Hey everyone,
I'm going to be honest, when I create an OC that I want to dislike or hate, I usually go for those blonde, super-rich, one-track mind and utterly stubborn kind of bitches. And while I may not have them all be blonde in hair, they are usually of that stereotype. And just a head's up to you all, this lot is definitely going to define that stereotype down to a T. I have nothing against them, they're useful, especially for stories like these.
Let's have fun,

PS. Yes, I guess you can compare them to how most people write Ron Weasley when they want to bash him senseless.


Chapter 04
Problems Solved

Sora's POV

I already made sure to drop my stuff off at mum's and now I'm rushing for Riku's, rage, annoyance, anger and a need to vent running through my system and my teeth hurting from how much I keep grinding them just to keep my emotions from overwhelming me. Riku seems to have spotted me as he awaits me at the door, yet I only snap: "You, me, the old usual on the back of the island, now!"
Riku looks startled, but nods and follows me as I head for the coast. Yet because of what happened a few days ago, do I not feel like swimming, even if I'm sure that will make me reach the island faster. Instead, I just head for my boat and snarl: "Wind!" Not even bothering with my peddle as I just let the element push my boat forward, straight for the play island.
I reach the docks and make sure that my boat is secured against it before jumping on and spotting Riku using his Keyblade to paddle. This slightly amuses me as he must have grown too strong for his peddle to work, yet then I focus back on the island and head for the other side. Kairi spots me and follows me, a look of concern on her face as she must have noticed my barely restrained rage.

I take my place at where we always start our usual races, before everything went south thanks to Ansem and Kairi seems to instantly get what I'm doing as she does the same, Riku following our example shortly afterwards and not even bothering to ask what the reward might be. I feel grateful for that and mutter: "Ten laps. No Keyblade, no gliding or flying, no ramp. Just running and jumping."
Riku nods, Kairi counts down and the two of us start to run. I rush over the ramps, past the slide and over to the wall that has the star-shaped plant on it, jumping from platform to platform to reach it, touching it to make it glow and then jumping from one tree to the next to reach the raised bit of earth and the ramps again.
This goes on for ten rounds, Riku catching up with me for a few, but my annoyance and anger making me leave him in my shadow for most of the rounds. And still, by the time that we reach ten laps, do I not only feel like I've run off all of my negative emotions, I also feel exhausted for the first time since my battle with Xemnas in the made-up World That Never Was.

"So, what had you so riled up?" Riku asks, panting a little himself, but not crouched down and leaning on his knees like I am. "I was – at the mall – getting the – the last of our – supplies and – and wanting to make that – that reservation at the – the restaurant. But – Jessica and her – her damned posy were – were there as – as well. And they – they kept – kept talking about – you."
Riku smirks and asks: "You got scared and then furious?" I shake my head, feeling some of my energy restore itself and stand up as I say: "No, you proved me I didn't have to be afraid like that anymore, trust me. No, it – it wasn't that they were talking about you, it was what they were saying about you. They just – they had no respect for you whatsoever. You're not a potential boyfriend to them, but a potential boy-toy; just a means to an end.
I couldn't stand it and I knew I would hurt them if I used the Keyblade – like, really hurt them – so I tried to escape them by heading into the kid's store. But they were there too and they were just the worst. I left, because I knew that, if I didn't, I might burn the whole mall down – or worse. Ugh, I haven't felt so angry with someone in ages." I rage at the end, but Riku says:

"Sora, stop it. It's fine. I don't care about those girls.""But I care about you. And to hear what they said after everything you've done for them, for the island, I just couldn't stand it." Kairi sighs and says: "He's not wrong, you know. I hear it all the time when Selphie and I go shopping together. Those girls are just the worst. And they have a few guys in their group, too. Those are just as bad. You should hear what some of those guys say about their daddies."
"The usual, then. Are they really that bad? Wait, isn't that the whole reason our mums aren't letting us go to school?" Riku asks and I laugh as I say: "No, that's because we proved we learn way more about what it means to be independent adults while playing on the islands. That's why the headmaster agreed to let us drop out of school a year before we started traveling." Yet I still feel grateful as the boy's comment helped me take my mind off my anger.
"Feeling better? Good, and don't worry about that reservation. I forgot to tell you back last Sunday, but mum already took care of that. She promised me when I spoke with her about moving out and got it all arranged on Wednesday. We have a private room with a doorkeeper to keep girls like that out and enough space at the table for multiple friends. Tidus, Wakka and Selphie have already been invited."

