I'm apologizing ahead of time. There is a lot of scene changes in this chapter.
Like a lot. But that being said

REVIEW. Want me to be a better writer? REVIEW. I NEED IT.
C'MON I NEED MORE THAN THIS!

Sora walked away from the door, a bit upset that he didn't go. He couldn't listen to their conversations or stop the things Riku could and would say. He walked to the couch and dovel onto it like a bomb, he took a hold of the remote and surfed the channels. "Why didn't I go..." he mumbled to himself. "I'm gonna be bored all day. Maybe Roxas wants to head on over," with that, he took the phone and called Roxas.

Kairi was tugging on her damp hair, squeezing of the water out of it while they were walking when Riku asked her, "what do you want to eat?"

She shrugged. "Where ever, you you're the hungry one."

"I'm up for anything," he was trying to get a direct answer out of her.

"So am I."

They walked awkwardly next to each other until someone broke, which was Kairi. "Okay, okay. Let's go to that one place, you know the one next to the ocean?"

"You mean the one we ate at when we were little?" he asked to clarify.

Putting her hands over her brows, she squinted her eyes and looked around. "Yeah, It's probably near here, right?" Actually they weren't. Their place was near the ocean but not close where they wanted to be, they had to walk a few blocks.

Riku's stomach stomach growled loudly causing Kairi to look down at his stomach and let out a small giggle, "you must be hungry."

"Why are you walking so slow?" Riku complained, yet again.

"I have shorter legs than you," which was a valid argument.

Riku squatted down "Well, hop on then."

"Like a piggy back ride? Are you really that hungry?"

"Just shut up and get on," and she did what she was told.

"Hey Roxas," Sora lazily said on the phone.

"Sora? You're actually calling me? I thought you'd be to busy with Kairi."

"Her and Riku grabbed a bit to eat-"

"And you didn't go? Surprising," Roxas chuckled a little.

"Shut up," he quickly shotted out before going back to why he called.

The ocean never changed. It was still the same as the old times. The wind wasn't strong at all around this place. Kairi sat on Riku, pushing back his hair that was flying at her face like needles. It was the same was she remembered when she was little. She smiled, pushing Riku's hair down, and took a breath of salty air.

"See, you need a haircut. You're hair is trying to kill me."

Riku just grunted. "And you're heavy, are you trying to kill me?"

Kairi slapped the top of his head. "Put me down!" Riku crouched over allowing her to get down. She hit him on his head on his way up.

She was wearing sandals which permitted the sand to touch her skin; even then the sand was scorching hot. The sun had already soaked all the moisture up from her hair, leaving it lifeless but bendy where the waves formed. Putting her fingers straight over her brows, she looked around to see where the place was. Turning her attention to Riku, she hopped up and down and pointed. "There, there! It's right there!"

"Congrats," Riku has already spotted it.

She walked along side of him, kicking the sand as she walked. Riku just looked down at and shook his head, she was like a little child, but.. while he was looking down at her and pointed out, "you're sunburnt."

Thrusting her shoulder forward, she saw the red skin that were revealed to the warmth, "lucky me, huh?" She laughed a little, "you're lucky I was on your back, hmm?"

"I also have sleeves on."

Kairi rolled her eyes and the two began walking to the small restaurant.

Roxas was sitting on a reclinable chair with a game control in his hand. Him and Sora we're playing Halo against each other. Sora had his tongue hanging out as he concentrated; and the other was just staring at the television attentively. Sora brought the control up into the air and close and he hit buttons, but got shot.

"Damn," he swore.

"You're such an easy kill, Sora," Roxas said with confidence.

"Rematch!" But before Roxas could reply there was a knock on the door. "You don't think that's them already?" Sora questioned, throwing out his idea.

Getting up, Sora walked to the door and opened it, to his surprise it was Axel.

"Sora! Just want to tell you that the air conditioner is fixed," Axel said in his normal, burst of energy voice.

"Axel?"

"Roxas?"

"You guys know each other?" Sora sounded confused and surprised, allowing Axel to walk into their kitchen area so Roxas could see and they all could talk.

"We're like best pals!" Axel explained.

"What a small world," Sora mumbled.

"I remember you mentioning you were renting this place, I guess I forgot that this was your place. What happened to Larxene and Marluxia?"

