D.N.Angel: The return of Dark and Krad.

"It's okay." said kairi, "yeah...I'm ready." Kair walked oer to sota, "thanks agian for last night."

 

Sota turned red. He smiled, avoided eye contact for a sec, then looked into Kairi's eyes, "No problem," he said, a little sheepishly.

 

"well....we should start walking." said Kairi, leting out a laugh as sota's face turned red.

 

"Uh...yeah!" said Sota. He had spaced for a sec. He ran to catch up with Kairi, "So, umm...do you want to hang out after school again?" He felt Dark starting to wake up, "This reeks of deja vu, kid," he yawned.

 

"uh...actually i'm busy today...so sorry." said Kairi she looked at Sota.

 

Sota smiled, then shrugged, "It's okay, maybe this weekend. What are you up to?"

 

"uh....i'm not sure about then." said kairi She looked at the sky.

 

Sota tilted his head slightly, in concern, "Is something wrong?" He looked away, "Are...are you, umm...bored, with my company?"

 

"there is nothing wrong, i enjoy your company...it's just my brother is makeing me do most of the chores around the hose." said Kairi.

 

"Okay. I'm sorry, I should've known better... I'm used to people, mainly at jobs, getting rid of me pretty quickly," Sota sighed in relief, shaking his head slightly, "Do you want some help getting the chores done? I mean, your brother did 'hire' me to help out around the house. Even though I'm working for free, I might as well earn my keep," Sota looked a little bit up towards the sky, a little confused, "...which is nothing, oddly enough..."

 

"I can do them alone." said Kairi, "there is not alot to do...and my brother 'hired' you?"

 

"Sorta," Sota shrugged, "It was just before he collapsed, when we went to the hospital together? He looked like he was having a tough time, so I offered to help. He offered to pay me minimum wages and such, but I told him I'd work for free; my jobs already pay me enough, yadda yadda." Sota shook his head, "It feels like an eternity ago, too..."

 

"okay..." said Kairi, slightly agrivated by her brother. She looked at sota.

 

Sota chuckled a little, "You know, if you think about it, it's kind of funny," Sota looked straight up at the sky.

 

"how is it funny?" said Kairi, She loked at houses they passed by.

 

Sota shook his head, still smiling, "In a way, we kind of owe your brother," Sota looked straight ahead. The school was still pretty small, but starting to come into view, "I didn't start to really get to know you until I saw your brother fall. I never realized how much we had in common until we took him to the hospital, and...well, I don't think I'd ever have realized how much I like you if it hadn't been for those moments." Sota started to blush as he thought about all those moments he spent with Kairi, "Granted, I wish they didn't scare us so much, but...I'm still happy I spent them with you. I'm happier now than I've been in a very long time..." Sota looked at Kairi, smiling.

 

"yeah...now that i think of it, we do owe my brother." said Kairi.

 

"Yeah," Sota smiled, wrapped his arm around Kairi's shoulders, and leaned on her for a sec, "Not that I'd want him to make it a habit of going to the hospital...it's an interesting plan, but I don't think it should be practiced." Sota added, sarcastically.

 

Kairi looked at sota shakeing he head no, "Why would going to the hospial be a habit?" said Kairi.

 

Sota sighed, "I gotta quit being sarcastic; I forget that it doesn't sound like a joke to others..." Sota smiled, then let go of Kairi, "Anyway, my main point is, your brother's got the best intentions for you...so please, don't be mad at him for trying to hire me." Sota reached for Kairi's hand, and intertwined their fingers as he held it.
