Chapter 27: All I want for Christmas is you
Darkness, silence, coldness.
All surronded her, she shivered from the nights sight. Her slender arms hugged her arms, attempting to warm her body. Her head bobbed left and right. Nothing. There was nothing there, no humans, no plants, no animals, no buildings. Just plain pitch black.
"Hello?" she cried out. Her voice echoed everywhere, it sent her chills. Fog covered her feet, she was lost and confused. Saliva was gulped down as she stepped forward, moving towards the darkness. Her teeth slightly chattered not just from the low temperature, but also from fear. She was alone and there was nothing viewable around the terrifed soul. Her footsteps could be heard, clomping against the ground below her. Her eyes kept turning left and right occasionally, trying to find out her location.
Whoosh
She clutched her chest from shock, her eyes widened to the blazing flames in front of her. She fell back a litle bit, backing away from the majestic fire that burned suddenly in front of her. Her orbs reflected the curves as they flickered, lighting the night. As she stepped backwards, she accidently stumbled on something and tripped, falling on her bum. She groaned and mumbled words and stopped to look to the object to which she tripped upon. When she saw it, her heart just stopped right there.
In front of her, on the ground, was Namine. Her blonde hair covered her face but Kairi could still see the blood coming from her slightly opened mouth. Blood also came from her stomach, her blue eyes wide open. Terror and fear shown in them. Kairi screamed with fear and quickly scrurried away from the corspe as fast as she could. She began running, tears falling down.
What's going on? What's happening? Where am I? W-Was that N-Namine?
Her head turned around while she ran and was shocked to see flames following her and they were bigger than ever. She turned back in front and ran faster. She ran and ran with all her might but when she saw IT, she stopped dead in her tracks. She yelled as loud as ever for before her eyes, bodies of her friends and families lay everywhere. She shook her head in disbeliefment and ran to her mother.
"Mom! Wake up! Dad, Michelle, Riku, Selphie, Wake up!" She shook their lifeless bodies as hard as she could, her eyes widened when she saw her hands stained with blood. A cry erupted from her, she sobbed and flopped to the ground. Her body shook as her face was smudged with the blood her hands held. She didn't care. She just wanted to join and die there too. The flames behind her was fast on her and coming. She turned around and braced herself for the fiery hell to send her to her grave.
He then came.
She felt someone's presence in front of her, her eyes opened. She was surprised to see Sora in front of her, standing and frowning down to her. The fire approaching them. "Sora, get out of the way! You're going to get killed!" she yelled, he just stood there. "What's the matter? Don't you want me dead?" his raspy voice asked. Kairi blinked with confusion and gripped her dress tighter,she stared to him. He merely stared back.
"Wha-What are you talking about?"
"You want me dead right? You've told me so many times to go and die,"
"Don't be silly! I don't want you to die!"
He glared. "Why not? You hate me right?"
She lowered her head and bit her lip. Her whole body shook. She didn't know how to answer him, she was speechless. Her mind tried to find an answer but all was blank. "Answer me!" he snapped, awaiting her answer.
"I…I-I…-,"
"You hate me, right? Don't you? Don't you!" His voice was scaring her. She kept quiet, tears falling. The blood on her hands dripping from her fingers. He turned impatient and hoisted Kairi up, forcing her to look to him. Through her wet eyes, she saw anger formed in his once gentle blue orbs. His hands fimrly gripped her shaking body. His fingers cupping her chin, making her turn to him.
"St-Stop…please…you're hur-hurting me," she slowly whispered. This was not the Sora she knew. He remained the same, his firm got tronger. "Answer me first!" he boomed, making her cry and whimper.
"I…I…I-I…I don't know," she said, her voice muffled. His expression softened. His firm loosened and he released her. She slowly looked to him, he began walking back. The flames were so close to them. "Well then," he began, sadness devouring his every inch. She was hurt seeing him sad. "I guess I can't wait for you anymore. You still don't know your own feelings. I'm tired of waiting. I'm sick of it! Goodbye…your time is up," and with that, the flames approached him, burning his body.
She sobbed and cried, yelling for him. The flames stayed there, she could still see him burning. For some reason, he smiled and held out his hand. Kairi didn't know what to do? Accept his hand and go to him or stay there and watch him go? She didn't have much to think. She held out her hand as well and ran towards the flames, blood falling from her wrist. She was nearing him, inches away. She tried to catch his wrist but too late. He dissolved.