"They were party animals, well, at least Larxene was," Axel began explaining. "Not really sure what happened up here, but it was always loud," some ideas came to mind, but like a romance between those two would happen. "I kept nagging at them and Larxene was getting tired of it. As for Marluxia, he wasn't exactly my favorite," he let out a sigh of anger.

Being a humble host, Sora offered, "Want to play some video games, then?"

Axel's emerald eyes lit up, he was never really asked to hang out with the people he rented the place to. He immediately accepted the offer. He walked over to the couch, Sora was sitting before and was handed a controller by Roxas. The three of them undergoing their competition.

Kairi and Riku sat outside at a table overlooking the ocean. Her violet orbs were hypnotized by the congruent motions of the waves. Riku held his menu in his hand, but kept eyeing down Kairi, looking at her with sweet eyes. The way her locks blew over her face, she really did look like a model. Riku shook the thought off and glanced back at the menu.

"You know what you want?" Riku questioned.

"What I always get here, the club sandwich," just then the waitress came by with their two drinks of lemonade.

"Are you guys ready to order?" Her delicate voice asked.

"Yes, I'd like a club sandwich," she tucked the menu back to how was it was and handed it over to the waitress. "Namine? It completely slipped my mind that you worked here."

Namine let out a small giggle and took a hold of the menu,"and you, Riku?"

"A burger," he returned the menu back to her hands.

"You'll have to tell about how it's like living with these boys."

"I won't leave out a detail," Kairi smiled and winked her right eye.

"I'll return with your food when it's ready," and Namine departed to the restaurant.

"Namine is perfect," Kairi had a hint of jealousy in her voice. She took a sip of lemonade from the straw, which made the obvious sound. "She's got the perfect hair, body, skin, and not to mention her 'thing' with Roxas," she exhaled.

"You're good looking too," he took a taste of his drink as well.

"You're just saying that."

"You're confusing me with, Sora," he smirked at her.

Namine returned with their two orders. "For you," and she placed the sandwich in front of Kairi. "and you," she placed the burger in front of Riku. "And, Kairi. I get off work late tonight, how about we meet up tomorrow?"

"Sounds like a plan."

Riku bit into his burger, that was slightly dripping from the juicy tomato when Kairi began interrogating him. "So, the rule you made, why did you make that?" She took a bite of her sandwich.

Riku finished swallowing before speaking. "Just to keep it drama free."

"Oh really," she took one fry and put it in her mouth. "You don't just make it up for that reason, there has be something besides that," Riku didn't answer her so she began making up her own theories. "You and Sora? You two have something?"

Nearly choking on his food, he coughed and reached for his drink. "You're kidding me, right? If I was gay, It wouldn't be with him."

Nibbling on her fries she continued. "You guys would be a cute couple. But if it isn't him. It's me? One of you guys like me?"

"Partially."

"It's, Sora?"

"Partially," he repeated.

"What does that mean?"

"Think about it," Kairi just dropped the subject but continued thinking about it.

"So what do you think, Sora should do?" Roxas asked Axel.

"Roxas! Just tell the whole world," he said out flatly.

"The whole world practically knows, you're not very secretive about it," he shot back.

"Well, Sora," Axel turned his head over to him. "You should tell her. And but how, Roxas puts it, Kairi is too oblivious to know your feelings if you don't tell her."

"I forgot something, Kairi likes him back," Roxas added on.

"No she doesn't!"

"You're just as oblivious as her!"

Axel placed himself back in. "You should tell her at the right time."

Sora just sat there, his arms crossed with anger. He huffed air up from his mouth that made his bangs defy gravity for a moment.

The two finished their meals and began heading on their way back. "That was so good," Kairi patted her stomach out of satisfaction. "Just as good as I remember."

The wind settled down leaving only the heat. Riku began collecting swear on his forehead and bangs that began dripping. Kairi had already tied her hair back, but her bangs still suffering the same fate as Riku's. While walking their way back, there stood an ice cream stand. Kairi quickly began picking up her pace.

"I'm gonna grab some ice cream!" Kairi told him.

Riku began walking ahead of her and stood before her in line. She was digging through her bag and grabbing the money she would need and began hopping up and down. "$4.50" the ice cream seller said, Riku turned around with two ice cream cones, she looked at him confused.

