Chapter 3: You've Changed...
---------------------------------------
As Riku's hut came into view, he ran forward, checking to see if it was still how it was the last time he saw it.
"Come on guys, let's go look at your rooms!" He shouted back towards Sora and Kairi, who were still kicking up sand and laughing. They walked up the stairs that led to the only bedrooms in the hut. Everything was made of sturdy beach wood, or remnants of old treasure ships that floated up to shore.
As they turned around a corner into a spacious room with two small beds made up of silk leaves, Riku gladly announced, "Here's your room Kairi."
Giving him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, Kairi thanked Riku and he turned redder than a strawberry. "Thanks Riku!"
Sora and Riku left Kairi to do her bidding and Riku brought Sora to his room. Riku left downstairs to see if everything else in his hut was intact, and Sora slipped into Kairi's room.
"Sora! I'm changing! What are you doi-" Sora pushed her up against the wall and starting kissing her.
"Sora, stop. We should take this somewhere a little more... comfortable, perhaps?"
He nodded and gave another dopey wink. As Sora and Kairi kissed, he passed over to the door and turned the knob; the door shut quitely with a click. Sora backed up against the wall towards Kairi's knee-high bed on the floor, but tripped, and she landed on top of him, giggling. From there they madeout, all of their feelings that had been locked in there forever pouring out.
"Wow Sora, you have really changed." Kairi whispered, their noses touching.
"You've changed, too, Kairi." They both knew that they weren't changing though, they were growing up.
"You want to sleep in my room tonight, Sora?"
"Sure Kai..."
"Sora...?"
"Yeah, Kai?"
"Never leave me again..."
"I won't Kai, I won't." And there Kairi fell sleep, locked away in Sora's arms, feeling forever protected, and forever loved. A feeling that would never end.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rise and shine, you two!" Riku bellowed into the open doorway, shaking the the stick mattress.
Sora groaned and rolled over on his side, "Huh?" ... what?" He sighed, obviously irritated from lack of sleep. Sora put his finger to his lips and whispered, "Can you keep it quiet? Kairi's still sleeping." as Kairi cuddled against Sora's chest, he said even softer, "What are you doing here anyway?"
"Hmm... let's see..." he said through clenched teeth; being as quiet as he could, "Trying to get you up because it's 10:00! Now wake up, we're going to the beach!"
"OK, OK! I'm up!" Sora said in exasperation, as he slip from under Kairi. So as Sora through on a t-shirt and some swimming trunks, Riku ran out onto the sun-drenched sand. In those 5 minutes, Sora woke Kairi up and urged her to come on the beach with him and Riku. "C'mon, it'll be fun!" He pleaded.
"Fine, I'll come," she sighed, giving in. "But only if you don't make fun of me in my bikini."
"You got it!" Sora grinned, and flew out of the room, leaving her to do her business.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 minutes later...
"Kairi! How long does it take to get one of those things on?!"
"Hey! Do you know what a girl has to go through to get a string bikini on?" She shook her head and said to herself, "Boys..."
"Kairi, are you comi-"
Sora didn't have time to finish his sentence, because out came Kairi in a bikini that was the color of her eyes, and studded with only the rarest type of stone. He was speechless.
"AHEM" He managed, choking on his words, "Kai... you look... beautiful!"
"Thanks Sora." She said, pushing him out of her way clumsily, and somewhat embarassed. "We should get going."
Sora caught his words, paused, and nodded, "Right." and he followed her out of the hut, making sure to be behind her as the bikini wasn't the only thing that dazzled him ;).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They spent the day at the beach, and Kairi of course tried getting a tan - but was unsuccessful.
"That wasn't funny guys." Kairi shouted at Riku and Sora. They had lifted her up and threw her in the water right as the sun had started to shine.
"You should have seen the look on your face, Kairi!" Riku choked, as a huge wave of laughter overtook him and he fell on the ground in a heap; Sora next to him.
Kairi shivered, "Brrr, it's getting cold out. Maybe we should start heading back."
Sora chuckled, and lifted Kairi into his arms, "Yeah, maybe we should."
"HEY! Put me down!" Kairi shrieked, kicking sand here and there.
"Never." Sora whispered into her ear, and carried her the rest of the way back to Riku's hut.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sora, where are you going?" Kairi asked Sora when he got up off the stick couch and headed for his room.
And between a big yawn, he said, "I'm kinda tired."
Kairi smiled at Sora, and Riku waved him away, "Yeah, see ya tomorrow."
Riku looked over at Kairi, and when Sora was out of earshot he leaned toward her. "Hey Kairi, can I ask you something?"
"Sure Riku, anything."
He leaned closer and lightly kissed her on the lips. "Kairi, I've always loved you, but I know you love Sora. So I know you understand that we're just friends."
"Of course..." mumbled Kairi.
"I was also wondering if I could spend one night with you," Riku persisted, and when Kairi gave him a weird look he changed his words, "I mean, just one night. Nothing big."
Kairi nodded reassuringly and smiled. "No problem Riku!"
"Meet me in the cabin at the other side of the beach."
"Okay then. See you in like... 5 minutes?"
Riku nodded and left the hut. 'Wow... Riku has never been that open,' Kairi thought, 'Maybe I should tell Sora I'm going to be with Riku tonight. No... I can't.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Kairi just decided to tell him a different story, and she opened the door a crack and whispered to him, "Sora, I'm going to err... a new friend's for the night, and so is Riku. Is that all right?"
"Sure Kai, whatever..." Sora mumbled, in and out of sleep. "I'll watch over the house and make sure alienated monkeys don't take over the world. See you in the morning, love."
Kairi tried not to crack up, but Sora was so funny when he was tired and didn't know what he was talking about. That was the first time she had ever lied to Sora and she hoped it would be the last.
