Kairi held her largest red duffel bag tightly to her chest, pale fingers curling around the edges almost protectively. Her light eyes had found the windows of Leon's small silver car and hadn't left them since.

And it was just like her to fall into quiet at a moment like that.

A cloud had drifted over her mind and enveloped her in a reverie, actually. She was just pondering over had happened or maybe even seemed to happen over the past few days, it seemed so unreal. 'YL' just shows up, recognizes her talent and pulls her out of her secluded world, a world that she was happy in. Well, no. Scratch that. A world she was miserable in devoid a few people.

That's why at the current minute she wasn't staring at the back window in resentment. Instead she was grazing every house they passed with her irises and taking in the atmosphere for perhaps the last time. For a while, at least. But half of her gaze was begging her mind to turn to Yuffie, not that she was about to be that obvious.

Sora, meanwhile, was very quiet at her side, not exactly mourning the loss of the Destiny Isles he had always resided in either.

Of course, the small brunette would miss his mother but he wouldn't miss the "stereotypical island" and everything in it that surrounded him every morning to night. Change just might be the best thing for him and Kairi.

Even if it included that sexy and evil thing that was Riku. But, god, he didn't want his thoughts to drift back to that guy. He just…rrgh. He was so mad yet had a feeling if the silver-haired dancer showed up at his side at any moment asking for a round in his bed he would agree all too readily.

Out of the corner of his eye, (oh, so alike are the best friends) he watched Yuffie straighten her skirt and glance hesitantly back at them from the passenger seat.

"Sora…" His best friend whispered slowly across the cloth middle seat.

He turned to her and raised his eyebrows enthusiastically, "Hm?"

Kairi seemed to pause here, a concerned expression flitting through her features, "Are you sure this is okay?"

The eldest Harada son shot her a huge, boy-like grin, "I'm pretty selfish, Kai. I wouldn't have said yes if I didn't want to. You know that, stupid."

A smile broke out on her face as well. She linked hands with him, "I love you, you petite, unselfish, homosexual thing you." There hands looked right in one another's. Like a brother's and a sister's might.

Leon refrained from snorting in the front as he turned the steering wheel, ears perking at their soft conversation. He hated to admit it but it seemed his business partner had made a perfect choice. Thinking, he glanced over at her and when she didn't turn, nudged her leg with his foot. When she finally looked up at him through heavy eyelids he tilted his head toward the two best friends, "Looks like you might have to get through big shoes in order to get your heroine, Yuffie."

She shoved at his shoulder, "Sshh. You're the one who's supposed to get embarrassed when people mention love even lightly. Not the great ballerina Yuffie!"

The dance master cocked a dark brow and continued driving. With something of a frown on his lips he replied, "You mean, nudnik, if I was capable of love. Let alone if I met anyone worthy of such an emotion.

Yuffie rolled her eye. He loves them already.

(oOo)

When they finally arrived at the studio Riku was already present, punctual and perfect as ever. He had one hand on the floor and the other holding him up, leaning his back against the cold side of the dance building.

Leon didn't even spare him a glance (did he even notice he was there?) as he stalked into the huge building.

Sora did, though. He peered over at the silver-haired sex god as discreetly as possible, in a way that would have made him smirk had he noticed, before grabbing Kairi's hands and scurrying in after Leon.

Our most wild character here dropped in to visit, being the girl she was, and frowned down at Riku, "Come on, lover boy, and don't get cocky. Sora isn't here for you to romp, he's Kairi's guest."

He laughed and let her pull him up, "First, it isn't my fault I was born fabulous, you'd understand were you in my place. And second, don't you worry, soon enough that will be what Sora hangs around for." Oh, he hoped. Those damn blue eyes…

The dark-haired woman popped a piece of bubble gum into her mouth, "Riku, darling, I wouldn't want to be you if the only other choice was Billy Idol." She moved ahead, skipping up the stairs as she normally would.

Considering she was Yuffie.

Riku stared after her and narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "But you like Billy Idol, his pictures are all over your car. I've seen it."

