Me: Thank you for making me feel great about myself... -.-
Sora: Anytime! :D
Ocean Waves: Chapter 6
Oh No... She DIDN'T!~
Sora's POV:
She took the lead this time, straddling my hips and kissing me forcefully, which took me by surprise. This girl had this aura about her. From a first impression, she was spunky with an attitude and she loved to have fun. I like that kind of girl. She started unbuttoning the black dress shirt I had worn for my escape, a smirk gracing her pretty pink lips. Once she finished undoing the last button, I heard a door slam open somewhere in the suite, which startled the both of us, making the girl squeak, fall off of me and onto the floor. Sigh, I still don't know her name...
"Yo, Sora, you up here?" I heard a slurred yell and then a giggle. Yay, Axel's here... Within a moment, Axel stumbled into the room, mumbling a few curses under his breath, with a girl following closely behind, the source of the giggle.
"Hey, isn't this my suite?" she chimed in, looking around the room in familiarity. Axel's girl looked just like my mystery girl, save for the stunning blue eyes and choppy black hair. I recognized her as the same girl from the club, the one who shoved her friend at me. At least I know that this was the girl that took our suite.
"IT WAS YOU?" Axel turned around to face his girl, eyes wide. He was completely caught off guard. The raven haired girl giggled again.
"What was me?" she sang, pointing to herself and batting her eyelashes innocently. Honestly, this girl looks like she's capable of flirting with anybody...
"What the hell are both of you doing here?" I yelled over their banter. They directed their attention toward me.
"It's my suite," they both said simultaneously. I looked over at my mystery girl, who wouldn't stop staring at me, never moving from the sitting positon she was in. She looked almost mesmerized by me. Axel's girl darted her eyes from the redhead on the floor to me. She checked me out, gaping in surprise. Gradually, her bewilderment faded into a dazzling smile, or was that a smirk?
"Damn, sis, we come here to look for Naminé, and you just had to go and do the dirty with him instead? Priceless!" she laughed pointing at me. I was unaffected by the possible insult that was thrown at me and looked down to my mystery girl, who was unfortunately that troll's sister.
"Xion!" she squeaked, but she never broke her stare on me, blushing. It was like she was trying so hard to remember something very important, and I found it adorable.
"Oh, come on, he's good-looking! I approve 100%!" Xion held up both of her thumbs, grinning and giggling madly. Damn right I'm good-looking.
"Hey!" Axel whined. "I thought you said I was the hot one!" he pulled out the most ugliest pout.
"Psh, whatever," Xion waved it off. "Let's go find another room, hot stuff," Xion winked at her sister and lead a dazed Axel out of the room. There was a moment of thick silence. I sat on the bed and huffed. I kept staring at the door while she kept staring at me... I turned toward her and scratched the back of my neck while she still kept staring.
"Uh... You okay?" Her eyes widened.
Kairi's POV:
I... I was speechless. There he was, an arms-length away. It was him. It was Sora. I've been waiting for so long and he finally came back to Destiny Islands, like he promised he would. I never felt so caught off guard and happy at the same time in my entire life than right now. It must be embarrassing because I'm just staring at this guy, "Sora," dumbfounded. I might be fooling myself. Maybe I heard wrong. What if it's not even him?
"Uh... You okay?" his voice snapped me out of my embarrassing trance.
"Oh- Uh, I... Was just thinking..." He gave me an "I-don't-buy-that-bullshit" kind of face.
"Okay, whatever," he said a bit irritably. It was pretty awkward between us since we were... "interrupted," but I never thought that it would go this terrible.
"Um," I stood up slowly, hoping that what I do won't make him bite my head off. "Are y-you sure your n-name's 'Sora'?"
Roxy's POV:
I sat in the arm chair Naminé was sitting in while she sat in between my legs, managing to sit slightly cross-legged as she added the finishing touches to her drawing. I couldn't help but look over her shoulder as she did, resting my chin on her shoulder, sharing headphones and listening to my music. I learned a lot from Naminé Rodelle. Getting past her shyness, she was charming and sophisticated. She was as proper as she could get, but what I really liked other than her innocence was her taste in music. She loved listening to instrumentals and orchestral pieces, and she listens to my kind of music! She's amazing!
"I'm finished..."
