Chapter 3: The Club and The Kiss
"We better go get changed to go out." Rikku said.
"Kairi, everyone is gonna meet at my house and then we'll come to your house. What's your address?" Namine said.
"384 Isle Drive." Kairi said.
"Kay. We'll meet you at 8ish." Yuna said.
"Sure." Kairi said. She ran all the way to her house and once she got through the door she leaned against it and took a deep breath. She couldn't believe how great her day went. But then she realized, it was gonna get better if she could go to the club.
"Thanks for ditching me at dinner!" Selphie yelled as she pushed Kairi back against the door and ran upstairs. It wasn't Selphie's house but that's the way Selphie acted.
"What's going on in here!" Kairi's dad yelled as he walked into the room. "Kairi. How was your day sweetie?" he asked.
"It was great but I was wondering. My group, we were gonna go to the dance club and hang out. Can I go? Daddy please." Kairi said.
"Be back by midnight." He said.
"Thank you so much. I gotta go get changed." Kairi said. She ran up the stairs two at a time and ran to her room. When she got there she saw Selphie sitting on her bed crying.
"What's wrong?" Kairi asked.
"Like you don't know." Selphie said crying.
"Selphie you have understand that I am going to be hanging out with my new friends. Look, I'm sorry I missed dinner tonight." Kairi said. "You wanna help me pick my outfit for the club?"
"Really? I can help you?" Selphie asked sniffling.
"Duh!" Kairi said. She hugged Selphie and they went over to her closet.
"Here, try this." Selphie said handing Kairi clothes. Kairi put the clothes on and Selphie exclaimed,
"I love it!"
"OMG! It's perfect for tonight!" Kairi said hugging Selphie again.
"Ok, ok. You need to get downstairs to meet your friends." Selphie said smiling. Kairi ran down the stairs almost tripping and decided not to run anymore.
"Oh, wait. Selphie can you grab my silver crown necklace please?" Kairi yelled up the stairs. Selphie came running down with the necklace and helped Kairi put it on.
"Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow. I promise I'll come home for dinner with you." Kairi said. Outside the group was walking up her street and Sora's mouth dropped,
"That's her house!" he exclaimed.
"Wow, the new girl's living large!" Rikku said. They walked up her driveway. Sora thought everybody was with him but then realized it was only him. He rolled his eyes back at the group. He went and rang the doorbell. Kairi's dad opened the door and said,
"Ah, you must be one of Kairi's friends." He started walking around Sora inspecting him.
"Dad, you can leave now." Kairi said through her teeth. She didn't want her dad to scare away her friends. Her dad left and Sora said,
"Wow, you look nice." She was wearing a baby blue, tube top mini dress, dark wash jeans, baby blue heels to match the shirt, her hair in a high ponytail, and of course, her crown necklace. She never went anywhere without that necklace. Kairi blushed a little and hoped Sora wouldn't notice. They walked to the group and Namine said,
"Very nice, very nice" and gave a little clap. They started walking to the club. They could hear the beat of music blocks away.
"This is gonna be soooo much fun! One more person to the group." Rikku said. They walked up to the club and the bouncer put his arms in front of the door.
"Excuse me, but do you have passes or anything?" he said.
"You don't remember me? It's RG! Well, RG and her group anyway. Can we please go in? C'mon Big Ray. You know me." Rikku said. Rikku always had all the hottest hook-ups.
"Oh, RG." He said tilting his glasses down for a better view. "Sorry, didn't recognize you with my new glasses on. Enjoy your night." He said.
"Thank you. C'mon guys." She said. Riku had always liked that Rikku took charge of situations. They walked inside and saw people dancing everywhere.
"Wow. This is awesome!" Kairi said happily.
"We're gonna go dance. You boys can go find a table." Yuna said. The girls made their way to the dance floor and danced like there was no tomorrow.
"Admit it." Riku said smirking at Sora.
"Admit what?" Sora asked.
"Admit you like Kairi. Man, it is so obvious. You should've seen your face when you saw her."
"If I admit I like Kairi, you admit you like RG."
"Ok, ok I like Rikku but what about you and Kairi?"
"She's nice."
"Nice? Please, you think she's more than nice. You like her."
"Ok, yeah, I like K-"
"Hey. Wow, I didn't know I could even dance like that." Kairi said. Riku looked to Sora until Sora looked back at him. Once he did, Riku looked to Kairi then tilted his head to the dance floor as if to say "Ask her to dance." Sora got the message and said,
"Hey, um, Kairi? You wanna dance?"