The boy comes closer and rubs a hand down my face as I say: "Sorry I didn't tell you, it slipped my mind on Thursday after we had so much fun on the beach together. Your hot body was just too much for me to resist and my mind wandered elsewhere. You just have that kind of effect on me." I turn red at this, but smile and say: "That's okay, I didn't manage to get to the restaurant anyway.
Those girls pissed me off too much before I got there. I swear the only place they weren't at was the liquor store and there was no way I was going in there, so I just did the next best thing." I sigh and mutter: "Still, those girls didn't just piss me off with how they little they respected you, they outright disrespected everything you are; the only thing they kept talking about is – down there."
Riku stares at me flatly over this and I shrug as I growl: "I'd be disrespecting it myself if I said it in any other way, especially the ways they were talking. Ugh, just thinking about it pisses me off. I'm sorry, Riku, I can't let it go. They were dissing my boyfriend, I can't let them get away with that."

"What are you planning to do about it, Sora?" Kairi asks and goes on: "You said it yourself, you can't use the Keyblade on them. Just the softest hit on them will break a bone or two. Trust me, I tried. I heard them dissing the both of you while you were in your Mark of Mastery and summoned my own. Even when holding back I landed them in the hospital for a day."
I growl at this as it just further proves that our strength far exceeds theirs, but then my mind catches up with my own thoughts as I mutter: "We can't hurt them – but we can scare them off. Show them what that – sorry – hunk of growing flesh – is actually made of. And prove that his boyfriend deserves to be by his side, while we're at it.""You and me, huh?" Riku asks and grins as he says:
"Sounds good. I was hoping for a bit of a struggle before we left. Was kind of thinking of offering up a bit of training for the two of us before dinner tomorrow." "Then why wait? Kairi, do you think your dad could get those dimwits on boats to surround the Island? I'm sure the beach here should be large enough to fit us in our fight." The girl nods and says: "Give me an hour. You two get ready."

An hour later

The mayor actually brought out a whole set of floatable platforms that were carried from the main island to the play one by various boats and rafts, shipped by the men working for Kairi's adoptive father. Kairi herself even advertised the fight and somehow got all of Jessica's posy of friends – or what she calls her friends – to come watch. I don't know how and I don't care.
Riku actually changed his looks back into the outfit I love so much, but he also donned the cloak he wore while helping DiZ keep an eye on me. "To make sure my looks don't cause you too much distraction. We want this to work, so we need to be focused, both of us. Which is why I'm glad you decided to wear baggy cloths again." Riku had told me as form of explanation.
I had rolled my eyes and asked: "Gee, I wonder what could have caused me to decide on that.""Make another comment like that and I might go back on my own words of that day, Sora." Riku had warned me and I had turned red and spluttered a little. But now, with the crowd around us and Riku in front of me, I'm ready to get this done. I feel really fired up over the fact I had to fight my boyfriend again.

"Okay now, let me get a few things straight. Half this island knows what Sora and Riku have done for us and the other worlds out there. Basically everyone on the island knows just how close they are and the fact that they've been dating for some time has been going around like wildfire. So why some people still have the braindead idea to insult them and their bond, I really don't understand.
But, words of those insults reached both of them one too many times and they're sick of it. And if whoever was brainless enough to come up with this scheme thought it would break them apart, think again. You just made them appreciate each other all the more, rely on each other all the more. And now, they're going to show you why messing with them – is a bad idea. Boys?"

Kairi asks, sounding sweeter than chocolate at the end and the two of us smirk as I ask: "No holding back?""All is fair in love and war.""No taking that back later." I say as I call forth on both Oathkeeper and Olympia, startling a lot of people who are watching us from the platforms. Riku's eyes also widen, but then his grin turns into a smirk and he says: "Have it your way. Bring it on, Sora."
And he launches a fireball of dark energy at me. I deflect it with my Keyblade and charge at him, Riku charging at me at the same time. We clash and while I am close enough to feel his breath on my cheek, do I keep my focus on what we're doing here. Riku, even though I have the upper hand with two blades, manages to push me back and then charges at me again.

