Chapter 24: Dance the stress away
"Man, I have to buy new shirts. Mine are getting really small,"
Sora sighed as he zipped up his black sleeveless shirt, making sure his arms could at least fit through the holes. His muscles could be slightly seen as he wore his trademark crown necklace around his neck and ruffled his spicky locks to tame it down a bit but like usual. It was impossible.
He grabbed his schoolbag and exited his room, closing the door afterwards. Walking towards the kitchen table, Sora was surprised to see that Kairi actually prepared breakfast for him. There on the table were two plates of pancakes, covered with delicious thick chocolate syrup and a glass of orange juice placed just right next to it.
"Umm," began Sora with a confused look. "What is going on?"
He made his way to the table and saw Kairi at the kitchen, phone on her shoulders while pressing it to her ear. She was also frying eggs at the same time. Talk about multi-tasking. "What do you mean you can't come?" whined Kairi as she flipped the eggs with her spatula.
Sora rolled his eyes and sat down at the table, his bagpack perched beside his chair. Kiki came trotting in, her nose up the air as she passed by Sora. He glared at the feline and stared back to the food in front of him. "Alright Namine. I understand. I'll see you at school then," said Kairi and hung up, walking towards the table with a plate of eggs in her hand.
She sat down at her place and grabbed the napkin, tucking it at the collar of her blouse. She took her fork and began poking the eggs while poring more syrup on her pancakes. Her eyes met with Sora, who was busily giving her a blank look. "What are you staring at Fishbreath?"
"What's with this?" asked Sora while pointing to his pancakes.
"You are stupider than you look. It's breakfast porcupine head,"
"You have never made breakfast for me. Why the sudden change?"
"Just quit whining and eat. I'm already stressed as it is,"
Sora mimicked her in a soft tone and took his fork. He gently poked it, afraid of what Kairi had done to the delicacy. "I didn't poison it so don't worry your fucking ass off okay?" claimed Kairi, softly devouring her early meal. Kiki was busy eating her meal too, tuna fish with milk to help swallow it down.
Sora cut a piece of it and popped it in his mouth, slowly enjoyng the taste of it. He was surprised at how good Kairi was at making such delicious pancakes. Kairi saw this and mentally smiled, watching Sora eat it like a hungry lion. She couldn't help but laugh a bit, making Sora stop his chewing and coughed up. "What's so funny redhead?"
"You eating. Sheesh, take your time. School doesn't start until 40 more minutes,"
"I know. Just wanna get there early. Unlike you, slowpoke,"
"Whatever. You're really weird, frogface,"
Sora glared at her before continuing eating. Kairi was doing the same thing, only slower. She somehow finished her food faster and was about to clean up when she saw Sora smiling to himself. "What are you smling about?"
Sora laughed a bit and wiped his mouth with the napkin Kairi prepared for him. "Nothing, you remind me of my dream last night,"
"I bet it was stupid and boring, like you. I'm leaving. Clean up or else, you're cleaning Kiki's litter box for life!" and with that, she left with her bag, slamming the door on her way out. Sora sighed and began picking up the dirty dishes and dumped them into the sink. He turned on the tap and washed his hands with the cold liquid.
"If only you knew how stupid I am to even dream about it. If you think your laughter is stupid and boring, then so be it because I always dream about your laughter and I don't know why," whispered Sora to himself. Kiki saw his expression and jumped on the counter, giving him a warm miow. Sora looked to it and petted its head.
"You are so cute Kiki. Just like your owner,"
"Miow,"
Sora laughed and finished up his duty before putting Kiki back in her cage and leaving the dorm to go to school for another day.

KRING!
Sora jolted awake by hearing the alarm of the school bell. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, noticing that all the students had left from Mr Goofy's class, including the teacher himself. The spiky haired boy got up, slung his backpack over his shoulder and exited the class, yawning along the way. He raced to his locker which happened to be near the cafeteria. Very convenient for boys like Sora.
He emptied the contents of his bag and stuffed them in his disroganised locker which lacked of space and took out what he needed only. After that, he placed his bagpack in his locker, closed the door and went inside the café. His eyes immediately saw his gang, already there, eating happily and talking at the same time.
