Jaguira...Yes I do admit Sephy used to give me trouble ..but now I think I'm getting into this love triangle XD. And now that I think about it ..Sephiroth and Lulu DO make a good couple! And don't worry ..it's gonna be explained (possibly in the next chapter ..if it fits) Oh my...XD please don't say you read "When you walk away"..I swear that was my first fan fic and ..oh gosh. And thank you in general ..:D I love these types of reviews.
ChoraXD Thank you. And oh my...I can't stand writing original characters (except for mom's and if there's a reason. I just don't want to put a random dude name Jim in their class you know?). Reading them is okay but yeah...Wait ..is that what you even meant XD ha ha I'm really out of it. And oh my send me the fan art! I miss Niwa also :( but I can't think of a chance to put Riri's House in without upsetting the story.
carbuncle x3...Starting school late is sort of fun but it also sucks because now I'm getting out June 9th instead of the end of may (schedule changed around my school district). Hmmm I thought it would be obvious (you know ..how he was treating her like she was stupid after their fight?). Yes'm about the private thing and I thought it would be the natural thing for a girl to do (like when you cry at school you just want to hide in a stall and die ..that sort of thing).
Openly Oblivion...You are the first one who noticed! Yes...I copied Niwa's name from Daisuke's last name from DNAngel. And that's pretty sweet...and if you'll IM me on R1ku1sah0tt13 I'll give you the link to my xanga (unless you want to use the live journal from my profile) and if you scroll through the entries you can see me and some of my cosplay). Tidus and Namine would make a cute couple now that I think about it. Maybe I'll write something about them for my next story (I don't like Namine and Riku fics !). Your giving me such good ideas! Remind me to make you the co-host of my disclaimers (it's the least I can do). XD Man you are ubberly cool.
Casey...Yeah...poor Cloud...so misunderstood. And don't worry...we all hate Hillary Duff...XD ..and I never said that.
CHAPTER 18
VIVA LAS VEGAS: (DAY 3) LUXOR
(Started: August 27th Ended: September 21st) VIVA LAS VEGAS: (DAY 3) LUXOR
The entire class stopped and dropped what they were doing and faced the fighting teens. Sora's entire body was red from anger and grinding his teeth together seemed to be the only way of holding him back from killing Cloud. And then there was Cloud. His hand was holding onto his bleeding jaw and his face screamed shock. "What the hell is your problem Gainsborough?" Cloud referred to Sora by his last name by yelling. He wiped the blood from his bleeding wound and glared at Sora.
"You," Sora yelled in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. "What is with you and your cocky attitude?"
"What the hell are you talking about!" The slightly older blonde yelled once more. Then began the ping-pong battle of wits.
"Aerith," Sora breathed and calmed down slightly. But he still held onto that anger. "You hurt my sister."
"I didn't lay a finger on Aerith," Cloud groaned in frustration. Point one for Cloud.
"Don't play smart with me," Sora verbally spat at Cloud. "Since the moment we got on the airplane you've been treating my sister like dirt! Like when she was perfectly ignoring you she-"
"It's her fault!" Cloud interrupted. He tried to explain himself but frustration got in the way. "That's the point. She was ignoring me and acting like a complete-"
"She wasn't trying to start anything!" Sora told him, completely shooting him down. Point for Sora. "That's why she was ignoring you! Because she still considers you her friend. She didn't want to hurt you!" Sora finally told him. Another point for the brunette. "Which is the exact opposite of what you did. You called her mean names and treated her like she was a stupid toddler. And now she's crying her eyes out in the bathroom." 'Oh snap' point for Sora.
Cloud remained silent. Minus a point for Cloud. One point for Sora.
"You were acting childish!" Sora continued to rant, ignoring Cloud's awkward silence. "How could you treat someone who you claimed you used to love so poorly?"
"Sora-" Kairi whispered loudly as the chatter of the unknowing students began to rise. No one knew the story of the two and the red head didn't think Aerith would want everyone to know. She looked over at Cloud but she couldn't read his facial expression. His face was pointed at the floor which casted a shadow across the young man's face.
"Come on," A familiar voice said from behind them. They turned around to see Aerith smiling and clapping her hands for attention. "Stop fighting or I'll have to call your mothers."
