My Red Hot Teacher
Chapter 8: Old Flames and Victories
It was morning again and Sora couldn't be more tired! He hadn't slept a wink last night and it hadn't been a pleasant one...
Flashback
"But Kairiii...Why can't I stay with you tonight?" Sora ask, sounding whiny.
Kairi held back a giggle, though she did let out a tiny chuckle as she spoke, "Sora, you have to wake up early tomorrow for your trip to Twilight Town and I doubt by the way you where kissing and groping me at the porch, after Roxas left, is any indication that you want only to sleep in my room tonight." Kairi tease, earning a deep blush from the brunet. Her smile soften then and reaching forward, she wrapped her arms around Sora's shoulders and drew his head to her chest in a gentle embrace. "And to be honest, I probably wouldn't let you go either. I would have kept you in my bed all day if I had to." Although her words, made him blush it also confuse him.
"Is it because, of that weird thing over at Twilight Town you told me about?" He asked, glancing up at her with a curious expression.
She continue to smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. Nodding slowly, Kairi bow her head forward and place a chaste kiss on his forehead and as she moved back she whispered, as if she didn't want no one else to hear, "Don't forget, if you have any questions about what you may discover there, only ask me and nobody else."
End of Flashback
He had agree of course unable to deny her anything, especially when she was looking at him with those big, pretty, pleading eyes of hers. Still, he wish she would had let him stay the night in her room again. It had felt strange sleeping in his own room by himself and truthfully he hated it. Sora had felt lonely and cold without Kairi by his side, and because of it he hadn't been able to sleep! He had argue with himself half the night, trying to convince himself not to sneak into Kairi's room and cuddle next to her while she slept. That just sounded weird and almost creepy. Girlfriend or not, when she said no it was no...which he reminded himself when he stood in front of her door, twice!
So groggy, he waited in front of the gate of his house since 6:50 am for his friends to pick him up, with a pack on one shoulder and dark circles under his eyes, at 7:15 he was starting to get irritated. 'Shouldn't they be here already?' He mentally scold. Ten more minutes pass when he was ready to called them and ask why the hell they where taking so long when he saw from the distance a bright orange and beat up van. Once they where close enough, Sora could see Wakka in the driving sit and Tidus in shotgun, the orange hair teen beep his horn at him, making a racket as it was still early and the noise was heard more loudly.
"Yo! Sora! You're early, man!" Wakka grin at him, as he stuck out his head from the window, stopping the van just a few feets away from where he was standing.
"Yeah! Who knew you could be so punctual!" Tidus also commented, sporting a huge grin.
Sora arch a brow at this. "Since when do you know, what punctual means Tidus? Or more importantly, since when do you care?"
Making a dreamy look, while rubbing under his nose with his index finger he answer, "Well, Miss Pureheart taught me, she is a really good teacher you know and she likes things to always be done right and in time. She is really wonderful and cute and-Ouch!"
Rubbing his head, the young blitz player squinted back, to see the other spiky blond holding up a fist-which he use to knock him on the to of his head-and a irritated look on his face.
"Could we just go already? Were gonna be late you know." He said sounding irk. Tidus frowned at him and rub at the sore spot on his head, Wakka nodded and called Sora to get in the van with the rest.
As he did, he gave Roxas a grateful look, one the blond return with a half smile. He may still have his doubt about Sora's relationship with their teacher, but it didn't mean he couldn't help him make it easier. Besides, if he was in his place-which he would never tell this to his cousin-he would try to do his best to be with the girl he liked too. The rest of his friends where already inside. Tidus and Wakka obviously, Pence, Olette and Hayner too. Turning his gaze back to his house, as they left, he watch it from the back widow till it finally was out of sight and wonder if the figure he saw on the porch from the distance had been hers.
On the road to Twiligt Town, they listen to music and sang along at some of the songs they knew, or even pretended they where playing the instruments on the solos. Even if most of them didn't have a shred of talent at doing either, well, except for maybe Roxas and Wakka. Roxas had a great voice and knew how to play the guitar and Wakka was very good with drums and bongos. The others not so much, going through puberty can make your voice crack at the most embarrassing of times and some weren't so much into learning how to play instruments, either. Or as Roxas prefer to term them, "Short attentions spans idiots" or "Lazy bums".
Sora always seemed to blush at the last one, since Kairi always called him that, but unlike Roxas it was out of endearment not to mock him. They talk on the way too, about sports like blitz ball, which Wakka and Tidus like to play, skate boarding and food, even school. Though there is where things got a little sketchy again.
"You know, I wish they where more cute girls in school, like Miss. Pureheart." Tidus, began.
Sora stiffen, he didn't want to hear this, he really didn't.
"Geez, again? Why don't you drop it Tidus? Comparing cute girls with a teachers sounds really gross." Roxas said disgusted. Sora had to hold back the urge to punch his cousin for saying something like that, about Kairi. He had to remind himself that he was probably saying it to change the subject.
'He's only saying this to help me, stop getting so upset!' He inwardly chided himself.
Tidus on the other hand, look mildly offended and push at it even more. "Yeah, if it was any other teacher it would be gross." He retorted, looking peeve. "But this is Miss. Pureheart, I'm compering them to, which in my opinion is way cutter then any of the girls in school."
Sora's hands fisted on his baggy pants. He was getting more and more irritated, the more the dark blond spoke and he knew he couldn't say anything. 'I promise Kairi, that nobody else would know our secret. I must keep my promise!'
