I so hate when I upload the story and then all the paragraphs are bunched together. Grrr... so if any of the paragraphs are like... not paragraphs or something blame it on the site and my horrible ablility to find where the paragraph marks were.
So, I have been ona rampage of uploads haven't I?Strange thing as to how the Disney man can inspire me.

Warning: Uhm... none this chapter, except for... well I can't say that or it will spoil it huh?
I felt my mind start to ease out of the darkness of sleep, but I didn't want to open my eyes just yet. Not when I felt snug and warm next to Riku.
Oh.
My hands instantly went to my chest and then patted down the rest of my body. Okay, so I still have my clothes. I felt his breath across the back of my neck as he securely had his arm around me. Maybe I can pretend to sleep some more and then I'll have an excuse for staying in the bed with him.
"Riku! Sora! Breakfast is ready!" Nina's piercing shriek from down the stairs brought my mind fully to reality as my eyes shot open and I groaned. I don't want to go to school...maybe they will let me stay home and bake cookies with Sephiroth.
"Mmm..." Riku's head went down to my neck where he started to breath in through his nose and he sighed. "I'm not hungry for food..." I felt his warm hand start to slid up under my sweatshirt and I jumped off his bed in a rush and tripped over nothing and fell on my face.
"Well, uh, I'm hungry for some bacon!" I flew up from where I had landed on the floor and started to swiftly walk out of the room.
When I got to the breakfast table, Nina was sitting at the table chatting to Cloud and Leon, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was really talking to herself. I sat down in one of the chairs across of Cloud as he slowly ate his eggs and hash browns. Hmm... Cloud eating slowly...and looking half asleep... I looked towards Leon who seemed unusually bright this morning and was eating a lot more then I have ever seen him eat.
"Sora, honey, some bacon?" Nina smiled warmly at me and I nodded my head as she put what I believed to be 5 pounds of bacon on my plate. I think that I should come over for breakfast more often. She put the plate back down and then turned to Cloud and Leon. "Before you leave for school, put your sheets in the washing machine, please. I already put fresh ones up in your room so you can make your bed." She giggled and then went over to pile some bacon on Riku's plate. I rose an eyebrow at Cloud who had turned a bright red color and was now trying to look at everything but me. Leon snickered at him and I was pretty sure something had happened last night. Now the part that disturbed me was, how did Nina know?
After I finished downing all the bacon I could eat, I went back upstairs to find my bag that had my new clothes in it.
"Looking for this?" I turned around from staring at the evil stuffed animal room, hoping I wouldn't have to go in there, I saw Riku holding my carrying bag. I smiled and walked towards him, expecting him to hand it to me. Of course it seemed that Riku wanted some kind of payment for finding my bag. Leading me to being pushed against the wall melting under Riku's lips.
"Stop fondling each other or you'll be late for school!" Nina called from up the stairs making me remember what I had wanted to get from Riku and grabbed the bag from his hand and was about to run away fast enough to get to an empty room and closed the door behind me before Riku caught me.
When we got to school, I shoved my carrying bag in my locker along with the stitched up version of my outfit that I was wearing the other day. Today, I had chosen the yellow outfit Nina had made for me.
"Hey Sora!" I turned around to see Namine waving at me from down the hall. I smiled and waved back at her as she approached me.
"How was your sleep over?" She asked and picked up the books I had on the floor and handed them to me.
"Great. How was yours?" I asked, trying to avoid telling her that I had made out with Riku in his shower.
"Oh it was good too. I taught Selphie how to not blow up her oven." She laughed and Selphie came over and stuck her tongue out at her.
"Hey! At least my cookies didn't taste like cardboard!" She protested and earned an angry look from Kairi who was just about to join our group. Kairi opened her mouth to say something to Selphie but then raised an eyebrow at me.
"What's that on your neck?" She pointed and the two other girls tilted their head to see what she was talking about. What about my neck? Wait... memory... coming back...
