Random Kingdom Hearts Reviewer- it wasn't as sad as I had expected it to be. I guess I just get into my stories, and I think of it as me lol. Well here is ur 'uper long chapter that you get to finally read!
LiLi-Sama- Yeah, u guessed it. Josh did like Kairi. Sorry if you're not a Lindsay Lohan fan. Those are the only songs I ever mention in any of my stories from her. They're mostly Hilary Duff songs. Sorry if you're not a fan of hers, but I just had to pick those songs cuz they fit in well with emotions I'm trying to bring out in the characters, plus I love almost all her songs. Please forgive me! Well here is yet another chapter.
Shirozora- lol that's pretty crazy that you live by a place called Northridge. It was the first thing to come outta my head since I don't want this story to sound too much like my others. Hope you like this chapter!
AirKid- yay! I'm so glad you like my story. And no, Josh didn't plan something like that to happen. Yeah I agree Sora did act irrationally. Hope to hear another review after this chapter!
Chapter 24- Secrets Reveled.
I woke up the next morning in my chair. I looked around me wondering what had happened last night. I got up and looked at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was a mess and my eyes looked all puffy. I figured it would be a good time to get in the shower before I did anything else.
After my shower and I ate breakfast, I got Princess, who was almost fully-grown now, on her leash, and I went downstairs. The moving clouds were covering the sun every once in a while. Princess and I started to walk down the streets as I tried to remember exactly what happened. We were walking along the beach when I saw a guy and a girl hugging. It hit me. Sora thought I was cheating on him with Josh. 'Wonderful.' I sighed to myself. We started to turn around when I saw Josh.
"Kairi! I'm so glad I found you! I'm so sorry about what happened between you and Sora! I didn't mean for it to happen!" he yelled as he ran over to me. "You know I wouldn't do anything to ruin your relationship with him!"
"I know you didn't," I said looking down. "I think Sora's already moved on though."
"I'm so sorry Kairi," Josh said looking down shaking his head. "I need to tell you something though and it's about Sora."
"What is it?" I looked up.
"Him and –" but before he could finish, his cell phone rang. "Sorry let me take this really fast, it's my parents."
"Okay," I nodded. I really needed to know what Josh was going to tell me about Sora. Sora and who though?
"No, I can't leave yet. Can't we go later?" Josh was talking to his parents on the phone. He hung up and looked at me. "Sorry Kairi. My parents are down the street they're coming to pick me up. We're going somewhere."
"Well, I'm sure what you have to tell me can be said with in a minute," I urged.
"True. Okay, Sora and –" But again before he could finish, a car horn honked behind him. Josh's parents pulled up. Josh sighed. "Okay, I promise I'll tell you, but I got to go now. Sorry Kai."
I looked down as Josh and his parents drove away. Princess and I started to walk back home. My stomach turning and twisting at what Josh was trying to get out. We started to walk down my street when I saw Sora holding the door open as someone walked into his house. She was the same girl who was with him last night. Sora followed her in.
"He's home Princess, let's go find out who this mystery chick is." I started to walk fast down the street as Princess started to pull me. I turned by my house to go put Princess away, but as I got to my door I saw a girl walk up to Cloud's door. "Cindy?" I said dropping my mouth open. 'No, no, no. Cloud's secret admirer is Cindy?' The door opened and Cloud came out to his porch.
"What are you doing here?" I heard him say.
"Cloud, I'm the one who wrote you that note," Cindy said. 'Oh boy, and I thought I had it bad.' I thought as I continued to watch.
"Wait, what?" Cloud said outraged. I looked around to see who else was around. Namine was walking out of her house and heading in our direction.
"Yeah, it was me," Cindy started to walk up to Cloud. Namine walked in front of my house.
"Hey Kai. What are you doing?" Namine asked not noticing anything yet.
"Uh…." I pointed at Clouds house. Namine looked over. I saw her jaw drop open.
"Cloud. I told you I would show you my real identity when the time was right." Cindy was right up to Cloud now. Cloud stood back but was eventually pinned to the wall.
"Get away from me. I'm in love with Namine! I'm not going to let you get in the way of that!" he yelled at her. I looked over at Namine, but she wasn't there. Namine was running over to Cloud's yard. She ran up to his porch and pushed Cindy away from him.