Sora grabbed his lunch, looking at it suspiciousy as the cafeteria women poured gravy over his oddly looking mashed potatoes and walked to his table. "Yo, bro, ready for the game next week?" asked Roxas as soon as Sora sat down.
"What game?" replied the hungry boy, blur as always.
"The basketball championship, dufus. The one we've been practicing for how many weeks. Don't tell me you forgot?"
"Of fourfe fot," replied Sora with his mouth full, bits and pieces of pudding came flying out from the corner of his mouth. Roxas shook his head in dismayel and continued eating quietly. Kairi came bursting through the cafeteria doors, hair entangled, face bruised a bit and her shirt was not properly buttoned.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late," explained Kairi while panting and holding her lunch. "Coach Larxene made me stay back at the field for a few more kicks,"
"That's okay but why did coach want you alone there?" asked Michelle. Kairi sighed and sat beside Namine, placing her chin on her hand afterwards. "Because she says I have to be captain next game. Chleo has an exam so she can't be it,"
"Yeah, sis did tell me about that. She's supposed to be in her tuition class now," said Riku.
"Who's tutoring her?" questioned Selphie.
"That bastard Jack Sparrow," responded Leon with a grumble. He poked his mashed potato as though he were poking Mr Sparrow. Everyone eyed him while smirking and he just ignored them and continued harassing his food. "Oh well, you can do it Kairi!" said Phoebe giving her a thumbs up. Kairi smiled to all of them but they could see behind the smile, she was upset. Her life was a wreck lately.
School, homework, chores (That Sora made her do), cooking, friends, parents, her social life. It was too much for her. Now, with the captain of the soccer team, more stress will overcome her and she needed a time off. Sora knew the most. Sometimes, he would see her scream on her pillow and have bags under those sky blue eyes.
She smiles, yes, she smiles a lot. Fake smiles at least. But what can she do? She's too tired to do anything. He wanted to do something but what?
"Hey guys, have you heard the news?" asked Rain as she approached the gang's table. They all stared at her with their wonderous eyes, confused to her words. She noticed this and laughed. "You guy's are so dense. The prom is this Saturday. The theme is masked ball. Isn't that romantic? Don't tell me you forgot?"
"MASKED BALL?" yelled Selphie, hitting Tidus with her sandwich in shock. Tidus grumbled wiping his face with a tissue while cursing Selphie. "Oh my god! You mean we don't have to go around asking for dates?"
"Nope," replied Kelliann who just arrived. Standing beside Rain, the two friends smiled. "You just have to go there wearing formal clothes and a mask and whoever dances with you is a mystery until 12 midnight. Isn't that great?"
"Awesome!" squealed the girls, making the boys groan in boredom. Dancing was one thing but not knowing who you're dancing with was total torture. Kairi didn't squeal or complain. She was already asleep on the table, snoring softly. The bags under her eyes were visible and her soft breath blew the lunch in front of her. Rain and Kelliann turned to her, arching their eyebrows.
"What's with Kairi? She sick?" asked Rain.
Namine turned to her twin and laughed nervously. "Nah. She's just tired. Don't worry. She'll be okay when we tell her about the prom,"
"Oh, okay. Hope she'll be fine. Our soccer game is coming near. Don't wanna lose right? Well, see you guys later. I am going to ask Gippal wether he's going to the dance or not? Bye!" and with that, she pulled Kelliann with her and ran off to find Rain's crush. Namine turned her attention back to Kairi and sighed. "Sorry Kai. Looks like you got one more event for you. At least the prom will relax you,"
KRING!
"Huh? Lunch's over already?" asked a groggy Kairi, waking up and stretching her weak body. "Yeah. Let's hurry to class. Mr Yen Sid will kill us if we're late for history class," inquired Olette, picking up her lunch. Kairi's eyes widened and her fists slammed the table. "History? Oh no! Mr Yen Sid wants me to help him expain about the heartless war. I gotta go. Bye!"
The gang watched helplessly as she ran off with her bag, bumping into people along the way. Sora frowned, urging to help her. He nodded his head, finding a solution already.
Hopefully I can help you Kairi. I will help you! I must…

"I hate my life…..,"
"Don't say that Kai! Now hold still. Doing your hair takes a lot of time and patience!"