"Sure." She said. So they went out to the floor and started dancing. Then a random guy came up to Kairi and started dancing with her completely shutting Sora out of the picture. Kairi saw Sora walking back to the table. He sat down and said to Riku,
"You happy now? I made a complete fool of myself in front of her."
"Dude, relax." Riku replied.
"Whatever. I'm gonna go home. I'll see you tomorrow." Sora said sadly.
"I'm sorry but I was dancing with him." Kairi said.
"That little boy? Please honey, a chick as hot as you deserves much better." The guy said and grabbed her waist. She started walking back to the table and the guy followed her.
"Listen baby, let's get back out there and dance. I know you want me." He said.
"Get off of me, you pervert!" Kairi yelled and threw her soda on him.
"Yo, little miss, that's cold." He said shaking his head as he walked away.
"Oh my god. What happened?" Rikku asked.
"Where's Sora?" Kairi asked Riku.
"He left."
"Which way did he go?"
"He went through those doors and turned right." She ran the way Riku told her and saw Sora walking up ahead. She ran to catch up with him.
"Sora."
"Have fun with your new boyfriend?"
"What?"
"Please, tell me you didn't have fun dancing with that guy."
"Sora, that guy was a total pervert! Why would you say I liked that?"
"Well, I didn't see you walking away."
"Well, when you have a big guy come up, grab your waist, and start rubbing up on you, it's kinda hard to walk away."
"What! That guy is dead!" Sora yelled as he started running back to the club.
"No! Sora wait!" Kairi yelled. He didn't hear her though. He was too focused on beating that guy up. He ran to the group.
"Did you guys see the guy who was all up on Kairi?" he said.
"Yeah he's over there with that girl who looks like a slut." Yuna said. "Why?" Sora started walking up to the guy.
"Oh no." Rikku said. Riku ran up to him and said,
"Sora, man, wait. Just think for a minute." Sora pushed past him, and Riku realized the only reason Sora was doing this was to protect Kairi and backed off. He told the others to stop also. Then Kairi ran in right after the group.
"Where's Sora?" she asked.
"He's about to beat that guy up." Roxas said.
"Riku stop him! You're the only one who can get trough to him!" Kairi yelled scared.
"No."
"What!"
"No. He's doing this to protect you." Riku said. Kairi started to run to Sora but Rikku grabbed her.
"What are you doing?" Kairi asked frantically.
"He needs to do this." She replied. Sora went up and tapped the guy on the shoulder and said,
"What the hell is your problem!"
"Aw, man you again. Just get out of here." Sora pushed the guy and the guy almost fell. The guy pushed him back.
"You wanna take this outside?" Sora said.
"With pleasure. It won't take long anyway." They walked past
the group and Kairi tried to say something, but Namine put her hand over Kairi's mouth. Then they followed the two boys outside. The guy cracked his knuckles to try and scare Sora but he didn't even flinch. The guy ran up and tried to punch Sora but he ducked and swung his leg out and tripped the guy. The guy looked up and saw Kairi. He knew she was the reason this was happening.
"You!" he shouted as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the area that Sora and he were fighting. He punched and kicked Sora, and Sora fell to the ground.
"Is he your friend? Did he come out here to defend you?" the guy yelled at Kairi. She turned her head away and he pulled it back so she was looking at Sora. He was lying on the ground clutching his stomach. There was a cut right above his eyebrow. She wanted to cry.
"Well? Is he!" the guy yelled.
"Yes." Kairi said on the verge of crying. He slapped her and threw her to the ground.
"Kairi!" Yuna, Rikku, and Namine yelled at once. They started to run to Kairi and the guy yelled,
"Stop! Don't any of you move!" they stopped at the sound of his voice. Sora saw this and his eyes narrowed as he started to get up.
"Ready for more?" The guy said. Sora ran over to the guy and went crazy. He punched him and kicked him until the guy fell to the ground. The guy got up and went to punch Sora when Big Ray came over and grabbed the guy's fist.
"Ok, Ok! That's enough!" he shouted.
