Disclaimer: Whoot! I can spell disclaimer now! Merry Christmas everybody!
Thank you everyone who reviewed, especially Sora-4eva (or is it Taryn?)
for the idea of bringing Squall and Yuffie back into the story. I hadn't thought of doing that! And don't worry, much fluff yet to come.
And Ms. B. , if you are reading this, please please please don't tell my parents about my stories! * Begs on knees You're the best English teacher in the world *eyes are shining. And if my dad starts monitoring my stories I won't be able to include my own emotions anymore, he will send me to counseling!! Wah! I don't wanna go! (It's a long sad story dating back to last summer when my dad got remarried)
I am putting a new character in here, can't remember what they're called, but she's Sora's cousin. Well, I guess I created all of Sora's relatives, but Kotori is a character from a manga I wrote a long time ago, only she is younger now. And not into dating dead people.
Okay! Are we allowed to include web links to other sites in here?
I'm beginning to rant, I will continue the story now. Please keep reviewing! I love my reviewers. Those pesky snowmen are still at it across the street…

Sora and Kairi walked hand in hand down the snowy street. They waved happily to Squall and Yuffie who were walking down the opposite side of the street. Yuffie made a phone with her hand and held it up to her ear, winking. Kairi nodded and clicked her cell phone on. They continued towards Sora's house, multiple cars already visible in the driveway. Sora paused, "Crap! The whole freakin' family's here!" He complained. Kairi giggled at him and pulled him forward. Wakka and Tidus came running up the road, apparently trying to get away from Selphie, who was holding mistletoe and calling after Tidus. "Come on guys! What's the hurry? It's too early to play blitzball!" She yelled. "Merry Christmas, ya?" Wakka began, cut off as Tidus grabbed him and ran around the corner. Sora waved happily as Selphie took a time out to say hello to Kairi. "Merry Christmas! How are you two today?" She asked slyly. "Pretty good, just heading off to Sora's house for Christmas morning." Kairi replied, tightening her grip on Sora's hand so make sure Selphie had noticed. "Well, bye now, I only have a little while to catch Tidus before I have to leave for my grandparents' house." She waved briskly and gave Kairi a thumbs up behind Sora's back.
"Come on, Sora! You're mom's gonna freak!" Kairi pulled with all her strength trying to get Sora to go inside his house. "I don't wanna go in there! Have you met my family?" He whined. Kairi sighed, looking down at the snow and suddenly getting an idea. She leaned up against him and played with his still fluffy hair. Kissing him sweetly on the cheek, she looked deeply into his eyes, "Please?" She asked quietly. He stared at her as she pulled him easily up to the door, knocking gently and smiling as his mother opened the door. "Merry Christmas!" Kairi chirped happily. "Kairi!" She cried cheerfully as she pulled her into a tight hug. "What took you so long?" She asked, suspiciously. "Sora didn't want to come, he was trying to stall." Kairi accused, pointing over her shoulder at him. He smiled weakly at him mother and took Kairi's hand as she pulled him inside.
Upon seeing them snuggled up together, Sora's mother sighed with happiness. Finally, that reject child of mine has a girl! Maybe he won't be so rebellious now.. she thought to herself. Sora's relatives were crowding the house, leaning against the walls and the children sat on the floor next to the Christmas tree. Sora was surprised by how eagerly Kairi was accepted into the family, everyone seemed to love her instantly. She helped the younger children pass the remaining presents around and helped them set up their new toys so they could play with them. She would walk around the room, helping Sora's mom pass around drinks and snacks, and she would hold conversations with various adults. A hand latched firmly onto Sora's shoulder, he looked up, startled to see his father's face scowling down at him. "When did you get home last night?" He asked, his voice dangerously low. "I, uhh…" Sora began, cut off when his mother bustled over. "Honey, it's fine!" She cried. "That's right, sir, Sora stayed the night at my house last night. He asked your wife and she said it would be fine. It was all just a miscommunication." Came Riku's strong voice from behind Sora's father, causing him to jump slightly. A talent Riku was proud of. He was the only other male in the whole of Destiny Islands that was willing too, and capable of butting heads with Sora's father. He smiled down at the balding, muscular man honestly. Though the older man would never admit it, he had a deep respect for Riku, he wasn't like the other teenagers around the Islands. There was something else there, a kind of maturity that even some adults did not have. He smiled coldly back, "Fine, but the next time Sora goes missing, I'll have your head." He hissed as he stalked off to devour the turkey before anyone else got a chance.
