File 14: I Spy A Liar & Bad Guys » Volume 1

You know, the more I start to watch anime again, I notice how way different my fictional Japanese school, Tsuki High is. I found out in Japan school begins in April and has three terms. So, now I'm wondering how to change the school system or explain why the school is different from others. I like staying true to the setting the take place so it doesn't seem off and unrealistic.

More ideas started to flood in for the story and I thought I should put them in future chapters. You'll be seeing those later.

(Roxas' voice) – "Previously on Secret Agent Kairi"

"Alright class 2-C! Time to clean the pool!" Ms. Shimizu cheered persuading her students. Kairi, Olette, Roxas, Hayner, and Pence stood in front of the empty pool wearing their PE clothes and carrying some long handle cleaning brushes the inside.

Roxas grabs the bar of soap, throws it in the air and swings his sweeping brush and hits it. And whom was he aiming for? Selphie of course, but it didn't really work as it slowly goes down since he was across from where she was. And it ended up hitting Olette at the side of her face. Roxas was in trouble.

"Alright! Listen everyone!" she yelled. "We're gonna have our own game of battle of the sexes! All participates report inside the pool! Anyone wants out, get out! Winners will get to decide for what we can do for the upcoming school festival!"

"Have you've gone insane?!" Pence shouted to her thinking she was crazy but looked behind him to see he was missing from supporting Roxas and see him and Hayner fall.

"Well, we haven't really have a class rep for our class and I really don't know what should do for the festival," Ms. Shimizu answered.

"I heard your quitting soccer," Xion whispered to Sora while copying the notes on the board.

"Yeah I am. I have more fun being on the swim team than playing soccer. Takes up too much time for me doing two things," he answered to her doing the same thing as her. "Plus, I can spend more time with Kairi."

"So what's going on with your brother and Namine? The two look like they're already going out." Sora had an odd feeling in him when she said that and a small worried look but Xion didn't see it.

"She likes him… but he doesn't know that," he replied smiling.

"Well, your brother is naïve right now for not seeing it. I'm surprised Tsuki Girl didn't blog about this."

"If anything is wrong, you can talk to me about anything. I'm good listener you know. See ya," Namine said giving him her sweet smile when she would close her eyes and smile sweetly at the same time and just left.

"That smile of hers… I can't help but smile too but know that if she found out, I won't be able to see it again," Roxas thought sadly. Why is he still doing this to her? Sparing her feelings just for her to be happy while he just went along with knowing pretending he didn't. He was such a coward. That's why.

February 12, 2010. What is this day? To some people, it's just a day but to the students of Tsuki High, it's the school's cultural festival! Woohoo! Today wasn't a regular school day. All classes have been cancelled to prepare for the festivals. Some classes had cleared their homerooms for their booths and some were right outside the school. There were some cafés, school plays, games, food booths, drink booths, desserts booths, and many other fun activities the students could think off. To top it off, at the end of the day, thanks to Rinoa having her connections, they manage to get a ten-minute firework show. The students loved doing the festival and adults got into also. It sure was going to be a fun day.

"Umm… let's see," Olette examined looking at something or someone. "Something's missing."

"Did you miss the fact I'm a frickin' penguin!" Roxas shouted. Their place was called the Penguin Café thanks to the girls winning last week. Yipee. The costume was a little chubby but still cute and the only way you can see is Roxas' face is through the open beak.

"Aww, but you look cute in that!" Olette told him. "It's something you haven't done before." Roxas turned around to Kairi begging for help.

"Sorry bud, if you would've won that game, this wouldn't have happen," Kairi assured him. "Plus, I agree with Olette here." She then patted his head. "You look cute."

"Thanks," Roxas said nicely.

"Hey, how come when I say it you don't like it?" Olette complained.

"Maybe cuz' it's coming from you," he told her. The door suddenly opens with Namine walking in coming in from next door.

"Hi Nami," Kairi greeted.

