-Just Like A Dream-

Sora was face to face with Riku. The silver haired emo was charging towards him at full speed with a wooden katana in his left hand.

The brunette made an attempt to defend himself and failed miserably. He was still dazed by the events that happened yesterday.

Yesterday, I walked her home… Riku's blade slammed into his, the force causing him to take a step back.

I managed to make a fool of myself… The brunette narrowly dodged a swipe to his head.

When she brought up the topic about the back-to-school event, I somehow invited her to the concert… The katana jabbed towards his stomach, Sora managed to jump over it and deliver a halfhearted strike on his own. The older teen dodged it easily.

And she accepted… Riku slammed the brunette in the shoulder with the hilt of his blade, sending him flying across the gym.

Everything was like a dream for Sora. The things that happened the last few days weren't one bit realistic to him. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if he woke up in bed a few seconds later.

Sora's idea didn't happen. What happened instead was that he felt severe pain coming from his shoulder. Riku hand disarmed him and now held the point of his blade no more than a centimeter away from his throat. It was over.

Coach Snow blew his whistle, and the piercing sound echoed across the training room. After announcing the winner, Snow mumbled something about taking a break before jogging over and helping Sora up.

The brunette was still lost in his thoughts when he saw Snow's hand waving around his eyes.

"Hey kid! You okay?"

Sora blinked his eyes twice and looked at the environment around him. Gymnasium A. 2nd period. Physical Education. He suddenly remembered that they were in gym A fencing while the girls were in gym B doing whatever girls do in P.E. class. Their came up with the idea that the girls shouldn't have to join in with all the aggressive sports the guys are doing, so they separated them into 2 groups. The guys in one and the gals in the other.

"Oh, yeah…" He managed to mumble out of his mouth.

"You sure? You don't look okay. You've zoned out ever since 5 minutes ago when Riku won." Cloud slapped Sora's back hard and knocked some sense into him.

5 minutes ago? Was I really out that long?A blonde walked up to his side with a sheathed sword sling across his back. "Yeah, I've seen him like that. He's fine." Roxas waved Snow off before he could come up with any suggestions that involved mouth-to-mouth resurrection.

"So, you blanked out again? Dude, that's the second time I've seen you do that this week! What's with you?

Yeah, you've only seen a little of what I've been doing these days. "Nothing really…"

Roxas grabbed the brunette's shoulders. "Sora, look at me."

Sora looked at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment. Then Roxas came up with a conclusion.

"Your in love."

Okay?

"Tell me who do you like?"

"What do you mean by 'who do you like'?"

"It's a girl." Well thank you Mr. Obvious. Do you think it would be a guy?

"Look, I just think that she's cute but-"

"Meaning you like her." Roxas deadpanned. "So, who is it?"

"…"

"It's Kairi, right?"

The blonde's question was answered with a blush from Sora's cheeks.

"So you really like her?"

"I do?" Well, I certainly don't hate her for lending me the umbrella yesterday… Anyways… "How did you know?"

"Look at you! You're zoning out every 10 minutes thinking of her! You don't put your heart into anything you do! This isn't the Sora I know!"

Your right. And this Sora doesn't know you either.

"Sora. Get a grip!" By now Roxas was shaking him furiously. "What happened to the old carefree you?"

He was arrested and taken into prison for killing a certain blonde… He couldn't really say that could he?

Tweet! Saved by the P.E. teacher's whistle. "Al right kids! Breaks over!" He was just about to shout something about getting-your-buts-back-to-fencing when a pink haired lady ran towards him and whispered something in his ear.

Sora looked at the newcomer. She looked familiar… Just like the lady from the ice cream shop. She must be her sister.

It turned out that the lady was the girl's P.E. coach. And apparently, some parent who complained that their child wasn't getting enough exercise only dancing around called the school yesterday and disagreed with the whole gender divide sports idea.

Sora didn't really mind. Hey, back then in my old school, everybody was jammed into one small gym. Even with the extra people, the school's gymnasium still roomy.

Snow continued his announcement. "The girls will be joining us shortly for fencing. I hope you guys will cut them some slack and not maim them in the first 10 seconds." That earned him a friendly chuckle from the guys and a not so friendly nudge from the girl's coach, Lightning, as her card said.

"Well, first up in court one, we have Roxas and Olette. In court two, we have Yuffie and Pence…" Sora couldn't help roll his eyes at the boy girl pairs. Who was the person who came up with the "we have to get physical with each other" idea?

Then he heard his name. "…On court thirteen, we have Sora and Kairi…" Great. Now what am I going to do?

