A/N: Sorry for making you all wait so long. I've actually managed to take my small breather. Of course it was spent with hours of Kingdom Hearts bashing. Lol, it really helps when you take the stress out on heartless and nobodies.

Is This Just Another Lie?

- Hooky -

"So Kairi what do you say I escort you home?" Sora asked staring at the auburn haired woman. Kairi nodded slipping her hand into his. He blushed looking away. Kairi rolled her eyes. Sora was still as bashful as ever unless he was trying to impersonate a sexual predator.

Sora led Kairi out of the door and the two started to walk down the street side-by-side. Something Kairi thought she would never be able to do with him again. "So Sora," Kairi started to say. Sora looked at her. "Meet any other women that you find to your liking."

The brunette man frowned, but it was soon replaced with a sly grin. "Yeah I have." Kairi looked up with the most sad and heartbroken expression. "She has auburn hair and the most dazzling amethyst eyes I've ever seen. She's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen." Kairi sighed.

"She must be great," she pouted not catching on to what Sora was trying to say. "I-." Sora jumped in front of her putting a finger on her mouth.

He laughed. "Wow Kairi you know whatever happened to that smart girl? It just looks like you've gotten stupid…is it really that hard to tell that I'm describing you?" Sora asked pressing his forehead onto hers. Kairi blushed and looked away from Sora's eyes.

"You aren't very good at describing things," she muttered feeling a little embarrassed. Sora grinned and picked her up slinging her body over his shoulder. Kairi yelped feeling pain in her abdomen. "Sora!" she shouted banging her fists onto his back.

Sora laughed. "You'll have to hit harder than that Kairi," he replied. Kairi kept beating on his back trying to get him to let go of her but he was too strong for her. She panted finally giving up. Sora chuckled. "Looks like your mine for the day then." Kairi rolled her eyes sticking her tongue out at him, but he couldn't see.

"Where are you taking me? And what happened to taking me home?" she questioned trying to shift her body into a more comfortable spot.

"It's a surprise," Sora replied waving at the people who stared at them as they walked down the street. Nothing was going to ruin his day. He had finally found Kairi again and now they were going to ditch work and spend an entire day together.

Kairi whined. "Sora you know I have work to do," she mumbled.

Sora shifted her body roughly causing her to hit her head on his back. "Sora!" she shouted frowning at the back of his spiky head.

He laughed. "That's what'll happen if you mention work, we're going to play hooky today Kairi!" he laughed. Kairi let out a small squeak of disapproval. She had way too much work to do; she couldn't afford to play hooky. What would Cid think? Then again why did she even care, Cid was being very unreasonable. Of course he was always unreasonable…he was trying to kill them all.

Sora started to run down the sidewalk making poor Kairi bounce up and down on his shoulder. She whined feeling more pain in her abdomen. She now regretted letting Selphie talk her into wearing a mini skirt, maybe if she was lucky Sora wouldn't notice. "Hey Kairi I never thought you would be the one to wear such a nice…short skirt."

Kairi turned red. "Stop being a pervert Sora," she scolded covering her face with her left hand. Kairi sighed. "Sora could you please put me down."

"No you might escape," Sora replied turning the corner.

"Okay could you hold me in a different position then?"

"But were here." Kairi lifted her upper body to catch a glimpse of glass double doors. "Table for two please." She could hear a mocking cough before Sora stepped through another pair of double doors. She looked around and saw fancy rich people either staring at her and Sora with wide eyes or spitting their tea out on somebody's face.

Kairi buried her face in her hands. Sora wasn't the classy type was he? He sat her down in the booth and then took a seat across from her. Kairi glared at him crossing her arms. Sora rubbed the back of his neck. "Umm what?"

"You know very well why I'm angry at you Sora Zizurri," Kairi muttered. She sighed. "So goodbye." She stood up and turned to leave but Sora grabbed her arm.

"Kairi wait."

