Is This Just Another Lie
- Familiar Faces -
Kairi sat in her office filing the paper work as her boss had instructed. On her desk was the group picture they had all taken when they were all teenagers. She hadn't spoken to them in a long time. For some reason they had all stopped e-mailing each other at eighteen. She sighed and put the rest of the paper work in the folder.
"Ms. Shitoko!"
She stood up from her seat and scurried out of her work area and into her boss's office. "I-I have the paper work filed," Kairi replied looking at the face of her boss. Her boss intimidated her, she felt a strange urge to scream whenever he spoke to her, and she hadn't even seen his face. Yet, for some reason he seemed so familiar. "Is there a-anything else y-you wanted?"
"Yes could you be so kind to file all my other paper work?"
"Y-Yes Sir," Kairi replied picking up the large stack of papers and leaving his office to go back to her workspace. She closed the office door behind her to see Selphie leaning on the wall. "Selphie shouldn't you be at your workspace?"
Selphie rolled her eyes. "It's my break remember! You know break…wait…why are you still working?" Selphie asked eyeing the paper work she was holding.
"My boss told me to file it."
"Kairi Shitoko! Its break that boss of yours doesn't command you!" Selphie exclaimed as they walked to her workspace. Kairi chuckled setting the paper work on her desk.
"Actually I work for him so technically he does command me," Kairi replied taking a seat in her chair. "Go on you can have some fun with the other workers, I'll be fine."
Selphie stared at her friend with worried eyes. "But Kairi you look so tired, I don't want you to faint. Just take care of yourself…or better yet I'll stay and help you!" Selphie exclaimed pulling up a chair and sitting next to her auburn haired friend. Kairi shook her head. "Come on Kairi its just a little help from Selph."
"I'm sorry Selphie, just go enjoy your break I'll be fine all right? I'm a big girl…I can take care of myself," Kairi replied standing up and gently pushing Selphie towards where the exit was. "Go."
"Okay, Okay I'm going. I'll get you some lunch while I'm out," Selphie said waving to Kairi before she left the office floor. Kairi sighed and walked back to her desk and slumped into her chair. She had a lot of work to do.
Kairi are you crazy you should have taken her help! It took you hours to file that paper work last time and that was just one file! You have five now!
"Shut up," Kairi mumbled. "I just have to make this a game," Kairi replied spreading the sheets out. She began to make stacks pretending that each paper added was two points. She began laughing at herself when she made mistakes.
Sora sat at his workspace with his headphones on he was listening to his Nickelback CD. Unfortunately he couldn't enjoy his songs, because he kept hearing this annoying laughter. He took off his headphones. "Let's see what's so funny," Sora mumbled standing up and walking to the source of the laughter.
He saw a beautiful auburn haired woman filing paper work. A smile formed on his lips. He suddenly felt like a scrooge. He was about to ruin her fun just because he couldn't hear his CD clearly. He watched as she finished. She turned around to walk towards wherever she was taking the paper work and suddenly collided with Sora.
"I'm so sorry!" Sora exclaimed. Luckily most of the papers weren't scattered on the floor, somehow they had managed to stay in the folders.
"It's all right," the woman replied. She looked around and saw one of her papers a few feet away. She jumped up but something was wrong. She moaned and fell towards the ground. Sora caught her.
"Are you okay!" he exclaimed frantically shaking her. He looked around wondering what he should do. "Okay, Okay calm down Sora! Let's just sit her in her chair and gather her things." He sat the woman in her chair and quickly gathered the paper work that had fell on the ground. He put it on her desk missing the nametag that read 'Kairi Shitoko'. The woman groaned starting to wake up. Sora grinned and stared at her face. He couldn't help but feel she looked familiar.
Kairi rubbed her head and opened her amethyst eyes. She saw a brunette man staring at her. She gasped realizing that she had fainted. "Did I scare you?" she asked shakily standing up. "I'm so sorry but I have to go take these to my boss's office please excuse me." She turned to grab her paper work but Sora grabbed her wrist stopping her. She stared into his cerulean eyes.
"Please allow me to escort you I don't want you to hurt yourself," Sora replied picking up the paper work for her. Kairi nodded and stuffed the loose papers in the correct folders. "So where is your boss's office?"
