I'm so tired right now, so I can't be arsed to blabber on about all the shit I usually put at the start. (yawns)
I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy or Square Enix.
This chapter is gonna suck so much 'cos I'm practically asleep. Oh well, I hope it turns out better than the previous 4.
Roxas practically threw Kairi into the bathroom along with her uniform, and barked at her to get changed quickly. She groaned and changed out of her comfortable nightclothes into her stiff, grey school uniform. In a matter of minutes she reappeared again, confronted by the excited, impatient blonde.
"C'mon, I really wanna see this!" he said. Sora grinned.
"I didn't think you were the violent type, Roxas," he teased. Roxas blushed.
"I just meant that it'd be pretty cool to see." he said. "Kind of."
"Roxas' bloodthirsty side is finally revealed..." grinned Sora. Roxas gave him a playful, yet harsh, punch, and he and Sora began to play fight. Kairi tapped her foot impatiently, burying her hands into the silky pockets of her navy blazer as she usually did when she was getting impatient.
"Ahem? Weren't you the one going on about checking this thing out?" she frowned, raising an eyebrow at the teenage blonde. Roxas dropped Sora, who was losing the tussle, and nodded.
"Yeah, 'kay." he said, and bounded out of the room. Kairi followed him, and noticed Sora lock the door behind him. She felt in her pocket to make sure she had the key card - she didn't want to go through the same as last night. She rolled her eyes as Sora sprang forwards and ruffled up Roxas' hair, as if it wasn't already wild enough.
She patted her own hair to make sure it had maintained its spikiness, and that it hadn't gone flat and girlish while she slept. Luckily, it was still the same; she thought of it as similar to Reno's, though without the ponytail.
Kairi bounded down the stairs in a bid to catch up with the speedy boys, and ran into someone as she did. It was Tsukasa, with Natsu trailing along and complaining behind him.
"Oh, hi, Tsukasa." she said. Tsukasa nodded and mumbled 'Hi'.
"Where's you off to?" he asked.
"Going with Roxas and Sora to check out that fuss about the guard," she said, hiding her guilty conscience.
"Oh, we've just been there." he said, matter-of-factly. "If you like, we can take you there. Your friends seem to have taken off."
Kairi leant over his shoulder, and groaned as she realised Sora and Roxas had gone off without her.
"Okay." she said. Tsukasa linked his arm through Natsu's, and wheeled him around.
"We're going back outside," he told him. Natsu groaned.
"Tsukasa, we've just been there." he sighed. "I need to do my hair. I look a mess."
"Yeah, you do." he joked, walking out of the building. Natsu gave an impish smile and ran a hand through Tsukasa's hair. A look of mingled shock and horror spread across his face, as he gingerly touched his hair - his most prized possession.
"You bastard!" he screamed, and attempted to slap his boyfriend. Natsu ducked, laughed, and walked on ahead. Kairi tagged along behind, many thoughts flowing through her head. She hoped he wasn't in a bad state and that the school hadn't phoned the police, or anything drastic like that.
The three teenagers dashed onto the yard, where they saw Sora, Roxas, and a few other kids crowding round an unconscious man. Kairi pushed her way past to the front, where she met up with Sora and Roxas.
"Hey." she said, muscling her way past a younger boy. "Where'd you go off to?"
"We thought you were behind us." said Sora, and shuffled to the side so that she could get a better view. Kairi stared down at the ground, and saw the guard sprawled out unconscious on the floor, eyes wide with shock. Guilt flowed through her as she saw the empty gas grenade by his feet.
"The guy gassed him and everything!" said Samu, who was standing nearby, eyes wide with excitement. "Awesome! I wonder who did it?"
Out of the corner of her eye, Kairi saw Reno pacing back and forth, muttering under his breath. She was almost certain that he thought the winged assassin had done this, as he was in on the news about him. Her, possibly. Even though when she fought him he had a guys voice. (A.N. Could've been Rozi, lol)
"Get out the way, fags." came a sudden, harsh voice. Kairi turned around to see Ryosei shove Tsukasa and Natsu to the side, tripping Natsu over as he did. Kairi felt anger rise in her. Tsukasa had helped her out on her first day, and even though she didn't intend on getting close to guys, she felt she had befriended him. And he was gay, anyway, and seemed as if he would rather stay in doing his hair in the mirror than going on a midnight killing spree.
"Leave him alone, you dumb shit." she spat, glaring at Ryosei. She heard Roxas give a small gasp behind her, and heard others whispering quietly. Ryosei's face turned crimson - not the embarrassed shade of red, but the angry one. He stomped over to her and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, lifting her a few inches off the ground.
"You wanna say that again?" he snarled, breathing heavily into her face. Kairi wrinkled up her nose. His breath smelt of dog food.
"Typical chav, letting your fists do the talking." she retorted, feeling extremely confident and not the least bit scared.