Sora's mother sighed, "Thanks, Riku. I thought he was going to skin Sora! Though, we were very worried when you didn't even call last night, young man!" She said sternly as she made her way back to the kitchen. "Uh, thanks, Riku. But, you could have just let him harass me." He said guiltily. Riku laughed, "Come on Sora, that's not what friends do." He turned to help Kairi with the children that were mobbing her, demanding to be read to. "Riku?" Sora called. "Yeah?" He replied, picking up a little boy that was chasing his sister around with his new toy sword. "What are you doing spending Christmas at my house?" He asked suspiciously. "She invited me when we met outside on the street." Riku grinned as he pointed to Sora's cousin, Kotori, who was currently getting to know Kairi as they both struggled with the mass of complaining children.
She was one of Sora's favorite cousins, he had to admit. They were about the same height, but she had slightly darker hair brown hair. It came to the middle of her back, and she had tied it back in a loose ponytail low on her back, letting loose strands fall around her shoulders. She wore a tight red turtleneck and white pants, she was very pretty and Sora was surprised that Riku had not met her before. "Are you two..?" Sora started, Riku cut him off with a desperate look. "Maybe, can we talk about this later?" He whispered to Sora. He smiled at his best friend and got up to help him assist the girls, now being all but carried off toward the playroom by the many children. They pulled the girls inside, laughing as they tried to slam the door on Riku and Sora, who pushed their way inside. The children promptly tackled them and they all fell in a giggling mass on the floor, staring up at Kairi and Kotori's disapproving glares. Half an hour later, the children were curled up in the teenagers' laps, listening intently to the storybook that was being passed between Kairi and Kotori. A small girl sat sleeping in Sora's arms, and he didn't understand why Kairi kept giggling at him.
Soon, a movie was set up and the children were left alone as the teenagers snuck outside and made their way to the mall. Taking the children as an example, the teens soon bought tickets and went into the theater to see a movie that had recently been released. Something about a ring and an evil wizard. Sora wasn't very attentive toward movies. The two couples were alone in the theater, so they sat on either side to give each other a little privacy. Kairi snuggled into Sora's shoulder as they tried to watch the movie. Sora ran his fingers through her hair and played with her silver earrings. They were little stars and when Sora saw them, he remembered her Christmas present. "Kairi," He said gently as he reached into his pocket, pulling out a small, messily wrapped package. "Merry Christmas." He said as he handed it to her. Surprised, she sat up and carefully opened it, pulling out a beautiful sterling silver charm bracelet. It had golden paopus on it and tiny silver bells that jingled softly when she moved it. She gasped silently, "It's beautiful, Sora. Thank you." She said softly, looking up into his piercing blue eyes. She put it on a kissed him gently on the lips, allowing it to linger a bit before a battle scene pulled their attention to the screen. Sora glanced over at Riku and Kotori and laughed quietly, "Riku works fast." He exclaimed in Kairi's ear as she glanced over to see the two of them making out.
The two of them tried snuggling together for a while, but the chairs weren't very comfortable, so Kairi crawled into Sora's lap and he slowly traced her spine with his hand. She kissed him gently and played with his spiky hair. The kiss held out longer this time, and Kairi wrapped her hands around Sora's neck and put more passion into the kiss. He held her protectively in his arms and ignored everything around him but her, taking in everything. He loved the way she tasted and he was confused when she pulled away for a moment. "I'll be right back, bathroom break. Do you want anything while I'm up?" She asked as she stood and smiled at him. He shook his head and watched as she walked out of the theater door, pausing to wave briefly at him on her way out.
Kairi walked briskly out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed as she made her way back down the silent, empty corridor. She looked around, surprised that there weren't even any custodians in the large, dark hall. She quickened her pace as she walked back to the theater. After a few minutes, Kotori also stood up, "I have to go too, be back in a moment." She said to Riku as she leaned down to kiss him again. As she walked slowly out of the theater, she opened the first door and paused to tie her shoes. Stupid laces, she thought bitterly, making a mental note to buy new ones later. She opened the last door silently, not wanting to bring attention to her presence. She peeked out in the still hall, noticing only too late that two large teenage boys were dragging Kairi out of the emergency exit, one held a gun up under her chin and they were cussing at her, telling her to stop struggling or they'd shoot her. They disappeared out the door and Kotori clamped a hand over her mouth as she turned horrified back into the theater.
"Riku! Sora!! Kairi's been kidnapped!! Oh, god! Help her!!" She shrieked as she ran back into the theater. The two boys jumped up, Sora producing his Oblivion key blade and Riku pulling out his dark key blade equipped with the Metal Chocobo key chain. Together, they ran out the theater doors and slammed through the emergency exit into the snowstorm outside.
