File 08: Underneath The Not So Starry Blue Sky » Volume 1
You know what I was thinking. I feel like this story needs to start attacking real issues that teens face other the occasional KH formula of crushing, jealously, love triangles, secrets, and such. It's time to get more real a little but later on as the story goes.

(Hayner's voice) – "Previous on Secret Agent Kairi"
"Look you snobby little fake ass spoiled rich bitch!!" she said in anger and Selphie just gasped including her followers. The whole student body stopped including the music as the scene went on. "I'm not taking off this costume and you're just gonna walk away. Do you got it now or do I need to repeat it for you?"
"Where is Roxas?" Namine asked.
"He is-" Kairi stopped when Olette was announcing on stage.
"Alright everybody, time to give it up for the person we all love and know," she said on the mic.
"How is it everyone? This song I wrote is called "Leavin" and here it is," Roxas said as the music was starting to play and the beat was starting to kick in and he starts to sing.
"I wish I had the confidence to give him my letter," she thought. She still wasn't ready to confess to him. Maybe her obsession of her favorite TV shows could do the trick.
As they were walking, Roxas was thinking of what Sora just. He was kind of worried actually after reading that letter. It was a love letter meant for him from Namine. He just couldn't help but feel bad about this. He didn't want to send mix signs to her thinking he like her because he didn't.
"I call it a Nobody!" Vexen yelled. If this were an anime, everybody in the area would just drop onto the ground including Kairi and Yuffie.
"A Nobody? Why a Nobody?" Demyx asked. "It sounds ridiculously stupid."
Kairi ran towards the knocked out guards diving and taking one of their guns. Yuffie runs off as Kairi shot a bullet towards the tank and it explodes causing a wall of fire between the organization and her. She looked at all of them as they did to her. Yuffie came in and flees the scene heading back to the dance if there was time.
"Prince Charming and Cinderella!" Olette and Xion yelled into the mic as everyone cheered and the spotlight was on Roxas and Namine. Namine felt like a real princess right now. The two get onto stage and get crowned. The gang could tell Namine was enjoying all this but it was gonna end soon too as she would revert back to plain old shy Namine. At least she enjoyed her night.
"Smile!" Pence said as the two pose like a couple and the picture is taken.
Now it was near the end of November. One month has almost passed by since the Halloween dance and things have gotten more interesting since then. Sora and Kairi were getting closer this time but they weren't together. Sora hasn't had the time to actually take Kairi on a real date since he has been busy. Roxas continued to make Namine happy when she would get close to him but it only happen a few times. Hayner got into the basketball team; Pence joined the yearbook staff, Xion was taking some programs of helping out young children in need. She loved helping people.
Yuffie was looking out the window from her classroom at they city. The school was close to the city but not that close. So far, this semester hasn't been great to her. She didn't like her classmates much making her hang out with Kairi and her friends, who were sophomores, more. Her teachers were not her favorite things either and her senior year at high school was being a drag. She was thinking of joining some club after school.
"Class we have a new student with us today," her teacher announced.
"Great, what else in new?" Yuffie said bored not looking at the front of the class. "New students coming in."
"His name is Vincent Valentine," the teacher continued. Yuffie looked at him as he had long black hair with a red bandana wrapped around his forehead. It suited him. It was like the guy was emo but he seem to not be. He then took a seat next to her. (Introducing Vincent from FFVII. But he will be recurring in this volume; so don't expect to see him much right now)
"I'm guessing your not liking it here?" Yuffie asked him but there was no response. "I see you're not much of a talker. Anyways, my name is Yuffie." The guy was just staring at her.
"Am not a people's person," he responded flatly turning his attention back to the board.
"This is gonna be interesting," Yuffie said to herself as she looked at her textbook.
Sora and Xion were in their history class just talking. Apparently, their teacher had some much work to do like grading their last quiz still that he just decided to give them free time because he didn't want to deal with them. "This is rare," Sora said to Xion.
"Yeah, how many time does a teacher give you free time the whole period?" she said.
"Not much. It's only November." Sora then remembered something. "Which means next month is December. Whoa! I love winter."
