Friday came. Reno was throwing a party at his house while his parents were out of town. They'd be gone all weekend and he was sure his maids would be done cleaning the mess by Sunday.

Kairi leaning in towards her vanity mirror and was applying on her mascara when Tidus walked in and startled her. She had smudged the black goo on her left check and she pouted.

"Thanks Hun." She said sardonically.

Not noticing what he had done Tidus smiled and sat down on her bed, "Oh, no problem Honey Bunches of Oats."

Kairi cocked up an eyebrow, he never really called her that anymore. Funny he did now. "What?"

"What?"

"You're happy again."

"Am I not supposed to be happy?"

"NO." Kairi laughed.

"Nothing. How much longer are you going to take?"

"I WAS about finished when SOMEONE walked in and messed me up." She glared at him through the mirror knowing he was able to see her reflection.

When Kairi finished they both left in his car and was off to the party.


Rubbing the mist off of the mirror Sora made a clear space for him to see his face. He leaned in closer to the mirror and looked at himself closely. He looked a lot better than he did the first couple of days he got back home. He brushed his teeth and then went back into his room to get dressed. He pulled on a faded green switchfoot tee and a pair of jeans. His hair was flying in all different directions so he decided to put some pomade through it. After applying on his cologne Sora got up, slipped on his shoes and left for the party. It was 8:45pm—Sora was two hours late.
The party was, of course, crazy and everyone was just going wild. Sora walked into the party and found his friends, each doing their own thing. Reno in the hallway hitting on a cheerleader; Yuffie and Tommy sucking face in the corner; (accidentally found) Riku doing some chick upstairs; Selphie and a bunch of other girls drinking, including Kairi; and lucky him he didn't have run into Tidus, yet. Sora wandered around the party stopping a few times when a girl pulled him over to dance, make out, or…ahem—other stuff.

An hour into the party Sora finally found the only person that was by their self, Leon. Leon was leaning against the living room wall with a bottle of beer in hand. Sora picked up a beer from the cooler on the ground, "Hey Squall." He nodded and leaned up on the wall beside him.

"It's Leon."

Sora rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Why aren't you talking to any of the girls? Plenty are drunk and some are passed out—if you're into that sick stuff." Sora was trying to make him laugh. Nothing. Man, this guy is like STONE.

"You know Tidus and Kairi just had an argument." Leon finally said.

"Huh?" Sora arched an eyebrow. Why's he telling me this?

"Heh, I know you're happy to hear that." Leon smirked. Yes I am. "That's why Tidus isn't here. He took off—"

Sora began to say something, but Leon answered him before he even asked, "No, they didn't break up."

"Oh." Sora said looking down at the cooler that he had his foot on. "What was it about?"

"Yuna."

"What?" Sora looked up worried.

"Kairi's pissed cause she thinks Yuna's your…um. Girlfriend and that she's after Tidus, too."

"Too?"

"Heh, she's drunk. She thinks Yuna took you—and is supposedly after her new boyfriend."

"Did she say anything bad about Yuna?"

"Other than that? No—she didn't. She's just accusing Tidus of wanting Yuna, too."

"So she's wasted."

"Yeah."

"She never drinks."

"You know what that means."

"What?"

"You can give her a ride home. She doesn't have her car and none of her girlfriends are going to be able to drive—I know you're not gonna trust any other guy to take Kairi home tonight."

"No, I don't." Sora looked down the hallway at the group of girls drinking down any form of alcohol they could find. Sora shook his head at the sight. He let out a sigh, "I'll see ya later man. I'm gonna go find Yuff—if she and Tommy aren't already getting it on by now. Heh…"

He and Leon did a 'handshake' and then departed. Leon decided to go flirt with one of the girls in the other room and Sora went back into the den. He found Yuffie and Tommy sitting on a chair, Yuffie on Tommy's lap and just laughing. They're drunk all right. Sora began to walk over to them, beer in hand, until someone collapsed onto him.