"Hey! That's not true! Olette is just as pretty, or even more prettier then Miss. Pureheart!" Hayner, who had been sitting beside his girlfriend-actually behaving himself for once-had finally snap. Sora-although did not agree with his statement-was actually glad for it. Making a rampage at how Olette was so sweet and cute and perfect, they where all force to listen to his monologue about his wonderful girlfriend, which was now looking like she prefer to be anywhere else then in the van with her overly loving boyfriend. Though it had been the longest, most boring and cheesy thing they had ever heard, it had help Sora, since Tidus would never talk about another girl around Hayner again. Making a mental note, to stay close to Hayner and Olette when Tidus is around, they continue peacefully on the road toward Twilight Town or as peaceful as it could be on a van full of teenagers.
~.~.~.~
At Twilight Town, the group stretch out as they left the van. Their bodies-although it was a van, it was still cramp in their with all of them-in knots and needing some stretching after sitting in a vehicle for so long. It was an hour till noon and they needed to go to the square to get sign in for the competition, but they where also hungry, some more then others.
"Aaah! I'm so hungry!" Pence, cried. His stomach also, grumbling in protest.
A vain was visible in Hayner's forehead as he turn toward the more chubby dark hair teen. "You ate all your snacks in the van, how can you be hungry?!"
His friend pouted, almost childishly and moped, "Because they where only snacks, how can that be enough to satisfy a growing boy?"
Hayner, was losing patience, and he didn't have much of it to begin with. "Why you-!"
"How about, if I take Pence to get something to eat, while you guys sign me in for the competition?" Sora, intervene before Hayner blew a gasket. Pushing the chubby teen as he went, Roxas followed them and said over his shoulder as he wave them of.
"I'll go with them and bring some food too!"
The rest of them saw them off, though Hayner was still miffed he didn't complain, and their other friends watch them go with grateful and some weary smiles.
~.~.~.~
Sora and Roxas watch as their friend munch on his third bugger with so much gusto, it looked like he hadn't eaten in ages.
"Hey, Pence go easy on the burger body, or you might start choking on it." Sora commented, only half-joking.
"Yeah, why don't we go and take the rest of the food to the others. Their probably waiting for us already and hungry too." Roxas propose, wanting to find the rest of their friends, before his gluttonous friend here, devour the rest of their food too.
"Yo! Roxas! Long time no see body." Turning sharply, Roxas watch as the spiky red headed man and a girl beside him with short raven black hair stood but a little distance away from them, both showing wide smiles at seeing him.
"Axel! Xion!" The blond exclaim, showing both surprise and glee at seeing his two old friends. Dashing toward them, he greeted both of them warmly. "Is so good to see you guys again! What have you been up to?"
Axel grin and told him some of it, "Well, I'm giving classes as a substitute at our school, you know Twilight High. You probably would had been one of my student if you hadn't transfer to Destiny High."
Roxas let out and amuse snort."What are you teaching? How to make thing caught fire?" He remember, his friend as pyromaniac, always liking to set things on fire. He wasn't crazy or anything, just seemed to have an affinity with fire.
His friend gave him a scowled and huff, "Noooo, I'm a science teacher, my job is to not make things caught fire...though sometimes their are accidents." He confess the last part, in a mumble.
Roxas let out a laugh and then look at his other friend and froze. He hadn't notice at first, or didn't really thought about it, but Xion kinda reminds him of-
"Roxas! Can you at least pretend that you remember with here too?" Sora mocked, his goofy grin splayed. It fell though, once his gaze went from Axel, to Xion. He hadn't seen her in almost three years, but now that he seen her again, he started to feel an uncomfortable sensation in his chest.
"What's wrong Sora? Cat got your tongue?" She said, voice teasing and smiled. That smile! He knew that smile, he had seen it only yesterday.
'S-She l-looks, just l-like Kairi!' Both him and Roxas gaze at the raven hair girl, with astonishment, making the poor girl a little awkward. She and Axel exchange a confuse gaze, then turn to the two stun teens.
"Are you guys alright? Your staring at Xion as if she were a ghost." Axel, finally butt in. The two boys then looked at each other and shook their heads. Then if in understanding, Axel eyes widen and a mischievously grin cross his face. "Oooh, now I see. Didn't Sora had a crush on Xion a while back? But wasn't it unrequired because she liked-"
Axel had gone rigid and a pain expression was shown on his face. Xion had stomp on his foot-quite hard-and had her eyes close, a furious little scowled marge her features and her hands where fisted at her sides. She was embarrass too, her cheeks were dark red and she didn't look at any of them as she turn away and left.
"Ow, ow, oooow! Damn. X-Xion wait!" He called her, but she ignored him. "Ah, I better go apologize to her and to you guys too. Sorry, Sora, Roxas." As he fallowed the raven hair he wave back at them. "I'll see you guys later!"
They stood there for a moment, stump. "What just happen?" Roxas spoke after a long pause.
"We just got envelope on a trip into the pass and got even more confuse." Sora answer, but even confuse he thought he was starting to see a pattern here and it was as Kairi had said it. Weird, sure. He'd wish she had left him a better hint, then this.
~.~.~.~
"So, wait. Kairi told you about this!?" Roxas asked perplex.
"Nooo, she told me I find something weird here, something that might be connected to her." He repeated, a little discombobulated himself.
"Okay, and she didn't tell you anything more, like I don't know. I got a younger looking clone of me in the city!" The people around them looked at them strangely, from his outburst.
