Chapter 3: Outta Nowhere

1 week later.

Saturday morning 11 am beach side. Sora and Riku are sparring with swords. A group of children are on the ground watching them. Sora was dodging all of Riku's attacks with precision timing for the most part. Riku only managed hit Sora once when they started. Riku went in for the final blow but Sora dodged and made Riku stumble to the ground. The children stared in amazement as Sora walked over to Riku with a grin on his face and extended his hand to help Riku back up on to his feet.

"And that boys... is what you don't do in a battle. Any questions?" Sora asked the young group of boys sitting on the white sand looking at him.

A small brown hair boy raised his hand.

"Yes Taichi?"

"How did you do that sword spin? It looked complicated." the young boy asked.

Sora patted the young boy on the head.

"When you're older I'll teach it to you. If you learnt it now you might get hurt, Now go on I think your parents are waiting for you to go home for lunch." Sora answered with a smile.

All the boys ran off to their parents into the distance. As Sora saw the boys off Riku approached him with a water bottle in hand. He thanked Riku for the drink as both of them sat down on the sand overlooking the ocean.

"You let me win didn't you?" Riku joked

"Maybe." Sora joked back.

The two of them chuckled.

"So has your lady friend contacted you at all since that night?" Riku asked curiously

Sora shook his head.

"Nah, I don't expect her to contact me this soon, after all it's only been a week since we first met. Besides I have other things to worry about right now."

Riku nodded.

"Right Xion went for her entrance exam today plus we have that big event we're catering for tonight. What time is she supposed to finish?"

"I don't know. She said when she was done that she would call me but... nothing yet so far. I'm really hoping it's before service tonight. I know she can ace it but still ya know, I can't help but worry." Sora told him.

Riku took a drink of his water before speaking.

"I get you, after all you're the only living biological family she has left. You're only looking out for her. Besides I'm sure like you that she'll get in and if they don't let her in, well write a strongly worded letter to them."

Both of them laughed, Riku then checked the time on his phone.

"Well I've got to be going. Need a ride back home?"

"Where are you going? You got a hot lunch date or something?" Sora teased

Riku chuckled.

"As a matter of fact I do. Remember that cute brunette haired girl at work who started recently in the dining room I was telling you about last week? She finally agreed to go on a date with me." Riku answered.

"Congrats Riku, I hope you have a good time." Sora said as he congratulated him.

"Thanks, I'm hoping it'll go good too. Anyway Sora before I go I have some advice for you: Don't wait around for her to call, Man up and make the first move girls like it if the guy makes the first move."

"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Riku."

Riku gave Sora a bro hug and then left for his date. Sora remained on the beach as he looked out into the distance. He then took out his phone and stared at Kairi's number. He was about to call her when his phone started to ring. On the caller Id it was Xion with a black cap on her head set as her picture. Sora answered.

"SORA! SORA! SORA!" Xion yelled into the receiver.

"Woah there Xi! First I need you to breathe. Then calmly tell me how your exam went. If you speak 3000 words a minute then I'll be here for years." Sora told her as he was ringing his ears out.

"Very funny Sora you're a natural born comedian. Anyway the exam went really well, I asked the instructor how well I did and he said that my score is the best one out of everyone who took it today. So I think that makes me a shoe in for Radiant Garden next year." Xion answered in glee.

"Well when do you find out when you make it in or not?"

"Tonight."

Sora rubbed the back of his head.

"Well I have to work tonight until midnight, we're catering for some party and the boss wants it to all be perfect. Think you can wait up until then for me?"

"Of course, besides... you still haven't told me what happened that night Roxas set you up with that girl. After all I am your sister and it is my job to make fun of you or are you not telling me because something embarrassing happened?"

Sora chuckled.

"I'll tell you when I come home Xi. I've got to go."

"Later bro. And don't forget the protection."

Sora sighed as he hanged up on Xion. Sometimes he wondered where she got her imagination from. Half of him blame Riku and Roxas's sense of humour, the other part of him blamed himself because he knew sometimes he could get really dirty with his jokes.

His mind then drifted back to earlier as the call screen faded back to what he was looking at before Xion called him.

"Well maybe one more day couldn't hurt right Kairi? Besides not like your car or maybe one of your friends is down the street blowing smoke cause you have engine problems."

Meanwhile...

Kairi and her friend Slephie were standing out on the middle of a stretch of road. Kairi was wearing a pink sundress with a pair of light blue sandals and silver bracelets. Her friend Slephie was wearing a yellow dress with a orange pair of sandals, a gold wedding ring on her left hand and a simple silver necklace on her neck.

"Selphie. How many times have I told you get your car checked before something bad happens to it? But nooooooooo you just had to ignore me and the others about it. Now we're stuck here until someone comes by to help." Kairi told the woman named Selphie.

"In my defence... I thought I could squeeze in a couple more years with it, after all this was my baby." Selphie answered with a sheepish grin on her face.

Kairi sighed as she looked at her brown haired green eyed friend. Slephie had been Kairi's friend since childhood. They met in 3rd grade when they both had the same teacher: Ms. Heartilly. She had paired up together for a art project about making a portrait of each other and they hit it off from there. So it wasn't a surprise when Selphie decided to become a teacher like Kairi and even work at the same school as her.

Kairi checked her phone.

"Great low battery, and the nearest garage is 10 miles from here." Kairi exclaimed in frustration

"10 miles?! We can't push the car that far. We'll die in this heat." Selphie cried in the same frustration

Kairi and Selphie slumped against the side of Selphie's black sports car hoping that someone would see them and help them out.

"So Kairi... how did the other night go? Ya know with the setup with that guy you were telling me about the other day in the lunchroom." Selphie asked trying to make conversation.

Kairi slightly blushed before answering.