"Hi Kai- Oh my god! That thing is so cute!" Namine swiftly ran towards Roxas' hugging him but didn't know it was he since she only saw the back. "This is so better than ours! I love this place already."

"You can stop hugging me now," Roxas tell her as she left goes.

"Didn't know you where the penguin. Man Roxas' you look so adorable in this."

"I know, I do don't I," he said rubbing the back of his head with that big arm of his, the costume. Not his actual arm.

"Seriously?!" Olette complained. "Only now he thinks he looks great in it?"

"It's amazing you can scratch with the back of your head with this," Namine says grabbing an arm of it feeling the soft fabric on her skin. "And it's soft too. You know what this reminds me of though?"

"What?" Roxas asked.

"Like 'Azumanga Daioh' when Chiyo-chan has the adorable penguin costume on."

"Wonder if he fell down. The outfit is chubby; looks like you can't even get up on your own," Olette thought aloud.

"Like that would happen," Roxas said smiling proud thinking it wouldn't. "All I'll be doing is standing by the-"

"Oops." Olette pushed him sending him to ground flat on his face as she looked at her nails. "Looks like it did."

~ Secret Agent Kairi ~

The festival had already started and people starting coming in now. Children walking with their parents and other teenagers were among the population. You could just smell the food in the air. The seasoning of them was in the mist as the heat was flowing in when there was steam coming out from the grills, stoves, and such. Now those kinds of booths were right outside the school in the nice warming sun. Lucky it isn't hot today or you'd be asking for shade the whole day or being in the building full of air conditioning. Xion and Sora's booth were one of them.

"Ugh! Why couldn't we do a café like Kairi them?" Xion told Sora as he placed a few boxes on the table.

"Because it's so obvious that at a school festival that you would do a café," he tells her going up to her. "Don't worry, we'll all get a break later. Just keep working at the cash register."

"And what'll you be doing?"

"Just sitting here supervising the products." Xion just sighed as a customer came up.

"What would you like sir?" she asked him seeing a red head guy with a blonde girl and a blue haired man that had a strange scar on his face. Xion felt a weird vibe with them since seeing that mark on that guy but they looked pretty normal.

"I love school festivals. I've never been to one in years." Aerith was happy to see these again. Her senior year was the last time she saw the last of these and never been to one since until now. She was walking between Cloud and Yuffie, and had a leash on Hoshi while holding a drink in her other hand. "I wonder where Leon is? He always loved coming these before."

"Leon? Our Leon?" Yuffie asked as Aerith nodded. "He loved coming to these?"

"Yep."

"Funny, I never thought Leon would-"

"I would never thought what?" Leon walked in on them.

"Said he never thought you'd like these," Cloud told him.

"Cloud!"

"Yuffie!" he mocked.

"Not funny."

"I was teenager too Yuffie. Doesn't mean I always take work seriously." Cloud, Aerith, and Yuffie then gave him an odd look. "Okay maybe I do." Their faces got even more odd. "Fine I do." The three then started to walk around the place.

"Even as a teacher, your serious from what Kairi has told me." Aerith took a sip from her drink and noticed something from a distance stopping. She saw one of Kairi's friends, Xion, working at the cashier with three people that seemed oddly familiar. "Hey guys."

"What is it?" Leon asked going up to her.

"Do you think those three look familiar to you?" she asked them.

"Who? Those fat people pigging on hot dogs," Cloud answered pointing to the fat people.

"No you idiot, the red head, the blonde and blue hair guy. They seem to be from the Organization."

"Organization?" a familiar voice came in behind them.

"Oh my gosh. People are coming to us at random moments," Aerith pointed out seeing it was Rinoa. "From strangers to Leon to you now."

"Oh," Rinoa said.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Didn't mean to," Aerith apologized. The way she sounded made it like she didn't want Rinoa around. Of course when they first met, not much before compare to now. "We were just think about this… ah…" Like mother like daughter. She was just like Kairi when it came to this. Someone now needs to finish her sentence.

