Deep Dreams

"Oh great," I thought, "Three more weeks of summer, and I still haven't finished my homework assignment." I had gone to a deep part of Twilight Town's forest were a certain kind of fruit grew. I liked this fruit and since Mom and Dad were away for the week I had to improvise for dinner. Now on the way back home, I had started thinking about my unfinished homework, "Olete's going to kill me," I said out loud.

So that I wouldn't get lost in the vast forest I made flags and stuck them in the ground. As I came to the first flag, a small light caught the corner of my eye, "What's that?" I said following its glow. What I saw, I didn't think I would see even in my wildest dreams.

"Sora," I whispered getting closer to the limp figure of Sora. How could this be? How could the boy that I'd dreamed about so many times that I knew everything about him be alive right in front of me? Or at least I thought he was alive, "Hey, you okay?" I placed my hand on his back and he groaned and moved his arm little. Good, he was alive but for some reason he was a little damp and I didn't know why. It had rained last night, but how could he have been out here all night? It was here that I made up my mind. I didn't know why Sora was here or how long he'd even been here, but I felt like I was supposed to help him.

I was going to have to carry him so I slung his arms over my shoulders. Even though he was unconscious, Sora was still clutching the giant key he was always carrying. I knew enough about Sora to know that he was the Key Bearer so this didn't surprise me. What did scare me though were the cuts and bruises that ran up and down his arms. They were fresh too, because as I lifted his legs up behind me I accidentally bumped one of the bruises and he gave the slightest jump.

What would have been a 45-minute walk back to Twilight Town Took me two hours while I had Sora with me. He was really heavy and I was constantly stopping to put him down so that I could catch my breath. By the time I got into the tram common it was already dark but I actually didn't mind this because if it was dark that probably meant that everybody would be inside sleeping. I didn't want someone to see me with Sora because I might have had to answer some questions I didn't want to answer, and once they found out how injured Sora was the person might have brought Sora to the hospital. They might've taken him away from me and I wasn't going to let that happen.

I was quickly drawn away from my thoughts y the sudden clatter of the Key Blade falling from Sora's hands. He grunted and I heard the sound of faint footsteps. As I scrambled to get the Key Blade from the ground Sora started moving his arms, and then his legs, "Oh no," I thought, "He's waking up," and it was true, Bit by bit Sora was regaining consciousness. With the footsteps drawing ever nearer I had no choice but to run behind one of the common's many platforms. Sara was moving so much though, that I lost my grip on him and dropped him. Luckily we were already behind the platform and all I had to do was pull him against the wall.

As the person I knew was right around the corner came closer Sora started stirring and said a sleepy, "Where am I?"

"No Sora be quiet," I said trying to calm him down, but he wouldn't comply.

"Who are you?" he said even louder than he had said the other thing. I had to keep him quiet so I did the only thing I could think of.

I wrapped my right arm around his waist to hold his hands down and clamped my left hand over his mouth hopping that he wouldn't struggle too much. I was wrong though. Sora put up such a fight that it took all of my strength just to keep him still.

When the footsteps had passed I finally released Sora and he fell to the ground, heaving. He must have been really weak right now. I hadn't broken a lot of sweat trying to restrain him, but now Sora looked like he was about to pass out, and he did. He was on his knees one second and collapsing to the ground the next. He fell so fast that I didn't even have a chance to catch him.

"Sora," I said in a concerned whisper. As I placed my hand on his side I could feel his almost useless attempts to take in oxygen, "Don't worry Sora, we're almost home." I walked the rest of the way without stopping to put Sora down once, not counting when I got to the stairs and had to briefly lean him against the banister to check and see that everyone in my complex was in their room asleep. When I saw that the coast was clear, I went back to got Sora. I fumbled with the knob to get us inside where Sora would be safe and where there would be no risk of anyone seeing him.

Once I got into the house and my room I dropped Sora onto the bed, "What do I do? What do I do?" were my first thoughts. Then I remembered that Sora was still wet and that I had to get the clothes he was wearing off of him right then or he would catch pneumonia. After a long time of rummaging through my closet, I finally found a pair of pajamas that would fit him. It was a few minutes before I got Sora situated in my clothes. I took his wet ones and put them on the hanger on the wall so that they could dry.

Then I brought the thin sheet I usually used up to him and realized that it probably wasn't going to keep him warm enough. I got the big comforter that I usually used in the winter out from under the bed. I put it on the bed and started smoothing out all of the wrinkles from almost a year of no use. I sighed and sat at the edge of the bed as anxiety tested my stomach. I just didn't understand, to think that this boy who wasn't even conscious held all of my answers.

"Riku," he mumbled. Sora was talking in his sleep, "Why, why…" Now I went to the other side of the room not wanting to hear anything private of Sora's. I curled up in the soft chair that was in the corner and soon fell asleep.

I woke with a start, forgetting why I was sleeping in a chair, but then I remembered about Sora and looked over to where he was laying. He hadn't moved an inch last night and was still in the same place that I'd left him. Getting out of the chair I stretched and looked at the clock. It was 7:00 AM, the time I'd promised the guys I'd meet them. I felt kind of reluctant about leaving Sora here by himself.

"I guess I can leave you alone for a little while," I said straitening out my disheveled clothes. I didn't bother changing them. Then I went over to the door and opened it. I left without looking at Sora again because I knew that if I did I would've changed my mind about leaving.

I ran to the back alley, The Usual Spot, where Hayner, Pence, Olete and I hang out, where I said I was going to meet them. When I got there everyone was just sitting around talking.

I sat down not saying anything to anyone when Hayner said, "Aren't you going to say hi?"

"Oh, sorry," I said plastering a smile onto my face. I really didn't want to be here, "So what's up?"

"Well we couldn't figure out anything to do," said Olete.

"So I guess we could just hang out here," said Pence.

"Hey we can still have fun here," said Hayner, although I could see that he really wanted to get out and do something. I stayed here for a while, talking about everything that came to mind and then playing some board games. It got to be about 1:00 PM and I knew I had to get back to Sora.

"Yeah, I have to go," I said heading for the exit.

"And where are you off to in such a hurry," Hayner said with that little hint of impertinence he always carried.

"Well," I said the first thing that came to my mind, "I promised my mom I'd be at home between 1:00 and 3:00 so that she could call me and make sure I hadn't gotten into any trouble." I was actually almost telling the truth. My mom had told me to be home so that she could call but it was between 4:00 and 7:00.

I almost thought he wasn't going to believe me but Hayner finally said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

"Yeah," I said waving at the others and rushing out. I went down Market Street to get some supplies for the house, and then I made my way back home. When I got to the front door to my room I stopped. I didn't know what I would see on the other side. I was afraid that it was going to be something bad, but was relieved when I saw Sora sleeping peacefully on his side. This was good since he had actually moved since I'd left him.

Since Sora was doing okay, I decided to go to the room that my parents slept in. I sat down on the bed and felt the soft, cushiony blankets. This would be perfect to sleep in tonight. I got up and spent the rest of the day listening to the radio and popping in on Sora every now and then. When night came I got the pair of pajamas I normally wore and before I went to bed checked Sora one more time. He was doing okay so I didn't have any anxiety tonight as I slowly fell asleep in my parent's luxurious king sized bed.

To Be Continued...