"But your my sister!" Sora exclaimed in a shocked voice. "You wouldn't-"
"Try me," Aerith glared at her brother. Minus one point for Sora and One point for Aerith. Kairi took the moment to see if anything was wrong with her. And there was. Her eyes looked like they were injected with the pink eye virus. Anyone with half a brain could tell that she had been crying her heart out just a few moments ago. "Mr. Yoshizawa...I think this would be a good moment for it to call it a night."
"Hai," Riku nodded in sympathy. He did a simple gesture of his wrist to gather to students together again as if he were a Shepard gathering his sheep. "Come students. We are off to dream land!"
"Can we stop off at the condo?" questioned Selphie as she strutted next to the silver haired teacher. "I got to change into my PJs and brush my teeth first."
Riku slightly laughed as a tone of awkwardness fell over the crowd. "Suuuuuure Selphie," he slurred as he patted her on the head like a puppy. "Suuuuuure."
Kairi woke up the next morning to loud yelling and cheering. She rubbed her lazy eyes with her tired fist. The girl let out a yawn and looked around the room.
"Where did Lulu and Selphie go?" she asked in a dull, yawning voice. Another cheer came from downstairs. "What the hell is going on?"
She put on her kimono style bath robe and slippers and headed downstairs. When she did she saw a rather particular site. Everyone was gathered around the pool table like fan girls storming their favorite rock stars dressing room. Kairi yawned, raised her eye brow, and headed over to them.
"What the muffin's is going on?" she asked in a small voice. Everyone turned around to her and shushed her.
"Quiet Kairi-kama!" Selphie quietly told her.
'...kama?' she silently giggled in her head. "Why do I have to-"
"You are really pathetic, you know that?" A dark voice said from the kitchen. Kairi and the rest of the group turned towards the direction of the voice. Sephiroth was sitting on a counter glaring down at Wakka. "I mean really pathetic. It's obvious you like her but did you really have to go to these extremes?"
"What is he talking about?" Tidus asked in a whisper. He pushed himself towards the front of the group so that he could talk a good look at his friend. When he did, his jaw dropped and his eyes grew. "Oh my-"
"Let me see!" Selphie exclaimed as she pushed Tidus's head down so she could see above it. Her reaction was the same as Tidus. "WAKKA! YOUR HAIR!"
Kairi was confused. Very confused. Here she was having a peaceful dream about Jesus being the ultimate pokemon and she was rudely awakened by this noise. Then everyone told her to be quiet when they obviously weren't doing the same. Now she can't see over Cloud's spiky-ass hair to see what was wrong with Wakka!
"Out of the way," Kairi finally decided to push through. She stepped up to the front and also gasped at Wakka's appearance. "What the hell..." she mumbled. "Why did you dye your hair!"
Now every student was trying to push their way to the front to see the 'new' Wakka. He was kneeling on the ground before Sephiroth wearing nothing but black. Yes, that included his hair. He dyed his pretty red locks to black.
"Sephiroth," Wakka chuckled in a non-cheerful way. "Don't you know? Black is my favorite color."
Sephiroth only smirked. "Don't quit your day job."
"Why you-" Wakka's temper got in the way as he stood up ready to attack.
"Fight, fight, fight," Sora softly chanted.
"Don't be stupid," Kairi whispered to Sora. "They aren't going to-"
"FIGHT!" Selphie cheered loudly as she stood up on the nearest chair. "FIGHT, FIGHT!" Soon everyone, except Kairi, were chanted the cheers of the tatakai.
"You hear the fans!" Sephiroth bellowed as he jumped off his 'throne'. "They want a fight."
"Look man," Wakka cried in his natural foreign accent. "I'm not fighting anyone."
"Wuss," laughed Lulu from the crowd. Wakka let out a nervous whimper and a blush. He then decided that staring at his feet would be a better way to spend his time
"No Lulu," Sephiroth said, stopping the tatakai cheers instantly. "He's right. I would never say this usually but we can't fight each other. Not only would we get in trouble, we would probably be sent home too."
"Exactly," Wakka smiled, staring back at Sephiroth.
"And besides," Sephiroth once again evilly smirked. "I'd kick his ass anyways."
"Why you-" Wakka hissed as he grinded his teeth together and made his hand into a firm fist.
"Now, now boys!" giggled Aerith with a tired tone in her morning voice. "No fighting. I know you wouldn't want your parents to pay extra money to send you home."
"This trip was free though," Sora whispered to his sister.