"It's this new band," Yuffie continued

"New band," Leon repeated going along with it acting cool.

"We heard at this place," Cloud finished.

"At this place."

"Where Leon got stupid and drunk," Yuffie added.

"Where Leon is stupid and… Hey!" Took a second or two to figure out for Leon to know he just called himself stupid when the two ladies were making small laughs. "Oh that's nice."

Kairi was walking around wearing a uniform as did the rest of her classmates who were working their shift holding an order. They where wearing white-collar shirts. Guys wore pants and girls wore skirts. Both with a small apron to carry their pens, tips and orders in. A small blue penguin hat was also added for each of them. Anyways, Kairi placed two cups on the table and walked back. "Now I see why class closets are big. They're not really closets when you empty out everything," she said taking a seat on an empty counter.

"Yeah, that's what school festivals are for," Hayner said making cappuccinos. "Gotta love them. So you thought of anything yet?" he asked. Kairi didn't know what he was talking about.

"Thought about what?"

"I thought Olette told you already," he said giving the set of cappuccinos to one of his classmates. "Seeing how Namine seems hopelessly in love."

"Now that's not nice to say."

"Moving on with our lives here. Olette wants Roxas and Namine to be together. Now, I think we should just let things run its course," he continued while starting another set of drinks. "Not like those stereotype movies where you got two friends who have feelings and their friends hook them up."

"Heh, that makes two. Isn't Valentine's Day coming up?"

"Yeah, that's the day Olette wants to mark. And congrats."

"What?"

"You know what Valentine's Day is." Obviously he was making fun of her.

"Haha, I'm laughing in my gut. Sora told me about it when he asked me if I knew what it was." Hayner just laughed as he turned on the blender. "As usual, home schooling has made me too isolated from the real world."

"Kairi, we need you," Ms. Shimizu calls out. "Table 4 needs someone."

"You think she could at least help other than supervise," Kairi says getting off the counter.

"She bought all these supplies remember?"

"At least she did and we didn't have to go through our parent's pockets."

"Thank you and come again!" Roxas shouted outside the room as people left. Everybody was enjoying seeing him the costume especially the little girls who would beg to their mom or dad to take a picture with him. It was so sweet of him to do that. "I've been in here for a while and I don't even feel hot. Thank you for the AC." Roxas' then noticed Namine walking out of her classroom. "Hello Namine."

"I just can't help but have this warm fuzzing feeling when I see you in this. I wanna hug you again!" And she did what she just said and lets go of him.

"Okay, I think that's enough hugs for today Namine. You already have like ten pictures of me and you while I wear this in your camera."

"And it's so going on my facebook," she tells him. Soon after, there was a small pause. "Hey, do you wanna get out of that penguin of yours and walk around the school to see what else is there?" she offered. Roxas was thinking about this. Should he tell her the truth now? Nah, this isn't even the right time and place to even tell her. Maybe later he wills… if it gets to that moment.

"Sure, why not?" he replied as his friend just smiled.

"Finally a break!" Xion cheered as she walked the halls with Sora passing by other people as they head for their friend's Penguin Café. "I'm was so tired taking people's orders. Ugh, I already get that from my irritating sister!" she complained.

"Wow, you must hate her," Sora said walking by her with his hand behind his head.

"And you know, she is always effin' lazy when I'm around when I know you can do it herself and yells over the smallest things!"

"Like what?"

"Like one time when I was on my laptop, since we share the same room, she told to look at something at the TV. If I didn't, she threatens to take away my laptop away. God, she is worse than my mother and our mom is nice."

"You have a lot issues at home don't you?"

"No, just with her." Xion then spotted from a distance Roxas' and Namine walking away from them and started to think of something. "Hey look Sora, your brother and Namine are together… alone." Took about a few seconds for him to notice his brother was in front of him.

