Author's Note: This chapter is going to be a little SoraxKairi fluff so enjoy and remember they are already going out so there's a lil more to it. I don't think I need to change the rating for this chapter but just be advised that there's a lil more than just kissing, but it's not porn or anything. It also has violence in it. If I'd have to change the rating for this chapter it would be for violence.
Chapter 9: Big Trouble
Kairi's POV:
I was starting to get a little annoyed with Riku for not hanging out with Sora and I. Since he and Selphie started going out he's been spending all his time with her. Then at the homecoming two weeks ago I saw how happy he was with her and how happy Selphie looked. Ever since then I couldn't stop thinking about it. My life had completely turned around since I had the fight with Tifa. She and Vie were my enemies now. I wanted my best friend back. True that I have Sora and Riku, but it's not the same. I wish I could find the courage to talk to her. I keep thinking she'll just reject me and I wouldn't blame her after what I said to her. It was now the last day before thanksgiving break. I sat at lunch in silence and kept glancing over at Selphie. She and Riku were sitting together laughing at a different table.
"Hey. What's with you, Kairi?" I heard Sora ask me.
"Huh?" I asked snapping back into reality. "Oh nothing."
"Nuh-ah, don't give me that. What's wrong? You've been acting strange lately."
"I'm sorry. It's just… well I feel really stupid for the way I've been treating Selphie. I guess I want my best friend back. I think I'm kinda getting jealous of Naminé because she spends so much time with her." I replied.
"Why don't you just apologize?"
"It's not that simple, Sora."
"Why not?" he asked.
"Because it just isn't. I have a plan to apologize I just need to wait for a good time. I'm just not going to insult her anymore like I used to. I feel really bad for that."
"It's okay. I'm sure it'll all work out." He replied as he kissed me on the cheek.
"Yeah. You're right."
The bell rang for lunch to end. We got up and Sora placed his hand in mine. We walked to class together. PE was always dodge ball on Fridays so we were going to have fun. As we changed and got back to the gym the coach picked me and Tifa to be the captains. We picked our teams. I made sure to get Riku, Sora, Tidus, Axel, Selphie, and Arixia. I was going to pick my sister Naminé but Tifa called her. I didn't like being on the opposite team of my sister. Oh well I guess this could be fun. The game went for a long time. After a while it was down to me and Tifa. The coach blew his whistle and announced a sudden death round for us because we only had ten minutes left of class. We both walked to the middle of the gym where we were supposed to shake hands. Right. We then walked back about six feet where a ball was placed on the ground. We picked it up at the same time. She glared at me and I glared back. The whistle blew and Tifa and I threw our balls I dodged hers and mine hit her square in the chest. The whole class cheered for me as we went to the changing rooms. As I walked out of the girls' locker room and into the gym I saw Tifa flirting with Sora! I ran up to her.
"What do you think you're doing?!" I yelled.
"I'm just having a conversation." She stated coolly.
"Not with my boyfriend you're not!"
"Not for long."
"Is that a threat?"
"Maybe it is maybe it isn't. No one will ever know." She replied as she started to walk away.
"You're just a boyfriend stealer because you're a slut who can't find her own man!" I screamed at her.
She came running back at me. Sora stepped in front of me and blocked her as she balled up her fist and threw it towards me.
"Don't touch her!" he replied. She glared at him and then at me.
"You'll regret this." she replied.
"Like I haven't heard that before." I snapped.
"Who said I was talking to you?!" she replied as she walked away.
"What do you think she meant by that?" I asked Sora.
"I don't know. Probably trying to scare us. It won't work with me."
"Thanks for sticking up for me."
"No problem." He replied as he quickly glanced around, took my wrist and pulled me behind the bleachers.
"What are you doing?" I giggled as he started to kiss my neck.
His mouth traveled to my lips and we couldn't pull away from each other. We continued making out as he unbuttoned my shirt a little and the bell rang for us to go to class. I pulled away from him out of breath.
"We need to get to class." I replied knowing that we still had a couple minutes and feeling like I wanted more.
"We still have a couple minutes." He replied as his hand traveled to my breasts and he continued to make out with me. I pulled him closer and allowed him to. After another couple of minutes he pulled his hand off and pulled away from me. "Now we should probably get to class."
I giggled as I buttoned my shirt back up and smoothed it out. Sora kissed me one last time and walked out from underneath the bleachers. I started to walk out and ran into him. I looked up and saw the coach glaring down at Sora. Uh-oh. Sora pushed me back underneath the bleachers and looked up at the coach.
