"Speaking"
:: Little voices::
* * *
Last Time:
"I...ummm..." /Come on Sora, you can do it. / Sora closed her eyes and let it out. "I love you."
"..." Kai was shocked she felt the same way. If he ever got around to saying it, he expected rejection. Sora opened her eyes again to see his reaction. All she could see was the purely shocked look on his face.
:: ALRIGHT! Now all you got to do is say, 'I love you too.' You got the east part. ::
/ ... /
:: Kai? HELLO! Kai, don't freeze now. Do something man, anything. ::
Sora was still extremely nervous, and as she waited for anything, anything for her to know how he felt, but he gave nothing other then shock.
:: KAI!!! :: Kai finally snapped out of his trance, and saw that Sora had her head lowered still waiting for his reply. :: Come on, you can do it. 'I' followed by 'love' and then...Kai what are you doing? :: The voice asked as Kai started to walk away and in to the cabin, leaving Sora outside.
~ Chapter 13: Goodbye Sora ~ (AN: *sniff-sniff* Last chapter.)
Kai entered the cabin and bee-lined it for the washroom. Ray was looking at him carefully, noticing that it didn't go so well. He had two choices now. One, go talk to Kai, or two, go talk to Sora.
*SLAM* was heard as the washroom door closed.
/I think I'll talk to Sora. / He decided, figuring that life was on his list of things to keep, and then headed outside.
Sora was sitting on the edge of the veranda, her legs hanging over the side, and leaning on the lower rails. Ray took a seat next to her but didn't say anything, as he could see that she was fighting off some tears.
"I guess you were wrong." She finally said, with an uneven voice.
* * *
Kai was pacing back and forth in the washroom, just trying to think.
::What's wrong with you? Why didn't you say something? ::
/I don't know. I got scared, I guess. /
:: Scared? Scared of what? ::
* * *
"I told him I loved him, but he didn't say anything. He just...left."
/Why would Kai do that? I know he loves her. / "He probably just wants some time." Ray tried to reassure. /I should go talk to Kai and find out why he didn't say anything. /
Sora nodded, "I guess." Ray patted her on the back and got up to leave, knowing that she probably wanted to be left alone for a little while. He decided that he would go have a talk with Kai now.
After Ray left, Sora looked up at the big full moon, and sighed, and then also went inside to talk to Mr. Dickinson.
* * *
Ray headed straight for the washroom when he entered the cabin. He heard Kai mumbling to himself and pacing back and forth. He knocked lightly on the door and heard Kai stop his movement.
"Kai?" Ray called. "Kai, can I talk to you?" There was a long pause, until the door unlocked. Ray opened it and saw Kai sitting on the side of the tub with his head in his hands, and his elbows on his knees. Ray shut the door again, knowing that if he got anything out of Kai, it would be a private matter. "So, what happened?" Ray said playing dumb, but Kai didn't respond right away.
"I...got scared." He admitted.
"Scared?" Ray asked a little confused, but Kai nodded. "Why would you be scared?"
"I dunno. I just am. For the first time in my life, I don't know what to do." Kai admitted, and Ray smiled.
"She's your first love, isn't she?" Kai nodded shyly.
"She's the first person that I can truly say I ever gave a damn about, and I couldn't even tell her how I felt."
"I know what you mean. I feel the same way with Mariah. I don't know what to do, but I know I care about her. Sometimes you got to take chances when you don't know what to do. Follow your heart." Satisfied that he said enough he got up and left shutting the door behind him.
"Follow my heart?"
* * *
Sora found Mr. Dickinson in the kitchen with the other guardians.
"Mr. Dickinson, can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Sure thing m'dear." He said following Sora back outside. "What is it?"
"I was wondering if you could book me an airline ticket home? I need to get back and straighten things out." She quickly explained.
"If you really need to leave then I can. When? "
"Tomorrow would be good if you could." She answered.
"Very well, but please come back and visit us." He said saddened, and then re-entered the cabin to book the flight.
/I don't want to go yet, but... I would feel uncomfortable if I stayed. / She thought and also re-entered the cabin.
* * *
/ ARG! WHY COULDN'T I TELL HER? / Kai screamed ready to beat himself.
:: Because you're a chicken:: His voice said matter-of-factly.
/ Am not. /
:: Are too. ::
/ Not. /
:: Then go tell her now. ::
/ ... /
:: Bwak bwak :: (AN: Is that how you spell that sound?)