"It's that room over there," Kairi replied pointing to the door. Sora nodded and started to walk towards that direction with Kairi closely behind him. She was slightly shocked that any person would be that kind to her. Something about the man seemed familiar especially his cerulean eyes. She felt like she knew him somehow.
Sora opened the door and handed the paper work to Kairi. She walked over to her boss's desk and set the paper work on his desk. Her boss mumbled an unappreciative 'thank you'. She still couldn't see his face because his chair was completely turned around. Kairi scurried out of his office and closed the door. "Not very talkative is he?" Sora joked.
Kairi giggled and shook her head. "No he just seems to give orders," she replied. "I'm sorry to be such a burden, thanks for helping me you don't know how much I appreciate it."
"Could you tell me your name?"
Kairi laughed at herself. "I'm sorry I didn't even tell you my name. I'm…Ms. Shitoko," she replied before quickly walking away from Sora. Sora scratched his head that wasn't what he meant by 'name', but he supposed that was all he was going to get for the time being.
"Riku! What do you want on your sandwich?"
Riku tapped his chin. "Umm the usual! Mustard, Lettuce, Tomato…you know Yuffie you don't have to make me a sandwich!"
"But I want too you're my husband and I want to be as wife-like as possible!" Riku popped his head in the kitchen to see Yuffie wearing a red apron while putting lettuce on a sandwich.
Riku smiled and entered the kitchen. He ambled towards Yuffie eyeing the sandwiches she was making. "You're already wife-like Yuffie," Riku replied kissing her cheek. Yuffie smiled and finished the sandwich. "Hey is that for me?"
"Nope, you can make your own, I'm already wife-like enough for you…remember?" Yuffie said putting her sandwich on a plate and exiting the kitchen laughing at Riku. Riku frowned and crossed his arms. He rolled his aquamarine eyes and grabbed the bread for his sandwich. He started cutting slices of tomato for his sandwich adapting to the strange silence in the house.
Yuna, Rikku, and Paine were out on their detective maneuvers. The three women wouldn't be back until eleven at night. Tifa had the day off, but she was hanging out in her room getting settled. Roxas was outside waiting for Naminé to show up. That pretty much left the house to Riku and Yuffie, until Axel, Tidus, and Wakka decided to pay their visit.
'It's strange how everyone ended up here somehow. Well except for Dagger, Vivi, Kairi, Selphie, Hayner, Olette, and Pence. If they were here we would have probably seen them by now anyway.'
"Riku," Roxas mumbled entering the kitchen. "I'm bored," he whined sounding like a teenager. Riku chuckled. "It's not funny! Naminé said she'd be here by now what's stalling her! What if she got hurt? Or what if she got lost and we never hear or see her again!"
"Roxas chill out," Riku said putting his sandwich on a plate. He turned away from it to see Roxas standing beside him. "Naminé can only walk but so fast, she probably is heading to the front door right now."
Roxas smiled. "Thanks Riku you're the best," he said picking up Riku's sandwich and taking a large bite out of it. "Hey this is great thanks for making it for me."
"But I-."
"Thanks pal!" Roxas said taking the plate and leaving the kitchen. Riku grumbled to himself and began making another sandwich. He pulled out the bread and once again began slicing the tomato.
Roxas took a seat on the couch and turned on the television. He took out a bite of his sandwich as he watched the screen. He was watching an episode of Family Guy. He had always enjoyed that show in fact his favorite character was Stewie. He laughed almost chocking on a piece of his sandwich.
"Roxas!"
His head jerked up to the direction where Naminé was panting. He put down his sandwich and ran over to the distraught blonde. "Naminé what's the matter?" he cooed leading her to the couch.
"T-Their c-coming!" Naminé exclaimed before fainting in Roxas's arms. Roxas growled and set her on the couch.
"Roxas!"
He turned around to see five men and a woman lurking in the doorway. Roxas ran over and grabbed the shirt of a redhead. "What did you do to her?" Roxas demanded narrowing his cerulean orbs. The redhead looked at him strangely before realizing he was taking about Naminé.