"Get away from him!" She yelled.
"Namine, Namine, Namine," Cindy said shaking her head, but yet she looked please with herself. "There isn't anything you can do." Namine looked at Cloud. Cloud just looked at her as well. I looked down at Princess. Her ears were back and she was crouched low. I smiled. I brought Princess over to the end of Cloud's yard. It took a lot for Princess to feel the urge to show anger, but I figured this was a perfect opportunity.
"Hey Cindy! Over here!" I called. Cindy, Namine, and Cloud looked at me as I unhooked Princess' leash off of her collar. Princess growled and charged at Cindy. She barked ferociously. Cindy screamed and ran off the porch. Princess jumped at her but only landed right in front of her. She barked loudly. Cindy ran to the sidewalk and continued to run as fast as she could down the street. I watched her disappear and laughed to myself. Cloud and Namine looked at me.
"Thank you Kairi!" Namine bursted out. She ran over and hugged me.
"You're welcome," I smiled.
"So how come Princess didn't attack?" Cloud asked as he petted Princess.
"Because Princess wouldn't hurt a fly. Sora and I trained her well." As I said that a butterfly landed on her nose. The three of us laughed as she jumped up causing the butterfly to fly away. "Well I better go talk to Sora."
"Good luck," they both said.
"Thanks," I replied. "Come on Princess." I decided I would bring her over. We both walked across the street. I didn't bother to put Princess' leash back on. I knew she wouldn't wander away from me. I knocked on the door and Sora's mom answered again.
"Oh, hello Kairi."
"Hi. Um, is Sora here?" I asked.
"Yeah he is. He's in his room." She stepped aside as Princess and I walked in. I started to walk up the stairs quietly. My heart was pounding against my chest. Princess tried running up the stairs but I held her by her collar. I reached Sora's door, which was closed. I took in a deep breath and put my hand on the doorknob. Time seemed to slow down as I pushed open the door.
When the door finally opened. Princess got out of my grip and ran over to Sora who was by his window. I looked around his room. I saw the girl sitting on his bed looking back at me. She jumped up surprised.
My eyes widened. "YOU!" I said looking at her with my mouth dropped open.
"Kairi," Sarah said shocked. I glared at her and made fists with my hands but put them to my side. I was already starting to shake with anger and sadness.
"Kairi," Sora said taking a step toward me. I shot him a glare.
"You thought I was cheating on Josh! Look what you're doing! Do you even know what she's done to people!" I screamed at him. Sora looked at me slightly annoyed.
"She found out that information. Sarah and I went to Star City, and since she knew the way around there, we split up to look for you. She saw you all over Josh," Sora said.
"I didn't do anything with him! I only hugged him!"
"That's not what she said."
"OH! I see, you're going to take her side over your own girlfriends!" I glared and stormed out of his room with Princess. "I can't believe him," I said walking out of his house. I was walking down his sidewalk and before I even realized it, I was walking into Riku's house. I'm surprised that the door was unlocked. I made my way up the stairs up to Riku's room. His door was closed but I opened it anyway.
"Oh my god! What are you doing here?" Riku said jumping up. Him and Amanda were watching T.V. on his bed.
"Sorry if I'm bothering you. I just- I can't go home right now," I said sitting on his bed next to them. Princess jumped up too and started to lick Riku's face happily.
"You can stay, but can you get your dog to stop licking my face," Riku said trying to hold Princess back. Amanda laughed.
"Come here Princess," she called. Princess licked her face and then laid in front of the three of us.
"So what happened?" Riku asked. I looked at him and Amanda. I took a deep breath and explained what had happened since this morning. I tried not to choke up.
"So do you think the someone that Josh meant was Sarah?" Amanda asked leaning toward me.
"More then likely," I said resting my head on the wall and looking up. "I should have known." Suddenly the door to Riku's room opened. Sarah and Sora walked in.
"God, does everyone have to keep barging in?" Riku said.
"Kairi, I need to talk to you," Sora said firmly as he stopped right in front me.
"What?" I said with no emotion not wanting to be near him.
"If you really did like Josh, you should have told me. We're not supposed to keep things from each other."
