Looking Through You're Eyes
Chapter 1: Start of a new day
"I can't believe I have to do this," whined fifteen year old Sora as he looked out to the white mansion before his eyes. Sora turned to his father and sighed. "Why couldn't you send me to military school instead? Why to a place for freaks?"
"Number one, this is not a place for freaks. Its a place for people who are disabled. Number two, you are being sent here becuase you nearly blew up the school and number three, military school is expensive,"
"Hey, it wasn't my fault the experiment turned out bad. Riku put in the wrong chemicals and the next thing I knew, the firemen were there,"
Mr Revene stared at his son with a look that made Sora turn silent for awhile. "Will you quit whining? As punishment, you are going to be coming here for one whole year to pay for the damage on the lab at you're school. It isn't cheap so one year should cover it up," said his father. Sora groaned and leaned back his head on the car seat. He placed his hands on his face and sighed. This year will be hell for sure. How am I supposed to spend my valuable youth in that dump place for one whole stinking year?
"Remember, for one whole year, you will be going to this house and helping out there after school. I don't care what you do as long as you do as the owner says. Now, go inside and be on you're best behaviour. I'll come back later to pick you up," continued Mr Revene.
"Yeah sure. Leave me here while you go have fun with the rest,"
"Its you're fault. Don't worry. You're brother will be there and so will Riku,"
"Roxas?" asked the young brunette. "Why him? He blew up the toilets again?" Mr Revene gave a confused look towards his son and he gave a nervous laugh and rubbed the back of his head with his fingerless gloved hand.
"No, Roxas will be there because he insulted his new substitute teacher by calling her a sexy mama and asked her to kiss his cheek," Sora laughed. "That isn't so bad. I don't see why he should get punished for something minor like that. She must have been young and single for Roxas to say that"
"Because his teacher was a married 45 year old woman and had wrinkles all over her face," Sora made a disgusted face and his father laughed. Sometimes, his twin brother could get a little perverted sometimes. "Wait, where is Roxas? Shouldn't he be here too?" asked Sora while putting his bagstrap over his shoulder.
"He said he had detention. He'll come by later on his skateboard. Now, no more wasting time. Go and try not to cause any more trouble. It would be a miracle if that happened,"
"Fine, fine. See you in like 10 hours,"
"More like 5. Have fun," said Mr Revene and with that, Sora got out of his father's SUV and watched as he drove off down the lonely road. Sora turned towards the mansion and could have sworn he saw a girl, looking out her window in a daydreaming daze. He shook his head and made his way to the entrance. He opened the gold brass doors and stared in amazement.
"This house is so fucking cool! Get out! It even has a fountain in the house!" exclaimed Sora as he neared the fountain. He dipped his hand in the cold water and shivered. It felt nice and wet. He then looked around and noticed there were three floors and had many stairs leading to them. Doors were everywhere and for a certain reason, they were in different colours. A chandelier hung above him and he saw that at his floor were also quite a variety of rooms.
He got out of his daze and made his way to the counter in front. He approached it and saw a brown haired woman writing something down on a few sheets of paper. Sora cleard his throat and the woman looked up at him with her emerald eyes. "Yes, how may I help you?"
"Hi, I'm Sora Revene. I'm here for the volunteer job my dad signed me up for,"
"Oh, you were the boy who flirted with the teacher?"
"No! That's my bro, Roxas. I'm the one who was accused of blowing up my school's lab,"
The woman laughed and typed something in her computer. "Ah yes. Mr Revene. Well, I see that you'll be here for a whole year and you'll be accompanied by you're brother and, umm, Mr Allster here,"
"Oh Riku. Yeah, he's my best friend. He sort of helped me in blowing up the lab,"
"Okay, well, we assign our helpers to a certain patient and be the patients oh so called best friend. This job isn't as easy as it sounds. Our patients are very sensitive and need TLC wherever they go," Sora rolled his eyes. Great, I can't even take care of my goldfish, they expect me to take care of a human being? "So what you're saying is that I just have to spend time with my 'friend' and then I'm good?"
"Umm, well, if you put it like that, yes,"
"Great, who's my patient?"
"Oh, we have a very lucky patient for you. She was very excited when we told her she would be having a new friend soon. The helpers before gave up on her because they just couldn't seem to crack her shell. She won't talk to them much because she says they were just acting like her friends and all," said the woman.
