Sora's POV again, and sorry I haven't been updating. High school's been real busy. You'll have to excuse some mistakes in spelling/grammar, I'm working on Keeping Secrets, Shadows of the Past, and Loose Change today, so those will all be posted sometime this week...I think lol. E-mail me if you have any questions, or check out my

I think that's all.

Love ya,

Momo
P.S.: When Kairi speaks French, she says, "Madame, I'm sick. Where's the infirmary (or health room)". The teacher replies that "it's to the right of the cafeteria", and Riku says that his friends are sick too. I know I probably typed the French wrong, lol, but you get the gist of it.

.:Chapter 3:.
Sora

Kids cleared a pathway as Sora entered with his posse.

I don't know what the hell she was thinking, but I'll get her back for sure...just gotta figure out how...

Fuming, Sora ignored the moving bodies and went to take his usual seat, only to find that Kairi had taken his place.

"Move it, bitch," he snarled, expecting her to move immediately (she hadn't scared him that bad, come on!)

Kairi just ignored him, continuing to stare off into space. Motioning to his two followers, Sora sat down next to Kairi, and Tidus sat next to him as Riku sat in front of Kairi. Shooing a frightened Yuna to the front, they put their backpacks on the chairs of the seats diagonal to Kairi and in front of Tidus and Riku. This was going to be a private party.

Sora was about to make a snide comment when the French teacher entered the room. Unlike the other teachers, Riku hadn't quite managed to manipulate this one. Madame Gleeson sat at her desk and announced, "Class, today I will be correcting your quizzes from last week. You may either get a head start on your homework, on the board, or talk quietly amongst yourselves. Thank you"

Almost the entire class began talking.

Good, this will mask our conversation...

"So tell me Kairi, how do you like school so far?" he asked slyly.

"It sucks balls almost as much as you suck dick," she said, pulling out her headphones and putting them on.

Furrowing his eyebrows, Sora slammed on the stop button of Kairi's CD player.

"You better watch yourself, Kairi. Or you won't be around this school long."

She turned to face him, "What, you think you can scare me outta here? I think not. Besides, this class is a waste of time. I'm leaving," she said, gathering up her things.

Sora nodded to Riku, who grabbed a hold of her wrist. Not even reacting, Kairi asked Madame Gleeson, "Madame, je suis malade. Où est la infermiere?"

The teacher, obviously impressed, answered, "Oui, la infirmiere est a droit a la cantine."

Riku, forced to let go, thought fast and said, Madame, Mes amis aussi"

The teacher gave the group a suspicious look, then glanced at Kairi's back as she headed out the door, but finally nodded, "Tes aussi."

Following Kairi out the door, Sora smirked at Yuna, who looked quite worried.

Watching Kairi, they saw her head out of a side exit door and head around the corner of the school.

Following quietly, the boys exited the school as well and found Kairi. She was sitting down against the wall and shuffling through her bag.

"Since when was the health room moved here?" Sora asked with a smirk.

Kairi ignored him and pulled out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes.

"Hey, man, you shouldn't smoke. Especially on school property..." Sora said, a little sketched out.

Taking a drag, Kairi exhaled and said, "Since when do you care. Go back to class and mind your own business." Turning to head back in, Sora murmured, "It's not our fault if you get caught." Kairi just shrugged.

French class had finished, and soon Chorus had as well. When the boys were heading to math, Sora said, "You go on a head. I have something to take care of." Both boys were uneasy, being without leader, but headed to Algebra anyway. The bell rang, and soon all the kids were in their respective classes, leaving Sora to wander the halls alone. He soon had exited the door where they had before. Rounding the corner, he found Kairi again. But she was a total mess.

Her arms were bleeding a little, from small cuts, obviously made by a razor, she had a lazed look in her eyes, and was starting on her second pack of cigarettes. Stepping on the cigarette butts, Sora walked over and sat next to Kairi.

"What the fuck do you want now?" she asked, slowly making another cut on her wrist.

Sora reached over and gently grabbed her hand. He opened her bloody hand (the blood had dripped over it from her arm). Opening her trembling hand, he took the blade away from her. She glared at him, hatred burning in her eyes. But it wasn't directed at him. Her eyes burned as if she was glaring at someone off in her own little world, as if their face had replaced Sora's.

"Kairi..." Sora began, but she coldly cut him off asking, "I said, what do you want?"

"Let me ask you this, Kairi: What do you want?" Sora returned softly.

Kairi's eyes began to fill with tears, "Shut up! Just shut the hell up!"

As if he had no control over his body, Sora surprised himself and wrapped his arms around Kairi.

Okay, this makes no sense. Here I am comforting someone, and my enemy no less!

She is my enemy, right?

His thoughts were interrupted by Kairi whispering softly, "What's wrong with me?"

Sora looked down at her shocked, "N-Nothing's wrong with you..."

Kairi just turned in the other direction, thinking to herself.

Sighing, Sora let go of Kairi, "You should probably head home..."

"If you want me to be able to come to school tomorrow, then that's probably not a good idea," she said coldly, standing up and hoisting her backpack onto her shoulder.

"Well, where are you gonna go then?" Sora asked, almost sarcastically.

Kairi turned back to him and with hardened eyes. Taking a swig of her liquor, she wavered and muttered, "Why to you give a damn?" Before passing out.

Dashing forward, Sora caught her.

Dammit! She's completely unconscious! What the hell am I gonna do now?!

With a sigh, Sora fully scooped Kairi up and lifted her backpack onto his shoulder. Grunting, he pulled his up as well and began the long walk home.