"N-nothing!" I clasped my hand over my neck and then felt two arms snake around my waist. I titled my head up to see two beautiful eyes looking down at me with a smirk and then Riku looked at Kairi.
"Nothing you need to worry your little mind about, Kairi." I heard the vicious undertone dripping from her name as Kairi narrowed her eyes at him. Selphie giggled and then screamed and pranced over to glomp Tidus who unsuspectingly fell over. That poor boy, I don't see how he's able to keep up with Selphie between her normal behavior and her dangerous sugar rushes. Kairi opened her mouth to retort but Namine interjected.
"Let's head to first class shall we?" She smiled and grabbed Kairi's arm and started to usher her down the hall. Yes, Namine the savior has once again stopped a glaring battle between Kairi and Riku.
There was nothing of importance that happened that day at school. Besides the hallways happening to be empty when both me and Riku were out of our classes. But that didn't bother me, oh no, being pushed against lockers by my silver haired hottie was alright by me. Unfortunately we didn't have gym together that day, otherwise something very fun might have happened in the locker rooms.
But when I got home, I was faced with a problem. I had forgotten that tomorrow was Valentine's Day, and I'm pretty sure that I should get Riku something. Anything at all. So being the idiot I was I decided to venture out to the mall to buy something for Riku. Ironically, the thing I bought him was the necklace I had wanted for as long as I could remember. It was a little silver crown attached to a silver chain. Even though I would have loved to keep it, it was for Riku. And what better gift is there then to give something you like?
That night I wasn't able to get to sleep, 1) because I was so nervous about tomorrow and 2) I had a recurring dream that I was making cookies with Sephiroth and then Kairi came and destroyed all the cookies, cackled, and then kidnap the pet snake at the orphanage. Really weird.
All right, it's 5:30 I can get up now right? I quickly sat up in bed and started out on my journey of looking absolutely perfect today. Why? I really didn't know, I just had butterflies in my stomach and I felt like I was floating. After much consideration, I got frustrated with trying to chose an outfit and too a shower. I sat on the foot stool in my towel around my waist staring into the mirror. Suddenly I saw one of the younger girls standing in her oversized nightgown holding her teddy bear, watching me.
"Whatcha doing Sowa?" She asked with a yawn.
"Getting ready for today." I said and sighed, wondering if I looked okay. You can never tell with mirrors, they could be evil and lie. There was an evil mirror in Snow White, so there is a possibility that the mirror in my house was evil too.
"Oh, Valentine's Day." She suddenly seemed more awake. I stared at her grin as she scampered off down the hall. I sighed and went back to wondering if it mattered what I wore today. I'm sure it wouldn't... would it?
"Sowaaa..." I turned around to see the gathering of the group that I had beforehand proclaimed the yaoi fan club. I see that they are planning something, and I'm pretty sure it's about me. "We'll help you look nice for Wiku." I blinked and then realized she was talking about Riku.
"Uh, no that's not really-" but before I was able to finish my sentence, I was attacked. Once they get you, there is no escape from the obsessive girls who dragged me, literally, back to my room, woke up the two other boys and ushered them out of the room so they could start to experiment- I mean help me.
After much fuss over what color looked best on me, which took about an hour, they finally decided to accessorize me. I did have a hole in my right ear for an earring that I never wore, but they decided to change it. After trying to vain to stop about 6 of them from going to the nearest jewelry store to spend their money on a pair of earrings for me,I was viciously told that if I do not look as nice as they envisioned it because I didn't corporate with them, I would face serious consequences. Shocked at the fact that they could use bigger words then I did, they were somehow able to get me dressed in the white version of the outfit I got from Nina. Then I was dragged to the bathroom and they chased everyone away from it. They even set up a parameter so that if anyone came by they could stop them before the girls were interrupted. They pulled out there make up case, that I didn't know that had, and they started to bicker about what they should use. Maybe I can escape now... I slowly started to try to raise from my seat to escape through the door but then they all shot me these... indescribable looks of evil that I had to sit back down in fear of my life.