"A she you say. I see. Well, can we go see her now?" asked Sora. He actually liked the idea of spending time with a girl. He was after all, a single fifteen year old. The woman nodded and grabbed a bunch of keys in her drawer. "Oh my, how rude of me. I haven't introduced myself. My name's Miss Aeris Gainsborough but you can call me Aeris," said the woman and shook Sora's hand.
"Nice to meet you. Umm, no offense, but you look to young to be an adult,"
Aeris giggled. "That's because I'm only 17. My parents are on holidays so I have to take care of this house while they're gone. Now, if you would follow me please," and with that, they made their way up the stairs to the second floor and passed by the main hallway. It was pretty long with many rooms aligned there. Sora saw many paintings of certain people. Probably the patients or Aeris's ancestors. "So, tell me more about my 'friend'?" asked Sora.
"Oh, that you have to find out on you're own. I can only tell you one thing though. She is very fragile and you must be careful for she is easily offended and sensitive. She is a cheerful girl. The most cheerful in this house. Her smile can brighten anyone's day,"
Sora thought about it for awhile and his patience of meeting her became thinner. He was eager to find out about this girl. Sora then widened his blue eyes. What if this girl was insane or retarded? I mean, she was in a home for disabled people. And what if she was an ex-killer or murderer? Sora scrunched his face and gave a soft slap to himself. That's the last time I have a ninja movie marathon with Roxas.
"Here we are," said Aeris as they reached a pink door. It was pink all over and had white flowers painted around it. The name 'KAIRI' was bolded in gold and was stuck at the centre of the door. She turned to Sora and gave him a serious look. "Sora, there's something you should know about this girl,"
"What is it?" asked Sora with a worried tone when he saw Aeris's face turn gloomy.
"Well, before she this unfortunate event hit her, she was living a happy life with her sister who is also a patient here and their parents died in a plane crash. These two girls somehow survived and were placed here. Now, I must give you a heads up on something. If she suddenly calls you someone like her father, just play along,"
Sora held back a laugh. "Why? Does she like have a mental problem or something?"
"This is not funny Sora," replied Aeris with a serious tone. "She sometimes goes into a trance and think the people around her are her parents. She was only 6 when they died. It must have been a trauma for her. She won't get over the fact that their dead. Please, if she does this, just play along okay?"
Sora thought about it for a while and nodded. "I guess I have no choice. Can I know what's wrong with her?" Aeris smiled at him and shook her head in disapprovement. "I'm sorry Sora. You'll find out yourself. Now, get ready to meet her okay?" Sora nodded and smartened himself a bit. Aeris didn't even mention her age or her appearance except for her smile. What if it was a 12 year old or something? The spiky haired teen laughed to himself and sighed.
Aeris unlocked the door and opened it. When the pink doors slowly opened, Sora looked inside and gasped. There, by the windowsill was a beautiful girl with shoulder length red flaming hair and clear blue eyes that seemed dull for some reason. She was wearing a pink dress that showed her feminine body and she was smiling to herself for some reason. Sora's jaw dropped as though he was seeing a goddess.
"Kairi? I have a special guest for you," said Aeris. The girl turned around and faced them. "Hello Aeris and who is the special guest?" asked Kairi with her sweet and angelic voice. Well, to Sora it was. Aeris nudged Sora and gestured him to greet her. "Oh yeah, umm, hi Kairi. I'm Sora Revene and I'm you're new friend," Kairi smiled and slowly got up from where she was sitting. She placed a foot in front and stretched her hands a bit further in front of her.
Sora wondered why she did this but he shrugged the thought of as the girl slowly made her way towards him. She was taking her time and she was feeling the floor with her foot everytime she took a step forward. Finally, she was standing in front of him and she stopped. Her hands then made its way towards Sora. She missed at first, grabbing only air, but then, she managed to grab Sora's gloved ones.
"Nice to meet you Sora. My name's Kairi Sodanomi. You're voice sounds so frienly and welcoming. Its a shame I can't see you're face or I could probably see you smiling right now,"
"What are you talking about?" asked Sora in a confused tone. "I'm standing right in front of you,"
Kairi sighed. "You didn't tell him yet Aeris?"
"Well, I wanted him to know by himself,"
"Tell me what? You guys are scaring me here. Tell me what you need to tell me," Kairi sighed and placed her hands by her side. She lowered her head but then looked back up with her dull blue eyes.
"Sora," began Kairi. "I'm blind...,"
