On That Road Again
Summary: Roxas and Namine decided to end their Spring Break early by going to Traverse Town and want Sora and Kairi to come. Sora and Kairi aren't on good terms with each other, but what happens when they're stuck on an 11 hour road trip together?
A/N: So I thought that I should make a multi-chapter one this time and I'm really excited. :D So yeah! Read and review! The idea came to me really randomly so bare with me. XD
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. Although, it WOULD be pretty awesome bahah. ANYWAY.
"No! I don't know what the value of X is!" Kairi screeched as she threw her Algebra 2 textbook across the room. What was the point of giving homework during spring break? Her friend, Namine, wasn't there to help her with the homework, so Kairi thought that she should just quit her homework for the night.
Kairi slammed her head into her pillow and sighed as she looked up to the ceiling. It wasn't until now that she realized she still had the glow in the dark stars above her on her ceiling. She laughed to herself. The glow must have faded otherwise she would have noticed them in the dark.
It was spring break and she was alone in her dormitory for the rest of the break. Namine and her boyfriend Roxas had left to go see their friends Olette, Hayner, and Pence back in Twilight Town which was on the other side of the world. Kairi thought she'd give the couple some space and let them hang out with their old friends. She couldn't hang out with her other friends, Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka because they left for an amusement park and wouldn't be back for a couple of days. That only left one person, and she cringed at the thought.
"Kaiiiriiiii!" A voice on the other side of her door sang. Kairi groaned and rolled her eyes. "What do you want?" She asked annoyed. "You." At this, she opened the door.
"You're not funny, you know?" Kairi spatted at boy in front of her.
"Sure I am," Sora smiled widely. "Again, what do you want?" This time Kairi was going crazy. Sora was now grinning widely, like he was hiding something. "Didn't you get Namine's call?"
Kairi's face fell. "Wh-what call?" As if the irony was looking down on her, Kairi's cell phone started dancing on the table next to her bed. She glared at Sora while picking up the phone as Sora started to laugh. Why does he keep grinning and laughing? Kairi thought.
"Hello?" She answered. "Hey, Kairi!" Kairi saw Sora looking through her computer drawer as she was on the phone. "Sora! Have you ever heard of the word 'privacy'?" Sora snickered as he closed the drawer, grabbed a pencil, and started to draw on a piece of paper.
"Um.. Huh?" Namine asked confused. "Sorry, Nam. Sora's here in the dorm and he's being a nuisance." Sora frowned at this and continued to draw. "Oh, great… Sora's there… Um. There's something I need to ask of you."
"Anything!" Kairi cheered.
"Well… Don't kill Sora once I ask you, okay?" Namine sheepishly said. "Oh my God, Namine. What did he do?"
"Nothing! I just… Alright I'll just ask you. Roxas and I are going to leave Twilight Town early and we're going to Traverse Town. I wanted you to come." Namine was squeezing Roxas' hand in the process. "Um, hun, you can lose the grip?" Roxas' voice squeaked. Namine gave him an apologetic look and let go. Kairi started to laugh at both Roxas and the question.
"That's sounds fun! Kind of a long drive, but you know that I don't have a license or a car right now, right?" Kairi asked confused. "That's the point. You'll have to ride with-" Namine was cut off. "NO! Absolutely not! Do you WANT me to go insane? Might as well lock me up in a straight jacket. That would be a little more bearable."
"Come on! Please, Kairi? This is a great chance for you and Sora to finally get on good terms with each other," Namine begged. Kairi looked over at Sora and he grinned as he drew. Of course he knew. He just wanted to torture her.
"Namine, it is an 11 hour drive. Do you expect to drive that long with him?" Kairi twitched. She saw Sora in front of her and he grabbed her phone. "Um, what do you think you're doing?"
"She'll go. We'll leave at the crack of dawn and be there by at least 5 o'clock. I'll see you two later." There were flames in Kairi's eyes as he closed her cell phone and smiled at her.
"WHO SAID I WANTED TO GO?"
"Um, you, like two minutes ago. Start packing, I'll wake you up at 4 AM." Sora said seriously. "And what makes you think you'll be up before me? I was always the one who had to call you every morning just to make sure you were up," Kairi reminisced. She didn't mean to say it, it just slipped out.
"Do you miss those times?" Sora forwarded flirtatious eyes towards Kairi as she showed no expression. "O-of course not." He started to walk closer when she interrupted him. "Um, 4 AM. Got it. Let the nightmare begin." Sora smirked, shook his head, and headed for the door. "Well I do."
Kairi had no idea what he meant, but it hit her when she remembered the question he just asked.
As Sora walked outside to his Jeep with keys in hand, he noticed that it was unusual to be leaving when the sun wasn't even out yet. He had two bags of luggage in his arms and swung them in the back of the jeep. They were scooted all the way into the corner, leaving room for Kairi's endless amount of luggage, he guessed. But the question was, where was Kairi? You've got to be kidding me. She was suppose to meet me at my car 10 minutes ago. She cannot still be asleep. Sora annoyingly thought in his head.