Kairi grumbled mentally as she pouted and crossed her arms over the pink halter top dress she decided to wear to the prom. Selphie was busy playing with her auburn locks, trying to decided which hairstyle fitted the teenager. She made up her mind, pulling a bunch of her hair and clipping them together into a bun. Then, she took some of Kairi's front hair and let them down, making it look neat and sexy at the same time.
"Tadaa! What do you think Kairi? Am I good or what?"
"No, your hopeless. This due isn't me. I want an updo, not a bun! Re-do!"
"Oh, hush. I know what's best for you and this hairstyle matches your dress anyway,"
"Then I'll change my dress. Bye!"
"Nu-uh. You look perfect. Don't change anything. Besides, the prom is in 10 minutes so hah!"
Kairi placed her gloved hands to her waist and glared at Selphie, making her back away and running off to help Namine. Kairi groaned and sat back down, looking at her reflection. She did look pretty. No. Beautiful. But somehow, she wasn't pleased. She had no time for a prom. She had 4 more projects that was due tomorrow and she had chores plus cleaning to do.
"Guys, what if I don't go to the prom?" questioned the redhead to her friends. "What if I stayed here and finished my work?"
"You're coming and that's final Kairi. We're not going without you," replied Michelle, helping Phoebe with her light blue dress. Phoebe and the rest nodded, Kairi sighed in defeat to their answer. The door knocked a few times, indicating that someone wanted to enter. "Come in," said Kairi softly, barely hearing her answer. The door opened, revealing Chleo, Yuffie and Aeris all dressed up.
"You guys ready or not? The boys are already at the ballroom except for Sora," said Chleo.
"Sora?" asked Kairi out loud. "Whats wrong with him?"
"Hey, he's your man. Don't look at me,"
Kairi stood up abrubtly and scurried out of her room to her roommates one. She banged on the door, hearing a muffled sound coming from the inside. She slammed it open and saw a sick Sora on the bed with several tissues around him. "What are you still doing in bed fishbreath? The prom is in 5 minutes! Get up and get dressed now!" ordered the furious girl.
"What is wrong with you redhead? Can't you see that I'm sick?"
"You were just fine this morning. Quit faking and come on,"
"If you don't believe me, feel my body. I'm literally burning up!"
The girl bit her lip in hesitation but she wanted to prove her fact so she went to his bed and placed the back of her hand against his forehead. She gasped in shock when warmth immediately heated up it, proving that Sora had gotten ill. She pouted and went out of his room back to hers. "Girls, maybe I won't go to the prom. Sora's sick and I can't leave him alone,"
"Why? You're his girlfriend or something?" teased Yuffie, making the others giggle. Kairi blushed and glared at all of them. "N-No! Its just that……rules of the school say when one of your rommates are sick, the other mate must always stay by his or her side until he or she is better. Its in the rulebok,"
"You don't even read a school textbook and you read the rulebook?" asked Namine suspiciously.
"I was bored. The rules say that so must follow the rules!" lied Kairi, making sure she sounded convincing. Apparently she failed. The girls gave her we-know-you're-lying- expression, letting her sigh and stomp her foot in desperation. "Forget it Kai. You're coming, wether you like it or not. Sora can take care of himself. He's a tough dude," added Olette. Kairi scanned her friends and nodded slightly.
"Fine, lets get this over with. I'm going frogface so take care….NOT!" cried Kairi and left the dorm with the others. Sora smirked in his bed and kicked off his covers and checked his reflection, making sure his tuxedo looked nice and his hair looking spikier than ever, adding some colour to the end of them. He placed his mask over his eyes and smiled in his reflection.
"Kairi, get ready for the best night of your life,"

"Wow, this room is fucking cool!" gasped the girls when they entered the ballroom. Everything was decorated beautifully, the effects made it looked as though they were in the mideivel times. The chandeliers hung high above them. The floor shined below their feet every time they took a step, the punch coming from a mini fountain perched on the table. Everything was gorgeous.
The girls squealed and ran to find guys to dance wih immediately, leaving Kairi sulking while following slowly behind them. She hunched her back and slided her feet against the floor, dull looking as ever. She found a seat to sit down but immediately when she did, 5 guys approached her. "Do you want to dance?" asked all of them at once.
