Chapter 5
"Yo! Beaver!"
"Oh! Hey Neki!" Beaver, aka Kairi, called back.
"You seen that dork brother of mine?" Neki asked the red head. Said girl shook her head.
"Nope! Last time I saw him he was playing swords with Tidus."
"Well we need to get home, and if he ditched me here, it'll be his funeral," Neki growled.
"You can always catch a ride with Reni, Riku, or me." Kairi said and rolled her eyes when Neki started drooling at the name of her crush, "Babe, you're drooling."
"Oh! Eraser!" Neki shrieked and wiped at her mouth. Kairi laughed and got up from the sand.
"Let's check the so called secret place." Kairi suggested and took Neki's hand, "Shall we?"
"We shall!" Neki responded and started skipping with Kairi to the secret place.
"Sora? You in here?" Kairi called into the darkness. Neki looked at Kairi then back at the entrance, "You goin' in?"
"Yeah." Neki giggled, "How else we gunna find 'im?"
"Too true," Kairi giggled as well and followed Neki in, "You see him?"
"Yeah," Neki said, her voice rough.
"Neki what's up?" Kairi said and tried to peer over the blonde's shoulder.
"Snoggin'! SORA AND RENI ARE SNOGGIN'!" She shrieked and caused a 'snoggin' couple to break apart blushing, "I think I'm going to be sick…"
"Tell me about it," Kairi grimaced bent over and holding her stomach and mouth.
"What's all the commotion about?" Riku's voice shouted from the mouth of the cave.
"THEY WERE SNOGGIN'! Neki called back.
"Who were?" Riku questioned as he came upon a still crouching Kairi and a green around the gills Neki.
"They were!" Neki cried with wide eyes and flung herself into Riku's chest for protection from the sight.
"Sora and Reni? I thought Sora hated girls."
"SHE MADE ME DO IT!" Sora shouted, finally defending himself.
"But you sure didn't stop me." Reni commented turning herself away from the frightened brunette.
"ARGH! You make me sick you evil evil girl!" He cried and stood up, running past the group of sickened people and outside.
"YOU BETTER NOT BE GOING HOME SORA! I'LL WHIP YOU!" Neki yelled to him.
"You can ride with me. Reni can ride in Kairi's boat with her." Riku explained, still holding onto her. Neki thought a moment about the proposition.
"SORA GO HOME!" Neki shouted again to him, but this time she was blushing profusely. Riku was as well, since he was still holding Neki. The two separated, and exited, Kairi and Reni following behind.
"Sora is gone, so I'm heading home," Kairi said to the pair, "Ready to go Reni?"
"Ready to go," Reni repeated with a nod, "See ya when you get home Riku."
"Chat ya later Reni," Neki waved. Reni returned the gesture and ran to catch up with Kairi, who was waiting in her boat.
"I guess that just leaves us then, huh?" Riku blushed.
"Wanna just head home…?" Neki blushed as well. Riku nodded, and got up enough strength to take her hand in his and lead her to the boat.
Up ahead, Reni and Kairi watch sadly as Riku's boat gained on theirs, "Plan 'Get Neki and Riku to go out' was a failure…" Kairi grimaced.
"Maybe so, but plan 'Trick Kairi with a crack pot plan so I can snog Sora' was a success!"
"…"
"Kairi?"
"I'M GUNNA KILL YOU!"
-----
"A duck?"
Neki nodded her head, "Yes a duck."
Reni crossed her arms, "But how can Sora be a duck?"
"It simple really."
Kairi furrowed her brow, "Oh?"
"It's an expression." Neki stated simply with a smug grin.
"An expression?" Riku asked her from the doorway of Reni's room.
"RIKU!" Reni screeched and picked up a pillow to throw at him. Neki lunged herself at Reni, tackling the girl onto her bed.
"NO HE'S GOT FOOD!" She cried. Reni looked at her brother again to see that he did in fact have a tray with some snacks for them.
"FOOD!" Reni squealed and wriggled out from under the older blonde to get the tray from Riku, "Thanks!" Setting the tray down in between Kairi, Neki, and herself, she took up the pillow again, "Now can I?" she asked looking back and Neki.
"Go ahead!" she said and popped a potato chip into her mouth. Reni nodded and turned her attention back to Riku.