Yuffie shrugged, "Yeah, so?" There was something amused about the look on her face, but she was mostly worried about the way her heart was pounding five times faster than usual at the mere thought of Kairi being in the next room over.

He sighed, just shaking his head and stepping up the stairs wearily, only the slightest bit happy because he'd soon be seeing Sora. (alright, freaking everyone in this story is alike) And hopefully in a bed somewhere.

'God, 'Riku', his subconscious began, 'you and you're perverted mind.' He smiled. Well, maybe not in a bed.

(oOo)

"Ms. Kairi", Leon stated coldly as they sat about in the auditorium, "where and who might your other guest be?"

Sora cracked up in the corner, just imagining all of the things that could of cause "the other guest" to run late like this. His girl friend on the other hand just stood and frowned thoughtfully, "Well, he likes to make an entrance, I suppose. Although nothing extravagant like our Riku."

Riku held a smug look on his face, eyes drifting from one person to another, mostly on the current objects of his affections.

-who was trying very hard not to squeak and shout for him to look ANYWHERE else.

The girl owner of 'YL''s partner in crime was just glaring at everyone, his facial expression just daring anyone to bother him. Because god, this was not going as planned. All they could do was sit and do well, nothing until that other guest came, but the asshole whomever he or she was just decided to not show up.

Yuffie was admiring the cuteness that was Kairi, on the other hand. She felt content to just linger.

Suddenly, the front doors to the auditorium burst open to divulge the man from the front desk ushering a tall blonde guy inside. It was the same pretty man from –

Leon's glare increased by 50 degrees or so while Sora jumped up and ran to the surfer-like blonde. He jumped about and began to chatter with his older cousin ten feet away like no tomorrow.

Riku sat now, in a state of mild confusion, "Alright, who is that obviously hated by Leon but hugging my Sora man?"

Said brunette shouted, "CLOOOUUUUUUDDD!" To answer this inquiry albeit not purposely, and bounded at him, tackling him to the ground. Why he had to do this after already talking and bouncing from those ten feet, we may never know. It might be because Sora is just an all around idiot. But we all love him a little too much to say that.

Kairi just smiled with raised red brows, "Jealous of Sora's cousin are we Riku?"

His dark and bemused expression faded, replaced with amusement, "Oh, well, yes. If he gets to touch him like that and have Sora jump on him and the like."

She laughed and stole a glance at the two.

Cloud was ruffling Sora's hair and spouting nonsense, loud and clear as ever, secretly looking at that angry Leon guy. "Sora," The blonde whispered, leaning down low, "why's that creepy guy here?"

His cousin looked startled, "You mean Riku? 'Cause he really shouldn't be here, he's just ugh and stuff – "

"No," Cloud hesitated, "the guy with the longer hair and the leather pants." Okay, so those weren't exactly creepy. Not the way they fit him.

Sora's eyes traveled over to Leon and he shrugged, not really caring, "One of the owners of the group we're going to go around the world with. He's pretty strict, that's all I know."

Mr. Strife jumped and smacked his head, groaning, "I knew it was too good to be true!"

Sora gave him a confused frown.

"Ah, let me explain…"

(oOo)

"What the hell is that blonde idiot doing here?" Leon asked Yuffie in a huffy breath, quite angry at the prospect of hanging around that man for longer than a second. (yet his libido was a okay)

She was smirking inwardly at the fact that her good friend never had these sorts of reactions. He was always rather stoic and into that whole "nonchalant" behavior, ignoring people louder and clumsier than he. Well, pretty much ignoring everyone. Dance students who bothered him, professors who bothered him besides Yuffie the Special, herself.

They had known each other for so long it had become habit to pick up an extra 1/4 of chicken at Boston Market and reaction to say, "Leon/Yuffie and I blah blah blah." A very comfortable relationship to possess. Or rather a cool guy/girl to have beside them.

She merely stuffed a piece of pita bread that she'd been carrying around for god knows how long or what reason in her mouth and gave him a "?" look in reply.

"You mean to say, your little girlfriend chose to bring that – " He pointed at Cloud vigorously, "as her second guest on our little 'learning experience'?"