"Fischer. Why haven't you left for class yet? Who was under there with you?" he asked.
"No one sir. I just—"
"Don't lie. Tell me who's under there with you or you'll be serving a detention Monday."
No! I can't let Sora do this! It's my fault too. I tried to get past him but he kept pushing me back. Finally I pushed him and came out.
"Miss Hakira. What a pleasant surprise. You two are aware that PDA is against school rules?" he asked as sternly.
"Yes, sir." We both replied.
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to give you both a detention. The Monday after the break. Is that clear?"
"Yes, sir." We both replied again.
"Now get to class." He scolded as we started walking.
"Why did you come out like that?" Sora asked me as we left the gym.
"I wasn't going to let you get into trouble for something I was involved in." I replied.
"It was my idea, Kairi. You should've just let me handle it."
"No. I was part of it. If you're going to get into trouble for that then so am I."
"Okay. I just didn't want you to—"
"It's okay. A detention isn't that bad. It could've been worse."
"I guess you're right. See you after class." He replied.
It was now the middle of seventh period. I was finishing up my Spanish work and noticed Vie was bothering Selphie again. I wanted to slap her. Riku was gone for time being because he had been called to the office. Vie was throwing things at her and insulting her. She and Tifa were laughing their heads off. I sat there in silence wanting to do something. All of a sudden Selphie got up and ran from the classroom. I could tell she was in tears. I glared at Vie and Tifa.
"What did you do?"
"Like we'd tell you." Vie sneered.
"You guys are such bitches! How do you live even with yourselves?" I snapped back as I turned back to my Spanish.
"Aw, sticking up for the whiny little baby?" she stated sarcastically.
"Stop." I replied.
"I don't feel like it. Besides if everything goes according to plan Selphie won't have any friends by Christmas. She'll be so embarrassed she'll have to transfer schools."
"You won't touch her! I won't let you insult her anymore! I can't take it! You think because you're a senior you can do whatever you want! Well I'm here to tell you! When you get out of high school you're going to be the one everyone makes fun of! You're gonna be the one wishing you had friends! And someday you'll end up working for people like me so I'd keep my big mouth shut if I were you! All you'll ever be is a sluttish bitch!" I exclaimed.
Tifa got up from her desk and slapped me across the face. I jumped up and slapped her back. She started to pull my hair as I grabbed hers. The desk turned over as I threw her over it. We swung at each other and both hit each other's jaw. We fell to the ground and my lip was cut as it hit the corner of the desk. I jumped back up and continued swinging at her. I was about to hit her again when I felt someone pull me off her. I looked behind me to see Riku holding me back and looked back at Tifa to see her being held back by another boy in the class. We were fighting to get out of the grip so we could kill each other.
"Let go of me, Riku!" I yelled as I struggled to get back to Tifa.
"Stop it, Kairi!" He yelled back to me. "It's not worth it! That's enough!"
"What is going on here?!" The teacher yelled as she walked back in. Tifa and I stopped struggling. "Both of you to the office now!" We walked out of the classroom toward the office.
"This isn't over." She smirked as we walked in.
After a few minutes we were called into the principle's office. He lectured us and tried to get the story. In the end we both got ISS on Monday. Great. What a good start to my Thanksgiving break. Now I have to look forward to ISS and detention when I get back. Oh well it was worth it to defend Selphie. We were sent back to class. I don't see why considering we only had ten minutes left. Selphie was back in her seat and Riku was trying to comfort her. She looked up at me with a confused look on her face. I knew Riku had told her that I'd defended her. I sat down and tried to ignore everything. The bell finally rang. I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door.
"Kairi!" I heard someone yell. I turned around to see Selphie. "I just wanted to say thanks. I don't know what you said when you defended me but thank you." She said as she walked past me.
I stood there for a minute and ran out of school. I started walking home when I heard a horn honk and my brother yell for me. He had pulled up beside me in his black Jaguar.
"Where's Naminé?" I asked him as I got in the car.
"She said she was walking home with a guy named Roxas."
"He's not just some guy, Kaiyo. He's her boyfriend." I told him.
"Yeah. Whatever." He replied as he took off.
I walked in my room set my stuff down and sat at my desk. I did my stupid weekend homework to get it out of the way. I finished and looked up at the clock. It was 5:15 and Sora hadn't called me yet. We were supposed to be going on a date tonight at six. I picked up my cell phone and called him.