"Hm?" I hummed as I buried my face into her ashen locks, inhaling her sweet scent. She trembled slightly at the foreign contact of affection.
"M-My drawing," she stuttered, closing her sketchbook and holding it shyly.
"Oh... Have you ever been with a guy before?" I smirked as she looked away, obviously turning a few shades of pink.
"I usually don't talk to any other man except for my father..."
"Are you afraid of talking to other people besides your father?" she turned back around, the blush still evident on her face.
"Well, no besides you, I'd have to say that I don't talk to anyone else," she said softly, gracing me with a small smile.
"So that girl you were drawing... She's your sister?"
"She was my sister. I don't know how she is now... It was a very long time since I had to leave her and my mother and my older brother, Riku. I still remember how she started to yell at me when I told her that our father was leaving, and taking me with him," she sighed, looking down. "I hope she can forgive me for being so selfish..." Wow... She must have had a really suckish childhood.
"Hey," I lifted her head by the chin so she could look at me. Naminé had a searching look in her eyes; they were a pleading Indigo."Don't ever say that. She shouldn't be mad at you for something that happened so long ago. I bet she misses you and wants to be with you right now. And I don't think your selfish..." She turned around entirely and hugged me tightly around the waist. I heard a small, cute sniffle.
"Th-Thank you. I... I really need to see her, b-but I just don't know where to find her..." I rubbed soothing circles on her back to calm her down before she could even start to cry.
"I'll help you find her. I promise." I held out a pinky for her. Her smaller one wrapped around mine so delicately.
"That's so kind of you," she smiled a smile that actually reached her eyes.
"I kinda get that a lot," I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
Kairi's POV:
He looked at me as if I told him it was raining baby chocobos.
"Of course my name's Sora," he snorted. "I thought you would've caught on by now." he laid down on the bed with his legs dangling off the edge and his hands covering his eyes. "Great, just great. I was suppose to be incognito until I reached the other side of this Island, but no~! I had to get myself drunk and suck face with a girl I barely even know, and now she knows that I ran away and will probably inform the tabloids and put me in an even deeper shit-hole than I already was! Just fucking gr-!"
I slapped him.
"I'm right here, Sor! Show me some consideration." I crossed my arms and stuck my tongue out at him while he held the red side of his face in shock.
"Why the hell did you slap me? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!"
"So why did you wanna go to the other side of the island anyways?" I asked, completely ignoring his last comments. He should know by now who I am. I mean, hello! Red hair, purple eyes!
"Well, it's kinda personal..." his cheeks were a slight tinge of pink. "I wanted to return something for an old friend of mine. It's really important that I see her." Her. Her. It has to be me. If only he'll recognize me!
"What is it?" I asked curiously, hoping that he still had my first Wayfinder. He dug into his right pocket and held the star-shaped charm by the chain, letting it twist and sway. He chuckled at the mediocrity of it. Hey, I even thought it was mediocre. I made it when I was like eight.
"I know it looks like a five-year-old made it, but it's very special to me. My friend, Kairi, gave it to me before I left this Island ten years ago. I also gave her my crown chain. We both promised to not let them go until we met each other again and returned them to each other." I eyed the charm with awe. All these years...
"C-Can I hold it?" I held out my hands just slightly, as if it were my only chance at living. The charm jerked away by my sudden attempts.
"I... I don't know," Sora replied, unsure.
"P-Please? I just want to hold it..." I reached for it again, but, as the last time, it moved farther away from my touch.
"Why should I?" he asked testily. This new Sora is getting on my nerves...
"Why are you being so stubborn? I only want to examine that Wayfinder just for one second. It's all I'm asking!"
"How 'bout... No?" he said haughtily, clutching the charm defensively. To see him like this over a promise made my heart burst with such elation. He thinks my Wayfinder is important. He thinks I'm important...
"Sora, it's really touching and heartwarming how you don't want to break a promise but-" Without thinking, I tackled him onto the bed, trying to pry the charm out of his hands. "-GIVE ME THE DAMN CHARM!" The charm slipped from my hands and fell on his stomach when he grabbed my wrists in an iron-like grip.
"ARE YOU CRAZY, WOMAN?" Was all I let him yell out before I bit his hand until he let go of one of my wrists, giving me an advantage. Right when I touched the cool shells of the charm, I was flipped over so that he was on top of me, straddling my hips and pinning my hands above my head. I heard a soft thud. The charm fell on the floor.
