Radiant Destiny

Chapter 10: “And the party begins!”

After we all got done eating and talking the clock in the kitchen said 5:30p.m, we still had an hour and a thirty minutes before people would start showing up…

“Okay mom we’re going back down stairs.” Axel told Tifa. “Okay sweety.” Tifa responded. Axel and Roxas went ahead of me as see I was stopped by Kairi…


“Mom told me that you seemed to like the one named Riku… Is that true?” Kairi asked only loud enough for me and only me to hear. I blushed and looked over at Mrs. Wildfire to see her doing the little bit of dishes. “Kairi lets talk about this somewhere else okay?” I asked. Kairi nodded with a smile before grabbing my wrist and dragged me to her room…

If there was ever one thing I could not stand from Kairi it was all of the pink! I mean her room is covered in nothing but pink! So I had to adjust my eyes to all of the pink when Kairi shoved me into her room. “Okay Sora spill!” Kairi said from behind me. I sighed. “Yes Kairi I really like the one named Riku… There’s something that just got me when I saw him… his eyes… eyes like… the ocean…” I confessed to my best friend. “Oh wow! What did your soul notice him?!” Kairi asked. I shrugged. “I don’t know… I know the moment I saw his eyes my heart did cartwheels.” I answered not sure how to explain it. “OMG! Sora! That means your soul noticed his! Hes your soul mate!” Kairi said exactly jumping up and down clapping. I blushed. “Are you sure?…” I asked. “Sora stuff like that only happen when you when you meet your soul mate.” Kairi answered being all serious this time. I turned around and walked up to Kairi’s window which looked out to where Riku now lived.

Kairi walked up next to me when Riku’s house door opened and out came his dad. Ooh is that Sephiroth?” Kairi asked. “Yeah… Hes the new general so I guess hes going to the base for that welcome party thing.” I answered seeing him get into the driver seat. “Cool.” Kairi said. “So how was your day with Yuffie?” I asked wanting to change the subject away from me. “It was… weird.” Kairi answered. That made me look at her and blink…

“Sora I think Yuffie likes me… I mean really likes me.” Kairi said. “How does that make you feel?” I asked putting my hand on her shoulder. “Different… I mean when she got close to me I thought she was going to kiss me but she didn’t then afterwards I realized I kind of wanted her too.” Kairi explained. “Kairi sounds like you might really like her instead…” I confirmed. “Yeah I know but I don’t know id I want to want these feelings or not…” Kairi responded. “Kairi the only thing I can tell you is to just do some hard thinking by yourself to see how what your heart wants… That’s what I did before I realized I was gay.” I told her. Kairi smiled. “Thanks Sora.’ Kairi said hugging me as Riku’s front door opened again…

We both looked back out of the window and there was Riku… shirtless! “Kairi… that’s Riku…” I showed Kairi with a smile. “Dang he has muscles! Cute! You two would look good together!” Kairi said giving me her approver. Every since mom and dad died Kairi made it her place to act as if she was my mother… Kairi is so good to me… “I wonder if hes gay?” I thought out loud. “You didn’t here me earlier did you?” Kairi asked. I bit my bottom lip and looked at Kairi. “No you didn’t… I said that mom told me that Yazoo and Riku are gay when I asked about the new neighbors.” Kairi explained. I blinked and blushed before looking back over to Riku who had their dog ‘Boss’ out with him. That dog id big! “So then he is gay…” I said watching Riku sit there petting Boss with a smile.


That’s when I noticed a car there that wasn’t there before… I was wondering who it was when Riku’s front door opened again and out came a orange haired boy. I opened Kairi’s window in hopes to hear what they were talking about. Thank god it was quiet outside…

“”Yo Riks I’m going back home to the islands take care of Boss.” The guy said. Riku stood up. “You can stay the night Wakka, dad won’t mind you know that.” Riku responded. This Wakka smiled. “Sorry buddy but mom wants me home…” This Wakka said turning down Riku’s request. Riku’s shoulders went down. “Come on Riku I know you hate moving and this time mom didn’t get transferred along with Sephiroth so we have to say bye but it’s not like we won’t still be best buds.” Wakka said hugging Riku. “Wakka we’ve been friends since we were five… What am I suppose to do without you?” Riku asked after their hug. “I don’t know man but I’m always a call away okay?” Wakka answered. “Okay… thanks for dropping off Boss.” Riku said. “No prob, besides it gave me an excuse to see ya!” Wakka said with a smile petting Boss. “Tell my hot Yazoo to call me okay?” Wakka said as he walked to his car. “Wakka Yazoo’s not your boyfriend anymore…” Riku said with a laugh. Wakka laughed too. “I know that but that doesn’t mean he stopped being hot to me…” Wakka responded before waving and getting into the driver seat. We stood there and watched Riku’s best friend drive away… “Sora promise me you will never leave me like that…” Kairi said. I smiled. “I won’t Kairi.” I promised… Riku took Boss and went back in with a sad expression on his face…


“Hopefully he still comes over to feel better.” I said. “If he doesn’t I’m going over there and make him.” Kairi said. “Kairi!” I yelled “Hey I’m making it my mission to get you two together!” Kairi yelled back. “Great now it’s you and Axel both…” I said closing her window… “Well then with us both trying to set you up with him it’ll defiantly work!” Kairi beamed… ‘yah…’