Sora smiled sheepishly and grasp Roxas by the shoulders, pushing him away from the crowed at the square. They had already met with the rest and ate, although not much since they were still digesting why they had discover. After the incident with Axel and Xion, they remembered though partly, that they had to go back to the guys where the struggle tournament was to be held. That had also been the time when they remembered they had left Pence on the table with all their food. They had to buy more food after that.
When they where away from the crowd and possible ease drops, Sora relax and tried to explain the problem to Roxas. "Kairi would not tell me anything else, but what I told you. She was apprehensive of only telling me that much in the first place."The blond looked confuse, 'Heh, welcome to my world.' Sora thought darkly.
"Why is that?" He asked honestly curious.
Sora excel a frustrated breath. "Is because of her past. That time she left the island...I think is one of the reason, maybe." He looked away, his usual bright blue eyes clouded. "I know it must have been hard for her, and that's why she's probably having trouble telling me strait, but even so, I have to know, so I can understand and maybe help her through it. I think that's what a good boyfriend should do..."
The moment he finish speaking, he knew his cousin was staring at him, but he was afraid of what his expression would be. He would probably be close to bursting out laughing at hearing his spaz of a cousin actual talk like that, he probably sounded like Hayner, when he spoke about his girlfriend. He reluctantly glance at him and yup, just like he expected, the blond's face was close to blowing with pent up laughter.
"Pfft...hihi...Hahahahaha!"
Yeah, that was kinda of annoying and yes he was deeply embarrass now. He growl his annoyance as he looked away, face flush.
"Hahahaha...I-I'm s-sorry...hihihi...Its j-just I n-never seen you so serious, it caught me by surprise...hahaa!" Sora looked at his cousin a little surprise himself. 'He isn't making fun of him? He is just surprise? What a wear way of showing it.' He though still a little irritated as he watch him tried to catch his breath, and wiping a tear from his eye.
"Well, that and I never expected you to be so thoughtful, Sora." He chuckle, making the brunet glare at him again. He raise his hands in surrender, still grinning at first, but slowly it vanish as he pounder something. "It sort of make sense now, doesn't it."
Sora, stop glaring and looked curiously at his cousin. "What does?"
Roxas looked at him strait in the eye and said, "Your crush on her, at that time before."
Sora stood still then, he could feel his tan face redden slightly at the memory.
Flashback
He had been twelve and she been eleven. He had come to visit his cousin, Roxas with his mom. At the time Roxas still lived in Twilight Town. A year later he would move to Destiny Island, but they hadn't know that then. The first time, he had met Xion, something inside him, had just fallen for the girl. He didn't know why, but her face and her smile was something he had just love looking at. Xion had been one of Roxas friends at the time and Axel too. They had all played and gotten along fine, it had been a lot of fun. That is, till Sora confess to Xion...
He had picked a small purple flower he had found to give to her, thinking she would had liked it, and as he stood before her, almost visibly shaking, palms sweaty he had told her as he offer her the flower.
"I-I like you! P-Please be my girlfriend!"
Xion had stood there shocked at first, then out of the blue she had gotten teary eye and started crying, dropping the little purple flower on the ground. Sora had tried to apologize and tell her to forget what he said, but it had been to no avail. The reason she had cried when he confess, was because she had liked Roxas and he had seen him confess to her. She knew Roxas would never do anything to hurt his only cousin feelings and would never liked her back.
Sora had been heart broken, and after that he never wanted to go visit his cousin in Twilight Town again. He didn't speak to him for almost a moth either, but at that time he did start to really miss his cousin. Roxas was also his best friend and he knew it hadn't been his fault Xion had liked the blond, instead if him.
After that, he did call him and apologize for getting mad at him when it wasn't really his fault. Roxas had been really happy, to hear from Sora again, after so long. Honestly he felt bad for what happen and told him that he honestly didn't like Xion, like that, he only saw her as a very good friend, which he had tried to explain it to her only to have her cry again. They both laugh about it and Roxas even confess that he had been trying non-stop to get Xion to rethink about, his confession and accept him, but after that time without seeing her, he had gotten over her and really didn't feel the same way anymore. Except for the sting of rejection, the only thing he felt for the girl was guilt for having destroy her chances with Roxas, which in a way it was better since he didn't like her that way in the first place. Friendly feelings, and strange sense of longing when he remember her face and smile, which he had found strange, because he understood that he really didn't like her like that anymore.
End of Flashback
Shaking his head, Sora chuckle, "I had never really liked her in the first place, at least not like that." He amended, scratching his cheek embarrass. "I had only had a crush on her because she reminded me of Kairi."
For the second time in that day, Roxas let out an amuse snort. "Even back then, you where obsess with her. I'm just surprise, you didn't remembered that Xion looked like, Kairi till you saw her again."
That irked Sora a little. "Neither did you!" Was his annoyed retort.
Roxas, blushed at that, "Well, I wasn't thinking about her every time I saw your girlfriend! What would I?"
"I didn't either!" He yelled back.
They where both huffing and flush, there's where they notice they had caught the attention of passer biers, again. They both looked embarrass at them and smile crookedly, temple sweaty. Once people stop looking at them, they let out a breath and glance back at each other, then actually laugh after they notice how stupid they had been acting just a few seconds ago.
"Guess, we both didn't remembered, but what are you going to do now, that you discover the 'weird' thing she was probably talking about?" Roxas asked.
Sora looked toward the crowed, at the square, where the tournament would soon start. Gaze fixated there he answered, "Do as I promise, I won't asked any questions to anyone and when I go back home, Kairi will have to tell me the truth. Like she promise."
His cousin stare at his profile, but he did not turn to meet his worried gaze. "Will she? Tell you the truth...?"
