Sibling Rivalry (Sora, Kairi, Riku, and Namine side of the story)

Chapter 9: Just The Two of Us:

Kairi could hear a noise in the darkness. She let out a groan as she closed her eyes tight. Slowly, she opened her eyes as she woke out of her sleep. When she woke up, she found herself sitting on the floor with her back against the wooden wall. Tired, she looked around. Near the door, she saw that it was blocked off by the wooden beams that fell from the ceiling. She sat up straight against the wall. "Sora?"

Nearby, he pulled on the beams as he struggled. Worried, she stood up off of the floor. The storm caused more damage than she thought. With one final grab and pull, he managed to move the beams out of the way and let them crash on the floor. He managed to clear a path to the door so that they could get out. Afterwards, he looked back toward her determined. "Let's grab our stuff and get out of here. We need to see what's going on."

Kairi nodded and went to the other side of the room. She grabbed their bags that were sitting on the other side. He took ahold of his bag from her hand. They managed to go through the remaining beams and made their way outside. Once they made it outside, they looked surprised. Not only had the storm caused a lot of damage on the inside of where they stayed, but it seemed to have caused a lot of damage to the beach as well. There was debris scattered around and trees leaning closer toward the ground. As they walked, they were worried.

"Help!" Suddenly, they heard a call nearby. Right away, they looked over toward another beach hut near theirs. "Help!" they heard the cry again.

She looked over at him concerned as he looked ahead serious. "What should we do?" Sora took off running toward the call. Kairi's eyes widened. "Sora!" He rushed inside of the rental. She ran behind him and stepped near the entrance, worried.

He glanced back at her. "Stay here!"

Kairi didn't want him to get hurt. Impatiently, she waited as her mind debated about what she could do to help. Despite what he said, she headed forward to help him too. Once she stepped near the door, Sora stepped out and helped an elderly woman step outside. The woman breathed out a sigh of relief. She was startled, but unharmed. "Ah! Thank you young man!"

Kairi breathed out as she placed her hand against her chest. She was thankful that Sora was okay again. Nearby some of the locals ran toward him. Two had escorted the woman as the others looked thankful toward Sora. Concerned, Kairi ran over to him. "Are you okay?!"

Sora nodded and smiled so that she wouldn't be worried. "Yeah."

Then, she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. There was a small stream of red rolling down his arm. "Sora…You're hurt."

He twisted his arm toward him to get a better look. He was surprised that he didn't notice. Worried that he had hurt himself further, she grabbed onto his hand. She noticed that his fingers were red and scratched. He smiled to assure her. "Really… I'm okay." Sora looked around concerned about what was going on around him. His expression changed to determined. "Listen! There could be others in trouble. I'm going to go help. They might need it." He slipped his hands out of hers and took off running.

Kairi reached out worried. "But-!"

He waved toward her and smiled for comfort. "Don't worry! I'll be right back!"

Her feet slowed to a stop as she watched him take off. Kairi really hoped that Sora would be all right. She still wished that he would have taken care of himself before going off to help. While he was off, she thought of ways that she could help as well. She wouldn't stand by and wait. Nearby, she noticed a few of the beach staff standing in front of the information hut and walked toward them. She stood beside them. The two girls looked off toward one of the beach rentals. Across the way, Kairi spotted Sora escorting a mother and her two kids out of one of the beach huts. The mother held her son in her arms as the little girl held onto Sora's hand. Sora kneeled down in front of her as he grinned to cheer her up. Soon, he got her to giggle. Sora smiled toward the kids as their mother looked grateful. Kairi couldn't help but smile. He was always kind to strangers, but it was times like these his kindness really shined.

"Awe!" Kairi looked over curious toward the girls as they smiled. "He's so sweet."

"He's kind of cute."

A gentle, relaxed smile came on Kairi's lips. "Yeah…" When she looked over, she noticed that the girls were staring at her surprised and curious. She mirrored their reaction. "Oh! Sorry! I was just wondering if you needed any help."

One of the girls nodded. "Sure if you like! We're directing people for when the shuttle gets here. You can hand out any water for anyone who needs it."

"Since it's been kind of quiet, you can wait for the shuttle if you want."

"I'll stay." She pointed over toward Sora. "Besides, I can't leave without that guy over there. As long as he's helping, I can't just sit back and do nothing." The girls looked curious as to who they were to each other. Taking notice, she answered their silent question. Kairi placed her hands behind her back. "He's my boyfriend."