The girls that left to buy me the earring came back with a sterling silver earring that strangely had the same type of crown I bought for Riku's necklace. After practically re piercing my ear to get it in, they all started to giggle and squeal. I raised an eyebrow but then they demanded that I not move my eyes. Fearing for my well being, I complied and stayed perfectly still as they picked up a black pencil and brought it to my eyes. Although I was very interested in knowing what going on, I didn't ask because I knew that I would be shunned for interrupting them.
"Girls! Breakfast is ready! If you don't come down soon, it'll get cold!" Delilah yelled up the stairs.
"We'll be right there!" They chorused back and finally retreated from my body. I have my personal space again! Yes! I looked into the mirror in the bathroom and actually thought they had done a pretty good job. They had blow dried my hair so that it looked a bit more fluffy then normal and the spikes looked better. The earring looked actually nice and I saw that they had put a thin line of black eye liner on me.
"Wow, thanks." I said astonished and they replied in a series of giggles and 'you're welcome.'
"Sora?" Delilah called up the stairs. "School starts in half an hour. Get your butt down here so you can get your breakfast and eat it on the way!" I realized that she was right and thanked the girls again and ran down the stairs, grabbed three waffles and opened the front door while swinging my bag over my back.
"Sora!" I turned around and rolled my eyes.
"What is it?" Delilah appeared in the hallway from out of the kitchen.
"Good luck!" She winked and gave me a thumbs up. God, did everyone know? I waved my hand in acknowledgement and ran out the door.
I could feel that it was going to be a good day.
As I was running towards the block of my school, I felt someone grab me from behind. I squealed and turned around quickly and bit whoever it was on the shoulder.
"Sora?" I looked up to see Riku's shocked and puzzled face. Oh...oops.
"Eheh...sorry Riku." I laughed nervously and removed my mouth from him shoulder. I looked him over quickly, simply breath taking as usual.
"You look rather nice today." He grinned and placed a light kiss on my lips.
"Yeah, well I got some help from the crazy people." I answered and then started to go through my book bag.
"I have something for you!" I smiled and pulled out what I thought was the box to his present.
"A pencil case?" Riku raised an eyebrow at me.
"Uh... no. Wait let me find it." I started to search through my bag and then finally when i got to the bottom of it I realized that I never took it.
"Shit." I said and frowned. "I left it at home." I looked up at Riku, expecting him to be a little annoyed at my forgetfulness. "I'm sorry." He ruffled my hair a bit and smiled.
"It's okay, I'll just walk home with you after school to get it." I felt so much better when he smiled at me I relaxed and smiled back. "Your gift is in my locker already. Why don't you go to school now and I'll meet you at lunch because I have to get something for my mom at the store first."
"Won't you be late?" I asked.
"My dad gave me a note saying that I was very sick last night and he wasn't sure if he wanted to send me to school until he had called in a doctor this morning." Well, that sounds convincing, I wish I would get a note like that.
"Okay, I'll see you there!" I grinned at him. He leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips before going down the street to the store. I felt like I was in a cloudy haze as I watched him perfectly run down the street. Then it was killed by my thought of having to go to class.
"Hey Sora..." I snapped out of my daydream to see Namine looking worriedly at me. I tilted my head at her nodded my head. "Did you see..." Her eyes were starting to dart around quickly and she was tugging at the edge of her long sleeve shirt.
"What is it, Namine?" I asked, wanting to make sure she was feeling alright.
"Did you see it?" I blinked in confusion at her. See what? "The school newspaper..." My eyes narrowed in annoyance. If there was something in the newspaper that was getting Namine upset, it was written my Kairi. That didn't make me happy.
"No. Let me see it. Do you have it?" I asked quickly and Namine nodded her head slowly before reaching into her bag to reveal today's newspaper. I stared in shock seeing that the headline didn't have anything to do with her.
New Student a Stud Muffin? You Bet, and More.
I quickly grabbed the paper from Namine, a bit too quickly as Namine shied back at my anger and I started to read the article. Kairi definitely wasn't meeting my standards of best friend at the moment.