*BANG*
/ Bwak bwak bang? /
:: It's the door moron. ::
"Hurry up little dude. I had beans for dinner." Screamed Mr. Kinomiya who was on the other side of the door jumping up and down trying to hold it in.
/Weirdo. / Thought Kai as he got up to leave.
:: And this comes from someone who talks to the little voice in his head. ::
/Shut up! /
* * *
"PLEASE!" Tyson screamed at Dizzi. She still hadn't played the movie since she was busy with her solitaire.
"Leave me alone Tyson. Go bug someone else, I'm busy." Dizzi said getting very annoyed.
"Tch! Fine." Tyson said and then started to scan the room. "SORA!" Sora looked left and right... there was no escape.
"Yeah?"
"What a game of cards?" Sora sighed.
/Why not? / "Sure."
"Yes!" Tyson said punching the air. He disappeared and reappeared with a deck of cards. "Let's play..." he stopped to think of something he was good at, but unfortunately drew a blank.
"How about Cheat?" Ray suggested sitting down. (AN: Cheats fun :) You have to be the first person to get rid of all your cards. If there is a four out, you must play a three, four, or five. If you don't have one, cheat, because all the cards are face down, so only you know what you played. If someone calls cheat on you, and you cheated, you must pick up the pile, either wise the person that called cheat must.)
"Hey I'm in!" Max called across the room. "We can finish this blade later." Kenny nodded and the two got up and approached the little group. Tyson stuck his tongue out at Dizzi.
"See I don't need you." Tyson said.
"Hmph." Was Dizzi's reply, as Kai came into the room and sat with the group. He and Sora did there best to avoid eye contact.
"Wanna play Kai?" Tyson asked.
"No." He said simply. "I'll just watch." Tyson shrugged and dealt all the cards out. During the game Tyson was doing all sorts of cheating, but every now and then.
"I play two threes." Tyson said placing two cards facedown on the pile.
"Hey Tyson? I didn't know that that's what a three looked like. You're so smart." Screamed Dizzi voice full of sarcasm. She was conveniently behind Tyson watching every card.
"CHEAT!" The whole group screamed laughing.
"Stupid computer!" Tyson grumbled picking up the pile and adding it to his hand. "Why don't you go play your game?"
"I have to make sure you don't cheat."
"BUT THAT'S PART OF THE GAME!" Tyson screamed.
"Oh well."
"Tyson please calm down." Said Mr. Dickinson entering the room. Tyson sighed but nodded.
"Okay."
"Is there something you need Mr. Dickinson?" Ray asked wondering why the old man appeared.
"Just wanted to tell Sora her plane ticket is booked, and that it is for tomorrow morning." Everyone eyes widen at this. Sora nodded and thanked him as he left.
"WHAT?!" Tyson screamed. "TO WHERE? WHY?"
"Well I wasn't a permitted member of the Blade Breakers. I was just needed for the tournament. The tournaments over now, and I need to get home. I have to get grandpa's will and everything straightened out." Sora tried to explain.
"I guess." Max said saddened that they were going to lose a friend.
"Where do you live?" Kenny asked, and Sora told him. "Hey that's not to far from where we all live, so we'll see each other again." Everyone nodded except for Kai who was in thought and looked extremely sad.
/ She's leaving...this is my fault. If I didn't freeze and just told her, then she wouldn't be leaving. /
They finished their card game and then decided to get to bed since Sora had to be there two hours in advance.
* * *
The next morning Sora was up early packing up all her stuff, making sure that she didn't forget anything. She gathered all her clothes and laundry as she tossed it in her bag, while making a mental checklist to make sure she had everything. The others were also up, well almost all of them. Max, Kenny, and Ray were trying to get Tyson up and Kai was thinking once again.
:: TELL HER!!! ::
/ I can't. She'll probably reject me now anyways. /
:: You'll regret it if you don't. ::
"All ready little dudette?" Mr. Kinomiya asked.
"Yep!" Sora said taking one last look around.
"Well then I guess it's time for them goodbyes." Mr. Kinomiya said giving her a bear hug. "It's been real little dudette."
Mr. Mizuhasa bowed and Sora did the same respectfully. "Max says you live near by. Drop over for dinner some time."
"Bye." Was all Mr. Kaido said, and Sora bowed to him.
"I haven't known you so long, but I can tell you are very talented. You should continue blading even without Fang." The Elder said bowing.
"Thank you. I probably will." She said bowing as well.