"Let me go!" I struggled against his unflinching strength.
"No, you're mentally deranged!" He wouldn't let go. I had to do something... And I knew I was going to feel immense remorse for it...
I kneed him swiftly in the crotch, causing him to fall off the bed and yell in agonizing pain. I bent over the other side of the bed to reach for the charm, picking it up. Now all I had to do was turn it over and see if it-
"Oh no you don't!" Strong hands griped at my legs, pulling me to him.
"HEY! S-STOP IT!" I yelled, clawing at bed sheets in hopes of pulling away from him. With one final pull, he brought me under him again. I wasn't gonna let Sora win! Using all of my strength, I brought him down. This time, I was the one pinning him, with one hand, and holding the charm in victory.
"Now..." I held up the charm to my face to examine it. It was just how I made it. The faded pink Thalassa shells were stitched together with yarn and the small crown was glued in the middle. The crude drawing of my red hair and smiley face was still there; it hadn't worn away. I turned it over and saw my name carved amateurishly and a small heart also carved next to it. This is my Wayfinder. He actually kept it..
"Are you done, princess?" Sora drawled out from underneath.
"Y-Yeah..." I felt a blush creep up on my face. I placed the Wayfinder on his chest and leaned in to look at him. "I-I'm really sorry. I-I didn't mean to do that, Sora..." He didn't respond; he kept staring at my chest with an incredulous look in his eyes. His right hand slipped out of my grasp and reach towards my chest slowly.
"S-Sora?" I could feel my heart beating faster with every second. His hand touched something around my neck.
"A... chain?" he muttered absently, tugging on the chain slightly. My eyes widened at the necklace that, I had forgot, was hanging around my neck this whole time. He pulled the chain out of my dress and I saw how his eyes widened at the crown pendant in his hand.
"Kairi-?"
"Ahem," someone coughed. Both of our heads snapped in the direction of the noise. Xion and her "friend" were at the door. "You guys sure like to play rough..." he said, a suggestive smirk on his face.
"Axel!" Sora groaned... Sexy...
"What?" Axel inquired innocently, sticking his hands in his pockets. "I'm just saying..."
"Oh hush, Axel," Xion playfully slapped his arm. "So what if you can hear these guys go at it? I mean, with all of the noise they make, we could record live por-"
"XION!" I shrieked. Ugh, this is so embarrassing!
"We weren't doing anything!" Sora put his hands up in defense. "Why would I want to have crazy sex with this chick?" he pointed at me. He was smirking.
"Sora Salem Strife, you're pathetic! You were the one who brought me here if you hadn't remembered yet," I scoffed. I can't believe I still remember his full name... Xion giggled, causing Sora to twitch in annoyance.
"Whatever," he muttered in annoyance.
"Aw, come on Sor," I poked his cheek. "You're going to act like that when we found each other again?"
"Oh yeah!" He slung an arm around me and pulled me in. "This is my longtime friend, Kairi!"
"You already found her?" Axel yelled in exaggerated disbelief. "Man, you work fast... And you got her into bed, too!" I glared at him, hoping to shut him up. Axel hid behind Xion. "A-Anyway... Have you seen Roxas?"
"Oh, Axel! I knew you would confess your undying love for him!" Sora cooed while Xion just glared at him. I walked over to Xion and waved a hand in her face.
"Xi, you okay? Come, let's change..." I grabbed her hand and led her into the bathroom where all of our clothes were scattered carelessly on the floor. I started going through our clothes, picking out our pajamas for tonight.
"Is there something you want to tell me? You know, that's on your mind? Something... wrong?" I threw her a pair of black short shorts and a blue tank top bundled up in a messy ball.
"Yeah," she stared down at the clothes I tossed her. "What's really bothering me is that you're still a better fashionista than me!" I laughed with her even though I knew that wasn't the problem.
"Seriously, though. What's wrong?"
"Well... Don't you think it was too easy finding Sora? I mean, it would've taken forever to find one guy in this whole entire Island, and yet you found him here... It wasn't just a mere coincidence." She's got a point. We only started our little "journey" around sixteen hours ago, and I already found the last person I thought I would ever see in my life.
