Probably. But there are a lot of touhous. Only time will tell. Maybe Kairi would get to meet Koishi's sister one day.
"My nails aren't sharp right now." Well, they were sharp. But they weren't claws at the very least.
She glanced up, blinking, tugging Kairi back more toward the center of the rooftop. She glanced up and over. There weren't any vines near the edge right now but they were visible at the end of the street. "Staying here is probably a bad idea."
Probably, yeah. She was having more fun hugging Kairi than actually fighting the plants anyway.
Of course, she was about to head back to the base when she got distracted by a sudden clingy tentacle girl. But at least said tentacle girl did point out that they should probably get moving.
So with a sigh, she turned to head towards the base. She couldn't double jump or glide, but she could jump much higher and further than she should regularly be able to with the keyblade's help, so now it was time to parkour away!
And at the first jump the tentacles would come out again and Kairi would find herself flying. Who cares about gliding and double jumping when you have a clingy little tentacle friend?
Oh, well that helped. It helped a lot actually, and now Kairi had a vague idea of what it might be like to be Sora, only better! Granted she couldn't do it under her own power, but still.
"We're heading back to base for water and rest. Or, I am, anyway. You don't have to rest if you don't want to."
"Okay! I can take you there!" She was still kinda nuzzling the back of Kairi's head. Super affectionate, this one. "I don't mind going. But where is the base?"
Koishi was just kind of flying in a random direction...
At least being up in the air made it really easy to orient herself. Kairi pointed out the correct direction with her keyblade, and decided to just keep directing her towards the base like some sort of living GPS.
And Koishi would follow where Kairi pointed without much issue (though she did seem easily distracted). And she fortunately waited until after she had put the keyblade user down to do a little spin in the air.
"I had lots of fun doing all this. We should stick together, okay?" Looks like Koishi had no intention of leaving Kairi alone just yet (or possibly ever).
"All your mana?" Koishi tilted her head. "Oh no! Here!" she began fumbling in her pockets, pulling out a draw string bag and opening it. She pulled out a piece of candy, offering it to Kairi.
"My sister gives me snacks when I go out so I don't get tired or lonely or hungry. Here! You can have one!"" And the hand-made taffy was shoved into Kairi's hand. "She makes it with a little bit of oni sake so it has some bite to it. But its very little so its just some flavor."
"But something sweet always helps me feel better. Even when my youki is strained and I'm out of mana and starting to starve." She didn't bother elaborating on what any of that meant.
She also didn't leave Kairi's side, clinging again to her shoulders. She was floating so she didn't have any weight but she did have mass. So sudden, fast directional changes would be difficult. Not that it mattered at rest like this.
"I promise, I'm not starving. But thank you." Kairi's interpretation of that was that Youkai, or maybe just Koishi's subspecies, could cast spells straight out of their body's energy if they ran out of regular mana reserves. Which was both theoretically very useful, and also outright terrifying.
She'd have to make certain Koishi didn't do that. Unwrapping the taffy and popping it into her mouth, Kairi stroked the girl's arm gently to reassure her. She made no effort to convince her to leave her shoulders as she grabbed a bottle of water from a cooler and moved to sit down.
[No matter how long he's stuck on this world, the moon's effects are something he'll never get used to. And this cycle, he's been hit hard with the heat.
Loathe as he is to do this, there are only a couple people he can rely on and call for help. Koishi's one of them, so he sends her a text message, hoping she noticed it.]
Koishi? I need your help. It's Iris. Are you available to come over to my place?
It took a bit before Koishi answered, the little youkai fumbling the device as usual before putting it to her ear.
"What? Hello? Yes...? Yes! I can come over!" The same jovial tone as always. "I can come over right now if you want. I'm not doing anything." She was no doubt just floating around. As usual.
"Ohh! Yeah I'll come right away!" The wind on the phone's receiver had already shifted as she changed direction in the air. "I won't be long, okay? You should be more careful and not run out of chroma. That's really bad." It was a gentle scolding.
[It was some deserved scolding, to be fair. Someone like him requires a lot of Chroma, and sometimes his reserves can quickly deplete.
Regardless, he doesn't say anything more, even though the problem is more than just Chroma. He'll just wait on the bed in his bedroom until Koishi arrives.]
Not that he had to wait long. Shortly after she hung up he heard a knock. Not at his door but at his window. As usual the little youkai opted for the most direct route. "Hello! Can I come in?" At least she wasn't getting her fingerprints all over it this time.
[He was expecting the knock on his window, and so leaves the bed when he hears it. The window opens, and Koishi is greeted by a frazzled looking Soundwave, in his avatar, face flushing red.]
Hm. Come in.
[In fact, he'll go ahead and grab her wrist, gently pulling her in for a hug.]
Koishi's smile melted into an expression of concern, and then surprise as she was grabbed. She allowed herself to be pulled in, arms wrapping firmly around his torso, squeezing. Several tendrils slid from her sleeves, winding their way down his waist.
"You're really low, aren't you? That's not good. Not good." There was genuine concern in her tone. "Call me sooner next time, okay?"
[There's no excuse for his low Chroma. He accepts the tendrils moving down his waist, wrapping around him. He isn't sure if it's her intention, but those send a weird shiver down his spine and to his crotch.]
HM... I will. Though it isn't just my Chroma that is the problem.
[As an experiment, he traps one of Koishi's legs between both of his, and then grind once. From there, he gauges her reaction.]
"Well I can sense that. I wasn't going to say anything though since a lot of people are emba- oh!" She clearly wasn't expecting the grab. It was fairly easy to do considering Koishi's habit of floating. Her own cheeks prickled a little bit but she certainly wasn't pulling away.
"Hehe. No dinner and pretty view this time?" She teased.
He should've expected she can sense what' going on in the air, but it is still nice to see she welcomes the grab. Koishi didn't push him away, and that's all he needs to know. His hips grind, using the thigh between his, speed ramping up, and the friction already makes this way too good, thanks to Chroma.
"Unfortunately not." He teases back. "You'll only have me."
Koishi only has a moment to say anything before hungry lips claim her.
She returned the kiss, following his lead and placing her hands on his cheeks. The chroma did feel nice...
"Well. I guess this is fine. As long as you don't mind if I nibble a bit." Fortunately, she didn't bite. Rather, several tentacles were already sliding out of her sleeves to wrap around his back and waist.

[A pause, considering if he should tell her the reason for him calling or not. Ultimately, he does, seeing no harm in letting her know his intent.]
I need Chroma. But aside from needing that, I wish to see you again.
