Author's Note: Sup guys chapter 10 and school is out and so am I so I`ve been doing a little R&R myself, that`s rest and relaxation. See ya at the bottom...
"Hello, is any one listening to me?" I pouted before I decided to take a look. Turns out they were all staring at a raven haired girl that somewhat resembled me.
"No way!" Axel`s eyes widened.
"It can`t be..." Riku added.
"Xion..." Roxas finished
Chapter 10 Long Lost Friends
Kairi`s POV
As we all stared at the person just a few yards away, the most surprised of us were the three guys with their mouths hanging on their hinges.
"Xion? Who`s Xion?" I spoke up breaking the long silence that fell on us.
"Xion is..." Riku began.
"My best friend" Roxas continued to stare.
"Our... best friend" Axel corrected.
"Xion, hmm that kinda sounds familiar..." Sora thought aloud.
"So hey, Roxas uhh, Roxas?"
Roxas` POV
Said Nam reaching out a hand to me, but I ignored it. As I started to walk down the hall to get the answers I need, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Roxas..." I turned my head to the side to show I was listening.
"Just... don`t get your hopes up" Axel said before releasing his grip. I nodded and continued on. As I slowly moved closer I felt as if a million memories were flowing into me, the feeling felt overwhelming.
Hey, I think I got the hang of this
Sora..?
Yeah who else, and man, you don`t look too good...
Yeah, I feel like... like a million emotions are filling me.
Dude, that was fruity.
Cut it out, this is serious!
Ok bro, sorry.
Ok, this is... is
Hey... Roxas, Roxas!
At that very moment, I felt myself overflow with old memories, long forgotten and that`s when I had my blackout.
"Hey, guy! Are you all right?"
Kairi`s POV
"Ok, he`s coming to..." Selphie announced.
"I hope he`s okay" Nam held her hands together.
"At least it`s not me this time" Sora smirked, but he was probably as worried as everyone else.
"Not now Hakari" Axel hit him upside the head.
"OW! Hey, still got the bandages on!" Sora fought back.
"Guys settle this somewhere else... Roxas might be hurt" Aqua spoke up.
"If I know Roxas, he can handle anything" Sora smiled.
"But not his feelings" Riku grinned.
"Hey, I heard that" We all turned back to the blond lying on the floor.
"ROXAS!" Nam squealed before groping him.
"Heh, thanks for the concern Nam, but... you`re chocking me" Roxas gasped as Nam released him and gave him a peck on the check.
"So... can anyone tell me what`s going on?" We all turned to the raven haired girl standing in front of us.
"Well, uhh..." Sora began.
"Is your name Xion?" Selphie burst out; we all just glared at her.
"What? Everyone was thinking it!"
"Yeah, but you kinda ruined their moment..." Aqua said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Wait we were having a moment?" the girl raised a brow while pointing to herself.
"Answer. The. Question." Axel said coldly.
"Y-yes, that`s my name..." She stuttered.
"Can you recognise any of us?" Roxas asked.
"Uhh... I guess you two look familiar" She pointed to Roxas then Axel "No. Wait. Na it can`t be... Could it?" Xion scratched her head.
"Okay, what are you talking about?" I asked.
"It`s just... These two really remind of a... Xion`s expression saddened "...darker time in my life. Okay, just to prove a point to myself... what are your names?"
"Well, that`s easy" Sora perked up and put a hand on what he thought was her shoulder.
"Kairi" I stuck out my hand and she nervously shook it.
"Aqua"
"Selphie!" She yelled.
"Naminé"
"Axel"
"And you are..?" She turned to Roxas and held out her hand towards him.
"Roxas" He took the hand and propped himself up.
"Okay now this, i-is starting to scare me..." She turned back to Sora. "So, that makes you..."
"Yep! I`m Sora" He proudly pointed to himself. We all turned to see her face, she was in complete and utter shock.