"You mean Naminé? Oh hey you can wake up now!" the redhead exclaimed. Roxas blinked seeing Naminé rise from the couch with a smile on her face. "It's just a joke man, you don't take those very well do you?"
"Who are you?" Roxas inquired keeping his eyes on the redhead. The redhead smirked narrowing his greenish-bluish eyes. "Atoka?"
Axel rolled his eyes. "And you still don't get my name right…how many years has it been Roxas? How many years?" Axel shouted. Roxas laughed nervously and ran into the kitchen where Riku had finished his sandwich and was now eating it. Axel laughed. "He still runs away like he used too."
Tifa and Yuffie ran down the stairs seeing Axel, Hayner, Wakka, Pence, Tidus, and Olette walking into their living room, along with Naminé who was sitting on the couch. "Guys!" Yuffie exclaimed sliding down the banister and falling into Wakka.
"Yuffie!" they all exclaimed running over to the blacked haired girl. Tifa walked down the stairs with a pretend pout on her face.
"No greeting for me?" he whined. "I thought you guys would have forgotten the little incident in Hawaii, who knew you all held such deep grudges." An awkward silence fell over the room before they all broke into laughter.
"It's good to see you Tifa and you too Yuffie," Olette said greeting the two women with hugs. "It's been so long." The two nodded staring at all their old friends. Riku and Roxas walked out of the kitchen to have their own little greeting. After a few minutes of hugs and laughter they all took a seat in the den.
"So you are a fashion designer now? Wow Olette," Roxas said amazed. "Well I'm a rocket scientist now!" Olette laughed remembering all the jokes that Hayner used to make about rocket scientists.
"I remember when I made fun of that career," Hayner said looking up to the ceiling as he pretended to reminiscence. "Anyway I'm in real estate and Pence is a banker."
"Cool I'm a brain surgeon!" Yuffie replied with a smile.
"You a brain surgeon I never would've guessed!" Tidus joked. Yuffie rolled her eyes playfully. "Well what are you?"
"Axel, Wakka, and I are architects. Which I don't recommend being because you have a long manual you have to read!" Tidus exclaimed. "I'm almost done with it though."
The door to the den swung open to reveal a fuming brunette man. The group blinked and stared at him wondering who he was. Except for Yuffie, Roxas, Naminé, and Riku they already knew it was Sora. "Why didn't you tell me you were having a party!" the man whined throwing his briefcase and Riku's head and hitting him in the middle of his forehead.
"Ow!" Riku exclaimed rubbing the spot it had hit before falling on the ground. Sora grinned crossing his arms and doing his triumph stand.
"Sora!"
Hayner, Pence, Tidus, Wakka, and Axel suddenly pulled sora into a tight hug. Sora blinked confused. Why were people he didn't know hugging him and how did they know his name? "Who are you?" Sora asked.
Hayner punched Sora in his arm. "Hayner remember!" he exclaimed breaking away from the hug. "I knew you weren't the brightest of people but I thought you would be able to recognize your own friend."
Sora laughed nervously. "Of course I knew who you were I was just testing you," Sora lied and Hayner stupidly bought it. The six men took a seat on the couches spreading themselves out as they continued their conversation.
Dagger breathed in the fresh Colorado air. "Isn't this great guys? We're in a new place…a new start!" she exclaimed spinning around with her hands spread out.
"Whatever," Zidane mumbled still feeling a little air sick from the plane ride. He was born a person of the ground, and he had preferred staying that way. But there was no way he was letting Dagger move off without him to be groped by guys. "Can we just get to that apartment you rented out for us?"
Dagger giggled. "Are we air sick Ziddy?" she teased poking his chest. She rolled her brown eyes and turned back around. "Taxi!" she shouted running over to man standing outside his yellow taxi.
Vivi chuckled. "She acts like this is New York City eh?" Vivi asked grabbing his bags and walking over to the Taxi Dagger had just claimed. Zidane nodded and did the same. The taxi man opened the trunk and the three dumped their suitcases in shutting it for the man since he had already gotten into the car. The three got inside the car and buckled up.