"Oh!" the girls replied.

Internally, hearing the word 'boyfriend' always made her happy. As time passed, she stood with the girls and helped hand out bottles of water to the people that were still there. During that time, she wondered how Sora was doing. They had been standing outside for some time. Some of the staff that she saw from before had stopped to grab water. "How is everything?" One of the girls on the staff asked.

"We've been walking around everywhere. I think that everyone is accounted for. Having a few, extra volunteers really helped."

Kairi smiled as she overheard them. Inside, she was proud of Sora for helping. After waiting a little longer, she spotted him searching around. Happy, Kairi waved her hand. "Sora!" Sora sent a smile toward her and headed over. She grabbed a bottle before they were face to face. "Here! I'm sure you haven't had any yet." Nervously, he smiled and drunk some water. As he stood, she noticed that he still hadn't taken care of the scratches on his arms and fingers which made her frown. All of a sudden, he felt her grab his arm. There was a serious look on her face. "You've done all you can. Now let me help you." Nervously, Sora grinned. Further along the beach, they found a medical tent. "Excuse me." The nurse turned around to them. Kairi pushed Sora forward. "I have someone here who's hurt."

The nurse smiled toward him. "Please sit."

Sora sat down on the table as the nurse grabbed the bandages. She grabbed some tweezers and started removing some of the splinters he had in his fingers. Since Sora was done helping, the thought crossed Kairi's mind that they needed to get back to the island. As he sat, getting bandaged, Kairi looked over at Sora. "I'll be right back."

Sora looked curious. "Where are you going?"

Kairi smiled to assure him. "I'll be okay. Just make sure you take care of yourself," she said with a stern hint in her voice. She turned around and walked out onto the beach. As she looked around, she couldn't believe all the damage that happened in one night. She placed her hand on her chest. They were lucky that they came out with minimum injury, but mainly she was lucky to have Sora with her when it happened. Done reflecting on what happened, she focused on the mission at hand. They had to find a way back to their island. Maybe there was a chance that the raft was okay and they could sail back today. She walked to the other side of the beach. She traveled out toward the edge of the water where they had stored the raft near some trees. Once she looked, the raft wasn't there anymore. She searched around and soon after, noticed parts of the raft floating in the water. Kairi let out a sigh. There was no way that they were getting back by the raft. For now, they were stuck on the beach. Afterwards, she turned around and headed back toward the medical tent. Nearby, Kairi noticed a man directing some of the other emergency helpers on the beach. There had to be another way to get back to their island. "Excuse me?" She approached the man.

The tall, older man in a white jacket and camouflage underneath turned around to her. "Yes?"

Kairi looked a little concerned. "We need to get back to Destiny Islands. Is there any way that we could get there now?"

The man lifted his head as he looked serious. "Destiny Islands? Hmm..." He pointed over toward the left in the distance. "It's the island over there right?"

"Yes!" Kairi answered.

He looked down at her serious. "I'm sorry, but the waters are still too rough to go that far because of the storm. There won't be a boat going out there yet, especially not with another possible storm on the way. For now, we're asking everyone to take shelter in the city nearby. It would be better if you find a place to stay until you can take a boat back to your homeland." Kairi's eyes lowered, worried. They had no way to get back home. "I'm sorry. Excuse me." The man leading the rescue left from her side.

Kairi looked back, concerned. What were they going to do now? Afterwards, she headed back toward the medical tent. Sora noticed the look of concern on her face. It made him a little concerned as well. "What did you find out?"

She shook her head a little. "Well we're not getting back by the raft and there's no way back to the island right now. I guess we should catch the shuttle that's heading into the next city and find somewhere to stay there."

Sora stood up. "If that's what we should do." Sora stepped toward her and placed his hand on her shoulder as Kairi looked down uneasy. "We'll be alright. We'll wait it out until we can go home." She breathed out. The longer they wait to get back, the more someone was bound to notice that they were missing. They headed out of the tent with their bags toward the waiting shuttle. As they rode into the city, she gazed out of the window. Sitting beside her, Sora rested his head against her shoulder. His eyes were closed as he breathed softly in and out. He had been quiet since they rode. When she called for him, he didn't respond. It was then she realized that he must've fallen asleep. With everything he had done, she knew that he had to be tired. Apart of her felt bad for leaving him to stay up during the night to watch over her, but mainly she was grateful to have him there and safe.