"Woah!" The girl cried as she tripped over an electric chord that was plugged into the large stereo system and toppled onto Sora. Sora dropped his bottle and had his arms around her keeping her balance. "Kairi?". The music was so loud so only she heard her name come from his mouth right next to her ear. Kairi gave him a confused look and then attempted to stand but nearly fell again. Sora caught her again and this time he didn't let go. "Kairi, what are you doing?" he said a little louder."

She squinted her eyes, "Who are you? Stop touching me!" She tried to get loose.

"Kairi, it's me. Sora!" he shouted over the music causing Yuffie to turn her head in their direction. A smile spread across her face and then she whispered something to Tommy and they both stared.

"WHAT?" Kairi shouted not even hearing herself. Sora shook his head and hauled the intoxicated girl into the bathroom.

"What are you doing?"

"I have to find the bathroom."

"We are in the bathroom."

"Oh..why are you here? I can't pee with you watching me!" she stumbled a bit over her own heel."

"I didn't know you had to…um. GO."

"No, I said I needed the bathroom first. You GO." She stomped her foot as she said 'go' and broke her left heel. "Ow ow ow." She limped down on her left side and Sora pulled her up again.

"You ok?" he asked trying to get eye contact with her.

"No. I'm—I'm MAD. I hate Tidus." She finally looked up at the person holding her up. "Sora?"

Sora looked around the room like she was crazy, "Um. Yeah Kairi."

"I'm mad at you too. Why am I talking to you? I HATE YOU! You AND your girlfriend! I hate you all. Gosh, ARGH!" her hand that had been rested on the sink counter slipped and she practically fell AGAIN. Luckily Sora never let go of her arms.

"Kai, what are you talking about?"

"Don't call me Kai. I don't know you!"

"You do, hun. It's me, Sora." He said but Kairi was busy staring at the shower curtains. Sora grabbed her chin gently and turned her head to face him again, "Kairi?"

"What?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You and your girlfriend—Yuna!" she spat out. And tried to break loose from him. He gave up and let her go only to watch her stagger clumsily over to the toilet. She sat down and groggily gazed up a Sora again. "I hate you." She said under her breath purposely loud enough for him to hear her though.

"Kairi, that's not my girlfriend."

"Then WHO IS SHE!"

"That's my little cousin Yuna."

"Why haven't I met her before?"

"She just moved here."

"Oh."

"Why do you hate me?"

"Cause…" she trailed off.

"Cause?" Sora repeated.

"Oh—I don't know. I thought that was your girlfriend, and I got jealous. And I'm mad at Tidus cause your cousin has a crush on him, but I'm not really mad. I was just mad at you—but now I'm kinda happy…" she trailed off again.

"Why's that?"

"—Sora…" she sounded serious now. "…Sora…I" now more scared then serious.

Sora hurried over to her and knelt down, "What?"

"I—OMG I've gotta puke!" she got up lifting the toilet seat; she began throwing up.

"Ugh…" Sora's face cringed, "You know this isn't really sexy Kai." He joked.

She took a few breaths, "I hate…-inhale-…having you see me…-puke-…like this." She finally finished and Sora handed her a wet towel to wipe off her face. "Heh…"

"What?" Sora asked looking down at the girl in his arms. He had his arm wrapped around her helping her walk out of the house.

"I have no ride home. Tidus took off without me." She laughed at nothing in particular.

"Don't worry. I'll take you home."

"You're not drunk?" She hiccupped.

He shook his head, "Not really. I only had um…four bottles." He laughed, "Lemme guess how many you had. One?"

"Shut up. Hah ha. I'll let you know, I had two." She held up three fingers at his face and tripped over a small bump un the ground.

Sora laughed louder now. "Riiight." He opened the door for Kairi and helped her in and then jogged around to his car door. Before getting in he saw Leon on the porch lifting his beer bottle up at Sora almost like he was saluting him. Sora let out a slight chuckle and then got in.

The car ride home Kairi didn't say anything at all. The only noise was coming from the radio. The silent treatment was killing Sora now.

