Chapter 10: Protect:

As usual in the afternoon, Kairi walked in the halls in school without Sora. She almost walked into the door of her class when she noticed a stack of papers on the teacher's desk. Her eyes widened in surprised. A few seconds later, Sora came beside her. He noticed that she had a worried look on her face which had him a little concerned. "What's wrong?"

She kept her voice down so that none of the vampires or wolves would hear her. She turned around to him quickly. "I forgot! I got a math test today! I didn't study at all!" Her nervousness started to make her unable to stand still. Sora closed his eyes smiling. It was a little amusing to see her panicking about a little test. She could see the smile on his face which made her upset. "This is not funny!" she whispered.

Sora opened his eyes. "Relax. Just see if you can get out of the class before the test and leave it to me."

She started to get curious in how he would. He sounded confident that he could help her. Sora looked over to see two guys looking over, smiling with their arms crossed from the other side of the hall. Sora's eyes lowered as he glared at them. He was not happy about the reason why they were looking over. Kairi noticed his upset look which made her surprised and wonder about what was going on. "Something wrong?"

Sora continued to pierce his eyes over at them. Unnoticeably to him, his hands had started to tense. "Those guys over there were wolves."

Kairi had gotten a little concerned. She didn't want anything to happen. "You think they noticed you were a vampire?"

"No." he replied seriously. "That's not it. It's your scent."

Kairi looked surprised. She held up her hands as she was trying to figure out why. "My scent?"

Like Sora, they could smell her scent through the air strongly. "They can smell it. Your mating scent."

Kairi calmed down. It had made a lot of sense then. "Oh. That would explain why I've been sort of getting a lot of looks."

Sora closed his eyes as he crossed his arms. He didn't like others paying more attention to her because of her scent and getting the wrong idea about what they could do. "Just listen to me. We can try to fix both of your problems." Afterwards, he walked away further down the hall.

Kairi left from in front of the classroom and went into her locker nearby. The study guide for her test had fell on the floor in front of her. She took it with her as she went into class studying. The teacher was all ready sitting at her desk. Kairi nervously sat at hers. "All right class. You have until the end of the class to complete the test. If you finish early you can leave."

The teacher stopped in front of Kairi and placed the test on her desk. Kairi looked up at the older gray haired woman, worried about what she might say if she had asked her a question but she had to find a way to leave. "Excuse me but can I go to the bathroom?" Kairi asked uneasily.

A stern up came upon the woman's face. "We're about to start the test."

"I'm sorry but I really have to go." Kairi pleaded a little.

The teacher started to get upset but decided to let her go. "Okay. You have five minutes. If you don't make it back in time, I'll call you for cheating and you'll fail the test."

Kairi nodded and got up from her desk. As soon as she was out the door, she ran off as fast as she could to the closet where she and Sora usually meet. While the other students were taking the test, the teacher checked under Kairi's desk to make sure she didn't take anything with her. Her math book was still there so she had assumed for now that she wasn't cheating. Afterward, she walked away from Kairi's desk with her hands behind her back. She didn't notice that Kairi had sneaked her study guide out of the room.

Inside the closet, Kairi started studying her two sheets of paper with the same questions on the test from what she had seen. She looked back toward the door, starting to get anxious. "Where is he?" she wondered. She turned her head back and started studying again. Time was getting to close. Then, she heard the door open behind her. By the scent, she could tell it was him. Instantly, she leaned on the desk with her hands as she still concentrated on the answers but it became harder since he walked into the room. "I only have five minutes."

He came behind her. His arm wrapped around her waist and started to unbutton her shirt. "Then you'll be done in three." He looked over at the paper and smiled.

Kairi looked back at him. She was surprised to see him grinning. "What?"

He could recognize by the questions on her study guide. He could tell who she had and what he needed to do to help her. "I can tell who your teacher is. It looks like she hasn't changed it at all. I had her before. I can tell you all the answers but first there's something I need to know."

"What?" she whispered.

"How good are you in the class?" he asked seriously.

Kairi shrugged her shoulders. "Okay."

"Then this is what you do. Don't make an A but don't fail either. Memorize all the answers I'm about to tell you. Put all of them on your test if you have to but erase some of the hard ones so she doesn't get suspicious. Be the last one to finish the test because she probably thinks you didn't study. Make it look like you're really thinking." He instructed her.

She started to get a little concern if this plan would actually work. "Are you sure you have enough time to help me?"

