Chapter Five

Happily Ever After?

One Week Later

Kairi was tired and exauhsted from the trip. She placed her bags on her bed and stretched. It was a nice trip, but atfer spending so many hours on the Gummi Ship, she was ready for a nice sleep. Selphie was unpacking on the bed next to hers.

"Tired, are you?" she asked Kairi after she had yawned.

"Yes, very," she answered back, "I could sleep all day."

Selphie laughed, "So could I, but didn't you promise Sora you'd meet him right when you got home?"

Kairi thought for a moment and remembered, "Oh, you're right," she said. And it was true. For the thirty minutes the three of them sat there packing, she remembered that she had made a promise to Sora that she would meet him at his house when she arrived back from her trip. And she couldn't break that promised. Because, after all, he was her boyfriend and she loved him very much. She couldn't wait to see him anyway. All throughout the trip she was thinking about him so she thought going to see him would be a good idea.

There was a knock at the door, "Go answer it," Selphie said as she refolded the clothes that she had just throw into her suitcase.

Kairi nodded and answered the door. It was Selphie's boyfriend, Tidus. He looked as though he had just saw a ghost.

"Hey, Kairi," he said in a shaky voice, "Is Selphie home?"

Kairi nodded, "Yes, she is," she said, "Come in."

She stepped aside to let him in and closed the door behind him. She followed him back to the bedroom.

"Selphie, you won't believe what I just saw," he said.

Selphie laughed, "Hopefully it wasn't me naked."

Tidus shook his head, "No, even though I wish it was," he shook his head again, "No, it was Sora and Riku."

Kairi's ears perked up like a dog's, "Sora?" she asked.

"And Riku," he nodded.

"So? They're best friends, you'll always see them together."

Tidus looked into her eyes, "Well, what I saw wasn't best friend-like. It was something different."

"Were they fighting?" Selphie asked.

"Let me finish," he gulped, "First of all, about two days ago I found a cave that I liked. I kept going there to think on things. It's the cave with all the scribblings on it."

"That's Sora and Riku's spot," Kairi explained.

"Well if I knew that I wouldn't have come there just five minutes ago."

"I'm confused...what did you see?" Kairi said, trying to edge him to the point.

"I saw them two rolling on the floor naked!" he blurted out.

Kairi immediately laughed, "You mean wrestling," she said, "They wrestle a lot. And I'm pretty sure they weren't naked!" she laughed some more.

"Kairi..." Tidus said seriously, "I saw what I saw, and I'm not crazy."

Selphie, angered, got up walked towards Tidus. She brought back her hand and swung it down hard onto his cheek, "How dare you say such a thing! Sora is Kairi's boyfriend!"

"Well, how was I supposed to know that?" he said, rubbing his cheek. For a girl, she could hit very hard.

"I can't believe this!" Kairi said and she grabbed her coat and ran out of the door.

"Now look what you've done," Selphie said and she ran after her.

As Kairi ran down the street towards the cave, she kept on thinking, "No, please let this be wrong. Let this be ok." She prayed and hoped that when she walked into the cave, she wouldn't see what she thought she was going to see. Obviously, her prayers weren't answered. For when she walked into the cave, what she saw made her scream. There the two of them were, Sora and Riku, half naked, kissing one another. The scream rung through the cave, making the two boys look up at her, alarmed.

Selphie finally made it to the cave and almost screamed herself as she watched the two boys scramble to get their clothes on. So, Tidus was right! The two of them were together alone in a cave...doing...

"How dare you!" Kairi screamed, pointing at Sora, "You're a gay freak! How could you do this to me?"

Sora finally got his shirt on and he ran over to her, "Kairi, please, listen," he tried to put his hand on her shoulder. She scrambled away.

"Don't you dare touch me!" she screamed, "Don't you ever touch me!"

"Kairi, relax," Sora said, halfway to tears. It wasn't something that he wanted Kairi to see. And this made him sad.

"Relax?!" she yelled and she laughed out loud, "How can I relax? You're sleeping with your best friend...and when you're going out with me!"

"It's not how we wanted you to find out," he said, "Please, listen to me. We were going to tell it calmly in hopes you wouldn't freak out like this."

Kairi just sat there, face scrunched with anger.

"Kairi, I'm sorry," Sora said, "I'm sorry we couldn't work out."

Kairi bit her lip, tears running down her face, "You mean we're over? You really do like Riku?"

Sora nodded, "Please, if you don't except us, it'll probably be difficult for us. We need you now more than ever."

She looked at Sora than at Riku. The two of them looked disgusting to her now, "I...I don't know...me and you are going to have problems the most. How can you do this behind my back?"

Riku stepped in, "That would be my fault, mostly," everyone looked at him, "I liked him first and he wanted to see if he liked me. If I wouldn't have said anything none of this would have ever happened."

Selphie stepped in as well, "Well, if you guys want my opinion, even though I think this was an awkward way to find out, I really think that the two of you should stay together. I mean, you love each other right?" the two boys nodded, "Yeah, but as for you," she pointed to Sora, "I believe you owe someone an apology."

"Right...I'm sorry, Kairi," he said. Kairi didn't say anything, "If you could just give us a chance...I'm sure we can all still be friends."

Kairi turned around, "All of you people are disgusting..." she said and she walked out.

Sora looked at Riku, who only shrugged, a loss of words of what to do. Selphie stepped over to him and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, guys," she said, "I'll talk to her. You'll be fine."

Sora and Riku nodded and watched her walk out of the cave. Then the two of them kissed and smiled at each other. At least they got someone's acceptance, even though their best friend now pretty much hated them. They weren't sure how it was going to end up, but they hoped it would turn out to be a happily ever after.

To be continued...

A/N...Yep, that's it. I know you're probably hating me for the stupid ending, but I wanted to finish it quickly so I could bring it to the library so I could post it. There will be a second part to it, though, called Kairi's Acceptance, it takes place when school starts again and Kairi has to struggle to her love going out with someone else. I may actually make it a rivalry between her and Riku to get Sora.

Well, anyway, I hope you liked the story. Please review it! Thanks for reading it