"Ey…Kairi?"

Nothing.

"Kai?"

Still, Nothing.

"Kairi, are you ignoring me?" He said turning to look at her now. She was leaning against the window beside her and she was breathing softly (asleep). Sora felt dumb for a while but just smiled at the sleeping inebriated girl. With no one home and Kairi without her key (her purse was in Tidus's car) Sora just took her to his house. His mom was asleep already when he got home so he just carried Kairi up to his room.

He placed her on the bed and tucked her in, half way out the door he heard a tired Kairi speak.

"Sora..?"

"Yeah?" he turned around and leaned on the doorframe.

Kairi sat straight up on the edge of the bed about to follow him, "You're not leaving me here are you?"

"Yeah I am. You've gotta get some sleep." He said crossing his arms.

"But—you can't…" she trailed off.

"Why not?"

She whispered now, "The clowns might eat me." Even though the lights were off Sora could see she was looking around the room a bit paranoid.

"Hah…" Sora walked over to her and laid her down pulling the covers over her legs again, "Kai, just go to sle—"

Sora didn't finish his sentence, Kairi had pressed her lips on his. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him down nearer to her. Great, now I can't get out of it. Sora thought feeling himself get deeper into the kiss. Their lips parted for a brief moment to take breaths but continued. A couple minutes later they stopped again to pull off each other's tops. In between kisses Kairi unbuckled Sora's belt and unzipped his pants, "Kairi…" Sora inhaled and exhaled heavily, "Kai I can't do this."

Kairi stared up at him with her eyes beginning to water, "Why not?"

"Look—kai. It's not that I don't' want to. He looked down at her chest, "I really want to. Heh…but I can't." He looked back at her face. "You've got Tidus—actually this really isn't because of Tidus. You're wasted. If you were sober, maybe. But—" Kairi blinked still not getting what his point was. "Kairi, just go to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow." Sora began to get off of her.

"No." she finally said grabbing him before he got off the bed. "Just…stay here." After about three minutes of silence and Kairi's pouts Sora caved in and just stayed with her (as if he really didn't want to lol).

The next morning Kairi woke up with a horrible headache. Where the heck am I? She looked around the room. She was in a dark room with the windows and doors closed. The walls plastered with posters everywhere, the ground covered with clothes and random things. The bed she was in was messy with black sheets, comforter and black pillowcases. She felt an arm wrapped around her and almost thought it was Tidus for a moment. She hugged the person back and after a few seconds realized the person she was in bed with had brown spiky hair and not the brilliant gold tresses her boyfriend had; then all the memories of the night before flooded her mind.

"OW." She said out loud now clasping her right hand to her head. The boy's arm still around her waist and his face in her chest. WAIT. MY CHEST! Kairi shrieked and jumped out of the bed landing on the floor. The racket she was making woke Sora up. He raised himself propped up on both elbows, he groggily stared at the frightened girl.

She registered his face, "Sora?"

"Hey Kai." He rubbed his eye.

"You? You took advantage of me last night?"

"What?" He was shocked that she would even think so, but seeing how she was drunk and woke up in bed half dressed—who wouldn't think so?

"Why—I was at the party. Why am I in your room?"

"Cause I couldn't get you in your house, and I wasn't about to leave you outside so I brought you here."

"Why are we in bed together?"

"Heh, I didn't see anything wrong with it. We've done it before." He laughed now running a hand through his messy hair.

"You're joking right?"

"Yeah I am. You forced me to, DUH. You really don't remember?"

Kairi thought for a second or two. Oh, I did.

"Um…" now in a whisper though no one else was in the room, "Did we have sex?"

"NO." Sora laughed. He got up off the bed and walked over to Kairi, reaching a hand out to her she took it and he pulled her up.

She looked down at herself; she was in a wife-beater and her tho—um.. "undies". She looked at Sora, shirtless like usual and in boxers. Ok, if someone walked in right now they'd be like

"WOAH. Did you guys just BANG?" Yuffie stood in the open doorway with a grin on her face.