Her eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened. She turned around and saw that her friends and families bodies were gone as well. She was alone once more. She shook her head and held it.
"No, I'm too late…no, no, no,no, no. Riku, Selphie, mom, dad, Namine, Roxas, Tidus, Michelle, everybody…I'm so sorry…"
Silence came, the fire still formed behind her. She spun around and slwoly walked to the flames, they roared for her. She walked like a zombie, her hands bloody and gorey.
"Wait for me Sora…I'm coming,"
With that, the flames licked her every inch as she was burnt, feeling her life being taken away from her. She was leaving to join the others and she waas going to him. She didn't care about anything now, all that mattered was him…
"Sora…,"

Beep, beep, beep,
"Good morning Twilight Town! The sun is up and it's a beautiful Christmas morning so everyone get out of your beds and check what santa brought for ya'll. In other news, it-,"
Her finger turned off her alarm radio as she slowly blinked her eyes open.She sat up from the dream she had just had. It was weird but somehow, she felt it had an impact on her. She then remembered yesterday's incident. A smile couldn't help but grace over her lips as she sat up from her bed and ran her fingers across her palm. He touched me, he held my hand back. He's recovering and he'll fully recover. I know it… She jumped off her bed and made her bed neatly before entering her bathroom and proceeded with her daily morning routines. She began humming as she took a shower, the hot liquid caressing every inch of her body. She was extremely happy today and it wasn't due to the fact that it was Christmas.
After finishing cleaning herself, she dressed up, adding a dash of extra makeup just for the festive season. She was busy wrapping her scarf around her neck when her eyes met with a bag. It was the bag that consisted of items that Sora had with him before…well, before the misfortune fell upon his poor soul. She bit her lip, Mr Revene passed it to her for he thought Kairi deserved to take it for some reason. She shook her head slightly and grabbed the bag, slowly opening the tape that sealed the bag shut tight.
Opening it wide open, she traced her fingers across the smooth fabric of his jacket. She took it out and buried her face onto the material. She smelled the softness of the clothing, remembering how sweet it smelled. She blushed and smiled as she unzipped the zip of the black jacket and wrapped herself with it, removing her purple one instead. It was quite big for her considering she was smaller than him but somehow, she felt safe wearing it. It felt as though he were holding her with his strong arms but it was just a feeling of course. Nothing more…
She rummaged through the contents more, trying to find anything intresting but found nothing. She was about to close the bag when something shiny caught her eye. Her eyebrows arched as her fingers reached out to retrieve the item. She managed to entangle it with her slender fingers and she pulled the item out slowly. Her breath was rasp when she saw it was the bracelet. Her bracelet. The one she had torn when she broke her friendship with him. The one she thought she had thrown away forever from her life. But now, it was right in front of her eyes.
She couldn't help but shed a tear, touched that he had sewn it back and kept it. Kairi saw that there were extra decorations together with the real accessories. Then, she knew it had turned into his charm. She bit her lip and held the bracelet in her grasp, smiling.
"Don't worry Sora," she said with determinacy. "I'll get this charm to you. And when you wake up, you got some explaining to do to why you never gave me back this bracelet, you fishbreath you," She laughed to her own words, picking the bags that consisted of presents with her as she exited her dorm, locking it on the way.

"Merry Christmas,"
Those words would escape her lips every second for she greeted every passer by she met or saw. They would return the greeting and that would make her even more happy. To be honest, she didn't even know why she was happy. Maybe it had to do with the fact it was Christmas. She smiled, knowing it also had to do with him but she would never admidt it. At least, not out loud of course…
She stopped her steps for a while, gazing to the church that was built there. it was magnificent and elegant. The design looked old but somehow, it added the holy effect. Kairi checked her wristwatch, seeing that she had spare time before she went to the hospital. She made her way forward towards the church and entered. Children of all ages were around and so were priests and all. They were walking around, the praying centre was deserted. Since it was Christmas, maybe she thought they were already ripping apart the wrapping paper that emboded their presents.
