Look, I was just going to stick with little fandoms, y'know, The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy III, and then I played KH2 again. Um. I don't really wanna talk about it. -blush-
Warnings: Gore? Spoilers for COM? Do we still warn for that?
Pairings: None! It's gen! For chapter one, anyway.
Rating: PG?
Notes: I'm sure someone else has done a better job of writing Sora's mom (and if anyone wants to rec it, that'd be awesome) but here's another "What did she do when Namine's spell wore off?"
---
Keiko Masaki knows she has forgotten something important. It nags at the back of her mind, gnawing at her thoughts, and disrupting her ideas.
It has something to do with Kairi, the nice girl who stops by sometimes just to say hello.
They had something in common, once, Keiko thinks, even if she can't remember what it was or why a single mother would bond with the mayor's daughter.
Keiko is a mother, she realizes abruptly.
She nearly loses her thumb slicing vegetables. The knife goes in, the knife comes out, she notes with sick fascination. There is blood all over the celery before it occurs to her to bandage her thumb. Keiko washes the wound, ignoring the sting and burn that quickly move toward agonizing as she comes back to Earth.
I have a son, she thinks. I have a son, and I forgot about him.
Keiko dries her thumb, bloodying a towel, and not caring, then tapes it. It's a trick her mother taught her, instead of stitches use strong tape. She's careful not to get it too tight, and she wonders how she could have forgotten on only a year of her son -- Sora? Yes, Sora. God, she forgot his name. -- being gone.