"Is it only because of Christmas?" his friend asked.
"Yeah but I like playing in the snow. It's just nice to act like a child during those times." Xion chuckled. "Hey, should I ask Kairi on a real date this time?" he asked her. She just raised an eyebrow.
"It's been almost a month since the dance and now you're thinking about taking her out."
"I've been busy with soccer and swimming."
"Why on earth would you take two sports at the same time?"
"Cuz' my parents said it'll look good on my college application."
"I have question to ask," Xion said.
"Shoots," Sora replied all open for anything.
"Do you like Kairi?" she asked. Once again he has been asked this question. The last time was with his brother. He was thinking about it if he did but no answer would come to his mind if he did. Then again, he has been getting closer to her these past weeks.
"Maybe I do. Who knows? Maybe taking her out would do just the trick," he said putting a smile on his face.
~ Secret Agent Kairi ~
It was lunch time but Kairi and Yuffie were in Leon's classroom just them three as they discuss about the situation of Organization XIII and their experiment called the Nobody. Leon too dropped flat on the floor when he heard the news earlier thinking that they could've come up with a better name, I mean that guy named Vexen. "I'm surprised that they aren't digging up any info on you two," Leon told the girls.
"Let's keep it that way," Kairi replied. "I don't want to know who I am. I could danger a lot of people including my friends. They could use that against me and I don't know to handle that."
"Oh yeah, your parents called in from Europe Yuffie," Leon told her.
"Let me guess, the usual how is it, how is our daughter, is she doing good and blah blah."
"Mr. and Mrs. Kisaragi love you very much and is proud you're doing this mission for your friend," Leon said. Yuffie did like her parents but they were always traveling around the world. They're not agents but the agency approached them to get their approval for her to join. As the three discussed, Sora suddenly came inside. Kairi was surprised to see him.
"What are you doing here Sora?" she asked him.
"Can I ask you out on a date? Like a real one this time. Not like the dance before," he asked. Kairi was having that moment again of her blushing and butterflies in her stomach. She couldn't help it and was gonna say yes but this was stopping her.
"Aren't you gonna say anything?" he asked her. Yuffie and Leon were watching this and could see Kairi not moving a muscle.
"Is she always like this?" Leon whispered in Yuffie's ear.
"Yeah, she is still new to this," she whispered back. "And this is the part where I save her." Yuffie got off of Leon's desk and just answered for Kairi. "The answer is yes Sora. Sorry that she isn't acting herself."
"That's okay. I'll come to pick her up tonight at seven."
"On a Wednesday?" Yuffie asked.
"Yeah, is that a problem?" he asked.
"No problem. Just happy for my young sis." Then Sora left the room and Kairi just took a breather. "Breath Kairi. In and out."
"I get to go on a real date with Sora!" Kairi cheered. "But Olette, Xion and I were planning on finally seeing Namine's house."
"Calm down. You can give Sora the address to pick you up from Namine's house and have him drop you off back at your house. It's only half of the school today," Yuffie said. "Although I hate the fact there is one more class on Wednesdays," she complained.
"At least the classes are shorter," Leon said going back to eating his lunch.
~ Secret Agent Kairi ~
School was finished and Kairi, Olette and Xion were just sitting at the water fountain waiting for Namine to come pick them up. Namine had left early because her parents pulled her out for a doctor's appointment but they really went out for lunch. The girls knew her secret but the boys didn't. Olette accidentally told Kairi and Xion but Namine was fine with it because she trusts them. Yuffie wasn't around because she wanted to get into the school. Kairi takes out a book and starts reading it while Olette chats on her cellphone with somebody and Xion listening to her iPod. Soon after, Pence came in taking their picture. "Pence!" Kairi said blocking her face with her book.
"Sorry, it's for the yearbook," he told her. "Well, time to go. Gotta go home," he said leaving.
"Bye Pence!" Kairi last said going back to reading till her phone was ringing. "Hello?" she answered.
"We're here," Namine said on the other line.
"We?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, it's my parents. They want to meet you guys seeing how they never saw me have friends."
