:: Flashback ::

Leon leaned against his locker, eyes closed in a half-daze, tired. He didn't want to chase Sora; he was keeping under watch for Kairi. He sighed and opened his eyes, looking around for her auburn hair and those piercingly beautiful, soft, blue-green eyes…
He knew he was over his usual liking for a girl, he knew, but he loved her, he couldn't help it, and when she broke up with Sora, it was his chance.

He smirked as the girl of his dreams walked by and he gently tapped her shoulder, and she turned around, looking at him. "Oh, hello." She smiled sweetly. "You're…?"
"Leon." He smiled and retreated a step from his locker, bringing her hand to his lips and kissing it, and she giggled slightly.
"You're quite the gentleman…"
"For such a beautiful lady such as yourself, I'd think you'd expect no different."
She sighed and blushed a bit. "I've never been treated like that…"

Leon frowned. "Oh?" He was smirking inside now, thinking 'Yes! I can do something better than Sora in winning her heart!'.

"Yea… I was kinda, well… never mind…"
"You sure? I don't mind listening."
"Well, I was kinda neglected by my boyfriend a lot…"
"Oh, I'm sorry… Hey, you never told me your name!"
"Kairi. Kairi Mayor." She held out her hand, and Leon kissed it once more.

"It's my pleasure, Ms. Mayor."
Kairi giggled. "Stop it, you're too sweet."
He gave a half-hearted smile. "I try…"
She giggled again. "Well, I'll be off…"
"Hey Kairi?"
"Eh?"
"Would you, err, consider being a part of my gang?"
"Eh?"

"Well, I heard your boyfriend, Sora, neglected you because of his gang. Well, if you want, you could be part of my gang…"
Kairi blinked, and then she thought about it.

'Well, he's kinda cute and really kind…'
'Why not?'
"Why not?" She smiled, and he smiled back.
"Great. Meet you tomorrow at 8, free period, by the fountain."
"Can't wait." She smiled warmly, and walked off.

Well, this would be interesting.

:: Kairi's POV ::

I was walking along, when I felt a tap on my shoulder and I spun around, and I was instantly lost in this soft, blue-brown abyss that were a boy's eyes, and they were so beautiful I felt so safe, and I was going to get lost in them forever, until my mind fought against it otherwise.
"Oh, hello." I said, and dang, I have to stop doing that. "You're…?" I was curious, I couldn't help it. How could someone have such god dang beautiful eyes?!

He smiled, god, I hate that, it was cute too and damn; what was he doing? Before I knew it he had taken my hand and softly brushed his lips over the top of it, sending sparks throughout my hand as he smirked, replying to my question. "Leon." Hmm, nice name… Leon…

I giggled, and I never giggle, I don't giggle, but for him, I thought, it was an exception. "You're quite the gentleman…" I inwardly smirked, dang; this would be considered FLIRTING, Kairi, but no! I went ahead and did it anyways.

"For such a beautiful lady such as yourself, I'd think you'd expect no different." God, I love sweet talkers… I blushed and silently ached to admit it, so I did.
"I've never been treated like that…" I squeaked out, but he just frowned, which was cute as well, and he looked slightly hurt.

"Oh?"
"Yea… I was kinda, well… never mind…" I admitted quietly, not wanting to tell him, but he was so sweet…

"You sure? I don't mind listening." Most guys don't listen! Dear lord, help me down here…

"Well, I was kinda neglected by my boyfriend a lot…" I admitted quietly, but those abysses, oh, err, eyes were boring into mine, and I really trusted him right about now… God dang it, his eyes are going to be the death of me!

"Oh, I'm sorry…" He frowned sincerely. "Hey, you never told me your name!"
I didn't? Crap.

"Kairi. Kairi Mayor." I smiled as he brought my hand up to his lips again, and he spoke, his mouth tickling my hand gently, but not fully.

"It's my pleasure, Ms. Mayor." He kissed my hand again, and god, I was going to die.

I giggled again, I have to stop doing that, and I smiled. "Stop it, you're too sweet." And it was true.
He smiled in a cute manner, and he spoke. "I try…"

"Well, I'll be off…" I said, though I regretted it, and I turned around, missing those brown eyes…
"Hey Kairi?" He spoke, and I turned around.
"Eh?"

"Would you, err…" He stuttered out. "…consider being a part of my gang?"

"Eh?" I asked again.
"Well, I heard your boyfriend, Sora, neglected you because of his gang. Well, if you want, you could be part of my gang…"
I considered it, and then smiled warmly.
"Why not?"
"Great. Meet you tomorrow at 8, free period, by the fountain." He smiled at me, and I smiled back, even warmer than before.
"Can't wait."
And I couldn't.