Vivi stared out the window as the buildings passed by. He was in a new place now. They wouldn't be going back home any time soon. This is the place he would be finishing school and probably spend the rest of his life. It didn't look like such a bad place, every person they passed by seemed happy. He wondered why they were so happy? The world was such a bad place how could they be so happy?
Their happiness started to sicken him. Was there not a single person that wondered about the world's end or why they even existed? Would he be alone again? Vivi let out a small exasperated sigh and turned his attention to the back of the drivers seat.
Zidane stared at Dagger as she stared out the window. Somehow he would make her his woman, but first he needed a plan. Being her friend for many years had its benefits. He was already very aware she wasn't an easy catch. She hated the cheesy pick-up lines and only wished for a genuine relationship. He could give her the relationship but he was all about the cheesy pick-up lines. How else would he have gotten five girlfriends during his freshman year?
He was unaware of Dagger's feelings towards him. All she had ever hoped for was a relationship with him. But every girl he had gotten pushed her farther and farther away. She felt as if she wasn't important to him anymore. She would just be the friend and nothing more. It made her fill with sadness. How would she make him notice her?
"So are you falling for him?" Selphie asked leaning over the dinner table.
Kairi gagged as she tried the swallow the piece of meat she had just put in her mouth. Selphie's question was so sudden. All the man did was treat her nicely that didn't automatically equal 'I love you' did it? The auburn hair finally got it down and stared at Selphie with her icy cold stare as if saying 'Does it look like it?' "Sorry Kairi I was just wondering I mean ever since we left work he's all you've been talking about."
"I'm sorry Selphie he just seemed to familiar," Kairi replied taking the last bite of her chicken. "Anyways why won't you let me wear Sora's jacket?"
Selphie banged her hand on the table. "Kairi!" she exclaimed furiously. "You need to take a break from that jacket, it may be black and everything but it doesn't match with every outfit!" Kairi laughed standing up.
"It's just a sign of affection Selph, it's not meant to match," Kairi washing her plate. She sighed. "I just miss Sora so much, there's not a single man I will fall for. That's why I will only tell them to call me Ms. Shitoko."
The brunette woman rolled her eyes stuffing her remaining chicken in her mouth. Once again Kairi was being ridiculous. What was she going to do never date until she was with Sora? She wouldn't let her friend stop living just because of some silly boy who hadn't spoken to her since they were fifteen. At least with Tidus they e-mailed everyday.
Although she had to admire Kairi as well, the auburn haired woman had been strong. Watching every friend of hers pair off with some other guy, she even attended their high school prom and watched all the other couples dance. She knew her friend was in pain but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Whatever Kairi, but anyway you need some rest I'll take care of everything I can't have you die on me!" Selphie exclaimed shooing Kairi away from the kitchen. Kairi laughed and nodded.
"I'm going," she replied walking into their bedroom where the twin beds were. She sighed and changed into her nightgown. She tucked herself into her bed and let her body rest, but her mind was still buzzing.
Kairi you know that would be a great score if you won his heart. He seemed like a nice enough man…and why didn't you get his name? Crazy! Now I'm never shutting up and you won't get any sleep until you get his name!
Anti-Kairi stayed true to what she said. Kairi didn't get any sleep with her other side continually talking away. It was a rough night and Kairi woke up tired. She even had bags under her eyes from lack of sleep. This made Selphie worry about her health. Kairi was easily fatigued if she didn't get her rest something bad could happen.
Kairi covered her signs of fatigue with make-up and quickly rushed to the door. If Selphie and her didn't get to work quickly they would be late. "Hurry up Selph!" Kairi exclaimed walking the petite brunette woman grab her purse and briefcase.
"I'm coming!" she replied running towards the door. "Let's go!" she squealed.
Yuna, Rikku, and Paine watched as their friends rushed to get ready for work. The lucky women didn't have to start work until one in the afternoon so they avoided the morning rush. "This is entertaining," Paine stated watching Roxas trip down the stairs.
"Breakfast and a show," Rikku laughed watching as Yuffie slid down the banister and fall onto Roxas knocking him down onto Tifa and making her fall onto the ground. Rikku giggled as she stuffed some pancakes in her mouth.