"You got a death wish?" he growled, leaning forwards their faces were almost touching; his aggressive eyes were burning through hers. Kairi, though, collected a huge lump of saliva in the back of her throat and spat straight in his face. She heard Sora give a short laugh, falling silent as he realised the consequences of mocking Ryosei.
All attention seemed to be directed away from the guard and onto the two arguing teens. Most people thought that this new 'Kazu' wouldn't stand a chance against the bullying Ryosei. But Kairi knew better - although she could, if she wanted to, just let him beat her up, so that she wouldn't be suspected.
"You're gonna regret that, you little shit." snarled Ryosei, wiping the spit from his brow. Suddenly, he swung a heavy punch at Kairi's head - which she dodged instantly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a suspicious Reno walking over to the excited crowd. Kairi grinned to herself, already planning out what she was going to do.
Ryosei's second punch landed, even though she'd let it. It hurt more than she'd expected, but still let out a false cry and stumbled backwards. He grabbed her collar again and punched her in the face. Hot blood trickled from her nose, but she didn't care. She could feel it wasn't broken. Another punch hit her, this time in the jaw. Now she could see Reno pushing his way through the crowd, eyes fixed on Ryosei, anger burning through his eyes. She knew Ryosei was gonna be the one blamed, but she decided to add salt to the wound, and raised her hands up to her face, whimpering.
"Leave me alone!" she wailed, fear flooding her eyes. "I told you, I don't want to! Stop it!"
Reno walked over and pulled Kairi away from Ryosei.
"What's going on?" he demanded. "What's he doing?"
Kairi gave a false whimper and sniffed, looking at Ryosei in terror.
"He was beating me up because I told him I wouldn't have sex with him," she whimpered. She smirked inwardly as the blood drained from Ryosei's face. A few howls of laughter could be heard in the crowd, whilst some people just stared at them, shocked that she had dared to say that.
Reno turned to Ryosei and raised an eyebrow, folding his arms sternly.
"What's this?" he said.
"I didn't!" he roared, going red in the face. "He's lying!"
"That's sexual assault, my friend." he retorted, glaring. Kairi gave a sigh of relief as she realised that Reno believed her. "Kazu has only been here a day, and already you're trying to force him into things he clearly doesn't want to do!"
Ryosei stared, dumbstruck, and gave Kairi a death glare.
"But I didn't--"
"Save it for detention." said Reno firmly. "My office, every day for the next month. You can clean out my bathroom, and then write an essay about why you've done wrong."
Ryosei opened his mouth, then shut it again, realising he wouldn't win this argument. He glared at Kairi with the look he reserved for mortal enemies, and stood there, looking up at Reno like a retard.
"Well, go on! You can start now!" he snapped. Ryosei swore and skulked off, fists clenched. Everyone started talking and muttering excitedly, and then Tsukasa walked up to Kairi.
"You really didn't have to stick up for me like that..." he said, blushing. Kairi shrugged it off.
"It was no problem," she said.
"But...you're bleeding!"
Kairi felt the warm blood on her lip and shrugged.
"No big deal."
Natsu stood up, brushing the dust off his jacket and flicking his blonde hair.
"That jerk messed up my hair." he sighed. "Come on, Tsukasa. I need to sort myself out."
Tsukasa sighed, and nodded.
"Fine," he said. "See you around, Kazu."
Kairi waved as the couple walked off, and then felt herself surrounded by three familiar teens.
"Whoa, that was awesome!" cried Roxas. "You totally showed up Ryosei!"
"I guess not many people like him, then." she shrugged. She heard Sora, Roxas and Riku, who was standing with the two other boys, snort.
"See this here?" asked Roxas, pulling up his sleeve to reveal a nasty white scar. "Ryo did that to me 'cos I wouldn't give him my phone."
Kairi's eyes widened. Ryosei certainly was a nasty piece of work - could he be the one she was looking for?
"Hey!" cried Sora suddenly, shaking Kairi's arm. "The guard's coming round!"
She glanced onto the floor to see the watchman groan and slowly sit up, clutching his head. All of the kids crowded round again, seeming to forget the Ryosei incident. The guard shook his head and slowly stood up.
"Wha...?" he groaned, rubbing his face. "Why am I here?"
Suddenly, he caught sight of Kairi through the crowd and his face paled.
"It's him!" he cried suddenly, pointing an accusing finger at her. "I know it! Those eyes! Assassin!"
There was a confused murmuring, and every glanced at Kairi quizzically. Kairi looked as confused as they did, shrugging.
"What are you on about?" she asked him.
"Don't play dumb with me!" he snapped. "You were the one who attacked me last night! Someone...Someone call the police!"
Kairi swore mentally and tried to calm him down.
"Keep it down, you're delusional. You've just been attacked." she insisted.