"I'll be right back." I said to Namine and rolled up the paper and stalked out of the room to Kairi's homeroom, not caring that I was going to be marked absent for class.
"Kairi!" I slammed her homeroom door open, earning a glare from the teacher but I didn't care. The redhead looked up from her desk and smiled at me.
"What is it, Sora?" She said in her sweet tone that made me sick.
"You know what it fucking is, Kairi." I growled and all the students in the room suddenly stopped their conversations to stare at me. What? This doesn't concern them. I glared at them all and then set a hard look on Kairi.
"Excuse me," she said politely to the teacher and stood up from her desk. She walked out of the room and I followed her into the hallway.
"What the fucking hell is this?" I waved the paper in front of her hands. "Who gave you the right to write that Riku slept with everyone in his last school?" I stepped closer to her and felt my face start to heat of from my anger. What the hell was her problem? Was she that pissed off that I was Riku's that she had to go and create this piece of bullshit to ruin him?
"It's my newspaper, Sora." She narrowed her eyes at me. "This isn't a joke. If you read the article I got information from students in his old school that he went out with someone new every month." My mouth gaped at her and I shut it firmly. No. She was lying. They were lying.
"If you don't believe me about that, I got proof that he was just going to use you." She reached into her pocket where a tape recorder was held. "I recorded our conversations because I knew that he would spill the truth in them." She pressed the play button, and no matter how much I didn't want to listen, I didn't shut my ears.
"Is it that or do you want to get in his pants?" I heard Kairi's voice crackled over the recorder.
"You figured it out?" I heard Riku's laugh loud and clear through it. Kairi stopped the tape recorder.
"That's a lie." I hissed through my clenched jaw.
"Then what about this one?" she asked and fast forwarded the tape a bit and then hit play.
"I won't let you use him." Kairi voice crackled over the tape again.
"For what?" Riku asked.
"For your... sex toy!" She shouted at Riku.
"Well...That was what I was planning on-" Kairi stopped the tape recorder again. I stared long and hard at her.
"That's a lie. You made that up." I said and balled my fists.
"How could I have gotten Riku's voice on it if I made it up?" She asked. She did have a point. I stared at her blankly, not believing her.
"You're lying. You are, you have to." My voice started to crack and I felt my throat go dry.
"Why would I?" Kairi answered sternly. She sounded so convincing. Like she was telling the truth. Why wouldn't she tell the truth, she's my best friend after all...
"I'm sorry, Sora." She said and I felt the tears start to well up behind my eyes. I tightened my fists harder that my short nails were starting to dig into my skin. She went to place her hand on my shoulder but I jerked back, and stared at her through teary eyes. I wiped my eyes with the back of my arm and ran out of the school.
"Hey, Sora." I heard his voice from behind me as I was curled up on the bench in front of the school.
"Don't talk to me." I growled and sniffled.
"Sora?" I could sense that he was going to put his hand on my shoulder so I jerk away and stumbled to stand up. I turned to face him and he looked at me with worry.
"Don't try to make it look like you're worried, you bastard!" I threw the newspaper that I had been holding the whole day. I knew I must looked like a mess, but I didn't care. All I cared about was tell that son of a bitch to leave me alone.
"What's wrong Sora?" He said in a serious tone and then he looked at the school paper. Yeah, see that? Kairi found you out for me. He looked up at me again. "Sora..."
"Don't 'Sora' me! I know what the hell you were up to!" I shouted and started to move my arms around frantically as I felt my eyes get teary again.
"Sora. Let me explain. It's not like that, not at all." He said again in a serious voice. For a split second I thought that maybe, just maybe, he was telling the truth. But I got rid of that though instantly, I had only known him for what? Barely a week and I had known Kairi all my life. She wouldn't lie to me, she cares. I hardly knew anything about Riku, hell I didn't even know his birthday or favorite color.
"Yes it is! I know it!" I could barely see anything clear now with my blurred vision and I started to stomp away from him but he grabbed my hand. I jerked it out of his and glared at him.