"Alright Nami. Bye." Nami was something Kairi thought of a week ago. It was like giving her a codename. Her friends picked it up and sometimes would call her by that nickname.
Sora and Roxas were at home alone. Parents were on a trip because it was their anniversary. "So you're taking out Kairi huh?" Roxas said as he flipped through the channels.
"Yeah but I don't know where? Can you give me a place?" his brother asked and he just stared at him.
"Do I look like I've been on a date?"
"Sadly, no. But do you?" Roxas just sighed as he continues to flip through the channels. Nothing good was on TV. He was thinking about a place where Sora could take Kairi. Let's see. First date is usually the best one out of all the date because it's memorable unless it turned out disaster. Then he thought of one.
"I know a place. Do you remember how to waltz?" he asked.
"Kind of yeah. I remember who both though it looked easy when in reality it was hard as hell," Sora replied. Their parents have made them take dance lessons in middle school but they haven't put good use of it because not a single dance had the waltz in it. Guess it was that hard to do it.
"Well, I know there is this place where you guys can eat and dance."
"But I don't think Kairi knows how."
"Teach her as you guys go. She is a quick study and smart. I'm sure she'll get it soon." Roxas felt good about doing this but at the same time, a fragment of jealously was still upon him.
"You gotta be kidding me?" Xion said in shock looking at Namine's house.
"This is just like mansion," Olette said.
"That's because it is," Kairi said. All three were shocked and surprised to see Namine's house standing right in front of them. It was like some Beverly Hills manor only bigger.
"Now you guys know why I keep this a secret," Namine told them heading towards her house.
~ Secret Agent Kairi ~
"So we got twelve members of the organization yet they call themselves Organization XIII. I still think it's weird," Leon told Aerith and Cloud. The three were all in Leon's secret office discussing the situation. The past weeks, still no hope on their real identities as nothing just showed up. It's like the organization pulled tons of strings to keep their real names a secret.
"You know what I was thinking," Aerith thought. "How bout we take the 'x' out of their name and scrabble what name we get."
"That's a really good idea Aerith. Good job," Leon thought. "End of conference. I'll tell HQ to get right on it." Leon's seat turned around and went to the wall revealing a large computer screen as he started to type. Aerith and Cloud get up and leave heading into the elevator.
"Wanna eat at the Highwind again?" Aerith suggested. She was getting hungry seeing how both of them skipped lunch just for that meeting and school was done already for her daughter.
"Yeah, I'm really hungry. Can't skip a meal," Cloud answered as the elevator dings and they leave heading out of the building and back on the streets of Tsuki walking to the Highwind.
"You know, Kairi is going out on a date this time. And I mean a real date," Aerith told him.
"Is that so?" Cloud said. "Where is she by the way?"
"At Namine's house. Said Sora was going to get here and drop her off at home."
"That Sora kid is a goofy one," Cloud said. "But he's a good guy. I'm sure Kairi will have a great time."
"I kind of miss going out on dates. With all this work and taking care of Kairi, I hardly had time for it." When Aerith and her husband were together, they would always go out and eat and he would gladly enough to pay for it all. It reminded her of all those times she had with him. Cloud was thinking of taking her out but at the same time, he didn't want to get involved with her. Something could happen and it wouldn't be a pretty one. He then pushed that thought aside and will ask it one day when the time is right.
The girls were hanging out in Namine's room, which bigger than both Kairi and Yuffie's room combined. So far, each they saw in Namine's house was like a master bedroom already. Kairi was wondering what to wear when Sora told her they would be going somewhere a little fancy. "Xion go check out my closet," Namine told her trying to help Kairi. Xion heads inside turning on the light and her jaw drops. It was like some mini store of all types of clothing when you go out and stay in.
"Oh my gosh! You have this!" Xion yelled as she started to raid the closet. "Olette! You have to see this! I know you love fashion then any of us!" Olette ran and screamed in joy.
"Aah! I need to see this!" Olette also did the same thing Xion did previously who was still doing it. Kairi had an odd look on her face and lay on Namine's bed with her.