Once they made it into city, they found a nice hotel to stay in. Kairi set up the arrangements at the front desk before they headed to their room. Once they walked inside, they saw one bed, a mini fridge, microwave, and sofa. They sat their stuff on the sofa. Kairi walked ahead and checked out the bathroom on the other side of the room. The inside looked really nice with a tub in front and a small shower boxed by glass on the side. It seemed they had all the necessities they needed. Sora plopped down on the bed with his back against it as he closed his eyes. He still felt exhausted. Kairi scooted in beside him. Her hand brushed against his hair. "You should sleep. I know you must be tired."

Listening, he moved further up on the bed and leaned against the pillows. Within seconds, he fell asleep. A concerned look appeared. He seemed very worn out still. She reached over and grabbed onto his hand. There were small bandages wrapped around parts of his fingers. Kairi let out a sigh and stood up. She never expected this to happen. She wondered if this trip was a bad idea. Afterwards, she went over to the chair where her bag was and searched through to make sure that everything was there. Afterwards, she searched through his bag to make sure everything he had was there. Inside, she spotted something familiar. She reached inside and pulled out the lucky charm she made. She couldn't help but smile. It made her happy that he kept it this whole time even when he traveled. As she held it in her hand, she walked over and placed a kiss against his forehead. The kiss didn't wake him at all. He must've been more exhausted than she first thought. Instead, he kept snoring. Silently, she giggled. Since he was sleeping, she figured she could do something nice for him. She changed into different clothes and headed out of the room. Neither one of them had eaten since the day before so she figured that he would be hungry after he woke up. Outside of the hotel, she found a local restaurant and grabbed some food for both of them.

Inside of the kitchen, Namine sat on a stool with her notepad as she listened to her mother frantically on the phone. Outside, she could hear the rain pouring down from the storm. "I've been trying to get in touch with Kairi, but her phone seems to be off. She mentioned that she was staying with a friend. I was wondering if she was with you."

Selphie shook her head as she sat in her room. "No! I haven't seen her since school was let out. Is everything okay?"

Her mother sighed, disappointed. "Everything is fine. If you see her, please tell her to call me." Namine listened as her mother continued to make more phone calls. Namine became more worried herself. No one had seen or heard from Kairi. Later, her father came and started to comfort her mother. "No one has seen her!"

They sat down at the table. "Calm down. I'm sure that we can figure out a way to find her."

Her mother looked concerned. "There has be some way that we can."

"Maybe there's something we're missing. Let's check." They searched for clues around her room, but found nothing that would help. Her mother looked at her father. "Maybe I should call the police."

"Let's try her one more time," her father suggested. His wife nodded.

Inside of the hotel room, Kairi sat on the bed as Sora was still sleeping. In the background, the television was turned low so that it wouldn't wake him. Outside, she could hear the rain pouring down. It really was better not to travel back today. She wondered if they could tomorrow. All of a sudden, she heard her phone ring. Quickly, she picked it up so that it wouldn't wake him. "Yes?" she whispered.

"Kairi! Are you okay?!"

The yell was almost enough to take the phone away from her ear, but she was more surprised by who was at the other end. Since they were in the city, she must've had a signal again. "Y-Yes…I'm fine."

"We've been so worried about you! You said that you were visiting with a friend, but when I called everyone I knew, you were nowhere to be found! Where are you?! When are you coming home?!"

Nervously, she looked toward the side. "I…I'm not on the island… and I'm not sure when I'll be able to come home."

"What are you doing off of the island?!" After she asked her about what happened, Kairi explained where she had gone. Over the phone, she could hear her mother sighed.

"I'm sorry…" Kairi said quietly. Mainly, she was just relieved that Kairi was okay. Soon, Kairi broke the silence between them. "There's no need to worry. I'm fine. I just…can't get back to the island right now because of the storm."

"Yes… I heard that some places were badly hit. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes," Kairi assured her.

"It must've been dangerous for you to travel alone. The last time we spoke, you said that you were staying with a friend. Did someone else go with you?" There was a long silence before her mother spoke again, "Kairi…? This friend that you were spending time with…Would it happen to be with Sora?" Kairi's eyes widened in shock. She turned her head toward Sora who was still asleep. How did her mother figure that out? She remained silence so her mother continued, "I called around to all of your friends, but none of them knew where you were. Then, I called Sora's mother. She was worried about him as well and hadn't seen him. She happened to mention the same thing that he would be spending time with a friend of his." Kairi looked toward the side uneasy. There was another moment of silence. "Kairi?"