"Don't touch me, bastard." I snarled at him and continued on my way, wiping the tears away from my eyes as I ran away from him.
"Sora, are you okay?" Namine sat next to me on the bench in front of the school. I watched as the other students started on their way home, perfectly happy with their lives. How stupid they were to believe it was perfect.
"Yeah." I said and she tried to look me in the eyes but I looked away from her. She sighed and looked in front of us.
"Sora, I'm sorry. I didn't think Kairi was telling the truth to begin with." Namine said and started to swing her legs.
"I didn't think so either." I sighed and put my head in my hands. I couldn't think straight, there were just too many thoughts flying around my head and they all were about that bastard. I felt a hand on mine and I looked up to see Namine smiling at me.
"I know what might make you feel better." I halfheartedly rose an eyebrow in wonder at what she was talking about. "Let's go get some pizza. It's on me." I don't really think that would get my mind off of my problem at hand, but I can never pass up free food. I nodded and she continued to beam brightly at me.
"Great! But first, I think you should wash your face a bit. You smudged all your eyeliner." she giggled a little and I nodded.
When I was coming back from the bathroom, I stopped in the middle of the doorway staring at who Namine was in heated conversation with. Riku was talking very quickly and looked stressed and Namine was just slowly nodding her head. I don't know what made me do it, but I stomped over to them and pushed Riku and glared at him.
"What do you want?" I snarled and crossed my arms. He looked at me in shock, heh.
"Sora! I was talking to Namine about something." He answered, his eyes were pleading with me to let him continue but I just looked around him.
"Well I don't want you talking to her." I narrowed my eyes.
"What, you have no right to say who Namine can and can't talk to. It's not like you're going out with her or something." He shot back and waved his arm across his body.
"Well what if I am, huh!" I shouted back without thinking and silence followed. Namine's eyes had gone wide and Riku's mouth gapped open as he tried to form words in his mouth. He closed his eyes shut and then opened them again glaring at me furiously.
"Who's the real asshole now, Sora?" He yelled at me and then turned around and ran off down the block. I stared after him in surprise; I didn't expect him to yell at me. My mouth hung open a bit and then I clenched it shut as I noticed Namine with a startled expression next time me. Was she okay? I opened my mouth again to say something but she cut me off.
"Were you serious?" She asked quietly. I thought about what she meant and then realized it was what I said about being her boyfriend. I couldn't say no, that would be extremely rude and probably make her hate me forever. I couldn't say yes, because no matter how much of a friend she was to me, I knew I didn't like her the way I had liked Riku. Nothing could be like that. I looked nervously at her, trying to come up with an answer that wouldn't hurt either one of us.
"Well, let's go get something to eat then!" She smiled at me and grabbed my hand. I got startled and pulled my hand away, only to earn a wave of guilt fall over me. I grabbed her hand and smiled back.
"Sorry," I saw an expression I couldn't recognize flash across her face before she smiled at me again. "Let's go get some pizza now, my treat."
So do you all get the reason as to why Kairi kept confronting Riku now? Hehe, see, I wasn't just writing that for no reason. :D And you all must think Riku is horrible and evil now right? Or not, well if you do, you should know by now that Kairi is practically the evil person in this story, so she did some manipulating of facts...maybe. Besides, Sora was too pissed off to see waht Riku's side of it was, wasn't he?So for all you know, everything Kairi wrote could have been a lie! (gasp.)
Aha! Surprised by Sora reaction to Namine? It appears as though they might get together for some more conflict in my story. And don't say that I said that Sora was gay, cause I didn't. Sora said in the beginning, I quote "I know I'm not straight, but he could turn a straight man gay! Or bi - take your pick." So hmm... is Sora really bi?
Hehe, well, to find out the answers to that question, and uh...more? you'll have to wait 'till my next update :D
'Till then, REVIEW LIKE YOU'VE NEVER REVIEWED BEFORE. Or Sephiroth will bake you into one of his bakes. Hehe. :P Just joking, but serious, review. :D