"Good luck in the future." Said Kenny's dad.
"Thanks!"
"Well let's get a move on." Mr. Dickinson said heading for the BBA bus. The Blade Breakers and Sora followed.
* * *
Once at the airport, Sora sent her luggage in to be loaded on the plane and then headed to the nearest café since Tyson missed out on breakfast. However Kai wasn't there, he was off roaming around somewhere in the airport.
"This taste soooooo good." Tyson screamed beating his chest every now and then trying to get the food down.
"How can you tell?" Kenny asked. Tyson glared as he shoved some toast into his mouth.
"Would all people on flight 102 China to Japan please head to the boarding room to prepare for boarding." The voice on the speakers said.
"Well... that's me." Sora said standing up. She looked around for Kai, but he was nowhere to be seen. /Oh well! / She thought as they headed to the security checkpoint. (AN: Where the sensors are and you walk through the metal detectors.) "I guess this is it." Sora said turning around to the others.
"I guess so." Tyson said sadly.
"Thank you Tyson, and Max. No matter what, you two were always there trying to bring a smile to my face and make me laugh." Tyson and Max nodded as they started to get teary. "Kenny. Thanks for all the debates. I learned a lot."
"Your welcome, but I think I learned more." He admitted.
"Dizzi, thanks for all your help too."
"I'm gonna miss you. Once you're gone, I'm just a laptop again. Being ignored and left to dust in the corner." Kenny just rolled his eyes and shut her cover.
"Hey-"
"Ray. Thanks for convincing me to... you know. I'd probably regret it if I didn't do it." Ray smiled.
"Too bad it never worked out."
"Yeah." Sora said sadly thinking back for a moment then snapped out of it. "Mr. Dickinson. Thank you for choosing me to join the team. I've never had so much fun before in my entire life."
"Thank you for joining. If it wasn't for you, we probably would have had to work harder in the tournament."
"And we all know how much Tyson doesn't like work." Kenny added, which earned a teary glare from Tyson. Sora looked around for Kai again, but still didn't see him. She couldn't wait any longer she had to go.
"Ummm Ray? Since Kai isn't here, could you give him this for me?" Sora asked taking out a small box. Ray nodded and took the box from her. "Well, I guess that's it. See ya back in Japan. Good luck with your next tournament, and if you're ever short a member, you know who to call." She said smiling. They all nodded and Sora started to walk away when her feet seem to grow heavy.
"DON'T GO!" Screamed a blonde and blue mop wrapped around either leg.
"I have to." Sora laughed, not realizing until now how much she was liked. Tyson and Max got off her legs bawling their eyes out.
"You better visit." Sora nodded.
"Promise." She said and then turned to leave again.
"WAIT!" Tyson screamed.
"I have to go." She said.
"Hold on." He said reaching into his pocket and pulled out the Ultimate blade. "Here." Sora looked shocked. "I want you to have this." Sora smiled.
"Tyson the blade chose you. You earned it, not me."
"But..."
"Don't worry. I don't need it anymore." Tyson nodded. "Bye guys." She said and left for the boarding room again.
Ray looked down at the box. /I should get this to Kai now. /
"Come on Ray." Tyson said bringing him out of his thoughts. "Were going to go outside and watch the plane take off."
"I'll be there in a minute. I have to... use the washroom. So go on without me." He said as he ran off in search of Kai.
"Alright." The others headed outside and saw the plane that Sora was going to be on.
"WOW IT'S HUGE!" Tyson screamed.
"It's a plane Tyson. People have to be able to get in to it."
* * *
/Where is he? I've searched ever corner of this place. / Ray thought scanning the area as he ran up and down the various halls of the airport. Just then he saw what looked like a white scarf. /Kai? / Ray rounded the corner he saw the scarf went and found Kai as he continued walking. "KAI!!!!" Kai stopped and turned to see Ray.
"What?"
"She's gone now you know. Why didn't you say goodbye?" Kai shrugged. "Here." Ray said holding out the box. Kai took it and looked at it funny.
"What is it?"
"I dunno. Sora asked me to give it to you. Now the others and me are going outside to watch the plane take-off. You're welcome to join us." Ray said and turned to leave, but not before he said, "Don't have any regrets."
Kai looked at the box curiously as he walked to a nearby bench and opened it up. Inside were a silver wolf necklace, and a letter.
"Dear Kai.
I hope you like this necklace. It's a little something I wanted you to have to remember me by. Good luck to you and the Blade Breakers.
