Chapter Nineteen: The Dance
-
((Kairi's POV:))
Well it is now Thursday night, the day of the dance and also the day before the last day of Middle School. It was all pretty exciting. And thankfully Sora-kun was still here. I didn't know when he was supposed to go to either heaven or hell. And apparently he didn't know either.
"So, you excited?" asked Sora-kun who was in his usual spot by the window.
"Un," I said smiling. I put a little butterfly clip in my hair; it matched perfectly with my beautiful lavender gown.
Sora-kun smiled. "Have you decided what songs you are going to sing?"
I turned to him and nodded. "Yep, My Immortal, which is in English, Hikari, and Dearest." (A/N happy? I have Hikari in here! )
Sora-kun smiled. "Isn't Hikari the one song you wish you had the sheet music for playing on the piano?"
"Un, and the sheet music you have!" I snarled playfully.
Sora-kun chuckled., "Had, Kairi-chan, had. Remember I'm dead?"
I frowned, "Don't remind me," I said as I put white eye shadow on.
Sora-kun sighed. "So how are you going to get to the dance?"
"Well," I said after I put on some vanilla bean lipgloss, "Naminé-chan is going to come over here, and then Riku-kun is going to come pick the both of us up."
Sora-kun looked at me, "Speaking of 'here', where are your parents?"
"Oh," I said, "They are with my Obaa-san."
Sora-kun raised an eyebrow, "Oh, that one…"
"Ya…" I had lost my grandfather earlier this year and my grandmother didn't take it so well.
"So your parents just left you and Yuffie-chan alone?"
"Un,"
"Where's she going?" Sora-kun asked curiously.
I laughed slightly, "Probably going to do something 'fun'. But Leonhart-san won't pick her up till way later, as far as I know."
Sora-kun quickly nodded, "Ahh, I see. Don't need to go into further detail" We both laughed. (A/N: XDDD If ur smart u'll prolly get wut she meant…)
I smiled, "I'll try to leave the dance early so I can hang with you, okay."
Sora-kun shook his head, "You don't have to."
"But I want to, the dance is probably not going to be fun without you, so I want to be with you." I blushed when I said that.
DING DONG"Oh, that's probably Naminé-chan," I picked up my purse, "Well I'll see you later alright?"
"Yea," said Sora-kun smiling.
((.:Sora's POV:.))
Kairi-chan was about to walk out of her room, "Kairi-chan," I called.
She turned to me, looking at me with those beautiful dusk colored eyes, "Nani?"
I sighed, "I just wanted to let you know… that I… really do care for you…" I said nervously.
Kairi-chan stopped, she looked at me, not saying a thing, her soft cheeks were glowing with a pinkish color. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. 'Now she probably hates me.'
DING DONG
Kairi-chan finally blinked, "Gomen, Sora-kun, I need to go." She didn't even give me a second glance; she closed the door behind her.
I sighed, I felt a feeling go through me, 'Ahh, almost time,' It was almost time for me to go, time for me to make one wish, "I wish, I wish, that I could be alive for one last night."
-
((.:Kairi's POV:.))
I was so confused, 'Did he just say that he cared for me? What kind of care did he mean? Friend caring? Like caring? Or love caring?' I shook my head I would just worry about it when I came back.
I rushed to the door, I opened it to see Riku-kun and Naminé-chan. "Hey, I thought you were going to pick Naminé-chan and I here." I said to Riku-kun.
He just shrugged, "I'm happy to see you too, Kairi-chan."
I gave him a half-smiled, "Gomen, I'm just nervous."I walked out of the house.
Riku-kun nodded, "Well, anyway, you look good."
"Arigatou,"
Naminé-chan pouted, "And what about me?"
Riku-kun laughed and rapped his arm around her shoulders, "As do you, Naminé-chan, that pretty blue dress just look stunning on you." I smiled as I heard so much honesty in his voice.
"Why thank you." Said a now happy Naminé-chan.
