"Would you be my girlfriend now?"
Really, Sora laughed at Kai's question. She could not help but remember when be playfully asked her to be couples that earned him a hit from her. She can't believe that this time he was serious, and he has absolutely every reason to be.
Of course, her accepting his kisses was a sign of agreement to his confession - which she does accept - and that he has a point in asking her that. Though he was blunt and shameless in saying so, not even considering the embarrassment she might be feeling - and giddiness too - by his bland tone.
She hit him softly on his arms with a blush, and Kai smiled softly as he hugged her waist. To him, he can't really believe she accepted him. She hadn't said it loudly like him, but he knows she feels the same by his kiss, and the fact she did not hit him - hardly on his stomach, not his arm - Kai was overjoyed. He didn't even think about Baekhyun, the guy needs to step down of his ego ladder and accept they will be sharing. But no! He wants her all for himself or nothing at all. Well fine, he can wallow in his own self pity while he enjoys his moments with her.
"So? Your answer?" He mumbled in her hair, and Sora pulled a thinking face as she wrapped his arms around him as well.
"Only if you go with me to the human teacher's house for inspection." Kai let out a mocking laugh, reaching his hands to pinch her in her back softly, earning an equal laugh like his, hers is more tender and soft than sarcastic.
"I thought Suho Hyung doesn't want you to go there," he muttered lazily, already relaxing in her arms. His music player was on shuffle so there was another song played in the background with a booming voice. Sora snuggled into Kai's embrace, rolling her eyes at his words secretly before muttering.
"Suho doesn't need to know," Kai let go of her, putting two steps distance between them as he hurriedly shook his head. Sora squinted her eyes; wondering why the hell these feelings of fear and anxiety spread into her from Kai. It's not like Suho would do anything if he found out they escaped. It's Suho! He is probably the most kind person she would ever meet - though he has his downside - he still wouldn't go all narcissistic on them would he?
"Tsk~ you don't know him, he would skin us alive. Okay maybe not you; but definitely me!" Sora giggled softly at Kai's outburst - that was mixed with frustration and slight nervousness - and patted him like a dog pet on his head with an innocent smile.
"Now, now Kai. I will make sure he wouldn't hurt you~"
Kai stared at her emotionlessly for a whole minute, thinking if he should listen to what she says or not. For starter; Suho might listen to her if she convinced him enough that they are innocent, or she can use her beauty to charm him. But then again; there is no chance she would actually go this far, which would leave the first choice. Now if he only had the best luck; he would have gone with her, but Kai knows something would end up terribly wrong if he agreed. Which made him now shake his head with a stubborn pout.
"Nope, no, nah, not leaving. We are staying here! And that's final!" It's not like Sora would listen to him, maybe just now to convince him so he would leave her alone, and then she would sneak out and take someone with her.
Suho wouldn't know what hit him.

"We need to do something,"
Sora froze on the stairs when she heard Suho's serious voice echo in the entire kitchen. She had acknowledged the tension in the air; and she was sure most of the boys had already knew of her presence walking. That however; did not cause Suho to stop talking, meaning she was good to join.
Sitting on a chair - that was in between Suho and Kris - She craned her neck in hopes of seeing the leader better. Suho spared her only one glance, before staring back at the place she emerged from. It was obvious he was waiting for Kai to come, who told her he would turn off the songs and be with her in a minute.
Ah, there he is. He came jogging towards them, put on a soft apologetic smile before seating himself beside Kris on the other side - he totally ignored Kris's scowl directed to him - before grinning cheekily at Sora, not even minding the tensed atmosphere around him.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked, crossing her arms on top of the table before resting her face on them. Kai mimicked her movement, except he was facing her with a grin. Sora rolled her eyes at his childish acts, but she still bear a small smile.
"The elders, they don't want to make any action towards those cults," Chanyeol bitterly replied at her, having a huge scowl on his face. Sora turned her head to look at him with furrowed eyebrows, and he directed his heavy scowl at her, forgetting momentarily about the fact she is Sora and not some s power-seekers.
Sora didn't really mind, she knows he didn't really mean that scowl for her. He was just imagining her as them, and she was a little bit intimidated he had this amount of hatred to them. But then again, they have killed his brother's families, even Sora was at rage with them.
"I don't understand why they refuse to do such a thing. I mean, they are the rulers, if they didn't do any mandatory actions against them; then who would?" Kris sighed from beside Suho, and Sora had never seen him show such distress in his face before. He has always been -faced, but now he looked like the entire weight of responsibility had finally affected him, or he was simply just too good at hiding it before.
"Why don't we do something about it instead?" Sora's question was really innocent, but it had sparked such a hateful aura around her supposed to be lovers that she flinched at the sudden change. Some of them had glared at her, some only glared at their fingers - Baekhyun was the only one staring at the wall blankly, Sora didn't even know he was with them until his orb inside her shook - she stared at them hastily, and Suho finally sighed and told her about their sudden burst of emotions.
"We have absolutely no authority over their commands. When they say something, we all obey. Well; except when we rule, than our commands are listened to," he dropped his head on the table, forehead palming the sleek surface of the wood. Sora stared at him worriedly. He seemed quite exhausted; unlike all of his brothers, and she wondered if the elders were being too hard on him again.
"Well why don't we just...rule?" Sora was surprised at herself. She had included herself in the ruling, and the thought made her heart increase. She gulped softly, thinking that she is quite ready to rule. Sure she hasn't learned all of her powers - there was a lesson at bay - but she thinks she can bear the responsibility even better than the elders - those cold, vicious creatures - especially when she has the twelve royals by her side.
Suho lifted his head from the table. Luhan scoffed loudly - it was slightly unattractive, his nose flared and his eyes rolled - but he didn't care. Chanyeol's eyes turned wide like eggs. Sehun coughed loudly - he was drinking water after all, and choking is what happened to him - the others had similar shocked expressions, and Sora had second thoughts about her statement.
"We can't just rule!! They have to give it to us when they are ready." Sehun said, his eyes are now similar to Chanyeol's.
"Then we make them agree. I mean you guys are already old enough to be ruling, how many time would pass until they decide they are ready? Have you ever thought of that? With you ruling, we can actually do something about the cult without any interruptions from them!" Her words actually made sense to them, as the gears in their heads started rolling at the possibilities. Yeah as she said, they can make better decisions than them, they can make good judgements and actually care much more about people. Ever since the current royals are lead, they have changed a lot of rules from the previous generations, and the kids are bound to return everything back to its glory. They can at least return the human knowledge back to their grounds, they can be highly intelligent like them and not just powerful. Power usually don't solve everything!
", i'm in." Surprisingly, Baekhyun was the first one to agree. He relaxed visibly in his chair, one of his feet draped casually on the table. Sora stared at him for a second, taking in his appearance. His eyes were still tired, eye bags visible under them. His attire was slightly messy, like he haven't been paying any attention to what he dresses. His black hair was slightly brownish, indicating the dirt in his locks. Why was he not taking care of himself? Why did he seem so careless and so ing exhausted all the time?
Baekhyun turned to look at her with a bored look. He had noticed she was looking at him, and he didn't even want to show her just how much affect that single stare of hers was giving him. Sora stared away, looking back at Kris who nodded softly at her, as if confirming he too; would go along with her.
Soon, the entire boys were nodding their heads, and Sora didn't even know it was that easy to change their minds.