When people started cheering, as the tournament was about to begin, Sora finally turn to him and with a toothy grin he said without most confidants, "Yeah, I know she will."
With that he called for him to hurry, toward the square for the match, and as he followed behind him, the only thoughts in Roxas mind was, how lucky Sora was to have someone special he could trust on like that.
~.~.~.~
In the distance, away from the town,and into the woods, lay a big old mansion, where a young blond girl was drawing in her sketch book. She could hear the fireworks and festivities coming from outside, making her gaze turn to the curtain. Standing up from her chair, she place her book on the long white table and moved toward them to peeked through the window, seeing the explosion in the sky. Ice blue eyes, watch with longing at them and a sigh escape pale pink lips, that turn into a watery hiccup as she quietly sob, alone in her big white room, filled with drawings of places and people she had never seen and never met.
~.~.~.~
"Ladies and gentle man! Welcome to this year struggle tournament!" The host-a middle age man, with a round belly and funny mustache-started. The crowed cheer and they could tell, they already had competition. There was the last year champion Setzer a flashing man with spiky-ish long grey hair, Saifer an old rival of Hayner and Roxas group with a short scar across his face and bad attitude. And finally there was Vivi, a little guy that actually looked more scared about competing then anything. The once from their group that actually decided to compete where him, Roxas and Hayner. The rest came to cheer them on, Wakka and Tidus prefer to play blitz, not hit each other with a stick as they like to tease them with. Pence, well, there was no surprise there and Olette was also there to cheer for them and her boyfriend, who kept sending her winks and yelling, "I'll win for you babe!" Which earn him a few snickers from the guys, and his girlfriend disapproval as she looked embarrassingly away, pretending she didn't know him. That, of course, did not discourage the big idiot and he kept at it till, the rules where set and the match started.
The rules had been simple enough, whack your opponent with the blue bat you got and collect the most spheres that fell from the suites they put on you. The one with the most spheres in the end wins. Hayner and Roxas where up first and thought they both showed determination, Roxas had won, from concentration.
"Hey Olette, look! I'll win this easy for sure!" He had boast, when Roxas had swung his bat, sending him flying and taken all his orbs. After that, he sat sulking beside Olette on the bench. "Argh! I can't believe a lost!"
Next was Sora and Vivi, it wasn't a long spar, the moment Sora moved to attacked, the little guy fell to the ground and yell surrender. After that it was Roxas again, this time against Saifer, it had been a little bit more difficult, only because the punk kept taunting the blond and he lost a bit of focus, but his friend encourage him and told him not to lose his cool, with that bully. In which Seifer only provoke even more, finally snapping his last nerve and getting thoroughly beat.
"This isn't over here, blondy." Were his last words, before he turn his back on him. Roxas wonder if Saifer ever took his hoody of and saw that he was blond too.
Next was Sora versus Roxas.
"Hey, Sora, remember. No matter who wins, we split the prize got it?" His cousin reminded.
Sora, showed his usual grin and said, "Of course, I'll remember that when I win."
Roxas smirk back, "In your dreams!"
In all fairness it had been a very good match, they had both been skilled and gave it their all, but sadly their could only be one winner. Roxas had attacked Sora relentlessly it had almost appear as he had two bats instead of one as quick as he kept swinging, back to back. Losing his footing, Sora had almost lost, and if it hadn't been for his quick thinking or reflexes, he would have. Dock and rolling, he stood behind the blond and putting all his strength, gave a final strike that put him on the ground and lose all his orbs.
Roxas groan as he sat back up and shook his head trying to get his bearings back too. The spiky brunet offer his cousin, his hand in good sportsmanship, in which he took it with a defeated smile. "Heh, you make a great struggle champion." He told him, honestly.
Sora smiled and nodded, "You too."
Once on his feet, they shook hands and the crowed cheer for the two good friends and contestants. It was now up to Sora as he now was against last years champion Setzer. As the man stood on the stage, his fans-especially the girls-squeal and cheer for him. He waved at them with and air of greatness, that made the young boy queasy in the stomach.
"If you had any sense, you give up now." The so call champion said, voice arrogant. Sora ready his stance and Setzer chuckle, reminding him of another irritating adult. "Fine have it your way."
Finally as the match begun, once the man notice Sora wasn't fooling he actually was impress, but still confident, gave the crowed what they where cheering and fought Sora with his best moves. Grudgingly, the brunet had to admitted that for someone with so much hot air stuff in his head, the man was actually pretty good. 'But, not as pretty good as me.' He was sure of that. Dodging all his attacks, Sora finally found and opening and strike at it, making the once proud, overly pompous man fall to his knees.
"We have a winner!" The anchor proclaim, and raising his arm, the people cheer in delight at the new champion. Setzer stood and would have probably retorted something if his friends hadn't jump right in to congratulate him. The ex-champion turn away and let them have their fun, instead. Sora was then given a champion belt and some munny as a reward. He also got this really cool looking, trophy with four different crystal color orbs. After getting congratulated again, by the sponsor and towns people, he and his friends where ready to call it a day and go home when, they were met by Axel and Xion again.
"Great match you guys and well done Sora! Congratulations on your victory." Axel praise, a wide smile on his face again.
"Hey, its Axel and Xion!" Hayner exclaim, sounding happy to see them.
"Hi, its good to see you guys." Oletter said, in her sweet manner.
"Yeah, its been a while, but now that I think about it didn't I see you earlier when you greeted Roxas?" Pence wonder out loud.