"Great, now what is he doing?" he thought. "Why does he have to keep doing this?"

"Sora?" Xion waved a hand in front of him to bring him back to reality.

"I'm sorry. What?" he said.

"We're here," Xion replied as gripped the handle. "And behind door number one is…!" She slid it open and it showed Pence coming out greeting them in the Penguin outfit. "Woah! This looks so cute!" she said hugging him.

"I know right!" Olette appeared out of nowhere carrying an empty plate by her side. "All the girls say that. Sucks Roxas left with Namine. He was a better one."

"Hey! I can be a better one than him!" Pence was determine.

"Roxas had it on for like two hours and its only two in the afternoon right now," Olette explained. "Although he is with Namine, so I guess you'll be in it longer." There was a short pause until she noticed something. "Oh my god! Roxas and Namine are together. Now is our chance! Kairi!" she called out smiling as her friend looked at her while taking an order. "What's the plan?"

"What plan? I don't recall being part of this," Kairi flatly replied making Olette drop her smile and drown in her empty world.

"Aww, but I was counting on you. All mines suck." Once Kairi was done taking an order and giving it to Hayner, she went to them and stood by them.

"Can't you just let things fall into place Olette? Yeah it's Namine first crush but let her enjoy it and do it on her own. She can take care of herself a little." Kairi then felt her phone started to ring and answered. "Hello?"

"Kairi, can you meet me near the parking lot?" It was Yuffie.

"Sure, let me just tell my friends and the others." Then she hanged up. "That was Yuffie and said I had to meet her in the parking lot. Well, thanks for covering my shift Olette. See ya! I'll come back for you Sora!" Kairi ran off leaving without asking.

"Hey! You still have an hour left before your break missy!" Olette shouted but too late. She was gone.

Roxas and Namine were together not holding hands since the two are not together. Just side by side walking together around the festival hanging out. That's what at least Roxas is thinking technically. Namine on the other hand thought this was an opportunity to get close to him. The two weren't talking and had no idea where to go causing a little silence between the two until one spoke. "So uh…" Roxas said scratching the back of his head. "Where do you wanna go?"

Namine was rocking her head a little thinking. "I don't know. I'm thinking of something both of us can enjoy." As they were walking, she saw a photo booth. It was the one where you would find at a mall to take funny pictures with your friends and all. "Oh! Lets go Roxas!" she was dragging him with her to the booth and was lucky there was no line. Once they got inside, Namine put in a dollar as they prepare to take pictures.

Kairi arrived to the parking and saw her mom, Yuffie, Cloud, and Leon including their dog, Hoshi. "What is the subject you guys?" she asked.

"Three of the Organization members are here Kairi and you know what that means," Leon told her as she just stood there looking at him.

~ Secret Agent Kairi ~

"You have to be joking? I mean, right here and now out of all places," Kairi asked.

"Nope it's real," her mom replied. "And all our jobs is to keep an eye out for them but alone in different parts of the school. A place enough to see them."

"Okay, so what do they look like?" Kairi asked. She can't believe her job and school life crash once again. Halloween dance was that last time she had to leave the dance halfway not able to see Roxas and Namine win the contest and see whatever she missed during those times. Just when it seemed everything was going great, it turns into a mission.

"One is a blond, another a redhead, and the last one has blue hair."

"Names?" Kairi just kept asking questions.

"Larxene, Axel, and Saix," Cloud answered.

"Oh my god! Does he have that 'X' mark Yuffie gave him on Halloween." Kairi seemed to enjoying saying that considering Yuffie had done that.

"Kairi, take this seriously," Yuffie told her. "And yeah he totally does," she smiled laughing as Kairi did the same.

"Girls!" Leon shouted.

"Yes sir! We will keep an eagle eye on them!" Yuffie told him.

"I hope you will. Now, end of conversation. Lets go." The five leave and head towards different direction, except for Kairi and Yuffie who wanted to do it together. This isn't the first time they haven't listened to Leon and manage to do fine on their missions.

