Roxas skated by on his skateboard knocking her off her feet and onto the dusty, dirty floor.

"Hey!" Naminé shouted angrily.

"Oh sorry, next time don't get in my way," Roxas advised her jumping up on the railing and skating down the stairs. Naminé growled about to leap from the ground and tackle Roxas, but Tidus lifted her off of the ground.

Naminé dusted herself off. "I better not find a piece of lint on my clothes or else I'm going to claw his eyes out," she growled. "Thanks Tidus, maybe you're not a bad dirt attracter after all." Tidus laughed nervously wondering what she meant by that.

"Umm, thanks?" he said unsure of what the correct response was.