"You got lucky this time!" the guy said as he put his arm around the girl who Yuna referred to as a slut and they walked away together. Sora noticed that the guy was limping. The group ran over to Kairi and Namine shouted,
"Kairi! Are you ok? Kairi?" Her eyes slowly opened and then they jerked wide open. She sprung up and yelled,
"Where's Sora! Is he alright!" They helped her up and she saw Sora. She ran up and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you." She whispered in his ear. He hugged her back and they stood there hugging each other for seemed like hours. Kairi felt a shiver down her spine and finally pulled back. Sora noticed she was cold and gave her his jacket.
"Thanks. Are you alright? I feel really, really bad about all of this. I never wanted you to get hurt." Kairi said wanting to cry again. She didn't know whether the tears would be of joy or sadness.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about it. I'll heal." He said.
"C'mon. My parents won't be home till' four. You guys can wash up at my place." Yuna said. So they started their walk to Yuna's house. Kairi noticed that Sora was limping and tapped Riku on the shoulder. He looked back and saw Sora. So Riku and Roxas went and helped Sora walk. Kairi couldn't look at him. He was cut and bruised, and it was because of her.
They went to Yuna's house and they took their showers. Kairi finished hers first and went to the side room and started crying. She felt so guilty. When Sora finished his shower he came out of the bathroom and heard someone crying. He followed the sound until he found Kairi.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Sora asked.
"No, I'm not hurt."
"Well then what's wrong?"
"I feel so guilty about you getting hurt. If I could go back in time, the second that guy started dancing with me I would push him away. That way none of this would be happening." She said crying harder.
"Kairi, I don't blame you for any of this. That guy never should have come up. So I got cut and bruised. It'll heal. Please don't cry."
"I can't help it. The whole thing keeps running through my mind. Him grabbing me in the circle you were fighting in, him punching you and kicking you, him throwing me to the ground. Sora, I can't help but cry." She said looking down. He lifted her chin.
"Hey. I'm gonna be ok."
"You keep saying that but I still feel like a horrible person." She was starting to stop her crying, but then it started up again. He leaned in and kissed her quickly on the lips. It was nothing huge, just a peck. Once they both realized what happened, their eyes widened.
"I'm sorry." Sora said straightening up.
"No. It's ok." She said. Then Yuna walked into the room and saw them, and quickly stepped back outside the door. She ran back to the group and told them what she saw.
"OMG! They were sitting all close to each other. Oh, I think they might have kissed. But don't say anything!" Yuna said quickly hearing Sora and Kairi coming down the hall. He was still limping but not as bad as he was earlier.
"Yo, Sora? You need help?" Riku asked.
"Please don't say yo. After hearing that guy at the club say yo, I never want to hear it again." Kairi said.
"Ok, sorry." Riku said.
"No thanks guys, I'm good." Sora said.
"I'll call Martin. He'll bring the car around. I don't want either of you walking home." Yuna said to Sora and Kairi. Rikku and Namine high-fived each other because they weren't going to have to walk home. "I saw that you know" Yuna said smirking. So Martin came with the car and they all got in. They dropped Kairi off first.
"Thanks for the ride, Yuna. Thanks everybody for today. I think it was the best way of coming on to the island." Kairi said.
"So will you be coming to Destiny High tomorrow?" Sora asked.
"Like I said, you'll just have to find out tomorrow won't you?" Kairi said smiling back at Sora. "Bye!" Kairi yelled as she got out of the car and walked to her door. She was about to run up the stairs when she saw a light turn on in the living room.
"No hello?" her dad asked.
"Oh, sorry. I thought everybody would be a sleep." She replied.
"Whose jacket is that?"
"Oh." Kairi said remembering she still had Sora's jacket on.
"Hey wait. The boy who came to the front door was wearing that jacket. What happened!" her dad yelled.
"Nothing. I got cold and he let me borrow it. I forgot to give it back to him. I'll give it to him at school tomorrow."
"He's going to Destiny High?"
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"Well, no. Just be careful around him. He seems rebel-ish."
"Dad, he's the nicest and sweetest guy I've ever met! You wouldn't understand!"
"Hey, watch that tone! That's the way they always seem at first."
"Sorry, but Sora's different."
"Sora? That's his name?"
"Yes. Whatever, I'm going to bed. 'Night."
"Wait. What happened to your wrist?" Kairi looked down at her wrist and saw a bruise where the guy grabbed her.
"Oh, I hit my wrist on the table at the club. It's nothing." She lied. Kairi hated lying to her parents but she couldn't tell her dad what really happened. He would never let her out of the house again.
"Alright. Good Night." She ran up stairs and ran to her room and locked her door. She didn't want any more interruptions from her dad.