"What!?" Hayner looked at Roxas then and so did the others except Sora who was beside him and looked just as awkward. "Why didn't you guys say anything?" Was the dirty blond, seeming accusing question. Roxas gave Sora a question look, only for him to return the same gaze back. Since they both stood quiet to long Axel, decided to intervene.
"That's because we wanted to surprise you guys, after the match was over." The spiky red head, told them jubilantly.
They all seemed to believe the fib and didn't comment anymore as they, catch up and talk about old times. They introduce Wakka and Tidus to them, since they where the only ones who didn't know them. Tidus had stared at Xion confuse at first, saying something like, "You look familiar, have we met before?" Axel joked and said if that was his friends smart way to pick up girls. That had made, the fluster boy drop the subject, causing Sora and Roxas to sighed with relief at not having to intervene, before things got complicated, again. Tidus, hadn't put two and two together, because he hadn't quickly thought of their English teacher, he wasn't that smart and after that wise crack that their spiky red headed friend pulled about picking up girls, he didn't glance at Xion again. Their other friends didn't notice either, Hayner because he was stood caught up talking again with Axel and the guys, Pence was more interested in eating the popcorn and chilidogs he bought. Wakka didn't seem to pay any attention to that either and was also just talking with the guys, the only one that seemed to really notice was Olette, but she seemed to have pass it of as a coincidence, as she had asked Roxas if Xion had any older siblings. He had quickly looked away and said that she had never mention it before and he had never asked, so she just let it go.
'Siblings? I wonder...could Kairi had had siblings?' Sora wondered. He remembered her as an only child when they were little, and she had said it herself that her mother couldn't have anymore children either, so-
"Hey, Sora! Why don't you show Axel and Xion your prizes from the tournament." Hayner said snapping him out of his thoughts. Not seeing why not, he showed them the trophy and champion belt.
"Wow! Pretty cool Sora, sure your girlfriend will be impress." Axel commented jokingly.
Even though part of him knew he was joking, that didn't stop the other part of him to react at the statement. His face had flush and a look of shock cross his features. Noticing this, Axel expression turn speculative, but he quickly hid it behind a grin and gave the brunet a strong slap in the back, making him almost tip over.
"Ah, well, maybe when you get one then." He continue to play along. He was actually curious in the strange behavior the young boy was showing, he found it interesting.
"Yeah, that would be the day. Sora with a girlfriend? The next thing you know, Wakka will be engage!" Tidus laugh, not noticing the apprehensive look, the orange hair teen had turn when he said that. Though it annoyed Sora to hear that, he didn't say anything and let it pass. After all, it was better that he thought like that anyway.
It was already getting late and they needed to get back home.
"Well, I guess I'll see you guys next time you come visit." Axel said as he wave goodbye, still smiling. He was actually a little sad though, he did miss them and its been a while since he saw his best friend and the others. How long would it take to see them again, he wondered.
"You know, you can always come visit us too." Roxas was the one to say, reading his friends thoughts. Surprise at first the spiky red hair, chuckle.
"Yeah, I could use the vacation anyway. I'll see you in spring break then." He promise this time. Roxas gave his old best friend a smile and nodded, before he turn and catch up with the others in the van he heard the older guy add, "You, know, Sora has change right? I think Xion has notice it too and might try to rekindle the boy's old flame on her."
Eyes widening, he turn his gaze toward Sora as he was about to get in to the van, just before Xion stopped him and said something to him. He followed her away from the vehicle, making Roxas wonder if what Axel said had been true.
"Oh is true all right." He said, haven read the question in the blond's startle face. "She's going for Sora, but I wonder what else might she be after. After she saw you two, Xion has been behaving kinda strange."
Both their gazes had turn to the two teens in the distance, they seemed to be talking rather normally. Sora's movement seemed to be tense and nervous, but that didn't surprise him. What did surprise both of them, was the moment Xion reach forward and grasp one of Sora's hands. He cringe back shocked too, which means he wasn't expecting it, but as he stare at the petite girl, he seemed to relax a bit. When she kiss him on the cheek and left him there to stand like a statue, Roxas had had enough and went to snap his cousin from whatever cheating thoughts he was having about the young girl. 'I wonder if he already forgot about Kairi.' He thought perversely.
~.~.~.~
'I can't believe she kissed me. Kairi is going to kill me!' Were the actual thoughts of the brunet as he stood petrify with fear, while kept replaying the scene in his head. The though of another girl kissing him was weird, and having another girl actually kiss him-although on the cheek-felt even weirder. 'I wonder if Kairi would be as upset if I tell her I really didn't like it.' He wasn't sure himself if that be enough for her not to toss him away and never speak to him again. Crouching over, he burry his hands into his messy spikes and mess them up even more as he yelled in disdain. What was he going to do?
The moment, Xion had asked him, if she could speak with him alone for a second or two he had seen red flags, flashing inside his mine! He had wanted to say no, but felt guilty when she looked at him with those sad big blue eyes of hers. So he complied and walk with her a bit of a distance from behind the van and waited for her to speak. She had first apologize for earlier, when she had ran off because of what Axel had said about their past. He had quickly and nervously-as he didn't want her to feel bad again, for what happen so long ago-tried to reassure her, that she had nothing to apologize for and it was all fine and that the past didn't matter, that the present was important now. She had staid quiet for a moment and then looked up at him, with a smile so bright and familiar it had made his heart beat fast and his face flush, from the person that smile reminded him of.
