Author's Ranting: writer's block!!! argh... I tried to come up with something good but my writer's block doesn't want to go away.
My muses have abandoned me, all my inspiration and motivation is GONE and I can't get anything done. -_-
But since I didn't want to keep you waiting too long I wrote the next chapter as good as it gets... and again it's nearly no fluff and way too much plot... well, not even plot I guess...
ack just read it..
~~~
Selphie and Tidus were looking for Sora and Riku when they saw two boys lying on the beach, singing incredibly horrible. Tidus's eyes widened and he plugged his ears while Selphie burst into laughter, rolling on the floor.
Sora's mouth immediately fell shut and he started to blush furiously. Riku just looked annoyed. Fine, they couldn't sing but it wasn't *that* horrible...
After tiring herself out from laughing, Selphie pounced on Sora, smiling brighter than the sun.
"Sooo you two are still together?" She asked, extremely happy.
Sora grinned and nodded.
"Yay!" Selphie squealed, jumping off Sora to hug Riku. "I *so* knew it that you two could work it out!" She was so happy that she totally forgot about Kairi. Tidus just stood there and watched Selphie bouncing in ecstasy but was surprised when Selphie leapt towards him and grabbed his hands, spinning around. "Wheee!" she squealed, laughing heartly. Tidus started to laugh, too and Sora and Riku chuckled.
"And I thought we were strange..." Sora muttered while Riku smirked.
The day was turning out to be great, everyone was happy, the sun was shining brightly until it disappeared to be replaced by a breathtaking beautiful moon and no one ever thought about Kairi.
~~~
It was raining and he couldn't believe it. Yesterday the weather had been so fine and nobody would have thought that it would start to rain today...
"Stupid rain...stupid rain...stupid rain.." Sora chanted while sitting in his room, watching the rain pour down in front of his window.
A loud knock was audible.
"Sora? Could you let me in?"
Sora stopped cursing the rain and stiffened for a moment. The voice seemed too familiar. He wanted to crawl under his bed and hide because now that he knew what Kairi had done to him he just didn't want to have anything to do with her.
"I don't mean to be a burden but it's pouring and it would be really nice if you let me in for a while." Yeah that was Kairi. Still sounding oh-so loving and nice. Sora snorted but decided to let her in anyway. It was raining cats and dogs, after all.
The door cracked open and Sora gave the girl an annoyed look, which she just shrugged off. She smiled sweetly, Sora normally would have smiled too but this time he just rolled his eyes. He was mad at her and he had the right to be. Kairi looked around the room and sat herself on a chair, looking out of the window.
"What a bad weather..." she muttered, sighing. Sora tapped his foot, waiting for her to get to the point. Why did she come here? Just to annoy him?
"Kairi, what do you want?" He asked, intentionally not hiding his annoyance. The auburn haired girl raised an eyebrow at his impatience but eventually smiled sweetly again.
"Oh, the weather was so bad that I thought I'd come here and spend some time with you. We haven't even seen each other yesterday and I was kind of worried..." she frowned, looking extremely thoughtful. "I was worried because of you and Riku. What happened? Did you...break up with him? Because if he still intends on using you, I will personally--"
"Shut up!" Sora suddenly barked, clenching his fist. Kairi's eyes widened and she stared in confusion. Sora scowled and clenched his fist harder. "Riku is *not* using me." He growled. He didn't quite know why he was so angry with her but hearing her talk about Riku like that was really getting to him.
Kairi narrowed her eyes, her plan didn't seem to work that well. If it was as she calculated Riku should already be somewhere drowning in depression and Sora should hate him as much as she hated Riku.
"..what?" she asked in disbelief. Sora just sighed and plopped down on the bed. He had to tell Kairi to leave them alone or something. Make her understand that she was unwanted after what she did. But how should he do it?
"You've gone too far, Kairi." Sora muttered, not looking at her but staring at the rain outside. How much he longed for Riku to be here instead of that annoying girl. Why couldn't Riku come here, in the middle of heavy rain, his soaking wet clothes clutching to his body. Sora's thoughts suddenly seemed fixed on Riku, imagining him bursting through the door, pushing Kairi away and claiming Sora himself. Kairi would then run away furiously and disappear in the tempest. Forever.
"What did I do?" Kairi brought him out his thoughts again.
Sora turned to her and scowled. He usually never scowled but right now he did look scary.
"I'm serious, Kairi. Stop playing stupid. Because unfortunately, you're not stupid at all." He muttered, looking directly at her with the most serious expression one had ever seen on this face.
Kairi was in trouble and she knew it. Somehow Sora had found out about her plan that she lied. Somehow...
"Selphie." She hissed, narrowing her eyes. Why hadn't she thought about that? Selphie ran away to get some food. Of course, Kairi knew that she wasn't going to get food but she also didn't think that Selphie would deceive her that easily. She had been too confident in her plan and was already planning what to do with Sora once he and Riku were separated. It was such a good plan, too. But now that Selphie had betrayed her... How could she? She thought they were friends.
Sora nodded and crossed his arms.
