Some things belonging to shadows
By: Sissy
Chapter 1
We live in a horrible world. Nothing we do can change that. Everywhere you go, you see murders, rapes, kidnappings, sadists and the whole other stuff that make this world be as corrupted as it is nowadays. Cops don't help. They're as corrupted as the politicians that run this place. But what can we do? We're just kids, they say. Those things are stuff only adults can take care of, they say. I say screw them. Then they say we're rebellious when they won't even accept how they themselves act. So then… What are we supposed to do?
"Sora?" a voice drove him out of his thoughts and made him stop writing in the little notebook, which was his 'mind' and medicine for his sanity.
"What is it Wakka?" Sora asked, looking at the boy who had bothered him but considered his friend.
"They said you can leave today." Wakka told him and he nodded.
Sora was used to being thrown in the mental institute whenever he got a bit irritated and began destroying everything. He called that monster, that came out whenever he lost control over his emotions; 'Shadow'. Wakka didn't know why, but he never asked him, knowing it was a very private question to ask of Sora.
As they left the mental institute, Wakka remembered something.
"Did you know we're moving back to Destiny Islands?" Wakka asked, knowing that was Sora's favorite subject and could get him very quickly to his normal moods.
"Really?" Sora's mood lightens up and he was giving his usual genki smiles.
"Yes. We'll be moving in two days. So I suggest you start packing and giving goodbyes to everyone, okay?" Wakka asked and Sora nodded before he began humming.
'This is good. If Sora goes to Destiny Islands he'll be back to normal and maybe Shadow will disappear.' Wakka thought giving off a vague smile.
"Maybe. Maybe not." Wakka heard a voice in his head that made him fall to the ground.
"Wakka? Are you okay?" Sora asked, worried about his long time friend.
"Yeah, I'm all right." Wakka got up and they continued to leave.
Wakka never bothered to think if that had been Shadow. Because he already knew it was.
"We're home!" Wakka opened the door to their little apartment where a young man greeted them by hugging to death Sora.
"Sora!!! How've you been? Did they treat you alright? You seem fine. You want something to eat? I bet their food must be very bad. What do you want? Should I make some sandwiches?" he talked a lot, showing he cared deeply for the boy.
"I'm okay Tidus. But what happened? You seem anxious." Sora was confused.
"You didn't tell him?" Tidus looked at Wakka, who slapped himself in the face.
"Yes and no." Wakka said and Tidus raised and eyebrow, "Yes, I did tell him we were moving and, no, I didn't tell him about Kairi."
"Kairi? What about Kairi?" Sora asked, looking down at Tidus, who still was hugging Sora but by the waist now.
"She's got a b-friend." Tidus said, looking at Sora very seriously.
"Oh…" Sora looked sadly to the floor as Wakka left for his room. Part of the reason he was looking forward to moving back to the islands was Kairi.
"It's alright… Don't look so down. You know you still have me and Wakka." Tidus smiled as he gave Sora a kiss on his forehead.
"Thanks." Sora blushed a little as the door opened once more, revealing a teen, a bit older than them, that looked completely wasted and tired.
"Hey Auron!" Tidus waved at the boy, who looked shocked at them.
Auron vision (after too much work): Tidus, hugging Sora. Tidus, hugging Sora by the neck. Tidus, hugging Sora by the neck and waving at me. All of this equals…
"Tidus! When did you and Sora get together?!" Auron yells surprised, making the boys blush.
"You idiot! It's not like that!" Tidus hits Auron on the head.
"Auron, Tidus would never cheat on you. You know that." Sora told him.
"Yeah. But you guys are moving." Auron slumped on the nearby couch.
"Oh. But aren't you coming with us?" Sora asked, confused.
"Look kid. You're an a-okay friend on my terms and I like you all staying here, but Tidus and Wakka were the ones assigned to keep you safe. Not me. I have no reason to go back to the islands." Auron said, turning on a smoke, but Tidus took it from him and turned it off, tears in his eyes.
"Don't I matter for anything?!" Tidus yelled before running off into his room.
"Did you do that on purpose?" Sora asked but Auron just light up another cigarette.
Sora said nothing more and went to take a bath before going to sleep.
The next day, Sora had begun to pack his stuff, as well as Wakka and Tidus. Wakka had been silent for a while, and kept watching his cell phone.