Kairi blushed to the attention she received but shook her head. She wasn't in the mood to dance. The guys sighed and left with a frown, Kairi felt guilty soot. She was about to call them back when a guy approached her. He cleared his throat getting her attention. She turned around and gasped when she saw him. He had on a black tuxedo with a black bowtie to match with a red rose in his pocket.
He wore a dark blue mask and had sky blue eyes to match. His hair spiked in every direction but at the tips of every spike, a fiery red was dyed there. Kairi arched her eyebrows, he looked familiar somehow. Could it be Sor- Nah! He's sick remember. But he could have faked it. But why would he fake his sickness? But he has fire red highlights at the spikes. Sora doesn't have them. It can't be him. Right?
"What's a pretty girl like you not doing on the dance floor?" asked the guy with his deep and masculine voice. Kairi sighed dreamily in her head at that. This guy is hot! His voice suits him! It can't be Sora. I'm positive! "I was ju-just about to g-go dance b-but I don't ha-have a partner," stammered the blushing redhead. He smirked and held out his hand. "Now you do,"
She looked into his eyes and smiled. Her hands gracefully took his as he smiled and kissed it before pulling her to the dance floor. He took her waist and hand while she took his shoulder and hand, with that, danced the music that played.
When marimba rhythms start to play,
Dance with me, make me sway,
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore,
Hold me close, sway me more,
He spinned her, pushing her further from him and then back to him as they continued twirling, staring deeply into each other's eyes.
Like a flower bending in the breeze,
Bend with me, sway with ease,
When we dance you have a way with me,
Stay with me, sway with me,
She turned around, her back touching his chest, making her gasp in shock when he placed his hand on her stomach and his hand grasped hers, slowly moving to the music. He turned her back to face him and smiled watching her expression a bit surprised by his actions.
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
He held her hands in front of them as he placed a foot in front and she to the back. They repeated this until he changed the rhythm and began to sway with her just like before.
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
He spun her around and caught her hand, pulling her towards him and dipping her slightly. He nearly lost his grip but he quickly lifted her back up and she winked at him as they joined hands together and continued dancing.
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
All attention were on them, the other dancers stopped their dancing to view the couple but the two ignored them. Their focus on each other. Kairi felt as though she were in heaven because looking into his eyes made her weak. She didn't even know him yet she felt close to him already. He took her hand and lifted it high as he turned her around, making her turn and turn and turn. He watched her closely as she did so.
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
He finally stopped turning her and pulled her near him, her arms around his shoulder and their hands clasped together while placed near their chests. Together they spun around, staring deeply into each others eyes. Somehow, Kairi imagined her looking into her enemy's eyes for some reason and she couldn't get it out. She let his hand go and wrapped it around his neck, making them spin faster.
The music finally stopped and she was dizzy from spinning so he stopped them, her back to his chest, her breathing grew hard from tiredness and his hand on her stomach, placing her hands on it. Her eyes shut close but his eyes opened, watching her expression while she took a breather. He neared her hair, inhaling the loose strand that fell from the bun.
Kairi slowly opened her blue orbs and turned to him, him doing the same thing. She looked up and noticed how close their faces were. His breathing on her nose. Her eyes stared back into his, her heart beating faster for some reason. The crowd cheered for their performance but for some reason, her ears muted those cheers and she focused on only him.
She gasped in surprise when he slid a hand from her neck and moved it upwards. She closed her eyes, letting him move his warm and soft fingers against her shaking skin. He neared his face to hers, she couldn't do anything to stop him. Her body froze there, letting his lips get nearer to hers. She held her breath when she felt him getting nearer and nearer. He was going to do it. He was just inches away.
It stopped. He pulled his hand away from her, slowly stepping back from the girl. Her eyes remained closed, not noticing his exit. He sighed before running off into the crowd, letting them whisper in shock. Kairi opened back her eyes and frowned when he wasn't there. Her eyes scanned the crowd but he wasn't there. Her heart broke for some reason and she had a sudden urge to cry but she didn't.
She saw her friends and went to them. "Whoa Kai. You sure got intimate with that hot guy. Who was it?" asked Selphie, handing her some punch. Kairi gulped it down and sighed. "I don't know. We just met. I didn't even ask his name but somehow, I felt like I knew him for years,"
"Strangely, he looked a lot like Sora huh?"
