Chapter III: Murder...
The next day, Taylor and Riku were playing a game of chess, when Riku's mom came in carrying Ginger.
"It's your turn now. Take care of your daughter..." she said, handing her to Riku.
"But Gramma, I don't wanna go to Daddy. He's playing chess with Unca Taylor," she told Riku's mom.
"I know, but my arms are tired. I'll come back later, okay Gingie?" she told her.
"Ukkay Gramma," she said and crawled around on the floor til' Riku's mom came back.
Well, I hope that was a fun little scene for ya, but back to the good stuff.
Kairi and Taylor had met up at the beach and went out to eat again.
"Oh no, the Aurochs are sooo much better."Taylor said sipping soda.
"Uhhh, yeah right." Kairi said, getting a spoonful of ice cream.
"Hey...do you wanna go see a movie?" he asked.
"Uhhhh...sure..." She got up and took Taylor's hand.
After the movie
"Hey wanna go see your parents?" he asked, turning to face her.
"Ummm, I guess so." They walked to Kairi's house but when they got there, they saw tons of police cars surrounding their house.
"MOM? DAD?" Kairi screamed, running into the house.
When she got in there, there was dust, glass, wood, burning coals and an outline of a body on the floor.
"Kairi!" Kairi's mom yelled when she saw her. "I thought he'd gotten you too..."
"He? What do you mean, he?" she asked, stepping away.
"Oh, Kairi...your Daddy's been...killed..." Kairi's mom said, starting to cry.
"WHAT?" she said sitting down on the couch."Mom if this is some sort of joke it's REALLY not funny!" she said with tears in her eyes.
"I'm afraid not Kairi..." Taylor said, walking through the door.
"Taylor...you knew about this?" Kairi said, just staring at him.
"No. But I know who did it...and I swear...I will make him pay for what he did to you..." he said, sitting on the couch beside Kairi.
Later that night, Taylor was walking back to his apartment.
"Hey, man how'd your date with Kairi go?" Tidus asked, stepping in.
"It wasn't a date...we're just...really good friends...that's all," Taylor replied, hanging his head down.
"But 'really good friends' isn't good enough?" Tidus asked sipping soda and watching TV.
"It's just..." Taylor stopped himself. He didn't want Tidus to know how he felt for Kairi. "It's just fine..." he said. But what Taylor didn't know is that Tidus saw right through him.
"Oohh...don't try to hide it man cause
I can sniff it out..." Tidus said, tossing Taylor a soda.
"...I
mean after all, I grew up with Sora and Riku...it's not that hard to
tell now. You are under her spell."
"What spell?" Taylor asked with an inocent look on his face.
"Her spell is her looks...ya know what I mean?" Tidus asked, elbowing Taylor.
"Ooooh, I know what you mean," Taylor said, nodding and grinning."Well I think I'm'a hit the hay," Taylor said, getting up. On his way out, he popped Tidus in the head.
"OWWWW!...geez," he yelled, rubbing his head.
Heres what happened with Selphie and Kairi while Taylor and Tidus were talking.
"Hey, girl. How'd your date with Taylor go?" Selphie asked, running in.
"It wasn't a date...We're just...really good friends...that's all," Kairi replied, sighing and propping her head on her hands.
"But 'really good friends' isn't good enough?" Selphie asked, getting some canned soup out of the pantry.
"It's just..." Kairi stopped herself. She didn't want Selphie to know how he felt for Taylor. "It's just fine..." she said. But what Kairi knew is Selphie saw right through her.
"Oohh...don't try to hide it girl, cause I can weed ya out..." Selphie said "...I mean after all, I grew up with you... you'd think I'd know by now. You are under his spell."
"What spell?" Kairi asked, with a pout on her face.
"His spell is his looks... ya know what I mean?" Selphie asked, nudging Kairi.
"Yeeaaah, I know what you mean," Kairi said, nodding and grinning."Well I think I'm gonna go to bed," Kairi said, getting up. On her way out she popped Selphie in the head.
"OWWWW!...dang" she yelled, rubbing her head.