He looked around for the auburn haired girl and found her behind him. "Hey, listen… You don't have to do this…"

She smiled. "It's a big mistake to underestimate me."

Okay… Cute and aggressive… Wait did I just…

The brunette's thoughts were disrupted when he felt a tug on his left arm. Kairi pulled him on the area they've been assigned with.

"Ready?" The girl found a wooden rapier lying around and pointed it towards Sora, standing a few feet away from her.

"Kairi… You don-"

Mr. Overprotective was cut short with a well aimed jab towards his throat. He narrowly escaped from the red haired girl's attack and parried another aiming for his legs. Man was she fast.She was striking all over the place like a hurricane made of edges and blades. Sora was left only to defend.

She jabbed to the right; Sora raised his own blade to intercept her strike. Before he knew it, she faked a left and took a swipe at his chest. He jumped over only to get a cut on his right shoulder, where Riku nailed him with his sword hilt. The pain caused him to shudder.

He thought he heard Axel scream like the maniac he was against Larxane, but he wasn't sure. It was hard enough concentrating not to get decapitated by his cute looking opponent, much less listen to Axel shout about how much it hurts getting a jab with a blade between his legs.

Sora ducked over one attack and side stepped to avoid another. Man, do looks deceive… She looked so frail, so harmless… And here she is, owning my butt with a sword.

Still Sora couldn't help but to take all the time he could get to admire his opponent. Even when she's owning someone in a sword fight, she still looks cute.

Her face scrunches up whenever she strikes, her wild purple tinted eyes shining brightly under the gym lights, her haired flowing madly around her shoulders from all that swinging swords, her soft cherry-red lips squeezed together tightly with a small curve on either end… Her soft cherry-red lips…

Before Sora realized that it was a bad move to admire how cute his deadly opponent was, he found the sword point of the auburn haired girl's blade less than an inch in front of his chest. First I get smashed by Riku, now I get owned by Kairi? Wow, Sora… You really do fail with swords…

The brunette was about to criticize more on lame sword skills when he found the sword point advancing closer towards him. He backed up.

What else could he do? Even though the weapons were made of wood, they still hurt a lot if the user wanted them to. Judging from Kairi's wild look, she'd very much like to do that to him…

Uhh… Coach? Now would be a good time to announce that she won already so I don't have to get a new scar…

His prayers were left unanswered. Kairi pointed her rapier towards the brunette and advanced. The brunette was slowly pushed back into a wall.

Kairi… I take back everything I said about you being incompetent of using swords… Now please don't hurt me…

No luck.

Sora looked at his blade in hand. I might as well give this a try… Surly it would save me from being 'Kairi bait' right?

Wrong.

Kairi followed Sora's glance and immediately knew what he was up to. She disarmed him in less then a blink of an eye. Then continued to advance knowing well that the prey with brunette coloured hair was pinned.

He had no escape. It was like animal kingdom, when a lion corners the gazelle, there's no way the prey would get away now.

Sora knew that when the prey was pinned, the predator would now go for the kill. Just like what Kairi was doing right now. She held her wooden rapier in her right hand with the sword tip now at Sora's chest, her hair was messed from the whirlwind of attacks she'd been delivering, her face had a proud look on it… Like the one where the lion finally gets to finish off the kill. The wild looks never left her eyes.

Sora was sandwiched between the point of a sword and the wall. Aww crap… Just please don't make this hurt a lot… Sora closed his eyes and braced himself for severe pain.

What came next surprised him completely. He didn't feel the cuts and slashes of her sword. He didn't feel the jabs and swipes of her sword. Heck, he didn't even feel any pain…

The brunette opened his eyes to find that Kairi had already removed her sword from his chest. In the swords place was her hand. She pinned him to the wall with one hand and she took cupped his face the other. The wild look still in her purple tinted eyes. What she did next surprised him most. She closed her eyes, leaned forwards and pressed her soft lips on his.

Sora wasn't sure if his heart was beating or not by now. He was sure that she had sent him to a one-way trip to heaven. What was happening now was just a figment of his imagination. The girl in his imagination left when the imaginary coach blew on his imaginary whistle.

Why are your dreams so crazy? Wake up, Sora! Wake up! Dammit…

After Sora slid down the 'imaginary' wall, he pressed his hand on his hurt shoulder. Sure enough, the pain was real… So was her minty breath that still lingered in his mouth.

A/N: Yay! Sora gets his first kiss of the story! Notice how I wrote "first"? Haha… And if you're still unsure whether you read that correctly, lemmy word this out for you. There will be many more… Interesting moments in this story.
