The Next Friday After practice


"All right, guys. That's enough practice. Time to hit the showers." Sora said as he blew his whistle.

"Remember." His assistant coach Riku Takata announced. "We have practices on Monday, Wedensday and Friday. Be there at 5:00 sharp or you're running sprints. Sora then took off his whistle then walked to his office. He then checked his computer and sees a the title of latest ESPN main page. "

If Fair doesn't win championship, he will be run off by Crazy UK fans. Sora rolled his eyes and closed the ESPN tab. Not matter how crazy the Kentucky fanbase is, he still loves their passion and love towards the program. He then searches

for new tab to find which restaurant to eat. He search high and low until he found the perfect place to eat. He logs off then finished writing on his playbook. He then hears his door open to see his two men come in. One, is holding a folder.

His other assistant Lea Rose who has bright red hair and slicked back spikes gives him the progress reports.

"Good news, Sora. The lowest grade I gave them was C- and that was from the walk-ons." Sora chuckled.

"Good. I loved that they had a fight earlier. It brings the toughness we had as a team." Riku joined up with them.

"So, Sora." He smirked. "I heard you have a date, tomorrow night." Sora sheepishly rubbed his head then nodded. Axel shook his in disbelief.

"What? I thought that you didn't want to date anymore since Shimi died."

"Yeah, well this one is different." Sora told him.

"How different?" Asked Riku who drank his water. "What's her name?"

"Kairi Mori. She's the kids kindergarten teacher." Axel smirked in approval.

"A teacher? Nice... Is she hot?" Sora glared at the red headed which made Axel chuckled nervously.

"Just kidding." Sora rolled his eyes out.

"So, what's she like?" Asked Riku. Sora smiled while looking up the at the window.

"She's kind, caring, smart and fun and..."

"Pretty?" Riku asked.

"Beautiful." Sora said. Riku smiled.

"That's what you said when you met Shimi." Sora's eyes widen.

"Oh yeah, I remember that back in college." He asked. Riku nodded.

"Well... she reminds me of her. Even though she is a red head and Shimi's hair was brown."

"What about the kids?" Asked Riku. "Are me and Xion watching them?" Sora shook his head. He asks referring to his wife of 5 years.

"They're spending the night at My mom's house. I don't know about her son though."

"She has a son, too?" Asked Axel.

"He's Haru's best friend. And I'm glad. Haru hasn't been this happy in a long time." Sora said. He then looked at the clock and sees that it was 4:50.

"Aw, crap I gotta get dinner See later guys. Oh and Riku, On Monday we're doing workouts. Remind me of that. And Axel give me recruiting tapes." Axel saluted his head coach.

"No problem, Sora. Have fun on your date." Sora smiled and thanked him.


1 day, 1 hour and 5 minutes later.


"Oh boy... this is it." Sora said in his thougts. "My first date in a long time. I can do this. I can do this." He then felt someone touched his shoulder. It was his mother Aerith.

"It's gonna be fine. Trust me." Sora smiled. No matter what happens, Sora's mother always comforted him. Even through tough times. He heard the doorbell ring. He sighed then opened the door revealing Kairi and Ken. Kairi was wearing a tank top shirt and blue jeans. Sora blushed at her outfit.

"Hey, Kairi... you look nice, today." He complemented.

"Thanks, you do too." She returned the complement. Sora looked beside and sees her son with him. He crouched down and smiled.

"Hey, Ken. You ready to spend the day with Haru and Ami?" He asked. Ken nodded.

"Uh-huh."

"Well... you're also gonna love my parents. They'll make sure you have a good time. Tonight. They're right in the living room." Ken smiled then was bout to run off before Kairi pulled his hand then kneeled down to his level.

"Listen, Ken. I won't be gone long. I'll be back around 9:00. You behave now for Sora's parents. And have a good time." Kairi said to the five year old. Haru nodded.

"I will, Mommy." Kairi smiled then she kissed her son's cheek. Sora then turned to his kids. "Bye guys, I'll see you around 9:00."

"Bye, Daddy." The twins waved. Sora leads her to his car then drove off the parkway and made their way toward the Restaurant. The restaurant was called Scrooge's Bistro. It wasn't a cheap nor an expensive restaurant. They took their reservations, waited for a few moments before their names were called then they took their seats. They waited at their table for a few moments before a young man with Red hair, black eyes and is wearing a shirt, tie and apron.

"Hi, my name is Sid and I will be taking care of you."

"Nice to meet you, Sid." Kairi said to him.

"What would you have?" He asked.

"Some wine." Sora and Kairi said in unison. Sora and Kairi then looked at each other in amazement. So far this date is looking pretty good. After they ordered later ate their food, they had a conversation.

"So... how was practice?" Kairi asked.

"Oh... it was great! So far this team has never had a bad practice so far and that's different then the teams I have had the past years." Sora explained.

"Really? Why's that?"

"Because I think this team has been closer as a unit then any other team I've coached. They go out in public together. They watch movies together. When the practices start they take it seriously and sometimes have fights. My teams usually have that but not this early in the season."

"Oh... that's interesting... Is Pat Johnson as good as people say he is?" She asked. Sora shook his head.