"Oh shut up," Yuffie grumbled removing herself from Roxas's back. "I'm sorry Roxas are you all right?" The blonde man nodded and removed himself from the floor. "Hurry up Riku, Sora!"
The albino haired man trotted down the stairs unlike Sora who jumped down. The brunette man was going to be late if he didn't hurry. "Let's go," he said before waving to the three women seated on the couch. "See you later."
"Bye!" Yuna, Rikku, and Paine said watching the five leave through the door.
"Good to see you again boys," Lulu said waving at Wakka, Axel, and Tidus. "Are you ready for some real work instead of watching all of the other members design?"
"Yes!" Axel exclaimed rubbing his hands together. "So what do we get to do?" he asked ready for anything.
Lulu chuckled. "You get to do the janitors job since he's out sick, your supplies are in the broom closet. If you do your job well there will be rewards. Well have fun," Lulu said before walking away.
Tidus sighed. "Man all we do is file paper work or clean bathrooms!" he exclaimed walking over to the broom closet. "I thought this job would be fun, I didn't sign up to be a replacement for the janitor."
"But she said there will be rewards," Wakka stated following the furious blonde man. "Maybe we'll get a larger pay check! And I can get some pizza."
Axel rolled his eyes. "Whatever her big reward is I hope it's good," he stated pulling a mop and a bucket out of the closet. "I get the mop the floors this time there's no way I'm cleaning the toilets again I'll tell you that."
"Yeah and I'll clean the sinks, Tidus can have the toilets besides they've been eyeing him," Wakka joked grabbing a sponge, rubber gloves, and cleaning supplies from the broom closet. Tidus glared at the other men grumbling to himself.
The toilets were his nightmare come to life. They were always dirty and had this brown sludge plastered on the toilet bowl. Tidus could have sworn he saw it moving last time he got cheated into cleaning it. Not to mention the mold growing on the toilet seat. Who in their right mind would want to use the bathroom at this place?
The three men started their jobs. There were six sinks that Wakka had to clean, Axel just had the entire floor to mop, and Tidus had six toilets to beautify. Or at least he would try to beautify them. Tidus gulped opening the first stall door. The first toilet was surprisingly clean, although it was the last stall he was worried about. It was rumored to be the nastiest toilet in the building. The rumor was a food-poisoned man sat on the toilet and it all just came out and splattered on the walls and floors. It was so digusting that the janitors didn't even dare to go into that stall.
Axel's mopping was going well. He had always enjoyed it. He had made it an art for himself. Back home his mom would always let him mop because he was so good at it. If Axel had chosen to become a janitor he would have been the best, but he chose the road of an architect not expecting that his cleaning skills would come in handy.
Wakka grinned. He had gotten himself the easiest job. The sinks were the cleanest things in the bathroom. They were always so shiny and white; he was amazed that they shined in the light unlike the other objects in the room. Lucky for him his companions hadn't noticed that about the bathroom. He was so happy that he had such a keen eye for things like that.
Break time came once again and Kairi was stuck with more work. Selphie was once again told to leave and Sora stayed behind again to catch up on his work. The brunette man was curious. Yesterday he had noticed something familiar about that woman, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He wanted to know her first name but it seemed that she would never tell him that.
He peered out of his workspace to see her come out of her boss's office with more paper work. He grinned. "Hey!" he called jumping out of his chair and running over to the woman. She looked up and smiled at him.
"Why aren't you out on your break?" she asked setting the paper work neatly on her desk.
"I'm catching up on my paper work, does your boss always keep you this busy Miss Shitoko?" Sora joked.
Kairi laughed. "Yes apparently he does," she replied sitting down in her chair. "But since it's my right to have a break I guess I could take a small breather…do you want to talk?" she asked.
"S-Sure!" Sora replied pulling up a chair.
"I never got your name," Kairi said studying the brunette. There was something familiar about this man. She felt as if she knew him, what was his name? She had to know.
"Umm just call me Mr. Zizurri."
A/N: Here's the third chapter! Another long one, but this one is only ten pages in Microsoft Word because I felt like ending it there. Do you think Kairi will recognize his last name? She might, she might not you won't know until I write and submit the next chapter! I would call it irony but I don't think that fits the situation.