Sora smirked. It wouldn't be that hard to help. "I usually use more time but I can do it."

Kairi returned back to class before the five minutes were up and started with her test. She did as Sora told her. She put down the answers that she memorized. The teacher walked around checking everyone work. When she looked on Kairi's desk, she could see the scratch sheet of paper where she was working her problems on and some answers all ready on her test. What she didn't see was the answers all ready erased that she wrote lightly to remind herself which answer goes where.

Half an hour later, everyone was gone except for Kairi. She sat at her desk as planned, thinking. Instead of it being math problem, she caught herself thinking about Sora. When she snapped out of it, she noticed her scent from before had came back. She finished the test and walked up to the teacher's desk. She started heading to the door but the teacher called her back. The woman smiled a little. "Don't you want to know what you made? It won't take that long."

Kairi turned around and waiting as her teacher started marking her paper. Then, the woman stopped, a little impressed. "Not bad. B+. Maybe I was wrong about you failing this. Good job." Kairi nodded. When she walked out of the class, a big smile came on her face.

Later that night, she was lying on the bed with Sora up in the attic, still happy. She leaned over and hugged him as best as she could with her eyes closed tight. "Thank you!"

Sora smiled, glad that things worked out for her. "That's good."

Kairi calmed down a little but kept smiling. "I think I know why my mating scent keeps coming up. Because I keep thinking about you."

Sora smiled. "That's good to know." Kairi leaned her head more on Sora's chest and closed her eyes.

Outside of the building, Veronica was looking up toward the top window. She could smell Sora's and Kairi's scent from the ground. She smirked as she was about to carry out her plan.

Sora looked up at the ceiling as Kairi was sleeping beside her. He smiled as he could feel her moving beside him. At first, he wasn't sure about being with her but it made him happy. When he moved out of his thoughts, the smile went off of his face. He could smell a familiar scent nearby which he was glad he did. "Kairi." he whispered loudly. He shook her a little until she woke her up.

Kairi's eyes opened a little as she sat up. "What is it?"

A worried look came on his face. "You need to go."

Sora and Kairi looked toward the door. They could hear someone walking up the stairs. They got up from the bed as they realized they are close to being discovered. Sora tore some of the boards off of the windows and helped Kairi through. She climbed out and landed on one of the balconies nearby. "I'll come back for you." Kairi nodded and continued on her way down.

Veronica opened the door and seen Sora sitting up on his bed. He growled. "What are you doing here?! How did you even find out I was here?!"

Veronica looked around for who was there with Sora. She knew that the person he had been keeping from her had been there. "Let me guess. She was here. That's why you're getting upset." Sora's anger was starting to show but she just smirked. "Sorry. Did I come here at a bad time? Were you two-?"

"Leave now!" Sora shouted. He was trying to find a way so that she would go.

Outside, Kairi managed to get down to the sidewalk. She looked up toward the window to Sora's room as she started to get worry. She didn't know what he could be going up against but she knew it wouldn't be good.

Veronica walked over and pushed Sora down on the bed as hard as she could. She climbed into his lap. "You shouldn't talk to me like that." She leaned in closer but he turned his head with his eyes closed, avoiding anything she might try. "As usual you resist me but not this time."

He turned his head back, confused about what she was thinking about doing. "What are you talking about-?" She stuck a bottle into his mouth and made him drink. When she moved it, he started coughing. Afterwards, he opened his eyes. "What did you do?"

She smirked as she had the bottle in his hand. "You'll see." She reached down and started loosen the belt from his pants.

Sora realized what she was doing but for some reason he started to feel weak. His eye sight started blurring in and out as he felt like he was about to pass out. "What are…you…?" His body started to feel heavy just like his eyelids.

She removed his belt from his pants and held it up in the air. She had started to smile more because she was finally getting what she wanted. "I say let's make this official. By the end of the night, I'll be your mate and you'll be mine."

Sora closed his eyes as his head leaned toward the side. He couldn't say awake anymore.

Kairi continued to wait downstairs but she was starting to get more impatient. By now, Sora should've found a way to get rid of her but Kairi knew she wouldn't go away that easily. Finally, she decided to run back into the building.

Veronica flipped her head back as she looked down at Sora. She continued sitting on top of him. She sighed, disappointed. "This would be more fun if you were awake. I want to see what you can really do but this is the only way you will be with me." She leaned in going toward his neck as her fangs started to come out.

"Get away from him!" a voice shouted out.

