Chapter 8: Talent show.

Kairi's POV.

Luckily when we woke up, mum wasn't home yet. We didn't get caught or anything so that was cool.

The rest of the month went the same. School, home, eating sleeping, hanging with friends and hanging with Sora. The usual. I'd never been around the school for Christmas last year so now was my year to experience it.

"So, what are we doing this year for talent show Selph?" Namine asked her.

"Don't know. But we need another singer because we always lay it on Yuffie and she wants to do other stuff too."

"Yeah. Hey, wait we got Kai."

"What? Wait! What are you talking about?" I asked, I was so confused.

"Well, at the end of every big tern we have a end of school assembly." Namine started.

"Basically they shove the entire school in the gym for a talk but there's some good stuff. People get prizes but best of all they hold a talent show in school to find performers from every year to perform at the assembly." Selphie said quickly.

"Did you catch that?" Nam asked and raised her eye brow at Selph.

"Just about."

"Well?" They both asked at the same time. I groaned and agreed.

"Wait shouldn't you see if I'm good enough first?"

"Kai, I've heard you! You rock!" Namine said nudging me a little.

We soon met up with the others and Nam told them all about me joining their group. There was such a big group we decided to split into two which worked.

In my group was of course me, Sora, Namine, Selphie, Cloud, Irvine, Yuna, Yuffie, Riku and Tidus.

In the other were Wakka, Rinoa, Leon, Quistis, Seifer, Rikku, Aerith, Paine, Gippal and Nooj.

I did ask Roxas but he said he had no musical talent and would just support us all.

After school we went to Sora's place which was huge! We all set up in the garage, which again was huge!

Sora was on guitar along with Tidus. Namine was a singer. Selphie was on piano or keyboard and had a little mic attached to do some backing vocals. Cloud was on drums. Irvine was on bass. Yuna was a singer, and so was Yuffie. And Riku played another guitar.

For this song it would be and Namine singing and then next talent show or performance it'd be Yuffie and Yuna. They were backing singers for this time.

We chose to sing 'All messed up' by a band called Breaking point.

The week went by and we performed at the talent show. Wakka's group was on before us and we stood in the audience and cheered them on.

They decided to sing something more into R'n'B. They sang 'Like you' by Bow wow and Ciara. They were really good. They got off and we said well done's before it was our turn.

We all took our places and the music started and we began to sing our song.

"I hope I never wake up
I dream about you all the time now
And I don't wanna face
Another night without you here
Someday, someway, somehow
We will be together again
You know I've always wanted
Just to feel the touch of your love
You know I've always hated
Knowing how far apart we are
Someday, someway, somehow
We will be together again
I just want you to know"

I was the first to sing. I was so worried I sounded like a stranggled cat or something.

"Baby I'm all messed up in you
You're far away
But you're here with me
Baby I'm all messed up in you
You're all I need
My everything"

Me and Nam sang together.

"Every night i wake up
Hoping that I'll find you here and
There's not a day that goes by
I don't think about your smile
Someday, someway, somehow
We will be together again
I just want you to know"

Nam was a really good singer. She had such a deep bluesy voice.

"Baby I'm all messed up in you
You're far away
But you're here with me
Baby I'm all messed up in you
You're all I need
My everything"

Again we sang together but this chorus we made slightly more powerful.

"And I know that we will find a way
To be together someday
And I promise you that I won't leave
I'll be here forever"

I have no idea why I was made to sing that part.

"Baby I'm all messed up in you
You're far away
But you're here with me
Baby I'm all messed up in you
You're all I need
My everything"

This was our last chorus.

"I want you
I need you
I'm lost here without you
I'm all messed up in you
I hope i never wake up
I dream about you all the time now."

Was the last thing we sang.

Suddenly the crowd got up and clapped aand yelled praise. I think we were all taken back. They liked us! At least we didn't suck.

We all got off the stage proud of ourself and beagn to walk home. Sora said he was going to walk me.

"You were really good, Kai." He said sweetly as we walked down the street hand in hand.

"So were you!" I said and smiled at him.

"Think we'll win?"

"Maybe."

We soon reached my house and I invited Sora in for a little. It was Friday and we didn't exactly have anything better to do.

We walked in and took our shoes off by the door.

"Mum? Mum you home? Pat?" I called as i walked from the kitchen to the living room and back again.

"Kairi come here." Sora called to me from the kitchen. He held a note addressed to me in his hands. He gave it to me and I began to read it aloud.

"Dear Kairi,

Wehave gone to stay over at your aunts again. We'll be back on Sunday. There is pleanty of food and you can take care of yourself. You know how my rules work so I wont write them. Behave! Call me if you need anything.

Love you,

Mum.

X x x."

I folded the note and threw it in the bin.

"You wanna stay over mine?" Sora asked me.

"Nah, but thanks. Why don't you stay here?"

"Okay. That is if you don't mind."

"Not at all. Hate being here alone. Gives me the creeps."

We watched TV for a little, played some video games, watched a DVD, listened to some music and then went to bed.

Mum wasnt going to be back until Sunday so we just slept in the same bed. (A/N: No dirty thoughts!)

I clammered under the thivk warm quilt and snuggled up next to Sora. He wrapped his arm around me and I simply moved closer. He felt so warm. I rested my hand on his chest as i slowly breathed in the sweet smeel of him.

"Night Kairi." A muffled voice of Sora said to me.

"Night."

Sora's POV.

I lazily opened my eyes. It tool me a few seconds to register that I was at Kairi's.

I looked down at the sleeping figure that's hadnt moved from my arms. She looked so peaceful, just sleeping in my arms.

I felt like the luckiest man in the world or that christmas had come early. I loved her, she knew, I knew. There was no figting it and I didn't want to fight it either.

I lightly swept the strands of hair that covered her face away from her face and stroked it with my hand. I had never felt skin so soft and warm.

Her beautiful violet eyes fluttered open. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Morning." She said sleepily.

"Morning."

"Sleep well?"

"Never slept better. You?"

"The same."

We stayed in bed for about 10 minuets just looking at each other before decided it may be a good idea to get up.

Kk I know its kinda like the last chap but like I've said before t has to be put in. Please R&R.
