The Beginning of the End
Chapter one- Happily Ever After?
"Honey, it's time for you to get up you need to get to school." I saw my mother's pink hair sway as she left the room. Stretching then rubbing my eyes I proceed to get out of bed. School, ugh my life is such a bore. Everyday the same get up, go to school, hang out on the beach island with my friends, then home for bed and do the same all over the next day. Secretly I yearned for a life of adventure, like the ones my mom and dad always told me about. How dad searched the end of the world looking for mom and uncle and fought off the darkness. Of course, I knew it was all just made up stories they told me when I was little, but I just couldn't help but believe there had to be some truth to it. "MITSUKO! We're not going to call you one more time get down here!" my father yelled for me.
Running to the mirror so I could pull up some of my brown hair to make a half up half down look then clipping it in place with a barrette uncle gave me for my birthday. He said the blue reminded him of my eyes. Which was true, my eyes were a crystal blue just like my parents eyes were. Finally flatting out any unevenness in my uniform I started for the stairs to the kitchen.
"Morning sweetie" My dad said as he proceeded to inhale most of his food. "Slow down Sora! You'll make your self sick!" my mom yelled at him, like every time he seems to have a plate of food in front of him. "Kairi, it's ok I'm a big boy now I think I know how to eat." He made a big doofy grin at her. In a way I couldn't help but giggle, I mean, my dad has always had an innocence about him that could make anyone feel special. "By the way Mitsuko, is there something you want to tell me?" Dad asked between shovels of food. "About what?" I took my place at the table as mom gathered my school bag for me. "Oh I don't know, maybe about a friend of mine looking for me yesterday that must have slipped your mind." SHIT! "Ohh, that friend, is he really your friend? I mean he looked kind of shady. He had a big scare from his forehead down past his nose." I moved my finger along my face to show him where at. "Yes dear, he is an old friend of mine Uncle Riku happened to tell me he was in town so you're off the hook. Did you hear that Kairi, Leon came looking for me." My mothers face became pale, "Mitsuko, I think its time you left for school now." She said. I didn't question so I took my bag and went outside from behind the door I could hear my mom talking to dad though.
"It's not the same Sora, if it's for another journey you can't go. It's not like when we were children we have Mitsuko now. We can't afford to loss you like last time when you…." Her voice trailed off. What was she talking about, what could this shady man Leon want with my dad.
"Hey Mitsuko! Just on time lets hit the rode for school!" My mom's annoying friend Selphie's daughter Akiko, its not that I don't like her, its just sometimes she can get on my nerves in the worst ways. Like right now, when I want to find out what's going on with my mom and dad she just happens to show up and talk right over it while dragging me the opposite way of my house. It also didn't take long for Uncle Riku's son Kenta to show up to. And boy did his name fit him. Kenta means healthy, strong, thick, and big which he was. Kenta was very fit for our age (which is sixteen) and did he have the abs! "What's up ladies, hope you didn't miss me to much." Did I happen to mention that his ego is just as big as his body? "Shut up!" Akiko and me yelled and hit him on the head at the same time. "Kenta, I hope you're not mistreating these girls, are you?" A voice very familiar to me came from behind us. "Uncle Riku!" I yelled as a jumped up to give him a hug tight around his waist. "How's it going kiddo?" he asked as he ruffled his hand in my hair. "Hey, I have something important to talk about with your folks, they inside?" I nodded my head and pointed towards the door, he began to walk towards my house. I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach though. "Uncle Riku?" I called after him he turned to me after he heard my call. "Everything is okay right? I mean there is nothing going on right?" He looked at me like if he didn't really know what to say, shook his head no and proceed to into my house. Okay one word… WIRED! But before I had a chance to run back home Kenta and Akiko gripped my elbows and dragged my toward school.
Almost reaching school like always Kenta was making us laugh with dumb jokes and Akiko telling me about the latest guys she has a crush on. Yet, I couldn't get pasted this wired feeling I was having. WHAM! I was knocked to the ground. "Bet you cant catch up with us Mitsuko!" When I looked up Kenta and Akiko were already way ahead of me. "NO FAIR YOU GUYS PUSHED ME DOWN!" I screamed as ran after them to catch up. But before I knew it I hit something hard and was on the ground again. "Wha…" I looked up and a man in a long black coat with a hood pulled over his face so I couldn't see who it was. "Uhmm, I'm sorry mister I didn't see you there." He slowly looked down at me; it sent chills threw my whole body. As he moved the chains around his hood chimed as they hit. I couldn't see his face because of the hood but I understood one thing; who ever this was, I knew to be afraid. I backed up but he continued to slowly move closer to me.