Love Sora."
Kai reached in to his pocket and pulled out the necklace with the silver phoenix on it. "Don't have any regrets." He said to himself remembering Ray's words. He put the phoenix back in his pocket and the wolf around his neck and took off for someone that could help him.
He found himself running to a counter.
"May I help you?" Asked a smiling lady.
"I need a plane ticket of the flight going to Japan in five minutes."
"I'm sorry, they're boarding now."
"Please?" Kai begged. The lady frowned as she thought about it.
"You have any money?" Kai took out his wallet and pulled out all the Christmas money he got from his grandfather. The lady smiled.
"Hold on." Kai's eyes lit up with glee.
* * *
"Where's Kai?" Max asked. "The plane will be leaving soon, since they're almost done boarding."
/I don't know. / Ray thought worriedly.
* * *
Kai was now running past all the security checkpoints. Flashing his ticket, knowing that if he didn't make it, it was all over. As he entered the boarding room, two men were closing the doors.
"WAIT!" Kai screamed running up to them. "I'm on this flight." He said giving them his ticket. The two men shrugged and let him through. Kai ran on to the plane and saw that he entered from the back because everyone had there back turned to him. He instantly started to scan for Sora.
* * *
/I wonder where Kai is? I guess... I guess he doesn't like me at all. I guess I ruined our friendship. / Sora sighed looking out the window as she saw the other Blade Breakers waving.
* * *
Kai smirked. She wasn't paying any attention. He borrowed a pen and paper from someone, and wrote a quick note. As he casually walked past Sora, he put the note and the phoenix necklace in the empty seat next to her, and then took a seat at the front.
"Hello, my name is Cindy and I will be your flight attendant on this ride from China to Japan." She then started going over the procedures and rules, like how if the facemasks fall to place it over your mouth and then assist anyone that may need help. "Thank you and please enjoy the flight." She said as she sat down fasten her seatbelt.
Sora was still looking out the window at the still waving Blade Breakers. "Bye Blade Breakers!" She whispered and then looked forward, but something white caught the corner of her eye. She looked and saw a note and necklace. She picked them up and saw a phoenix. /Kai? / She instantly thought, looking around.
Kai was more then amused at the front as he watched.
Sora opened the note and it said, "Come find me." Sora impatiently waited for the 'keep your seatbelt on' sign to go away. As soon as it was turned off with a ding, Sora stood up and started scanning up and down the many rows.
/Where is he? Is this a joke or something? / Sora then started to walk up and down the aisle to get a close look at the people in the seats, but none of them were Kai.
"Looking for someone?" Came an all to familiar voice. Sora instantly looked at the speaker and her eyes widen. It WAS Kai. Sora was about to speak when there was a loud 'Down in front'. Sora blushed realizing she was blocking the big television screen and sat down next to Kai.
"What-" Sora was cut off as her lips made contact with something. When her senses came back she realized it was Kai's lips. Kai broke the kiss and was staring into her midnight blue eyes.
"I love you!" He said with all his heart, waiting to see if Sora would still accept him. Sora was still trying to process everything though. Kai was getting nervous, he now knew how Sora felt the other night, and could only imagine how she felt when he left. He regretted that now, and was doing his best make up for it.
When it all finally sunk in Sora smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "I love you too!" She said and then kissed him again.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwww!!!" Was heard throughout the plane. Sora and Kai turned around in their seats to see that all the passengers and flight attendants were watching them. They both instantly turned red not knowing what to do. The man who had originally screamed 'down in front' was now screaming 'kiss her'. Sora blushed when she heard it, but blushed even more when Kai did. The whole plane was now, hooting and 'awwww'ing the two.
"Merry Chirstmas Sora!"
The End (AN: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
* * *
That was short, sorry, but I did it. I finished my first story... but now what? Oh yeah, I remember. I have two things to do. One, to continue writing the story I posted a while ago (REALLY...different. Nothing like this one), and two... to try and write a sequel to 'Fighting Spirits' : ) I was debating myself wheatear or not to do it because I had no idea what to do, but thanks to an e-mail from glaramee@cogeco.ca (sorry you never left your name) who gave me an idea on what I can do in the sequel, I will. Besides some you guys really want me too *feels special again for the one billionth time while writing this story* : ) Oh and if anyone has an idea I can use in the sequel then please leave them in a review or e-mail.