She had thank him and without warning reach for his hand, he jump back surprise at first, and had wanted to pull his hand away from hers feeling uncomfortable at having her hold it. It wasn't as if her hands where clammy or cold, they had been actually warm and soft. 'But they weren't Kairi's.' That thought alone had cause him, to wish for the red headed woman to be here, holding his hand instead of the dark hair girl, but as he stare at her delicate face a little more he could see again the resemblance and he could almost pretend it was Kairi who was holding his hand, and it was Kairi he was talking to, not Xion. Sora had been so deep in his own daydream, that when the she tip toe to kiss his cheek goodbye, he had been caught completely of guard.
Now again, deep in his own turmoil, he didn't notice Roxas, approaching him a solemn look covered his face.
"Hey." He called when, Sora didn't look up at him. When he did, his cousin seemed to finally catch up to the blond's angry mood and straiten up.
"Its not what you think!" He try to explain, but the boy just cross his arms and asked, "Oh? And what is it then? If you weren't flirting with another girl that isn't you girlfriend that is."
Sora, deadpan at that and turn angry at his cousin implication. "I was not flirting with Xion! I would never do that..." He told him seriously.
Roxas stilled look unconvinced, so Sora reminded, "I was thinking of Kairi, the whole time I was talking to her. I only saw Kairi, when I looked at her...it wasn't that hard for me to think I was with her instead of Xion."
He looked away, feeling both embarrass and guilty. Even like this, Sora felt he had betray Kairi, although he had been thinking about her the entire time he'd been with Xion, letting another girl so near him when she wasn't around made him feel wrong somehow.
Shuffling were he stood, Roxas was feeling pretty uncomfortable too. He should had known that his cousin, was too honest and good to actually be playing with another girl, when he already had girlfriend back home, then again, he didn't know how Sora was feeling, since he himself never had a girlfriend either. 'I wonder what it be like, to have someone you like so much, that all other just seemed to fade in comparison.' The blond's thoughts were wistful and gazing back at his cousin, he could see how his thoughts had turn to that person again.
He was blushing and he seemed to be agitated. Probably thinking he be in trouble once he got back home, but honestly with that cute-I didn't do anything-expression of his, he doubt Kairi would really get mad at him. He wish he was that lucky when he gets girl too.
"Come on you, idiot. The others are probably waiting in the van for us." He said, putting and arm around his neck and dragging him back toward the bang up truck.
"Wha?! R-Roxas, w-wait! I can't go myself! Stop dragging me-!"
"Kairi won't be upset so don't worry about it." Roxas told him calmly, shutting up his protests. He wasn't looking at him and Sora was glad, because he probably notice the deep blush that cross his tan face at being found out so easily. Was he that transparent? Even Roxas knew he was worried of what Kairi would think, but honestly he hoped that his cousin was right, and Kairi really did forgive him. When they were back in the truck, they notice everybody's gaze was on Sora.
"So, little Sora isn't so little anymore." Tidus, poke teasingly.
Sora, blush intensely unable to say anything.
"Tidus, stop bothering him! His obviously embarrass enough." Olette, defended.
"Come own, how can he be embarrass after, being lovey-dovey with that girl. How was it? Did you French her?" The crude question, finally snap him out of his awkwardness and he was finally able to speak.
"W-WHAT!? NO! I-I mean, she only kiss my cheek! Why would you t-think I-" He stopped then, seeing all their knowing looks. It had been a trick.
"So there was a kiss! Ha, you owe me five bucks Wakka!" The dark blond said victoriously, while the older orange hair boy just look repented.
If there ever was a time, he'd wish he been born mute, now was time to start wishing it. "L-Look, nothing h-happen! W-We're just friends okay! FRIEANDS!" He persisted.
Tidus just roll his eyes at him, "Sure, friends."
Irritated, he was about to retort back, when Roxas grasp his arm. Looking back at the blond, he saw him shake his head, as if to tell him to let it go, and reluctantly he did. The rest of the way back they made fun of him, about it, but he continue to ignore them. Roxas was right, maybe it be better if they thought that way, it would keep them away from ever suspecting he already had a girlfriend. He didn't think they ever suspect it was Kairi, but one could never be to carful.
Back home, they wave him off, as they left him on the gate where they had picked him up this morning.
"See ya tomorrow Sora! I can't wait to tell everybody about you winning the tournament and...your new love affair." Of course, Tidus wouldn't stop on teasing him. Letting out a gusty sigh, he turn back toward his house, before he got even more picked on.
"Hey don't forget you got to meet us tomorrow to split the prizes!" Hayner yelled behind him. Turning his profile to look at them, he smiled at his friend and nodded.
"Will do!" Saying their good byes again, they left with a bit of noise both from their laughing and loud voices, and from the banging, old, worked up van.
Tomorrow he would split the prices with them, like they promise. As a show of friendship they had wanted to share it between them, he had wanted to split it earlier, but he had forgotten to, after meeting again with Axel and Xion. Sora stopped as he stood in front of the door. He wanted to asked Kairi, about Xion, but if he did he also had to tell her what had happen about her kissing him and about his confession to her a few years back.
'Maybe, I shouldn't asked her after all...' He knew he was being cowardly, but he was actually really nervous about telling her. 'She told me about her and Riku, but it hadn't really been serious since she always liked me.' Sora knew that, thought it didn't stopped him from getting jealous every time he thought of them together. Maybe Kairi would also get jealous, he was curious and wonder what that would be like. He picture her getting pouty and sad because he had confess to another girl, and let that other girl kiss him on the cheek, or her getting angry and never speaking to him again. Both ends didn't sit too well with him, though seeing Kairi's cute crying face was a bit tempting, he would never purposely make her cry. Still, he had no choice, but to be honest with her, because either way, she would fine out. He knew Tidus had been serious about telling everybody about his suppose 'love affair'. Shuddering he finally open the door, with the key he got from under the mat (They should seriously get a batter hiding spot for it) and walk in.
