I couldn't get YouTube to work, but now I downloaded Google Chrome and it's working again. :3
Kairi's eyes found Sora and Riku immediately, the girl taking her seat between them once more. Just like Namine, she had a smaller sofa just to the side of this couch, so she believed her friends would sit there. Then they could all talk about things comfortably...or not, considering the circumstances. Roxas approached the loveseat that seemed to naturally be left open, taking his seat on one of the cushions and leaving the other open for Namine. The aura in the room was thick with tension, which didn't surprise him, but only made the silence heavier.

Sooo... I'm super happy to be listening to piano music again. :3
Kairi walked past her friends and into the living room, where Sora and Riku were waiting. She trusted them to follow in the silence, since they had all met here for a reason. Roxas's eyes left Namine a second after she looked at him, his gaze trailing Kairi for the moment. Once he saw her turn into the living room, he glanced back at Namine before following the redhead. They had some things to discuss.
Yes ma'am. =)
Kairi shut the door and locked it on impulse, aware of what was going on here. Behind her Nathaniel worries, she knew about Smith and that he was back. That scared her just as much, even if he didn't affect her as directly as he did Namine and Roxas; she hadn't forgotten the time he and Carter kidnapped her. Roxas wiped his feet on the rug when he was inside, not bothering to take his shoes off. He let go of Namine's hand then, believing she would like to take off her coat now that they were inside. Even if he didn't need it, he realized she did, so he glanced back at her and would wait patiently for her.
That's right. =)
Kairi lifted her head, her hands leaving her hair. She didn't want to leave Sora's touch, but she did have to answer the door. She pushed herself up, happy to have something distract her. She walked away from the couch and toward the foyer, approaching the front door and opening it to see the two blondes she had already been expecting. "Hey," Kairi greeted softly. "Come on in." Roxas nodded once and kept his hand in Namine's as he stepped inside the house. It was quiet, not that he expected there to be a lot of noise; things were too serious to be doing much of anything else but thinking.
8-ish my time.
Kairi heard Sora's grunt, which only proved her thoughts true. Nathaniel had hurt Sora, which in turn caused her pain as well. She tried to relax under his touch, but didn't move.
Okay. A friend of mine I haven't seen in a few weeks is coming back home tomorrow night, so I was gonna go hang out with her for a little bit then.
Riku nodded once, his sight turning to the floor. He didn't like that he was missing so much of his best friends' lives, especially when things were so life-threatening. He wanted to help now that he was here, but all they could really do was hunt down Smith and destroy him. Riku thought leaving his friends here in New York would be easier for them; he was clearly very, very wrong. Kairi didn't say anything or move, her hands still in her hair. She didn't like hearing Sora talk like that, even if it was the truth. Two people she loved once in her life had fought each other, even if one of them didn't deserve her heart, which was slowly reparing itself after he shattered it to pieces. The fact that he had done the same to Sora's body didn't make her very comfortable either.
When's later, exactly? =/
Riku had glanced at Kairi when she moved forward, but then his eyes went back to Sora when he spoke. He furrowed his eyebrows. "I bet it wasn't easy then either," he said, remembering seeing Sora get caught in the dragon's grasp, which was why he had the broken ribs. "The Darkness must have made him even stronger." Much like what happened to Xehanort's Heartless. Riku remembered the rough spots in his own fight due to the power his enemy had from the Darkness. Kairi bit her lip and closed her eyes at Riku's words, hating to hear anybody talk about Nathaniel, especially when they related him to one thing: Darkness. That was what he was, and she couldn't see that in the past. How couldn't she? It still bothered her that she had been deceived so easily, and even picturing his face sometimes hurt. She had loved him. After all he had done to her, she had loved him.
Goodie. :3
Riku blinked in confusion, his eyes darting to Kairi and then back to Sora. "Wait a second. You mean..." he said, trailing off as he looked to Kairi. The Prince was after the Princess of Heart, which was obviously her. Riku realized then that he had in fact missed out on a lot while he was away, more than he liked. Kairi lowered her head slightly, her hand slipping away from Sora's arm as she leaned forward and pushed her red hair away from her face, her fingers staying in her hair as she leaned her elbows against her knees. Nathaniel was a story she wished could never be told, but it was impossible to completely ignore her past with him.
If you feel too bad let me know; we can stop for a little while.
Riku leaned forward slightly, peering around Kairi to look at his best friend. "Who was that guy anyway?" he asked, referring to Nathaniel. "He was...unusual." He'd never witnessed somebody turning into a dragon before, which was strange. Where was he from, and what significance did he have to Sora? Kairi kept her hand on Sora's arm, her eyes lowering slightly at Riku's question. Unusual was a good word to describe Nathaniel, now that she thought about it. She wished she would have thought about things beforehand, that way she could have avoided getting too close to him.
Aw, that's no good. =/