Oh yeah! I won't be able to read/review, or write/update for the next week : ( *sniff-sniff* Gonna miss that. You see I'm going to my grandmothers for a week because it's going to be her birthday, and she has no computer. I do know a few people down there with computers, maybe I can sneak on to one of them : )
THANKS TO:
Someguy: lol, don't worry; I've done that a million times (accidentally send). You will find out the name since I'm doing a sequel now : ) Yeah I liked the journal too. It made him nice, without being too nice. Hey, I resent that. I go at presents like a wild dog too, lol. The pizza boy was able to do all that because he's a 'miracle' pizza boy, lol, it's the only thing I can come up that actually has the pizza boy get out in one piece.
DestinyBabee: I will write a sequel *feels proud of that*. :D
DarkSayainPrincess: *sniff* I can't type faster, but I am getting better. Glad you love it, and I hope you like this one too.
¥¤Gallantus¤¥: Glad you like it, and here is the last chapter.
Aenoni: Will this make up for Kai walking away? So you like Mr. Tsuki now huh? Lol.
Lady Sapphire: I have to say that your review was the highlight. I LMAO, cause in an earlier review you suggested that I either killed him or made him nice, so I did both. Lol, I thought you'd like it, technically it was what you asked for, *starts laughing again*. I can only imagine your facial expression right now. Yeah, Kai did it. *Pats him on the back*, and I'm doing a sequel, :)
Sun[Moon]-gIrL: Enjoy, here is the next chapter.
KaWaIi^-^tEnShI: I did it so that the big finale was like that *points up to story*. : )
Dark Magicain: You think Mr. Tsuki is weird huh? Well he didn't kill them on purpose he was drunk. And when he did it he freaked, but yeah, I guess he's a weird fellow. Oh well, he's dead now, and I can't do much about that. I don't think I could do it either, you know the writing, the walking, and the dieing. Too much work! Do I understand 'ending'...hmmmmm? "End...ing" Never heard of it, lol.
Nightswift: Lucky you on vacation. I'm going on vacation too now, on Monday, and I'll also be back before you, lol. But... where I'm going there aren't to many computers *sigh*. Sabrina had a mistletoe, the three- leafed thing with berries. Its tradition to kiss under it : ) Ummm, the grammar in this is probably worst, cause I can't remember if I went over it. But it can't have that many mistakes since it's short, good logic huh? Lol. Don't worry bout correcting it, I'm almost done the story anyways, but when I start the sequel your more then welcome to help me out again : ) *hint-hint* *nudge-nudge* Lol. Yeah, Mr. Tsuki is weird I guess, but he did give her a home.
FinalFCloudS: Oh a Final Fantasy fan, lol, sorry I love them too. Anyways, Glad you like it and I'm doing a sequel : )
Iceeybabe89: Glad you like it, and yeah Kai can be an idiot. Yep she went home, but got followed, lol. Will read your story now and then send you an e-mail. Sorry I never did it sooner.
Oh yeah thanks to:

"I know what you mean. I feel the same way with Mariah. I don't know what to do, but I know I care about her. Sometimes you got to take chances when you don't know what to do. Follow your heart." Satisfied that he said enough he got up and left shutting the door behind him.
"Follow my heart?"

"PLEASE!" Tyson screamed at Dizzi. She still hadn't played the movie since she was busy with her solitaire.
"Leave me alone Tyson. Go bug someone else, I'm busy." Dizzi said getting very annoyed.
"Tch! Fine." Tyson said and then started to scan the room. "SORA!" Sora looked left and right... there was no escape.
"Yeah?"
"What a game of cards?" Sora sighed.
/Why not? / "Sure."
"Yes!" Tyson said punching the air. He disappeared and reappeared with a deck of cards. "Let's play..." he stopped to think of something he was good at, but unfortunately drew a blank.

"BUT THAT'S PART OF THE GAME!" Tyson screamed.
"Oh well."
"Tyson please calm down." Said Mr. Dickinson entering the room. Tyson sighed but nodded.
"Okay."
"Is there something you need Mr. Dickinson?" Ray asked wondering why the old man appeared.
"Just wanted to tell Sora her plane ticket is booked, and that it is for tomorrow morning." Everyone eyes widen at this. Sora nodded and thanked him as he left.
"WHAT?!" Tyson screamed. "TO WHERE? WHY?"
"Well I wasn't a permitted member of the Blade Breakers. I was just needed for the tournament. The tournaments over now, and I need to get home. I have to get grandpa's will and everything straightened out." Sora tried to explain.
