Oh my! You have no idea how tired I've been the last few day, stupid 5 hour energy. DOESN'T WORK!
Anyways! I LIKE THE REVIEWS! KEEP THEM COMING

I'd like to point out though, I'll have grammar issues because I'm a sophomore in high school, but your reviews pointing out what I do wrong helps me!


Riku sat on the seat of the toilet, that was fuzzy due to Kairis' expertise. She held a towel over her arms and placed it over his shoulders that had a simple white, dress shirt that was tieless. After, she buttoned up a tarp over him to allow the hair to flow down smoothly. "Not too tight?" She asked while standing behind him.

He nodded. "It's fine."

Smiling, she took out a pair of scissors that were resting on the counter of the bathroom. "I'll cut only a little off and you can tell me if you want more off, sound good?" Riku nodded again. "Alright," she began snipping the longest layer of hair, that was at about mid-back.

Riku looked at Kairi through the mirror. His emerald eyes following her movements. "How much is off right now?"

"Only a little," she replied.

"How much do you want to take off?"

"How much are you comfortable with me taking off?"

He gulped. "However much you want that will make it look good."

Her twilight eyes widened with surprise over his comment. "Y-You're serious? Or are you deceiving me?"

He sighed. "Not at all, you know what women like."

Kairi chuckled. "Indeed I do," she smiled and took a little more off. While she was taking off his hair, the two were silent until Kairi broke it. "Where are you going?"

"To work."

"To work?" She repeated. "You work now?"

Riku smirked and looked at her through the mirror, furrowing his forehead. "Why would you like to know? Going to visit me?"

"Well, I'm just curious. That's all," she snipped a shorter layer of hair, allowing for more layers.

"I work at a club-"

"A club!" Kairi cut him off.

Continuing from where he left off. "I'm a bartender," she slightly giggled, coving her mouth to now seem rude. "Hey, it pays well; and it's a high class place."

Kairi blew over his shoulder, letting the hair that wasn't attached to his head slide to the floor. She gave a soft tug on the tarp until it wasn't on him anymore. Riku stood up from his seat and patted down on his clothing to prevent wrinkles.

She looked at him with confident eyes. "You like it?"

Riku ran his hands through the bottom to the top layer. It felt fresh and alive. He nodded and ran his hands through his hair once again, getting use to the feel. It was now shoulder length, like it was before he left the island for the first time.

"Oh thank goodness," having her hand on her chest, she exhaled out of relief.

Riku stood in front of the mirror and put a black vest over his dress shirt. He looked pretty elegant. His hair that had a soft spike in it. She smiled at him from behind, allowing him to walk past her.

"I'll be off then," Riku said in a manly tone, like they were married.

"Have fun!"

Sora sat on the couch, right at the edge so he could watch the two walk out. Riku looked different, but for the better. His blue eyes followed their every movement. Her soft smile to him and his soft smile to her. He clenched his fist but held it in his lap, exhaling deeply letting him release the tension in his arm. Nonetheless, Riku left and Kairi came walking towards him, sitting next to him on the couch.

"Didn't you say you had to go somewhere?" Kairi asked remembering what he told her earlier.

"Not for a while," he responded.

"Well… If we pulled down the curtains.." she began mumbling to herself, Sora looked over at her with a puzzled look. "Yeah! That will work," she smiled and pushed herself off the couch.

'That movie again,' she began thinking. 'the one Namine saw, do I still have it?' She walked in her room, digging through her drawers. 'Ah! Here!' She walked out of her room and tossed it at Sora. "Here! Namine said it was scary."

"Pfft, I heard different," he got up and walked to the pantry and grabbed some popcorn out, he knew how much she loved popcorn and now he had to try hard to impress.

Kairi was in the other room, pulling the curtains down, blocking the sunlight from passing; and quickly the room was now dark as night. "Well, scary or not. Ghosts are freaky!" Trying to redeem herself.

"Paranormal activity? Scary?" Sora let out a confident laugh.

"Good! I'l be able to cling to you without worry!"

Sora swallowed his spit, nervous with what she just said."I-I'm just a man."