"N-no, this can`t be. I left that life behind. I left you behind." She whispered just loud enough for us to hear, while slowly backing up towards the lockers; and finally sitting down with her head between her legs. We could all hear the soft sobs coming from her, so Roxas bent down to her level.
"Xion... it`s alright. You`re safe now." At that moment she leapt on him, giving him a hug as she sobbed into his chest. Roxas was the first to break the hug.
"Xion, you`re back. With us, your friends... So why are you crying?" Roxas chuckled a little at the end.
"I dunno. Tears of joy?" She shrugged. "I just can`t believe you guys found me." Axel soon joined the two.
"I told, I`d always be there to bring you back" He smiled and hugged her as well.
"Yeah, like you had anything to do with this" Roxas grinned.
"Hey, I thought it was a really touching moment" Axel replied. The three shared a laugh and continued their group hug. I smiled at this; it was really a heart warming moment.
"So, how`d you get here anyway? I mean... I saw turn into little tiny bits of light" Roxas flailed his figures around to add emphasis.
"Heh, I don`t actually know. One day I`m inside Sora, watching his life and then poof! I rematerialized back into me."Xion explained.
"Hey, you guys don`t think this has anything to do with Sora and his lost memory?" Nam pointed out.
"Yeah! That would explain it." Riku said.
"Explain what?" Sora and Roxas said in unison.
"Why Xion is here now."
"Care to elaborate?" I put my hands on my hips.
"Grr you guys seriously need to stop skipping class..." Riku face palmed himself.
"It`s a habit" Axel chuckled.
"Xion was created by the leaked memories of Sora, right?" Riku began, we all nodded.
"And that`s why she looks kinda like Kairi, right?" He continued.
"Just get to the point, Riku" I crossing my arms.
"When Sora lost his memories, he forgot everyone he knew and the leaked memories found their way back into Xion to give her a body again. And since Sora can`t remember the most important person in his life all the leaked memories must be about..." Riku threw on a goofy smile and encouraged us to try and answer the question.
"If you`re trying to get us to finish your sentence, you`re going the right way for a black eye." Axel smirked.
"All I`m trying to do is make you guys solve this for yourselves!" Riku defended.
"Why do we need to, we have you" Selphie added.
"For the love of- WHOSE MEMORIES ARE THERE!" Sora yelled, sounding extremely annoyed.
"How do you think?" Riku grinned.
"I dunno, that`s why I`m asking you!"
"IT`S KAIRI YOU DIPSHIT!" Riku yelled in returned, causing Sora to shut up and turn beet red. Sora slowly turned his head to face me but quickly spun around to face Riku again.
"It explains everything, the reason you can`t remember Kairi, and why Xion`s here. I bet you only know Kairi`s name and the fact that you like her." Riku summed up while grinning. Both Sora and me blushed deep red and avoided all eye contact.
"Aww Riku! You spoiled their secret romance" Selphie wined then punched Riku`s shoulder.
"Sorry, it`s just really annoying to see two people who obviously like each other to hide the fact that they do especially since it`s been going on for soo long" Causing me and Sora to blush even more and make Xion giggle.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up" Sora quickly got up and blocked Riku`s mouth with his hand and shoved him in a supply closet.
"Hey, don`t run from your feelings Sora!" He yelled while hammering at the door.
"La, la, la I can`t hear you" Sang Sora like a little 5 year old I laughed nervously at this, but soon returned to my posture.
"Aw man, can this day get any worse..?" I slouched against the wall.
"Cheer up Kai, look on the bright side..." Naminé tugged on my shirt.
"What bright side?" I stared at her blankly.
"We added someone new to our group!" Roxas smiled and threw his arms over his best friends.
"Plus" Selphie spun me around until I got dizzy and I fell backwards straight into Sora, releasing his grip on the door. Then Riku popped out of the closet and said.
"You and Sora can finally get together before Selphie resorted to plan B" Riku beamed.
"Wait, what`s plan B?" Sora turned his head to face him.