"I guess." Max said saddened that they were going to lose a friend.
"Where do you live?" Kenny asked, and Sora told him. "Hey that's not to far from where we all live, so we'll see each other again." Everyone nodded except for Kai who was in thought and looked extremely sad.
/ She's leaving...this is my fault. If I didn't freeze and just told her, then she wouldn't be leaving. /
They finished their card game and then decided to get to bed since Sora had to be there two hours in advance.
* * *
The next morning Sora was up early packing up all her stuff, making sure that she didn't forget anything. She gathered all her clothes and laundry as she tossed it in her bag, while making a mental checklist to make sure she had everything. The others were also up, well almost all of them. Max, Kenny, and Ray were trying to get Tyson up and Kai was thinking once again.
:: TELL HER!!! ::
/ I can't. She'll probably reject me now anyways. /
:: You'll regret it if you don't. ::
"All ready little dudette?" Mr. Kinomiya asked.
"Yep!" Sora said taking one last look around.
"Well then I guess it's time for them goodbyes." Mr. Kinomiya said giving her a bear hug. "It's been real little dudette."
Mr. Mizuhasa bowed and Sora did the same respectfully. "Max says you live near by. Drop over for dinner some time."
"Bye." Was all Mr. Kaido said, and Sora bowed to him.
"I haven't known you so long, but I can tell you are very talented. You should continue blading even without Fang." The Elder said bowing.
"Thank you. I probably will." She said bowing as well.
"Good luck in the future." Said Kenny's dad.
"Thanks!"
"Well let's get a move on." Mr. Dickinson said heading for the BBA bus. The Blade Breakers and Sora followed.
* * *
Once at the airport, Sora sent her luggage in to be loaded on the plane and then headed to the nearest café since Tyson missed out on breakfast. However Kai wasn't there, he was off roaming around somewhere in the airport.
"This taste soooooo good." Tyson screamed beating his chest every now and then trying to get the food down.
"How can you tell?" Kenny asked. Tyson glared as he shoved some toast into his mouth.
"Would all people on flight 102 China to Japan please head to the boarding room to prepare for boarding." The voice on the speakers said.
"Well... that's me." Sora said standing up. She looked around for Kai, but he was nowhere to be seen. /Oh well! / She thought as they headed to the security checkpoint. (AN: Where the sensors are and you walk through the metal detectors.) "I guess this is it." Sora said turning around to the others.
"I guess so." Tyson said sadly.
"Thank you Tyson, and Max. No matter what, you two were always there trying to bring a smile to my face and make me laugh." Tyson and Max nodded as they started to get teary. "Kenny. Thanks for all the debates. I learned a lot."
"Your welcome, but I think I learned more." He admitted.
"Dizzi, thanks for all your help too."
"I'm gonna miss you. Once you're gone, I'm just a laptop again. Being ignored and left to dust in the corner." Kenny just rolled his eyes and shut her cover.
"Hey-"
"Ray. Thanks for convincing me to... you know. I'd probably regret it if I didn't do it." Ray smiled.
"Too bad it never worked out."
"Yeah." Sora said sadly thinking back for a moment then snapped out of it. "Mr. Dickinson. Thank you for choosing me to join the team. I've never had so much fun before in my entire life."
"Thank you for joining. If it wasn't for you, we probably would have had to work harder in the tournament."
"And we all know how much Tyson doesn't like work." Kenny added, which earned a teary glare from Tyson. Sora looked around for Kai again, but still didn't see him. She couldn't wait any longer she had to go.
"Ummm Ray? Since Kai isn't here, could you give him this for me?" Sora asked taking out a small box. Ray nodded and took the box from her. "Well, I guess that's it. See ya back in Japan. Good luck with your next tournament, and if you're ever short a member, you know who to call." She said smiling. They all nodded and Sora started to walk away when her feet seem to grow heavy.
"DON'T GO!" Screamed a blonde and blue mop wrapped around either leg.
"I have to." Sora laughed, not realizing until now how much she was liked. Tyson and Max got off her legs bawling their eyes out.
"You better visit." Sora nodded.
"Promise." She said and then turned to leave again.
"WAIT!" Tyson screamed.
"I have to go." She said.
"Hold on." He said reaching into his pocket and pulled out the Ultimate blade. "Here." Sora looked shocked. "I want you to have this." Sora smiled.
"Tyson the blade chose you. You earned it, not me."
