Kairi clenched Riku's arm, although it wasn't in fear, it was in anger. What kind of annoying human being would ruin such a perfect night? She let go of Riku's arm and stood in front of Riku, reaching into her bag.

"Kairi? What are you doing?" Riku asked in disbelief as she pulled out a spray can of something. As the boys started to close in, she held it in both hands.

She yelled, "Stay back or get hurt!"

The Men all chuckled, "So, getting your girlfriend to defend you now?"

Kairi stepped forward and kicked the guy in the lower area and sprung into action. She glared at them all, "I am NOT his girlfriend." All the guys, angry as they were attempted to lash out at Kairi, but she either sprayed them with the 'high pressured lemon deodorant' or kicked them away. Riku just stood there awestruck.

She grabbed his hand, snapping him out of whatever he was thinking, "Come on!" She ran towards her house constantly slipping over her high heels.

She groaned, "Curse them!" She tore them off her feet and threw them over her back by the straps. For a while they were running bare foot through the streets with Riku running close behind screaming "Where did you get that talent?" She just waved her he and kept on running.

By the time they got back to Kairi's house, Riku's lungs hurt. Stung by the harsh bite of heavily breathing in cold air, his pain was put at ease by the warmth of Kairi's house. He inwardly sighed and followed Kairi into the kitchen.

He sat on the chair, despite what he was about to say, "I should go". Kairi looked up from the tea she was making. She put the kettle on, "Your not going anywhere until I've gotten this hot drink into your system" She smiled at Riku and he smiled back.

I have no choice, plus what am I going to do when I get home anyway??

When Kairi finished making the tea, she slid a cup over to Riku and he picked it up, bringing to his lips. He sniffed, taking in the scent of fresh tea under his nose. It was a bit hot so he lowered it down to the counter to let it cool.

While it was cooling, he looked at Kairi's necklace, "That looks nice on you Kairi." She touched it, feeling the diamonds sparkle underneath her touch. She smiled and looked back up at Riku. "Thanks."

Kairi sipped at her tea and Riku looked into her eyes, they were like blue pools of colour. While Riku was lost in Kairi's eyes, she noticed him looking at her and waved a hand in front of his face. "Riku? Wake up!" She clicked her fingers and he snapped out of it.

"Sorry" Kairi giggled and looked at the clock, "Well, you got me home on time, early too." Riku smiled and gleamed his white teeth, "The tea was great, Kairi."

Riku stood up and brushed off his pants, "I'd better be goi…"

"Don't go just yet!" Kairi cut him off making Riku raise an eyebrow. "Ok?" Riku walked over to Kairi who was clenching her fists.

Riku tilted her head up, "Kairi, are you okay?" He could see unshed tears pooling in the bottom of her beautiful eyes. "What's the matter?" He said in an unusually high pitched voice.

She cleared her throat and began to talk, "I was so scared tonight but I've never felt so angry before either. I didn't know how to feel but I thought that they were going to ruin the night by hurting one of us and I didn't want that."

Riku chuckled, "You showed them didn't you? Kairi, that was amazing, I've never seen your skills before and may I say. I was awestruck." By this time Kairi was looking back at the floor, with his thumb and his forefinger, he lifted her chin up, "You are amazing" Kairi slammed into Riku's chest, hugging him as her tears pooled down her face. She fit snug underneath his chin and he began to stroke her soft hair.

Eventually the tears stopped flowing and Kairi pulled back. She looked at his shirt, "I'm sorry, your shirts all wet now." Riku looked down at it.

He smiled, "Don't worry about it, it'll dry." Kairi sniffed and wiped at her nose with the back of her hand. Riku pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to her, she accepted as they both began to walk to the door.

Riku turned to Kairi, "Did you have fun tonight?" Kairi nodded and laughed, "It was fun kicking those guys' butts and speaking of which, Will you be alright walking home?" As Riku pulled open the door, he inhaled the cold air and looked around. "I'll be fine; if I'm bothered I'll just have to repeat your actions."

Kairi raised an eyebrow, "You have lemon deodorant?" He laughed and looked into her eyes again. You could hardly tell that she had been crying. He began to step away missing the warmth of Kairi's head underneath his chin and spoke, "I'll see you later, Kairi." As Riku fully turned around, he heard the creak of the door closing, but didn't hear it close.

A small hand on his strongly pulled him around. Before he knew it soft, warm lips were on his, it was Kairi. She pulled back and looked up at Riku, "Merry Christmas…Riku." She turned back around and ran back to the door, a little skip in her. This time, he heard the door click shut while he just stood there.

"Merry Christmas, Kairi." Riku began to walk back home, a cold puff of air forming in front of his mouth.

Sorry! That was the shortest chapter, but I didn't want to ruin it by stalling too much, but did you like it? Hate it? Could I have done better?

Thanks for reading!!
