Black Rose-18 SIGNING IN…

--Hey, sorry for the late update. I just got busy and…LAZINESS! I had so much to do…I'm a studious person, of course, STUDIES FIRST! And, I'm a dancer at S.E. Productions so I really am BUSY! Well, anyways…here's the next chapter for dinner…it's smothered with sweetness, lots of giggles and Black Rose-18's very own secret sauce! Enjoy tasting it!--

Chapter 10: Kyle, Sora and Kairi

Kyle pulled Sora's hand towards their house. "Kyle!" Kairi shouted out. Kyle…since when did you become SO stubborn! You would always follow what your big sister 'Kaiwi' is saying! Kairi thought. She walked and followed where Kyle is leading Sora. She saw Kyle open the front door and let Sora in. KYLE! I love you but…do you HAVE to do that!

She entered her house and found out her mom wasn't in there. I wonder where mom is… She saw a small note at the fridge so she went and read it. It says… "Kairi, take care of your little brother okay? I saw you came so I have no worries…who is that guy you're with? We have to talk about that some time! I'm sorry I haven't had time to approach you…I'm in a hurry! –Mom"

Kairi could really see that her mom's in a hurry…her handwriting's not legible, she even had a hard time understanding it! Why is mom in such a hurry? She asked herself. Then, she remembered Kyle and…SORA! Now, where are they!

She went upstairs…she could hear Kyle's and Sora's voice from Kyle's room. So she opened the door and placed her hands on her hips. She watched them enjoy…Sora is tickling Kyle and Kyle was really trying hard to let go!

"Kaiwi! Kaiwi!" Kyle shouted while laughing happily. He ran to her sister while Sora chases him. He hid at the back of Kairi, hugging her legs. (Make sense, Kyle's just that small) Sora went to where Kairi was standing and Kyle shouted (happily) and ran to his bed. But Kairi stopped Sora before he could even chase Kyle.

"Sora, I think you have to leave. It's 8:30…" Kairi stated.

"Okay…thanks for the night, Nam—Kairi!" Sora said. That was close! I was about to say Namine…! Sora thought.

Kairi nodded and Sora walked out of the room. But as he was about to leave, Kyle cried loudly. "Sowa! Sowa!" he cried. Kairi went to her weeping brother but Kyle ran to catch up with Sora. "Sowa!" he cried.

"Kyle!" Kairi shouted out. She chased her brother who was downstairs, hugging Sora's left leg. "Kyle…let Sora leave, he has to go home." But Kyle shook his head still hugging Sora's leg.

Then she remembered her mom's letter, it has a note at the end saying: "P.S. - Don't ever let your brother cry or you'll be grounded for 3 months!"

Kairi shook her head and went downstairs where Sora was standing. "Kyle, go upstairs…it's time for bed…Sora and I will sleep with you and read you a bedtime story." Kairi said.

"We will?" Sora asked clueless. "YES, we will…right Sora!" Kairi was gesturing for him to just ride-on with her.

"Oh…yeah…of course we will." Sora replied and placed his arms on her shoulder.

With that, Kyle jumped up and down happily and ran to his room. By the time Kairi heard Kyle's door closed, she said, "Now, do you mind staying for a few minutes? I know he's a little brat but I love him so much and he's going to cry if you'll leave…"

"Hey, it's no problem. I love kids." Sora said.

You do? Kairi asked on her thoughts. Well, she can't believe someone like Sora would LOVE kids…she's thought he might even think that Kyle's a little monster!

The lights were closed and a single lamp was lit on the bedside table. Kyle was on his pajamas and was already on his bed. He was waiting for Sora to tell him a bedtime story…you know kids! (A/N: I also love bedtime stories when I was small! Who doesn't?)

Kairi watched Sora narrate a story he made by his own…he didn't want to read the storybook so he made his own story. Kyle was really enjoying Sora's story…I can't believe someone like Sora would be so sweet to my little brother. And Kyle seems to like him…but of all people! Why him!

When the story's done, Kairi gently closed the lamp and said, "Time to sleep, baby brother!"

Kyle closed his eyes and Kairi hummed a lullaby so that Kyle could sleep better. While she was humming, she gestured Sora to leave so that Kyle won't notice.

Sora walked quietly to the door…he opened it slowly then went outside. He half-closed the door, watching Kairi hum her little brother a lullaby. She's really does love Kyle…she's a great sister, and I bet…she can also be a great mother… Sora thought. Then, he gently closed the door.

He walked to the living room and noticed a familiar object. He picked it up and thought, Isn't this Namine's bracelet? What is this doing in here? He placed it in his pocket and went to the front door.

"Sora!" someone called out.

Sora turned and saw Kairi at the top of the stairs. "Wait…" She said. She went downstairs and approached Sora. "Thanks for what you did…"

"Which one?" Sora asked.

"Everything!"

"Everything?"

"Yeah…"

"Including the…date?"

"Not that! Forget about it…I prefer to call it 'repayment'!"

"It's still a date for me!"

"So now what? You'll tell the whole school that we dated! FINE! Do whatever you want…"

"Of course it's fine to you! You would surely want the whole school to know that you dated one of the popular GT6! Don't worry Kairi, I don't spread rumors!"

"Why would I want the whole school to know that I dated YOU…? That's embarrassing!"

"It's not embarrassing…it's your way to popularity!"

"I don't need to be popular! I'm not like you!"

"Look, I didn't choose to be popular…it just happened!"

"You're a bigheaded guy!"

"You're a snappy girl!"

Silence showered at the room…they looked at each other's eyes, having a sort of connection. After about 10 seconds, Kairi raised her eyebrow and spoke up, "Aren't you going to leave?"

"I thought you said to Kyle WE are going to sleep with him?"

"Don't tell me you'll take that seriously!"

"What if I will?"

"You won't!"

"Why not?"

"That's because you are about to leave my house RIGHT NOW!" Kairi demanded.

But Sora just stood there and stared at Kairi. "Why do you always keep staring at me?" she asked.

"Think about it Kairi…" he said.

He imitated what Kairi had just said to him. (A/N: I think it was on chapter 7 or 8…the one when Kairi said 'Think about it Sora'…if ever you remember.)

"Take Care…" she said softly, it's more like a whisper.

But since it was all quiet, Sora heard her. "I will…" he replied.

"Goodnight…" he said, his hand touched her face and leaned to kiss her on the lips.

--Sorry…I'll have to stop it here! I'm sorry if the chapter's not that good…I'm really rushing! So much to do…so little time! Hehehehe…Don't' forget to review! Or else…I would continue being a lazy bum! Hahahahaha…Til here!--