The sounds produced by her heels echoed throughout the hall, they clicked against the marble. She walked to the front row and placed her items to the polished floor and gazed to her creator in front. She felt weird. She wasn't how you would call a very religious girl but she cared for it. She was rarely at a church but now, she needed the almighty's help. Especially on Christmas. Kairi cleared her throat, pulling Sora's jacket closer to her body. As her palms came together, she glanced up and sighed.
"Umm…I don't know how to start this. I know this sounds stupid…but I'm kinda embarassed to speak out my prayer," said Kairi, she turned around and made sure she was alone. Her head then turned back around and she hung her head low.
"You say you can give happiness and sadness to all your creations at any time…," began Kairi, gripping her fingers together firmly. "But all I've experienced you giving me was plain sadness. Misery, torture, pain, not even one speck of happiness nor joy in my life. Why? Am I that useless until you don't pity me?"
Her voice echoed eveywhere, the atmosphere felt still and moody. She lifted her head to reveal tears falling. "Please…I'm begging you…all I want is just one happiness. Don't take away my happiness…don't take away…Sora," Her heart scrunched up inside her chest as she sobbed quietly. Her tears fell below to the marbled floor. She sniffed up but couldn't stop the pain she experienced. This was not how she wanted her Christmas to be. She wiped her tears from her puffy red eyes and looked up.
"Please…this is my only wish. There is nothing else I want. Nothing else matters. All I want…is to have him by my side…not just for Christmas but forever…," Kairi then formed a broken smile to her wet face, sniffing and sobbing. "I know he may not be the most perfect guy out there but……he's all I have. So…please, please, I beg to you from the bottom of my heart. Don't take Sora from me…I need him…so much,"
She ended her prayer there and stood up, carrying her bags. She brushed her tears away and quickly ran out of the church, wanting no longer to sit in there for she would continue crying if she did. The cold wind blew against her cheek, sending chills down her shivering spine. Why did she want to be with him? Why did she even make a prayer for him? Could it be she's in lo-
No
Those words will never come from her mouth, never. She shook her head and brushed away the tears. "Get a grip Kairi. You…just want to thank him for saving your life. That's all. No biggie," and with that, she smiled to herself and continued walking to the hospital.

Ting
The elevator doors swooshed open, she stepped out carefully out of the doors. Checking her watch for the time, Kairi realised she had at least an hour to spend Christmas with Sora. Hopefully. She turned around the corner and saw his door already. For some reason, she felt nervous.
Its just Sora okay? Not a monster or a zombie. Sheesh, what is wrong with me?
She huffed to herself and walked towards the door. Before she could enter though, her cellphone vibrated in her back pocket. Her fingers reached for the communicating device and she flipped it open, placing it beside her ear. "Hello?"
"Hey, Kai. Merry Christmas,"
"Oh, hi Namie. Merry Christmas to you too,"
"So, where are you? Mom and dad are at home and so am I,"
"Oh…umm…I'm at…umm…-uh..,"
"You're at the hospital aren't ya?"
"…yeah,"
Namine giggled through the receiver, making Kairi fume. "I undertsand, you naughty Kairi. Anything you want to say to mum or dad?"
"Yeah, tell them I said Merry Christmas,"
"Okay. Bye!"
"Bye!"
The yound redhead then flipped back her phone and placed it into her pocket. Clutching Sora's jacket closer to her, she placed her fingers around his doorknob but before she could enter, a voice boomed throughout the whole facility.
"MY BABY! MY BABY BOY! NO! HE'S GONE! HE'S DEAD! HE'S GONE! MY POOR SON!"
Kairi turned her head to see who on earth was yelling so loud. She saw a middle aged woman hovering herself over a stretched with a body on top. Normally, Kairi would ignore this but now, she couldn't because she recognised that woman. Oh, she recognised her very well.
It was Sora's mum.
Which meant…
Kairi's breath turned shallow when she saw spiky brown locks coming from under the sheet of the body. The woman or Mrs Revene kept on crying while shaking the corspe. Doctors tried to calm her down but it was no use. Kairi's lip quivered and her eyes twitched. No, this can't be happening…he's not dead…it can't be… Tears began forming inside her eyes, slowly falling and rolled across her pale cheek. The grip on her bag loosened and she released it, all the contents dropping to the ground. Kairi's whole body shook as she tried to absorb the truth.