"But..."
"Don't worry. I don't need it anymore." Tyson nodded. "Bye guys." She said and left for the boarding room again.
Ray looked down at the box. /I should get this to Kai now. /
"Come on Ray." Tyson said bringing him out of his thoughts. "Were going to go outside and watch the plane take off."
"I'll be there in a minute. I have to... use the washroom. So go on without me." He said as he ran off in search of Kai.
"Alright." The others headed outside and saw the plane that Sora was going to be on.
"WOW IT'S HUGE!" Tyson screamed.
"It's a plane Tyson. People have to be able to get in to it."
* * *
/Where is he? I've searched ever corner of this place. / Ray thought scanning the area as he ran up and down the various halls of the airport. Just then he saw what looked like a white scarf. /Kai? / Ray rounded the corner he saw the scarf went and found Kai as he continued walking. "KAI!!!!" Kai stopped and turned to see Ray.
"What?"
"She's gone now you know. Why didn't you say goodbye?" Kai shrugged. "Here." Ray said holding out the box. Kai took it and looked at it funny.
"What is it?"
"I dunno. Sora asked me to give it to you. Now the others and me are going outside to watch the plane take-off. You're welcome to join us." Ray said and turned to leave, but not before he said, "Don't have any regrets."
Kai looked at the box curiously as he walked to a nearby bench and opened it up. Inside were a silver wolf necklace, and a letter.
"Dear Kai.
I hope you like this necklace. It's a little something I wanted you to have to remember me by. Good luck to you and the Blade Breakers.
Love Sora."
Kai reached in to his pocket and pulled out the necklace with the silver phoenix on it. "Don't have any regrets." He said to himself remembering Ray's words. He put the phoenix back in his pocket and the wolf around his neck and took off for someone that could help him.
He found himself running to a counter.
"May I help you?" Asked a smiling lady.
"I need a plane ticket of the flight going to Japan in five minutes."
"I'm sorry, they're boarding now."
"Please?" Kai begged. The lady frowned as she thought about it.
"You have any money?" Kai took out his wallet and pulled out all the Christmas money he got from his grandfather. The lady smiled.
"Hold on." Kai's eyes lit up with glee.
* * *
"Where's Kai?" Max asked. "The plane will be leaving soon, since they're almost done boarding."
/I don't know. / Ray thought worriedly.
* * *
Kai was now running past all the security checkpoints. Flashing his ticket, knowing that if he didn't make it, it was all over. As he entered the boarding room, two men were closing the doors.
"WAIT!" Kai screamed running up to them. "I'm on this flight." He said giving them his ticket. The two men shrugged and let him through. Kai ran on to the plane and saw that he entered from the back because everyone had there back turned to him. He instantly started to scan for Sora.
* * *
/I wonder where Kai is? I guess... I guess he doesn't like me at all. I guess I ruined our friendship. / Sora sighed looking out the window as she saw the other Blade Breakers waving.
* * *
Kai smirked. She wasn't paying any attention. He borrowed a pen and paper from someone, and wrote a quick note. As he casually walked past Sora, he put the note and the phoenix necklace in the empty seat next to her, and then took a seat at the front.
"Hello, my name is Cindy and I will be your flight attendant on this ride from China to Japan." She then started going over the procedures and rules, like how if the facemasks fall to place it over your mouth and then assist anyone that may need help. "Thank you and please enjoy the flight." She said as she sat down fasten her seatbelt.
Sora was still looking out the window at the still waving Blade Breakers. "Bye Blade Breakers!" She whispered and then looked forward, but something white caught the corner of her eye. She looked and saw a note and necklace. She picked them up and saw a phoenix. /Kai? / She instantly thought, looking around.
Kai was more then amused at the front as he watched.
Sora opened the note and it said, "Come find me." Sora impatiently waited for the 'keep your seatbelt on' sign to go away. As soon as it was turned off with a ding, Sora stood up and started scanning up and down the many rows.
/Where is he? Is this a joke or something? / Sora then started to walk up and down the aisle to get a close look at the people in the seats, but none of them were Kai.
"Looking for someone?" Came an all to familiar voice. Sora instantly looked at the speaker and her eyes widen. It WAS Kai. Sora was about to speak when there was a loud 'Down in front'. Sora blushed realizing she was blocking the big television screen and sat down next to Kai.
"What-" Sora was cut off as her lips made contact with something. When her senses came back she realized it was Kai's lips. Kai broke the kiss and was staring into her midnight blue eyes.