There was no use hiding it anymore. "Y-Yes… We were only planning to go away for a day and come back, but then the storm had hit. Now we're…here." She heard another heavy sigh over the phone. "I'm sorry about this. I'll let you know as soon as I can come back."

"I don't condone taking off with him like this, but…" She let out another sigh. Mainly, she was just relieved that she was safe. "Just…be careful… Let me know as soon as you come home…"

Kairi nodded. "I will."

"Are you okay otherwise? Do you have enough munny? Are you eating well?"

Kairi smiled a little. "Yes mom. Everything is okay. I will talk to you soon." After saying good bye, she hung up the phone. Kairi breathed out a sigh of relief. She was expecting to get yelled at, but things went smoother than expected. At least for now… When she looked over, she noticed a pair of blue eyes staring back at her. Nervously, she smiled. "Sorry…I didn't want to wake you. I tried to stay as quiet as I could."

Sora sat up on his elbows. "It's okay."

She smiled a little. "Are you hungry? I brought us some food."

Still a little tired, he leaned her head against her arm. "I could eat."

Kairi grinned. She was pretty sure that she heard his stomach growl as soon as he said that. She tried to get up, but she felt herself being held down by Sora's arm. She giggled as she fell backwards and accepted his embrace. "I can't warm it up for you if you don't let me up." Her fingers brushed through his hair.

"Are you in trouble?" he asked.

"Probably…" Kairi looked down at him. "But no matter what happens, I'm glad I came on this trip with you." She let out a smile. "You should probably talk to your mom soon before my mom does. I don't want you to get in too much trouble."

The two laughed a little and then looked at each other. "I'm just glad you're okay."

She let out grateful smile. "I'm all right thanks to you. You saved me again." She continued stroking his hair. "You were so brave out there…" she whispered. Her eyes lowered to a close as she embraced him. Worried built inside of her at the thought of what could have happened.

Curious, Sora tilted his head back toward her to see her worried look. He reached his hand up and brushed the tip of his fingers across her cheek. "Hey…" She grabbed onto his bandaged fingers and leaned her chin against his fingers as she closed her eyes. He sat up and turned toward her. "I'm okay. Really. Try not to think about it. It's over now." Kairi tilted her head toward his forehead as she closed her eyes. Sora smiled. "We're here now and it might be a while before we can get back so let's enjoy it."

Kairi knew he was right. Sora was about to get up, but she had pushed him back down. "I told you that I would get it. Just relax." There were no arguments from him. She grabbed the food from the fridge she bought earlier and heated it in the microwave. Together, they sat on the bed. As the watched television, they talked and laughed as they ate. When they were close to finished, she reached over and touched the tips of his hair. "I think it's time for you to wash your hair. It looks like you got some sand in it." Once an idea came to mind, she smiled. "I'll help you wash it!"

His fingers ran through his spikes. "You don't have to."

"I want to. Besides we should probably clean up after being in that storm," she suggested.

He nodded, agreeing. "Sure! You can go first if you want. I'll probably take longer."

A light tint of red came to her cheeks as she looked down nervous. "Well…I was thinking…it would be easier for me to wash your hair if…we both went in together…" At her words, his eyes widened as his body froze. Slowly, his mouth stopped moving. Red appeared in his cheeks, matching her. She noticed the expression on his face. "W-We don't have to…if you don't want to..."

Sora shook his head. No! No… It's not that!" As he looked toward the side, he scratched his cheek with his finger. "I mean…you don't have to…"

Kairi smiled to assure him. "I don't mind. It would be easier to wash your hair that way. We wouldn't have to rush waiting on each other." When he lifted his eyes, he could see her waiting for his response. Soon, he nodded. Nervously, she got up from the bed. "I'll…I'll…start the bath now if that's okay…" At a loss for words, he watched as she smiled and disappeared into the bathroom. Nearby, he could hear the water running. He was still stunned that she suggested the idea. After he heard the water stop, he started to get nervous. He stood up from the bed and headed inside.

From across the room, their eyes met. Bubbles filled the surface of the tub as she sat inside. Her clothes were folded on the floor nearby. Sora rubbed the back of his head uneasy as he tried to calm himself. "Are you sure you want me… in there...with you…?" A little nervous, she nodded as she gave a nervous smile. Blushing, he turned away from her as he grabbed the ends of his shirt and pulled it over his head. As he changed out of his clothes, Kairi looked away. A little heat flooding into her cheeks at the thought of what he was doing. Soon, he stepped in the bath on the opposite side of her.

