New Beginnings
Disclaimer: heyeheyhey! sooo, it's taken me a while, but this is up finally! *go me! * **does happy dance.** anywhoo, I hope that you'll like this and keep on reading for what I have to write. I might have to put this in parts, that's why it says "PART ONE" up there.

(Dammit, Selphie) hey, if u have any ideas for future chapters, lemme know! Thankies a ton! now here we go! oh and I don't own KH or any of it's characters, but Stanton belongs to me! mawhahaha! **crawls up wall and sits on ceiling. Takes out STANTON doll and pets it.**
"Mom I'm going to be late!" Kairi yelled out her door. She went back to her bed and rushed to get her shoes on. She ripped off the pillowcase from her pillow to use as a candy-bag. Kairi started to run out her door, but stopped to look in the mirror. She sighed as she pulled some fuss off her shorts, and adjusted the bandanna around her auburn hair. She hoped Yuffie would be surprised. Kairi had decided to dress up like Yuffie did-back in her fighting days- for Halloween. She didn't know what inspired her to do so, or why she wanted to, but she thought it would be a nice way to thank her for helping Sora and herself during the Heartless.
Kairi turned her attention back to reality. She pulled up a glove, smiled at her reflection, then ran out of her room. As she walked down the stairs, she saw her black cat, Nix, half asleep. "Bye Nix." she said. "You're lazy, but I love you." She scratched Nix's head then added, "I'm a sucker for cats." to herself. When she got down stairs, she saw the door open and could hear her mom's car running out front. Kairi closed the door and went to the car.
"Ready?" Her mom asked as Kairi hopped in.
"Yep! Lets go!" She said. "I hope Selphie isn't too mad I'm late."
Kairi had arrived just as they were putting up the last tarp over the top of the haunted house.
"Hey!" Yelled Selphie. "You're late, but just in time to pass out candy!" She walked towards Kairi, and paused while looking at her outfit.
"I'm supposed to be Yuffie." Kairi said to her.
"I know, it's just...oh nevermind, you look great. What do you think of mine?" Selphie asked and twirled around. She was wearing a black tank top, with sleeves attached by safety pins. Her skirt was black and long, with a slit down the front, black tights with black boots and silver buckles added to the costume. Her naturally flared hair had been straightened so that it laid flat and blew freely in the wind.
"Very nice." Said Kairi. "So, are you supposed to be a vampire or something??"
"I dunno. I just thought that wearing a lot of black would be a change of scenery, ya know? And besides, it's my-o-so-important job to pop out of dark corners and scare people." Selphie smiled and winked.
"Hmm, well that's true. It is really dark in here, so you'll have a lot of places to hide." Kairi said. She looked around and noticed that everyone had sort of disappeared. She couldn't hear anyone talking or moving around. "Hey, where did everyone..." Before Kairi could finish her sentence, something came at her and tried to push her towards the ground, while two strong hands reached out of the darkness and pulled her feet out from under her. Kairi let out a surprised scream before she hit the ground and lay flat on her back, immobilized by the hands and the thing that had pushed her.
"Argggg!" the thing said, as its weight was being pushed against her chest. Kairi resisted the urge to scream again, but instead put up her hands to what she thought was her attacker's face. It made a sort of gurgling and spitting noise.
"Ugh...Kairi! Get.... stop! Hey...eagh!" It said before it rolled off her. She seemed to recognize the voice, even though it was spitting and coughing.
"Sora?" she asked. Kairi got up; realizing the hands around her ankles had released themselves, and walked in the direction the sounds were coming from.
"Yeah, And you nearly choked me, putting your damn fingers in my mouth!"
"OH!" she said, "I'm so sorry! I couldn't see you at all, I thought you were a heartless or something!" She squinted in the darkness and saw the vague outline of him. He was wearing the outfit he had worn as a disguise in Halloween town with the bat wings. The saw the glimmer of his vampire teeth in the little light provided. "So, if you tackled me, then who grabbed my ankles?" Kairi asked. Suddenly, a dim light flickered on above them and Selphie was standing at the far corner of the hall, smiling innocently.
"That would be me." A voice said from behind Kairi. She turned around to see Cloud emerging out of the darkness. "Sorry. It was Selphie's and Sora's idea really. They said that since you were late, and had no involvement in building, that you should be our first scare." He smiled at her apologetically, but she only shrugged.
"It was kinda like a 'We're Open' thing, ya know?" Selphie said as she walked toward them.
"No problem. I guess I earned it being late." She smiled at the three and saw Aeris, Tidus and Leon emerge from Selphie's house carrying big bowls of candy.
"We're hoping to get a lot of people, so I bought a shit load of candy! I only hope it's enough. If not, I guess we'll just have to go buy more." Selphie said to Kairi, but she was busy looking of Yuffie. Kairi couldn't see her anywhere. Tidus seemed to know what she was doing, because he walked over to her and said,
"She couldn't make it." Kairi stopped and turned to Tidus. "She had to go see her dad again. You know he's not doing too well." He said.
"Oh yeah...I hope he'll be okay." She said back to Tidus. She was a little disappointed that Yuffie wasn't there to see her outfit, but there were things that were more important that needed to be taken care of. Kairi just smiled and went over to Aeris to get a bowl of candy. It was her job to pass out candy, because she was the only one who didn't really look scary, though she had asked Sora to smear his handprint on her arm with fake blood, and then some on her other arm like a big gash. She went and stood by the entrance of the Haunted House to wait for the people to come and wondered when Stanton was going to show.
Selphie was right. People were coming in swarms of up to 10 people a pass. Kairi swore that she saw this one guy dressed up as some kind of demon thing at least three times already. The bowls of candy that they had were gone in just over a half-hour, and Selphie had to bring out the bowls of 'reserves' to hold over until someone went to go to the store to get more.