Kairi's eyes widened and then attempted to hide herself behind Sora. He faced Yuffie with his hands on Kairi behind his back laughing, "Hey Yuff."

"Hah ha. I saw you two leaving the party together." She sat down in a nearby chair. "So…what's gonna happen?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you guys—dating again? Or things are going to go back to normal gigalo?" she laughed and Sora remembered the concert incident. Though this time nothing happened.

"Heh, Yuff…" he chuckled, "Get out."

"Why?"

"Nothing happened. Kairi needs to get dressed before someone else walks in—"

Tommy walked in. "Ok. I'm going back down there."

Kairi had never been more embarrassed in her life, except for the time she…ok we won't talk about that. She dashed for the bathroom in Sora's room and slammed the door. Sora and Yuffie stared at the door and were quiet for a minute or two.

"So nothing happened?" Yuffie whispered.

Sora shook his head.

"Then explain the 'nakedness'." She held back a giggle.

"I'll tell you later."

She nodded and left the room. Sora turned back to the door; walking up to it he placed a hand against the wood. He readied himself to say something like 'kai come out here' or 'you ok?'…But then he heard quiet sobs coming from the other side of the door. He knelt down lower and heard them a little clearer. She was sitting on the ground with her back against the door.

"Kairi…can you come out now?"

"…No."

"Why not?"

"I don't want to."

"They aren't here anymore."

"So."

"Then can I come in?"

"…What for?"

"So we can talk."

"I don't want to."

"Just open the door Kairi. I have the key anyway."

"………"

The door unlocked and the door opened to reveal Kairi with a tear stained face; mascara running down her cheeks. The lights in the bathroom were not on and only a little light shown through the shaded window.

"Oh…Kairi. What are you doing?" He hugged her and looked at the reflection of them in the mirror. Perfect.

She finally lifted her arms and wrapped them around his waist, "I am…SO embarrassed, I might die."

Sora laughed and she laughed at her self too. "It was just Yuff—"

"And that Tommy kid who sold candy to me at the theatre!" Kairi raised her voice a little.

"Well he doesn't know you—"

She sighed, "I'm still embarrassed."

The two were quiet for a few minutes until Kairi spoke up again. "Why do we do this?"

"What?" Sora loosened the embrace and looked down at her.

"Go from NOT talking to …making out. Then not talking to waking up in bed together."

Sora laughed, "I don't even know." He walked out of the dark bathroom. Kairi followed. Sora flopped down on the bed and leaned against the wall at the head of the bed. He watched Kairi get dressed. I haven't done this in a long time.

"Huh?" Kairi turned around pulling on her jeans.

Shit. Did I say that out loud? "I thought I said that in my head." Sora laughed at himself.

"Oh. You mind telling me what you're—um. Thinking about then?"

"Heh..I was talking about watching you dress." Kairi gave him a still clueless look, "Like, after a shower or whatever. I used to watch you get dressed and put on your makeup."

Kairi arched an eyebrow, "Weirdo." She smiled, "I didn't know you used watched me get ready."

"Yeah. Doesn't Tidus?"

Kairi smiled and shook her head before slipping on her shirt. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, where cleavage was supposed to be showing it was covered by the white wife-beater she had been wearing earlier. She smirked and then turned around to face Sora. Pointing at her chest she said, "Was I wearing this wife-beater yesterday?"

Sora wore a grin now, "Um…yes?" bad liar.

Kairi arched an eyebrow again. "So you did see something yesterday. Hah ha. You didn't touch did you?"

Sora lifted his hands up, "Er—just a little; but that was it! I promise."

Promise.

Kairi pulled off both shirts and then tossed Sora's tank top at his face as she put on her own shirt.

"How am I getting home?" She asked as she slumped back onto the bed besides Sora.

He shrugged, "You can walk." He flashed her a cheesy smile and then hopped off the bed. He turned around slightly before reaching his closet, "You know I'm kidding."