"NO! MY POOR SON! HE'S DEAD! HE'S GONE! MY BABY! COME BACK TO ME! PLEASE!" begged Mrs Revene, following the stretcher as the doctors controlled it towards the morgue room. They passed Kairi, who slowly watched as the people walked away. Seeing the spiky brown hair that came out of the white sheet made her want to cry more. Her whole system seemed to have shut down. Her mind was vacant while her body numb from her surrondings. Salty tears kept on falling non stop. She couldn't bear the pain anymore.
"No…he-he's n-not de-dead," she muttered, mist coming from her slightly opened mouth. She shook her head in dismayel, watching helplessly as Mrs Revene mourned over her dead son.
"Hey Kairi. Merry Chistmas," chirped Selphie as she stood beside Kairi. The redhead didn't reply, she kept on staring away. Selphie saw tears coming from Kairi's blue orbs and got worried. "Kairi, what's wrong?"
"I…ki-killed him Se-Selph,"
"What?"
"I……killed……him,"
"Who?" asked Selphie, getting concerned to her friend. Kairi couldn't reply. She was too tired to do so. She just wanted to die right there and go to Sora. Joining him in death. She clenched her knuckles wanting to stop crying but that made it worst. She held her hand in front of her face, covering her mouth while she made choking noises. Swallowing her saliva, she ran from the spot.
"Kairi! Come back! What's gotten into that girl?" asked Selphie out loud, looking to Kairi who kept on bumping into nurses and doctors when she ran. The brunette shrugged and entered Sora's room, closing it back. Inside was Tidus, Roxas, Riku, Michelle, Olette and…
Sora?
"Hey everybody. Merry Christmas," she greeted, sitting beside Sora's bed. The other's greeted her back, laughing and smiling on a wonderful christmas day. Selphie turned to Sora who was on the bed, wide awake and smiling his usual smile. She grinned to him and gave him a soft hug. "How're you feeling Sora? Good to be awake from coma?"
"Yeah, I feel great. Doctors say I'll be out of here tomorrow maybe,"
"That's good. So, anything new guys?"
"Not much. Where's Kairi? She said she was coming?" asked Michelle, getting annoyed by Riku who was busy trying to get the both of them under a mistletoe. Selphie grabbed some chips from Tidus and popped them into her mouth. "Dunno. When I came, she was crying for some reason and then she ran off. Before she did, she was acting strange though,"
"Strange?" asked Roxas, playing with a santa hat.
"Yeah. She kept on muttering 'I killed him, I killed him' Don't know who she meant and before I could ask, she already ran off,"
Sora immediately got worried but tried his best to not show it. He hung his head low and began fiddling with his fingers. Why was she crying…and why didn't she come and visit me? Didn't she miss me? Aww, who am I kidding? Forget about her and enjoy Christmas will ya? He lifted up his head and grinned to his friends.
"So, anyone wanna play truth or dare?"
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-
"I told you she would do the dare," said Riku, smirking to a pouting Sora. They were still playing truth or dare and the game has been happening for a few hours. Christmas was slowly passing by and everyone in the room was happy. Selphie beamed with pride, proud she fullfilled her dare of licking the floor ten times. Sora shook his head, he was now fully changed into normal clothes for he insisted the hospital clothes were too embarassing. He even got back his wallet and handphone so basically, he was ready to leave the hospital. But the doctors wanted him there for one more day, for test to be runned against him.
"Okay, Sora. Truth or dare?" asked Selphie, chewing on her pixie stick. Sora sat cross legged on the bed and thought deeply to the choice. "Truth," he said.
"Fine, tell us TRUTHFULLY, who you're in love with?"
Sora blushed to this question and was even moe tensed when all of them were looking to him, wanting to know the answer. He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head. He debated on telling them about his confused feelings but he will be laughed at for sure. A sigh came from his tired voice as he faced all of his companions.
"…… I can't say her name…,"
"Aww, why not?" whined Sephie, crossing her arms. Sora frowned and bit his lip with nervousness, for some reason, his heart was beating frantically. Roxas saw his twin's uneasiness and smirked. "I think I know who it is. You don't have to tell me, bro,"
Sora arched an eyebrow, making Roxas laugh while the others wore blank looks. Sora could tell that the blonde male knew who he meant thus, he blushed slightly. Selphie was still unpleased with the answer the brunette gave them so she nudged Sora softly on the ribs. "Tell me something, Sora. Is the girl you like by any chance……umm, I dunno…could it be Kairi?" Sora's eyes widened to the sound of her name, he slowly turned to Selphie with a weak smile.