Roxas and Namine were happily chatting as they got out of the photo booth laughing as they waited for their picture to come out. There was four strips of pictures, two for each of the two and two of the same pictures. The first of the set was the funny pictures. The other was with them smiling and laughing. It made them look like a couple. "Hey, we look a couple in these pictures," Namine pointed out.

"But I like these funny ones."

"Now we've got that done, we should watch a play. I heard one of the classes is doing one on 'Sleeping Beauty'. We should see it!"

"Ohkay. Getting too excited here Namine. We'll go."

"Yay." From there on, the two spend a lot time together. They saw the play but it was not really what happened in the fairytale. There were a lot of out of the blue moments in the middle and the lead playing the girl was a guy. Nonetheless, it still was an enjoyable and funny play that got a standing ovation by the whole audience. After that, Roxas and Namine walk around more eating at some places, playing games like the ones at the carnival, and just sharing the moment. Now if only Namine knew the truth behind all this, what would happen? Who knows? Roxas thinks they have been spending so much time together that it's better to lay off from telling the truth.

Sora and Xion left their friends café since they can't leave their position and didn't know what to do as they walk down stairs. It's their break and need to spend it all because they have to go back later. "Uhh, I've got nothing on my mind," Sora said.

"Me too. How bout we go to those shopping booths. Get something to get our minds off things?" Xion asked.

"Nah, I heard there is one doing a game room. We should find it," Sora suggested.

"It says game room in class 1-A," Xion mentions looking at a promotional poster to her right. "Sora Hikaru, I challenge you to a game of Super Smash!"

"It's so on!" The two then ran off to the classroom.

"Haha, the roof is the easy way of doing this mission!" Kairi cheered but noticed something. "Yuffie! I wanted this spot! Oh, never mind. I'll go somewhere." Yuffie quickly ran and stopped her.

"Whoa! Who said you can't be here? We're partners after all."

"Yeah, you're right. I mean, do we really listen to Leon the whole time."

"No and that's why we're best friends. We are alike." Yuffie then hands her another pair of binoculars.

"So what is the 411?" Kairi asked.

"We'll the three members are just being… normal people actually," Yuffie responded.

"Really?" Kairi raised her eyebrow walking over the guardrail putting the binoculars on her eyes searching for them. Took time for her to find them but she did finding them sitting at a place. "Oh my god! That Larxene girl has a knife! She's gonna…"

"Gonna what!?" Yuffie yelled busting out her binoculars.

"Hehe, false alarm. She is cutting her food." Yuffie just looked her.

Larxene cuts a piece of her steak and puts it into her mouth. "Mmm. I miss going out. This job of ours takes up some much time. When was the last time the three of us went out like this?" she asked her two workers.

"Arlene, you're such a pig," Axel told her while looking at his food and felt a ketchup bottle hit him. "Hey!"

"And I'm not fat," she grumbled with her mouth filled with food.

"You always act before you think," Saix pointed out drinking his water.

"Shut it Sai!" Larxene told him swallowing her food. "Its just high metabolism."

"So how did your guy's experiments of making a Nobody go?" Axel asked. He didn't enjoy doing this Nobody project nor did the idea of using bio weapons before. His role in Organization XIII was to carry out a few missions. Always doing the dirty jobs and he gets tired after every one. Couldn't he do something else he thought? Like sending messages instead.

"I manage to make one called Berserker although I don't know how Demyx made his," Saix said. "That guy is lazy and does nothing."

"Yeah, Xenmas orders him to study places while Lea here," Larxene patted her worker on the back. "Does the opposite."

"We all have a role Arlene," Saix told her. "All important ones." Saix is second in command of the group and gives out the orders given by Xenmas. "Like Xenmas is our leader, Vexen is head researcher, Zexion and you got magic and so on."

"Did you guys ever wonder I we could leave the organization?" Axel said laying back looking at the top of the tent.