"Yes," Aerith nodded. "But if they have to get sent home earlier they have to buy an extra plane ticket." She clapped her giddy hands together and put on her cheerful face. "How about we make an alternative?"
"An alternative?" Sephiroth and Wakka questioned in unison. They glared at each other for a moment before setting their attention back on Aerith.
"Yes," Aerith nodded once more. "Liiiiiiike," she slurred as she started gazing around the room for an idea. Then suddenly it came to her. "A pool off!"
"A pool off?" the classmates asked the older brunette in unison.
"Yes!" Aerith smiled with a flip of her hair. Everyone still gave her confused looks. "I'll explain. Two people, meaning Wakka and Sephiroth, will play pool instead of arguing. I would suggest DDR instead but I don't have the face right now to travel down to the strip."
"---No Sora...Bad...stop thinking naughty thoughts," Aerith glared as she went over to the pool sticks. "Now whoever wins is the official winner of whatever you were arguing over." She shoved a stick to each of them without seeing what their answers were. "Have fun you two!"
"Oh I will," Sephiroth chuckled evilly as he stroked his pool stick. "I will."
"YOUR ON BUNNY HEAD!" Wakka screamed as his eyes filled with a fiery anger. Aerith gulped and set up the balls on the pool table. Then she stepped back as the two opponents went to the opposite side of the green table and stared each other down.
"You go first," smirked the silver hair gothic teen as he went down to sit in a chair, his new 'throne'.
"Fine with me," Wakka angrily said as he lined his stick up with the cue ball. He then thrust the end of the pointy pool stick towards the pure white ball. The ball then collided with all the other rainbow colored spheres. And then a few balls fell into the six holes. Wakka smirked.
"SEE SEPHY!" Wakka gloated while using Sephiroth's hated nick name. Sephiroth twitched while listening to the now black haired boy. "I got the black ball in on the first try," he winked towards Lulu. "Black...oh that reminds me of a poem."
"Oh boy," Kairi sighed as she slapped her head. "Here we go..."
And in a short while (of five minutes) Sephiroth won the game, leaving Wakka to sulk. Lulu gave a congrats kiss to her boyfriend. "Wow Wakka," Sephiroth spat at him. "You really are pathetic."
"That's enough," Riku suddenly stepped in all of a sudden. "We are leaving for the strip early tonight...stop with thoughs looks Sora. I will call your mother. Any who," he set his gaze upon his students and clapped his steady hands. "I want you all to shower and get ready. We have a big day planned!"
"Where are we going?" Selphie asked her sensei as she clinged to his arm.
"Baka," Kairi whispered as she sent Selphie psychic waves to stop. Did she want everyone to find out?
"The Luxor!" Riku exclaimed with a large smile. "I'll explain more once everyone is ready."
"Yes Mr. Yoshizawa," the students cried in unison. Then they all hurried upstairs to get ready for the day ahead of them.
"Here we are!" Mr. Yoshizawa, the silver hair teacher, explained as they all gathered out of their rental car. "The Luxor hotel!"
"Whoa!" exclaimed the young boy, Tidus. "It's a black pyramid!"
"Awesome," smiled Kairi as she glanced over at Sora among the crowd of students. She let her heart sigh happily and then went back to looked at the Las Vegas hotel.
"Yes," nodded the brunette, Aerith. "And this is only during the day! It's stands out more at night because that," she pointed to the top of the pyramid. "Lights up at night! And the spynx," she pointed in the opposite direction. "Has these lights shining on it. It's rather nifty!"
"Yes but since it's day," Sora yawned while checking his watch casually. "Can we go inside? It looks," he started mimicking Aerith. "Rather boring...m'yessss."
Aerith glared at Sora before she realize that he had a point. "Sounds fair. We're gonna first just look around the hotel briefly while going down to the buffet-"
"Which is wonderful by the way-" Cloud interrupted. "One day I went down to Las Vegas to visit my fathers old friend and we went and ate their and-"
"Don't interrupt your senpai!" Aerith slightly glared at the blonde.
"I don't consider you my senpai," Cloud mumbled quietly his breath as he began to sigh and follow her orders. Luckily for him, she didn't hear.
"Come Oshi!" she nick named her Japanese underlings. "Let us be amazed by the Luxor Hotel!" (A/N: Oshi is short for Oshiego...which means student).
"Damn," Lulu mumbled just loud enough for Kairi to hear. "What a bitch. Just because she's a little older then us makes her think she's all that?" (A/N: But Oshi alone means authority or something like that...so Lulu thought she was saying "I'm in charge! So follow me!")
"What can you expect from the voice actor of Hijiki?" Sephiroth whispered to Lulu, again, just loud enough for Kairi to over hear. "People do develop like their characters over time."
'That's not true' Kairi argued silently in her head. 'I know Hijiki was kind of a bitch but it was an animated cartoon. And not all people develop from the characters they play. I act too and I've played stuff from "The good witch of the north" to the evil dwarf from mugen! It doesn't effect you.' Kairi sighed as the class entered the Egyptian paradise. 'Aerith has also been stressed lately. With her mother sick, watching over some kids she doesn't know, and the whole Cloud thing. If it were me I'd be pouncing at their necks!'
"And welcome tooooo-," Riku exaggerated as if he were a tour guide. "The Luxor hotel!"
Kairi snapped back to reality to gaze over the hotel. Everything in Vegas seemed to drop the students jaws. It looked like they were about to enter a very rich and fancy kings pyramid. Golden statues of kings, palm trees, and fountains seemed to frame the square marble entrance. It truly looked like they were in Egypt. Beautiful only began to describe it.
"I've actually been to Egypt before and-" Cloud began to inform everyone.
"Okay Oshiego's," Aerith brightly smiled. "We're gonna slowly tour the area while we stop by the buffet. After we eat we're going to split up into groups and just hang around the hotel until the show starts. How does that sound for everyone?"
"Su-pa!" Selphie bounced around while staring at the scenery.
"Alright!" Kairi laughed excitingly as she went up with Aerith to lead the group. "Let's go!"
"Ara mai!" Riku yelled out loud as they left the buffet. He rubbed his stomach and completely left his teacher like attitude. "That was a glorious meal."
"Hai," Sora nodded in agreement. "I swear that they had every food ever there."
"Oh I know!" Kairi exclaimed as she walked up next to Sora. "I loved the popcorn shrimp."
"I liked my brownie!" Selphie exclaimed as well as she walked up next to the group. "It had soooo much powered sugar on it-"
"Selphie had sugar?" Tidus laughed as he joined the group of four. "God save us all."
"Alright," Aerith laughed at her brother and his friends behavior. "Now that we're fueled for the day.. I would like to ask what would everyone like to do! Let's start with you Sora."
The brunette boy shrugged and coolly let his hands slide into his pockets. "I don't know. I may just go make a phone call."
Aerith gave Sora a sympathetic look and nodded. "I understand. What about you Kairi?"
'What's going on?' Kairi thought for a brief moment as she looked Aerith in the eye. "I'm gonna try to buy a gift for my mom."
"Sounds good," Riku interrupted Aerith. "How about you Selphie? Tidus?"
"I wanna go swimming!" Selphie and Tidus exclaimed in unison. They looked at each other and started laughing.
"And I will be going with the crazy couple over here," Mr. Yoshizawa laughed along as he started messing up both of their hair.
"I'll just tour the hotel," Cloud said quietly when he decided that staring at his shoes would be more interesting then talking to Aerith face to face.
"Same," the rest of the group said in unison (with the after taste of awkwardness!).
"Okay," Aerith nodded as she wrote something on a piece of paper. "I want you all to meet back here at 5:30. No more, no less. Alright?"
"Alright," the class answered as they spread out to do their own thing.
"Dear Ninja-like Diary," Kairi spoke out loud as she peered out from behind a King Tut statue. "Aerith said for the next whatever hours we could do whatever I want. Me? I said I was going to buy a gift for my mom. Done with that in five minutes. What am I doing now?" She went back to behind the statue for fear of her ninja-ness being seen. "I'm going to spy on what everyone else is doing!"
The crimson hair girl jumped out from behind the statue to start her mission. Humming the mission impossible song seemed to be her theme way of moving to statue to statue. And soon Kairi was near the pool area.
"Dear Ninja-like Diary: Entry two," Kairi said perfectly out loud with out her own knowing. "I am now at the pool area," she spoke as she crotched down behind a lawn chair a rather large sun burnt man sat in. "Now, Tidus and the two secret lovers are at this area. My goal of this entry is to find them and collect data on what they are doing."
"Vincent!" A hyper blonde girl bounced up and down. The ninja (Kairi) turned around to see the huss was about. A girl with two blonde braids attached to her lovely young head was starring as something in the pool. "Look at that really cute guy!"