"What?" She kept her arms crossed and refused to make eye contact with the pleading brunette man. Sora wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and set his head on her shoulder.

"Please stay Kairi," Sora whispered into her ear. Kairi blushed but stayed true to herself. She shook her head closing her eyes. "But Kairi you have to stay," he whispered again. Kairi shuddered feeling his finger run down her spine, what was he trying to do? Seduce her? Well it wasn't going to work.

-------------------

"So Kairi how do you like your meal?" Sora asked staring at Kairi as she ate her food.

"It's okay," she mumbled with a small smile. She had fallen for his little seductive trick. Sora grinned.

"Good work girls you have to day off."

Rikku jumped up and down happily. "We have the day off!" she chanted grabbing Yuna's hands and dancing around in a circle. Yuna laughed as Rikku's glee spread onto her like a virus. Paine rolled her eyes.

"Not to ruin this joyous moment, but shouldn't we be getting home?" Paine asked. Rikku nodded.

"Let's go home," Yuna said grabbing her jacket. "I'll meet you guys at the door," she said before leaving the room. Rikku grabbed her work papers; she had to file some paper work on Cid Highwind. She would do it at home since they had the day off. Paine simply grabbed her jacket and walked down the hallway without a word.

Olette finished her new outfit outline. "Yes! All done now to take these blueprints to the manager!" Olette exclaimed jumping out of her chair and grabbing her papers. She dashed out of her office to go find the manager.

Instead of finding the manager she bumped into Naminé. "Oh sorry Namie," Olette said using her nickname. Naminé smiled trying to pretend that she hadn't been traumatized today. "You know the manager was wondering why you weren't on time today."

"Oh, I just had a little intimacy problem nothing you should be worried about," she replied smiling half-heartedly.

"Did you and Roxas do something?"

"No, Roxas saved me." Olette was silent. She didn't exactly know how to reply. "Well if you excuse me I'll be going to my desk now." Olette nodded and watched as her blonde friend disappeared around the corner.

"Saved her from what?"

Selphie exited her work building on her way home. She still hadn't seen Sora or Kairi. She was beginning to get worried. What if aliens abducted them both? Okay maybe her imagination was running loose, but she was certain something was up.

"What's wrong Selph?"

Selphie screamed jumping back. Tidus blinked watching his fiancé get into battle stance. "Oh it's just you," she laughed patting his shoulder. Tidus tilted his head to the left. "I'm sorry I'm jumpy it's just that Sora and Kairi have disappeared from work today so I was thinking I was next."

Tidus laughed. "I'm sure they just played hooky or something," Tidus said putting his arm around Selphie's shoulder as they walked down the sidewalk.

"But Kairi wouldn't ditch work."

Tidus shrugged. "You never know, Sora might have convinced her…or he could've just kidnapped her." Selphie laughed at the thought of Sora kidnapping Kairi. Kairi was much more intelligent than him, she would probably seduce him and make him let her go. Though she didn't know Sora was the one doing the seducing.

Kairi blushed. "Sora stop," she pleaded trying to get out of the mans grasp. She frowned sticking out her lower lip. She was supposed to be on her way home from work right now, but instead Sora had made her play hooky. "I really need to go now."

Sora rested his head on her shoulder. "Don't leave Kairi I'll bet you haven't even enjoyed the view," Sora whispered.

"What view do you mean? You or the waterfall?" Kairi retorted.

"Both." Kairi blushed again. Sora was trying way to hard to arouse her, and the sad part was that it was working. She shook her head and removed herself from his lap. Sora pouted jumping to his feet. "Kairi you are ruining the moment."

Kairi stuck out her tongue. "I need to get home, Selphie's probably worried," Kairi replied. "She might think I passed out somewhere." Sora pulled out his cell phone and started to type something onto the screen. Kairi raised an eyebrow. "Sora what're you doing?"

"Just text messaging Selphie."

"Sora!" She ran over to Sora to see what he was typing into the phone.