"LIAR! You tried to kill me!" he spat, flying at her. Kairi raised her hands above her face, whilst Riku and Sora jumped on him and held it back. Right on cue, Reno came running along.
"Hey, Nobu, you're okay!" he said. "Whoa, calm down, why the heck are you trying to attack the kids?"
'Nobu' lashed out violently, catching Sora in the chin, who then uttered a strangled cry. Riku immediately dropped the guard and scuttled away from the insane guard.
"That's the one that attacked me!" he bellowed, glaring at Kairi.
"You mean Kazu? C'mon, Nobu, he's a kid! He couldn't have attacked you in the night, he'd have been asleep!" he said, obviously not believing the talk the man was spinning him.
"He's got the same eyes!" insisted Nobu.
"Most kids have blue eyes," sighed Reno, clapping a hand on the man's shoulder. "Come on, Mr. Violent. I think we'd better have a chat in my office."
Nobu hung his head and trailed off towards the building, repeatedly muttering of Kairi's guilt. Roxas looked at her.
"Wow, two birds with one stone!" he said, sounding impressed.
"Is he a jerk then?" she asked. Roxas nodded.
"Kinda like a grown-up Ryosei. But not as much of a bully." he shrugged. Sora walked over, his lip swollen and bleeding.
"I can't believe that bastard hit me," he growled, wiping the blood from his chin. "I hope Reno sacks him. I can't believe he thought you were his attacker!"
"Pretty dumb, eh?" she laughed. "C'mon, I think we both need to get cleaned up."
"Yeah, may as well." he shrugged, rubbing his bruised chin. "Roxas, Riku...you two coming?"
"That's just your way of making us come." smirked Riku. Sora
flashed them both a grin and headed back towards the dorms.''
''
Kairi stepped out of the bathroom, after washing her face. She leant over the
mirror and examined her face. Her lip was swollen, and still had a few beads on
blood on it, and there was a large bruise under her eye and on her cheek. Sora
seemed to have a cut lip, and there was an ugly black bruise forming on the
underside of his chin. Kairi would say she'd got beaten up worse than him; she
was used to it, though.
Sora was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headrest, tapping buttons on his PSP. Kairi sat down, bored. She wished she'd brought a handheld console, or even a TV console, with her to keep her boredom at bay. She glanced at the TV at the other side of the room and idly approached it. She frowned as she searched around it, looking for the remote.
"Sora?" she asked. He looked up from his game.
"What?" he replied.
"D'ya know where the remote is?"
"TV's broke. Same in every room." said Sora. "Otherwise, I'd be on my PS2."
Kairi groaned and slumped back down on the bed. She was even more bored now; she couldn't even play a multiplayer game with him. Maybe she could head home tonight and grab Rikku's PSP or something...
As she thought, there was a rapid knocking at the door. Kairi got up and approached it, pulling the card out of her pocket. Sora suddenly jumped up.
"Don't open the--!" he began. Too late. The door slid open to reveal two old teenagers with sleek, straight silver hair and cat-like emerald eyes.
"--Door." Sora groaned. The one with shorter hair pushed past Kairi and walked up to Sora.
"Well, well, trying to shut us out, were you?" he asked. Sora glared at him.
"What do you want, Kadaj?" he groaned.
"Have you forgot? Brother and I are in charge of room inspection." he smirked. Kadaj walked over idly to the dresser, looking around at the room.
"Not bad." he said. "What do you think, Yazoo?"
Yazoo walked over and leant over Sora.
"Hey, little Sora. Let me have a look at what you're holding." he said. Sora reluctantly pushed the expensive handheld device into Yazoo's black, gloved hand.
"Well, look at this little device!" he smirked, throwing it to Kadaj. Kadaj rolled it in his hands, examining it.
"Brother, it'd be a pity if it broke, now, wouldn't it?" sneered Kadaj. Sora said nothing. PSPs were expensive, around £180. Kairi started to feel an air of unease in the room. Kadaj let it purposely slip through his hands, but he caught it and threw it at Sora.
"I'll see you another time, little Sora." he said. "Yazoo, let's go."
Yazoo smirked at Sora and followed his brother out of the room, his long, silver hair flickering out behind him. Once they'd left, Kairi bolted back across the room and locked the door, before approaching Sora.
"You know him?" she asked. Sora nodded, and she could tell he was now in a bad mood. Kairi had felt something weird about Kadaj and his brother. They couldn't be trusted - she'd have to keep an eye on them.
'Where'd you meet?" she asked, not wanting to sound too personal. Sora didn't say anything, and shrugged. Kairi got the hint, and didn't ask anything else. She leant against the wall and tapped her foot on the ground.
Before long, there was another knocking on the door. Kairi ignored it, then heard a voice shouting,
"Sora! Let us in!"
Sora groaned, switched off his PSP and trudged over to the door. Upon opening it, Samu, Ryosei and a few other lads let themselves in.