"I thought I told you not to come in my room…"
"Mom told me to!" Riku defended and backed slowly out into the hallway. Reni walked forward slowly, swinging the pillow dangerously.
"Don't blame your ignorance on Mother..." Reni continued. Riku looked down the hallway at the kitchen, the safety zone since their mom was there, "Don't you even—"
"MOOOOOOM!" Riku cried and bolted for the kitchen "Mom! Mom! Mom! Reni is trying to beat me with a pillow 'cause I took snacks in her room!"
"Reni, don't hit your brother! I told him to!" the older woman sighed, "Really now, you used to sleep with Riku when you were younger! What happened?" she asked herself shaking her head.
"We grew up…" Riku stated.
"I'm going back into my room and Riku better not come in or I'll be your only child." Reni glared at her brother and ran back into her room.
"So that's why Sora is a duck…" Kairi thoughtfully nodded.
"YOU TOLD HER WITHOUT ME?"
"Well all it means is I'm calling Sora gay."
"…"
"Reni?" Neki asked.
"That's it?" the younger blonde whined, "We already know that! Geeze…"
"Did you know he's gay with Riku?"
"…"
"Reni?" Kairi questioned the younger girl's serious expression.
"REALLY?" Reni blurted out in the manner of a high-pitched squeal. Neki nodded while Kairi and a spying Riku ran for tissue for their bloodied ears.
-----
"I just remembered something…"
Reni looked over from her bed at the perplexed Neki, "Yeah, what?"
"I forgot my toothbrush…" Neki groaned. She was a dental hygiene fanatic.
You are not.
-nodnod- I am now! I have to at least whiten my teeth one shade before I get my braces…
Oh…
"Can't you just go back home and get it?" asked Kairi from her magazine that she was reading.
"The doors are locked."
"Don't you have your keys?" inquired Reni, who lay on her stomach. Neki shook her head.
"I lost 'em again." Reni laughed at the older blonde.
"Dork." Kairi joked.
"AM NOT THOSE THINGS ARE HUGE!" Neki defended.
"So you're saying you're short?" Reni replied. Neki's eyes twitched in annoyance.
"I'll just sneak in threw a window or something…"
"You break into your house?" Kairi asked bewildered.
"On many occasions," Neki nodded with a yawn. Standing up, she slipped her jacket on, and put on a pair of sweats, since she was wearing boxers. Grabbing her shoes she stopped at the door, "I'll be back in fifteen minutes."
"Bye!" Both girls chorused to their friend. Neki silently shut the door and started for the living room.
"You really think she'll break in without anyone noticing?" questioned Kairi.
"When we were still living with Sora, we went downstairs and bit Sora's hair to see if it was a muffin. He didn't wake up."
"Well that's Sora, what about her mom?" Kairi asked.
"A few days later, we played tag in the hallway with Sora in the middle of the night. Half the time we were screaming and running past Momma's room. She never woke up."
"Really?"
"She'll be fine," Reni nodded and went back to daydreaming in her warm bed.
-----
As Neki approached her house, she readjusted her sweats, and zipped her jacket up the rest of the way, "Let's go," she whispered to herself and walked around towards the backyard, where her window was.
Grabbing their stool on the way to her window, she placed it sturdily in front of the part with no screen, "Crap! Forgot the screwdriver," she hopped off the stool and ran towards the shed, where her dad kept all his tools. Neki opened a few drawers until she found the flat tip screwdriver she usually used, then headed back to the stool.
She pried off the screen and slid her window open, then climbed in through the window very carefully, so she wouldn't wake her father. Landing softly on her bed, she let out a sigh, "So far so good," Neki whispered.
"BUGLAR!" A voice screamed. Sora's.
"ERASER!" Neki squeaked, "You've got to be kidding me!" she hissed as she dived into her closet. Damn that acute hearing of his.
"Sora what's the matter?"
"Honey is everything alright?"
And damn his loud voice while she was at it.
-----
"Hey Kairi…" Reni sat up and prodded the half asleep girl.
"What?" Kairi mumbled back.
"What time is it?"
Kairi sat up and looked at Reni's clock, which her body was obscuring from Reni's view, "Three twenty-five, why?"