Silence filled the room. Red came to both of their faces as they looked away from each other. This was another new experience for them, but one she was willing to take with him. Kairi pushed aside her nervousness and looked across from her. Relaxed, she reached for his arm as she smiled toward him. "Come on." Sora followed her gentle pull and had him sit in front of her. His back leaned against the front of her body as her legs were bent on both sides of his waist. Kairi reached over on the side of the bath and grabbed the shampoo. She rubbed the shampoo between her hands and then started rubbing it in his hair. She noticed that he was leaning away from her. She smiled toward him. She figured that he must've still been nervous about how they were. "Relax. I'm sure it's not often that someone gets to wash your hair," she joked. Her arms wrapped around his body which raised his nervousness. He could feel the front of her body pressed against his back. "It's just the two of us." Her eyes lowered to a close as she leaned the side of her head against his shoulder.

Sora breathed out and finally let himself lean against her. He became nestled between her legs as his head rested against her chest. He was surprised by how it felt to lean on her. It was like resting his head against pillow. Kairi let out a smile. She was glad to see him finally getting comfortable being around her. As her fingers rubbed shampoo through the strands of his hair, he tilted his head a little toward the side and opened his eyes. With a blush on his face, he glanced over toward her arm as he became curious. Soap covered over her chest. He turned his head back forward as he relaxed. "It's not so bad…being like this."

The two sat in silence as they relaxed. Several times her fingers ran through his spikes. They started to lean toward the sides. A curious thought came to her mind. Thoroughly, she brushed his hair down toward his neck. "When is the last time you really got into your hair? It stands up all the time." He shrugged against her. Then, a playful idea crossed his mind. He leaned his head back and rubbed his shampooed hair against her cheek. "Sora!" She saw the grin on his face as he tilted his head back and looked at her. She could see now what he was up to. A smirk appeared on her face. That was how he wanted to play...

Kairi splashed him with water as Sora moved back from her and used his hands to block. Both of them laughed loudly as they played around. All of their movement caused water to pour out of the tub from the side. He turned around fully toward her as they continued. His body pressed in close to hers as his hands grabbed onto her wrists so that she could no longer splash him.

All of a sudden, he noticed that her face changed into surprise, which he wondered why. As things were calm, his eyes traveled down. The soap that covered them was almost gone. He could see her uncovered body through the water. Then, he noticed how closely pressed he was between her thighs. The two stared at each other unsure of what to do next. Soon, he backed away toward to the other side of the bath. "Sorry…" he whispered nervously.

Kairi crossed her arms against her chest as she sat up and blushed a little. "It's okay…" she replied. She glanced over toward the shower that was nearby before she looked at him. "I should finish rinsing your hair. Don't want to get shampoo in your eyes." She stood and got out first. As one arm crossed over her chest, the other reached out toward him. He took her hand and stood up behind her. She led him over toward the shower. He sat on the bench that was inside as she used the detachable showerhead to rinse out the shampoo from his hair. Nervously, he looked down as she stood behind him. At first, he thought that things were awkward between them after what happened, but he noticed that she no longer seemed shy around him. Maybe she just felt more comfortable being open around him. "Wow!" her voice snapped him out of his thought. "You really do look different when you just let your hair hang." Kairi placed her finger to her chin. She slicked his hair toward the back of his neck. "That's a little better."

Sora grinned as he felt how slick his hair was. "You're going to make it back the way it was right? It's my signature look!" he joked.

She grinned as well. "Yes…!" Curious, she crossed her arms as she stared at him. "This takes some getting used to..."

Nervously, his eyes glanced at the floor. "Hey Kairi?"

Kairi snapped out of her thoughts. "Hm?"

He looked off to the side. "Isn't it strange…being like this…? Together…?"

