A/N:!!BEFORE YOU READ!! I have a feeling everyone is going to thoroughly enjoy this chapter. I mean, really. Think of it as a thanks for reaching 100 reviews. But I don't want no younguns reading the last part of the chapter because it's graphic and I don't want to be the reason they ask their parents about sex. Anyway, enjoy. UPDATED: In case no one has noticed, I have been revising Mine: Body and Soul and have even renamed it. The revisions have been subtle and you might not notice any change, but this chapter has had some MAJOR changes. Before it wasn't as explicit as some might have wanted but now I think I have outdone myself! Lol. But besides that, the revision in this chapter has a major effect on the plot so disregard the three chapters that appear after this one until they have been revised. Thanks and the aforementioned warning is still in effect.

Chapter 9: Everyone Gets Their Just Desserts

Part I: Yours and Mine Are One

Namine didn't talk to me at all once we got back home. She didn't talk to me during the trip home either. Not one word. I didn't know what I really expected after telling her. Did I honestly think she'd understand? Sora was her boyfriend and had been for six years. Six whole years together only to for her to find out that during those six years, her man was secretly yearning for another, her own sister.

Of course, she was only faithful for three of those years with the probability of less than that. I didn't really know when she had started messing around with Riku on the side, but the simple fact that she had been messing around at all had to be taken into account. She was just as awful as Sora was. Still, I didn't want my sister hating me. I hoped she'd realize that none of this was my fault.

The next day, we still weren't talking and I noticed that Namine's once infamous spunk was now diminished as she sat at the table, seemingly engrossed in the newspaper. Her blue eyes traveled back and forth as she read the information, but the lack of the spirit that once made her eyes twinkle made me think that she wasn't really reading for comprehension or even enjoyment. It seemed like she was just trying to appear busy.

"So, what are you guys going to be doing over the break?" My father asked. He was situated between my sister and me. When we didn't answer right away, he rolled his eyes and directed his gaze to Rikku.

"Rikku? What are you going to be doing? Do you need us to buy you ticket to get back to Al Bhed?" Rikku shook her head.

"My dad sent me a letter the other day. He doesn't want me to come visit with him. He thinks it'll kill my vigor for the holiday season… But, I am planning a surprise for him! Can you help me with that Mr. Rufus?"

"Of course, why not? Is that all?"

"No. I'll be practicing with the Blitzball Team at school since I just joined the team and we're going to enter the tournaments." My dad's face lit up and he leaned across the table nearer to her.

"You don't say! I never took you for the sporty type Rikku! And the tournaments? Wow. Looks like that team is finally starting to shape up. Do you think you guys can make it to nationals?"

"Let's not get our hopes up too high dad," I interrupted. Both he and Rikku gave me grim looks.

"Well, now that I've got you talking, what are you going to be doing? I'm not letting you or Namine just sit around the house." I rolled my eyes. Since when was he or my mother even interested in the things Namine and I did? Some shit happens and they think that now's the time to step up their game huh? Bullshit.

"I've got a job," that was the only thing I felt like disclosing to him. He continued his scrutinizing glare as though beckoning me to continue. I shrugged.

"Kairi, what is this job exactly?" My mother asked. I stuffed my mouth full of toast.

"Mm mamy itting mor my mend!" I claimed with a mouth full of food. My parents looked disgusted.

"That's nice honey. What about you Namine? Or will you just be spending time with Sora? Huh?" My dad elbowed her and raised his eye brows suggestively. My sister smiled sweetly and said, "…We broke up." I felt my jaw detach itself so far from my face that my bottom lip hit the table. Of course I was only exaggerating, but I was shocked as much. When did that happen? My parents exchanged looks.

"Uh… really? When did this happen?" My mother inquired, voicing the question that seemed to be plaguing everyone's minds. I waited to hear Namine's answer.

"Yesterday," was her one word reply. I looked at Rikku who looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. My mother laid a delicate hand on Namine's shoulder and asked, "Are you alright? I know how close you two were." Namine's eyes shone and I saw tears leak from the corner of her eyes.

"We weren't really close at all…," she breathed. Rising from her seat, and still refusing to look at me she said, "Excuse me. I'm going to my room now…" And she left, walking with a slight haunch in her back and her head down cast. I never saw her so down before.

"Oh Rufus…"

"I know. Maybe I'll talk to Sora about it. I mean, all these years and now that I'm just starting to accept them as a couple, he does this! What's the matter with that kid?" What was the matter with us all?

I knew I couldn't let things with my sister stay the way they were. We needed compromise. So, I knocked on her door and waited.