"Neki left sixteen minutes ago. She's late." Reni sat up and ran her fingers through her hair, "Ohmeegursh what is something bad happened to her…"
Kairi rolled her eyes and sat up as well, "It's only been one minute, and besides, what could happen?" Reni turned to her in surprise.
"Um, well let's see. She could have been kidnapped, kidnapped, kidnapped—"
"Thrown in jail."
Reni paused, "Excuse me?"
Kairi yawned, "She could have been thrown in jail for breaking and entering."
"But it's her house…"
"The police probably won't believe her." Kairi said flatly and lay back down.
Reni sighed and thought about the possibilities, "YOU DIDN'T HELP ANY!" Reni screamed and hit the red head with her pillow.
-----
Neki held her breath as her parents and her brother entered her room, "In here honey?"
"Mom!" Sora whined. What a baby! Neki scowled disdainfully. How Riku could be friends with that thing she'd never know.
"Sorry! But you heard it from your sister's room right?" She didn't hear him answer so she assumed that he nodded. Neki heard her father sigh.
"Well I don't see anyone, let's go back to bed," he yawned obviously tired.
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN LOOK!" Sora whined loudly. How immature.
"Sora, your father and I are very tired. Let's just go to bed. You obviously just imagined it." Sora huffed, and by instinct she knew he had crossed his arms and started pouting, "If anything is stolen, we'll believe you from now on okay?"
Sora didn't answer at first, "Okay…"
"Off to bed with ya, monster," her dad, Kucin, joked.
That's pronounced q-sin.
Kucin?
I'm tired. I have school tomorrow. Shut up.
-rolls eyes-
Neki finally heard the door shut and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, "Thank god." Carefully opening her closet door, she crept into the hall, past the idiot's room and her parent's room, and into the bathroom. After grabbing her toothbrush, toothpaste, and pixie stix flavored floss, she lurched up the stairs, and back into her room. Making sure that everything was as it was when she came in, she crept back out the window, shut it, and put the screen back on. Then she put the stool and flat tip screw driver back where she found them, and furtively ran into the front yard, down the street, and back into Reni's room.
"GAF!" Kairi screamed when a pillow once again made contact with her face, "What is it with you two and pillows?"
"Hey! Pillows are weapons of mass destruction," Neki glowered. Kairi jeered at her comment.
"And marshmallows will destroy us all…NEKI!"
Neki gave the girl a blank stare, "Duh."
"When did you get back?" Kairi asked, shrugging off Neki's grin.
"Right about the time you and Sora were macking off in the back seat of his car," Kairi's face blew up in shades of red Neki never knew existed, "I didn't know you had a naughty side Beaver! I'm so proud." Neki sneered and wiped at a crocodile tear that fell down her cheek.
"Shut up!" Kairi growled. Neki rolled her eyes and sat down on Reni's bed, gently shaking the girl.
"Wake up. Sora's over and he's half naked." Reni lurched out from under the covers with a camera and an empty roll of film shoving the film into the camera as she ran down the stairs.
"When do you think she'll realize that you lied?" Kairi asked with a yawn settling back into her sleeping bag.
"When pigs fly." Kairi rose her brow but said nothing. Reni came flying back into the room while glaring at Neki.
"He wasn't there!" she whined. Neki made a sad face.
"I told him to wait…He must have got embarrassed and left. He really likes you, ya know. Talks about you in his sleep and everything." Neki nodded solemnly as she spun her lie.
"Really?" Reni asked eating it up. Kairi stared at Neki with wide eyes. Reni sighed sadly and climbed back into bed, "Oh! Welcome back! You didn't get caught by the police did you?" Neki gave a confused look and raised her eyebrow.
"Why the heck would the police be in the rural part of town. Everybody knows that they only patrol the urban half." Neki scoffed and stood from her spot on the floor, "Anyway, I'm going to brush my teeth," she said and left for the bathroom.
"She's a demon," Kairi said under her breath. Reni smiled.
"Close, but no cigar."
End!
Neki is such an evil little scamp!
She lied to Reni! D8
So? I lie all the time…
Really?
-nodnod- It's my specialty. That and being weird. But I digress. This chapter is rather short, don't you think?
Have you lied to me?
-rolls eyes- Well I think so. Next chapter will be longer, and funnier I can tell you that, but what exactly might happen? Rainy?
…
Well?
I don't know yet…