I tucked a piece of loose hair behind my ear, "Sorry to break this happy moment, but I'm going to leave the dance after I sing. I have something I want to do."
Riku-kun looked at me, and was about to say something but he noticed that I really didn't want to discuss it, "Alright." He said, "Just be careful."
I smiled at the fact that he was a little worried about me, "Don't worry I'll be careful."
Naminé-chan looked at me, "Kairi-chan, are you alright?"
"Yea," I said looking at her confused, "Why wouldn't I be?"
Nam-chan just shook her head, "Oh, nothing, you just seemed a little down about something, that's all.'
"No, I'm just nervous that's all." I said shrugging my shoulders.
Riku-kun gently patted my back, "You should have nothing to be nervous about. You have a beautiful voice. Everyone will just love you."
"Heh thanks." I said.
"Are we just going to meet Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun at the dance?" asked Naminé-chan.
"Mmm hmm," replied Riku-kun.
"Oh okay."
We finally got into our school, which was crowded with eighth graders, from the inside and out. Everyone was dancing, so we knew it would be a little bit difficult to find our friends.
"Kairi-chan!" I heard I turned to see Sakura-chan running up to us with Syaoran-kun.
"Hey," We all said to eachother.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Syaoran-kun shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with the DJ they hired."
I raised an eyebrow. "Why what's wrong with the DJ."
"Come," said Sakura-chan motioning us to follow her.
"OHMIGOSH!"

((.:Sora's POV:.))
I could feel the floor beneath me, I smiled to myself. I could feel. I could breathe. I walked over to Kairi-chan's nightstand and opened the drawer. I picked up the red book, which was my journal. I sighed as I tore a blank page out of it, I rushed to Kairi-chan's desk and picked up a pen.
I walked quietly out of her room, now all I had to worry about was Yuffie-chan seeing me. I walked over to her room, the door was left ajar, and she was talking on the phone while painting her fingers. I shook my head and quietly walked down the stairs and went outside.
Luckily it was dark outside so I didn't have to worry about people seeing me. I put my hood on. I ran to my house.
There was only one light on in my house, and that was downstairs where the living room was. 'Thank Kami,' I thought graciously.
I looked around making sure no one was watching as I hopped over the wall, which would lead to the backyard. I landed with ease, I guess I was kind of a pro at this, I used to always sneak out at nigh, just so I could watch Kairi-chan sleep. So I knew exactly what to do.
I walked silently across my backyard making sure that I wasn't heard or seen. I saw the tree that was by window. I hopped onto it and climbed to the branch that was the closest to my window. I completely doubted that my parents touched at thing in my room, so I was pretty sure that my window was still opened.
I tried pulling it open, it was thankfully still unlocked. I silently hopped into my room, which was still messy. I picked up the flashlight that I always had by my desk, which was by the window.
I walked over to my nightstand and opened a drawer, and took off the key that was taped to its side. I walked over to my closet and took out a trunk that had a lock on it, this trunk had all of my personal belongings that were most important to me. I unlocked it.
I picked up the first thing that caught my eye; it was a keychain that Kairi-chan had given to me in the fourth grade…
.:Flashback:.
Kairi-chan and I were sitting together in class. "Ugh, I'm never going to pass that reading test coming up." I said almost breaking my poor innocent little pencil.
Kairi-chan looked at me, "Well first off don't kill your pencil, it didn't do anything to you." She told me with a cute little pout painted on her ivory face, "Well, Sora-kun. I dunno what to do about your issue here."
I sighed with frustration, "Ya, thanks for all you help Kairi-chan."
"Oh c'mon!" she said tapping her pink pencil on my head. "I'll try to help you study, and here." She said putting something in front of me.
I looked at it and then to her, "What's that? And how is it going to help me pass my test?"
"It's my lucky charm you can keep it, I think you'll need it more than me." She said with a calm smile.