She looked surprised, but then placed her arms behind her back. "I'll admit…it's a little strange… but…" She smiled a little. "...once we got used to being close to each other, I didn't really mind it. After all, it is just the two of us." She grabbed a towel that was hanging inside on the rack. "We'll have to see each other eventually…" When he lifted his head, he looked surprised. In front of him, she stood nervously as she had the towel over her arms. Red came to his cheeks, matching hers. "Right…?" Her words relaxed him more. She did make a good point. Then, he noticed the nervous look on her face. Kairi reached over and placed the towel over his head. "I'll…I'll finish drying…"

Things turned silence again. Then, Sora grabbed her arm which she looked surprised. He looked up as he grinned. Then, he pulled her in closer toward him and pressed a kiss against her stomach, near her bellybutton. A small gasp left her lips as heat filled her cheeks. His unexpected reaction surprised her. "You're right." She grinned. Playfully, he blew against her stomach which caught her to giggle.

She pressed the towel against his head and began drying his hair. "Stop it or I'll never get this done!" He listened and let her continue. A smile curved at her lips. After she was done, she straightened out his hair back toward his neck. For a moment, she took a good look at him. "You know? Maybe I could get used to this new look…" She placed her fingers toward her lips. "But I do like the old Sora look too." She grinned. "Either ways looks good on you." She placed the towel back on the rack. "It's getting late. I'll fix your hair tomorrow."

"Thanks Kairi." He took a moment to look at her before he gently smiled. "You look… really pretty…" Kairi looked over surprised as red rushed to her cheeks. Nervously, she walked away. Her reaction made him grin.

As the night went on, the two lied in bed together as they watched television. He lied on top of her stomach as she lied on her back. Things were peaceful as the night came to a close. Flipping through the channels, she managed to find a movie. "Do you mind if we watch this one? It's a romantic comedy."

"Up to you." He didn't mind whatever she watched. Quietly, they watched until it was over. She glanced down toward Sora. Since he didn't move, she assumed that he fell asleep again. Her fingers brushed lightly through his hair. It still took her some time to get used to his new hairstyle. Not tired yet, she flipped through some other channels. It didn't seem like there wasn't much on that late at night.

Eventually, she caught another movie on that she wasn't sure what it was about. As it went on, she looked surprised. Things had seemed romantic at first, but soon had turned into horror. Quickly, she raised her hand to her eyes unable to see the violent scene. She grabbed the remote and cut it off. Soon, she heard a laugh below her. Surprised, she jumped. She didn't realize that Sora was still awake. "What's so funny?"

Sora sat up on his hands. "I just remember watching this with my brothers once. I used to be scared when I was younger, but now it's just kind of funny how unreal it is." Kairi crossed her arms as she looked away, hoping that she wouldn't have nightmares. She turned off the television and placed the remote on the dresser. Sora took noticed and pulled her beside him. "Can't sleep?"

Her head rested against his arm. "Maybe in a little while. Just not yet."

He leaned his head against hers. "Then I'll stay up with you."

She shook her head. "You don't have to. I know it's been a long day and you've been helping-."

"I don't mind. Besides if you're still scared, I know one thing that might help," he teased. His fingers tickled her stomach which made her giggle.

"This isn't helping you know." She found a ticklish spot on his stomach which made him laugh as well. She lied beside him on her side as she grinned and faced him. "I'm glad that we get to spend some more time together."

"Me too." Playfully, Sora moved toward her as he pulled the covers over them. She let a squeal. As they struggled against each other, they couldn't help but laugh with each other. He moved in over her and pinned her to bed, but she managed to reverse it and pinned him instead underneath her. Her hands rested against his chest as she sat on top of his waist. Their laughter died down. It felt good to let loose like they haven't in a long time. His fingers grabbed onto the edge of the shirt she wore. "I see you like wearing my shirts now."

Kairi grinned. She had to admit she took a liking to them. "What can I say? They're really comfortable." Sora smiled as he played with the edge of her shirt. He lifted it a little pass her legs and revealed her white underwear underneath. Her hands went on top of his and pushed them back down as she playfully leaned forward and kissed his lips. Once she let go of his hands, they went on top of her back. He rubbed her as her shirt slid up a little. Slowly, his hands slid downwards along her side. She moved toward his neck and pressed her lips against his skin. She placed a few kisses against his chest. As he closed his eyes, he breathed out. The way she teased him started to get to him. He could feel her hips rub against his lower half.

Anxious, he lifted up as she sat on top of him. The move surprised her. On his lips, she could see a smile, but in his eyes, she could see his desire. On and off, they kissed each other softly. His hand rubbed along her back as she rested her hands against his chest. Both of them relaxed as the room was only filled with sounds of them. Breath escaped from their bodies. Another feeling came over him. His fingers grabbed onto the edges of her shirt. Silently, Kairi raised her arms above her as he lifted the shirt over his head. Sora tossed it aside on the bed. Surprised, she placed her hands against his shoulders as she stared into his eyes. "Sora?"