"It's really hard to believe you live like this Namine," Kairi told her. She really couldn't. Under shy Namine was living large Namine but she could already tell why she didn't want the school to find out. It would be really shallow if they ever did.
"Yeah but I'm not a fashion rich kind person. I'm still just plain old shy Namine," Namine replied to her comment.
"You're slowly changing Nami. I can see it happening already," Kairi told her. "You're parents are really great. They work really hard for being movie writers."
"I know but they are always in the US because they hit it huge there. I just like for them to come home sometimes and I only get all these clothes because my mom is close friends with one of the most famous fashion designers in Japan."
"Tell you what Namine, we'll bring all of your friends and have a get together slash sleep over here one night," Kairi offered. Namine smiled and took it. It was time to stop being alone in her manor.
"Hey Namine? Can I have this?!" Olette asked holding a dress on her with the look on her face wanted a yes. Namine nodded.
"Go ahead you. I barely wear those anyways. Take whatever you want because I'll be getting the winter line soon."
"Did you hear her Xion?! We can take whatever we want!!" Olette screamed jumping around going back inside as Xion also cheered. Kairi and Namine were laughing on how they were acting.
"Hey wait! I need something to wear you guys!" Kairi then ran to the closet with them and Namine just smiled as she watches her favorite TV show.
~ Secret Agent Kairi ~
Sora stood in front of Namine's door. He too was shocked to see Namine lived her. When he got here, he had to double check he got the right address Kairi text him. He presses the doorbell and waits for an answer. He heard footsteps coming down the stairs and mumbles. Xion then open the door but not all the way as her head sticks out. She examined Sora head to toe and said he looked great. It was nothing to fancy.
"I give you your princess!" Xion opened the door but Kairi wasn't to be seen. "Huh?" Olette looked up the stairs to her running but quickly stops her.
"It's gonna be alright Kairi. Don't need to freak out," Olette whispered to her and Kairi nervously nodded as Olette guides her back down stairs showing her in front of Sora. He loved the way she looked as she had a nice short blue dress that any girl would wear when going out.
"You look great," he said and she felt like blushing. Oh wait, she was. "Shall we go?" Kairi nodded as the two leave Namine's house and he opens the door for her with her getting in and he later got on. Sora was about to drive when someone came out of the house. It was Namine.
"You forgot your bag and clothes Kai," Namine told her as she gave it to Kairi through the open window.
"Kai?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, it's like how you gave me a nickname. Am Nami and your Kai." Kairi just smiled as Sora drove off leaving Namine in the driveway.
Sora and Kairi were in an elevator and Kairi wondered where he was taking her. "Where are we?" she asked.
"A place Roxas got me into. They're having this special thing tonight and it's a great place to eat." The elevator soon opens and the two are on the rooftop of a building but not a tall one. More like mediocre tall. The place was light up, a tree was in the middle with lights in it and the area was filled with tables decorated and couples sitting in them. Kairi could see people dancing around the tree. "I welcome you to Blue Skies Dance Restaurant."
"Not much stars though. It would've been more romantic." Kairi gasped on closed her mouth of what just said.
"That's because we're in the city. But the blue sky does like nice." Sora then escorts her to their table. Kairi was already enjoying this date and they haven't eaten yet or maybe even dance. Sora look incredible, she looked pretty, and this place was nice.
Sora couldn't stop looking at Kairi but chose not to do that or she could think he was checking her out every five minutes making her feel weird. He never thought he felt like this. Maybe Roxas and Xion were right. Maybe he did have feelings for her. They just started to slowly develop without him knowing.
"Kairi is so lucky to be on a date. There isn't one guy I like right now," Yuffie complained as he puts her plate in the sink. "I mean, am pretty right you two?" Yuffie was complaining her problems during dinner and it was irritating Aerith and Cloud but it didn't make them want to yell at her like two parents.
"How does Kairi do it?" Aerith whispered to Cloud.
"I don't know. They're good friends aren't they."
"Then there is his new student today and he seemed cool but when I want to talk to him, he doesn't. Senior sucks for me," Yuffie continued on complaining. Aerith and Cloud groaned and just dropped her faces. They wanted to leave but they couldn't.