"I love you!" He said with all his heart, waiting to see if Sora would still accept him. Sora was still trying to process everything though. Kai was getting nervous, he now knew how Sora felt the other night, and could only imagine how she felt when he left. He regretted that now, and was doing his best make up for it.
When it all finally sunk in Sora smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "I love you too!" She said and then kissed him again.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwww!!!" Was heard throughout the plane. Sora and Kai turned around in their seats to see that all the passengers and flight attendants were watching them. They both instantly turned red not knowing what to do. The man who had originally screamed 'down in front' was now screaming 'kiss her'. Sora blushed when she heard it, but blushed even more when Kai did. The whole plane was now, hooting and 'awwww'ing the two.
"Merry Chirstmas Sora!"
The End (AN: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
* * *
That was short, sorry, but I did it. I finished my first story... but now what? Oh yeah, I remember. I have two things to do. One, to continue writing the story I posted a while ago (REALLY...different. Nothing like this one), and two... to try and write a sequel to 'Fighting Spirits' : ) I was debating myself wheatear or not to do it because I had no idea what to do, but thanks to an e-mail from glaramee@cogeco.ca (sorry you never left your name) who gave me an idea on what I can do in the sequel, I will. Besides some you guys really want me too *feels special again for the one billionth time while writing this story* : ) Oh and if anyone has an idea I can use in the sequel then please leave them in a review or e-mail.
Oh yeah! I won't be able to read/review, or write/update for the next week : ( *sniff-sniff* Gonna miss that. You see I'm going to my grandmothers for a week because it's going to be her birthday, and she has no computer. I do know a few people down there with computers, maybe I can sneak on to one of them : )
THANKS TO:
Someguy: lol, don't worry; I've done that a million times (accidentally send). You will find out the name since I'm doing a sequel now : ) Yeah I liked the journal too. It made him nice, without being too nice. Hey, I resent that. I go at presents like a wild dog too, lol. The pizza boy was able to do all that because he's a 'miracle' pizza boy, lol, it's the only thing I can come up that actually has the pizza boy get out in one piece.
DestinyBabee: I will write a sequel *feels proud of that*. :D
DarkSayainPrincess: *sniff* I can't type faster, but I am getting better. Glad you love it, and I hope you like this one too.
¥¤Gallantus¤¥: Glad you like it, and here is the last chapter.
Aenoni: Will this make up for Kai walking away? So you like Mr. Tsuki now huh? Lol.
Lady Sapphire: I have to say that your review was the highlight. I LMAO, cause in an earlier review you suggested that I either killed him or made him nice, so I did both. Lol, I thought you'd like it, technically it was what you asked for, *starts laughing again*. I can only imagine your facial expression right now. Yeah, Kai did it. *Pats him on the back*, and I'm doing a sequel, :)
Sun[Moon]-gIrL: Enjoy, here is the next chapter.
KaWaIi^-^tEnShI: I did it so that the big finale was like that *points up to story*. : )
Dark Magicain: You think Mr. Tsuki is weird huh? Well he didn't kill them on purpose he was drunk. And when he did it he freaked, but yeah, I guess he's a weird fellow. Oh well, he's dead now, and I can't do much about that. I don't think I could do it either, you know the writing, the walking, and the dieing. Too much work! Do I understand 'ending'...hmmmmm? "End...ing" Never heard of it, lol.
Nightswift: Lucky you on vacation. I'm going on vacation too now, on Monday, and I'll also be back before you, lol. But... where I'm going there aren't to many computers *sigh*. Sabrina had a mistletoe, the three- leafed thing with berries. Its tradition to kiss under it : ) Ummm, the grammar in this is probably worst, cause I can't remember if I went over it. But it can't have that many mistakes since it's short, good logic huh? Lol. Don't worry bout correcting it, I'm almost done the story anyways, but when I start the sequel your more then welcome to help me out again : ) *hint-hint* *nudge-nudge* Lol. Yeah, Mr. Tsuki is weird I guess, but he did give her a home.
FinalFCloudS: Oh a Final Fantasy fan, lol, sorry I love them too. Anyways, Glad you like it and I'm doing a sequel : )
Iceeybabe89: Glad you like it, and yeah Kai can be an idiot. Yep she went home, but got followed, lol. Will read your story now and then send you an e-mail. Sorry I never did it sooner.
Oh yeah thanks to:
