Disclaimer: In the game Kingdom Hearts, Sora likes a girl named Kairi. But in the occasional fan fic...he likes Riku. Or Tidus. Or some other random yaoi character. And when Kairi and Sora do hook up, it's usually by some insane brain switching experiment. This is how you know that we don't own Kingdom Hearts.

Authors Note: I have no ideas for the plot after this chapter. Eep! Oh yeah, I passed my permit test. Yay permit test!

Yes, I believe in Santa
Chapter Five: Tokyo

"I look like a freaking model!" I exclaimed as I looked into the mirror. I was currently wearing knee high boots and a jacket that met it. Under that I was wearing a plaid skirt, such as school girls would wear, and a regular shirt with a bloody heart drawing on it. Top it off with a scarf. "Is this supposed to be my disguise? I could just wear regular clothes. This will make me stand out more."

"We're going to Tokyo," Sora reminded me. "Your going to have to dress fashionable to blend in. Your clothes would only make you stick out more."

Thanks Sora. This is why I call you Jack Ass-kun.

"And you do look like a model in that," Sora pointed out to me. That made my head turn. Did he just say I looked like a model? "And not just the clothes. How much pounds of make up did you put on anyways?"

See? Sora could be nice. But he always has to ruin it. I turned and glared at him. "For your information I only have chap stick on." HA! Take that Jack Ass-Kun!

The brunette raised his eye at me. "Really? Your that naturally pretty?"

Nice comment again. And if that were Riku I'd blush. But Sora's going to come back with another stupid comment to completely wash that away.

"Because a few years ago you were a complete dog!" Sora exclaimed. See what I mean? Everyone around here is so predictable. "I remember your second year-"

"Shut it Sora," I snapped at him. Let's face it. You tell a girl she was or is ugly and she will kill you like a ninja. "You weren't no prize neither."

"Let's just stop arguing," Sora ran his fingers through his hair. SEE! Every guy keeps doing that! "We're going to have to spend the day together so we might as well get along."

"Well put," I agreed. This was followed by a sigh. "But I can't see why I can't go by myself." Or with Riku. "I can understand you'll teleport me there and junk," Without Riku. "But what's the point of you after that?"

"What are you going to do when you need to come back?" Sora grinned at me, knowing he was right. "And besides. This isn't a one man job. Two people are needed."

No duh. "I just don't see why someone else couldn't go," I mumbled. Like Riku. If I were in trouble, Riku and his sexy hair would save the day. Then we'd have sex for some reason. Don't ask me why, that's how it happens in the movies.

"Look Kairi," Sora groaned in frustration. "Your precious Riku isn't coming and I am. Just get over it." Before I had a chance to glare at him or anything he had grabbed my hand. "I'm going to try to teleport into the bathroom of a Tokyo Mall."

"I hate to tell you Sora," I started to tell him. But let's face it, I didn't hate to tell him at all. I was enjoyed to tell him. "But people use the bathrooms."

"Then let's aim for an empty stall," he chuckled as he squeezed my hands. Before I knew what was happening, our body images had started to fade and we were traveling to Tokyo. I decided to close my eyes since I didn't like the sensation of teleporting. By the time I had opened my eyes again, we had succeeded with out plan.

We were in an empty stall in (possibly) a Tokyo Mall.

"Looks like we did-" I started to say before Sora covered my mouth with his hand. I tried to bit him and force him to let me talk. But then he shushed me.

"Someone's coming," Sora whispered. I stopped struggling and decided to listen in. He was right. I was hearing the steps of high heels ever so slowly approaching our stall.

I put the 'What are we going to do?' look on my face. Sora shrugged and looked even more worried when the foot steps became closer. And closer. And closer.

"Hey look," hummed the voice, now outside our stall. "There's two pairs of feet in here."

Sora and my faces both instantly flushed. I think I heard him mumble 'kuso' before he did the unthinkable.

He kissed me. Right on the lips. And oh my if I didn't have a mission in danger I'd kick this guy in the balls. Not that he has any. I kept my eyes open and saw Sora giving me a glare that read 'Stick with the plan'. I felt like groaning (which would probably be inappropriate anyways) as I closed my eyes and let him kiss me.

But oh no! Sora didn't stop there! He tried to get his tongue in on the action. Poor Jack Ass-kun got his tongue bitten at that. I almost grinned in satisfaction at the pain in his eyes.

That's what you get Sora!

And your little dog too.

"Kairi?" gasped the voice belonging to the high heels. Sora and I broke from our kiss and blushed. I turned towards the girl and saw Ms. Hyper-active herself.

"S-selphie!" I exclaimed and questioned at the same time. "What are you doing here?"

"I'd like to ask you the same question," she crossed her arms and looked at me. "Who is that." That indicating Sora, of course.

"Umm," I tried to think. "This is my cousin!"

"Boyfriend," Sora said at the same time as me. We exchanged glares.

"Kairi," Selphie grinned. "You can't pass him off as your cousin after that action I saw. Unless you-"

"No," I sighed at the fact that I got caught. "This is Sora, my-" I gulped at softly as I could to keep the fact silent that he wasn't my, "boyfriend. Sora this is Selphie, my friend from school."

"But I thought you were going to Hokkaido for that orphanage camp or whatever," Selphie told me. Shoot. She had me there.

"She was," Sora wrapped his arms around me. Oh boy was I going to kick his ass when we got home. I saw Jack Ass-kun wink at Selphie. "I just so happen to go to the same camp."

Which, despite the fact there isn't a camp, isn't a total lie.

"Oh!" Selphie exclaimed as she finally got it. "So is this the boy you like Kairi?" She looked up and down Sora's body as if she was scanning him for approval. "I see he dyed his hair. I can't imagine silver on him anyways."

This almost made me laugh. Sora with silver hair. That'd be a funny site to see. Like he'd even be able to pass that off.

"So why are you guys in Tokyo?" Selphie asked us. But she wasn't going to stump us yet. Oh no. We were going to lie and lie until we were being burned at the stake.

"Buying gifts," I told her. See Sora? I can make up stuff too! "We forgot to buy some for some of our friends."

"Smooth Kairi," Selphie laughed. "That's just like you."

No. Not smooth Kairi. Now you look like an idiot. An idiot who was forced to lock lips with Sora.

Ew.

"We'll we're kind of busy," Sora smiled at her and winked. Was he suggesting another definition for busy? I hope not. I didn't want my good friend thinking I'd do the nasty with Jack Ass-kun. "Selphie was it?"

"Oh yes of course," Selphie smiled cheerfully at my 'boyfriend' (pfft!). She winked at me. "I think I'll use another bathroom then. You have fun Kairi."

"Oh you know I will," I smiled like the oh so happy person I was. I waited until she left before slapping Sora.

"What was that for?" Sora asked me as his hand instantly covered the hit mark. I felt like smiling at his pain.

"I can understand why you kissed me," I barked at him. Oh was I going to give him a piece of my mind. "But never, ever try to French me!"

"Look Kairi," he sighed and tried to explain to me. "I was only trying to-"

"I don't give a damn what you were trying to do!" I told him in a very, very angry whisper. "If you haven't noticed I don't like you! I can barely stand your existence."

"Don't flatter yourself Kairi," Sora practically spat at me. "I don't fancy you and you don't fancy me. I'd rather be with some like Namine right now then with you."

Namine? NAMINE? ...Well it's understandable, I guess. She is really pretty. But when it comes time for a conversation your screwed. If she talks or not! Because once you get her on a topic she likes she won't stop.

I'm not joking. I once had a eight hour conversation with her about how she thinks American music is secret propaganda. And let me tell you, that happened to be the most boring day of my life.

But the fact that Sora says Namine would be more interesting to hang out with then me? That is one of the greatest insults.

He got me there.

"Let's just get on with the mission," I held back my anger as I brushed past him. Remember Kairi. You can bitch about him later when your writing evil things about him in your diary.

Yes...the many evil things I shall write in my diary.

"Fine with me," Sora put his hands in his pocket and walked beside me. "So what do you have planned?"

"Well what I was thinking of," I told him now that my mind was focused on what we had to do. "Is to join the little kids and stand in line to see Santa. We will go up together as a so called 'couple'. When I sit on his lap I'll joke around and try to pull his beard. This is when I'll attach the microphone."

"That's way better then anything I had planned," Sora told me. I raised my oh so lovely eye brow at him.

"Oh?" I asked him as we continued to stride along the random Tokyo mall. "What was your plan?"

"Nothing," he grinned at me. Did he think he was clever or something?

"Like I was saying," I said as I continued with my plan. "We will then go to a park or a quiet place like that to listen to the report. You know, write down names and their wants. Then I say we hit one or two other malls in the area and do the same thing."

"Sounds good to me," Sora agreed with my plan as we approached the Santa line. We stood in line as a so called couple, which was the time I day dreamed about going on a so called date like this with Riku, and waited for our turn. And finally after fifteen minutes of children screaming and random boredom, we made it to the front of the line.

"We don't see many people," said the lady dressed up as an elf (and sadly, our uniforms were not so different from what she was wearing). She observed us from top to bottom as though she was looking through us. "Your age here."

"Do you want us to give you the money for the photo or not?" Sora barked at her as if he were...well, me. "Because believe me. We could spend it a lot of other places. We are in a mall you know."

That caused the color in the dressed up elf girls face to drain. "O-of course sir," she stuttered like no other. "Right this way."

"Thank you," Sora slammed five hundred yen into the ladies hand. He stepped aside and motioned towards the steps. "After you."

"Why thank you," I giggled. Hey, I can be a kick ass actress when I want to be. I step right up and plopped right now on Santa's lap. And I'm pretty sure I scared him out of his wit when I flashed my best smile.

Remember Kairi. Mission. Do not kick poor Santa in the balls.

"Hi," I continued smiling at him. I saw Sora come up and take his place next to mine. Luckily for this Santa, Sora didn't sit in his lap. Or maybe Santa would prefer it that way? Who knows who is under the beard.

Right. Beards. "Ooooh is this real?" I asked him as I tugged at his beard. Of course I remembered to attach the microphone to my finger while I was in line. So the moment I touched his obviously fake beard (which had been super glued or something to his face. Seriously. That thing wouldn't come off) the microphone was planted.

Half way done.

"What would you like for Christmas?" asked the (pained) Santa. I once again shot him a 'Hey-I'm-a-nice-girl' smile that all the children put on.

"Nothing special," I told him. Then it hit me. I had no idea what to say! So I imagined my ultimate fantasy.

Riku. Yes, my ultimate fantasy includes Riku. You should know me better by now. Any who, we both are standing under the giant Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. We would casually talk about life. Then we'd flirt a little. The clock would strike and I'd say "Oh dear! It's late. I shall be going now." More or less. As I walk away, Riku would yell "WAIT!" (A/N: Christmas Eve is a really romantic day in Japan.)

And when I spun around he would pin me to the wall and kiss me passionately. Because, come on. That's every girls dream. To be kissed like that by a guy she loves. If you haven't thought about that then you need hormones.

Anyways. Then I'd blush (something or other) and go "Riku!" and that's when he'd pull out his gift for me. A ring. He would breath heavily (because we were just swapping spit) and hand it to me. "For you," he would say.

Then after that I just kind of float on air and forget what I was talking about. Kind of like now. What was I doing?

Right. Santa. Mission. "I'd just like a ring," I smiled at Santa, fantasy still in mind. "Any old ring would do."

"Well if you've been a nice girl then Santa will bring it to you," the impersonator chuckled his ho-ho-ho's. He's probably going to buy one with the money he got from this Santa gig.

"Smile for the camera!" The elf lady proclaimed. Sora wrapped his arm around me, which made things way awkward for Santa, and smiled what he calls a movie star smile. And I did the same.

After we collected our photo, we headed out of the Tokyo Mall.

"Nice one Baka-chan," Sora rolled his eyes at me as we strolled down the busy streets. "You practically gave Santa a boner."

"Sora," I proceeded to tell him in a tired frustrated voice. "Your sick."

"What?" he asked as if he hadn't said anything at all. I saw us slowly approach a park. "It's true."