"Yeah nerd." Kairi said and fell backwards onto her back. She rested on the bed and just stared up at the ceiling. "Hey Sora?" she said in a softer tone, near a whisper.

"Yeah?" he called from inside the walk in closet. He was still getting dressed with the door half open. "What?"

Ilove you. "Never mind." Kairi called back as she rolled onto her stomach and peered at him behind the half open closet doors.

Sora stopped and stuck his head out of the closet; he was still only half dressed, "You ok?"

No. Kairi looked away from him and out the window, "I think so."

Sora gave her a puzzled look and walked slowly over to her at the edge of the bed. He knelt down eye level to her and waited til he finally gained eye contact with her, "what's wrong."

EVERYTHING! "Heh..nothing's wrong, Sora. I'm totally fine." Kairi gave a slight chuckle as to throw off Sora's seriousness. Not being convinced, Sora just stared at her until she just buried her face into the pillow she was holding. She spoke now, but her voice was muffled by the pillow, "Stop staring at me Sora. You know I hate being stared at like that."

Sora chuckled, "Yes. I do know that—so I'm going to stare at you until you tell me what's up." He put on his trademark grin and again waited quietly.

Thinking he had left Kairi looked up again. "ARGH!" she grumbled and dug her face back into the black pillow. "Sora…nothing's wrong. Go away."

"If I go away you'd have no ride home." He said to her and she replied something under her breath that he really couldn't make out. "Huh?"

"NOTHING—" she managed to say before Sora pounced her.

"TELL ME NOW." He demanded jokingly wrestling with her. She shrieked and began laughing with him.

"NO!" she got out of his grip and pinned him down. She sat on him with her hands on his shoulders keeping him from getting back up; both breathing heavily. Sora began laughing. "What?" Kairi asked confused. She let go of his shoulders and sat up straighter.

"Nothing. Now please get off me before I start thinking dirty thoughts." Sora gestured for her to get up.

"Oh. EWE!" she laughed and rolled off of him.

"So you going to tell me now or what?"

"Geesh do you have a one-track mind." She said sitting up now.

"Gosh. I won't ask then. You act like I really wanna know." Sora rolled to his left with his back towards her.

"You do. Hah ha. Dweeb." She rolled onto her left a bit setting her chin on Sora's shoulder.

He looked up at her from the corner of his right eye and then smiled. He rolled back onto his back and looked up at her as she was sitting up hovering over him, "You do know what you did to me yesterday, don't you."

Kairi laughed tensely, "Let's not talk about it."

"Oh, and why not?"

"I was drunk."

"Sure…you knew exactly what you were doing."

"Did NOT." She argued.

"Suuure." Sora chuckled placing his hands behind his head.

Kairi pouted then replying in defense, "Like you weren't totally in the moment too."

"There wasn't a moment. That kiss came totally outta nowhere."

"Ok, maybe it did. But don't act like you didn't like it."

"Oh I liked it alright. Freaky Kairi only comes around rarely."

"I was NOT FREAKY."

"You were too."

"How?"

"You don't remember?"

"I do. But—huh?"

"You practically ripped my shirt and tore off my zipper." Sora teased.

"Whatever. Oh yeah—speaking of missing particles of clothing—where's my bra?"

"I'm not telling you."

"What?"

"I'm keeping that as a souvenir—"

Sora's mom walked into the room holding the phone in her right hand, "Hi kids. Kairi dear, you're mother's on the phone for you."

"Oh. Thanks." Kairi stood up and took the phone from Sora's mother before she walked back out the door.

Sora waited about two minutes, Kairi hung up with her mom and began biting her nail.

Sora arched an eyebrow, "What?"

"Tidus knows I'm here."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. He showed up at my house today—he's still there. He asked my mom to call here for him." She sat down on the bed facing Sora.

"And?" Sora sat up.

"He's pissed."

"Why?"

Kairi shot him a 'Are you THAT dumb?' look and Sora mouthed her a "Oh".