Yuffie nodded, "I think I like him." She grinned, "He's extra bouncy, like my hair." A hand was lifted to pat this dark, cropped hair she had always had.

"Well, I," He pointed to his chest, "refuse to travel with this…this…thing!"

The shorthaired girl scurried off, "I'm gunna go say hi."

Leon smacked his forehead and let out a long breath. "Think of the fucking anger management classes. Think." (um, no wonder he's stoic?) He took a seat on the lightwood stage, under the bright lights and stared out at the grown horde of people.

The Kairi girl – she would have to do. It was really odd that he hadn't noticed her talent the night of the show that held her more radiant and spectacular than ever when Yuffie had. He prided himself on being able to find skill in even the tiniest of crevices. It looked like someone was out to prove him wrong.

So finally, a bit bored with his thoughts, Leon jumped down from the stage, his eyes drawing a straight line to that gorgeous blonde. "We'll see how well this one can play," He murmured.

Cloud blinked up at him with eyes similar to Sora's as he walked over. In a way, though, those eyes were completely different. Because they were more mature, they seemed like they had seen much, much more. And maybe that was what Riku liked so much about Sora, his childish naivety and innocence and the way he seemed to care more about what others thought than of himself no matter how selfish he claimed to be, just like a boy. But more of a beautiful, grown boy.

The brunette shook his thoughts and gave him a cold stare, "As long as you are traveling with us there shall be: no dillydallying, no running off without permission, no one in others dorms after midnight, ergo no sleepovers, no objections and no horseplay."

By that time Riku, Sora and Kairi seemed to have noticed him speaking and turned to listen.

Cloud frowned, "And?"

Leon glared back, unhappy with how little he was affecting this one, And, I'm pretty sure you'll be the one to break them, seeing as you seem so keen to anger me. Agreeing to come and all." He refrained from giving a haughty sniff and twisted his earrings for distraction.

Cloud's frown grew larger, he pulled Kairi over to his side and whispered, "Why do we have to put up with this guy?"

The redhead gave him an amused smile and eyes Yuffie, "Oh, common Cloud, he's perfectly tolerable." She watched as he grumbled under his breath and flattened out his shirt, self-consciously.

"ALRIGHT!" Yuffie shouted, eyes gleaming with mirth and impatience. "Let's get to the point instead of laying around on our butts and arguing like first graders."

Leon wasn't much bothered.

Sora scratched the back of his head, "Um, Yuffie, is it alright if I call you that?" Receiving a nod he continued, "Yuffie, you were just –"

"No. No I was not. Your eyes were lying to you I was not lazing around. Nuu!" She replied in a singsong voice so no one could tell if she was serious or not. Everyone grew silent before Sora spoke up again, "But Yuffie you just –"

"Quiet Sora. You're interrupting the many processes of the brain. Like relaxing, preparing, imagining yourself as a ballerina and chewing gum."

Sora gaped before giving Kairi a look that said, 'Good luck marrying someone this odd, Kai.' But all in all he did like Yuffie. She was a pull from the norm. Very funny indeed. Not like Riku. He just had to be -

Kairi just sighed at how misunderstood everyone's interests seemed to be.

I apologize a thousand times for the lack of update but I have at least four fanfiction accounts (I know I shouldn't…) and a new fictionpress account and um, everything's gone haywire. Please, please, please say you enjoyed the chapter and tell me any ideas for future happenings/events.

I adore you all!

Oh and…

Yes, that was a Billy Idol song at the top. White Wedding and all that. It's a good song, you should totally check that out – wait don't. I feel like an advertisement. D Um, I changed Leon a bit from his completely impassive nature because it was ruining the chapter. His social skills do still suck, though. And I felt that the hate/love thing was waay to cliché so Sora's already got the hots for Riku and vice versa (of course) it will just take them a while to get there. Yuffie's going to be a little shy since this is only like, her first or second crush/love so be patient. I have a feeling Cloud and Leon will be the last to bonk. What they have is way to little so far.

Hopefully this chapter was enough to satisfy you!