"I don't like him, Sora! Why can't you understand that? I never kept anything from you!"
"Sora, she's not very understanding," Sarah whispered out loud to Sora and put her hand on his arm.
"You stay out of this!" I yelled at her scooting forward.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me that you kissed him!" Sora said angrily.
"How many times to I need to say it to you! I didn't kiss him! Nor will I ever!" I stood up.
"Come on Sora," Sarah said walking to the door. "Let's go."
"Hold on, I have to tell Kairi something," Sora said walking up to me. "I don't care if you want someone else." I looked away crossing my arms. 'He's never going to understand.' "It'll probably be too late for you to understand what I'm trying to tell you. I'll miss you, but something in my head keeps telling me that you wont miss me."
"What the hell are you talking about?" I said looking back at him.
"Just forget it okay, just never mind," he shook his head. "You don't catch on too well. I shouldn't have to explain anything to you. Sarah's right, you're not very understanding." Sora said looking at Sarah. Looking at them, I didn't want to know what Sora said, he was just getting on my last nerve.
"Leave," I said firmly trying not to scream.
"My pleasure," Sora said walking to the door, but he turned back around. "Sometimes I can't believe you Kairi," he said with a disgusted look. Cloud and Namine came to the door.
"I need to lock my door," I heard Riku say. I would have laughed, but it just wasn't the time for me to be doing so. I really wanted to scream.
"What's happening?" Cloud asked looking at all of us.
"What are you doing here?" Namine asked Sarah.
"We were trying to talk to Kairi," she replied. Namine and Cloud walked next to me.
"How do I know that you're not with Sora?" I asked shaking my head.
"I'm not going out with her," Sora said glaring slightly.
"Oh and I'm supposed to believe that?"
"You should."
"Why should I when you don't believe me, Sora? Really?" I asked harshly.
"She's the only one I could talk to with out something like this happening!" he snapped back.
"Leave Sora," I said again firmly. "Get out!" I knew the relationship was over, even if he didn't tell me. He glared at me before walking out. I let out an aggravated sigh wanting to yell at the top of my lungs. I sat back down on Riku's bed. "Just like how Sarah ruined Josh's life, she ruined mine." I explained everything to Cloud and Namine.
"So, she's the one who told Sora that you kissed Josh, even though you didn't," Namine said. I nodded.
"Why does he have to be so stubborn? You think he would trust my words over hers," I said.
"Guys can be stupid sometime."
"Hey!" Riku and Cloud yelled.
"No offence to you guys," she replied.
"Well I better go. I think this was about enough excitement for me for one day," I said getting up and taking Princess home. I laid on my bed trying to understand what Sora meant by I wouldn't miss him. I already miss him even though he was being such an asshole.
School started back up again. Even though Sora was in every single class, it only felt like he was a ghost. He completely ignore all of us, even when we had to work together on something, he wouldn't say much. No eye contact what so ever. The rest of us were planning on our Talent show performance. It was after school, a few days of being back.
"So I have an idea you guys." I said looking at all of them.
"What is it?" Tidus asked.
"Well, Namine and I will do our own performances, yet we will all be in both of them together," I started.
"Sounds interesting so far," Selphie said obviously wanting more information.
"So, what exactly what will we be doing?" Amanda asked.
"Okay, well, Namine will pick a song to do and I'll be her lead back up singer. That is if she needs one. Amanda and Selphie will be the other back up singers. Wakka-"
"Oh, count me out of being onstage. I all ready took up the offer to be stage crew," Wakka said.
"Okay then. Cloud and Riku will be our guitarist. And Tidus you'll be our drummer," I finished. "For my performance, I just need the girls to kind of be the back up voices that will be very quiet."
"What song are you singing anyways?" Cloud asked.
"I'm going to sing Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru."
"Aw, I know why! You're going to try to win Sora back huh?" Namine smiled.
"Yeah, I am going to try," I smiled, praying in my head that everyting would go my way. Even though I was upset about what happened over spring break, I didn't want to let Sora go. I wore my ring to prove that.
A/N: the end of the story is coming soon. I'm hoping to get at least five reviews for this chapter before I continue, that's not too much to ask, right? So if you want to find out what's going to happen, review!