"Of course not. We're enemies and always bicker. There ain't no way Kairi's going to fall for me. Besides, I-,"
SLAM
Everyone shifted their gaze to the opened slammed door, seeing a worried Namine panting heavily. "Baby, what's wrong?" asked Roxas, standing up from his place. Namine slowly began to regain her normal breathing as she kept her concerned expression and lifted her hand up. "Ha-Have…any of y-you seen K-Kairi?" she managed to breathe out. The gang turned to each other, confused.
"Well, the last time I saw her was a few hours ago. She went off running when I arrived here," said Selphie. "Why? What's wrong?"
Namine placed her hand on her sweaty forehead and began breathing heavily again. Roxas, worried to his girlfriend's actions went to her and held her free hand. "Namie, tell me what's wrong. What's with Kairi and all? Is she alright?"
"I…I don't know. That's why I came here. I thought she would be here. She won't answer her phone and she's been missing since 8 hours ago. No one knows where she is and…I'm really worried," claimed Namine, about to cry. Roxas slid his arms around her and formed an embrace, whispering soothing words to her ear. Sora, perked up upon hearing about Kairi's vanishing act. He, without thinking, grabbed Roxas's jacket that was on a chair and pushed roughly past the couple, running out of his room.
"Sora! Come back! You're still not well yet! Co- Ah, what's the use," mumbled Roxas, failing to stop his brother who was sprinting down the hallway. Sora slid the jacket on and continued running, bumping into people that were passing by. His mind was going crazy, only her image remained clear there. Why was she always worrying him like this? Did she love torturing him so much?
Why am I even wanting to look for her? She's nothing to me……right?
He shook his head, clearing his thoughts and only focused on finding her first. He dashed out of the hospital's entrance, his head turned left and right. He then decided to check the school first, maybe she would be at the spot. With his weak legs, he mustered up what strength he could to quickly make his way to the school which was 5 blocks away from the hospital. His breathing was heavy, mists forming while the snow began blowing heavily to him. He didn't care that his body was feeling numb and he could faint right there. He didn't care if his legs felt like they could break in half right then, he didn't care. All that mattered was her.
His head kept on shifting, hoping to find anything that resembled Kairi. He took out his phone and punched in he number, placing the receiver beside his ear. Waiting impatiently for the phone to be answered, the beeping tone wouldn't stop.
Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently not available. Please leave a message after the beep
Beep
"………Ka-Kairi…where are you? Come on, pick up the phone and tell me where you are… don't hurt me like this. Please…,"
He pressed end call and dialed her number again, people were running away saying something about a destructive storm coming that night. He couldn't care less for even the mightiest storm of all could not stop him from seeing her.
Nothing could.

Crunch, crunch, cunch
The sounds of snow being stepped on could be heard as she slowly walked, people running the other direction to where she was headed. It was reported a blizzard might happen and everyone was rushing back home to be safe and sound. All except for Kairi. She was walking aimlessly, her mind wandered to the main thing.
Sora was dead.
Gone from her life. She wouldn't be able to call him names or insult him anymore. All her energy felt drained. Even her tears were frozen by the coldness around her. She didn't care if she died. It was better than living in a world she knew she would never achieve happiness in. A frown remained on her lips as her body slouched forward. Her emotions were nothing, lonely, she was lost. Broken. Nothing seemed bright to her anymore. She felt by every step she took forward, her heart shattered into another piece.
Why? Why did you leave me?
Her hatred and anger towards god was high, raged that he couldn't even keep his promise to her. She placed her gloved arms around her body, inhaling the scent from his jacket. It was sweet and comforting. Somehow, she was smiling through the tears that graced her shivering and pale face. With that simple scent, she could feel as though Sora hugging her, keeping her safe.
But that would never happen. He was dead and that was that. No more people calling her redhead, no one to take care of her when she was sick, no one to have fights with, no one to hug her when she needed protection, no one to kiss her lips and say something idiotic afterwards. Nothing. She had just lost the most important soul in her life. What use was her life if she had nothing to live for?