I picked it up it was a keychain, on one side it looked like a flower with a little smiley on it, and on the other side it looked like a little star. I smiled, "Arigatou Kairi-chan."
Kairi-chan gave me a sweet and tender smile, "No, problem. Just promise me something."
I looked at her, "Nani,"
Her pretty face became serious, "To always take very good care of it and to someday return it back to me."
I gave her a nod, "I promise."
.:End of Flashback:.
(A/N BTW yes that was the oathkeeper keychain.)
I smiled at it, I kept one part of the promise so far, I took good care of it. I was also intending to keep the other part of the promise too; I put the keychain back in the trunk. I picked up a black velvet box; I lightly stroked it and opened it up. Inside was a silver ring, with three diamonds on it. 'Obaa-san gave it to me before she passed away.' I thought I smiled.
I remembered what she had said to me, "Magomusuko, I want you to keep this. It was the ring your Jii-chan gave to me when he proposed. Give it to the girl you love…'
I looked at the ring; it shimmered with prismatic colors in the light of the flashlight. "Don't worry, Obaa-san I will." I whispered.
I put the ring back into its place and picked up a group of pictures that I had, there was a lot of them of Kairi-chan. There were some of Sakura-chan and I on our birthdays; a lot of them were of my family or all of my sister's school pictures. Some of Riku-kun and I. Some with Riku-kun and Syaoran-kun a lot of the whole group including Naminé-chan. There was one that I light laughed at; it was Naminé-chan glomping me with Kairi-chan in the background looking annoyed.
I put the pictures back; I saw the sheet music I had of Hikari, which was for piano. Kairi-chan and I both took piano and we were both very good at it. Sometimes after school we'd practice with eachother, just for fun.
I took out and looked at some more things, such as funny birthday cards, extra money, my favorite Inuyasha things, favorite CDs and more pointless stuff. Then I picked up a necklace, it was more of a chain really, and it was completely silver. There was silver crown on it. I remember Kairi-chan had given it to me for my eleventh birthday.
I put down everything and walked over to my desk, I took that piece of paper and pen out of my pocket and started writing.
Okaa-san and Otou-san,
If something were to happen to me, would you please give this trunk to Kairi-chan. Everything in the trunk please? Obaa-san's ring is also in there, and I really want that to be Kairi-chan's. I would just be really happy if you gave the trunk to her.
With Love-
Sora-kun
When I was happy with what I wrote I put the note nicely into the trunk and I locked it but I kept the key in the lock. I knew my parents were going to open it soon, because they had to go into my closet. Rikku-chan's birthday was coming up, and the gift-wrap was all in my closet.
I put the flashlight back onto my desk, and left my room.

((.:Kairi's POV:.))
"OHMIGOSH!" called the DJ she was looking straight at Riku-kun. She was fair skinned, with dishwater blonde hair. She had brown eyes. (A/N LiLi-sama I only know this because I looked at ur homepage thingy, I'm NOT stalking u… or am i? Lolz XD)
She ran out of her little 'I'm so special cuz I'm the DJ' area and ran over to where we were. She stood in front of Riku-kun just staring at him. "Um, konnichiwa. My name is Riku…" Riku-kun said.
The DJ went all starry-eyed, "Aww what such a cute name for such a hott guy! My name is LiLi-sama!"
Naminé-chan, sakura-chan and I just all looked at her, "So why does she think she's all special?" I whispered to Saku-chan.
Sakura-chan just shook her head. "I dunno."
"Grrr." Growled Naminé-chan.
Riku-kun slightly blushed, "Uh, thanks, LiLi-sama…"
'LiLi-sama', gave a huge smile, "Oh, you are so very so welcome, you really super hott guy I shouldn't be talking to because I'm supposed to be a DJ but I don't know why I'm doing this at this moment because DivineRoseKeeper is controlling me."
We all looked at her, "Who is 'DivineRoseKeeper?'"
