Hello again, my wonderful readers and reviewers! I appreciate the votes I got for the who-can-be-meaner-to-Sora contest, and I'm hoping to get more after this chapter! I was quite a meany face to the poor boy xD

19. Worst Situation Ever.

Trying to find everyone places to sleep was time-consuming. In the end, Kakashi, Iruka, Naruto, and Sasuke had to share the master bedroom, Kairi, Sakura, and Lifelle shared the bed in the guest bedroom (much to the amazement of the guys - none of them were willing to share a bed with another guy), and Axel, Sora, Riku, and Darran slept on the couch and floor of the living room.

It took a while for Kairi to fall asleep, though not nearly as long as she thought it would. Sleeping in the same bed as two other girls brought on a bit of nostalgia; she missed all those sleepovers with Selphie back on Destiny Islands. Eventually, Kairi drifted into a dark and fitful sleep. She woke up at least twice with Sakura mock-glaring at her; she had kicked her in the shins. Another time, she had awoken to hear Sakura and Lifelle giggling like mad.

"What's so funny?" Kairi whispered in the darkness. She glanced at the clock on the bookshelf to her right; it was only 2:30.

"You talk in your sleep," Lifelle replied after another laugh attack.

"Oh no, what did I say?!" Kairi moaned, covering her face with her hands. Lifelle and Sakura suddenly looked put out.

"We couldn't understand, it was more sleepmumbling than sleeptalking. But we caught the word 'love' a couple times, and you had a huge smile on your face..." Sakura said, a teasing tone entering her voice.

Kairi yawned. "Mmkay... I'm going back to bed now," she whispered, rolling over. Fortunately, Sakura and Lifelle seemed to notice that Kairi was tired and fell back asleep quickly. Sleep did not come easy to Kairi. She had remembered exactly who she was dreaming of before Sakura and Lifelle's giggling had woken her up. She closed her eyes and sighed, unsettled.

"Kairi! Kairi, wake up," said a voice to the left of her. She opened her eyes irritability; why couldn't these people just her sleep?!

"Riku...? What do you want? It's dark..." Kairi muttered, rubbing her eyes so they would adjust to the light faster.

"I need to talk to you. It's about Sora," Riku whispered, glancing at Lifelle. He lowered his voice even more when she twitched; Kairi was sure he just didn't want to wake her up.

Riku dragged Kairi to the only place they could go without being overheard - the closet. Riku yanked the little chain attached to the light. Kairi's eyes were assaulted yet again by the harsh light.

"Riku, what is this about? I'm tired..." Kairi whined.

"It's about Sora. I know what you're doing; and it's working. Do you have any idea how upset he's been? And I'm the one who has to listen to him bitch all day!" Riku yelled, not bothering to keep his voice down anymore. Kairi could feel her temper rising.

"Okay, first off. DO NOT wake me up at -" she checked the clock on her phone - "3 am to yell at me! And I'm not doing anything," She yelled; the volume of her voice wasn't bothering her much, either.

"Then why the hell are you going out with Darran?" Riku screeched. He was obviously suffering from lost sleep as well; perhaps Sora had been keeping him up by complaining? Kairi found that she didn't exactly care.

"I happen to like Darran. At least he isn't all secretive and a complete and total jackass!" Kairi screamed; forgetting that it was 3 in the morning.

Riku opened his mouth to retaliate, but was interrupted by the door to the hot, stuffy closet being opened. Kairi waited a moment for her eyes to adjust again before seeing who had stumbled in on their arguement - Sora.

This is bad... Do you realize that you and Riku, Sora's childhood friend and rival, are in a small, hot closet together, both of you very flushed and sweaty? And by the way, you know how your hair gets messed up when you sleep? That's not really helping here, Namine panicked. Kairi looked from Sora to Riku, unable to say anything. Riku went even redder before saying, "Look, I know this looks bad, but-"

Sora slammed the door in their faces, his eyes shining in the glare from the light.