He walked up to her dorm room and knocked. Kairi wasn't the one to leave someone hanging at the door, so she was obviously asleep. Sora waited two more minutes, and went to the last result which would probably end up getting a slap in the arm later. He lifed up the 'Welcome' mat near her door, grabbed the spare key, and unlocked the door.
Sora made careful that he made no noise, even though she was suppose to be awake. He looked straight ahead, and saw Kairi curled up with her blankets on her side. Sora chuckled to himself and walked over to the bed. He kneeled down, and just watched her sleep. She looks so peaceful… I can't just wake her… He took a deep breath.
"Kairi." No answer. "Kaiiiii. It's time to get up. Roadtrip time!" He yelled in a whisper. She groaned, and he knew exactly what it was towards. Sora was careful, but he took his hand, and wiped a piece of her crimson hair and put it behind her ear. "And you said I was the one who needed to wake up." Sora laughed. An idea popped in his head.
Sora took Kairi's blanket, wrapped it completely around her tiny body, and proceeded with caution. He took one arm and put it under her legs, and the other under her back and lifted her up slowly. She was like a feather to him. He made sure not to wake her up, and proceeded to his car.
Sora was extra careful as he placed her down in the front seat, making her comfortable. Kairi's luggage (which was more than 5 bags) were in the back already stored. It's almost as if Sora knew this would happen, but hey, it's Kairi. You never know what to expect. Sora was surprised he even made it to the car without Kairi yelling for help.
The key was in the ignition. "Alright, let the 11 hour what you call 'nightmare' begin." Sora said to Kairi, but she was already in another world of her own.
"Sora, we should really get going. We have a lot to do today." She couldn't think while Sora was seducing her with his eyes.
It was a lazy Saturday morning, and it was a week before school started. The couple hadn't done any school shopping yet, and today was one of their only chances to do so. But the two lied on the couch, face to face, lips inches away from each other.
"Let's just stay here, Kairi. I don't feel like going anywhere today. I just want to be with you. Right now." He was now caressing her cheek as he held her tighter. Kairi giggled, "I wish we could stay here all day, but we have to get stuff done today."
"Are you sure we have to?" As Kairi was about to speak, Sora's lips met hers. She slowly closed her eyes as she got more into the kiss. It was light, but still passionate. Kairi knew when to stop herself, though. "Come on, Sora. Shop now, kiss later." Sora frowned at first, but smiled. "I like the way you think. Which is why I lo-"
Kairi's memory dream was interrupted as the car she was in hit a halting stop. Her seatbelt stopped her, but it still woke her. "What the hell, Sora?" Kairi yelled tiredly.
"I'm sorry! This jerk in front of me stopped at the green light. Who does that?" Sora had his arm resting on the door, and his palm against his face with the other on the steering wheel. He was obviously tired. Kairi rubbed her eyes furiously, and looked outside. The sun was almost up.
"How long have we been driving?"
Sora laughed. "We? I'm the one who's driving. Knowing you, you'd probably not even put my seatbelt on if I was sleeping. And unlucky for you, only about 45 minutes."
"That's 45 minutes less with you." She then looked at her body; she was wrapped in her favorite blanket that she's had since she was a child. It had a bunch of teddy bears on it, but she didn't care if people made fun of her for it. The blanket use to have a blue background to it, but she's had it so long that the color wore out. She also noticed she was still wearing her pajamas which consisted of very short shorts and a hot pink tank top. Kairi blushed at the site, feeling exposed. She noticed that Sora was already dressed; shady blue jeans, a plain red hoodie (which made his hair a mess causing Kairi to laugh), and his usual black Converse.
"D-did you carry me to the car?"
"Sorry, sue me." Sora rolled his eyes. "And you might want to make sure what you say before you say it out loud. I was awake before you, Kairi. What'd you do, pull an all nighter just to prove me wrong?"
"I was TRYING to finish my math homework, thank you very much. I'm sure you've already finished it?" Kairi joked.
"Actually, I did. The only subject I have trouble with Chemistry." He grinned. Kairi's jaw dropped. How could he have finished it before me? "And I made sure it was that blanket instead of your comforter. I know how disappointed you would have been if you didn't bring Fred with you," he said as he smirked. Kairi glared at him as she clutched her favorite blanket. "Surprised you remembered," she murmured as she looked out the window.
"I would never forget."
OH SNAP. SORA AND KAIRI HAVE A PAST. XD I might update in a couple of days since I have no life whatsoever, but it might be even later because my mom's birthday is on Saturday and I might PARTAY IT UP. But I'll update soon, I promise that. :) ENJOY.