"I can't say I don't agree with you," I said, examining a violet tank top. I decided to throw that on with the same shorts Xion had. "Ugh, Xion! This tank top is too tight, and the shorts are too short!"
"That's the whole point, silly!"
"Well, I'm not used to it." I stuck out my tongue. I could feel Sora's necklace being pressed against the top, so I pulled it out and set it gently on my chest.
"I can't believe you followed through with that childish promise," Xion mumbled while staring at the crown pendant. She held it and examined it. "It's too cute and sweet to be true!"
"Quit it," I whined, hoping to stop her teasing. I walked over to the sink and picked up my hairbrush. As I brushed my hair, I couldn't help but hum a familiar song that's been stuck in my head since I brought Xion to the bathroom.
"What's up with you and that song?"
"What do you mean?" I asked, clueless.
"I always hear you hum it. At home, in school, when you thought no one was home. It's like a record is skipping in your mind or something like that."
"Oh... I don't know. It was just always in my head. It's that one song I can never forget..." I placed the brush down and began washing the disgusting make up off of my face. "You should do this, too. You look like an effin clown." I heard her giggle and sit on the floor.
"Well, maybe I am!" she crossed her arms and stuck out her tongue.
"Good, 'cause I thought so..." I screamed as I dodged a flying bag of makeup and a thong."Hey, why the hell do you have a thong!"
"NO ONE'S BUSINESS!" Xion's face was a tomato.
"Mhmm," I giggled. "Exactly what you say Xi..." I ran out of the bathroom to avoid more flying objects that were directed at me. As I turned the corner of the hallway I was in, I ran into something hard but soft. Obviously, whoever it was never saw it coming so I fell on top of them.
"Woops, sorry there. You okay?" I saw fiery red hair.
"Oh, s-sorry... Axel?"
"Yeah, and it's alright. It looks like you upset Beauty Queen over there." Axel smirked.
"Where's Sora? It's, um, kinda important that I talk to him. We haven't-"
"Yeah, yeah, ten years and all that crap," he waved off jokingly. "He's in the living room. Just go in there, get your stuff straight, and make out already."
"Hey!" I pouted as he ignored me, walking into the bathroom.
"Why hey there baby, I- EEEEEEK! A CLOWN!" Axel shrieked, running out with a suitcase flying after him. Sometimes, I wonder how someone as delicate and petite as Xion can be able to throw things that are so massive... I shook my head to forget about the distractions and walked into the living room.
Roxy's POV:
"So, do you think I'll be able to see you again?" I asked her when we reached the door to her father's suite.
"Of course. Here," she gave me a torn piece of paper. "My number." Her face was an adorable shade of pink.
"I'll call you when I have the chance, sweetheart." I smiled more than I ever did when her face was dangerously close to resembling Axel's hair.
"O-Okay..." I felt as if we were both waiting for something. That's when I realized, for the first time in my entire existence, that I was nervous around her.
"Uh, you know, I never really do this to girls that I just met, but I feel like I want to..."
"W-Want to what?" I quickly kissed her on the cheek and turned around.
"G-Good morning, N-Naminé!" I left before she could even react and walked down the hall as fast as I could without turning back. When I turned the corner, I sighed out in relief. I didn't hear any indignant yells or some big dude, supposedly her "dad," run out after me.
Well, she practically didn't reject me... That's a good sign, right?
Me: Lol, I'm sorry. I just wanted it to end there for now.
Sora: We weren't going to let the sisters find each other that easily... Even though they're both in the same hotel... xD
Me: Oh shut it, you! Oh and here are what I thought were the songs that fit these specific scenes:
~Roxas and Naminé were both listening to the chorus of Savior by Black Veil Brides when they were in the lobby and when Naminé talks about Kairi, the song from Kingdom Hearts, Treasured Memories.
~When Sora and Kairi were fighting over the charm, and when Axel and Xion come into that scene, I repeated one of the songs from Naruto. I think all of you should know the theme Fooling Mode even though you might not be a total fangirl/boy :3
~OH! And the song that Kairi always hums or sings is Naminé's Theme! :D
Sora: You can all search up these songs and themes on our trusty Youtube ;D
Me: Alrighty, it's time for me to leave! Later! ~Grace :')