Hello Selph, this is Sora. Don't worry about Kairi she's with me. So don't wait up for us (winking smiley) See you!

Kairi growled. "Sora you better not send that!" Kairi exclaimed. Sora stuck out his tongue playfully.

"Oh but I am!" he exclaimed pushing the send button. Kairi's eyes widened. She couldn't believe he gave Selphie that impression. "Kairi what are you so afraid of? It's just one night that we'll get to spend together! Unless…you don't want to spend time with me," Sora said whispering the last sentence sadly.

"No! Sora I'd love to spend time with you but I have things to do," Kairi replied grabbing his face forcing him to look at her. "But right now I just have so many things to do. You have to understand Sora I can't spend everyday with you."

Sora sighed. "But work would be over by now, why do you want to run away?" he asked a sad expression appearing on his face.

Kairi smiled sadly. "Sora…I'm just scared."

Sora raised an eyebrow. "Scared of what Kairi? It's just you and me…well and the waterfall but it doesn't bite."

Kairi laughed. "I don't want you to get hurt Sora, I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt because of me," Kairi said turning away. Sora hugged her from behind.

"Kairi, nothings going to happen. Nothing will happen to me, you, or anyone else," Sora said grinning. "Besides what gave you the idea that I would be hurt if I hung around you anyway?"

"Cid."

Sora looked around. "Where's Cid I'll kill him!" he exclaimed balling his fists. Kairi laughed shaking her head.

"He's not here silly he's my boss."

"What!" Sora exclaimed. His jaw hung open. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Cid was Kairi's boss? How did he get out of prison, and what did this all mean? "Kairi how is Cid your boss he's supposed to be locked away forever."

Kairi sighed. "I don't know what he's up too but he said he was going to kill us all," Kairi whispered looking at the ground. "I don't want anyone getting hurt."

Sora held Kairi protectively. "I won't let anything happen to you Kairi or anyone else," Sora said with a grin. "Besides you know I'm too great to be slain by Cid. He has no coordination anyway." Kairi nodded remembering the time they all beat him up in the forest. She had really enjoyed that.

"Now come on Kairi we're going to go for a swim!" Sora exclaimed picking up Kairi bridal style and running to the edge of the cliff. Kairi's eyes widened. Sora wasn't really about to jump off the edge was he? Sure the cliff wasn't that high up but still he wasn't that stupid was he?

"Sora," Kairi gasped. Sora jumped off the edge. Kairi screamed hugging Sora for dear life. They fell into the water making a large splash. Sora swam back up to the surface with Kairi clutching onto his shirt. He grinned shaking his head spraying water everywhere. "Sora you are crazy!"

"I know," Sora replied hugging her. Kairi whimpered and buried her head in his wet shirt. Sora blinked. "What's wrong Kairi?"

"I don't know how to swim," she replied. Sora smirked and moved away from Kairi. Kairi screamed trying her best to stay above the water. She looked around and saw that Sora had disappeared. "So—ra…this…..isn't…fun-funny!" she shouted. Something wrapped around her ankle and jerked her under the water.

Sora grinned at her. Kairi frowned gripping his waist like there was no tomorrow. Sora rolled his cerulean eyes and started to spin around in the water. Kairi looked up at him wondering what he was doing. Sora grinned at her and began his water dance.

"Sora what're you doing?" Kairi asked covering her mouth. "Hey I can speak underwater?"

Sora nodded and laced his fingers with hers. "It's a special talent," Sora whispered pressing his forehead against hers. "We can stay underwater and dance forever. Just you and me." Kairi blushed being spun around.

Sora kissed her neck making her turn a deep shade of crimson. "I love you Kairi," Sora whispered before pulling Kairi into a kiss. Kairi smiled and closed her eyes. But the kiss was over soon only to reveal a frantic Sora. "Kairi! Live!"

Kairi blinked raising an eyebrow. She suddenly felt some unknown force delivering sharp blows to her chest.

