Chap6

It's finally been a month later and the doctor said I could leave now. After we were outside Sora said to me

"Hey Kairi want to finish our walk that got interrupted?"

"Sure." I said. I was certain he could se me blushing as he took my hand and we started to walk. I had decided to tell him how I felt today regardless of how he felt about me. So I stopped and said

"Sora I have something to tell. Sora I..." and that's all I got up to because at that moment he turned me to him and kissed me. I felt the tip of his tongue brush against mine. I was startled and had my eyes open but then I closed them and kissed him back as best I knew how. I suddenly became aware of how close our bodies were. Our stomachs were just barley touching, my hands were around his neck, and his arms were around my waist with his hands lightly caressing the small of my back. I felt a shiver of pleasure rush through my spine. The kiss lasted a good few minutes more. We finally pulled apart but very reluctantly. Then he looked me in the eyes and said

"Kairi, I love you."

"Sora I love you to. I was going to tell you, but then you kissed me."

"I hope that was alright?" He asked.

"Of course it was alright." I replied. Then we just stood there enjoying the feeling of being in each others arms. After a few minutes Sora said

"Kairi, let me ask you a question."

"Alright."

"I heard that there's another tournament being held at the coliseum and I wanted to know if you would fight with us." I was so shocked that I started to rambling.

"I-I don't know, I mean you're better than me and I would just get in your way, and you can't fight when your worrying about me and..." Then he stopped my rambling with a kiss.

"Kairi I already worry about you so it wouldn't be any different."

"Ok I'll go" I said.

"Is that all it takes to get you to agree to things, a kiss?" he asked joking.

"Some things yes." I answered in a coy voice.

"Like what?" He asked with his arms still around my waist.

"You'll find out."

"When?"

"Over time." I answered in a sly voice.

"So in other words you're not going to tell me are you?"

"That's right." So we started walking back towards the hospital where every one else was, when we saw Leon and Rinoa smiling at us.

"Did you have fun making out?" Leon asked.

"You saw?" I said immediately starting to blush.

"Yep, we saw everything." Rinoa answered.

"So what." said Sora. By that time we were already at the hospital.

"You'll see us kiss again." Then he lightly pressed me against the wall and kissed me again. This time I was ready and had my eyes closed, and this time I kissed him back with out being shocked. We heard Leon and Rinoa leave mumbling puppy love. Then I said in his ear so that only he could hear me

"How many times do you intend to kiss me?" I said with a hint of laughter in my voice.

"Does it really matter?" he asked in a teasing voice.

"No" I answered.

"Good glad we got that out of the way." I laughed. "Sora if I didn't love you so much I would probably find you very annoying, but then in the end I guess I would fall in love with you anyway."

"So every thing is settled. I love you, you love, you're my girlfriend, and I'm your boyfriend, and boyfriends and girlfriends kiss, so it doesn't really matter how much I kiss you."

"Yea your right." So we went back to camp and fell asleep. The funny thing was that the boys pretty much kept the girls up with their loud snoring. We were laughing all night but we eventually fell asleep.

In the morning we packed up camp and had breakfast. After breakfast Sora and I went to go and train.

"Ok Sora don't you dare hold back." I said

"Alright I wont" he answered. He did not think things through. You could tell because he depleted his mp by using trinity limit (which by the way he missed). So he had to use physical attacks. We agreed not to use ethers to restore our mp. After he stopped, for a second, I caught him off guard and used stoppaga so I could attack him a lot. I started out with combos ,but then I used ragnoaroke just as the spell ended. He went flying.

"Give up yet?" I asked.

"No" and he struggled to get up.

"Alright if you insist." So I cast on last Firaga and won. "Damn, you've improved greatly."

"I know." I said. But a part of me felt like something was wrong. Like he was lying to me. But I dismissed the thought. He would never lie to me. Or would he?

Anyway after lunch we walked back to the portal where I first came here.

"So" I said to Leon "what will you and Rinoa do?" "We'll probably stay and help the Princesses fight."

"Oh Donald" said Sora "Kairi's coming with us, no buts about it."

"I figured that much." mumbled Donald. So we all stepped through the portal and ended up in Hollow Bastion. So we all said our goodbyes and left.

Since they can warp from place to place the ride only took 2 minutes. When we got there Phil only gave Sora and I a look because we were holding hands.

But he didn't say anything except "here to sign up for the tournament?"

"Yep. And we a new member, my girlfriend Kairi." I blushed when he said 'my girlfriend' because I'm still not used to being called that yet.

he preliminaries were easy. But when we got to the last match of the finals, which consisted of bosses we've fought before, we had a surprise. When the fighter stepped out we all gasped.