"Roxas freezes you two together, until something happens" Aqua smiled.
"Like hyperthermia?" I asked.
"Yeah!" Selphie yelled.
"Whoa..."
"She was willing to kill us if we didn`t get together..." Sora rubbed the back of his head.
"Na. Not kill, maybe paralyze." Selphie beamed.
"You. Need. Help." Nam stepped in.
Hey Kairi!
Yeah?
I`ll make a distraction and you get Sora outta here!
Thanks Nam! Wait, what about school?
He has to go home anyway so go!
Why are you helping us?
I wanna see you two get together on your own... better make it sooner than later
Thanks Sis
You already said that now go!
"Hey look Xemnas!" Nam pointed to the end of the hall.
"OH MY GOSH!" Xion squealed.
"I gotcha Xion!" Roxas readied Oblivion and tossed Oathkeeper to her.
"Hey Roxas! What about me?" Nam pouted.
"Oh yeah. I gotcha too babe"
"Sure you do... What you two are still here?" Nam grabbed a hold of us and started to push us down the hall.
"Oh you meant go now"
"Just shut up and go!" Nam pushed us out of the hall and into the street.
"Hehe, toodles" And like that she was gone.
"Did she just say toodles" Sora asked.
"Yep" I replied.
"That`s messed up..."
Naminé's POV
"Okay, that`s taken care of... and guys that was nice work" I said giving everyone a round of high fives.
"Hehe, okay. What now?" Xion asked.
"Well, we got those two love birds out of oor hair for a while so I guess..."
RRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG
"We actually go to class for once" Riku began walking down the hall.
"Ahh, do we have to?" Axel pouted.
"Yeah we do, now that`s Xion`s here. It could only mean that the rest of the organisation members are here." Roxas crossed his arms.
"So... we got to check up on `em" Xion slammed her fist into the palm of her hand.
"Yep, to make sure none of us is in danger. Especially you three" I pointed to them while they exchanged looks.
"All the more reason" Aqua added.
"Come on, let`s go, let`s go, LET`S GO!" Selphie exclaimed while literally dragging Roxas and Axel by the helm of their shirts.
"Selphie! Lay off the expresso!"
"NEVER!" She yelled while now running with the two guys and Aqua trailing behind her. I walked next to Xion, who was staring wide-eyed at the whole scene.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah... just taking it all in" She laughed nervously at the end. I gave her a gentle smile and threw an arm over her and gave her a light squeeze.
"Welcome to the club"
Time Leap One Hour
"That was the most boring and dare I say it... unattractive lesson, of all time" Axel continued to complain.
"Unattractive?" Xion asked.
"Don`t even go there" I replied.
As we walked down the hall we updated Xion on all our latest antics and adventures. She seemed to be confused and amused all at the same time. We all laughed at her attempts to come to grips with our group and the way we work. Soon we made it to the lunch room and Aqua left cause she had some business with Master Eraqus so we bid our goodbyes and continued to our regular table. We sat down with Roxas opposite me and Axel to his right and Xion and Selphie either side of me. We talk about random stuff most of the time and move onto school, and stuff to do after school and stuff like that. That was all until I heard something in my head.
Aw, he`s sooo cute
Who is?
Oh Nam, get out of my head!
Hesh, sorry!
"Hey Nam, you okay" Roxas said snapping me out of my trance.
"Oh yeah. Fine, it`s just Kairi..." I giggled.
"But she isn`t here" Xion raised a broe.
"Don`t worry Xion. They`re just communicating through brain power" Roxas patted her on the shoulder.
"So... Nam and Kairi are telephatic?" She asked.
"Kinda... I guess are they. That means Sora and you are too" Selphie pointed to Roxas who just grinned.
"YEAH BOI!" Roxas yelled while he threw an arm up in the air and grinned widely.
"Man, I missed this" Xion smiled softly.
"Welcome back" I patted her back.