"Okay, this is it until at least two of you go and get more. I need a lot more because we still have a long night ahead of us. So, who's gonna be my slaves tonight?" Selphie looked around at her friends, one hand on her hip and holding a large candy bowl in the other arm. She looked to Kairi and then to Sora, who knew that they had been chosen to go.
"Alright, I'll go. My legs are getting cramped just standing here anyway. Lets go Sora." Kairi gave her empty bowl to Cloud and got some money from Selphie. She walked towards the exit and to the street before she stopped to notice that Sora wasn't following her. Kairi heard little shouts of "hey" and "I will!" coming from inside, and saw Sora being pushed out of the tent by Tidus. When he caught up with her, she noticed a slight blush on his cheeks. He smiled at her, offered his arm and said, "So, shall we?" Kairi took his arm and they walked off down the street towards the store.
"Hey, you seem to be having a lot of fun tonight, Kairi." Sora said to her as they were walking back to Selphie's from getting 10 bags of mixed candy from the store. Kairi glanced over at him and smiled because it seemed that he really cared about her well being and her happiness. She knew that no matter what happened, Sora would be there for her whenever she needed him and she wished that she could only say the same for Riku. Kairi stopped mid-step because she suddenly remembered about Stanton wanting to come and help. 'I can't believe I forgot about him!' she thought. "Hey Kai, you okay?" Sora asked. Kairi looked up at him.
"Oh, yeah I just thought I saw something on the ground. I wasn't sure if it was a mouse...I hate mice." She lied
"Okay. Well, then I guess you better stick close to me then, huh?" He said taking Kairi's hand. She looked down at their linked fingers and wondered if Sora had any other intentions than just 'keeping her safe.' Kairi looked back up in time to see a shadow move across the street. As she stared at the shadow, she noticed something glimmering around the thing's neck. As it moved again, Kairi saw that it was Stanton and saw his silver necklace-with two katanas criss-crossing through a heart-that he always wore in the streetlight. She smiled at the thought of seeing him and blushed from the excitement. Sora Looked over at Kairi, who was smiling, and thought, 'maybe she likes me...maybe it's a good thing that we were picked to go together.' Kairi looked around trying to find an excuse to be left alone so that she could see Stanton. She stopped suddenly, and Sora's arm got yanked back before he realized that she had stopped. "What's up?" He asked "Oh I umm...I think I left my uh, wallet in the store. I need to go back and see if it's there." Kairi said pretending to search through any pockets, though she knew that her wallet was safely tucked away in her back pocket. Sora looked at her and said, "that's fine, we'll just go back and get it." He smiled at her as he started to walk back. "No, no, it's okay I can go by myself." Kairi said. Sora looked hurt and confused at the same time. "I mean, I'll go, because they probably need the candy really bad right now. We have been taking our time, and the faster the candy gets there, the better. It'll just waste time if we both go anyway. I'll be okay, don't worry." Sora's hurt still remained, as he agreed "Oh, alright. Just be careful, kay? And I have my cell so call if you need anything. Don't be too long." "I won't I promise." Kairi said. Glancing over across the street she saw Stanton who was now facing the other way. She looked back to Sora and handed him her two grocery bags of candy she'd been carrying. After he adjusted the bags into a good carrying position, he looked directly into her eyes and said "Please be careful." Then he leaned down and kissed her cheek before turning and walking down the street. Kairi stood stunned at Sora's gesture, then slowly started to walk back down the street in the opposite direction. When Sora was out of sight, she ran to meet Stanton on the other side of the street. He was wearing all black, a colour fitting for him on Halloween. His jacket was an enormously warm and expensive looking trench coat that went down to the middle of his calf. It looked like it was made of some type of fine felt feeling material. He also had two vertical black lines going over his eyes. "I was wondering when I'd see you." He said as she ran up to hug him. He hugged her back by picking her up and swinging her around. "Well, wonder no more!" She said laughing. "Sora seems like a really nice guy," Stanton said with his arms still around Kairi. "He your new boy friend or something?" He asked. Kairi looked at Stanton and flushed slightly. "Oh, you saw him kiss me?" Stanton nodded. "No, he's not. He's just a really good friend warning me to stay away from the weirdoes." Kairi said looking at him. Stanton frowned as he slid his arms off her and turned around. "Well, now there's a problem." He said. Kairi, confused, walked towards him and put her hands on her back. "What's wrong?" She asked. He turned around so fast that she almost screamed. He picked her up princess style saying. "I AM ONE OF THE WEIRDOS!" Kairi and Stanton couldn't stop laughing. He had trouble standing up because he was laughing so hard, and holding Kairi wasn't helping much. He put her down gently and as soon as they caught their breath, they started walking towards Selphie's house. Kairi didn't really feel like going back to Selphie's right away. She stopped Stanton and stood in front of him, her green eyes staring into his intense blue ones. "I don't want to go back to Selphie's...Okay?" she told him, toughing his arm. "I thought that they needed help..." He began, taking Kairi's hand "Well, they did, but there's enough people to hold them over for now." She smiled at Stanton. "So, what do you propose we do?" He asked her "Well I was thinking we could hang around, ya know? Just be...um...together? Without anyone?" Kairi was nervous about saying that she just wanted to be alone with him. She didn't know how he might react. She wanted to be alone with him so they could talk and whatnot. She wanted to get to know him. But mainly she just wanted him. Stanton smiled at her and took her other hand, saying, "Just what I was thinking." He brought both of her hands up to his lips and kissed both sides of her hands. Kairi giggled at the gesture, but smiled in spite of it. She was happy just to be with him...