Sora's POV:
I walked home by myself after school, because Roxas was walking Naminé home and Kairi got a ride with her brother. She didn't talk to me after school but that's okay because we had a date tonight I'd see her then. What if she's upset with me for getting her into trouble? No she wouldn't be. She showed herself. I tried not to get her in trouble. I walked into my house, went upstairs to my room and dropped my stuff on the ground. I lay on my bed and glance at the clock. 4:00. Two hours before my date with Kairi. I started to get ready and my mom came into my room in a panic.
"Have you seen your sister?" she asked me.
"No, I thought she was walking home with her friend today."
"Yumi's mother just called and said Kría isn't there. Yumi hasn't seen her since last period."
"What?! Where could she possibly be?!" I exclaimed.
"I have no idea." My mom replied as she started to cry. "I've tried everywhere I can think of."
"I'll call Roxas." I replied as I picked up my cell phone.
It rang twice and he picked up.
"Kría's missing. Have you seen her?"
"No."
"Mom's all worried and now that it's 4:30 and she's still not home I'm getting worried too!" I started panicking.
"We'll find her. I'll help you. I'm gonna go look around the school and you check the beach." He replied.
"Right." I hung up and ran out the door.
I ran to the beach and looked everywhere for her. I even went to the other island and searched the secret place, the shack, the cove, and the tree house. Still no Kría. I looked at my watch 5:15. Where could she be? She's only eight! As I was running back to the docks to go back to the main island my phone vibrated. I looked at it and saw it was Kairi.
"Hey, Kairi. I'm really sorry but I'm gonna have to cancel our date tonight."
"That's okay. What's going on?"
"Kría's missing. She never came home from school. I've been looking for over an hour now. I've checked the beach Roxas is checking the school."
"Okay. I hope you find her soon."
"Thanks I'll talk to you later."
"Do you need me to help?"
"I think we can manage. Roxas is helping too." I replied as I heard a beep on my phone. I glanced at it. Roxas. "Kairi, I have to go I'll call you later. Love you!"
Kairi's POV:
"Love you too." I replied as he hung up.
After Sora told me Kría was missing I started to get really worried. What if Tifa's involved? No way. She wouldn't pick on a little eight year old. Would she? Oh no! I grabbed my phone and ran out the door.
"I'm going out! I'll be back soon!" I called.
I took off running. Sora said he checked the beach and Roxas is checking the school. What other place would she go? The park. I have a bad feeling I'm right about this. I really don't want anything to happen to Kría. I ran to the park and saw Tifa and six other girls with her, one being Vie. Two of them had Kría pinned to the ground and one was hitting her as the others laughed. I filled with rage at seeing them hit an innocent eight year old girl.
"Does it really take seven girls to beat up an eight year old?" I insulted.
"You're just in time for the big finale." She replied.
"What are you talking about?"
Tifa signaled something to the girls and one took out a knife. She raised it as if she were going to stab Kría.
"No!" I screamed. The girl stopped and looked up.
"You care about this girl?" Tifa smirked.
"Don't hurt her! She's got nothing to do with us! If you want to continue our fight then go ahead but keep her out of this!" I exclaimed.
"You'll be her replacement then?"
"Yes! Just let her go! Please!" I begged.
She signaled something to the six other girls, they let go of Kría and ran over to grab me. I was forced to the ground. Kría got up and stood there watching.
"Kría! Get out of here! You're family's worried about you!"
I struggled to get the girls off me. I managed to get half of them off and struggled with the other three.
"If you don't get out of here we'll kill you too!" Tifa yelled at her.
Kría ran off as I was once again forced to the ground. Tifa came up to me and punched me in the face. She continued to hit me as I lay on the ground unable to move. After a while she took out a knife. I swallowed hard. My heart was pounding with fear.
"You should choose your battles more carefully. If you hadn't turned your back on me you wouldn't be in this predicament. You see when you turn your back on a Coyote there are serious consequences. You're biggest mistake was messing with the leader of the girls side! Me!" she smirked as she raised the knife and stabbed me in the shoulder. I cringed in pain as she stabbed me again. I could feel the blood staining my shirt and the intense pain in my shoulder. I tried to struggle but all I could do was lay there in pain and taste the blood in my mouth.
Sora's POV:
I had just gotten back to the docks on the main island and tied up my boat. I turned around and ran home. As I turned on my street someone ran into me. We were both out of breath. I looked up to see that it was Kría who had run into me.
"Kría!" I exclaimed as I hugged her. "Kría, what happened? Are you okay? Where were you? We were worried sick about you!"
"I'm fine!" She exclaimed. "But you have to help Kairi!"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"A bunch of high school girls are attacking her! They're gonna kill her!" She exclaimed.
"High school girls gonna kill Kairi?!" Tifa. The bitch. "Where is she?"