Kairi scoffed and held back a laugh. "Him? Puh-lease. It couldn't have been him…..," Her gaze turned back to the dancefloor, crowded back with people. Right?

Michelle sat down on a chair, gasping for breath. She had been on the dancefloor many times, she needed some rest. Her lips sipped down the cold punch, making their way down her throat. "Hey baby, what's happening?"
Michelle stopped her drinking and turned to the person. Even with his mask, Michelle could tell it was her ex. "What do you want Demyx and don't call me baby. It sickens me," snapped the brunette, glaring at him. Demyx laughed and sat beside her. "How can you say that to your boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend? More like EX-boyfriend,"
"We haven't technically broken up,"
"What? After that incident, you still don't get it? You are stupid,"
Demyx gritted his teeth but calmed down. "Just let it go and come back to me. I know you want to. That's why you and Allster aren't an item yet," Michelle blushed at that statement and turnd back to him. "So what? Just because I'm not with Riku, doesn't mean we're together,"
"You didn't technically say the word break up, honey,"
Michelle scoffed and stood up, looking down to Demyx. "Listen punk, read my lips, I am breaking up with you! We are history so don't ever speak to me again! You hear me! Oh, and back off Phoebe too. She doesn't have anything to do with this so buzz of her. Okay?"
Demyx contained his anger, looking to Michelle as she walkd off. His fists clenched and his smile turnd to a smrik. He turned to Phoebe, who was busily chatting while eating. "You're going to regret this Mitch. No one breaks up with me. No one,"

"Are we there yet Zexion?"
"Not yet Phoebe. Just a few more seconds,"
"Why couldn't you tell me this important thing at the prom. Why did you have to blindfold me and take me to your car, while you drive me to somewhere I don't know?"
"I told you," replied Zexion with a smile. "It's a surprise,"
Phoebe sighed and gave up from asking him. She was happily talking at the prom when he suddenly dragged her out and said he was going to tell her something important, taking her to a special place to do so. Her eyes might have been blinded but her ears were sharp so she heard the sounds of water. Her eyebrows arched. Were they at the beach?
"Okay, we're finally here!"
"Finally," confessed Phoebe and fumbled with her blindfold. "I can take this off right?" A hand was placed on hers, stopping her from untying it. "Not yet. A few more minutes and then you can untie it. Okay?" asked Zexion. Phoebe could tell he was asking sincerely so she sighed and nodded. He smiled a simple smile and got out of his car, opening her door for her afterwards.
"Okay, take my hand and I'll guide you there,"
"O-Okay, make sure I don't bump into anything or else," said Phoebe with a serious tone, holding Zexion's hand tightly. He grinned, glad that his plan was working well. They slowly made their way to their destination, Phoebe following aimlessly by Zexion. She could hear the sounds of rocks being scraped over the ground everytime they took a foot in front. Are we in some kind of deserted road? Why would he bring me here?
She then heard the sounds of water again. This must be the beach. We're walking on sand now and he's going to tell me something at the beach. This would be agreat chance to tell him I know his feelings and my own now! Perfect!
"Okay, you can take it off now,"
Phoebe nodded in response and untyed the red bandana he used to cover her sapphire eyes. When her vision became clear, her breath tightened when she saw the view. It was breathtaking. Trees were everywhere, a glistening lake in front and a beautiful full moon lightening the night. "Oh my god, Zexion. This place is beautiful!" squealed Phoebe, turning to him with dreamy eyes.
"My dad proposed to my mother here. It's a very special place,"
"Aww, that's so sweet! I didn't know your father was a romantist. Guess you take after him in that department,"
"I guess. It is beautiful isn't it?"
"Yeah, but why did you bring me here?"
Zexion blushed a deep red and turned his head, not wanting Phoebe to look at him. Phoebe noticed this though and smiled, liking how Zexion always blushed around her. "Zexion, I have to tell you something," began Phoebe "I-I know,"
Zexion held a confused look and gazed at her intensely. "What do you mean you know?"
"I-I know how you feel about me and its not a friendly kind of feeling,"
"O-Oh, i-is it that obvious?"
"No, not really. I-I found out when you confessed while I was supposedly asleep but I wasn't. I heard everything. You love me that much?" asked Phoebe with questioning eyes. Zexion lowered his head in embarassment and nodded slightly. "Phoebe, I love you since the first time I saw you. I love the way you smile, laugh, always helpful, jokes around, cheerful at all times and strong,"
"You did?"