"You got two?"

"One for me," he pushed the other one towards her, "one for you."

Kairi smiled at him, but softly hit him on the hand. "You didn't have to!"

"I wanted to."

She accepted his offer and began eating the ice cream, "I don't expect this to be an everyday thing."

"By the way you're always eating, it won't be."

"Ah, man!" Sora cried out again. "You guys double teamed me!"

Axel held up the controller and began pointing out the controls for each button, "got it memorized?"

Sora huffed as Roxas laughed. The door opened and the two walked through to the cool room. "We're back!" Kairi said as Riku shut the door to keep the fresh air in.

The two walked to the living room seeing Axel, but didn't say anything.

"You guys got ice cream?" Roxas said with envy.

"Actually, Riku did," she pushed him slightly with a smile on her face. "Why he did it, I don't know. But it would have melted if I didn't take it."

Sora looked at the two with anger and jealousy. His jaw clamped down, refraining to ask how it was because it would just make him more made and upset about why he didn't go.

"Video games? Want to play, Sora?"

"Wh-what?"

"Or are you afraid to lose to a girl?" All the guys went 'oooooooh'.

"You've played this before?" Sora didn't know if he was surprised, impressed, or attracted to her because of this.

"I'm sure, Kairi's better at it than him," Axel whispered to Roxas.

"Probably," Roxas picked up his controller and handed it to Kairi. "Play with mine."

"When Xion and I are bored we play this!"

"Yeah, sure, I'm not going easy on you!"

Riku laughed at that and sat next to Axel and whispered to him. "He's gonna try to show off," the two laughed.

"Let's place a bet, loser has to clean the whole place for a month?"

"Deal," and the two shook hands.

"Now, can you tell me the controls again?"

Sora laughed a little, "sure thing."

Kairi leaned forward, killing Sora before he even saw her. She constantly through grenades at him with perfect aim. He just gulped and looked over at the guys who were snickering. He looked back and right when he was able to play, he was snipped by her. The game was over.

"Good job, Kai," Roxas hi-fived her.

Kairi leaned over at Sora and pinched his cheek. "Better luck next time."

"I was going easy on you!"

"You still lost," she sang out and began walking towards her room. "I need to change clothes, I'll be right back."

Sora just sat there listening to the guys talk about them when she left.

"You should do it soon," Axel kept persistently saying.

"You're like the girl in the relationship," Riku said.

Roxas looked over at Riku, he could tell. Riku looked down at Roxas with his jade eyes, glaring them at him. Roxas smile faded, he knew it.

Roxas and Axel got up. "Well, it was nice to see you get your ass kicked, Sora," Roxas said. "But the two of us 'ought to get going."

"Nice being here," Axel said.

The two left, leaving Riku and Sora together. Sora was about to say something but t Kairi came out in short shorts and a t-shirt. "Aww, they left, I was just getting warmed up."

"I'll be heading out later tonight myself," Riku said and left to his room.

"Well," Kairi put her hands on her hips. "Shall you and I watch a movie tonight?"

"After I do somethings, sure," Sora agreed.

"I'll be waiting then," and she left to the living room to see what she could do to entertain herself.

Sora walked back to where Riku was getting ready.

"What was that?" Riku asked Sora.

"W-"

"Kairi isn't going to like that in a man,"

"What?" Sora stood there, baffled.

"Kairi is going to like me," Riku turned his head to Sora with a smirk on his face.

"Riku?"

"You're not the only one who likes her."

"So, what are you saying?"

"Heh, you don't get it? Do I have to spell it out to you, I like Kairi and she'll like me."

Not giving a space for pause, "and what makes you so sure she'll like you?"

"I show her a good time and you? all you do is show off and fail at it, badly."

"She'll like me," Sora said softly.

"Want to bet on it?" Riku offered.

"Bet?"

"Yeah, whoever can get Kairi to like them first."

"I don't know.. Betting on Kairi, seems wrong."

"Winner gets Kairi," Hesitantly, Sora agreed. "When Kairi says," Riku put his best girl impression, "'I love you' wins," Riku paused while taking out his more fancy clothing. "And with that," he called out to Kairi. "I'm up for that haircut now."

So see the main problem?
Hopefully!