"Cute?" A light brunette blushed with a shy smile on her face. "He's gorgeous!"
"Yuna, Rikku," a man with even longer hair then Riku sighed. He brushed his raven hair out of his pale face. "I told you many times before that I am not gay."
"Yes," Rikku nodded, still staring at the lovely figure in the water. "But your our best guy friend. Being the title of our best guy friend entitles us to come to you with out girlish giggles and fantasies."
"I could be seeing Squffie on tour right now," Vincent groaned as he let himself collapse in the nearest chair. He pouted at the two girls. "Instead I decided to come on a spur-of-the-moment trip with you guys."
"Continuing my entry," Kairi observed the trio from her hiding spot. "I have spotted three Asian tourist such as ourselves. I can tell they are Asian because they are speaking Japanese and they look the part. The group consist of two young females and a slightly older but very sexy looking male. What data have I collected about these strangers so far? The blonde girl is named Rikku and she is full of energy and hormones. The shy young brunette is Yuna and the sexy male species is Vincent. Now I shall observe them even further for no particular reason."
"Oh he's getting out!" Yuna blushed as she covered her mouth with her hands as a type of boy shield. Kairi let her gaze go over to the blonde, who's mouth was practically hovering over the ground. "He's so-"
"Young!" Rikku let her outspokenness slip out. "Yunie! I wasn't starring at him! He looks like he's twelve! And your seventeen!"
"I am not twelve!" the boy who they were talking about yelled at the two girls. Kairi peered out from the lawn chair even further to get a good look. She saw a familiar looking boy with flippy spiked dirty blonde hair glaring at the trio. "I've just turned fourteen for your information!" Tidus yelled.
"And he's so not your type," Rikku continued to talk as Tidus weren't there. "He's really short and has such an immature attitude."
"Spotted target number one," Kairi whispered so that the nearby blonde wouldn't hear her. "Tidus is talking to two older girls. Yes, they are Yuna and Rikku. I'm guessing that they are seventeen and that the older boy is nineteen. Any who...Tidus is now arguing with Rikku and Yuna."
"Rikku," Yuna slightly whined quietly, not wanting to cause a fight. "Please stop."
"Yeah Rikku!" Tidus exclaimed with a smirk as he stepped beside Yuna. "Please sto---" Tidus let his gaze run up and down the brunettes body. "Whoa!"
"Tidus is now starring at Yuna. Yuna is blushing. Rikku looks angry. And Vincent is buying tequila," the crimson ninja observed. She looked over at Tidus and Yuna for a moment. "Except for the fact that Tidus is younger and shorter...Yuna and him look like a cute couple."
"Why," Tidus smirked as he grabbed Yuna's hand and kissed it. "I'm Tidus. Nice to fuck you."
"Tidus is trying to pick Yuna up with Sora like pick up lines. It isn't working. Yuna is looking shocked and disgusted. Rikku is looking angry. Vincent just finished his third strawberry daiquiri. I want a daiquiri..." Kairi wandered off.
"Come on Yuna," Rikku groaned angrily as she linked arms with Yuna. "Let's go. Vincent!" she yelled to the mid-day drunk man. "We'll be in the room."
"Aw man," Tidus pouted as he plopped down on a chair. "This sucks."
"Observation about subject one," Kairi made a mental note while traveling from lawn chair to chair. "Very horny. Looking for action. It's not working. Let's see if I can try to spot-"
"RIKU!" Selphie obviously screamed as she dunked the teacher. "Let's play marco polo!"
"Alright," Riku laughed as he kissed her on the forehead. "But there isn't any need to dunk me."
"Observation about our last two subjects," Kairi mumbled out loud as she tried to sneak out of the pool area without being noticed (FYI...it wasn't working). "They are having a fun, private moment by the pool. But that kiss could have totally given them away." She smiled at the thought as she left the pool area. "Onto the next subjects!"
And a few moments later...
"Diary entry number pizza," Kairi groaned in a tired voice. "I am tired. I was more pop corn shrimp. I can't find anyone else. This sucks and I want my mommy."
"Yes!" a loud foreign voice rang from beside her. "I won fifteen bucks!"
"Hai!" Kairi cheered (but quietly! She's a ninja. Ninja's kill people.). "Hai! Hai! Haaaaiiii! I have found Wakka. He is-" Her eyes went wide as she hid behind a slot machine. "GAMBLING?"