"Who is it?" Her voice was small and I inhaled before answering.

"It's me. Can I talk with you?" No answer.

"Ne'. It's me, your sister. Please. We need to talk. Open the door," I said. After a few unbearable minutes of anxiety, I heard the lock on Namine's door click and she opened the door. She stood in the doorway with a phlegmatic expression written in her facial features before moving aside, inviting me into her room. I obliged and entered with my head hung. She closed the door behind me and went over to her computer to continue typing out a message she had written. I glanced at the screen and saw that she was IMing someone known as XhEaRt09. I wanted to see what they were talking about but she typed something really fast and minimized the window.

"What is it Kairi? What is it that we have to talk about?" Her voice wasn't soft, or even harsh. It was… plain. No emotion whatsoever could be indicated so I didn't really know how to respond to her. I took a seat on her bed and calmed my nerves by moving my hands together.

"What do you mean? I mean… since when are you and Sora broken up?" I stated with a slight chuckle. Even the sound of it was unbelievable and stupid.

"Since I found out that he likes you Kairi. After I figured it out, things started making more sense."

"Things like what exactly?" There was silence as she contemplated my question.

"You don't know about this stuff, but… Sora and I… well. He was always worried about you more than me Kairi. Like the time Hayner beat you up. It was Sora who had arranged for the team to watch over you the next day. It wasn't me." My eyes widened.

"Ruh…really?" She nodded in answer to my question.

"Yea… And that's not the only time he was worried for your safety either." I knew that. Now that I remembered, he had chosen to stay with me that night Namine and I got into a little spout. And now with Demyx…

"Plus… Sora… Me and Sora never did it Kairi. I know everyone thinks we have and I've led everyone to believe that we have but we haven't. Every time we got ready to, he would stop at the last minute. He'd say something like, 'Let's wait until this is really right.' I never knew what he meant because it felt right to me because I cared about him so much ya know. Now I see he just didn't want to sleep with me because he didn't feel the same way. Man, thinking about our relationship now, I see that all he was to me was a great catch. A nice, good looking guy. Maybe that's why I fooled around with Riku because I didn't feel obligated to like him but I actually loved him…"

"Namine…"

"I'm just sorry I hadn't realized it sooner, the way he feels about you… It's so obvious really. So obvious…," she stated more so to herself than me, "Anyway, after I figured it out when he kissed you… Really, if you saw the chemistry between the both of you, you'd figure it out too Kairi… but after he kissed you and I figured it out… I got the clarity from you and I did what I had to do. I called him and said that we needed to break up."

"…What did he say?" I asked timidly. I didn't want to cause her anymore hurt than necessary by asking, but I was extremely curious. Namine gathered herself together and replied, "He asked me why and I told him that I knew the truth about why he was dating me. He didn't deny it either…"

"Namine… I'm sorry," he said.

"Sora… If you want to know the truth… I really don't care about you either…"

"What? What do you mean? Just because I love someone else doesn't mean I don't care about you Namine."

"… Well… I love Riku and since freshman year… we've been sleeping together behind your back… I'm sorry Sora."

"…I guess… I guess this is for the best then. Good-bye Namine." I became livid with my sister's recap of their conversation. I couldn't believe that she had confessed to sleeping with Riku! To Sora! I had to admit though, I was proud of her. Honestly, I didn't want Sora to die thinking that Namine was someone she wasn't. That wasn't right. But she told him. She actually told him.

"Namine! Are you alright?" She shrugged passively.

"It's alright. But… I am going to miss him. I hope he makes you as happy as he made me."

"You… you… think Sora and I will… get together?" I asked, my heart aflutter with the mere thought of it. My sister huffed irately and went to her closet where she began to rake through the different clothing hanging there.

"Duh you twit! Why wouldn't you guys get together? He loves you and I don't care what you say Kairi, you love him too. Why else had you involved yourself so closely into our affairs? Besides, you had better get with him. I really liked Sora… and since I care about his happiness, I'll let him go and do what makes him happy… which unfortunately means being with my little sister." I chuckled a little. At least she was getting back to her normal self. The pain was still evident in her voice though. I lay on her bed and stared at her ceiling. I couldn't believe it. I mean, I was happy. Really happy and Sora and I weren't even a couple yet! Yet… ? Wait. I hadn't seen him since yesterday. We hadn't been on good terms after we left the party. He saw me and Demyx afterall. … He saw me and Demyx! I jumped up, feeling anxiety wash over be like a wave of water. I knew Sora was hurt because of Namine so I knew that the pain I caused him was like a festering wound. Namine looked at me curiously.

"What's the matter with you? Got diarrhea or something?" I shook my head furiously.