It may sound overdramatic but she couldn't help it. He was the person who would always be there for her. The snow fell heavily, covering nearly every inch of herself. She realised the sky was getting darker and the weather was definitely going to be bad. Perfect, doing suicide is going to be easy with that condition. She was at the school, in front of the spot. Her heart tore apart when she realised how many memories she shared with him there. Flopping on a tree trunk nearby, she couldn't help it anymore. Bursting right there, her body vibrated as tears and chokes of sadness erupted from the broken girl. She wiped her tears but more kept coming. It was an endless river of tears.
She wanted to destroy every memory she had of him. Maybe his lost soul would leave her after that. Grabbing her wallet, she threw away the pictures she had of him. All the cards, money or whatever he handed to her grasp, were thrown to the snow in front. Placing her wallet beside her, she took out her phone and turned it on.
You have five voice messages
She didn't have any more strength to listen but she pressed the accept button anyway, placing the receiver beside her ear.
First voice message.
"………Ka-Kairi…where are you? Come on, pick up the phone and tell me where you are… don't hurt me like this. Please…,"
Her ears listened closely to the voice and her eyes wanted to pop out. The voice……it could only belong to one person…The person she thought she had lost, the person she didn't want to let go, the person she…she…she needed.
Seconde voice message.
"Kairi, I'm going crazy here! Pick up the god damn phone and tell me you're alright! Come on redhead, don't do this to me,"
Her heart wrenched hearing his voice. How could this be? He was supposed to be…… to be…… dead. How could he call he and leave a message. That voice. How she missed it. How much she needed it for her to move on. It was music to her ears. The purest of them all.
Third voice message.
"Do you want to make me go mad? Well, you're succeeding. Now tell me where the hell you are, Kairi! Damnit…I need to know if you're safe……you have to be,"
She choked on the tears that were slowly falling, he needed her that much?
Fourth voice message.
"Kairi, I'm like a crazy person now but…… I don't care. Please, pick up the phone and tell me your alright. Even calling me fishbreath would do… I'm begging you. Tell me your alright…… please……,"
Why? Why did she love torturing him so? She felt guilty immediately, placing her hand over her mouth as the grip on her phone tightened. Absorbing his sweet voice, she cherished every word he said but how she longed to hear him say it face to face with her. To make sure he's not dead. For her to know he was alive and healthy.
Fifth voice message.
"………… Kairi………… Kairi………… Kairi………I need you…………Kairi,"
She sobbed to hear him voice out her name over and over. She missed him calling her, but she knew she was going to hear it soon. Suddenly, footsteps began approaching her, the snow crunching underneath the person. Kairi felt the person's presence and slowly lifted her head. He eyes widened when she was face to face with the peson she was called missing for the last few days.
She stood up, her hair blowing with the heavy wind. Her mouth slightly open, tiny icicles forming from her raspy breath. There he was, standing there. His spiky locks being brushed by the heavy wind, snow began coveing it. But she could still see it was the same Sora she knew. The same Sora she missed and longed for. The same Sora… She then realised that he was clutching his handphone, tears rolled down from that. He was breathing heavily. She gripped her phone as well, both not knowing what to say. So, Kairi decided to go first.
"I'm…s-sorry I di-didn't ans-answer your ca-calls. My phone wa-was…off. I didn't-,"
But before she could finish, Sora walked up to her and grabbed her cell phone. Chucking it away, he dropped his own phone and pulled Kairi into an embrace, holding his arms firmly around her as tightly as he could. She was patient long enough. Laying her head on his broad chest, she broke down right there, wetting his shirt with her salty sweet tears. Sora sighed with relief, glad that she was unharmed and once again in his arms. She couldn't stand any longer for her knees were shaking with happiness. Her knees gave in as she limped down with Sora holding her numb body. Both on the ground below they exchanged warmth and in their minds, everything was going to be alright.
A gust of chilling wind sent a message to Sora that the storm was getting nearer. He opened his eyes and realised the snow was falling faster and more heavier. He shook the redhead slightly but to his dismay, she was unconcious, limp in his arms. He groaned slilently and hoisted the poor girl up, trying his best to move her and him towards the spot so at least they could have some shelter.