"Speaking of which... Hey Axel" Roxas punched his arm; Axel just stared at him with a blank expression.
"What?"
"Jedi mind rape" Both Xion, Selphie and me giggled at this but Axel just smiled.
"It`s not if you enjoy it" He chuckled causing Roxas` smile to drop and cringe at the thought at this point my sides hurt from all the laughter.
"Ahhhh Axel! No that`s soo wrong!" Roxas hid his face in his arms.
"Is it like this every day?" Xion said between laughing.
"Get used to it girlie" Selphie replied still giggling.
Another Time leap 3 Hours
After school we all decided to show Xion the play island, you know to kinda welcome her fully into our little group. We all set out on our canoes but we noticed that Sora band Kairi`s weren`t there so we borrowed Tidus` and Wakka`s I`m sure they wouldn`t get all mad at us. As we rowed, I had the same sensation in my head as before.
OH MY GOSH! I can`t believe this is happening!
Wait, what`s happening Kai?
Nam! What did I say!
Sorry, we`re coming out to the play island,
W-wait why?
To introduce Xion fully and your canoes are missing as well
Ohhh no
What
N-nothing, come on
Are you on your way here
Yeah we`re like half way there
Oh boy
Kai, you okay?
Yeah
You got Sora with you, don`t you?
Just keep coming we`ll meet you at the docks
Hahaha, see you soon.
After our mind chat I knew what had to be done.
"Okay guys double time Sora and Kairi are at the island already" I grinned at the last part.
"WOOP WOOP, we finally got through to them!" Selphie yelled while paddling faster to keep up with us.
"Finally, Sora gonna be a man" Axel threw his fist up in the air.
"Let`s just get there before we make any assumptions" Xion spoke up.
"You`re kidding me right?" Selphie glared at her.
"How am I kidding you?" she asked confused.
"No offence to your lack of our group..." Riku said.
"None taken" she replied.
"Sora has had this annoying crush on Kairi for like 10 years now!" Riku threw his arms up.
"And it`s about time they finally got together!" Selphie called out to us. She was now the furthest ahead.
"Alright guys enough we gotta make it to the island before we miss it!" Roxas said trying to keep up.
"Alrighty then. Sora, Kairi. Here we come!" I shouted before we all cheered and continued to row as fast as our arms could take us. Before long the island came into view, about time to the sun was already setting, through the dim light we were getting we barely make out the two figures by the dock.
"LAND HOO!" Axel exclaimed as he reached the dock, followed by Selphie, Riku, Xion, Roxas and me.
"Whoa, *gasp* we can as *gasp* fast *gasp* as we could" Selphie panted./
"For what?" Kairi asked sweetle.
"That" Selphie pointed to their linked hands.
"Whoa, how`d that get there" Sora blushedt pulled back his hand and rubbed the back of his head.
"Details. NOW!" Selphie crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the ground impatiently.
"I`m waiting..."
"Fine. We`ll tell you. But only when they others get here" Kairi crossed her arms as well.
"YAY! Come on guys, getup. Get up." Selphie pouted.
"Alright, calm down" Roxas helped me up.
"Hey, Sora your bandages are off..." I pointed out.
"Oh yeah, they came off when..." At that moment Selphie tackled Sora down and covered his mouth.
"NO SPOILERS!" She yelled.
"Selphie, down girl. I`ve been waiting 10 years I can wait a little more..." Riku said holding Selphie back while he recovered.
"Wait... 10 years..?" Kairi turned to Sora.
"No way. At least, I don`t think so..." Sora pondered at the theory.
"Kairi, I bet he`s liked since he met you" Xion walked over and patted her back.
"Wow, now I kinda feel guilty" Kairi head slowly lowered.
"What`s the matter Kai?" Sora slowly grabbed her hand; she smiled softy and said.
"Okay... you guys really need to hear this story..."
BOOM! Cliff-hanger don`t worry guys the next chapter is already there. Enjoy and remember... Review