The next morning, by the fountain at 8, during free period, Kairi was sitting on the rim of the fountain, swinging her feet and humming, waiting for Leon to arrive. Beginning to grow impatient, she frowned, and slipped off her sandals and put them on the ground, turning around and dipping her feet in the cool spring water. Only seniors had access to the fountain. It was cool.

Kairi was too busy occupying herself staring into her reflection in the water she didn't notice Leon sneak up on her and kiss her shoulder, and when he did she shot a mile high, surprised and very, very flustered.
"Leon!" She protested, giggling, and putting her shoes on her damp feet. "You scared me."
"Well, I told you I'd meet you here. You weren't ready." He smirked.

"I was so!" She protested, frowning. "YOU were la-"
He silenced her by putting a finger over her lips. "Yes, I was a little late. But now, can we get on to the orientation?"
"Right." Kairi nodded. "So what do I need to know?"
"First, you have to learn to defend yourself. The gang won't always be there beside you if you get into a fight, so you have to learn fast, and now, to defend yourself."
"Alright. But I'm not that strong."
Leon gave out a laugh, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"That's what I'm here for. I'll show you the ropes."
--

After about a few hours, (Before free period (at around 7:00), they have Language and a bit of Math, then free period is about 3 hours in the morning, until lunch time(which is an hour), then they have the rest of Math, Science, and the like, then study hall or P.E.. They get out at around 3:45 to 4 o clock.) Kairi had finally mastered defending herself minorly, and Leon promised to show her more tomorrow, but for the next hour or so, they worked on her image. Leon had a car, unlike Kairi, whose family was having financial troubles until her dad got a decent job, so they went out and looked for stuff. Kairi got some cool clothes, like a black leather jacket and brown, leather thief gloves, curtsey of Leon and some of her allowance.

After that, they had lunch, where seniors get the privilege, if they have cars; they are able to go out to eat if they have the money. (A/N: When I get to high school, we're allowed to do that once we're seniors. So we get Krystals or Burger King or even some Pizza if we have the time.) Leon invited Kairi to lunch, so, of course, she accepted. This was her time to get to meet his gang, he said, so they would all eat at the 50s restaruant down the street, where they usually hung out.

--

The sign above the small café read 'Stratons' (A/N: DEAR LORD THAT PLACE IS AWESOME. O-O I LOVE that place. Where I live, that's the coolest 50s café you could EVER eat at. Jukebox, a real fountain, and the best ice cream…), and it was in fancy cursive, 50s-like writing. The 'S' in Stratons flickered a bit, but otherwise it was cool. The 50s curtains hung off the roof, the ones that bounce up and aren't really curtains, and usually have stripes on them.

Leon held the door, and Kairi entered to a place with a bar, a Jukebox, and booths and tables everywhere. Those little things were hanging over the booths that you could access the jukebox with and you could browse the songs, and choose one or 2 if you had a dime, 5 if you had a quarter.

A girl with cropped black hair waved to Leon and called out his name. She was dressed in a purple scarf and other stuff, like a black leather jacket, much like Kairi's, black and purple thief gloves, and her black pants were belted with rhinestones at the bottom and a purple, silk-like ribbon belt. Her belly shirt was a deep purple.

"Leon!" She called out, smiling and waving. Another guy was with her, and it struck Kairi hard, like he was familiar… The girl shook it off.
Leon walked over, Kairi close behind. "Hey Yuffie." He smiled. Kairi felt a pang of jealousy as Leon scooted in beside her, then a jolt of happiness as he motion for Kairi to sit beside him as well. Yuffie sent her a glare.

"Guys, this is Kairi. She's new here." Kairi smiled and the guy, obviously a Latino, smiled back as well. He had eyes much like Leon, and brown hair.
"I'm Blade." He held out his hand, and Kairi shook it.
"Yuffie." The girl in black almost scowled, and she shook Kairi's hand as well.

"Well, let's eat. We can get to know each other better over some food." Kairi smiled, and Blade and Leon nodded. Yuffie sent her another glare.

:: Yuffie's POV ::

DANG!

How DARE that TRAMP come in and steal MY Leon! I saw how he looked at her!
UGGH!
I will have my revenge…
Grr…

--

After lunch and getting 'acquainted' with the gang, they all headed back to school with brain freezes from the wind and the huge sundaes they had all gotten.

