Kairi's POV
I wake up in Sora's arms the next morning, a little sore *down there* but nothing I can't handle. I take a deep breath and sigh, then open my eyes to see Sora staring lovingly into my face. I reach up to touch his face, stroking his cheek.
"Hey." I say softly. He flashes a brief grin.
"Hey beautiful... you finally awake?" He asks in a joking tone "Hmm.." I think about it playfully. "I guess so... what time is it?" I turn my head to find a clock somewhere.
"Just about 10am" He shrugs "But we stayed up late... so we have the right to sleep in."
"Oh," Is all I can say. "But I guess we have to get up now." I sigh and tilt my head upward to kiss his forehead before trying to get out of under the blankets. He quickly drops his arms to help me and we both sit up, stretching. I quickly swing my legs over the side of the bed, an unnatural cold touching my body. I glance down and realize that I am still naked. With a quick glance at Sora, I realize that he is too. I blush and slide off the bed and onto the floor, opening a random drawer while looking for clean clothes.
"Here, Kairi." Sora says right behind me. I just and glance back, not turning my body. He is holding out a pile of folded clothes for me.
"Thanks." I stand up and peck his cheek before taking the clothes and slipping into the bathroom. I *go* and then step into the small shower to clean up quickly. Once I am clean I step out of the shower and dry off with haste. Then I slip my bra and undies on. Finally, I slip on my small pink dress and skip over to the mirror to put a little makeup on and brush my hair. It only takes a few minutes, so I am quickly back in the bedroom. Sora isn't in here, so he must be up front.
Sora's POV
When Kairi disappears into the small bathroom, I quickly pull on my clothes and pull a brush through my spikes. The shower starts running so I slide out of the bedroom and up front. To my surprise, Donald and Goofy are sleeping on different couches folded out to be beds. The gummy ship has all the blinds pulled down and we aren't flying. I pull up the bottom of one of the blinds and the sunlight strikes my eyes like a million needles. I wince and wait for them to get used to the brightness of the sun. Once they do, I can see were we are. Home.
I look up when Kairi comes up from, looking cleaner and fresher.
"Lets go to the Secret Place." I say to her. Her eyes twinkle.
"Yes, lets." She skips over to me and takes my hand before yanking me out of the Gummy ship. I quickly close the door behind us so that the light doesn't wake Donald or Goofy and let her drag me across the sandy beach. As she slides into the Secret Place, I bend over and scoot in after her. She is still there, holding my hand. Unlike last time....
"Hmm." I huff as I touch the old walls.
"Remember when we got home again? We snuck into our rooms for the night without telling our parents.... at least we did. Riku told them and they let Donald, Goofy and the King stay there the night." Kairi says in my ear, a little loudly.
"Hmm.." I say again. "We should go home and see them.." I sigh and turn to look at her.
Kairi's POV
I smile and nod. "Yes, we really should." She pauses a beat. "We should see my parents first.... I have been away for a shorter time so they aren't ready to give up... then we can go see your parents and let them fuss over us for hours." I laugh at the scene I just painted.
"Hey!" He protests, then sighs. "But you are right..." I smile softly and take his hand.
"Come on, lets go now. Before Donald and Goofy wake up, and before Riku comes with The King." I tighten my grip on his hand for a second, waiting. He just nods, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips. We both run out of the Secret place and race towards my house. The sand spuring out behind us.
Ring-Ring! I press the doorbell and it rings shrilly. I can tell that my mom and dad are already awake, they always got up early. But I knew that they would be making posters and calls, trying to find me. I hear footsteps, heavy ones. Must be a police officer.
"Sora," I mutter under my breath. "Go hide, I will call you when I am ready to show you to them."
"What am I? I science project?" He mutters back, but slinks out of sight and hides behind a bush. "Can I help you?" A male voice asks. I quickly look at him, and his eyes widen at my face.
"Yes, could I talk to my parents please?" I ask in a sugary voice.
"Kairi?" He asks as I scoot past him.
"Mom?! Dad?!" I call, suddenly there is a loud bang as a chair falls onto the kitchen floor and they race out of the kitchen. They both slide to a shocked stop in the living room as I enter. I giggle at their open mouths and brace myself.
"Kairi!" They both shout, mom is sobbing and dad is trembling. I hear a faint snicker from outside an open window and know it is Sora. I laugh and softly pull out of their death grips.
"Ok stop! I am fine!" I say loudly.
"Kairi? Who took you?!? We need to know so we can find him and get him in jail as fast as we can..." My mom babbles.
"Or her." My dad pipes up.
"I went to find Sora." I say in a simple voice. That shuts them up for a second, and they stare at me with shocked eyes.
"But, honey.." My mom says in a nervous voice.
"Sora and Riku got killed on their raft, in that horid storm.." My dad finishes.
"Remember?" My mom asks.
"Really?" I ask with a hint of anger in my tone, they shrink back from it. "SORA!" I whirl and yell his name out of the window and stomp to the door. I fling it open just as he jumps to the top step.
"You called?" He asks sarcasticly. I hear my parent's gasp of shock when they hear his voice.
"Yu-p" My lips pop on the 'P'. I take his hand and tug slightly.
"Come on, you need to prove to my parents that everything I said was REAL and not a fairy tale." My gaze flickers from his face to his hand and he seems to get it.
"Okay, but I am not bringing heartless or nobodies in your house!" He laughs and I can hear my parent's gasp of shock again. Good, they needed to believe it. I walk back towards the living room and my parent's gasp yet again as they take in Sora, alive and well. I realize that the last time they saw Sora was as a little kid.
"Sora?" They both ask, ironicly at the same time.
"Yes?" He asks, polite.
"Oh Sora, just show them the Keyblade so they won't think I am lieing anymore!" I tap his arm and he laughs.
"Fine... here." He holds out his hand and the Keyblade appears in his hand. I look at the charm he was using, and gasp, forgetting my parents.
"You still have it.." I whisper as I take his face in my hands and kiss his lips softly for a second. My parents gasp again, that was getting on my nerves.
"Erm, Sora? Is Riku okay?" My mom asks softly, her eyes flickering from his face to mine.
"SORA!" A loud voice calls from outside, paniced.
"Huck-a-yuck! Sora?" Another loud voice calls in a slightly more relaxed tone.
I giggle. "Donald and Goofy." I explain to my terrified parents. "In here!" I yell out the window as I scoot to the door quickly. When I open it, Donald comes flying through it. I laugh. "Good morning, Donald. Goofy." I close the door and something slams into it, making the frozen police officer and my parents jump again. "Ow!" A male voice complains, I laugh again and open the door to a dizzy Riku and a laughing King Mickey. They both step in and everybody moves to the living room, good thing it was huge.
"Oh my - oh-oh my" My mom stutters and gasps, sitting down while clutching her heart.
"Mom, Riku is fine. SEE?" I ask pointedly. "And these are our friends, Donald, Goofy and King Mickey. SEE?" Again, pointedly.
"Kairi, don't tease your mother." My dad says in a breathless yet stern voice. I laugh.
"Fine, I won't. But now that you know I am okay, and everything I told you was REAL.." I pause to snicker. "I think we should go see Sora's parents... Donald, Goofy, Your magesty, can you meet us as Donald and Goofy's gummy ship later?" I turn to ask them. They nod and I snatch Sora's hand, then Riku's arm and almost drag them out of the living room and out of the house.
