"Arggh!! Sora!" Scowled Kairi. She glared at him and Sora flashed a cheesy smile.
"Hehe sorry Kairi!" He smiled and put his hands up protectively. "Didn't mean to get you wet." He laughed and poked at her already wet clothing.
Kairi rolled her eyes and smiled at him. Sora rung out his soaked Blink 182 shirt and wiped the water from his face on his sleeve. He looked at Kairi then at the road in front of him, then back at Kairi.
'Wow she looks good wet...'
Sora mentally kicked himself. 'Where the fuck did that come from?' He thought.
"Y-you gonna' drive or what??" He stammered, still thinking of his last thought.
Kairi was obviously lost in ehr own thoughts because she did not budge when he said this. She kept her hands at ten and two on the wheel and stared straight forward. He snapped his fingers in front of her eyes and she popped them open widely, looking around as if she was lost.
"Wha??" She said. He motioned forward and she got the message, laughing at herself a little she started driving to Sora's house.
Riku looked around campus for his girlfriend, she was supposed to meet him after school to hang out. What he didn't know is that Kairi meant to not show up. He looked around impatiently and confronted a fellow student.
"Hey kid!" He spat. "You seen Kairi?"
"Yeah she went to her car, I think she met Sora there." The student replied timidly.
He pushed the student away and stormed off towards Kairi's car. When he got there, she was already gone.
Kairi threw herself down on Sora's bed and sighed at the day she'd had. He closed the door behind him and sat on his bed next to her. He watched her for a little and studied the expression on her face, still wondering what it was she wanted to talk about. Was she scared? Worried? Troubled? Injured? He just wanted to know what was wrong.
"What did you want to tell me Kairi?" Sora asked her.
" Lately I havn't been feeling like I am fully appreciated." She paused and closed her eyes. "Like things are all my fault and I'm the scapegoat for everything."
Sora stared at her like he didn't know what she was talking about. He had always greatly appreciated her. For her person and her being, he never talked down to her and thought she deserved the utmost respect from him. He had heard her words but continued staring blankly at her as if he couldn't understand what she said.
"Kairi what made you think that?" He asked her finally.
"I don't know if I should tell you." She bit her lower lip.
"Tell me what?" Sora was starting to get a little worried for her. "Tell me what?" He repeated.
Kairi sat up slowly and looked at him with eyes full of fear and sorrow. He was now internally terrified of what was going on that he didn't know about. She slowly lifted her shirt sleeves to reveal several bruises where somebody had obviously grabbed her. She lifted her pantlegs to reveal several more purple marks, finally she lifted her shirt to just below her breasts, only for Sora to find that her abdomen was bruised. He stared in shock as his best friend contined to bite her lip.
"Kairi What? How? " Sora was almost at loss of words as he looked at her beaten body.
Kairi lowered her sleeves, pantlegs and shirt to again cover her wounds and spoke to him in a soft voice as if somebody was listening. " Sora, you can't tell anybody ok? I don't want you getting hurt."
His eyes looked into hers, full of anger and sympathy. He gently pulled her to him and embraced her lovingly. He had always been there for her and always will be.
"Who did it Kairi?" Sora asked. "Riku? Your stepdad?"
"Yeah." Kairi whispered softly.
"Kairi, break up with him. I'm begging you." He pleaded. " I knew he didn't treat you right. I knew he just sees you as an object." He was completely worried for her, he never liked seeing anybody hurt, especially not Kairi.
"Sora, I'm ok..." She told him.
'Bullshit.' Said the voice in Sora's head. 'You aren't you're just afraid.' But of course he wouldn't and couldn't tell her that.
"No. I don't like it Kairi." Sora shook his head at her.
"Sora, promise you won't tell anybody?" She asked. "Please! And please don't worry about me I'm fine. If anything terrible happens you will be the first to know."
"Ok I'll try not to worry." Sora replied.
' Yeah right Sora, you're going to think of it all the time.' Said the voice. Sora mentally agreed with it.
"C'mon Kairi, I'm going to take you for ice cream." He got up off of the bed and pulled her with him, she smiled at his sudden change of subject. She realized that's what made him such a good friend, his spontaneousness. He could make anything better at any time. "What are you waiting for?" he asked her as he sprinted downstairs to the door.
She sighed and followed him in a slower manner. The two went to a nearby ice cream parlor where Sora bought his best friend a stick of seasalt ice cream.