Kairi's POV

I shake my head at the two as they struggle against each other, Riku using the full power of the form he summoned upon himself earlier and the durability of his cloak for defense and Sora using both Keyblades to their full potential, blocking Riku's dark energy attacks with one and striking him with his own elemental attacks with the other, even though Riku even manages to break through Stopga.
"How are they doing this? They should have broken half the bones in their system by now. How are they still fighting?" Some of the people around me ask and then Selphie notices that I am just leaning against the side of one of the boats with my arms crossed in a lazy position. "Kairi?" The girl asks and I sigh as I mutter: "Better get ready, looks like they're about done warming up."
"WARMING UP!" The girl shrieks, turning back at Sora and Riku, just as Sora summons Tinker Bell and asks her to cover them both in Pixie Dust. The pixie seems to hesitate with Riku, but Sora reassures her and after they get sprinkled, do they take to the sky, causing even more jaws to drop. The Pixie then rushes for me and seems to ask me a question, but I shake my head and thank her.

Sora and Riku seem to hold a bit of a break and a conversation between each other and then suddenly Riku phases out, reappearing above Sora and striking him hard enough Sora is launched to the ground. Yet Sora himself recovers just in time and stays afloat a little bit above the ground before flying back up, striking Riku hard and fast in retaliation before the two commence their fight.
And this time it's much more obvious that they're fighting for real as their speed in everything, movement, reflexes, dodging, casting magic and creating shields, has increased in tenfold, making some people on the platforms actually have trouble keeping up with the two, who are now almost only visible through the attacks that they either parry or land on the other.

"How? How are they doing this?" Jessica shrieks and I smirk as that is exactly what we wanted. And the fact that the girl is so obviously trying to hide her fear behind a mask of annoyance just makes it all the better. "Sora, Riku and I are chosen wielders of the Keyblade, the most powerful weapon in the universe. Trust me, judging them on looks alone was your biggest mistake ever."
I turn to the girl, who is glaring at me and I say: "I'm the mayor's daughter and yet I'm kind and gentle. You're a daddy's girl who is living off of her family fortune, which I heard from some of my father's workers has been decreasing lately, and yet you're practically a Heartless. Really proves that character can surpass riches, fame and everything else, doesn't it?" I then turn back to the fight, but keep my attention on the girl as I ask:
"And besides, when was the last time you ever saw Riku act up on the popularity you rich girls all give him just because he has those looks? You and I both know the answer is never, so why you thought insulting him in front of Sora, who we all know has a heart of gold and the drive to protect his friends no matter what, just doesn't make any sense, Jessica. You were wasting your time, really."
I smirk and say: "Though I do feel I should thank you. I haven't seen my friends have so much fun going all out on a spar in a while. I do see them happy and content with each other all the time, but haven't seen them this satisfied in a while. And all because you tried the impossible. Heh, oh well, I've seen crazier miracles be pulled off before, I guess."

"I can't believe you approve of this, Kairi. That stupid Sora turned hot stuff Riku into an outright freak!" Shirley shrieks, actually louder than most of the crowd, which has gotten over their shock and are now cheering my friends on. But then the crowd quiets down and I can see why, wincing as I spot Sora, who is afloat just a few feet above the ground and whose body is stiff as a board.
I shake my head and think: "Don't lose it, Sora. You're so close. You're proving them wrong. Don't lose it now." And Riku seems to have realized the same as he mutters: "Training is over." He pulls off the cloak in the same way he did after Ansem the Wise cured him and rushes for Sora, pinning him onto the beach under him. And the reason why becomes obvious only a second later.

Riku locks his lips with Sora yet again as he grabs Sora's wrists and moves them, putting Sora's left on his right arm bicep and his right on the small of his back. Sora recovers and moans as he starts to run his fingers over the lines on Riku's outfit, while Riku slowly but surely uses the tip of his Keyblade to tear through Sora's shirt, revealing skin that is hidden from sight by the sand.
Riku then pushes Sora even further down, causing for a crater to appear around them that hides Sora from sight and makes it so that we can only see Riku as well as Sora's hands still roaming over his body. I smirk at this and then father says: "Alright, show's over. I hope the fools who caused this have learned their lesson. Don't mess with those two, no one here is a match for them."
And with a few hand signals does dad make the shipmen ride the boats and rafts away from the play Islands, allowing Sora and Riku some time to themselves. And while I normally would have jumped into the water and swum over to join them, do I know they will just curse me for it later if I do. And so I just enjoy the ride as daddy floats us back to the Main Island.


Okay, it's official,
You can consider that kind of flirting and hinting at them making out like that part of this story. I can't help it! Somehow, I manage to implant it into every single chapter, no matter how hard I try to focus on other stuff. Though I'm almost 88% confident that there won't be – too much – of those mentions in the upcoming chapter, which will be about the going away dinner party.
Let's hope so,