"Yeah. I love how you always find the rights at a wrong time. How you're compassionate. Forgiving and loyal. I loved you even when you were Riku's girlfriend. I will always get nervous whenever we touch or anything like that. I was always afraid to say my feelings so I kept them to myself but you knew all along. How stupid I am,"
"You're not stupid Zexion. You didn't want to ruin our friendship. That's why you did it," He looked at her and frowned, seeing her blush and turn the other way. She sighed and gripped the bench harder. "Zexion, I have something else to say too. I-I have been thinking about you lately and I…I…I think I'm falling for you,"
His eyes turned wide open, surprised by her answer. He was speechless. He never expected her to respond to his one sided love. She grinned and leaned in closer, giving him a peck on the lips. His cheeks turned warm and his heart fluttered by that touch. He smiled and took something out of his pocket. He took it out and held out his hand, taking hers with it.
"Phoebe, now that I know we have stronger feelings for each other, I wish to make you mine," said Zexion with honest eyes. "Phoebe, will you accept this ring and be my girlfriend?"
Phoebe's eyes beamed with happiness and she pushed Zexion to the ground, hugging him. "Of couse I will. I am honored to be," Zexion cheered mentally and smiled, hugging Phoebe back as they embraced each other and were happy they were together at last.

Namine, I promise to never hurt you. I promise to always love you. I promise to always be there for you. I promise…to make you mine forever.
Her blue orbs widened as she remembered those words. "Namine," asked Roxas as he stopped his kissing when he noticed she was distracted. "Whats wrong?" Namine turned to him and smiled. "N-Nothing Rox. Just a little tired,"
"Oh, w-we can stop if you want,"
"Roxas, I love how much you care about me. Its okay. I love you," whispered Namine and gently kissed him, him smiling into the kiss. His hands placed upon the wall as he pinned her, touching her soft lips with his. Her hands went to his shoulders and stayed there. They were alone at the balcony, having a little make-out session. She couldn't forget the incident after her birthday. She remebered it so vividly, it scared her.
Flashback
"Roxas, what are you doing?"
"I'm giving you your present. Don't you want it?"
"Of course I do but must we stand at the edge of this rail. Its kinda scary,"
Roxas smiled and kissed her comfortly, her looking at him with wonderous eyes. "Don't worry, I'll protect you," She grinned and hugged him, happy that her boyfriend always knew how to comfort her. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and held her hands. "I'll be back. I left your gift back with Sora. Just stay here okay?" Namine nodded and he grinned before running off.
She sighed and turned back to the view, the cold crisp air blowing her blonde hair. She stretched out her arms, making her vulnearble to the air around her. They blew her dress, flowing the rhythm of the wind as they whistled and sang in her ears. She closed her eyes and smiled to herself, inhaling the fresh oxygen on the ship. She ignored the fact how deep the water was below her and ignored how near she was too falling.
Just then, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her. She smiled, thinking it was Roxas. "So, did you get my gift?" asked the blonde haired girl, liking the warmth of his hands. "No," replied the voice but it was much deeper and didn't belong to Roxas at all. "I got you something better,"
Namine gasped and tried to turn to see who it was but he gripped her tightly, resulting to impossibility of breaking free. She squirmed and tried to scream for help but the boy coverd her mouth with a hand and hissed in her ear. "Namine, I promise to never hurt you. I promise to always love you. I promise to always be there for you. I promise…to make you mine forever,"
She muffled a yell and a scream but all that came out was a small whimper. All hope was lost as the boy traced his fingers over her face down to her neck and he began to go lower. "Hey Namie, I found your….hey…..let her go!" Namine's eyes widened. Roxas! She was saved. The boy grinned and turned her around to face him and he roughfully gave her a kiss before pushing her off the boat.
"NAMINE!" yelled Roxas and dove off the ship to her. Namine screamed her heart out as she plunged into the deep depths of the water. Her vision became blurry, covered by the cold water. She swam back to the surface, gasping for air. A pair of arms got her and she thought it was the boy so she squirmed for freedom. "Namine, relax, it's me," whispered Roxas.