After school was over, however, Kairi had to go shopping for more stuff, so, walking home and counting her money, realizing she had more than she thought she did, she went out shopping and bought her some new clothes to associate with her new 'gang life.'

--

The next day, Kairi was walking from Science to study hall when she heard something that struck suspicion into her…

--

:: Kairi's POV ::

I was walking along, minding my own business and ignoring the glances I was getting and the whispers that said, "Hey, is that Kairi?" and fiddling with my black leather thief gloves, you know, the ones that came down to your knuckles and exposed your fists? Yea, those were cool, 'cause it said you were tough, and I heard something, and it sounded like Riku, like he was the last person I wanted to hear, because I had been turned against them, those people, and I didn't like them or anyone who associated with them.

"AND. EAT. A. TOOTSIE. POP!" He yelled frantically, dragging Cloud off with him, and leaving behind, wait a minute, Sora? That was unusual. The boy sunk to his knees, sliding down a stray locker, and this was my chance, my chance to rebel.

--

:: End Flashback ::

Sora shook off the tears that were coming on and made his way towards the double doors that led to the real world. He needed fresh air. He pressed on the handle bar and was about to step outside when a voice sounded behind him.

"Where're you going, kid?"

Sora turned around sharply and gasped.

Kairi was smirking, her arms crossed against her chest, as she slightly snarled, and she never snarled, Sora thought with a gulp, so this was bad.

She looked so different, he thought as he studied her. One of the first things he noticed was her outfit, she had on a black biker jacket with chains and a brown belly shirt on, and if he knew her, she would NEVER wear a belly shirt, so that was a big surprise. She had on baggy brown pants with two Velcro belts that wrapped around her small waist and a ton of pockets on it. Her wrists were adorned with black leather bracelets with spikes, and other bracelets that were those rubber ones with the sayings on it, you know, the ones all the punks wear, and on her neck was a brown collar with spike, and a tag that said 'Kairi Mayor' in these blood red letters.

"K-K-Kairi?" He asked shockingly, scared and shocked.

"Uh, duh." She snarled, and she cracked her knuckles, and Sora gulped.
"What happened?" Sora managed, and she smirked.
"Things."
"What…kind of things?"

"I met some people."

Sora gulped. He did not like this one bit.

"W-W-Who?"
"Me." Leon slinked up behind Kairi and smirked at Sora, and Kairi smiled. "Hey love." He greeted Kairi as she giggled.
"Love?" She asked. "Is that my nickname now?"
"Ja." He laughed. "But then again I call everyone that." He frowned as his eyes studied Sora.
"Why are you hanging out with him?"
"I'm not." She snarled in Sora's direction, who's jaw was about to hit the ground.

"Then what are you doing?"
She smirked and looked at him.
"Defending myself."
Leon cracked his knuckles, acting like he wanted to punch Sora now.

"Did this punk hurt you?"
"No, Leon."
"Good." He flicked Kairi's collar tab, and grabbed her hand.
"Come on, Kitten. Let's go."
"Yes, Leon."
--

Leon pulled her away and smirked.
"You did a good job, I saw your show. Pretty good for a person with an ex-boyfriend, and a starter."
Kairi smirked. "What was that love thing all about? I'm not your girlfriend…" She blushed at the thought, and Leon noticed this, and he smirked.

"Oh, so you don't want to be?"
Kairi thought about it for a moment, and then waved frantically. "WHAT?! How'd you get that idea?! I mean, uh, do I want to be? I don't know! Gah! You're confusing m-"

With that, she was silenced, 'cause Leon had taken up this opportunity to kiss her, and it wasn't tentative, like Sora's kisses, or hesitant, oh no, it was full on.

After a couple of seconds (more like a lot, Kairi thought), they broke away, breathless. Leon had a goofy grin on his face that was cute, and Kairi's eyes were wide, and she was blushing.
"Err…." She scratched the back of her neck, and Leon grinned.
"Yea." He drawled out, smiling.
"So I'll see you?"
"Can't wait."
Kairi walked off, but before she turned the corner, turned back to see a retreating Leon whistling and she smiled to herself, remembering the feeling.

"Yes!" She whispered, jumping up and humming a happy tune as she skipped childishly down the hallway.

Little did they know at the time, they were being watched.

A/N: Dude! That whole story was 2,559 words long! And like 5-6 pages in word. I think. Yea. It pained me very much to write that, but DON'T WORRY! Kairi and Sora will be together, cross my heart. 'Sides, I don't like the couple of Leon and Kairi. ::shudder::

'Till next time…

REVIEWING IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL, MAN.