"The park." She answered.
"Run to her house and tell her brother then get home and stay home."
She nodded and took off. I ran toward the park. Kairi, why? I told you we had it handled. Please be okay. I got to the park and saw seven girls gathered around something. Two of them I recognized as Tifa and Vie. She had a knife raised. I ran up and grabbed her wrist.
"Stop!"
"Aww… now the boyfriend comes to the rescue." She said sarcastically. All of a sudden three guys were holding me back. I recognized one as Seifer. "Did you honestly think I wouldn't have a back-up plan?" she smirked as turned back to Kairi.
"No! Don't touch her!" I yelled as I struggled to get free from the three boys holding me back.
"There's no point in trying to fight back." She laughed. "You're being held by the best of the Coyotes. The leader of the boys' side as well as 2NC and 3NC. There's no way you'll get free."
She turned back to Kairi and I watched as she stabbed Kairi in the side. I cringed. I tried to help and all I can do is sit here and watch as they kill Kairi in front of me.
"Let her go." I heard a voice demand behind me.
"And who the hell do you think you are?" Tifa asked.
Kaiyo's POV:
I started out the door to go hang out with friends. I closed the door and started to get in my car as I felt someone tap my shoulder I looked around to see a little girl about eight.
"What do you want?" I asked annoyingly.
"Are you Kaiyo Hakira?" she asked me.
"Depends on who's asking." I replied.
"I'm Sora's little sister, Kria. He sent me to get you because Kairi's in trouble at the park!" She exclaimed.
I got in my car and quickly drove to the park. I got out and ran to see seven girls surrounding Kairi and three guys holding back Sora.
"Let her go." I demanded.
"Who the hell are you?" she asked me rudely.
"That's none of your business." I replied. "I said let her go."
"I don't have to listen to you! Just kill her already." She exclaimed as she turned to the other girls.
"Leave her alone!"
"You must be someone important if you care about her this much."
"I'd say a brother is pretty important." I snapped.
One of the guys that was holding Sora came up behind me and tried to grab me. I grabbed his arm and threw him over my shoulder. The two other guys came running after me. I roundhouse kicked one and punched the other in the stomach making him double over. I punched him again and pushed him to the ground. Some of the girls came after me with knives drawn. I knocked the knives out of their hands and pushed them away from me. They fell to the ground tripping over the guys and looked up in shock. There was only one girl hovering over Kairi. She took her knife and raised it. I ran over there as fast as I could and got in between the girl and my sister.
Sora's POV:
The guys who were holding me let go and ran for Kaiyo. He knocked them all to the ground and the girls came after him with knives. He somehow got them all to the ground without actually hitting them. I looked over at Kairi to see her barely conscious. Tifa's hovering over Kairi about to kill her. I started to run up to her and Kaiyo ran past me. He got in between Tifa and Kairi. I cringed and looked up to see that Tifa had stabbed Kaiyo in the arm. He pushed her away and took the knife from her.
"If you value you're life then leave now." He replied to her.
She got up and ran. The rest of the girls got up and ran as well. The guys jumped up and followed. I ran over to them.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." He replied. "It's not that bad. How's Kairi?"
"We need to get her to a hospital." I replied.
A few minutes later the ambulance came and took her to the hospital. Kaiyo went with her. I ran all the way to the hospital. As soon as I could see Kairi I ran into her room. Her mom and her little sister Naminé were already there.
"Is she gonna be okay?" I asked.
"She's gonna be just fine." Her mom replied. "She'll just have to stay here for a couple days until we can get more blood in here system." I nodded and walked over to the side of her bed. Her mom and her brother and sister walked out and left me with her.
"Kairi…"
"Sora." she replied.
"Kairi, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, Sora. I volunteered for it."
"What?! Kairi, why would you—"
"I did it to save Kría. They were going to kill her because of me. I couldn't let that happen."
"You almost got yourself killed in the process! Next time please get someone to help. I don't want to lose you. I love you too much. If I ever lost you I'd die myself!"
"Thanks. I love you too. And next time I won't try and do it by myself."
I leaned down and kissed her passionately. We didn't pull away until the nurse came in and told me that Kairi needed to rest. I pulled away from her promising that I'd be back.
Author's Note: There's chapter nine. Kind of boring but some of what happened will have a big part later on. I'm sorry for any confusion about the character Talitha. It is supposed to be Selphie's little sister and I guess I just had a blond moment when I made Sora say Kairi's sister Talitha. Grr… I hate when I do that. Anyway it is changed now so no worries anymore. Please review!