"He's even better. In fact, he's the best shot blocker I have ever seen. In fact I'll show you this block at practice." He said as took out his phone clicked onto gallery then video then he hands his phone to Kairi. She sees in the video Terry Johnson attempting to dunk the ball but Patick came out of nowhere and blocked his shot. Kairi's jaw dropped then looked at her date.

"This guy could block Lebron James." Sora laughed at that then said "Maybe, someday."


30 minutes later


After their meal, they stayed for a few minutes and talked.

"So... Kairi. I have a question about your husband." Sora asked. This took Kairi by surprise.

"What about him?" She asked.

"Wh-what was he like? What kind of person was he?" He asked her. Kairi sighed before she gave him his answer.

"He was sweet. He was kind. He was goofy at times but he was great to children. He was looking forward to becoming a father. I told him I was pregnant on his birthday and he said that was greatest gift God has given him." Sora notices that she was sniffling. "It wasn't right that he was taken away from us. And was killed a month before his son was born." She couldn't take it anymore as she started bawl her eyes out."

"Did... did they caught the guys who did it?" Sora asked. Kairi nodded.

"Yes, they robbed a house just 4 blocks away. Luckily they got caught. They brought me to the station to confirm and Immediately recognized their voices. They were brought to trial, found guilty and was sentenced to 50 years in prison with no parole. Some say it was too harsh but the judge told me he knew what it was like for a child not to know his father, considering he never met his so I agree and am glad they were brought to justice." Sora nodded his head in agreement.

"You wanna know something? When I found out they caught them, a part me of me wanted to in there and kill those bastards but Katzuki wouldn't had wanted me to stoop to that level." Kairi finished.

"And I'm glad you didn't." Sora told her. "You are not a murderer, Kairi. You are a much better person than that." Kairi smiled at his remark and replied thank. Sora and Kairi beamed as soon as they heard a familiar song.

(Aerosmith's I don't wanna miss a thing plays)

"I know this song... this is my first dance at my wedding." Kairi beamed.

"Yeah, mine too." Kairi looked at him in great astonishment.

"Really?" Sora nodded. He then stood up and put his hand out.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Kairi's turned red but then she smiled and took it.

"I would love too." She answered. Sora grinned then he takes her to the dance floor. Sora puts his arms around her waist and Kairi as Steven Tyler begins the first verse. Kairi smiled with tears in her eyes. She loves this song after she and her Kazuki went out on their first date. It was the movie Armegeddon. While Kazuki liked it, Kairi thought that there was too many explosions and weak characters. (A Michael Bay movie) But the song was their first dance as a couple and Kairi cherished it ever since. Sora loves this song because Shimi was a huge fan of Aerosmith. They used to sing their songs a lot when they were young. And they went to an Aerosmith concert as their first date, they even got a picture with Steven Tyler. Now they are dancing together and had that same feeling with their late spouses. Once the song ended, they walked back to their table, paid for their meal and walked out of the restaurant.

"Hey Sora, What time is it?" Kairi asked. "Sora looked at his watch and it reads 8:45.

"Fifteen till Nine." He confirmed. Kairi nodded then she yawned.

"Well, I'm ready to go back home. Let's go back to your parents to pick up the kids."

"Right." Sora answered. After checking the time, Sora drove back to his parents to pick up the kids. They went to inside to see Aerith and Zack holding the children while watching Aladdin on TV. Sora cleared his voice to get their attention. It worked because they turned their head around and smiled at the sight.

"Hey, Sora. Hey, Kairi." Zack waved. "Have a good time?"

"We had an awesome time, Dad. We ate then we danced." Kairi nodded in agreement. She then turns to her son.

"Ken, did you have a good time with Haru and Ami's grandparents?" She asked.

"YEAH!" He answered. "We played board games together then we played nerf horse." Kairi raised an eyebrow.

"Nerf horse?"

"Yeah, we played horse with a Nerf basketball goal. We played 5 games, Ken won three of five." Kairi grinned.

"Good job, Ken. Now it's time to go home." Ken sighed but he obeyed his mother. He holds his hand while Kairi turned to Sora.

"Sora, I had a great time, thanks." Sora smiled.

"No problem. We should do this again next week." That gave Kairi a big grin.

"I would like that."

"And how about Ken spends the night, next time?" Suggested Aerith. "We would like to get to know him better."

"Yeah!" Exclaimed Ken. "Can we Mommy, please?" He pouted. Kairi giggled. How could she say no to that face.

"Maybe. We'll see." She looked up to Sora and hugged him which made him blush.

"Thank you for taking me out, Sora."

"N-no problem." He stammered. She releases the hug then waved goodbye. Sora waved back as he watches walk to her car, buckled up Ken then herself then drove out of the driveway. Aerith looked from afar and gave him a sad smile.

"Sora. I've seen that look in your eyes. You may have known this woman for two weeks but a mother can see that baby boy is in love. It's just like that same look he had for Shimi and I'm so glad he's moving on and going back to dating. Kairi, thank you for being a part of our lives. Not just Sora's but the whole Fair Family."


And that's the end of Sora and Kairi's date. I hope you enjoyed them dancing. Sorry it wasn't as long as I thought but I'm tired and want to finish this chapter. Next chapter is one us SoKai shippers will love. What will happen? You'll find out. Until then, see ya.