"I'm home!" He called, but nobody answered. Founding it weird, he walk toward the kitchen and saw a sticky not on the fridge. Plucking it up, he saw it was from his mom.
It read:
Hi honey! Hope you had a great time at Twilight Town with Roxas and your friends! Me and Kairi went out for drinks tonight, with some of my friends I wanted to introduce her too. I left you some food in the microwave, don't wait up we're probably coming back late tonight.
Loves you!
Mommy
Sora stood stun in the middle of the kitchen for a moment, then re-read the note, once, twice, three times! Till all he could say from his dumbfounded thoughts was.
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
~.~.~.~
He couldn't sleep. To many thoughts in his mind and to many questions he needed to asked. One being what had posses his girlfriend to go out drinking with his weird mother and her even more weirder friends. 'She was probably depress, because she wanted to spend the weekend with you and you decided to ditch her for you friends and that struggle tournament.' His inner self peeved in. "Shut up." He muttered as he buried his face on his pillowed. 'Well, for whatever reason, she left with mother dearest, at least it gives you time before you confess, confessing to another girl and letting her have the grabs on you.' His dark self wouldn't stop tormenting him tonight. "Just leave me alone, I really don't have the energy to argue with you or even get angry at your annoying words." He finally let out, turning in bed to face the ceiling. Placing his forearm over his tired eyes, he tried to sleep again, ignoring his alter ego drivel. 'Your no fun.' Before he finally quiet he muttered, 'I miss her too.'
Moving his arm to looked at the ceiling, he understood that, the reason-he guess-to why he couldn't sleep and was so anxious; was probably because he hadn't seen the red headed woman all day. "Kairi, I miss you. I wanna to see you...Don't you feel the same?"
After a while, he guess he must have fell a sleep because the next thing he knew he had woken up to find Kairi, kissing and liking his neck. Had she really snuck into his bed room and was now straddling him!? In a daze he'd notice what she was wearing; a provocative short dark skirt(that was even now, thanks to her position on top of him, ridding even more up her silken, bare thighs)a light pink, with tiny dark red polka dots spaghetti strap top and some sexy, lacy red high heels too. 'I'm probably still dreaming.' He thought, in a haze, as his dream version of Kairi, smooth her hands under his rumple shirt and started to sensually play with his nipples till they stiffen and ache for more of her touch. 'But since it is a dream...'
Reaching up, with trembling hands, he quickly grasp at her full breast, fondling them and teasing her nipples, making his dream Kairi gasp and moan. She squirm on top of him, making the round, plump curve of her behind rub, deliciously over his arousal. Feeling even more bold, he lower her top, exposing her lacy hot pink bra, it even had a tiny bow in the middle. 'That means, its a gift. You should open it.' His darker self, tempted. 'Its just a dream. What harm could it do?' He was right, but some part in his subconscious, wasn't so sure it was a dream.
The texture and the warmth of her skin felt real, her hot breath on his face also felt real. This all felt so real, he wish it was, as he let himself indulged even more on this dream, that didn't seemed like a dream, again he touch her and grope her lacy covered breast. Curious, he push them together and played with them, then grasp the hard picks and pull at them making Kairi cry and arch her back.
"S-Sora," She panted, eyes half leaded and misty, her face flush with desire. "D-Don't pulled a-at them l-like that!"
'S-So cute!' He thought, panting as he felt his shaft stiffen even more. She looked so damn sexy, with her silky red hair tousle over her face, cheeks red and expression desirous. Then she looked at him in that way, when he touch her, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Sorry I can't hold back!" He apologize as he buried, his face between the twin gloves and moved his hips upward. Neck arch, Kairi cried out again, arms wrapped around Sora's shoulders as he grinded his hips up against her yielding covered heat. Liking down the cleavage of her breast, he stopped to scatter kisses over the upper swell of each breast, only lingering to suck and nip at the flesh, leaving dark bruises on the once flawless cream skin. Pulling at the material of her bra lower he free her round perky, breast and for the first time bare them to his viewing delight.
Budded pick nipples greeting him and he could not help, but drag them into his mouth and suck at them. He let out a torture groan as he tasted the forbidden berry, it tasted so good, making his mouth water even more. Lavishing it with his tongue, he use the blunt of his teeth to nibble at it, as Kairi whimper and moan, her hips still moving against his, moving faster as she was closer to reach her pick. Sora wanted to taste her more, but he felt so close too, as he switch to her other breast and latch at the un-tasted nipple, he grasp her free breast with his hand, squeezing it before twiddling and pinching he unoccupied moist bud. His other arm wound around her slim waist keeping her firmly against his body.
Kairi was feeling so good, as she clung to him. Grinning on him as he pleasure her breast, she panted, eyes moist, her mouth open letting out mewling noises and gasping moans. 'S-So close!' She could feel it, but she didn't want to get there just yet. A need to taste him, came over her and as she moved back, causing Sora's lips to detach from her aching, wet nipple with a noisy slurp, Kairi grasp his face with both her hands and pulled him for a deep kiss. Tongue deep in his mouth, she continue to rub their lower bodies together faster and faster till she came, hard. White lights shown behind her close lids and the pleasure was so strong, it made her tremble from head to toe, till she felt completely boneless.