Kairi finished her dinner and loved it. The best she had ever had but not as best as her mom's cooking. Aerith always cooked great. It was like she was a natural born cook. Maybe Kairi could of picked up that skill. "This was a really great dinner Sora."
"Good to know your having a great time." There was a small silence between them as they just took quick glances at each other. (To be honest with you guys, I don't think I'm good writing all this fluff and lovey dovey things) Kairi then noticed there was a stain on Sora's mouth, so she laughed.
"What is so funny?" he asked wondering.
"Wipe your right lip," she told him. Sora did but went the other way. "No, I meant your right. Not my right."
"Sorry," he said.
"That's okay. Goofy Sora I say," she said smiling and Sora couldn't help but blush at what she said. Then he saw some people gathering around the middle meaning there was going to be a dance.
"Do you wanna dance?" he offered. Kairi could not turn down that and she took it grabbing his hand as they head for it. "Do you know how to do the waltz?" Kairi tried to remember if she was taught that and then remembered Leon had taught her that when she was a young girl.
"Lets see if I remember," Kairi told him as they took each other's arms and the other's on the back of them. The two start off slowly doing it, as they were both rusty having not doing the waltz for a while. "I can see we're both rusty," Sora told her.
"Yeah, at least you're not stepping on my fee- Ouch!" Sora had just stepped on her feet.
"Sorry Kairi," he said. I guess he was rustier than her since he just stepped on her but that changed when she stepped on his feet this time. "Ow!" Now both were injuring themselves while doing this. "We can stop this you know. Everybody is looking at us." Sora was feelings embarrassed about the situation.
"No, I want to keep doing this. We'll get it. It takes two to waltz," Kairi told said trying not to give up especially dancing with him of this hard to learn dance. Who cares about the others?
"I thought it was 'it takes two to tango'?" he asked thinking about what she last said.
"Waltz too." The two get back into position trying it again and they slowly start to get better. "Now we're getting there. I haven't done this a while since my bos-" Again Kairi almost blew a secret. "Uncle taught me this," she finished. She needed to keep on working on it but she hates the fact she had to keep the biggest secret of her life to her friends and Sora.
"Same here," Sora said. The two just kept looking at each other once again and both had butterflies as they danced underneath the blue sky. It was cold a little but they didn't mind. They just cared that they're having a great time together. Then suddenly they both stopped and got closer when their lips finally met and they were kissing. Kairi could feel it happening to her as she felt something she had never felt before. She felt a tingling feeling going down her spine and it felt good. It was really her first kiss. The two pulled then pulled apart.
"I like you Sora," she confessed to him hoping to get the same response.
"I do too Kairi," he replied now feeling it as they kissed again.
~ Secret Agent Kairi ~
"How could you Roxas?" asked a sad Namine. She was sad, looking down at the ground and hands tied behind her back. "I thought you had feelings for me. But I guess you were playing with my heart the whole time thinking I'm someone to be toyed with."
"No Namine. That's not true," Roxas says putting his hands on her shoulder. "You're my friend. I would never do that you. You know that?" He heard her sniffle.
"Then why?" she asked weakly about to cry. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Now I'll never be loved by anybody!"
"Namine wait!" Namine ran and Roxas tried to run after her but she was too fast. It was like he was being held back by something and couldn't catch up with her. Then the whole scene changed to the rooftop of a building. "Namine?" he called looking for her when he sees her at the ledge about to jump off. "Namine no!" He ran to her but was too late as she jumped her death.
"Namine!!!!" Roxas screamed waking up from a nightmare. He had cold sweat panting hard of what he just saw shocked of what he saw. He looked around and sees no one around other than the TV. He also Sora hadn't return from his date with Kairi. He had do something about Namine but what?
Now that was a shocker end to the chapter. But you guys can tell it was a dream the whole time right? Moving on, Sora and Kairi finally kiss! Put a smile on your face you S/K lovers. I know you loved it. Now what can you expect in the future? I don't know myself but I'll see where my ideas take me.
Thanks for reading this chapter and review please!
