Chapter 4: First Attack

"So where are you taking us for dinner?" Kairi asked as she messed with her hair and laughed as she watched Seth toddle with his shoes, trying to figure out how to put them on.

"Just to this restaurant I know. I've heard it's pretty good." Sora smiled as he leaned against the door frame.

"I thought vampires didn't eat." She said teasingly as she walked over to Seth and put his shoes on and started tying them for him.

Sora just shrugged and smiled. "Doesn't mean I can't take you out."

Once Seth's shoes were on, Kairi lifted him up into her arms. "You're staring again" she laughed.

Sora laughed as he motioned me to walk out of the room first, "Am I?"

"Yes you've been staring at me a lot." She laughed

"That's because your pretty mommy!" Seth cried out

"I'm going to have to agree with the boy on this one." Sora chuckled.

Kairi rolled her eyes at them "can we just go?"

"Wow, this place is amazing." Kairi gushed as she sat down in the chair Sora was holding out for her.

"Glad you like it." He smiled as he pushed her in and pulled out another chair for Seth. "Up you go buddy." he smiled at his son.

Seth's eyes lit up, "I get to sit in the big person seat?"

Sora smiled at nodded at him, "Yep you get to sit in the big person seat."

Seth quickly scrambled onto the seat and smiled one of the biggest smiles Kairi has ever seen. "It's so comfy!" he cheered. Both Sora and Kairi laughed.

When their dinner arrived they softly talked over the sound of Leona Lewis's voice coming through the overhead speakers.

I wake in the morning
Tired of sleeping
Get in the shower
And my make my bed alone
I put on my make up
Talk into the mirror
Ready for a new day, Without you
And I walk steady on my feet
I talk my voice obeys me

"So what have you been up to these past three years?" Sora asked as he picked at a bread stick, knowing that Kairi was probably more willing to answer.

"Well, I went to collage for two years, raised a kid and I've been picking up odd jobs until I can get a recording contract." She answered as she helped Seth with his spaghetti.

I go out at night
Sleep without the lights
And I do all of the things I have to
Keeping you on my mind
But when I think I'll be alright
I am always wrong cause

"So, how was life without remembering me?" Sora asked curiously, watching Seth as Kairi gave his fork back and he gave up trying to twirl it around his fork.

"It was...odd. It always felt as if I was forgetting something, like something was missing. Then when I got pregnant with him," she said inclining her head in Seth's direction, "I knew something was off."

"I remembered daddy." Seth said around a mouthful of spaghetti which made the both of them laugh.

My hands
Don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake it try to break whatever piece I may find
My hands
They only agree to hold
Your hands
And they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go

"Do you still see Namine?" Sora asked polity as Kairi finished her meal and took a sip from her Dr. Pepper.

"Yeah, I see her a lot actually. She was my roommate in collage and she helped me raise Seth the first year or so of his life."

"Auntie Nami is really nice." Seth smiled, his moth covered in sauce. "She comes over this many times a week." he continued holding up ten fingers.

Kairi laughed, "Actually it's more like two are three times a week."

I talk about you now
And I do without crying
I go out with my friends now
I stay home all alone
And I don't see you everywhere
And I can say your name easily
I laugh bit louder
Without you

"What's it like having me back in your life?" Sora questioned, pushing the glass of chocolate milk closer to Seth who was reaching as hard as he could for it.

"It's nice, I feel like an idiot though. I can't believe I forgot about you, I mean I loved so much and you were gone like nothing ever happened. Then you came back and I couldn't tell who you were." she sighed.

"Then the antidote did what it was supposed to do." Sora said not meeting her eyes.

"I hate that antidote." she muttered under her breath.

And I see different shades now
And I, I'm almost never afraid now
But when I think I'll be okay
I am always wrong cause

"Has he drunken any blood yet." Sora whispered, nodding his head toward Seth who was starting to look sleepy.

"What?" Kairi asked confused. She knew her son was half vampire now, but nothing he ever did seemed vampire like.

My hands
Don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake it try to break whatever piece I may find
My hands
They only agree to hold
Your hands
No they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go

Sora looked at her innocently, "I'm just asking if he has or not. I know he doesn't need blood like I do but it's still good if he gets some blood from time to time."

Kairi looked confused, "No he hasn't. Why does he need blood."

Sometimes I wait
I see them reaching out for you
Quietly break
Whatever shields I spent so long building up
I cannot fake
Cause when they cry I'm almost broken... ?...
They miss holding my baby

My hands, My hands

No they don't wanna understand
They just shake it try to break whatever piece I may find

"It will make him stronger, more like me. Right now it would be good because people, or the more accurate term is vampires are after us." Sora explained.

Kairi looked down at the table for a minute, "I guess you're right, when we get home we'll get him some blood." she said as she stood up and pushed her chair in. Sora got up as well as she walked over to him. Then before anything could happen she kissed him dead on the lips.

My hands
Your hands
They don't wanna be with us?
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go

Sora's eyes filled with shock for an instant then he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back.

"WOAH!" Seth cried out in shocked giggles.

Kairi broke the kiss and started laughing as well, "Let's go home." she said as she picked up Seth.

They we're halfway home when Seth finally fell asleep in Kairi's arms. Everything was going well until all of a sudden Sora stopped walking. "Kairi, hold on to Seth tight." he demanded in a hushed growl. She clutched her son tight and half a second later was pushed down to the ground as he jumped the other way. Out of her peripheral view she saw a giant knife like thing go flying past.

"Holy shit, that was a machete!" Kairi cried out holding her son tighter.

Sora looked straight ahead pissed. In an instant there was another vampire in front of them. "Sora, you've been a bad boy." he said walking towards him.

"Like I care." he growled taking a fighting stance.

"Breaking two laws, I guess that's why they sent me to destroy you." he said calmly walking toward him.

"Well it's going to take more than just you to stop me." Sora sneered. Kairi started trembling, she's never seen Sora like this before. In a blink of an eye both vampires were just a blur. A couple minutes later the blur stopped to reveal Sora holding the other vampire by the neck. "Say hello to Riku for me." he growled, eyes glowing red. In that instant Sora dropped the vampire and pushed his nails completely through his neck, decapitating his head from his body.

Kairi watched in horror as a giant puddle of blood covered the side walk. Sora closed his eyes, his whole body shaking. After a couple minutes he opened his eyes again and the trembling stopped. "Let's get Seth home." he offered holding his hand out to her. She took it and they headed home, saying nothing else.