Veronica turned around but before she knew it, she was knocked down on the ground by a wolf. Kairi looked over to see Sora lying unconscious on his bed with no shirt on. She started to growl. Veronica's eyes were widened as she got up staring at the wolf. "A wolf?" she whispered.

Kairi started to growl louder, angry. She looked down at her, ready to attack but Veronica was still in shock. "All this time…Sora has been with…a wolf?"

Kairi jumped in and bit onto Veronica's arm. She managed to knock Kairi off but Kairi rushed back in and bit her again. Veronica fell to the ground as Kairi kept tugging at her. Kairi got onto of her and started using her claws. Veronica managed to knock her off. She started to get upset. "How could Sora be with…a disgusting wolf?" Veronica was surprised by the color of her fur. "Especially a white wolf."

Kairi rushed at her again but Veronica grabbed her around her neck quickly. She was more focus this time. She pressed Kairi forcefully against the wall. "Show me who you really are!" Veronica continued to squeeze her neck harder until Kairi couldn't breathe. It caused Kairi to change back to her human form. Veronica's eyes widened slowly as she looked surprised. Her grip started to loosen up on Kairi. "You again?"

Kairi tried to break her hand free but she couldn't. "What did you do to Sora?!"

Veronica pushed her against the wall hard which caused pain to course through Kairi's back. Her feet were back on the floor again. She closed her eyes tight as she put her hand on her neck. "He's fine! Just a little mating thing vampires do."

Kairi struggled to open one of her eyes. "It looks like you knocked him."

Veronica grabbed her wrist and squeezed it tighter which Kairi sighed in pain. "I can't believe he mated with a wolf!"

Kairi leaned her head forward. "He mated so leave him alone!" she yelled.

Veronica shook her head in disbelief. "What you two did was not an official mating so it doesn't matter!"

"Whatever you did to him undo it now!" Kairi demanded.

Veronica threw her to down to the ground. She was starting to get more upset. Her anger was finally started to overcome her shock. Kairi opened her eyes as she sat on the floor. Quickly, she stood up and ran to Sora. She shook him, trying to wake him. Veronica started to walk toward them as she was trying to calm down. She didn't want anything to ruin what she all ready had going between her and Sora as far as taking over the vampires. "This will just be between us. I will kill you now!"

Kairi started to get worried as there was nothing to protect her body. Veronica raised her hand in the air. Kairi closed her eyes tightly, trying to change back into a wolf but she couldn't. "Don't bother. I used something so that you wouldn't." Veronica brought her claws down which Kairi closed her eyes.

When she opened them, she saw a hand holding onto Veronica's wrist. Sora was sitting up with his other arm wrapped around Kairi's waist. "You." he growled. Veronica started to get worried. She didn't expect for him to wake up that soon. "You drugged me." he hissed as he started to scoot closer to her.

Veronica started to get afraid about what he might do. He had seemed really angry. She backed away from him as he stood. "Sora. It was for your own good. You need some sense knocked back into you. Look at her. She's a wolf. She's not even in the same species as you."

"I should've said this a long time ago but you are not my mate! She is! I don't like you like that. You were just using me just so you could take over the pack!" Sora yelled. He hoped that it would finally get through her said. It had felt good finally saying it.

Veronica looked hurt by what Sora said. "Just go!" he yelled again.

Veronica's eyes lowered as she was starting to get upset. She turned around and walked out of the door.

Sora calmed down after she left. He pulled Kairi away from him and checked her body to make sure she was okay. He had felt bad for putting her into danger. Afterwards, he pulled her back to him and held onto her with his arms. "Kairi. I'm glad you're okay."

Kairi leaned back and looked up at him. An upset look had come across her face. "What were you thinking?! She almost raped you!"

Sora looked down. He couldn't believe what had almost happen himself. "I'm sorry but I didn't know what she was going to do."

Kairi sighed. She was just relieved that she got there in time and that he was okay. Sora looked around on the ground. He had come to a decision. He looked over toward Kairi. "Come on. Let's go to the Light Haven."

Kairi looked surprised. She knew that he had kept avoiding of the subject of going but she really didn't think he would actually go with her. "Really?"

Sora smiled. "It's not safe for us anymore and maybe you were right this whole time."

Kairi smiled and hugged him, happy. Afterwards, Sora got up and went inside of the drawer. He tossed Kairi one of her dresses. She put it on and took Sora's hand. Together, they left and ran off.

To be continued. As always let me know if you like.