"Sora… he doesn't know that Demyx and I have broken up…"

"Oh yea… that's right. You were dating that womanizer. I was surprised you gave him the time of day actually. All he likes to do is pick up girls that seemingly have no interest in him and then fuck 'em. After that he just tosses them aside and brags about it. He's quite the loser actually." I gaped at my sister.

"You knew this and you didn't tell me??"

"Hey. You have to learn some things on your own Kairi. I can't keep protecting you forever… I did warn that little bitch that if he tried to pull that shit on you then he'd have nothing but a shaft at his disposal," she claimed with a wink. I smiled.

"Thanks…"

"No problem. You're my little sister after all… But… I should warn you. I told Larxene that I broke up with Sora and we both know how much she likes him… So she might jump at the chance if she hasn't already."

"…You knew about Larxene too?" I asked. My sister nodded.

"She's my best friend after all. I know everything about her."

"With a friend like that who needs enemies?"

"I know you don't get her but she's a good friend… in her own way…" I scrunched my face in disapproval. Yea right she was a good friend. Namine's standards were too low. Anyway, I left, but not before giving my sister a giant hug.

I put on one of the cuter outfits I owned and brushed my hair. I was thinking that I would add a little curl in my hair and then decided against when I realized I didn't need to get all dolled up. Sora liked me for me.

I told my parents that I was leaving and walked out. It was a cold day, and I pulled the collar of my jacket up to block the biting wind that was blowing on me. I looked up at the gray sky and saw that the sun looked like a silver pearl blending in with its white surrounding. I hated overcast because I felt smothered. Like I was trapped or something. But even the sky couldn't ruin this day because now… Sora and I could finally be together.

I struggled with what to say to him when I saw him. First off, I'd have to apologize for being an idiot. He didn't meant to hurt anyone, he was only doing what he thought was right. That was understandable. He even told me that such a trait was hard to find in someone nowadays. I guess it was even harder to see. Man. I had so much to say that it was impossible to decide how I should say it all. I settled with just saying what I felt like at the time.

Sora's house never looked so magnificent than at the moment I arrived. I gulped my nervousness away and pushed the doorbell. I waited, and as I waited, the feeling of running away became very appealing. My legs tingled with the thought. Then I panicked when I saw the door opening. What if it was Sora?? I turned around but before I could take off I heard, "Kairi?" That didn't sound like Sora. I turned back around slowly and saw that it was Olette smiling happily.

"Hey Olette. I thought you were leaving for Twilight Town…," I said. She nodded.

"I am tomorrow. But today I decided to spend some quality time with my beau. Are you here to visit?" I nodded lamely, "Well, come on in outta the cold!" She pulled me inside forcefully and closed the door behind me.

I was a bit dumbfounded and didn't recognize the house for a moment. Given, I knew every nook and cranny though because my mother wouldn't let Sora take Namine anywhere for the first few years they started dating. And again, wherever Namine went, I had to go too. So, they always visited each other's houses, but we went to his house more often than naught because our parents were never around. Olette yanked my coat off and hung it on the nearby hook.

"Who is it?" I heard Roxas call from another room.

"It's Kairi!" Olette answered. She grabbed my hand.

"Come on, we're watching movies in the wreck room." Before I could protest, she pulled me to the room where I saw Roxas sitting on the leather cough along with a little girl. The little girl looked at me curiously and I looked at her the same way. Roxas was brimming with happiness and looked at me with a big grin on his face.

"What's up Kairi? We missed you after we left the party yesterday. Where'd you and Demyx go off to?" I blushed furiously. I saw a strange twinkle in his eye like he knew the answer to that already. Olette rolled her eyes.

"Stay out of other people's business!" She ordered, slapping him upside the head.

"Yea! Nosy!" The little girl mocked. She too hit Roxas in the head and he looked at her angrily.

"Hey! No hitting or I'll make you go upstairs to watch cartoons by yourself!"

"Noo! I'm sorry. I'll be good!" The little girl sat on her butt and looked straight ahead with square shoulders. Roxas grinned.

"That's better!"

"Oh Kairi, this is my little cousin Marlene. I had to baby sit her today because our parents wanted the day out with their friends before leaving. Marlene, this is my friend Kairi, say hello."

"Hello! Nice to meet you," she claimed while still facing the front. I smiled.

"It's nice to meet you too." The girl turned around and smiled at me. She was missing a couple of teeth, but none the less, I thought she was the cutest little thing! Olette looked at the DVD's on the wall.

"Anyway, what do you guys wanna watch? A comedy, a romance…"

"Romance! Romance!" Marlene claimed bouncing up and down. Roxas groaned.