"If we did, we'd probably get killed. It's like saying the mafia," Larxene answers. "Plus, we also have a reason to be in it," she said thinking about something. Nearby, Leon, Aerith, and Cloud were wearing disguises at a nearby table. They were just wearing sunglasses, hats, and acting casual.

"You gotta love tape recorders," Aerith says grabbing it and pressing the stop button.

A crowd gathers around Sora and Xion who were challenging each other in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" on the Wii. The battle was heating up and neither one was backing down. "You are going to lose Sora!" Xion shouted.

"Nah uh! I'm going to kick your butt!"

"Bring it on!" From the doorway, Hayner, Pence, Olette were watching the two having their sweat drop.

~ Secret Agent Kairi ~

10:00 p.m.

During the long passing hours, everybody has been working and the adults were having fun. The bad guys were still in the area but so far, the three have been acting like normal citizens and that shocks Kairi and the others. Hayner, Pence, and Olette pulled Sora and Xion from the video games about half an hour ago. The two end up in a tied after each round and it was always a different game and gaming console. Roxas and Namine were spending time together and none of their friends knew where they were. Kairi was trying to call both the two but neither are picking up.

"Where are those two? The firework show is about to start," she said sitting in the grass with Sora by her.

"Don't worry, they probably are somewhere where they can see it," Sora tells her. "Or Roxas here is just gonna keep on lying to her." He smiled looking at her. "You know, Valentine's Day is coming up."

"I know but I don't know what to get you… again," Kairi implied to the last time he said that.

"Okay, as long it's something I like cuz' I should be the one giving you the roses and chocolate." Everybody laughed remembering Sora and Roxas' birthday. "And I recall Namine giving Roxas the better present."

"Well, uh, she is rich after all. What do you expect from me?"

"Cuz you had Namine buy you the present also."

"Who told you?" Kairi asked. "You know what, lets stop talking about gifts already."

On the school roof, Roxas and Namine were just sitting feeling the wind breeze through them waiting for the firework show to come on in silence. Both have something else on their minds. Roxas had doubts but just ignored it while Namine couldn't believe that this was happening. Slowly feeling breaking out of her shell for him and thanks Kairi again for the two meeting.

"Wanna hear a secret," she asked looking at him.

"Hmph? What is it?" he said looking back.

"I always loved going to the beach." Roxas gave her and odd look.

"That's not a secret, that's just where you like to go."

"No silly. Just outside of Tsuki, there is a town called Kujūkuri and they have a beach there. I like to sit and do nothing while watching the ocean come shore and the waves crashing in. Just being there sounds peaceful and joyful hearing the happiness of people. The good part is not much known that there is one secret path that leads to this part of the beach that's unreachable."

"Do you go there often?" Roxas asked and Namine nodded.

"Before you guys came, I would go there everyday thinking about life in general. You know like, what is my life, who am I, and where I am going in the future and all. It makes me think."

Inside, Roxas's mind, he couldn't believe what's happening. Has everything gone too far already? She is now telling him a secret spot that she only knows and now he knows. Well, not exactly but he does. Now, he chickens out again knowing this moment could be ruined and he knows she does not want that. He just lets her dream. But how long can this dream of hers last? He goes back thinking what his brother said and Sora was right.

"Hey look, the fireworks are shooting up now," Namine pointed to the sky as color flashes on her and Roxas' bodies.

"What?" Roxas takes a look and sees the show as one by one each firework shoot up exploding making a 'boom' noise and sparkling after sounds. Different colors were seen in the sky and it continued. Namine then rested her head on Roxas' shoulder and he did too but he wasn't putting on happy smile that she could not see.

Hmm… to be honest, I've got to say unless you readers do. I know! Help this story progress you guys. Actually, help me on Hayner, Pence, and Olette. I feel like that they are just there. Tell me what to should they do. The rest are set to go.

Thanks for reading this chapter and review please!