LiLi-sum all looked at us, "I dunno." She hugged Riku-kun really tight, "I need to go back to what I was doing or else I might get fired and then I'd have to be with my weird brother who I don't really want to be with." (A/N didn't u say u hated ur brother…?)
"Um, okay you go do that." Riku-kun told her.
We all looked at Riku-kun, Naminé practically glomped him, "Are you okay, Riku-kun? Are you scarred for life?"
Riku-kun blushed, "ah, um, no. Naminé-chan I'm all right really."
Naminé-chan let go of him, "Oh okay."
"AHEM!" called LiLi-sama from her little oh so special place, "After this song, Hikari Kairi is going to be singing her three songs."
Riku-kun walked up to me, "You wanna dance, since your going to be singing after this?"
I smiled kindly, "Shua."
As Riku-kun and I danced, I really didn't think about anything, I was in bliss. My mind was serene and in peace. It was what I just needed.
The song ended, I walked up to where, LiLi-sama was, "Oh, are you Hikari-san?" she asked.
"Un,"
She nodded, "So what are the songs and in what order, I told her what I wanted and she got everything ready. (A/N well isn't LiLi-sama just nice? X3)
I walked up on stage, everybody was looking at me, I took a deep breath. "Konnichiawa everyone, I'll be singing tonight, all of these song I'm singing are dedicated to Isamu Sora. The first song I'll be singing is Hikari.

I took a deep breath, everybody was clapping for me, I noticed that everybody was dancing, Sakura-chan, Syaoran-kun were dancing, they looked really happy, Riku-kun was dancing with Naminé-chan. And I even saw Axel-san and Larxene-san dancing. I smiled at everyone, "Okay this next song is in English, it's called, My Immortal."
Artist: Evanescence
Song: My Immortal
CD: I dunno XD
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me
i've been alone all along
(A/N Don't ask I just luv that song, and I had heard it the other day and listened to it, and I was like, 'Ohmigawd! This song kinda fits with yabt!" D) I looked around the room, everybody had danced again. And now they were just clapping, waiting for me to sing the next song. "My last song for you tonight will be Dearest." I said.
(A/N You'd think I'd be tired of this song by now…)

I inhaled deeply, my voice hurt and I was hot. A little bead of sweat went down my face. "Arigatou, minna-san." I said before I walked off the stage.
I went through the crowds so I could say goodbye to my friends. I saw Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan they were kissing…? 'Aww, how kawaii! Go Sakura-chan!' I thought happily, I cleared my throat as they both looked at me blushing bright red. "Um, sorry to ruin your little happy felt moment here, but I'm leaving."
Sakura-chan walked up me and gave me a hug, "Okay, I'll see you at school tomorrow, ne?"
I nodded my head, "Un, ya you'll see me."
"Okay, Kai-chan."
"Where's Riku-kun and Naminé-chan?" I asked her.
Sakura-chan looked around, then Syaoran-kun spoke, "They're over there." He pointed to where they were.
I walked over there, a slow song was now playing, and Riku-kun held Naminé-chan pretty tight. "Um, I'm leaving guys."
They both looked at me and nodded, "Okay be careful Kairi-chan." Riku-kun told me.
"Will do" I said as I walked out of the auditorium.

Kairi's Room
((.:Sora's POV:.))
I walked over to her nightstand again and took my journal out, I went to the last blank page, and started writing.
Kairi-chan,
As I have told you I love you dearly. You are probably reading this right after I left for either heaven or hell. I promise we'll meet again. I will miss being around you everyday. Please take good care of all of my sisters and please still be friends with my friends…
Love-
Sora-kun

Author's Note: Actually, It didn't take that long to make this chapter… I'm amazed 0.0 hehe hehe. And I hope LiLi-sama is happy with her little Riku encounter…. Well the next chapter probably won't be that long… Just a little warning there. Sorry that there wasn't really any fluff, but that's how this chapter is I guess. Oh and BTW I put the dresses site on my profile it'll be under where I'm talking about this fic, ok?
