Chapter 4: My Situation

(Sora's POV)

Ooooh I feel a little woozy. I slowly open my eyes and my sight was quite blurry. I blink my eyes to get focus.

The first thing that came into vision was an unfamiliar ceiling. The ceiling of my room was starry night wallpaper but the ceiling was white. Oh my goodness, please tell me I didn't get drunk and came home with a random girl again.

No I don't think it was that because right now, my right eye hurt like hell. What exactly happened? Suddenly I heard voices from beyond the door and then the doorknob rattled. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep or unconscious.

(Kairi's POV)

I can't believe it. Somebody please shoot me right now. I don't mind if a girl is laying on my bed but my goodness a guy, not to mention my worst enemy. I hate that guy… I could just strangle him while his asleep. I took my cell phone and speed dialed Roxas' number. I turned it to speaker mode and hang it around my neck with the ID collar.

I was heating up water. As much as I hate him I have to do something about that black eye of his. It started to get swollen and darken a few hours ago. Well he deserved it anyway.

"Hello Kai what's up buddy?" Roxas asked.

"Roxas can you come over here right now?" I asked straight forward.

"Sorry Kai no can do, why did something happen?" Roxas asked.

"Yeah, like I wouldn't call you if it wasn't. What's-his-name was stalking me…" I said.

"Okaaaayyyy and who exactly is What's-his-name?" Roxas asked.

"Ummm…" I tried to remember his name but alas my memory isn't that sharp on boy names. "The sea porcupine..." I said. "The brunette one…" I added before Roxas could make a retard about his hair being spike as well.

"Kai his name is Sora; can't you at least remember that?" Roxas asked. "Anyway what about him..?"

I was about to say until Roxas cut me off.

"No, wait let me guess, umm, he came at the café where you work and followed you at your apartment." Roxas guessed.

Sometimes I get scared of Roxas whenever he gets everything right. Well the last part wasn't exactly accurate but point still taken, hooray, two points for Roxas' wild guesses.

"I thought he was a robber so I hit him hard and he fainted, and now his at my apartment, my room and worse MY BED!!!" I yelled.

I heard a choking sound at the other line with some words like "Cold, cold, too cold dammit", Roxas was probably drinking chocolate shake again. I told him to quit drinking that during the night. Sigh, after he finishes he's certainly going to brand me with questions and we are both gonna end up arguing.

(Sora's POV)

I heard the door slammed open.

"Shut up Roxas, for the last time I told you it wasn't my fault." A familiar female voice said.

"You just said you punched him Kai, which actually falls as action taken and he eventually fainted." A male voice said. "So it is really your fault."

The memory of what happened earlier came back. Kairi punched me and I blackout, which means I'm at her house right now.

"Nooo, I told you the dickhead was following me like a stalker. I thought I was gonna be rob and so I hit him. Why can't you come in here anyway?" Kairi said not minding to minimize the volume of her voice.

Roxas wasn't here then, she's probably talking to him on the phone and she had it in speaker mode.

"Kai as much as I want to go there, I have limitations." Roxas said.

"Like what exactly?" Kairi asked.

"Like curfew…" Roxas said.

"For Lurline's sake Roxas how old are you to still have a curfew?" Kairi said.

I tried so hard not to laugh.

"Do you have any idea what time it is exactly?" Roxas asked.

"Ummm… quarter before ten." Kairi said.

I burst sitting up as I yelled; "THAT LATE!!!" Upon realizing what I just did I looked at Kairi.

She was staring at me with those deep blue eyes. I thought she was beautiful even with the geeky glasses but, she's even more beautiful without them. Her cell phone was attached to an ID collar hanging dangling between her bosoms.

"Well it seems your victim is awake now. I'll see you tomorrow as early as I can." Roxas said and the cell phone made a sound that signaled the end of the call.

Kairi was carrying a bowl of steamy water with a face towel on it. She approached the bed and placed the bowl at the side table. She then flipped closed her cell phone removed it from her neck and placed it on her desk

"Hello Mr. Stalker how does your black eye feels?" Kairi asked smirking.

"Like hell…" I said as I touched the skin around my right eye but felt so much pain. "You hit like a man." I said looking at her, while I refrain from touching my swollen eye.

Kairi laughed and looked at straight in the eye.

"You have no idea." She said as she took the towel twist it and placed it at my swollen eye, I mean shoved it at my eye.

"OWWW! Can't you be a little bit gentler?" I fumed swatting her hand away.

"Well excuse me, I am not a trained nurse and I don't have any plan to be." Kairi said in retort.

This girl is nuts…

(Kairi's POV)

I tried being "gentle" as he had asked. Not that I really want to but for politeness sake I will. I remembered what Roxas called him, victim my ass.

"What were you doing following me anyway?" I asked as I rewetted the towel, drained it of excesses water and placed it at his swollen eye.

"I wasn't following you. It was just coincidence that I was heading the same way, you were going." He reasoned.

Riggggghhhhhttt… Like I would believe that, been there done that, at least when I was still Kai Valence.

"Try again…" I said raising a brow at him.

"I was on my way home and was taking a short cut." He said.

I snorted at the lame scapegoat. I was about to tell him to try again when a disturbing sound erupted from his stomach. I hid my laughter.

"Your stomach is calling for help, uhhhh, what's-your-name again?" I asked. Damn why can't I remember his name.

"It's Sora, Sora Savage…" Sora said wide eyed. "We'd met how many times and I've been in how many of your classes you still don't know my name." He said in a disbelieving tone.