"Man now I have a hundred bucks!" Wakka's naturally loud voice cheered in victory. "I wonder what happens when I put in ten bucks-" he thought out loud as he reached for the handle of the machine.
"Excuse me sir," a finger and stern voice tapped his back. Wakka turned around to the English speaking voice. "May I see your ID?"
"Nani?" Wakka spoke in Japanese. "I hate to tell you man but...I can't understand you."
"Not another foreigner," the casino worker groaned in frustration. He began to speak in a loud, slow voice. "ME! NEED TO SEE YOUR IDENTIFICATION!"
"He's not deaf," Lulu's dark and hazy voice rang from behind. "He's just a foreigner."
"Stop defending him," Sephiroth told her in a quiet voice. "We may get in trouble too."
"Pussy," Lulu spat and mumbled.
"Whatever man," Wakka coolly told the worker. "I'm a kid. I didn't know it was illegal okay? Just back off," he ranted at the innocent worker as he strutted away with a chip on his shoulder.
"New subject report," the ninja, Kairi, once again said out loud. "Wakka was being stupid. Apparently stupid impresses Lulu. I wonder where I can buy a hot dog...onto the next area!" The 'ninja' started sneaking around the hotel lobby once more humming her own personal theme song. "So far I have tracked down Tidus, Selphie, Riku, Wakka, Sephiroth, and Lulu. All I need to do is find Aerith, Cloud, and lovely Sora and my mission will be complete."
"Ma'am," a security guard called out to her. "What are you doing?"
Kairi looked around and realized she was standing behind a statue. In a fountain. A wet fountain. Full of wet water. Which made her feet wet. Which wasn't ninja like at all. "I'm a ninja!" Kairi smiled happily to the man.
The guard shook his head at the ninja. "Get out of the fountain please."
"You do know ninjas kill people," Kairi informed the guard as she stepped out of the wet, foot soaking water. "And they steal woman and make them do their laundry."
"That's nice," the guard said dully as he walked away.
"I AM DONE WITH RANDOMNESS!" Kairi screamed as she resumed her ninja-ness behind a non-fountainated statue. "I shall seek out my fellow-"
"Hello?" mumbled a quiet familiar voice. "Yes I'll hold." Kairi carried on her quiet self while spying on the voice. He didn't seem to notice. The crimson haired beauty looked closer and realized Sora was in the introduction of a phone call.
"Hey," Sora quietly said once more into the receiver. "I'd like to talk to the patient in room 734," he slightly laughed and ran his fingers through his locks of hair. "Yes of course I can hold."
Kairi's mood quickly became blue and cheerless. She softly pressed her pale fingers against her lip gloss covered lips. "He must be checking up on her," she whispered softly as a tear suddenly rolled down her face.
"Hey Namine," Sora smiled cheerfully. "How are you feeling?" he asked her with sorrow filled eyes. The brunettes eyes were filled with a second of shock. "Well I hope you'll feel better okay?"
"Namine," Kairi had trouble saying out loud for fear of chocking on her own tears. "I completely forgot about her."
"I'm actually having an okay time," Sora explained to the blonde back in Japan. "Like yesterday we rode this roller coaster," he paused for a moment to listen to Namine. "Oh she was! Kairi was practically screaming the entire ride!"
"Why you," Kairi's anger level started to boil.
"It was so cute!" Sora laughed suddenly into the phone.
"C-cute?" Kairi blushed to her eaves dropping self.
"No Namine," the teen chuckled awkwardly. "Not as cute as you." He once again paused to listen to his girlfriend. "Yeah ..Aerith hasn't been having the greatest time. Oh you know, because of Cloud and all." The spiky hair boy paused for a long time. "Of course. I'll talk to you tomorrow okay? Bye." Sora hesitated for a brief moment. "No," he blushed as he peered around the area. "Not here."
Sora pouted as his face reddened. "Okay! Buh-bye...Nam-Nam!" He laughed for abrupt moment before hanging up the phone. The smile remained on his face as he turned towards the direction Kairi was hidden. "And you can come out now Kairi."
"Ninja," Kairi thought out loud as she covered her hands in front of her face. "Be a ninja."
"...I can hear you," Sora informed her as an animated sweat drop seemed to fall from his spiky head.