She was already back in his arms after many trials. He wans't going to let her go so easily.

"Urgh, Kairi pick up the god damn phone already!"
Roxas frowned seeing his girlfriend so tensed like that. He pulled Namine softly down to the sat next to his and gave her a kiss on the cheek, holding her hand to make it warm.
"Calm down Namie. Seeing you this worried makes me feel so useless,"
Namine smiled weakly to him and laid her head to his shoulder with a sad look. "I'm sorry Rox. You're not useless. I am…Kairi's been through so much already and I can't do anything to make her feel better. I'm such a useless sister,"
"Ssh, don't say that. You're not useless. I know that you would do anything for Kairi. But for now, I'm sure my brother is taking good care of her,"
"But what if Sora can't find Kairi? What if she's lost out there, alone and-,"
"I know Sora, Namine," said Roxas, patting the other blonde's head. "He won't stop until he finds her and something in my heart is telling me he already did and she's fine. Trust me okay?" Namine sighed and nodded slightly. Roxas assured her with a smile and pulled her into a chaste kiss as he placed her head on his shoulder, rubbing her shoulder to calm her down. Namine closed her eyes, praying to god that Kairi would be alright but Roxas was right. Sora would find her no matter what. Namine smiled weakly and nuzzled closer to her lover as both closed their eyes and washed away their problems together like that.
I'm glad you're with me on this Christmas day, baby.

The sounds of fire cackling rang through her faint ears. She opened her blue orbs slowly, seeing the flames cackle and swirl in different shapes of circle. Blinking the tiredness away she fully opened her eyes and sat up, the wolly blanket that previously covered her fell to her waist. She turned her head left and right, realising she was on the couch of the spot at their school. The fireplace was lighted, it being the only source of light that lit the whole cabin. Looking down to the cloth coveing her lower section, she bit her lip and gripped the edges. The incidents before flashed back in her spaceless mind, causing a tinge of ache flow through it.
She panicked slightly when she noticed he wasn't around. She turned to the left of the room, towards the table perched there and sighed softly with relief when she saw him standing there. Hearing clatter of glass hitting metal, she guessed he was making hot coco. She stood up on her tired legs and walked or tiptoed towards him. He was too lost in his own world to hear her footsteps coming to his direction. It was when he felt two pair of arms wrap themselves around his mid torso and weight being placed on his back. He stopped stirring the coco and dropped the spoon softly, swallowing the saliva in his dry mouth.
"This is real…," she mumbled, her voice sounded very shaky.
"Of course it is… why wouldn't it be?"
"You're…rea-really…alive…,"
Sora lowered his head with guilt, he had caused her so much pain and to make it worst, he didn't intend on doing so. He placed his hands on the arms that were on his midsection as he pulled them down softly and took the two mugs of coco and walked to the fireplace. Kairi stood there, biting her lip. Did she say something wrong to him to make him so silent? He flopped down in front of the heat, warming himself up. His eyes darted left and right aimlessly, wondering what should he say to the person who was on his mind during the whole time he was in coma.
"Why're you still standing there redhead? The coco will get cold," he muttered, using it as a lame excuse. He heard footsteps walking his way and choked when she sat down on the tattered rug beside him. Both neither wanted to look at the other and both speechless on what to say. Kairi frowned debating on wether to tell him how she felt, how she missed him so, how she needed him… He wanted to inform that she was the one who kept him wanting to live, who made him strong when he was weak, who made him feel alive…
She couldn't take it anymore. Tears slowly rolled down her cheek as they fell silently to the floor. Sora saw this and lifted his head, sipping his coco to hide the misery formed in his eyes to see her cry. He placed the mug on the floor and looked as she sobbed and cried.
"What's the matter with you?" he rudely asked.
"I…I-I…I'm so-…sorry,"
"What?" he asked, wondering what she meant by that.
"I…I-I'm sorry fo-for everything tha-that happened to you,"
"What're you talking about redhead? Sheesh, will ya stop being a baby already and tell me what's wrong?"