"Noo," he whined.

"Yes! It's two against one! Kairi? It's up to you decide," Olette said. All three of them looked at me expectantly and I chuckled nervously.

"Uh… actually, I'm here to see Sora…," I said.

"Oh of course you are. Good luck with that. He's upstairs in his room," Roxas said with a grin, "He's all alone…" I rolled my eyes. Marlene giggled excitedly and said, "Oooh" before she busted out in a large fit of giggles.

"Okay… Thanks." I turned to leave and I heard them bicker over what movie to watch as I made my way to his room…

I must have stood at the door for at least five minutes but to me, it felt like five hours. My heart was beating in my chest erratically and I felt my face burn. I wanted to knock and my hand was suspended in air as I got ready to, but I never knocked. I couldn't. Why couldn't I? It was only Sora… It was only… Sora…

The door opened and someone collided into me. I nearly fell over, but a pair of strong arms gripped my waist and held me steady. I felt my body against someone else's lean, yet toned torso and an all too familiar scent overwhelmed me. I closed my eyes.

"Sora…," I breathed. I wrapped my arms around his middle in a tight hug and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt him stiffen at my touch, but he didn't move.

"Kairi? What are you doing here?" I could detect slight anger in his voice and I forgot that we still had to make peace with each other. I pulled away, red-faced. I looked at him. His shirt was opened, and his chest was bared. His hair was a little wet and his jeans had water stains on the bottom. I deduced that he just got out the shower and that was why his smell was amplified tenfold. I wanted to play in his wet hair because it wasn't its normal spiky self.

"Sora," I started. I was distracted by his body, and he followed my steady gaze. He blushed and pulled his shirt closed while he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yeah?" He asked pointedly.

"Umm… I came to… to… apologize, for doubting you… And apparently, you were right about Demyx."

"Heh. Apparently." I cringed at his sarcasm.

"Yea. Stop making this difficult. I'm trying hard." Sora studied me a little more before shrugging and turning his back on me.

"As much as I'd love to hear this, I have a date I have to get ready for so can we please speed this up?" I gasped. Everything escaped me, the things I was feeling, the words I was about to say… everything.

"Huh?" He didn't turn around.

"I said that I have a date Kairi." The words registered but I didn't want to believe them. How could he move on so quickly?? Hadn't he and Namine just broken up? Hadn't he told me that he had feelings for me?? Tears filled my eyes. How could he? How could he make a fool of me this way?

"You… you bastard! I hope your date knows just what she's getting into!" Sora chuckled and looked at me with a grin on his face.

"I'd imagine so. Why else would she want to go out with me? And why else would she be standing here right now?" I frowned.

"You ass hole! I hope you rot in the deepest… shit…!" I was so angry that I couldn't get my wording right so I settled for stomping angrily and turning away from him to leave. He grabbed my arm and spun me back around.

"Let go of me!" I ordered.

"Kairi. Are you that dense? You have no idea who I'm talking about do you? And yet you still get angry?" I tried to pull my arm away but his grip only increased with every attempt.

"Kairi. You silly little girl, I'm talking about you! Didn't you hear me when I said 'why else would she be standing here right now'? I mean, who else is standing here, right now Kairi that I could go on a date with?" My eyes narrowed and I felt my whole face burn from shame.

"Oh…," I muttered. He smiled.

"At least you know that a lot of other girls like me enough to pose a threat," he claimed arrogantly.

"Please. Who could possibly want someone with such a conceited attitude like that?" He pulled me closer and dipped his head. I felt his breath against my lips and my eyes fluttered closed instinctively.

"You," he whispered before kissing me. I nearly melted and my knees buckled. Sora held me against him with an arm wrapped around my waist. He used one of his masculine hands to hold my head in place has he kissed me. His fingers were entangled in my hair and he gently pulled at it. He couldn't seem to hold me close enough and so he backed me up into the hall wall where he pushed against me as much as possible. I felt his toned stomach and chest through the fabric of my clothing. I fondly stroked his chest. He bristled at my touch and moaned with content. He stopped kissing my mouth and planted moist, hot kisses on my neck. My hands traveled downward from his abs to his stomach. He inhaled a quick breath and stopped kissing me in order to look at me. We looked at each other for confirmation. Did we really want to do this? In answer, he picked me up and carried me to his room (which I gotta say was pretty clean considering the fact that he and Roxas shared it). After he laid me down on his bed, he shut the door and locked it. I watched him and when he looked at me with a tender gaze, a warm fuzzy feeling filled me.