"R-Ryosei!" gulped Sora.
"Shut up, I wanna ask you something." he spat.
"I thought you were in detention?"
"I finished early. Now shut up! Don't keep bringin' that up!"
Kairi froze as she heard Ryosei's voice, knowing that she was in for it. She swiftly ran outside onto the balcony and hid against the wall.
"What do you guys want?" she heard Sora sigh.
"Well, y'know how all the TV's have bust..." said Samu.
"Yeah, and you've got a laptop..." piped in another boy, scrawny, with glasses and a screwed up face.
"We need it to watch something," said Ryosei gruffly. The fourth boy, a little taller than the runty one, just adjusted his glasses and scratched his black hair, saying nothing.
"What is it?" Sora groaned.
"Tom, give us it," barked Ryosei. "NOW!"
She heard Tom whimper and give him something. She got the impression that Ryosei just used the boy to get what he wanted.
"WHAT!" Sora cried. 'You lot are not watching that on my laptop!"
"Why not?" demanded Samu. "What's wrong with it?"
"Only the fact that it's a porno DVD!"
"No, it's not!"
"Oh yeah, it just has a naked woman on the front with the captions "Should not be viewed by under 18's" on it for no reason whatsoever."
"C'mon, Sora! No-one else will let us use their laptops!"
"Well, I'm not gonna, either."
"Yes, you are."
Kairi heard Ryosei come into the conversation.
"Give's the laptop," he snarled.
"Get bent!" retorted Sora snappily. Kairi heard struggling and grunting, then the sound of a yell of pain, and a fist connecting.
"You bastard!" she heard Sora groan. "You would hit me in my goddamn mouth when you knew...shit, my lip's bleeding again!"
"Shut up," growled Ryosei. "And gimme the laptop, 'cos ya know I'm gonna hit 'cha again if ya don't."
"You'll get in deeper shit with Reno," replied Sora.
"Yeah, but where's the proof? I'd say it was the same injury as the one Nobu did on ya." he smirked. "An' you don't have any witnesses. These guys'll back me up. None of 'em have the balls to stand up to me 'cos they know I'd deck 'em."
"You dirty bastard." spat Sora, groaning. "That's not fair."
"Life's not fair, punk." grinned Ryosei. Kairi felt the blood boil in her veins. "So are ya gonna give it me?"
"It's in the top drawer." Sora groaned reluctantly.
"That's more like it," sneered Ryosei. "Daz, get the laptop."
"Sure," came Daz's reply. Kairi heard his footsteps as the short, black-haired boy went to pull the computer from Sora's drawer.
"See ya around, freak." grinned Ryosei, smacking Sora in the gut as he went. As soon as she heard the door shut, Kairi bolted from the balcony back into the room and knelt by Sora.
"Oh my god...he just robbed you!" she said, as it dawned on her. Sora grunted, looking at her as he wiped the blood from his lip.
"Not really." he said, clutching his stomach as he stood up.
"Yes, he did. He beat you up and took something valuable from you against your will. It's the same." Kairi informed him. Sora was silent.
"Aren't you gonna tell Reno?" she asked.
"What's the point? He'll deny it. Those three'll back him up, and everyone'll think it's the same injuries from when Nobu smacked me," groaned Sora.
Kairi placed a comforting hand on Sora's shoulder, but then snatched it away as she realised that he thought she was a guy, and that he probably thought she was coming on to him.
"That jerk deserves to die," he groaned. Just then, a thought popped into Kairi's head.
Now, there was an idea. If she crept into his room at night with her twin blades...that would mean there would be no more Ryosei. Ever. No one would miss him, and the best part of it would be the job satisfaction.
"Sora...which room is Ryosei's?" she asked, hiding her grin.
"Um, 13, I think," he shrugged. "Why?"
"Oh..." she said, shrugging innocently. "Just curious."
"Whatever." said Sora, and began searching again for his PSP.
Room 13, she thought. Unlucky for some. And luck, Ryosei, is what you've just run out of.I won't write much here, 'cos I have a mahoosive Spanish project to do.
Oh yeah, and I've made a new decision. From now on, the person with the most reviews will have their character added to the story! If they win, I will PM them and ask them for details, and then add the character in the Bonus Chapter. Bear in mind, my friend Jade (Hotaru) will be writing it, so you will be related in some way to Jami Chiro. (rolls eyes) That's her name for James Marsters, who is, for those of you who don't know, Spike in Buffy.
But, if you really really don't like him (like me, lol, I get sick of hearing about him every day) you can have nothing to do with him. Whatever. Hopefully, this will get more reviews, cos there isn't too many at the minute. And if there's a draw, I will pick randomly. Bear in mind that I will only count reviews for this chapter onwards so that new reviewers don't just review all the old chapters.
Ja ne! (goes off to do Spanish Project)