Kairi opened her eyes to see that she wasn't underwater, she was on the bank…and Sora was pounding on her chest. "Sora?" she called weakly. Sora's eyes brightened. He pulled Kairi into a tight hug.

"I thought you were gone forever!" Sora exclaimed squeezing Kairi. Kairi smiled still a little confused about what had happened.

"W-What happened to me?" she asked confused.

Sora let go of her. "Well the current pushed me back forcing me to let go of you, then you started to drown, but before I could get to you, you went below and then I saved you brought you to the bank and tried to perform CPR," Sora explained.

Kairi stood up looking at her drenched clothing. "I guess I should go home before I catch a cold being in these wet clothes," Kairi said. Sora stood up and nodded.

"Let's go," Sora said grabbing Kairi's hand.

Olette was washing the dinner dishes happily. Pence and Hayner were in the living room watching the football game on television. They insisted that they would pay Olette for doing the dishes but she was very aware all she would get was an I.O.U card. Soon enough she broke into song.

I'm cute yes it's true

I really can't help it but what can I do

When you're cute it just shows

With these two darling eyes and this cute little nose

And a pretty pink dress that's adorable yes

And when they see my dimples then everyone says

"Ah shoot isn't she cute"

Pence and Hayner heard singing coming from the kitchen. They looked at each other. Olette had broken out into song again. Hayner and Pence poked their heads into the doorway. They snickered; they would be joining in this musical act.

Hayner and Pence

Cute, cute, cute oh isn't she cute, cute, cute

Olette

I'm the one they adore

I'm sweet and I'm cuddly and small

--- just like Pence but more (Pence frowned hearing Olette pick on him)

It's a chore

To be constantly cute and enchanting to boot

With my lips sticking out in that cute little pout

There's just no doubt why the guys like to shout

Hayner

She's a beaut

Olette

Let's face it I'm cute

Hayner and Pence

Cute, cute oh baby she's cute, cute, cute

Olette

Being cute is something you can't hide

If you look up the word in a book there's my picture inside

T.V. guide

Has me on the cover (Hayner and Pence looked at each other. They were both annoyed at Olette)

Hayner and Pence

Don't you just love her?

Olette

I'm simply a goddess

Pence

And isn't she modest?

Olette

I'm the answer to one of the questions in trivial pursuit

For who's the most cute

Hayner and Pence

Cute, cute oh isn't she cute, cute, cute

Olette

I'm cute, and I'm sweet, and I'm innocent

And so trusting

Hayner and Pence

If you want our opinion this song is becoming disgusting

Olette

I'm cute

Hayner and Pence

(They frowned. After hearing all this cuteness they were getting angry)

So what!

Olette

I'm never in vain-

Hayner

She's becoming a pain in the-

Olette

But I'm also real nice!

On the dot through and through

Hayner and Pence

So big whoop-de-do

Olette

I'm sweet and adoring

Hayner and Pence

And also real boring and that's why were snoring at you

Olette was getting angry with her friends. She turned around and threw the spatula at Pence making him yelp. "That's it!" she shouted balling her fists. She pointed at Hayner and Pence. "You ruined my entire cute song! I am angry! I am furious! I am enraged! I have had it!" Olette panted trying to calm herself down.

Hayner chuckled nervously. She always got this way when they ruined her song. "You're awfully cute when you're angry," Hayner said staring at Olette.

She looked up. "You really think so?" Hayner and Pence quickly nodded. Olette smiled and walked over to her friends.

"Have fun doing the dishes!" she said running out of the kitchen.

A/N: And there's your update! It took me all day but I got it done and it's not even midnight! It's just ten! Go Aerith! Anyway once again sorry for taking so long with this chapter and all my other fan-fictions if you read them. I made it nine pages long in Word so I hope you also had fun reading. Oh and the song at the end was 'The Cute Song' from animemaniacs. So I didn't make it up.
