Chapter 25: Under pressure

"But it doesn't work..." I sigh and whisper as I get up from the piano bench and head out with my backpack. No one was left in the school. I mean, who would like to stay here until about 5:17 anyways, and by choice?!

"Where have you been?" Roxas almost roared, "I looked all over for you on campus!"

"Well then I guess you didn't look good enough." I retort hastily. "I was occupied with the piano, hey, where's auntie?"

"She's gone on some business thing outside of town for a while. She'll be back eventually." Roxas said and held up a pair of scissors, "I'll be cutting."

I gasp in my playful way, "Oh my! Roxas, don't tell me you've gone E-M-O!" I joke and laugh as he rolls his eyes in his typical way.

"No, einstein, I'm going to be cutting some of my papers up."

"Why?"

"You know that F's aren't real nice to deal with? Especially that one time when I got grounded for it."

"It's called getting a red pen." I smile.

"What?"

"Nevermind. You should shred them and burn them if you want to get rid of them." I nod my head in agreement with myself.

"Okay. I'll go do that...and Kairi!"

"Yeah?"

"We never had this conversation......" He said making a lot of un-neccesary movements with his arms, fingers, and hands as he backs away.

I laugh and go into the kitchen finding some salad and I was grossed out by it. I mean, come on, Rabbit food does not deserve my attention! I look in all of the cabinets for my chips and frown. I ran out! That is like-impossible!!!

"ROXAS!" I scream and he storms inside, finding me broken down beside one of the cabinets, all of them were swung open to reveal my missing need.

"Oh yeah, she thinks you need to eat more healthy food."

"WHAT!? What did she do to my babies?! Where are my doritos?!" I demand screaching.

"She gave them to a couple of kids walking by." Roxas shrugged and went back to the work room where the shredder was abused with all of Roxas's failing papers.

Damn that woman!

I growel a bunch of non-intelligent things before stomping upstairs and into my room to see that someone was in the pool. A familiar group of kids.

"ROXAS!" I scream louder and run downstairs to him.

"Hmm?" He said turning around. "What is it now?"

"Who invited them?! Why are they in out pool? Why-why the fuck are they even near this property?!" I burst.

"What are you talking about?"

"They're in our pool! Must I spell it out?!"

We both went inside, well after I decided to wear my bikini top and some shorts, armed with water guns and what not.

"Oh my, look at that, it's Kairi and Roxas." Axel roared in laughter as he floated above water.

"I will call the poli-" Roxas starts and I stop him abruptly.

"What are you eating?" I ask calmly.

"Food..." They replied, "Chips...Doritos?" They said eyeing me cautiously.

I almost burned up inside, "Get your hands off of that! I will beat the living hell out of you!" I scream as I run towards them.

Roxas's hands slip around me, holding me back as I kick my legs in the air.

"LET ME AT THEM!" I demand madly, throwing a near by pot towards one of their heads.

"Watch out there, princess, you can hurt yourself like that." Axel laughed and got out of the water. Dripping water all over he examined Roxas and pushed him away with ease. Looking down at me with those emeral eyes. Ugly.

"Pretty nice outfit you have there, huh?" He smirked and held on to my wrist.

I attempt to pull away and hit him but I only end up jerking around.

"Come on, lets play a little!" He said enthusiasticly and threw me into the water by just lifting me up and tossing me, with a big splash I sink to the bottom and think about all of the possibilities of killing him.\

Never mess with a chick who is feisty. They will make you crazy.

I come up from the water and glare at Axel who was laughing haughtyly.

"Shut up, bitch." I hiss at him and he raises his eyebrows.

"What did you just call me?"

"I called you a femal dog, bitch, is that too hard to understand for your tiny brain?" I retort rudely and lean out of the water.

He walked towards me with a threatening look. Roxas looked around and panicked, he ran towards Axel and held him back. All of his friends were watching them as they fought. I mean come on, how can you not watch?

"Go get at her!" Axel ordered and his followers came rushing towards me and held me in place. "Make her know that she does not disrespect us!" He screached as he gut-shot Roxas.

"You heard what he told us." Sora's whisper in my ear made me shudder and he held down my mouth.

They dunk me and held me down.

Damn, they were drowning me, in my own fucking pool!

I hit at them rapidly until I can't fight or move anymore. My body felt so weak and my eyes were drfiting. I couldn't breathe.

They pulled me up and I screamed for air, getting a few before being held down again.

I never wanted to live through this again. So why do they make me live through this once more?! It was already bad enough that my parents did this, but, now, Sora?!

Do all people I love end up trying to kill me.

After another while, I came up and bit down on Sora's hand and pushed myself out of the water. I scramble up awkwardly and see that Roxas and Axel were still fighting.

This had to end.

I see a figure near my property and scream. "HELP! HELP US! PLEASE SOMEONE! AHH!" I yelp as Sora pulled me back into the water.

"Why do you do this?" I whimper to him with tears in my eyes that were just like the water, so no one could really tell.

"Why wouldn't I?" He chuckled madly.

I glare at him. "I hate what you are now. That's not you." I cry and pound on his chest, resisting his grip on my arms. So violent, so hostile.

"You're being absurd, I've always been like this." He said and forced me under the water where I struggled and fought, something I hardly ever did back then when I was younger.

"Shut up!" I scream. "You don't even know!" I scream as I keep hitting him and crying, repeating, "You don't know....you don't, Sora." I cry louder and louder. My fists fall to my sides and I feel his arms around me.

Was he....hugging me?

"What are you doing?" I ask in a whisper.

"I don't know." He said and pushed away from me. "You're some kind of witch? Stop messing with my head!" He screamed at me and I stared, sadly.

I turned around because of a loud scream. Female.

I saw Namine standing there, glass around her and a fallen Axel in all of the middle of it.

"NAMINE!" I shout and hurry out of the water, before someone else could get me.

I run into her arms and she hugs me for a while.

"It will all be over soon, believe me, it will."

So yeah, they got arrested pretty soon, and I was greatful for that. Except for the fact how Sora looked at me with this weird stare, this odd little stare, you know, the one that tells you that they're confused and they don't know what is going on. I hate that look, so I ignored it as much as I could and decided to nurse the injured Roxas who grunted for a while, wiping his mouth.

I sat down with Namine and talked for a while about several things. I missed everything about Sora that was gone.

"He is simply not responding, and I have been trying to set back his memories and personality. But something was missing, and it was pretty hard to figure out, until I discovered some over looked things."

"What are they?" I ask her in a raspy tone as she runs a hand through her perfect blond locks.

"He needs something from you."

I snort, "Yea? Like what? A kick in the ass? I'll be glad to do that." I groan a little at the scratches on my arm.

"That is why I brought this with me today," She pulled out a book in leather bindings, "Here, this is an important book and I've been researching it." She trailed her finger around the cover, "It's full of secrets, so I can't talk about too much." She smiled weakly, "Well, I found out that Sora is capable of remembering you if you act out the scene with him again."

"What scene?"

"When he fell in love with you."

"At the tree?" I ask confused and she nodded.

"That is where it had begun."

"That seems like a hard thing to do."

"I will set it up tomorrow, so you will be able to re-inact it. Well it'll be more like watching it but still, you get what I am trying to tell you. Anyways, Sora will remember and it will all end soon. He will know what he did, and I hope this will work."

"How will I know when it's happening?"

"You'll know." She laughed, sounding like soft bells in the air as she said goodbye and left me with that one clue.

I sat in my room, candles flickering shadows around me as I stare at the flame, studying it.

This is myself-

Under pressure.