The two sat. Kairi sat wit her legs up like a pretzel with the bowl of popcorn sitting in the middle of it. Every night scene that came up, Kairi would wrap her arms around his left one and squeeze tightly, pulling her face towards him. He just sat there, trying not to show that he was more scared than her actually.

The couple in the movie went to bed and time began to elapse but the moment it would slow to original pace, she knew something was going to happen. Then suddenly, the female actress got pulled out of bed. Kairi let out a high pitch scream. Within moments their door slammed open. Not alone this time, her and Sora let out a scream. The two got up, Kairi mocking Sora's movements, ghosting him. Sora had a look of terror, especially without a weapon. He quickly grabbed the remote controller and held it like he would a keyblade.

Axel stood in the doorway with a bat in his hand, looking around frantically. "What happened! Someone in here? Why were you guys screaming!"

Kairi peaked her head over Sora's toned body. Giving an embarrassed look. Sora just stood and stared at Axel who looked back. "We're watching a movie.."

There was a silence. "Oh.." Axel finally said and turned around. "I'll be on my way then..."

The door shut and Kairi let out a loud laugh, clinging to Sora so she wouldn't fall down. "Oh my god, t-that was the funniest-" she paused to regain her breath from laughing, but quickly started up again.

Sora just stood there, slightly sweating in his feet. He turned around to head back to where they were, not saying a word. The movie wouldn't be any more scarier than that. His heart was still pounding. Kairi followed him, still snickering over what happened.

..

Right at the end of the movie. She barely watched, her head was buried in Sora's arm, cutting of his circulation with her tight grip. Sora sat there, tensing up his muscles to not jump, just the same, he jumped. Kairi chuckled.

"Hey, it was startling. NOT scary," Sora said.

Kairi just shrugged. "Whatever you say! Don't you have to go somewhere?"

"Oh right.." It was about ten p.m. "I'll be back in a bit."

"I have not clue what you'll be doing at this late an hour."

Sora ruffled her hair like a child. "You still owe me a haircut," changing the subject.

"You're just jealous, Riku got one and not you, riiight?"

Sora looked away, trying to hide his reddening face. "No, I thought I'd just need one," and he quickly reached for the door and left so she couldn't see.


Knock, no response. A louder knock this time. Still nothing. Sora sighed and walked outside once again. He leaned over and picked up some rock and threw them at the window adjacent to the living room. Kairi walked over to the window, slightly dazed. She slid the curtain and looked down.

"Sora?" She looked down at him but realized the window wasn't open, so she unhooked the lock and pushed it open. "Sora? Why aren't you inside?"

"Why didn't you answer!"

"I fell asleep."

"I knocked on the door, how come you didn't wake up to that but you woke up to this?"

She gave him an unsatisfied look. "I'll let you in-"

"No wait, Kai! Come out here, It's beautiful!"

Her eyes that were the same shade as outside, looked up and sighed. "I'll be right out," on her way to the door, she grabbed a blanket and pulled it over herself and slipped on her sandals and her keys that were hanging near the door.

They walked outside towards the beach. The sky was clear with minimal clouds in the sky. The ocean reflected the sky like mirror. It was confusing to know which was real, except for the waves the ocean made. There was Two moon that were crescent shaped, the sky and ocean; it was swimming with the stars.

"You're right, It's beautiful out."

Sora nodded. "I always come out here on nights like this," she looked over at him, interested.

"Why?" She asked.

"It's just relaxing."

"I can see why, the ocean looks a lot better at night," she put her opinion out.

"I like the sunrise and sunset."

"You do? Why's that?"

"It makes everything more beautiful. The warmth color, I get jealous of it actually, I wish people wouldn't look at it so I'd feel special," he was actually talking about Kairi.

Kairi rolled up her legs, pulling them close and hugging them; resting her chin on it. "I miss our childhood, ya know."

"Why do you think that?"

"We're all growing up, you're a life guard, Riku's a bartender, and me? Namine got me a job at the restaurant."

"You did? That's great news!" But he sounded more happy about it than her.