"Listen to me!" she snapped through her tears, startling him. "Damnit I'm sorry alright! I'm sorry that you got into that accidnet. I should have been hit not you! I'm sorry for getting you into coma! That was supposed to be me as well. I'm sorry for all the pain I made you go through! I'm sorry for getting you to the verge of life and death! I'm sory for ruining your Christmas! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Sora looked to her unexplainably as she broke down more, hugging herself and her head hung low. She just had to blow up like that. She didn't mean to yell at him. Its just that, her emotions were bottled up long enough, she just wanted some peace in her mind. At least for that night. Expecting a hard scolding for yelling to him, she was surprised when he lifted up her chin and carresed her tears away. She held a confused look as he cleared her face with his soft fingers. Those deep mesmorizing eyes of his dawned to her, looking of every inch of her face longingly.
"Don't ever say sorry for something you never did wrong," he mumbled, placing his warm hand against her wet cheek.
"Wha…What?"
"Don't say sorry for getting me into that accident. I was the one that pushed you. Even if you did push me, I'd find another car and get hit by that because I would always risk my life for you. Don't say sorry for getting me into coma and getting me into the verge of life and death. You were the only one on my mind during that time. All I thought about was you and that gave me the will to live more. I lived and fought to regain concious because of you. Don't say sorry for ruining my Christmas. How can my Christmas be ruined……... if you're there by my side?"
She was utterly lost to his words. Did he mean every word he said? Was she that important and played a huge role in his life? He finished wiping her tears away, he hesitantley pulled his hand away and shifted away from her. Taking his mug, he began to sip the coco slowly, blushing to the confession he just made.
"Sora…,"
He placed his mug to the ground and shifted his head towards her only getting his eyes turned wide open as she jumped onto him with her lips on his. He fell back to the floor with her on top, kissing him. He was shocked to her actions, it was too sudden. She didn't care. She missed him so much, she just wanted him right there and then. Nothing else mattered anymore. He shyly kissed her back, placing an arm around her back, feeling her body on top of his. This was the first kiss that she was giving him. It was always him kissing her. She never got the courage to place her lips on his before. Now, it was her time to shine. That was what made the kiss special for both of them.
The kiss tasted twice as sweet, her hair softly tickled his cheek. He used his other hand to hold her neck as the kiss became more passionate and longing. Their noses touched the other's cheek, they smiled into the liplock. With the fire atmosphere and the dim light, the romantic scenery gave more effect. He had always wanted this. After being in the darkness for a long time, feeling her tentative lips upon his was pure heaven. She missed his touch and his skin. How he kissed her brought back many bittersweet memories but the main thing was, he was there back by her side.
Needing the urge to breath, she broke the kiss and stared longingly into his eyes. He looked back, both speechless. A tinge of red could be seen reflected on their faces by the warm fire roaring in front of them. She then gave him a weak smile before placing her head onto his chest and closed her eyes.
"Welcome back, porcupine head," she muttered, hearing his heartbeat beating rapidly against his chest. He grinned back and stroked her hair softly, feeling the blissness beneath his fingertips.
"Its good to be back redhead…very good to be back,"
And with those sweet words exchanged by one another, they fell asleep, dozing off after finally passing the trials of god that he prepared for them and getting the oppurtunity to be together once more. Their hands intetwined as so their destinies and neither wanted to let the other go…not then, not ever.
All I want for Christmas is you…Sora…

Review reply to SoraRiku foreva!
Okay, I think you're kinda rude for insulting my fic like that. No offense but I don't write yaoi because I am no fan of it. If you want yaoi, find something else. My fic is pure SoraxKairi because to me, they just belong together. I know my fic maybe a bit dramatic but you don't have to say its trash. Maybe yeah, my story ain't that great but still, I try my best and it hurts so much when you say its garbage and stuff. And my OC's are how I want them to be and sorry for making some of the characters OOC. I write them as how I want them to be so yeah, sorry once more. Also, there is a thing called love-hate relationship okay? So basically, my fic is like that because I imagine Sora as my crush and Kairi as me a.k.a I have a love-hate relationship with my crush as well so sorry if you think its stupid or whatever. So please, I don't write yaoi, I don't like yaoi but I have nothing against yaoi likers. In fact, some of my friends like yaoi. So I stay away from them, you stay away from my pure, clean SoraxKairi fics okay? And please, flame me for my grammer and stuff, not my plot or anything okay?
Love always,
Angelofsweetness/Lily.