"No," Kairi told him as she removed her hands and placed them on her hips. "I'm a ninja. Therefore you can't hear, see, smell, taste, or feel me!"
"...Taste you sounds fun," Sora let himself mumble out loud. "So does feel..." Before Kairi could slap him for his perverted comment he grabbed her by the hand and let their fingers interlock. "But since your here we might as well meet everyone. It's almost five-thirty."
"Okay," Kairi nodded and blushed as the two started off. The crimson head looked up at the taller teen. 'It's strange...I feel like since this Namine thing you've been nicer. Either that or I've been falling for you even harder.'
"So what are we seeing?" Cloud asked their sensei as they found their seats in the theatre.
"The Blue Man Group!" Riku Yoshizawa informed them. They all sat in their seats as their teacher remained standing. "It's these three performers."
"Let me guess," Sephiroth snickered sarcastically. "Are they blue?"
"Yes," The silver manned man told him in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. Sephiroth and the rest of the class dropped their jaws. "The trio of performers paint their faces blue and do all kinds of amazing things."
"Like what?" asked Selphie in curiosity.
"Play instruments, eat marshmallows, ect. ect.," The teacher educated them. "And the entire thing is pantomimed!"
"Your joking me," Lulu, the downer, gasped in disbelief.
"Don't judge it!" Cloud yelled at the gothic girl. "My mother saw this show once and she said-"
"Cloud," Aerith tried to force a smile while glaring down the blonde. "No one cares about what your father saw or what your mother said. And no one cares if you've been to Ireland from China and back! Stop being a know it all."
"Question," Sora spoke out loud as he interrupted the argument. He held up one of many strips of white paper found on his chair. "What are these for?"
"Making costumes," Cloud let himself peep out. Everyone raised their eyebrows as if they didn't believe him. "You'll see."
"Shhh!" Tidus hushed everyone excitingly. "It's starting!"
There was no curtain to be opened for the stage was already set. But three blue men walked out on stage, two with bottle in their hands and the other one with a drum. Music started playing and the man with the drum started beating. After awhile something odd happened.
"What is he-" Riku sat in amazement, his eyes glued to the performers on stage.
"Their pouring paint on the drums!" Kairi exclaimed quietly as she too sat in mesmerizing entertainment.
The drum beats were so loud that you probably couldn't hear someone cell phone ring. That created a since of surrounding with the music. You couldn't help but stare at these blue men! It's like they were discovering a new toy. They were truly brilliant performers.
"What are they doing now?" Lulu asked out loud.
"Hmm," Sephiroth examined the trio of blue. "It looks like they are throwing marshmallows into that guys mouth."
"Eww!" squealed Selphie. "The marshmallows are full of paint!"
The man with the marshmallows in his mouth soon discovered an overload. Another blue man quickly grabbed a canvas and began spinning it around. Then the marshmallow man let them explode out of his mouth and onto the white nothingness. When the spinning canvas stopped you saw a rainbow of swirls that awed the audience like no other. The people in the crowd laughed and cheered for more.
The show continued with many captivating surprises such as a scene involving captain crunch, stunts involving audience members and Twinkies, and a mass karaoke party singing "White Rabbit."
"Kairi," Cloud poked Kairi on the shoulder. Kairi smiled and turned around to him. "Can I talk to you outside for a moment?"
Kairi looked around to see what everyone else was up to. No one was paying attention to them. They were all deeply focused on the show. "Sure Cloud," the crimson head nodded.
Luckily for them, they were on the end of a row. They gracefully let themselves out of their row and out the theatre doors. Once down a the hall a bit, Cloud began to talk.
"Look Kairi," Cloud sighed as he leaned against the wall looking her straight in the eye. "I think it's about time I really told you how I feel about you."
Kairi slightly groaned and ran her fingers through her now shoulder length hair. "Cloud, I'm sorry. I like you and all but-"
"You could let me speak," Cloud glared at her. He put his hands in his pockets. "After all I've been having a hard time as it is."
"I'm sorry,' Kairi gulped. "Go on."
"Like I was saying," the blonde continued. "I need to tell you the truth. It's not fair to keep you out of the dark like this, since it concerns you and all."
'Oh god,' Kairi gulped. She started her nervous act of tugging at her sleeve. 'Here it comes..."
"I don't like you," Cloud finally told her. "I've never liked you that way."
"Never liked me my ass!" Kairi exploded at him. "What about the time under the tree?"
