Fast Food Madness: The Epic Return V2

Kairi moved her other hand to her coat once Sora let go, starting to put it on. She slipped one arm through before doing the same with the other, then proceeding to button it and tie it at the waist. Once that was done, she tugged at the sleeves and looked up at Sora, nodding to let him know she was ready.

 

Sora nodded once, seeing that Kairi was ready to go. "How about a piggy-back ride?" he asked, his tone light so that he was putting a more positive spin on things. "It's been a while since I gave you one of those." He couldn't recall the last time that he had done such a thing for her, and it actually made him a little sad to think about it. However, he wasn't going to think about that now.

 

Kairi tilted her head to the side slightly, though that didn't help the slight dizziness. "You sure?" she asked, remembering the battle he went through yesterday. What about his injuries? She didn't want him to be in pain because of her...

 

"Yup," Sora said with a nod, keeping the same optimism in his voice. He knew Kairi was concerned about his injuries, but he could put up with some extra soreness if it meant getting Kairi home where she could relax. It was something that he wanted to do, and surely Kairi knew that once he made up his mind, it couldn't be changed.

 

Kairi smiled softly, hearing the light tone of Sora's voice and seeing in his eyes that he really didn't mind. "Alright," she replied. She might as well; it's not like she could walk very far anyway.

 

Sora turned around, getting into a position so that Kairi could get on his back. "Ready," he said, bracing himself for the pain that he would surely feel when she put her weight on him. However, he didn't mind; he was willing to go through much more pain than what he was about to feel for Kairi's sake.

 

Kairi took a small step forward and put her hands on Sora's shoulders lightly. Then she gave a little hop and was on his back, her feet no longer on the ground.

 

Sora held back a grunt, his hands getting a grip on Kairi's legs before he fully rose to his feet. "All set?" he asked her, trying to keep the strain out of his voice so that she didn't know he was in pain. His ribs were hurting, along with his injured shoulder. But he was going to tune it out, no matter what happened.

 

"Yeah," Kairi said, nodding a little as she looked at Sora. She felt bad for doing this to him, knowing she was causing him pain, even if he didn't show it; she'd known him since they were kids, so it was easy for her to recognize these kinds of things.

 

Sora nodded slightly shifting his gaze forward as he exited his bedroom with Kairi on his back. He started down the hall, the sounds from the television getting louder as they came into the living room, where his best friend was still watching some program.

 

When they entered the living room, Kairi instantly recognized how empty it was. She didn't realize that Namine and Roxas already left until now. But she did meet Riku's gaze immediately. She lifted her hand off of Sora's shoulder a little, wiggling her fingers in a small wave. "Bye, Riku," she said softly.

"See ya, Kairi. Feel better," Riku said, following her form as Sora walked with her through the room. Hopefully once she got some rest, she'd feel like herself again.

 

Sora nodded slightly to Riku, that being the farewell he gave to his friend. He walked through the doorway into the entrance hall, approaching the front door. How was he supposed to get that open, anyway?

 

Kairi looked forward and over Sora's spiky hair to watch where he was taking her, her hand coming back to rest lightly on his shoulder. She just wanted to get home and relax; it had been constant worry and fear the last couple days. And now she was weak and exhausted. Kairi just wanted things to be normal again.

 

About twenty minutes later, Sora saw that he was approaching Kairi's home. He shifted his grip on Kairi a little, though he kept his hold on her light so that she wasn't uncomfortable. The walk to her house had been quiet, neither of them feeling the need to speak about anything.

 

Kairi glanced away from the back of Sora's head to see her house, her form relaxing a little even as Sora shifted his grip on her legs. She felt bad that he had to carry her all the way here, but it would have only been worse if she tried walking on her own. As hard as it was for her to accept that, she did. But Kairi was relieved to see her home all the same, because it not only meant she could rest, but Sora could as well; carrying her obviously wasn't easy after yesterday.

 

You two are awesome writers keep it up and i really like it how you keep in sync with eachother. Keep writing!

 

"You didn't fall asleep on me, did ya?" Sora joked lightly, approaching Kairi's home and stepping onto the porch. He honestly didn't know if she was awake or not, which was why even with his joke, his voice had been quiet enough not to wake her if she really was unconscious.

 

Kairi smiled slightly, leaning her head forward a little to be closer to Sora. "No. I didn't," she told him as she peeked over his shoulder at him, proving it by speaking alone. She appreciated the fact that he was being light with her, something the old Sora would do.

 

"That's good, 'cause there's no way I can get into your house now," Sora said sheepishly, stopping in front of the door and looking over his shoulder to Kairi. Not only did he not have a key to her home, but he couldn't hold her and open the door at the same time, anyway.

 

Kairi managed to have a small giggle escape her, the girl's smile growing at the action. "Okay. Put me down, silly," she said, wishing that they could be goofy like this without either of them suffering from some side-effect of the Dark Realm. Eventually, Kairi. Eventually.