"Kairi, I'm not going to ask why you did something like that to me. Or Riku. Or Selphie. I'm just asking you to..." he paused, frowning. He still saw Kairi as a friend, somehow at least. No matter how much he hated her right now, she had been a good friend to him as well as his girlfriend. Could he just forget all the time they spent together and tell her to get lost? Could he?
"....to get the heck out of here and leave me and Riku alone for the rest of our lives!" Sora yelled without thinking twice. It was straight out of his heart.
Kairi froze.
"....."
She looked at Sora, seeming close to crying. Her eyes were fixed on Sora's and her hands were clutching to the armrest of the chair.
Sora's scowl disappeared and was replaced by a frown. Was she going to cry? He would feel sorry the moment she shed a tear, he knew it. Actually he already felt sorry, seeing her staring at him like this. Had this been to harsh? They hurt her a lot, he had to admit. What if she still cared so much for him that it would break her heart completely now? Sora bit his lip and watched Kairi.
The girl started to shake slightly and her lips trembled as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Sora's heart sank to the deepest dark hole. Kairi's face twisted as she was about to cry and Sora prepared himself to feel extremely guilty.
"I.so.hate.you." Kairi growled through clenched teeth. She then rushed up and slapped Sora as hard as she could, leaving a burning red mark on his cheek.
"I hate you, Sora! I hate you!! I wish you would die!!" She screamed, slapping him again before bursting out of the room into the tempest, similar to Sora's imagination before.
But he didn't feel good at all. First of all his cheek hurt. A lot. Also, he started to worry about Kairi, she was in the middle of a storm and probably careless since he just upset her like that. And Riku wasn't with him like he imagined. He was alone in his room.
~
Kairi was running through the rain, cursing Sora and Riku and even Selphie. She hated them all, how could they all turn against her? It was all Riku's fault. He started everything. He stole Sora from her, he made Selphie feel guilty enough to make her tell the truth. Riku was the worst person she ever met and she so wished he would die a painful death.
The rain was getting heavier and stronger but she just kept running. She had to let out everything and ran as fast as she could until she suddenly slipped and fell straight on her face. She started to cry but got up, continuing to run. After a few steps she fell down again, this time slipping on a stone and hitting her head, hard. She was unconscious and went limb in an instant.
~
Riku was pacing around in his room, cursing the weather. He wanted to spend the day with Sora, they originally wanted to explore that cave Tidus found some days ago. It didn't even bother him that Selphie and Tidus were coming along since they were rather busy with each other right now. Riku chuckled. Cute pair. And it was very comfortable because he could be alone with Sora, too.
Grabbing his raincoat Riku decided to pay his friend a little visit. He couldn't stand to stay in his room and not being able to see Sora for a day. Luckily he didn't live so far away and so Riku raced to Sora's house, seeing that the door was open. Raising an eyebrow he walked in and looked around. Nobody there. He removed his wet raincoat and placed in on the couch, heading for Sora's room.
"Hello?" He called, peering into the quite messy room. Sora was huddled up in a corner, hugging his wooden sword. Hugging his wooden sword?! Riku wrinkled his nose in confusion and walked over to Sora.
"Uh...what are you doing?" He inquired, waving a hand in front of Sora's face.
"Huh?" Sora looked up, suddenly looking very surprised. Riku could see the redness on his cheeks and even the remains of a hand mark.
"Riku?" He blinked.
Sora held out his sword to Riku and smile shyly. "I was just hugging that sword cause I was thinking of you. you know it just reminds me of us... and I wanted you to be here, so.."
Riku chuckled and shook his head before sighing. Sora was so adorable, in any situation.
"Well, I was thinking of you too." He smiled, crouching down to his friend. He reached out to gently lay his hand on Sora's cheek and felt Sora wince. Did it hurt that much?
He frowned and leaned to brush his lips against both of his cheeks before wandering up to kiss him on the forehead.
Sora leaned forward to let himself sack against Riku who wrapped his arms around him, feeling that Sora wasn't as cheerful as usual.
"What's the matter?" he softly asked, tracing circles on Sora's back.
Sora sighed and shook his head. "Nothing...just...Kairi..." he murmured, burying his head in Riku's collarbone. "Don't...wanna think..about it now..." he added, letting himself go limb in Riku's arms.
Riku tightened his arms around him and ran his hands all over his back in a soothing motion. He heard Sora sigh and smiled to himself.
"Okay. Just forget that there's anything besides us." He whispered, kissing Sora's hair.

Ending notes: What happened to Kairi? Well, she's not dead (Kairi-haters: nooo!!), she's just unconscious. She'll wake up...unfortunately. But to see what's going to happen when she does, stay tuned for the next chapter! And I couldn't think of anything good cause I'm still having a stupid writer's block. Just added the last scene to have at least something not too depressing and serious.
I really hope this block goes away since I have lots of time now.
Oh and in case you're wondering why Wakka isn't in any chapter...well, I don't need him *shrugs* I just can't think of anything to write with him so let's just pretend he doesn't exist *bg*
My muses have abandoned me, all my inspiration and motivation is GONE and I can't get anything done. -_-
