here ya go!
------Chapter 37 [1 day-------
(Namine's POV)
If you came up me when I was 10 years old and told me about the accident and how I lost my memory and my parents at once, I would have thought you were loopy and showed you to the closest mental hospital.
Now I see why Tai and Kairi didn't run up to me and tell me all about the past. First of all, they needed to know if I was really their cousin. Secondly,you don't exactly walk up to someone and say "Hey, I'm your long-lost cousin. You lost your memory in a car accident and both your parents died!"
If you came up to me and said I was going to court to witness for my two cousins to determine their legal guardian, I would have sent you to the closest asylum. Now I see it's true.
I see Tai and Kairi sitting anixiously over on the other side of the room.
I wasn't really paying attention to the judge.
Lemme explain what happened that got me to where I am today...
When I was born, my father moved into his parents' old home with my aunty Lina. My mother didn't like it. But I got closer to my two cousins, Kairi and Tai. We became inseparable, being homeschooled by Aunt Lina. Tai and Kairi has dyslexia but Tai recovered from it. Over time, my parents argued more and more while Aunty Lina and Uncle Wei started to fight. Our family was dysfunctional. One day when I was seven, I went with my parents to the supermarket. Our car fell off the bridge and fell upside down on the rocks below. Luckily, I climbed out of the car and wasn't as injured. However, I suffered a severe blow to the head and lost all my memory. Meanwhile, Kairi and Tai's parents were getting a divorce so I couldn't stay with them. I was sent away before I could remember Kairi or Tai. The divorce went through and Kairi went with her dad to another place while Tai stayed at the house. After a year, Aunt Lina moved herself and Tai to Twilight Town. When he was ten, Kairi and her father moved to Twilight Town and the twins were reunited. Then two years ago, I moved here.
It's a lot of drama.
I found myself being in the courtroom completely pointless. I wasn't needed at all.
"Now, may the kids leave?" The judge asked. I stood up immediately and followed Tai and Kairi out.
"It's so stuffy in there" Tai said.
Kairi nodded. She still had no voice. And she showed no sign of getting her voice back. And tomorrow was the final cut!
Did...she..plan this?
----------(Tai's POV)----------
I was falling asleep in that courtroom. Sure I was anxious to know who I was gonna live with but come on! All they do is drone on and on!
"I'm in the mood for ice cream!" I said childly.
"But the closest ice cream place is downtown" Namine said.
"I got my driver's permit, remember?" I smirked. Kairi gasped. She smacked my arm and shook her head. "What? I have my permit and no police guy is gonna stop us."
"There's no licensed driver in the front seat" Namine pointed out.
"Well, who cares?" I said, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my...da...Kairi's dad's car keys. I unlocked the car doors.
Namine looked unsure while Kairi was furious with me.
"Chill, I wasn't the one who got my permit revoked!" I remarked, sliding into the driver seat. Kairi sighed and got into the passenger seat. Namine finally gave in and got into the back.
Now I'm not a bad driver but I'm definately not the best. From the looks on Kairi and Namine's faces, they were terrified.
"Ok, we're at my house" I said, parking there. "We have to walk downtown, guys."
They got out and I locked the car.
"Hey, I'm not that bad of a driver, am I?"
"Yeah you are" Kairi mouthed to me. I could hear a slight tiny bit of her voice.
Damn, I was kinda missing her voice right now.
We walked downtown and bought some ice cream.
Kairi got up. "Where you going?" I asked.
She mouthed "Bathroom."
"Hmm...lemme go too" I said, getting up. "Be back." We both went to the bathrooms, separating into the boy's or girl's.
----------(Normal POV)---------
"Wow, they left me," Namine sighed. She kept eating and just sat there.
And then she heard the voice she had deeply missed hearing.
"Namine?" she heard. She stood up and turned around. There was Sora...
"Sora..." She whispered.
"Don't walk off" Sora said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry for everything that's been going on with you. And I'm sorry-"
"There's no reason for you to be sorry, Sora" Namine cut him off. "It was my own fault for being like that."
Sora smiled. "So we're good?"
Namine nodded. "Yeah, we're good."
"So you don't mind if I eat some of your ice cream" Sora said, taking a fingerfull of ice cream and eating it.
"Hey! Get your own!" Namine laughed.
Sora and Namine sat down side by side.
"Namine..." Sora started to say. She looked over to him.
"Yeah?"
He turned to look at her light blue eyes. "There's something I need to say to you..."
"What is it?" Namine asked.