Sagging against him, they fell back down on the bed, lower bodies still rubbing against each other; still feeling tingly in the aftermath. As they waited, for their heart beats to slow, is when Sora finally understood, this was not a dream. Almost jumping away from under her, he backward on the bed till his back hit the headboard of it.
Expression, looking almost horrified he stuttered, "I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't m-mean too! I t-thought I was d-dreaming, h-honest!" Kairi just stare at him. She didn't say anything and that only made him more nervous. "I really am sorry! Please don't hate me!"
Tilting her head, and looking totally confuse, she finally spoke, "Why would I hate you? I'm your lover, isn't this what lovers do to show how much they miss each other?"
Sora blink and stood quiet for a moment, looking at her blankly. She gave him an unsure smile and asked, "Do you hate me? For sneaking into your room that is and doing those thing to you."
Blinking again, he quickly shook his head no, making her sigh and smiled relieved. Crawling on her hands and knees toward him, she didn't seemed to notice that her chest was still uncover, showing as they push and brush against each other as she moved. Sora quickly regretted, staring as it made that part between his legs harden in an instant, again. "Sora~" Kairi purred, catching his attention from her front. She licked her lips flirtatiously, and bit her bottom lip, making his eyes glue there. Once she was close, she place her palm over his tented boxers and the other on his shoulder pushing him back on the wooden board of his bed, as she began to slowly stroke him.
"Ngh...ah!...K-Kairi!"He wailed, as she plaid with him. She kiss his cheeked tenderly and continue to kiss down to his jaw, all the way to the side of neck and lick back up. Again, Sora felt he was on the edge, and after comimg so soon before, he wasn't so surprise. He still felt sensitive and Kairi really knew how to touch him, she gave his lips a dab with her tongue, then plunge it into his mouth, making him, whimper with need from her clever strokes inside his hot, wet cavern.
Suddenly she withdrew back, taking her lips away from his. Sora let out husky whine in complain, but as he slowly open his eyes, and saw Kairi's deep blush cover face, he quiet completely. Shyly, she race his eyes to his, and his heart seemed to have skip a bit or two, for in that moment Kairi had a looked so innocent, so unbearably cute he thought he would have died from it. What she said, next had really put him so close to climaxing, he was surprise he been able to hold it after that, "C-Can I touch you directly?"
Mouth gone dry, blood running wild, Sora did not trust himself to speak, so with a shaky nod, the brunet watch transfix as she reach hesitantly inside his dark boxers and when he felt her soft, warm hand clasp around him, he through his head back and came. His body tensing, from wave after wave of pleasure, as Kairi quickly stroke him, as he twitch and filled his boxer even more with his come and probably her hand too.
Out of breath again, Sora slump back on the bed, and watch as Kairi drew her hand out from his drench undergarments. Her hand-as he suspected-was cover in his seed, making his already fading blush, re-appear with a vengeance. His girlfriend examine it, with open curiosity, not looking at all disgusted as he would expect, moreover she looked fascinated by it, feeling the texture and drawing it close to her face she seemed to sniff at it and slowly, but deliberately licked it. Sora jolted from that, and tried to calm himself as he tried to find something for Kairi to wipe her hand, while telling her not to eat that.
The young woman just smile at him, and continue to suck on her sticky fingers as she mumble against them, "Its fine." Lick "Its Sora's so I don't mind eating it."
Sora's blood did not know where to go from there, either strait to his groin again, or to his already fluster face. Having licked her hand clean, Kairi gave satisfied grin and snuggle against his chest. "K-Kairi?" He stuttered unsure of what he was suppose to do now.
Sighing tiredly, she softly asked, "Is it alright if I stay in your room tonight? We can talk in the morning if you like?"
Sora was not gonna deny her that much. After the exhausting day today, and the amazing loving they just did, he could use a break too. They would talk in the morning and everything will be alright. Now that Kairi was with him, he could feel his body relax, his mind getting drowsy, wanting to rest. Arms wrapping around her, he pulled her close to his body, and buried his face in her silky red hair and inhale. "Okay...but promise me you'll stay with me till morning?" He asked, a little timidly.
Kairi smiled, as her head rested on his chest and nodded, hugging him tighter. "Yes."
Happy to hear that, Sora grasp the sheet from under them and place it over their close bodies. Sighed, contently he let sleep take over and soon he was dreaming of warm, sunny beaches and cute red headed girls with mischievous smiles and love for kissing, spiky hair brunets.
~.~.~.~
Back in Twilight Town, in the big old mansion. Naminé, awoke thirsty and decided to go to the kitchen for some water, she was told to called the servants if she ever wanted anything, but it was late and she didn't want to disturb anyone. Walking silently through the hallway, she though she heard somebody's name being called from her younger's sister room. Worried she walk closer and heard it again, the door wasn't fully close, so she could hear her sister mumble and moan from were she was. Taking a peek, inside the dimly lit room from the crack at the door, she saw as her sister Xion was laying on the bed, the sheets underneath her were ruffle and wet, from her sweaty trembling body, as she wantonly touched herself. The blond was aghast, how could her little sister be doing such a thing? She wanted to turn away, close the door and pretend that she never saw this, but as she saw the dark hair girl, moved her fingers faster and deeper into her womanhood, the older sister couldn't helped, but watch in stupefied shock as she finally came, screaming the name of the person blond heard before.
"R-Roxas!"
Body still trembling, she saw as her beloved younger sister rolled herself into a ball and started to weep. "W-Why, can't you love me Roxas? Why?" Covering her mouth, Naminé silently close the door and walk back to her room, a few tears rolled down her pail cheeks, as she also wept for her sister's pain.
