Day four
"Okay crew like you must have noticed this ship looks like an aliens crap. That is because that awful storm last night. So you all understand what this means. You have to clean the whole ship" Sephiroth said. Everybody whined but started to get little groups.
"Kairi can I have a little word with you?" Sephiroth said. I nodded and we went to his room.
"You must have noticed that I wasn't at the dinner last night."
I nodded.
"I have a spy on the castle and he gave some information's to me last night. I wonder if you would like to know how you family is doing?"
I nodded and smiled. I really didn't know what to say. Sephiroth took a letter. I didn't how he had got it but I guess that doesn't matter.
"The king is willing to pay the price which means we don't have to kill you" Sephiroth said and grinned to me. His grin was scary and it gave me chills.
"They are doing fine. Of course they are worried about you but other than that they are fine. Your sister is keeping Sora a company and they are getting along pretty well."
"Anything else?" I asked.
"No nothing you should know."
"Thank you but I can I why did you tell me this?"
"Well I just thought you might want to know. There is nothing personal."
I nodded.
"Okay you can go cleaning now" he said. I nodded and left the room. I was happy that my family was doing great. I was also very happy that Namine and Sora were getting along. Maybe Sora would fall in love with Namine.
"Psst Kairi."
I looked around but I didn't see anyone. Maybe it was wind.
"Kairi"
Okay someone was definitely calling me. I looked around again but I still didn't see anyone.
"Kairi look down."
I looked down and I saw Roxas. He was looking at me through a little hole in the plank. I could swear he was grinning at me.
"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be cleaning?" I asked.
"Yes we should. But the others promised to clean for us. Now come on we have to practice for tonight."
I had forgotten that we were performing tonight for others.
"How I'm going to get there?"
"Move that plank and jump."
I did what he told me to and took the plank away. It was easy. It wasn't closed at the other planks. I wonder how Sephiroth haven't noticed it before.
"And now I should jump?" I asked little unsecure.
"I will catch you" Roxas said smiling. I blushed from the thought that he was going to catch me.
"Okay here I go" I said to myself and jumped down. I had expected to fall down on my butt but instead of that I was perfectly safe in Roxas's arms. I looked up to see his face. He was smiling at me.
"I told you I would catch you" he smiled. I blushed and nodded. I looked at his beautiful color eyes. I looked at his mouth. I wanted to kiss him so badly but I knew that I shouldn't. But I wanted to do it.
Somehow I realized he was getting closer to me and I was getting closer to him. I should get away from him but my lips weren't listening to me. They wanted to get closer with his. Why can't I control myself?
Suddenly his lips were on mine. I didn't resist it and I kissed him back. First it was a sweet innocent kiss but it soon turn to be a very passionate kiss.
Somehow I got the strength to pull myself away from him. I didn't know how I did it. I looked at him. He looked surprised. I guess he didn't expect me to answer his kiss.
"Kairi I'm-"
"Are you two coming?" Hayner asked. I hope he didn't see what had just happened.
"Yes we will be there in a second" Roxas said putting me down. Then he turned to look at me.
"About that I'm very sorry. I shouldn't have done that" he said.
"No it's not your fault. I kind of wanted it too" I said blushing.
"You did? But I thought you had a fiancé" he said little confused.
"I have it's just I don't like him. I mean I do like him but just as a friend. I don't love him or anything. Actually I had known him for one day. And I'm scared of marrying him."
"Oh I see" Roxas said. Then he smiled to me on took my hand.
"What do you think about me?" he asked slyly. I blushed I didn't want to answer that question.
"Hurry up you two" we heard Axel yelling.
"Come on" I said pulling him with me to the others. I was so glad that Axel had interrupted our little conversation. I wasn't ready to tell Roxas that I liked him. I actually liked him a lot.
"What took you so long?" Ventus asked.
"Kairi was afraid to jump down" Roxas said quickly. Hayner gave us a suspicious look but he didn't say anything.
"Let's start" Roxas said. Demyx started to play. We sang the same song that we had sung yesterday. We were performing that and two other songs in the evening.
"That went well" Roxas said after the song had finished.
"Have we diced which other songs we are going to perform in the evening?" I asked.
"Yes here all the sheet to those two other songs" Roxas said. I looked at them. They were pretty easy. Roxas had marked all the points when it was my turn to sing.
"Ready?" Roxas asked. I nodded and Ventus started to count. The songs were easy to sing and I learn it pretty fast. We practice the whole day.
"I'm hungry" Hayner whined.
"Yeah me too" Ventus said. We all heard how his stomach growled. We started to laugh. Ventus laughed too. He actually laughed so hard that he fell of the seat.
"Okay I think dinner should be ready" Roxas said and stood up. We went to the dining room where everybody else were already.
"You came just in time" Luxord said.
I sat down next Roxas and Ventus. We were having pizza. There were different choices. There was ham and pineapple, tuna and pineapple, mushroom and tomato and chicken and blue cheese.
"This looks delicious" I smiled to Luxord.
"Well thank you Kairi" he said and sat down. Sephiroth stood up and we all turn to look at him.
"Let's eat" he said happily.
I didn't have a chance to do anything when the boys were already hunting the pizzas down. They were like animals. All I could do was watch on hope that there would be some pizza for me too.