"This coming from the guy who not an hour ago called me ugly," I mumbled. Yes. I was still rather pissed off about that.

"I didn't call you ugly," Sora argued with me. Now we were entering the park. "I said you used to be ugly. Let's face it. Almost every teen will look like a dyke during their pre-teen years. I did. You did. Riku-," he paused for a moment. "Well Riku is a little more blessed then the rest of us."

I had to laugh at that one. Riku had always looked good. Sure, during his pre-teen years he did look a little feminine but he was a heck lot better looking then the rest of the elves.

"But yeah," Sora and I continued to walk amongst the park. "You ,right now,aren't ugly. I wouldn't kiss someone who looked like an ass. Not even for a mission. Maybe someone who acted like an ass but not looked like one."

See? Even when he tries to give a compliment he acts like a jerk. Sure, he pretty much said I was hot, more or less. But he also called me an ass hole. And he just sounded like a snob.

"Alright then," I yawned and sat behind the next tree I saw. "Now we record what the children say."

"Right," Sora sat down next to me with a pen and notebook. "That won't take long."

He obviously didn't see the line behind us when we visited dear old Santa.

And so, after practically three hours of writing down names and gifts, we were pretty much falling asleep. Did I say this job was easy? Someone go back in time and shoot me.

"Kanoko Moshitsu," I blinked as I tried not to doze off. "She wants a pink scarf with a bunny on it."

"That's how we know they are nice," Sora told me as he wrote it down. "Most of the time anyways. The nice kids mostly ask for things like that. Scarves, a stuffed animal, world peace. It's the naughty kids who ask for talking robots and moon shoes."

"Jitsu Aisuke," I ignored Sora. I was pretty much tired of Jack Ass-kun by this point. "He wants a toy truck."

"He could go either way," Sora pointed out to me. "Did he say was kind of truck he wanted?"

I turned up the radio which the microphone I attached was on. Then I put my ear next to the speaker. "Nope. Just says he wants a toy truck."

"I'll have my dad look into him then," Sora kept writing some more.

"Ichigo Koyaniwa," I continued to listen in. "She wants a Aino Mochizaga CD."

"I'll have my dad look into that one also," Sora jotted down some more notes.

I sighed and looked up into the sky. It was almost time for the sun to set. Had we really been there all day? Let' see. We left the work shop around ten or eleven. Went to Santa's around noon. Came to the park around one...

"Wow," I told myself as I looked up at the God painted sky. "The sun is setting earlier and earlier it seems."

Sora stopped what he was doing and nodded. "Yeah," he softly added. He slightly broke from the moment and turned towards me. "Kairi I have to tell you something."

"Nani?" I yawned in a perfectly relaxed voice.

"Well," he began to say. But he never had a chance to finish. Because at that moment a police officer came over and eyed us suspiciously.

"What are you kids doing?" he asked us. We both looked at each other in panic. Time to retreat.

"Grab the stuff," Sora told me quickly. I did so and he automatically grabbed my hand.

"What are you-" the police officer started to say. But neither of us would never know what he was going to say. Because Sora chose that time to teleport back home.

I closed my eyes to prepare myself. "Are you nuts?" I yelled at Jack Ass-kun. "That police officer-"

"Will think he's crazy," Sora lightly told me. "Think about it. He saw two lovers in the park one moment and the other they were gone."

"Your a jerk, you know that?" I angrily told Sora. I was pretty much fed up with him. Spending the day with Sora. Having Sora insult me constantly. Having Sora kissing me and then later telling me it was because I wasn't all that ugly.

Kairi angry. Kairi smash.

"I don't fancy you either," Sora came right back at me. I knew we were back at the work shop because I felt myself land on something soft. But wait. Something else landed on top of me. And it wasn't anything soft.

I curiously opened my eyes and saw we were on top of a pile of teddy bears. I say we because Sora was on top of me. And every elf in the workshop was eyeing us. I could have died right then.

"Well it doesn't seem that way," I told Sora as I observed his current actions. I proceeded to glare at him. "Now does it?"

There's about to be a (what?) girl fight.
