Okay, this is WAY different from the last chapter, but I figured I'd get in one last short, fluffy chapter before we get this show on the road. Now, Roxas?

Roxas: "DarthKingdom doesn't own Kingdom Hearts, Disney, Square Enix, or anything else. Just plot and O.C.s. And when are we actually going to meet one?"

Just a few chapters from now.

Chapter 9: Senseless Flirting

Sora awoke the next morning to a strange –but pleasant- sensation. First, there was a comfortable wieght pressing down on his chest. Second, something light and soft was against his lips.

It moved to his cheeks, his forehead, the tip of his nose, both of his eyelids, and then back to his lips again, where they lingered.

Finally emerging from the twilight in between sleep and consciousness, Sora realized that the nice wieght on his chest was Kairi. And the wonderful feeling moving across his face was her lips.

The next time she arrived at his lips, he began to kiss her back. It lasted for several minutes until they ran out of air. Sora finally opened his eyes.

Kairi was holding herself up above him and grinning coyly at him. All traces of the anxiety of the previous night gone. Her eyes had a twinkle in them.

"You know, I could get used to waking up like that." Sora muttered with a grin.

She giggled and gave him another brief kiss. "I could make that happen." She smiled and hopped out of the bed. She slipped into her new purple robe, and put her shoes back on.

When she turned around, Sora was still in bed with the pillow over his head. Kairi sighed, and walked over to the bed. She leaned down right over the pillow, and screamed, "WAKE UP YOU LAZY BUM!!"

Sora jumped so badly he fell out of the bed into a heap on the floor. He sent a half-hearted glare at Kairi, who was laughing her head off. "So after all this time, I'm still a lazy bum?"

Kairi didn't respond, and just laughed a little more. Her eyes twinkled, and she walked over to the couch. Sora untangled himself from the covers that had fallen off with him, and craned his neck to see what she was doing. She had picked up his shoes and jacket.

She grinned at him just as he realized what she planned to do. She bolted out the door with his things in her hands. Sora chased after her down the hall shouting, "Get back here you little thief!"

And of course, it didn't work. She just kept running, laughing every time Sora yelled at her to stop.

"Admit it." Roxas said "You're enjoying this."

So what if I am? You know, technically you're doing the same thing with Namine right now.

"And I'm not afraid to admit it!"

Sora chased Kairi all around the castle for several minutes, drawing some strange looks (if that was possible) from some Tron 2.0s on the second floor. At one point Sora got close enough to Kairi that he brushed her hair with his fingertips. She was only able to get away by making a sharp turn. Sora smashed into the wall, and lost several feet on her.

The end of the chase arrived when the young lovers reached the first floor. Kairi made one false step and tripped over herself. She landed on her back, which gave Sora the perfect opportunity to pin her to the floor by her shoulders.

They layed there panting for a moment before Sora commented, "You've gotten a lot faster."

"You haven't seen the best of it yet." She said wiith a smile.

It was only after that comment that they noticed they had stopped at the feet of a very confused Hayner, Pence and Olette.

"Ummm..." Sora started, but Hayner cut across him.

"No! No, I don't think I want to know!" He and the other two walked quickly back into the meeting room, leaving Sora and Kairi still on the floor.

"Well, that was embarrasing." Kairi muttered, though she was smiling a bit. Sora got up off of her, and helped her up. He made a point of taking the shoes and jacket from her grasp first.

"What'd you do that for?" Sora asked.

Kairi giggled and gave him that same coy smile from before. "I had to think of something to get you out of bed! And don't pretend you didn't enjoy it."

She winked at him and walked to the door, swaying her hips along the way. Sora stared stupidly at her for a second before following. As they entered the meeting room he muttered (with a tiny smile), "Little thief."

Jack Sparrow looked at him from across the table. "Eh?"

Rikku floated up from the tabletop a few inches. "We haven't even done anything yet!"

"Not you." Sora said exasperatedly. "She stole my shoes and jacket, and had me chase her around the castle."

"In other words," Hayner announced "They were just flirting all the way around the castle. Could you save it for after breakfast, at least, guys?"

Sora blushed and Kairi just laughed more.

They sat down and ate the light breakfast that Tifa brought them. They were frequently interrupted by the amusing comments that their friends threw at them.

Riku walked in about five minutes into the meal and got to join in as soon as Hayner recounted the story to him. Though Sora couldn't help but notice that he was unusually courteous to Yuffie. He complimented her headband once, and also picked a bit of egg off her face, causing her to blush.

He smiled and traded a smirk with his girlfriend. They both couldn't help but think that they weren't the only ones flirting.

Wow, that was short. Anywho, for anyone who's interested, I'M OUT OF SCHOOL! Woot! Please review.

Blackrogue123, thanks for the advice. I've written plenty other chapters, and in my humble opinion they're much better than this.

Heaven-monument, there will be more FF characters later, and plenty of old ones return. I'll give you a hint. One of them starts with a 'V'. If I write any of them out of character, I apologize.