Namine heaved a sigh of relief and turned around. She cried into his chest as he swam them both out of the sea. When they reached shore, Namine never released her grip, afraid of him leaving her. She was sobbing uncontrolbally and her body shook with fear. Roxas held her delicate figure closely, stroking her wet hair for comfort.
"Ssh, don't cry. I'm here. Its all okay," whispered his soothig voice into her ears. She still kept crying and snuggled closer to Roxas, never wanting to let him go. "Don't leave me Roxas. Don't leave me,"
"Don't leave me!"
"Namine, I'm right here,"
Namine looked up and saw Roxas, looking down to her and smiling. Namine smiled weakly and hugged him tightly, that day scared her for life. Roxas knew her feelings and swore to find out who it was and why he did that. His grip tightened, afraid of any kind of bad incidents happening to her. He couldn't let that happen. Her body shook under him and her lip quivered with fear.
"Come on Namie. Lets go back to the prom,"
"O-Okay," and with that, they walked hand in hand out of the balcony and back to the prom, their grips hardened, not wanting the other to leave. Not now, not ever.

"I haven't danced that much in my whole teenage life! I'm pooped," whined Kairi to herself as she went out of the heated ballroom towards the beach of the school, where they held blitzball matches or students that wanted to relax there. Her feet barely walked her to the sand from tiredness. She managed to sit down, catching her breath. She kicked off her high heels and laid her back onto the grainy yellow rocks.
"This has been a relaxing night. I wish this night would last forever. Though, I really wanted to meet that guy again. He was so…..different," whispered the redhead to herself, massaging her feet. "Miss me already?" asked a voice from behind her. She tilted her head and smiled, seeing the guy again. He returned it and sat down beside her.
"Why'd you suddenly run off? You know, after…we…umm…danced?"
"Oh," replied the boy, blushing slightly. "I had to use the bathroom. Duty calls," Kairi laughed to his answer and he smiled hearing her laugh. She stopped her joy fest when she noticed him staring at her. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
The boy laughed. "No, you look absolutely amazing tonight," Kairi's cheeks heated up and she giggled to his comment. She turned back to him and pouted. "Well, you look very handsome. May I know your name?"
"Its better you don't," replied the boy while gazing at the sea in front of them."You'll be really shocked,"
"No I won't. I promise,"
"I'm sorry. Maybe next time,"
She lowered her head in dissapointment. She really wanted to know him. He was special in a way. He knew when she was vulnerable, when she was weak and when she shivered from his touch. How he did that was totally out of her understandment. The school clock chimed, signaling the time of midnight. Kairi sighed and turned back to him, who was still looking at the sea.
"Well, its 12 o'clock. I think we can open our masks now," said Kairi, silence greeted her. She waited for an answer but it never came so she was about to take her mask off when he stopped her. "Wait," he began and stared into her eyes. "L-let me do it for you then you can take mine off,"
"O-Okay," replied Kairi meekly. He grinned at her and tangled his fingers with the strings of her mask, untying it. He managed to do it, letting the red mask fall off her face, unrevealing her beauty. She blushed when he examined her, eyes widened as though wanting to pop out. Kairi fiddled with her dress and was about to ask him what he thought of her when he kissed her.
She was surprised to his actions for they only knew each other barely and they were kissing now. She closed her eyes and lifted her shaking arms, pulling him closer to her. He cupped her cheek, feeling her melt into him. Her heart pounded and her knees shook with excitement. Was she falling for him? She then remembered when Sora kissed her. This was the same feeling.
His arms wrapped around her fragile body as their lips touched gently against each other. Her mind told her to stop but her heart was stronger, told her to relax and enjoy it. His kiss was warm and welcoming, like when she kissed Sora. Stop thinking about him and focus on the guy you're kissing now, Kairi! Focus! Her body felt weak and her breathing grew rasper.
She was open to him for some reason. She wanted to pull away but was afraid she would miss the feel of his lips against hers. She pushed the back of his head, making their kiss deeper and passionate. His fingers went to her hairclip, letting her hair down and throwing it away. He ran them through his hand, feeling the softness of it. He placed his hand on her back and held her, holding her stronger than before.