"Right, Sora…" I said nodding four letters that meant sky. Better commit that to memory… Like I should I headed for the door and said behind me; "Like I'd care to know you that I'd have to remember your name. Anyways I'm gonna go and get you something to eat. You're at my house so please remember to behave yourself, I'll be right back." I said and didn't bother to close the door.

(Sora's POV)

Although it's really late and I should be home by now, I don't really feel like going home. Not with Kairi tending me too. Well she wasn't that careful though.

But then the thing that ignited me is that, she can't remember my name. I mean there are no girls at campus who didn't know my name. Even the freshmen girls know about me before they even stepped at school.

While Kairi was away I took the liberty of looking around her room. Well for one thing it was tidy, not like the room is spotlessly clean. I mean there are no sign of girly stuff like make ups, perfumes, accessories and other female stuff that would make them pretty.

It's either she likes being plain or she doesn't know how to beautify herself. I heard footsteps. I quickly went back to the bed sitting up before she found out I was fiddling with her stuff. She'd kick me out and that's definitely for sure.

Kairi entered the room. I then smelled the sweet aroma of curry, my mouth began to water. How long ago did I eat? She placed the tray by the bed. Then there was a moment of silence.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Kairi said.

I stared at her and said; "Aren't you going to feed me?"

She raised a brow.

"If I remember you're hurt in the face, not in the arm or hands for that matter." Kairi mused. "But if you like I could."

I almost smiled at her what she said until she added; "But then I'd have to hurt your arms, choose."

"Okay, I'm eating geeze. I hope you're not intending to poison me." I said and fed myself a mouthful. It was actually good. A girl this violent can actually cook decent meals, no scratch that it was far than decent meals… It was superb… "It's delicious…" I said in awe.

"Of course it is who do you think I am? One of those sissy gals whose too busy staring in mirrors all day to see if their pretty." Kairi said crossing her arms over her chest. "And if you're like Roxas who'd tell me how to be a girl I am so gonna throw you out that window." She threatened

"Scarrryyyy… It's just the fact that you can cook this good of a food when you're so violent." I said and gulped.

"Well, I wanted to learn how to cook." Kairi said as she sat at the bed across from me. "So I don't have to rely entirely on the maids. And I wanted to cook for them. But noooo, they were never home to begin with so I just cook and dine myself." She said bitterly, her eyes shadowed by her bangs.

I felt an empathy with her. My parents were rarely at home too and what's their crappy excuse: We have a meeting, too busy, working overtime… But I see them in the morning.

But then it made me wonder is that why she was living alone now. Did she run away from home?

"Did you run away from home?" I asked curious.

(Kairi's POV)

I chuckled at his question. I didn't but then I can't go home looking like this now can I? They'd probably bring me to mental institution if I did.

"I didn't and even if I did they wouldn't come looking for me. They know I would come back sooner or later even if I said I was kidnapped. I tried the tactic far too many times to get their attention." I said.

"Whoa, you'd go that far. You're an attention seeker aren't you?" Sora asked.

I looked at him and said bitterly; "Aren't you, if not then maybe it's because you'd see them so often, I don't. I can't even remember the last time I had a decent conversation with them. Their always too busy and even if I wake so early in the morning I'd only wake to find either their gone already or rushing out in the driveway, not even a word of good morning or bye."

I felt tears running the side of my eyes. Damn it all why am I telling this joker about my life anyway. It's not like he'd understand.

"I can't believe I am telling a stranger my darkest hours of life. I must be really tired. Roxas was the only one I ever told about my wanting of parent attention. It's why I'm a rebel." I said.

(Sora's POV)

Okay so I guess she had it bad than I did. But then Roxas again, so I guess there is something between them. Since his been mentioned why not take the chance.

"So uh, what's your relation to Roxas?" I asked.

"He's just a friend but then I consider him a brother." Kairi said. "He always comes to the house to play with me." She said.

Okay that explains much. But then that brought me some insecurity, they have some strong mutual understanding, but if Roxas has stronger feelings towards her than a mere sibling thing that'll be a bigger problem for me.

I then notice the photo frame that was on the desk. It was a photo a male with auburn hair; they were both wearing suits, a birthday party perhaps. I recognized him, Kai Valence, yup; he was famous even at the campus. Now why would Kairi have his photo?

"Umm, Kairi why do you have a photo of Kai…" That sounded weird. "I mean Kai Valence…"

(Kairi's POV)

I looked back at the photo. Oh darn it, I should've known better than to put my photo frame where people could see it. Why did I have it again, oh yeah I asked Roxas to sneak out one of it from the house so I could have a reminder of what I looked like and to keep sane. But now I have to think of something and fast.

"Uhhhh, he's…" Think Kai think… "He's my ex boyfriend, ended recently before he disappeared." Great me a lover of myself… I produced a fake yawn. "Anyways I'm tired and sleepy you can sleep here and I'll just sleep in the sofa."

"No way, a girl doesn't sleep on the sofa. It's rude…" Sora said.

"Neither can I stomach to sleep when I know you've laid cooties on my bed." I said and headed outside the room.

"Hey!!! Girls have cooties not boys!" I heard from behind me which made me laughed.

I lay at the sofa, I'll think of what to do next when Roxas gets here tomorrow morning.

"If you're done just placed the tray at the floor…" I said and dozed off after that. I guess I am too tired.

(Sora's POV)

So Kai Valence was her ex boyfriend. With an attitude like that I thought boys with rather evade her but then Kai Valence, I heard the guy has far more sensitive taste in girls but then I guess the reason they broke up is because Valence was playing with her. Great another problem for me, maybe that's the reason why she hates me, she thinks I'm the same as him… Gotta plan what I have to do to convince her I'm not like him.