Sora's arms wrapped around her waist. "If it's too much, we can stop." Another wave of silence came between them. He tilted his head as he tried to read her. Thinking that she had changed her mind, he reached for the shirt she wore before.

Then, he felt her hand touch the top of his. "Wait." His eyes met hers. She let out a smile. "I was just thinking about after you saved me the first time and we were like this." She put her finger to her lips as she grinned. "I thought we were alone that time. At least, I know we definitely are now." Sora remembered that time as well. Kairi's arms wrapped around his neck. "I meant what I said then. I want to be with you." The more she gazed into his eyes, the more she began to feel relaxed. She was ready to take the next step with him. She nodded. "It's okay."

Sora leaned his head against her chest with his eyes closed. "Let me know if you want me to stop okay?"

Kairi leaned her head against his. "Okay."

The two parted and let their eyes meet. "We'll take our time…Start slow." In return, she nodded.

Soon after, Sora leaned in as he moved the strands of her long, red hair aside and placed his lips to her neck. Her eyes lowered to a close. Inside, her body was nervous about how things would go, but soon, that was replaced with another feeling. A jolt went throughout her whole body. Her fingers lightly grabbed onto his broad shoulders. A sigh left from her. His lips traveled along her jawline to her lips. Sora turned both of them over as they continued to kiss. Her back pressed against the bed as he came over her. His lips traveled down the middle of her chest toward her bellybutton. The tickling sensation caused her to giggle a bit. A few kisses were placed near the edge of her underwear before he lifted up from her a little. She became curious as he crawled over her again.

Slowly, his tongue brushed against the raised center of her left breast. A new feeling crossed over her body. Heat traveled across her cheeks as she closed her eyes. He switched over and continued with the other. A small sigh escaped from her lips as she felt another jolt throughout her body. Slowly, he tantalized her with the tips of his fingers, tracing the edges in an endless circle. He continued to gently squeeze her breast as his tongue continued to stroke her. The feeling of pleasure was overwhelming. Over time, her legs spread further apart. The lower half of her began to ache unbearably. Restless, her hand grabbed onto his left hand and slid it down her stomach. His eyes lifted to see the yearning look on her face.

Quickly, she moved in and kissed him fiercely. The assertive move surprised him. As she caressed the side of his neck, her tongue brushed against his bottom lip. He followed her back down onto the bed as his hand pressed against her back. Anxious, her body rubbed against his, more determined with each passing moment. His hand slid from her back to the side of her waist. Inside, the teasing started to get to her more as she felt him graze the skin of her stomach. His hand slid further down against her skin and slipped into her underwear. Patiently, her body waited as she relaxed with her eyes closed. The tips of his fingers brushed against her entrance and moved upwards.

A deep, audible gasp left her lips. When he lifted his head, he saw the way she reacted to his touch. He figured he must've hit the right spot. Heavily, she panted as her lips were parted. She could feel more heat rise within her cheeks. Slowly, his finger caressed her. With each other stroke, her body became more overwhelmed with pleasure. Tightly, she grabbed onto the pillow near her head as she closed her eyes tight. Over time, her moans became a little louder as her back began to arch. She was close to reaching her end.

Then, she felt his hand slid from her. She wondered why he stopped when her body still felt on a high. Partly, she opened her eyes to him as she was panting. "Please…" she whispered. More than anything at that moment, her body wanted him to continue. The lower half of her throbbed uncontrollably. A little nervous, he stared down at her. She placed her hand on top of his that was at her hip. He slipped off her underwear and tossed them against the bed.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Hm." Kairi nodded as she opened herself more to him. He removed his boxers and moved them aside as well. His eyes traveled along her body. As he moved in closer, he pressed his hands against her legs. His body pressed in closer to her between her legs. Her knees hung up at his waist. Then, another thought crossed his mind which made him stop in place. "What is it?" she asked anxious.

A concerned look came on his face. He shook his head a little. "What if we accidently…?" He started to get up. "Wait! I can get something to-."

Before he could get up, he felt her grab his arm. He looked down at her surprised. She smiled to assure him. "You're safe with me. We're safe." He looked at her curious. "Don't worry." He took a second before he nodded. He trusted her. He pressed in closer to her as she aligned her body with his. Soon, she breathed in deep as her eyes closed tight. She felt him push deep inside of her. Tightly, she grabbed onto his arm.