"Is something wrong Wakka?" Sora asked, after Wakka watched his cell phone for the ninth time.
"Huh? Oh. It's nothing. Just waiting for a phone call." Wakka gave a smile to Sora, "By the way, Tidus? Did you and Auron get a chance to talk yet?" Wakka asked, looking at Tidus now.
"No. And I don't want to talk about it." Tidus said, roughly packing his stuff.
"…" Sora wanted to say something but remained quiet. He had seen Auron last night trying to work on his laptop, but couldn't. Sora noted he was murmuring something about Tidus, while crying.
… …
"What should we do today?" Sora asked after they had finished packing.
"We could go shopping. Get some souvenirs for Selphie and Yuffie." Tidus suggested.
"Yay! Shopping!" Sora cheered and Wakka's cell phone rang with a ring tone of an old telephone.
"I'll be back!" Wakka ran into his room, which he shared with Sora, and didn't come out until a little later.
"What happened?" Tidus asked, worried about his friend.
"I wont go shopping with you guys, I have to take care of something." Wakka said before he left the apartment.
"O…kay… Should we leave then?" Tidus asked and Sora nodded.
They left the apartment and did some shopping around. Tidus had managed to calm down about the issue of Auron and was having a good time. Sora was being calm and his usual genki self, much to Tidus relief.
It was around 10:44 that Sora and Tidus arrived back to he apartment. They were surprised to see Wakka and Auron talking. And as soon as Wakka saw them he began questioning them where they had been.
"Newsflash! Don't you remember when I suggested we go shopping and when you yourself said you couldn't go because you had something to do?" Tidus asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Right. Anyway, I have something important to talk with you guys." Wakka said as he motioned them to sit down on the other sofa while he sat next to Auron.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Sora asked, worried where this was going to go.
"Don't worry too much Sora. I just needed to tell you guys that I can't go back with you two to Destiny Islands." Wakka said and received the reaction he was expecting from Sora.
"What?! Why?! What happened?! What do you mean you can't come back with us?! Who will be Tidus's partner and keep me out of trouble?!" Sora went on and on about how unfair Wakka was being.
"Calm down Sora." Wakka managed to shut him up, "Yes, I'm not going. The council decided I should stay here for a reason I had told them (blushing as he said that). Don't worry about the new partner of Tidus. It's Auron. I spoke with him today." With that Tidus began to throw a fit about how Wakka should've spoken with him first.
"Tidus shut up." Auron stood up and dragged Tidus to his room.
"So you're really not going with us?" Sora asked, with a sad look in his face.
"Don't worry. You'll be okay. As long as Tidus is there, I won't have anything to worry about." Wakka smiled at Sora and petted him.
"Okay. But, are you going to stay with that woman you met?" Sora asked.
"Yes. I have to take care of her. But don't call her a woman, she's younger than us." Wakka told him and Sora nodded.
… … …
The morning came when they had to leave.
"You make sure Sora keeps eating alright?" Wakka told Auron, who nodded.
"You're Lulu, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Sora." Sora greeted the girl who had accompanied Wakka and them to the airport.
"Nice to meet you Sora. Wakka talks a lot about you." Lulu smiled at Sora.
"Wakka's mean. He never told me about you." Tidus pouted, angry his friend never told him anything.
"That's because I caught them in the act once." Sora smiled and laughed.
"I see…" Tidus made some sense as to what Sora just said when they heard their flight being called.
"Well, see you Wakka." Sora waved Wakka goodbye as the tree of them left.
"See ya. Take care of yourself." Wakka waved them goodbye.
As they got on the plane and into the skies, Sora grew silent. He wanted to know whom it was that had taken Kairi's heart and become her boyfriend.
Without any other thought, he went to sleep.
TBC…

Sissy: This is a little test I'm doing. If anyone likes this it will continue.
Kody: Although, I bet everyone's confused about Sora a little.
Aoi: [jumps on Kody] But don't worry! As soon as Sora meets Kairi on the islands everything will be revealed!
Amy: Even though we know who Kairi's boyfriend is, we just want you all to know that this is a Sora/Riku fic. and that we detest Kairi.
Kody: Well said woman.
Ryu: And that's my woman!
Sissy: Anyhow, KH is not ours and neither are any of the FF characters.
Aoi: Fell free to review, 'cause as soon as some people know about this they'll come to kill Sissy.