Finally, she broke the kiss and stared into his eyes, sorrow and guilt surronded it. He smiled and placed a quick kiss on her lips. "I promised I wouldn't go this far but my hormones took the better of me I guess. Sorry, redhead," said the boy. Kairi's eyes widened to the nickname he called her. Her heart broke, knowing only one person called her that.
Her hands shakingly untyed his mask and she gasped when she saw his face. It was him. Her feelings grew dissapointed and used. How could he do this to her? How could he take advantage of her? Was this another prank to him? Sora turned to her and smiled weakly. "Hey, whats up? Feeli-,"
SLAP
He closed his eyes, letting the pain on his cheek wear off. He could hear her breathing grew heavier and her anger rising. "What the hell is wrong with you! Is this some kind of a joke to you? Are my feelings that unimportant? You think you can just go around and kiss me like I'm some kind of slut? Do you? Why did you do this to me? Why?"
"I wanted to make you smile! You're so stressed now and you rarely talk to me or whatever! I miss that, Kairi! I miss our arguments, our bickering!"
"I don't give a fuck! That still is no reason for you to play my feelings like that! You're such a heartless son of a bitch, Sora! I hate you! This is the last straw! You've gone to far already!"
"Why are you so mad? You had fun didn't you?"
"That's why I'm mad. I had fun but I didn't want it to be with you! I don't want you in my life! For once, think about others than yourself,"
Kairi stood up and ran off, tears falling from her eyes as she sobbed but she was too tired. Her legs gave in as the waves crashed to her, making her wet. She sobbed on the sand, hitting it in frustration. She wanted to just die right there. She felt so cheap. He was so mean and useless for doing such a thing to her. I knew it was him….I knew it was him but I let it be. Its my fault not his. Its mine. I'm so stupid.
A pair of arms wrapped themselves around her shivering body and she didn't know what to do so she hugged him back. She couldn't stay mad at him. He did do it for her, not for himself. "I'm sorry okay? I didn't intend to make you mad. I just felt responsible for your stress. I wanted to let you have fun. You barely even talk to me anymore. I don't want that. Even if you want to scold me, go ahead. Hearing your voice is enough for me,"
She sobbed even harder now and gripped him tighter as he rubbed his cheek to her hair, rubbing her back gently. She dug her fingernails to his shirt, wetting him with her tears as it mixed with the water from the sea. "I'm sorry. I'll try and take some time off so I can order you to do stuff for me, okay?" whispered Kairi with a sad smile. He laughed softly and broke the hug, wiping her tears away. "That's my Kai,"
Kairi laughed and stood up, splashing Sora with water she threw at him. He laughed with her and threw back some water as they played along the sea. Her giggle made him smile and his smile made her giggle. Perfect combination huh? She laughed as the salty water made their way to her face. Sora chuckled as the water drenched his clothes, tickling him.
They enjoyed the time they had together and Sora held her waist and twirled her around, lifting her off her feet. She laughed and smiled. Another night with Sora was enough fun for her anytime. "Well, well, having fun I see?" asked a voice interupting their laughter. Sora dropped Kairi and smiled when he saw the boy.
"Long time no see. How have you been?" asked Sora.
"I'm doing fine. You know, just checking on my friends. Heard this girl is my brother's ex. True?"
"Yeah," replied Sora meekly. "You moving here?"
"Yup. Came here to tell Axel the good news. He's staying with me so he won't have to live with that girls father anymore," Kairi's heart stopped beating when she heard that. "W-What did you say?" asked the girl. The boy closed his eyes and sighed when he realised he slipped. "Bro, don't tell her!" yelled Axel who just came running to them.
"She deserves to know Axel! Its been kept a secret long enough,"
"Just don't tell her. Please!"
"I'm sorry Axel. I have to dissapoint you,"
"What's going on here?" snapped Kairi and looked to them. "Well?"
"Reno, I'm warning you!" yelled Axel again but Reno ignored him. "Kairi……Axel is…umm….he's umm…,"
"He's what?" whimpered Kairi, afraid of what he'll tell her. "Reno, please," begged Axel with saddening eyes. Reno turned to Axel and smiled weakly. Axel sighed in defeat and gave his brother a look to tell Kairi the truth. Kairi was shaking to worry for what the boys were going to tell her. What secret were they talking about and when she heard the news, her heart shattered right there and her body disfunctioned straight away.
"Kairi……Axel's your brother. You guys are related,"