"Here I took slices for you too" Roxas said and put my plate a slice of every flavor.
"Thanks" I smiled happily. Roxas smiled too and then he turned to his pizza slices. He had more than one of every slice. He looked very adorable when he ate.
"Don't you like the food?" Ventus asked. I looked at him. His mouth was full of food.
"Of course I like it."
"Then why don't you eat?"
I smiled. "I was just having a little break from eating."
Ventus nodded and continue to eat his food. The dinner was over soon and it was our time to performance. I was very nervous. I haven't ever performance in front of people.
"It's going to go fine" Roxas said like he had read my mind or something.
I nodded. I felt my hands sweating. I can do this. I can do this.
"Are you ready?" Roxas asked. I nodded and we went to stage. Everybody were cheering for us. There were only the rest of the crew who weren't in the band but it felt amazing that they were cheering to us.
"Good evening everybody. We are the famous singing pirates and I'm happy to tell you that we have a new member in our band. Let's all welcome Kairi" he said and clapped his hands together.
Everybody else started to clap for me too. I was little embraced about all the attention I was having.
"Okay let's start" Roxas said. First we sang the If it means a lot to you. That was the first song that I sang with the band. When the song was over everybody cheered for us.
"Thank you now the second song isn't my own its I'm a believer from Smash Mouth" Roxas said. Hayner started to play and I started to sing. (A/N: Roxas parts and written like this and Kairi's part are like this and when they sing together it's this.)
I thought love was only true in fairytales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed
Dissappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love
(ooooooaaaahhh)
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her
if I tried
I thought love was more or less a given thing
The more I gave the less I got, Oh Yeah
What's the use of trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine I got rain
Then I saw her face,
Now i'm a believer.
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love
(ooooooaaaaahhhh)
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her
if I tried
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I wanted Sunshine I got rain!
Then I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm a believer, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhaah
Once the song had ended they all started to cheer and Xigbard and Zack even stood up to clap for us.
"Thank you and now for the last song is Boats and birds and it's a ballad" Roxas said. Hayner started to play and Roxas started to sing.
If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky,
You can hide underneath me and come out at night,
When I turn jet black and you show off your light,
I live to let you shine, I live to let you shine,
But you can skyrocket away from me,
And never come back if you find another galaxy,
Far from here with more room to fly,
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by,
If you'll be my boat, I'll be your sea,
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity,
Ebbing, and flowing, pushed by the breeze,
I live to make you free, I live to make you free,
But you can set-sail to the West if you want to,
And pass the horizon 'til I can't even see you,
Far from here where the beaches are wide,
Just leave me your wake to remember you by,
If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky,
You can hide underneath me and come out at night,
When I turn jet black and you show off your light,
I live to let you shine, I live to let you shine,
But you can skyrocket away from me,
And never come back if you find another galaxy,
Far from here where there's more room to fly,
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by,
Stardust to remember you by.
Everybody cheered and stood. Marluxia was crying and I could swear that Xigbard share a few tiers.
"Thanks to all of you. That was the last song and I hoped you liked our show" Roxas said. Others were still cheering for us when we got out of the stage.
"You were amazing" Marluxia said and hugged me.
"Thanks" I said and hugged him back.
"Good job" Xigbard said. I smiled to him. I was right he had shared a few tier.
"Kairi can I talk to you?" Roxas asked. I nodded and we went to the deck. It was a beautiful night again.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
"About what happened earlier this day."
I nodded so he continued.
"I really like you Kairi. And I know that I shouldn't because you have a fiancé even though you don't like him. But you are going home in nine days and I will miss you like crazy but I just like you too much that I had to tell you this even though you might not feel the same way for me."
"Roxas I do like you. You should have realized it from that kiss. And I don't think of me going home. All I want is to be with you" I said and took his hand. He looked at me and smiled.
"So does this mean that we are together or something?" he asked playfully.
"Well you haven't asked me to be your girlfriend" I said slyly.
"Okay then. Kairi would you give me the honor and be my girlfriend?"
"Yes" I said and hugged him. He put his arms around me and we stand there for a while.
"I love you" he whispered in to my ear.
I looked up to see his face.
"I love you too" and then I kissed him. Suddenly we heard cheering. We looked back and we saw the whole crew including Sephiroth staring at us.
"I'm so happy for you" Ventus cried and hugged both of us.
"Thanks brother" Roxas grinned.
"Roxas take good care of her" Hayner said. He looked little disappointed. I guess he did like me after all.
"I will" Roxas said and out his arm around my waist.
"You are still sleeping in different rooms. I don't want to explain the king why he is having grandchildren's" Sephiroth said.
"Of course" Roxas said blushing. I giggled; he looked so cute when he blushed.
"Okay everybody time to go to sleep" Sephiroth said clapping his hands.
"Yes boss" everybody shouted and went to their rooms.
Roxas walked me to my room.
"Good night Kairi" he said and kissed my cheek.
"Good night Roxas" I smiled and went to my room. When I closed the door is started to cry. I should be happy I have finally found a boy that I love and who loves me back. But I'm not supposed to be with him. I only have nine days to be with him.
I whipped the tears from my eyes. "I will make those nine days the best days of my life" I said to myself and went to my hammock.