I decided to stay in Kairi’s room until it was almost seven so Axel and Roxas could have some alone time before the party… So at 6:5op.m me and Kairi went down stairs to grab the dips and head down to the basement. “We’re coming down so if your not descent say so!” Kairi yelled like she always does when we leave them alone. “Come on down Axel’s glued to the t.v!” Roxas yelled up. “Told you he would like the game.” Kairi said as we went down the stairs…

When we got to the bottom Roxas was getting Axel to save and put up the game. “One more minute before seven Axel.” Roxas said. “Okay just let me save.” Axel responded not taking his eyes off of the t.v until he turned it off. “Man I left you guys alone for a different reason Axel, not that.” Kairi said sitting the dips by the chips. “Roxy said not until after the party so I might have as well played some Crono Cross!” Axel responded with a shrug… “Awe poor Axy…” Kairi said with a mocking pout. “Yeah yeah pick on the birthday boy…” Axel responded. “Well of course I have to! It’s your birthday and I have no money!” Kairi explained hugging Axel again. “Your hugs are present enough little sister…” Axel said with a smile. Kairi has always had that effect on people… I looked at the clock… ‘6:55p.m…

After about a minute went by Axel seemed to get impatient. “Well it’s seven so where are they?” Axel asked. “Axel it’s 6:56.” I corrected him. “What?” Axel said before looking at the clock. “Roxy you told me a minute ago that it was a minute till…: Axel said cocking his eye brow at Roxas. “It was the only way to get you to stop playing…” Roxas answered not at all afraid of Axel. “Oh really… well guess who’s not walking tomorrow?” Axel said with a evil smirk. Roxas blushed. I am so glad I’m not my twin… “Ewe something’s sisters should not picture!” Kairi said walking towards the C.D’s. Axel laughed.

“So what music tonight?” Kairi asked looking at the different C.D’s. “Well it’s my birthday so I get to choose… Ozzy, My Chemical Romance, Rob Zombie, Saw soundtracks, Underworld soundtracks, Queen of the Dammed soundtracks, Emeniem, Yin Yang twins, 2Pak, you know all of those and whatever people yell out for tonight…” Axel named off. “Okay Axel since it’s your birthday you have the final say…” Kairi said feeling the same way I do about some of that he picked… Not all of it but some… Soundtracks rock!


I couldn’t help but to get more nervous the closer it got to seven… Kairi was nervous too but that was because of Yuffie I believe… It was now 6:57 and we heard the bell ring for the first time tonight. We all looked at each other and decided to stay where we were… Mrs. Wildfire would answer it which she must have already did because two seats of steps was heard coming down the stairs. I turned around just in time to see Marluxia and Larxene say their happy birthdays to Axel… “Happy birthday Ax!” Larxene said shoving a gift into Axel’s arms. “Thanks Larxene!” Axel said sitting the gift down. Axel always opens his gifts all together. “Happy birthday Axel!” Marty said handing Axel his gift to him as well. “Pinky you got me a gift? Thanks man.” Axel said surprised Marty wasn’t mad anymore. Marluxia beamed at that and Larxene acted like her cold hearted self not showing any emotion… I just don’t get her…

“Don’t worry Lars I picked the music for tonight.” Axel said somehow always able to read Larxene’s face that stayed the same. “good was hoping Barbie didn’t pick this year…” Larxene said. Barbie is her nickname for Kairi by the way… They don’t get along… Complete opposites really… Larxene had on a black under long sleeve top and a one long sleeve dark green shirt that tied on her right waist. She also had on dark green pants with a black band before the purple fluff on the ends of her pants. She also had on a purple cloth belt. By the looks of it Marluxia was able to convince Larxene to let him redesign her outfit for tonight. I really don’t see why Larxene hangs with Marty but they have been friends along with Reno forever… Marluxia had on the outfit he had on earlier today…


I was wondering why Larxene and Marluxia was here so early until Reno came jumping down the stairs. “Yo there you guys are yo.” Reno said wrapping his arms around both Larxene and Marluxia’s necks. “Sorry Axel but I need Lars and Marty for a while yo…” Reno said before dragging them off up the stairs. “So who did you sleep with this time?…” I heard Larxene ask before they were all the way up the stairs. “They better be done in time for the party.” Axel said turning the five C.D disk changer on before grabbing five C.D’s and putting them in. Undertaker from Underworld Evolution played first and even I licked the song…

When the song ended we heard the door bell again. It ran again meaning Axel’s mom must be busy so I got up and went up the stairs. The door bell ran again as I got to the door. “Okay okay I’m here!” I said as I grabbed the door knob. I opened it to find Riku… “Um it’s 7:01... Are we early?” Riku asked. ‘We?…’ I looked behind Riku and there was his brothers. “Oh… no it’s okay. The party’s down stairs, come in.” I said slightly blushing. What is it about Riku that makes me blush so much?! I mean I never blushed this much with Hiroshi… Just as we reached the stairs the bell ran again. “Ugh… Hold on!” I said to the door as I moved around the guys towards the door. I opened the door to find Yuffie, Saix, Xemnas, Demyx, Zexion, and Vexen. “Hey Sora father Cid told me my new cousins are in town, I knocked but… Riku!” Yuffie yelled almost pushing me to the ground as she ran and jumped on Riku. Riku stumbled but he didn’t fall as he wrapped his arms around Yuffie and hugged her laughing. “Missed you two Yuffie!” Riku said through his laughter… I was dumb founded…
