Aerith: I (sadly) do not own K.H, or any of its characters. I do own
however, Stanton, who is a figment of my weird and twisted mind.
ERH: THE HELL YOU OWN HIM!!
Aerith: Huh? Yeah I do.
ERH: DO NOT! I gave you the name, dammit!
Aerith: okay, okay, so u gave me the name, but the character HIMSELF
belongs to me and the little person franticly scribbling away ideas in my
head. Okay, happy now?
ERH: No, but I guess it'll have to do for now.
Aerith: Can I go on with the story now?
ERH: fine, but don't forget to tell them about The USW!!
Aerith: Oh, right. HEY! Everyone! I hope you enjoy this chapter of "To Die
For" and keep posted for the next ones. I'm working on the other chapts to
my other stories, now that I have a bit more time. Okay! I hope u enjoy
this!!
ERH: What about USW??
Aerith: I'll tell em at the end, now shut up and lemme alone!
To Die For
~*~*~*~*~*~
Remembrance.
Riku's words rung in Kairi's ears, making it difficult to pay attention to the fun and excitement going on around her. Everyone was in a hype about tomorrow being Halloween, but the only hype that Kairi was in was the one that she couldn't get out of, dwelling on the thought of what just happened. She was more upset than sad. Her eyes began to mist as emotion came over her when she thought about how happy she and Riku had been just a few days ago. 'How could he, after all we've been through?' Her thoughts changed then, to those of hurt and loss. 'Then again, how could I?' Thoughts like these ran through her mind for a while, then she looked up to the sky and shook her head. Clearing away the thoughts, she tried to focus on the now. 'There's nothing left to do or say. What's done is done, I can't look back.'
"Hey Kai, you okay?" Sora asked. " I'm here if ya need me, ya know." Kairi blinked. She looked down from the sky to him and smiled. He always knew how to say things to make her feel better, even if they were common words of comfort.
"Could be better though, thanks. But it's not like I've been hit with a truck." She replied. Sora only smiled, grabbed her hand and gave her fingertips a kiss. Kairi tried to smile back, but if was more of an awkward grimace.
It was Ironic, because being hit by a truck was EXACTLY how she felt right then. The pain hadn't subsided from the blow that Riku had given. She missed him, though she knew it would be better without him.
"So!" Selphie said, interrupting the noise of the group. "When are you guys coming over?" People exchanged glances and some random shrugs went around. Selphie was having a haunted house for Halloween, and everyone was either going or help set up. Aerith, Cloud, Yuffie and Tidus were going to go over early and help set up, while Kairi, Leon and Sora were coming later. They all had agreed that Halloween deserved to be a national holiday that should last at least 3 days.
"Yessss!" exclaimed Tidus. "I finally get my sword back!!" Tidus was jumping around like mad crazy.
"Relax, Tidus." Cloud said, trying to get out of the excited Tidus' way. "The reason it was taken away in the first place is because you keeps hitting people with it. Just don't stab anyone this time." "Aww, ruin all my fun." Tidus stopped hopping around, put on a pouty face, stuck his tongue out at Cloud (who tried not to laugh and instead tried to look hurt) and went and sat in a corner next to yuffie. Selphie just rolled her eyes and turned to Kairi, who was talking to Sora.
"Well?" Selphie asked Kairi.
"Umm, is about 7:30 okay?"
"Sure, it's fine. Just cheer up okay?" Selphie had started to walk away when Kairi got an impulse.
"Kupo?" She said to Selphie.
"Upo, Kupo!" Selphie replied.
"KUPO!" Sora, Kairi and Selphie said together. The three of them laughed for a minute then turned their gazes to the others, who looked as though they had been hit with a confusion bomb. This made them all laugh. Kairi stopped and looked at her friends. She knew they'd be there no matter what obstacle got in the way. She laughed again and it seemed as though everything was getting a little better.
"Hey! Don't forget; 7:30. See you then!" Selphie yelled over her shoulder when the end of lunch bell rang. Kairi nodded in agreement and waved to her departing friends. As she went to collect her things, she spotted Stanton out of the corner of her eye. 'Shoot' she said to herself. 'I invited him and Riku to come to Selphie's with me.' She sighed and went to meet him.
"Look," she began. She was going to say that he didn't have to come, but he started to talk before anything else could come out of her mouth.
"It's still on for tonight, right?" He asked. Kairi stopped and stared, confused.
"You-you still want to come? Even."
"Hey, you need help right? I mean, who knows what kinds of weirdoes might come around and try to rape you girls or something." Stanton said with a slight smirk. Kairi looked down and shrugged. "And don't worry, Riku won't be there." She looked up at his smirk that showed a glimpse of his perfect white teeth. She smiled back at him. His ice blue eyes held a sparkle of something wonderful, and his wild raven black hair, with its red highlights slightly moved in the small breeze.
"Right." She sighed more than said.
"I probably can't stay long though, but I'll come."
"Thanks." she said in a small voice, but it was more audible than the 'right'.
"No doubt. Anyway, I'll see you tonight," He paused and looked straight into Kairi's eyes. " Cutie." He hugged her and walked off towards the hallway, and rounded a corner. Kairi was blushing, and she hoped he didn't see the spreading red across her cheeks and nose. She had always had a thing for him, and now that she and Riku were no longer together, those feelings that lay dormant were now rising again. She had only told Aerith and Yuffie about how she felt. " I dunno, there's something about him that's just totally amazing, it's entrancing." she said to them once, before she and Riku had gone out. She smiled to herself as she walked away and headed to her choir class. Then a thought crossed her blustered mind. 'Maybe,' she thought, 'maybe life won't be so painful, now, knowing that someone else is there waiting for me. I'm over Riku. There are so many possibilities out there for a girl like me.' A little voice somewhere inside her head said, 'Yeah, a possibility like Stanton.'
Around the corner, Stanton saw Kairi walk away. He saw her blush when he hugged her, and knew her thoughts about him, and he laughed. "It's perfect." He said aloud, yet to himself. "I've got her under my spell, and now that I have her, I won't let her go." He closed his eyes, envisioning the things to come. "Riku won't know what hit him." Stanton smiled to himself and quietly slipped off into his drama class.
A/N: AHHHHH! **dunn dunn dunnn!** **mighty powerful voice.** : Is kairi in love with Stanton, even though she and Riku JUST BROKE UP?!? 2. Is Stanton really the bad guy?!? AND are we ever gonna hear from Riku AGAIN??! Find out in the next chapters of , To Die For!!
**Aerith takes back over intercom.** alright, enough already. anyway, I hoped ya all enjoyed this chapter, and as soon as I post it, it's back to the keyboard for me to type chapt. 3!! keep lookin for my stuff and all of your reviews are welcomed and appreciated! **ERH slinks in behind Aerith** Are you gonna tell em about USW now? **Aerith looks at her.** Sure. I hope you guys are willing enough to go to fanfiction.net's sister site, fictionpress.net and check out ERH's and my story that we wrote bored in History one day. It's a little weird, but you'd probably do the same if you were on a caffeine high and in the middle of studying Europe. So, check it out, it's under my pen name there, and I'm pretty sure it's titles the USW's. let me know what u think! (im tabitha and ERH, she's janette) Thankies a ton! luv ya guyz!
