Chapter Sixxxx: A Chilling Pain

::Sora's POV::

Man, yesterday was great, but Riku confused me a bit. Yea, but when isn't he?

We were shoving gum into the water fountains. And on the sides. So the stupid freshmen get their hands stuck to it. Anyway, we saw Kairi walking down the hall.

Feh. Who needs her.

Still, Riku pointed her out. As if I really care anymore. I'd rather go play the fiddle for a buffalo. Yeah, and Jessica Simpson.

He said "Dude, there's Kairi... something happened to her yesterday... but I can't remember what."

Haha. So like Riku. His head's made of cotton candy. Hmm... I should see if it tastes like cotton candy one day.

Nah, I'll leave that to the girls. ::shudder::

Well, gotta go. Cloud's got big plans on mailing PrinciPAL's underwear to his cousin... see ya.

Well, it turns out that the principal found out about the underwear incident.

But Sora still never found out about Kairi. Well, not until that afternoon, that is.

Sora and Riku were skipping through the hallways shoving their armpits in people's faces on the way to lunch. Cloud was laughing at the disturbed expressions of their fellow peers. Sora was just saying "Take a big whiff!" to Wakka when Riku stopped dead in his tracks. Cloud followed suit.

"Hey guys, what's... WHAT THE--" (A/N: This word has been cut off, since all your mommies and daddies would not want you to read such VULAGR LANGUAGE! ::evil cackle::)

Yes, what the-- definitely described what the trio had seen.

Before their very eyes was Kairi. At least, they thought it was Kairi.

She was dressed from top to bottom in pitch black. From the knit snow hat on her head to the laced combat boots on her feet, you could've sworn she was the grim reaper. Her skin was a pale icy blue, and she seemed to shiver as she stood in the middle of the cafeteria, looking for someone desperately. Her eyes were black and blue and suken in, as if she hadn't gotten sleep in days. Her usual shimmering blue eyes had frosted over with a thin sheet of grey, hiding the real Kairi from the world, like an untold secret. The sight of her sent chills up Sora's spine.

"Whoa, did she fall in a tar pit or somethin'?" Riku asked rudely. Cloud elbowed him and grunted something like 'look'.

A black figure was moving across the floor. The black mass slid carefully underneath the student's feet, as if bonded to the tiled ground. Slowly, the figure began to grow and materialize into none other than Shadow. He slid a chilly arm around Kairi's waist, and whispered something into her ear. Riku's mouth fell open as Kairi's skin faded an into an even lighter color, while slowly frost began to tease the tips of her fingers.

Sora stared. And suddenly, it hit him. Hit him harder than running head first into a wall. Harder than falling off a roof. Harder than anything he'd ever felt in his life. It was as if five million cold hands were smacking him harshly in the head. He couldn't see a thing, his eyes were swallowed in the darkness from the inside of his eyelids, which he was squinting shut from the pain of his head. He was being sucked into something he'd never realized he had in him, something he ignored from the beginning, the something that had grown each and every day that until now, he'd noticed, was what he was feeling all along...

He loved Kairi. And he didn't want her to be hurt like this.

Sora stumbled backwards from the impact of such a strong emotion. He was shocked at how much pain he felt...

Kairi's pain.

And then he screamed. Not only because of his head. But heck! SHADOW WAS FLIRTING WITH HER!

He ran straight at Shadow so fast and hard, sending him flying across the room. "GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS OFF HER!" He yelled angrily. He was breathing heavy and was extremely dizzy... but he felt as if this was the only way to react.

Shadow melted into the floor again, quickly darting around the room with so much agilty that Sora lost track of him. Shadow re-materialized behind Sora, and without giving him time to move around, struck him sharply in the back of the head, sending him skidding across the cafeteria floor. By this time, everyone was watching them.

Sora shouted cursed words at Shadow, causing them to bounce off the walls and echo in every direction. Sora stormed toward him, clenching his fists so much that his nails here digging into his palms and the skin was breaking.

Shadow simply grinned and held out a hand. Sora immediately stopped and clasped a hand over his heart. He sunk to his knees and onto the floor, gasping for breath. A pain in his chest so great began to spread throughout his body. What was going on?

"You will leave her with me. The process is almost complete. We can not have anymore inconveniences." It was the first time Sora had heard Shadow speak, and he didn't like it. Every word was icy cool and send jagged shivers up Sora's spine, grasping around his throat and freezing his breath. Before he knew it, blackness grasped itself around him for the second time that afternoon, and he was out cold in the middle of the cafeteria floor. The last thing he heard was the anxious whispers of his fellow students, and the whoosh of someone taking off.

Sora was falling endlessly it seemed. He didn't know where he was going, but the gentle breeze against his warm forehead felt nice. He drifted softly to a landing, where a short cloaked figure spoke slowly and menacingly. "It is time." It said. Sora experienced the same chilly sensation again. Suddenly the figure called to him.

"Sora..." It rasped in it's cold, cruel voice. "Sora..."

But it started to change. Into a soft and quite familiar voice. Sora soon realized someone was shaking him.

"Sora, get up, you okay?"

Riku was leaning over Sora, his face full of concern. "Yeah... yeah, I'm alright." Sora said, clutching the back of his head. "Where's Kairi?!"

"That Shadow guy took of with her about a half an hour ago." Cloud shook his head.

"We gotta find her!" Sora squeaked. He wasn't giving up that easy, not when he knew what Kairi was feeling like.

"Dude, she's long gone, just like my toast this morning. I ate it, and it's gone man, in the toilet..." Riku blabbed on and on about his toast.

"I don't care." Sora said flatly, cutting him short. "It's worth a shot. I felt everything she was feeling okay? Everything. And she's in pain. We gotta help her!"

Cloud laughed. "So adventurous, little bit."

"Oh, well, there's no use in it. She's already lost her virginity to him anyway, could anything else be more painful?" Riku laughed.

"WHAT?!?!?!?! OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO NASTY I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER RIKU I'LL KEEL YOU!!!" Sora screamed.

"Just kidding, sheesh!"

"I'M not kidding." Sora scowled, going red.. "I'm going, and you two cowards can stay here and sing about daises if you want, but I'M going. And YOU TWO AREN'T STOPPING ME."

Cloud said nothing. Riku smirked. "Hey man, I don't sing about daisies, only Yankee Doodle. Yeah, I'll come." Cloud nodded in agreement.

"Great." Sora smiled. "Let's go."

A/N: Sooo? Do you like it? I tried to chuck the funniness in there while still keeping it angsty/suspenseful. I worked really hard on the descriptions doing a LOT of editing. BAGGSIES WANTS R&R ;-; XD I can't believe I haven't done it until now... tsk tsk tsk (This chapter was 5 pages long on Word. XD)