"It was... something. I mean don't get me wrong he seems to be a very good guy, he's cute, energetic, funny, charming and every other cliché thing when it comes to the dream list of boys but..." Kairi began before pausing

"But?" Selphie interjected

"We decided to take it slow and start as friends."

"Which is fair. But Kairi since I'm your best friend tell me... do you honestly see a future with him possibly?" Selphie asked seriously

Kairi blushed a little deeper.

"Maybe Selphie, who knows what the future holds." Kairi answered as she looked to the sky.

The two of them sighed as they waited in the heat for someone to come.

Sora was walking back to his apartment in the heat. He would have taken his car but Xion had taken his car for her exam this morning, so he had to hitch a ride with Riku. As he was walking he noticed two people sitting on the side of the road. When he got close enough he had to rub his eyes and pinch himself to make sure that he wasn't dreaming.

"Kairi's here?! I WAS JOKING GOD WHEN I SAID HER CAR SHOULD BRAKE DOWN! Wait calm down here Sora it looks like she has a friend with her. All I need to do is keep calm, walk over there and find out what's happening." Sora said to himself

Sora calmly collected his breath and walked over.

"Hey you, having car trouble?" Sora teased as he stood in front of Kairi.

"Sora! What are you doing here?" Kairi asked as she gave Sora a friendly hug.

"I was walking home from my class that I teach with my friend Riku who's gone on a date with a co-worker and Xion took my car this morning for her exam. So here I am but who is this with you and what's wrong with the car?" Sora asked with his brow furrowed.

"This is Selphie Tilmitt-Tachibana." Kairi repiled as she introduced Selphie.

"Pleasure to meet your acquittance Mr.?" Selphie asked as she shook Sora's hand.

"Sora. Sora Hikari."

"Well Mr. Sora Hikari... do you know how to fix cars?" Selphie asked with a devilish grin

Sora grinned.

"Luckily for you girls, I'm an expert at fixing cars. Do you have a toolbox in the trunk?" Sora asked not knowing Selphie's intentions.

"I do, let me just open it."

Sora nodded as Selphie opened her car door and pressed the button to open the trunk. She then walked to the trunk and pulled out the black toolbox and handed it to Sora. Kairi then pulled Selphie to the side.

"Selphie! What in the world are you thinking?! You can't just ask him to repair the car just like that!" Kairi quietly yelled at Selphie so that Sora couldn't hear them.

"Well it's either he fixes it or we can push the car all the way to the garage to get repair and I'm not going to struggle for 10 miles just for that. So suck it up and let him do this besides I want to see what makes him so special." Selphie teased.

Kairi and Selphie watched as Sora took off his t-shirt to reveal his skin. They both noticed that Sora had a 6 pack. Selphie whistled at his physique while Kairi stood there enticed by what she was seeing.

"Do you have a rag I can use to wipe myself?" Sora asked from under the hood of the car.

Selphie noticed how hard Kairi was staring at Sora and gave her the rag to give to Sora. Kairi walked over to Sora and handed him the rag. He took the rag from her.

"Thanks."

Kairi nodded as she slowly slid her way back next to Selphie. She then nudged Selphie.

"I hate you so much right now." Kairi gritted through her teeth.

"Love you too Kairi. You'll thank me one day for this." Selphie joked.

1 hour later...

"And done." Sora exclaimed as he closed the hood of Selphie's car.

"Sora you are a life saver! What was wrong with my baby?" Selphie asked in excitement.

"Well, you need to get your fan checked out because it's causing the engine to overheat, the oil needs to be changed and the filter needs to be changed. I fixed it to the best I could but you'll still need to take it to a garage somewhere." Sora answered as he wiped his hands on the rag that was given to him earlier.

"Sora, you are a life saver."

"Nah, I'm just your average person who believes in helping people, besides I believe it's the duty of every gentleman to help a lady out when she needs it. It's probably something I picked up from my foster dad. Anyway I should be going, after all I need to go to work tonight. See you sometime later ladies." Sora grinned at her as he told her.

Sora started to walk away after putting on his shirt when Selphie stopped him.

"Wait Sora, how about we drive you back to your place? After all it's the least I could do for you fixing my baby."

Kairi tensed up as she awaited Sora's answer.

"Well... sure why not?" Sora answered with a huge smile.

"Great, you can sit in the back with Kairi." Selphie told him.

Kairi turned red and fainted which caused Sora and Selphie to rush to her side to awake her to no avail. The last image she had before fully losing consciousness was Sora holding her from hitting the ground and yelling her name.

When Kairi awoke hours later she noticed that neither Selphie or Sora were near her. In fact she wasn't in Selphie's car but rather was in a strange bedroom. She quietly picked herself up from the bed that she was on and made it. When that was done she made her way to the living room area.

When she entered the room she noticed a girl with short black hair.

"Excuse me? Where am I?" Kairi asked as she clutched her head.

"Oh. You're up, I thought you would be asleep for much longer." The young girl told her as Kairi looked at her.

"D-Did you kidnap me?!" Kairi asked worriedly

"What?! No?! I'm not that kind of girl. I should probably explain." the girl said in a freaked out tone of voice.

"That would be wise." Kairi told her.

The young girl cleared her throat before speaking.

"My name is Xion Hikari. I live here with my brother who've you already have met. He's the one who brought you here." Xion told her.

Kairi then did the math and put two and two together.

"Then that means..."

"Yes. Sora is my brother."

"You always want to be the person who sees the best in people. I have been a cop for twenty-five years. All I can see is the flaws, the lies, the dark thoughts that people think I don't see. I wish I could be you. As fast as you are, THAT is your real power. Don't let Wells take that from you. I don't know why he's helping us. All that matters is that he is."