"I-"
"NAMINE!" Tai cried out. "COME HERE, QUICKLY!" Tai and Kairi came running back to Namine.
"What?!" Namine said. Sora groaned, now that their moment was interruppted.
"Ok we was walking back from the bathroom right" Tai started to explain. "And like we heard yelling all up inside the ice cream shop. So we went to check it out."
"Wait, is it in Gentle Ice Cream Parlor?" Sora asked, interrupting them. Kairi nodded. "Oh no!" Sora shot up and raced to the ice cream shop.
"What's up with that?" Tai asked.
"Who cares?!" Namine said, before she took off after him. Kairi and Tai followed.
Inside, a big crowd formed. Everyone cleared the way for Kairi and Tai.
"Hotaru?" Namine whispered. Sora's eyes hardened at the sight of her. She was sitting on the floor, crying. Her hair was messed up and her skirt was torn.
"What's going on?!" Sora yelled out.
"She dropped my ice cream" Olette said. "So my girls taught her a nice little lesson." She came out of the crowd.
Kairi's eyes seemed to have flashed red. She walked up and stood in front of Hotaru.
"Oh, if it isn't Lil Ms. No Voice" Olette's group laughed. "What do you want?"
Kairi clenched her fists. "You...bitch!!" She said in her normal voice. Everyone was stunned. Kairi got her voice back?!
Now everyone was shocked when Kairi lifted her fist and collided it with Olette's face.
It was a swift movement. She socked her right in the face. Olette clutched her nose and stumbled backwards, falling on the bar.
"Why don't you teach me a lesson?!" Kairi yelled out. She slowly wanted up to Olette. "Huh?! Why don't ya?!"
Selphie, Fuu and Aerith stepped up. Kairi was ready to hurt one of them when Roxas's arms came out of nowhere and embraced her.
"Stop, Kairi" He whispered. "That's enough."
Tai was the first to break the silence. "THAT'S MY GIRL! THAT IS MY SISTER RIGHT THERE! CAN YOUR SISTER DO THAT?! I DON'T THINK SO!"
The crowd started to cheer as Olette's group helped her up and walked her out. Olette's nose was bleeding like crazy and she was sobbing.
Roxas let go of Kairi and turned to Hotaru. He held out his hand to her.
"Come on, let's clean you up" Roxas said. Hotaru smiled and took his hand.
Sora walked up to Roxas and Hotaru. "Are you ok?" He asked her. Hotaru smiled bigger. Sora, Roxas and Hotaru embraced. Kairi stood on the outside, smiling to herself. Tai and Namine came up to her.
"You can talk! Wooo!" Tai said. He hugged her tightly. Surprisingly, she didn't push him away. Namine smiled. She couldn't help but wonder what the relationship beween Hotaru and the Hikari Twins were.
Kairi had regained her voice again. And now she could do the final cut.
Roxas turned to Namine and smiled at her. He held his arms out for a hug. She gave him a hug. "Sorry" She whispered to him.
"No problem."
Then, Kairi, Tai, Namine, Hotaru, Sora and Roxas sat down together and ate some ice cream.
------------------------------------
Tai, Kairi and Namine walked home and entered Tai's house, with an angry mother and a furious father waiting for them.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Lina screamed.
"YOU BRATS STOLE MY CAR!" Wei basically screeched.
"Momma, you didn't expect us to hang outside the courthouse all day so we drove downtown and hung out" Tai explained.
Lina sighed. "Well, at least you're home safely."
"WHAT?!" Wei screamed. "YOU'RE JUST GONNA LET THEM OFF THE HOOK?!"
"Wei, they have been under a lot of stress!" Lina argued.
"And we haven't?!" Wei said. "Your son stole my car!"
"Dad, we didn't do anything to it!" Kairi spoke up.
"Shut up! Go to sleep!" Wei yelled out, raising his hand to slap her. Kairi backed away.
"Stop it!" Lina yelled out, stopping his hand. "Kids, go to sleep."
The three nodded as they climbed upstair.
"You're a horrible parent!" Wei's voice rang upstairs.
"At least I don't beat my son!"
"It's called disipline!"
"It is called child abuse and it's illegal!"
"It's disipline!"
"Child abuse!"
"WOMAN! I HATE YOU!"
"I HATE YOU MORE. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
"I WILL LEAVE WHENEVER I WANNA LEAVE!"
"GET OUT NOW!"
The three got into Tai's room. Kairi on the floor, Tai on the floor and Namine on the bed.
They fell asleep, despite the arguments from downstairs. All three of them nervous about their perfomances tomorrow.
Everything fell on the next day.
