Chapter 7 - Taking control

"Sora?" I looked round the deserted form room. Where was he? I heard a noise from behind me. It sounded like chanting. I ran out into the courtyard to find...

"KAIRI! What the fuck are you doing!" Kairi was standing in the middle of a circle of classmates, holding someone very tightly. But that someone did not want to be held by her. That someone was my Sora! "Get your evil little claws off Sora you Bitch!" The classmates all turned around to stare at me.

"Excuse me retard. But I can do whatever the hell I want! Stop squirming Sora! You're mine now and I'm going to make it definite right here!"

"You're SICK! GET AWAY FROM MY SORA!"

"God Riku stress!" And with that, she promptly stuck her tongue down Sora's throat.

"That's it! TOO FAR!" I tore through the crowd, my strength fuelled by my love for Sora, and my desperate need to save him from that bitch!

"Riku!... Please... Kairi stop... no..."

"I'm coming Sora!" As soon as I reached Kairi I grabbed her by her hair and threw her as far as I could. She hit a tree and promptly fell unconscious. I picked up a frightened Sora and carried him all the way home. I laid him down on my bed, and got him some juice, with a purple straw in it.

"Thanks Riku. You didn't have to do that."

"Of course I did Sora. That bitch deserves to die." Sora didn't say anything - a sign that he quietly agreed.

"I'm sorry about your dad Riku."

"Aw don't worry about that. He'll be fine. And I can live by myself. I'll be fine." Sora smiled at me again. "Sora? T said you looked kind of sad lately... is there anything you wanna talk about." Sora blushed. "What? What is it Sora?" Sora didn't say anything. He only looked at me. "Come on Sora you can tell me!" Sora kept looking at me, still blushing. Then suddenly, he leaned forward and placed his soft lips on mine. At first I was too shocked to respond. But then I started to kiss him back. Sora pulled away, embarrassed. He went to run away, but I caught his shirt sleeve and pulled him back.

"I'm sorry Riku. I... just... never mind..."

"No! Not 'never mind'! And don't ever say sorry for kissing me!" He just looked at me still. Before saying

"I like you. I'm sorry. I was sad because... I thought you didn't like me. But then you kissed me! But then you ignored me. That was horrible." I couldn't believe it! I wanted to kill myself for hurting Sora! But how could I die now that I finally had all I'd ever dreamed of... We moved closer and...

"Sora! Son! One of your classmates came up to me and said there was some sort of fight! You better get down here right now! I know you're here! SORA!" We sighed together. As Sora turned to go, I pulled him close for one last kiss. As we broke apart, we both smiled; finally at peace.

Funnily enough, my teacher (Sora's mum) had not been overly happy with me throwing Kairi against a tree. She was thankful that I'd saved Sora from being raped; but Kairi's parents could sue the school. This made me rather unpopular with the teachers for a while. But did I care? Hell no! I had Sora as my boyfriend. We met everyday in the orchard, and held each other for hours, and then we went home, and could finally be together without Kairi or her spies intruding on us. Now was one of those times. We were sitting on my bed, Sora was on my lap; acting rather strangely.

"What is it baby?" I asked him, in-between kisses.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking. Don't worry. You'll thank me for it eventually." I was confused, but continued to kiss him. Sora wrapped his arms tighter around me, and shuffled even closer.

"Oh my! Ahem... Boys? Erm... I've come to collect Sora..." Shit. Sora's mum had walked in on us practically making out on my bed. Sora hastily jumped off my lap; his face redder than a strawberry. He waved meekly to me, before obediently following his mother.

"Now, now Sora! Where are your manners son? Doesn't your boyfriend deserve a goodbye kiss?" Sora's mother was an angel I swear. She smiled politely at us, instantly accepting of our relationship, because she knew it made us happy. Sora slowly walked up to me and gave me a quick kiss before going again; still bright red, but smiling.

"Thanks," I said to Sora's mum. She smiled at me, and took Sora home. My life... was just so perfect! Except for one thing...

The date of my dad's trial was fast approaching. The number off scared looks I was getting from my classmates was still increasing. And worst of all, Sora hadn't come into school today... and I didn't know why. Luckily Kairi was still at home recovering... and probably plotting another evil scheme. I'd almost got back to my house by the time I saw Sora.

"Sora! Where the hell were you today?"

"Sorry Riku... I had some stuff to do..."

"Like what?"

"I promise you'll find out... but not yet O.K. Come on my mum's out so we can go to my house." Only because I loved and trusted Sora so much; I did not pester him for a reason for his absence. But that didn't stop me worrying.