"Sora…"

"Kairi I've waited a long, long time for this," he said.

He wasn't as forceful as Demyx had been, but instead he took his time. It was romantic actually. Sora treated each part of my body like it was something precious. He pulled my shirt over my head and I blushed. I didn't wear a one of my cuter bras. I was wearing a plain white one. I tried to cover myself up, but Sora stopped me. He pulled me close and whispered in my ear, "You're beautiful." My heart fluttered in my chest and I kissed him. He was surprised by my sudden take charge attitude but he quickly got over his shock and returned the kiss. I was so hot. I felt like my body was on fire. The feeling of his smooth skin against mine gave me butterflies. When he pressed his lips on my cleavage, a shiver went up my spine and I shivered. He smiled and proceeded to kiss my abdomen, pausing at my navel. He dipped his tongue in it and it was hot and wet. My back arched unexpectedly and Sora smiled seductively. He trailed his tongue backwards until he reached my breasts and he pulled my bra down, exposing one boob. I gasped and moved to cover it back up but Sora laid on top of me and pinned my arms above my head. He began using his tongue to lick at my hardened nipple and I moaned loudly. It felt so good. He continued to flick his tongue at it and my back arched again. He used his unoccupied hand to hold the small of my back so that I was up against him. His breathing picked up I noticed. I also noticed that somewhere along the way I had started panting myself. When he took my nipple between his teeth and nibbled it, I started crying out despite myself. My crying aroused him even more and he stopped in order to suck. I could barely stand it. I bit my lip to stop from screaming and closed my eyes tight. Then suddenly he stopped.

"S… Sora?" He looked at me and his eyes were dark with passion. He used his one hand to unclasp my bra completely and he threw it to the floor. He continued to watch me as he went back down and gently he touched his tongue to my other breast. The slightest touch caused me to moan from anticipation. I smiled and he proceeded to give my other boob the same treatment. He used his hand and messaged the other one. I cried out again and used my hands to position his head just the way I wanted it. I grabbed fistfuls of his hair and his mauling on my body seemed to become more intense as my actions frazzled him. He stopped again and I was relieved. I was breathing really hard now and I felt so weak. Sora kissed me on my mouth for a long time. It was sweet. I wrapped my arms around him and he pulled me close. He sucked on my bottom lip; his tongue traced the outline of it. I breathed hotly on his mouth and he groaned. His hand traveled along my waist and then he moved over to the button of my low ride jeans. I stopped kissing him and watched as he unbuttoned and unzipped my pants. He used his leg to part mine. I felt a burning there. I wanted him. I wanted him badly, but at the same time I was unsure if I was really ready. I looked at him in the eyes and he looked back at me. Slowly, he pulled my jeans and panties down to my thighs. His hand moved to grope my bare butt. He squeezed and caressed it. I panted and breathed his name. I was hot for him. I wanted him. His moved his hand lower and stuck his index finger and his middle one inside of me. I gasped. It hurt. I squirmed to get away, but he held me close and kissed me. He pulled out and went back in, harder, moving his fingers in a circular motion. I started moaning louder than before. His fingers started moving deeper and then he pulled them out. I wanted them in me. I placed my hand on his and guided his fingers to where I needed them. My hips bucked against my will and his fingers found the place. I cried out and Sora huffed as he moved his fingers faster and harder. My hips bucked again and my back arched. He pulled me closer and he started sucking on my boob again. I could feel the burning in my stomach grow and I could feel myself start to clench up around his fingers. I clenched more and more, pulling his fingers deeper and deeper until screaming was all I was capable of doing. All the hotness left my stomach and my whole body tensed. Finally, all the clenching and tightness stopped. He pulled his fingers out of me and stopped sucking my boob. We breathed for a few moments and didn't move. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. I could tell that he wanted more of me, but he was enjoying the fact that he had me at all. I was so drained. I didn't move. So he laid down beside me and pulled me close into his arms.

How had we gone from not speaking, to apologizing, to arguing again, to this? I was amazed. Sora… Since nothing was holding us back anymore, five years of pent up affection was unleashed in the most loving way a man or woman could ever express it. I felt his hard crotch against my hip. It felt so enticing.

"Sora…," I breathed. I wanted it. I wanted it so bad that it ached. He looked at me.

"No… That's it for today… You're tired…" I was burning for him but at the same time I knew he was right. There was no way I could handle sex when I barely handled him fingering me. I pulled my panties back up, but kicked off my constricting jeans before snuggling closer to him. He kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly. He was so warm and I was comfortable in his arms. My eyes drooped and I felt myself nodding off. I couldn't fight sleep any longer and let it claim me.
