Chapter 5: Arrival
By: Cobalt-eyedAngel
..Kairi POV..
I am so happy! Riku is so sweet to me, but Sora is distant to me for some redon. Riku was right, all he cares about are his new friends. It really makes me sad, but sometimes he acts like his old self. We laugh and hang out just like we used to. Riku told me that Sora was gone longer because he was out partying with his new friends. And for some reason that makes me really sad. I know I must sound selfish because I don't want him to have fun without me, but I just can't help it!
And that new girl, Rikku, hanging all over him. Ugh! She makes me so mad! I can't believe Sora volunteered my place. But I couldn't say "no" right to her face. I'm having this weird feeling, like...for some reason I want to hurt Rikku. But I can't be...jealous! Can I? I sometimes wish things were back to the way they were before the Heartless came. It was...better.
I sighed. I was sitting on the palm tree beside Riku. The sun was setting over Destiny Island and my auburn was blowing carelessly in the wind. Of course, Sora's spot was empty.
"What's wrong?" Riku asked looking up at me.
I smiled down at him. "It was just al long day." I muttered looking at the sunset. I wasn't exactly lying; it had been a long day. I was so bored during school. Riku had fallen asleep, and I didn't know anyone around me! I wish Sora had sat by me. He was laughing and talking with everyone else. Even Tidus and Wakka.
"Hey!" I said realizing something.
"What?" Riku asked.
"You said Sora doesn't talk to us because he talks to his new friends," I said looking at him.
"Yeah and..." Riku wanted more of an explanation.
"Well how come Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie were talking to Sora and he talking to them?" I asked confused.
Riku turned his head back to the sunset and his jaw was set. He didn't answer my question.
Was he lying to me? Why didn't he answer my question? I liked it when...Riku and I...were just friends. I s that why I feel this way? Riku?
"Riku, I...I think we need to...pause." I said looking at him intently, awaiting his answer.
"Pause? What, exactly do you want to pause?" Riku said angrily.
"We need to pause...us" I said slowly.
He grew angrier. "You want to break up?" He almost shouted.
"I-no..." I bit my lower lip, "Not yet. Not now."
"Pause? You mean we are going to fast?" Riku tried to pry more information out of me.
"Um..." My lower lip began to bleed, but I quickly covered it with my upper lip. "Sort of, can we just like...stop for a couple of weeks?"
"O...Kay, if that's what you want." His jaw was still clenched.
"Thanks," I said jumping off the palm tree where I was sitting. He tried to smile but didn't get very far. All of a sudden I got a weird urge to see Sora's beautiful smile. Where did that come from? I shook my head as to clear my mind.
"I got to go, see ya later!" I waved and he waved back, then I headed off.
A little ways ahead, after I lost sight of Riku, Sora was sleeping. I smiled and tried to tip-toe across the beach, I thought I was dead silent.
"I know you're there Kairi," Sora said his eyes still closed, but now a smile was on his lips.
"How did you know it was me?" I asked walking over to him.
"Just can tell," He answered simply.
"Lazy bum, you're always sleeping." I laughed sitting beside him. "Who said I was sleeping?" He asked, opening is cobalt blue eyes, and then got up into a sitting position.
"Oh?" I said with a raised eyebrow teasingly, "then what were you doing?"
"Thinking." He said with a secret smile.
"Then how come you didn't join Riku and me?" I asked curious.
His smiled disappeared and he looked at me for a long time. He glanced at my lips and brought his gloved hand to my cheek, so his thumb was resting below my lips.
Oh my god! Is he going to...kiss me?! Oh my god, Oh my god!
He leaned in, his mouth close. Oh my god! Oh my god!
"Kairi your lip is bleeding," he said still looking at my lips. Oh my- wow! I just freaked over nothing. Why would Sora want to kiss me anyways? More importantly, why do I feel disappointed? I blushed and it hit him how close we really were and that his hand was on my cheek.
His hand shot back to his chest while he was tinted with bright red cheeks and he set his gaze downward.
"I, uh...err, sorry." He said still not looking at me.
I laughed. I couldn't help myself; he looked so cute when he was embarrassed!
My laughter was cut short after a bright light shown ahead of us. Oh man! Not another person! (A/N-YAY! Someone else!)
This time, instead of landing in Sora's lap, the person landed in the water. We heard a shallow splash.
"Um, hello?" I called looking at a girl in a long belted black dress. She looked up at me and glanced at Sora.
"Hi." Was all the lady said. She appeared to be 28, around Wakka's age. (A/N- Sorry for interrupting again, I just have to say, I know I'm not using their correct ages, at least I don't think I am, so don't flame because of their age.)
"My name is Kairi, and that's Sora," I waved a hand at him and he seemed to be evaluating her, as if she was a threat, it was quite a sight. (He's checking her stats. Magic, strength, power, etc.) She nodded at us and glanced over Destiny Island.
"Are you a friend of Yuna or Rikku? Or someone else?" I asked her.
"Yes, is Yuna alright?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'll show you where she is," I said standing up. Sora stood up also and smiled friendly at her. (She passed the good scale! LOL. Srry...)
It didn't take long till we heard Yuna's voice.
"Lulu!" Yuna yelled, running towards us. She rushed over and gave Lulu, the girl, a tight hug. "Did you just get here?"
"Mm hmm" she answered nodding.
"Oh no," Yuna was thinking hard, "Where are you going to sleep? Sora's house is a one-person house and Riku has an empty room, but so much junk. You don't want to stay there."
"You can stay at my place." Sora said out of the blue. "I mean, I'll move out and you can move in. I wanted a new place anyways," He continued, "Yeah! Besides I barely sleep there. I always snuck out and I have a temporary spot of my own that has every thing I need. You take my house, I can move out quick, I haven't much stuff." Sora didn't wait for an answer and started heading towards his house.
"A-are you sure? Positive?" Yuna asked surprised.
"No problem!" He brushed it off as if he gave away his home everyday.
"Alright Lulu, come on to his house, uh. YOUR house." Yuna said and started following Sora. She nodded and followed Yuna.