"Me purely day dreaming," Cloud simply answered, setting Kairi straight. She calmed down a bit and let him continue. "See...the song I was listening to when you walked up was our song." He sighed and also ran his fingers through his gravity defying hair. "I only-"
"Our song, huh?" Kairi grinned happily. She approached him as if she were a lioness hunting a gazelle. "Who is the other half of this our?"
Cloud answered Kairi's threat by smiling back. "You should know very well who."
"Nope," Kairi lied. She rocked back and forth on her heels in a way of teasing the teen. "I have no clue."
Cloud groaned and gave Kairi a 'I-hate-you-RAWR' look (which was returned by a 'you-know-you-love-me-gimme-a-cookie' look). "Aerith. The girl who I have feelings for is Aerith. It has always been Aerith and always will be Aerith." Cloud crossed his arms and gave Kairi an emo like pout. "Happy now?"
"Yes," Kairi grinned evilly. She leaned against the wall opposite of Cloud. "Now...continue your story."
"Fine," Cloud stuck his tongue out at him, breaking the restraining friendship once and for all. "Well...remember that music I let you listen to?"
"Of course," Kairi nodded.
"Her favorite songs. You know the tree we were under?" he asked her.
"Yes, yes," Kairi agreed. "It had a lot of blooming flowers in it.
"Yes, flowers," Cloud once more continued. "Her favorite thing. And the entire situation reminded me of..." He paused and trailed off.
"Of what?" Kairi questioned with that predator like sense.
"The time I was going to tell her I loved her," Cloud stuttered out of himself. This was followed by a long 'awww' from Kairi. "There, I told you the story." He rubbed the back of his neck to relieve some tension. "Sorry about the misunderstanding. At that moment I thought you were Aerith. And after that I couldn't exactly tell you the situation because I thought you might start liking me back." He then grinned like Kairi had been grinning the entire time. "Which brings me to this point. Do you love Sora?"
"T-t-that w-was random," Kairi began to stutter. She pulled at her sleeve and a deep blush formed on her face. "I mean I may like Sora a little but-"
"You stare at him all the time," Cloud informed her.
"Who wouldn't stare at him!" She exclaimed. "I mean his hair is so-"
"Whatever his hair is," Cloud grinned at her. "Mine is ten times more and you never stare at me!"
"That's because-"
"I mean your face practically screams 'I WANT TO GET IN YOUR PANTS SORA!'" Cloud interrupted.
"I don't do that!" Kairi yelled at him in embarrassment. "I'm not a horny teenager."
"Yes," Cloud quickly responded. "But we all know Sora is. And we all know you like him."
"Fine I like him!" Kairi slipped out in frustration. "And you like Aerith...so what is your point?"
"Nothing!" Cloud took a step back and laughed. "Just trying to confirm that we like different people." He held out his hand to her. "Want to make a bet?"
"Depends on what," Kairi raised her eye brow.
"We both have to confess our love by the end of the trip," Cloud uttered to the crimson hair beauty. "And if not then the other will be the slave."
"Love slave or-"
"Regular slave," Cloud mentally slapped Kairi's head. "Agree?"
"Why would I agree to that?" the angered and flustered girl questioned.
"Just say yes," smiled Cloud charmingly.
"Yes," Kairi slipped out. She covered her hand over her mouth. "I mean no! No, no-"
"It's a deal then!" Cloud exclaimed as he grabbed her free hand and shook. "Be ready to do my laundry, slave."
"Your on future brother-in-law!" Kairi squeezed the older teens hand to confirm the deal. They both laughed and started heading back towards the theatre to watch the rest of the show when they heard a loud cheer.
"Come on!" Cloud declared with a rather large smile on his face. "Let's see what's going on." He ran into the theatre.
"Wait for me!" Kairi called out as she followed him. She too went into the theatre with wide eyes. The crimson head practically cried from laughter. The entire place was covered with white streamers! Rows and rows of white rolls were practically suffocating the members of the audience.
"Dear non-Ninja mental Diary," Kairi laughed inside her head. She wiped a happy tear from the side of her eye. "It's funny how in a single moment everything can be pure. It's funny how someone's words can lift a huge weight off of your shoulders." She gulped as she attempted to get back to her seat and remembered her bet with Cloud. "But how much thoughs words can suffocate you at the same time!
Your good friend,
Kairi
PS: I have to confess my love to Sora! Minus one point for me..."