"But- when will we have time to just, hang out?"

"We'll see each other everyday."

"But I miss our childhood adventures-" within saying that, Sora picked her up bridal style and began walking towards the ocean. "What-" he walked closer and closer to the water, his toes sitting in the wet sand. "If you drop me-" he was now ankle deep. "Don't do it!" As soon as the water got deep enough, which was about knee deep, he tosses Kairi into the water.

Kairi swam up from the salt water with a unpleased face. Sora smiled. "Hey, you missed what we did when we were little," she gave him a fake laugh but it faded to a real one.

"I'm getting out, it's cold out here," she wrapped the wet blanket around her body.

Sora shrugged and waited for her watch up before starting to walk. She took his clothing and tugged him into the water. Sora laughed as he just sat in the shallow water, but quickly got up. As they walked, Kairi began getting paranoid. "D-Did you see that?"

A small shadow quickly running in front of her. "See what?" Sora asked.

"T-That!" She pointed her finger shakily.

But there was nothing. "I think that movie got you thinking."

"Maybe your-" the black creature ran over her sensitive skin. "-Holy shit! IT TOUCHED ME!"

Sora looked around seeing nothing. "Your loosing it.."

"I'm not... It's right there!" She pointed to the creature that sat in front of them.

Sora walked over to it cautiously then back at Kairi. "You're kidding me, It's a kitten."

"A KITTEN!" Kairi quickly went over and pushed Sora out of the way and picked up the lone kitten, forgetting about her fear. "Why hello there, would you like to come home with me?"

"I don't know.. Riku's not one for cats-"

"Screw what he thinks, you don't mind them?"

"No-"

"Then it's two against one!" Before leaving the beach, she took the went blanket that stuck to her and put a pound of sand and began carrying it back. "Cat's use sand, right?"

Sora sighed. "Good thing you're cute," referring to Kairi but she thought he was talking about the cat.

"Hopefully Riku's in for it!"

"I'm sure he will," he muttered angrily.

"What should we name this little guy?"

"Is it a guy?"

"Hmmm.." She lifted up the kitten over her head. "It's a girl."

Sora laughed at her. "Zala? I think that's cute." (My friends puppy's name ~)

"I like it," repeating him. "Zala, It sounds like a cat name!"

Sora walked over to her, petting the black and orange kitten on the head. Kairi smiled at him, then the kitten and spoke. "Welcome to our family!"

Sora and her walked closely to each other, each excited about the kitten.

"Thank you for bringing me out here," she smiled at him softly, like she did with Riku.

"I'm glad you enjoyed this.." His sky eyes glow through the night but he looked away from nervousness.

"I always enjoy time with you, Sora!"

He reddened, but the darkness covered it up.

..

Upon returning, Riku was already back and relaxing in his room. Kairi smiled and held the kitten before passing it to Sora. "I need to get this little thing fed and make a bed and get a little kitty litter thing for her!"

He held the kitten tenderly and compassionately. Kairi looked through the fridge to grab some meat to give to the possibly starving kitten, once she found some ham she wiggled it in front of Zala, watching her bat at it. In her room, there was now a bucket with the sea sand in it for Zala to go to the bathroom, along with a bowl of water next to it.

"Goodnight, Sora!"

"Goodnight, Kairi… and Zala."

Sora walked into his room, which instantly woke up Riku whose eyes glowed like his, but his seemed evil. "You guys went out?"

"To the beach," Sora ran his hands through his hair to get sand out of it.

"She only thinks of you as a friend," he said trying to deflate Sora's ego.

"I wasn't trying to, also we-"

"You're not in her league anyways,"

Sora just rolled his eyes and continued. "We found a kitten."

"And?"

"Kairi wants to keep it-"

"Then we're keeping it. Anything to make Kairi happy."

Sora looked down, trying to control his anger. Riku always knew how to tick him off. "She didn't think you'd want it.."

"Well, I'll surprise her with how willing I am, she'll love me even more."

Sora removed his shirt and pants and crawled into bed with a troublesome look, he couldn't let Riku win.