Sora looked down at her concerned. "Are you okay?"

After she opened her eyes to him, she nodded. "Yeah." She smiled toward him to assure him. In return, he smiled back. This would be the moment they would always remember. The moment they would connect as one.

Afterward, his body leaned against hers as he gently kissed her. Slowly, he moved back and forth to give her time to adjust to him. The palm of his hand slid from her wrist into her hand against the pillow. His fingers intertwined with hers. Afterwards, he could her fingers press down more between his knuckles. He didn't mind the feeling. At the same time, he could hear small sounds escape from her closed lips. Her eyes were closed as she continued to get used to him. He placed kisses along her neck and chest to help ease her pain.

Moments in, his eyes lowered to a close as he breathed out. The sensation of her felt overwhelming, unlike anything he had felt before. He felt pleasure throughout his whole body. After things felt easier, his body began to move faster as he thrusted harder. His hand tightened around her just as much as hers did. The other hand that was on the bed beside her began to tightened with the covers in hand. His nails began to dig into the mattress. It was almost too much. He held back as much as he could before he could reach his end.

The same pleasurable feeling returned to her. Underneath him, her body trembled. Her legs rose up more and pressed against the sides of his waists allowing deeper access inside of her. He could feel her insides getting tighter. Sound began to escape from his lips as he closed his eyes tight. He couldn't hold back any longer. Kairi's head tilted back with her eyes closed tight. The feeling inside of her only grew stronger with each push. Her nails dug deeper into his skin. "Sora…" she breathed. A line of cries left her. Her body had finally reached what it had been waiting for.

Sora slowed to a stop. Heavily, he breathed out. He released what was left inside of him. His body was drenched in sweat and drained of energy. Tired, he separated from her, still feeling the effect of release spread throughout his body. When he lifted his head, he saw Kairi staring back at him. The only thing they could hear was each other's heavy breathing. Feeling the strength leave his arms, he lied his head down against her chest and shoulder. His eyes lowered to a close. The scent of her skin was soothing. Kairi wrapped her arms around his back as her legs pressed in at his waist as she closed her eyes. Like him, she needed a chance to rest.

After minutes of silence, Sora finally lifted up and lied beside her. Nervously, he looked toward her. "Was that…okay?"

She pulled the blanket over her chest and wrapped her arms around her stomach. The two stared at each other until she turned in toward his chest with her eyes closed. Doubt began to cast on him. Maybe she didn't like how their first time went. He wasn't sure what to say. He rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry…I…"

Soon, she sat up on her elbows. In the darkness, she blushed a little as she looked toward the side. "Yes…"

Curious, he looked at her. "Then what is it…?" He sat up on his elbow. Then, he smiled for comfort. "You don't have to say yes. I'm sure next time-."

She shook her head as she smiled nervous. "It's not that. It's just…I..."

He looked surprised and curious. "What?"

"What I said…" There was still a clueless look on his face. Embarrassed, she looked at him. "I…called for you…" she said quietly. She was sure that her face turned more red.

It took him a second as he thought back, then he grinned. "Oh! Right!" He couldn't help but think of how cute she seemed in that moment. "If you want, you can say my name more often now."

Playfully, she pushed against him as he laughed. Afterwards he stretched and put his arms behind his head. She held the covers over her chest as she smiled down at him. A surprised look came on his face as she placed her face closer to his. "But I'm glad." Their foreheads pressed together as they grinned. "We should probably get cleaned up," she suggested. He stepped off of the bed first. Before she could, he reached and placed his hand on her back and underneath her knees. She looked at him surprised. "What are you doing?"

He grinned and picked her up. "Helping of course."

Later, the two sat covered in water and bubbles. He relaxed against the back of the tub as Kairi leaned against his chest with her eyes closed. A smile curved at his lips. It was ironic that they were right back to where they were hours ago. He thought back to moments ago. Now he felt more connected to the girl that was most important to him. Curious, he leaned forward. She had been quiet since they lied together. His fingers brushed against the skin of her arm. "Kairi?" He tilted his head to get a better look at her face. As she breathed softly, her eyes were closed. He was surprised to see that she had already fell asleep. Again, he smiled. It couldn't be helped. She must've been really tired. "Kairi." She groaned, tired. After getting ready, they both returned to bed.
