Disclaimer- I do own any part of Kingdom Hearts maybe someday I will own something as monumental but unfortunately this is not it. Square Enix and Disney own the rights to any characters you recognize. Anya is an OC based off the physiologists and physiatrists I have had the displeasure of meeting.
Warning- This will contain, mentions of slash, self-harm, drug use, sex, talk of suicide, and this will also be subject to change over time. This will also contain psychological analyzing and my rather biased views of physiologists and physiatrists. Any question about any medical terms or over any information I use PM me and I'll respond as fast as I can, if you leave me a line call me Kate.
Rating- I have rated this T for see warning and swearing; however as of now I write light smut if any there will be romance and denial of sexuality if this is not in your range of interest please try one of my other stories or leave a flame they make reality suck a little less.
Rehabilitation of Hero's-Session 32
Session #32 Patient 4572
"Sora this is our 32nd session and you have yet to open up to me, and even though you are a minor there is doctor-patient confidentiality nothing shared in this room will be given out unless I find you at psychological risk to yourself or others." The blonde woman crossed her legs causing her short black skirt to scrunch up over her dark stockings that ended in 6" navy stiletto heels. She placed her arms over the encased notepad resting on her lap, the page blank, pen clasped in her left hand.
Her eyes were locked on the small brunette boy lying on the couch, who seemed, to have not heard her obvious words of concern. His eyelids opened slowly, crystal blue eyes sweeping the impeccably designed top class room obviously done over by an interior decorator. His eyes paused momentarily on her navy blue designer bag leaning against the prop-like desk on the left side of the room. Meeting her opal green eyes briefly then glancing up and down, her impeccably done makeup to the carefully planned name brand clothes that were set to match even the color scheme of the room.
The crystal globes stopped on the window whose curtains were pulled back, he was one of the three patients that insisted this be done at every appointment. The 5th floor window looked out towards the beach, and in the distance, if one look down at a 63 degree angle, his eyes watched the storm being born as waves crashed down onto the beach harder and harder with the sky growing downtrodden and foreboding.
"Dark or Light, Doctor?"
His sudden question both startled and amused her, "Dark or Light what Sora?" Her voice took on a probing tone that made Sora give a little huff of amusement.
"I never used to think of it like that it was always good or bad, why or why not, pros and cons, now it's Dark or Light. So Doctor is your desire to understand my experiences while I was gone, is it Dark or Light?" When he flicked his eyes towards her face and saw a brief expression of confusion he gave a slightly larger huff of amusement. "The desire to know someone so to be able to help them or become friends is Light; the desire to have information to use it in advantage in surviving or a fight is Dark. As neither is your aim with me I don't know what to classify it as, what a conundrum you are Doctor." At the end his voice adopted a sarcastic version of the first time she had spoken with him.
Slightly exasperated now she spoke again, "Sora my only aim is to help you, help you get back to normal, to be able to attend school as a normal student, to have normal relationships with family and friends, to be a part of this towns society again. To-"
"NO." He snapped upright turning to face her eyes blazing with anger usually only seen in veterans of wars. "Your goal is find out where we went, what happened, tell our families, and then figure out some way to leak it to the town gossip pools because I know for a fact your son attends the local high school and unlike this modern busy city, our island is small and your credit is quite bad however finding out what happened to the local missing kids would be quite the accomplishment." A tense silence spread across the room for a few moments until he rose picked up his backpack and spoke in a must smaller voice, "That ends our session I'll see you for our next session on Saturday, an hour instead have a pleasant day Doctor."
In the time it took her to spin around to say something to the boy her door opened and closed the small boy vanishing out of it without another word.
Session #32 Patient 4573
In comparison to Sora, Kairi was downright talkative, she sat upright and spoke calmly in an even tone speaking about her days back, she vanished for a year and spent the entire time in a coma, she then spent a year readjusting only to vanish again this time only for a few months. Although she kept her memories of the second trip she refused to speak on the topic. If brought up Kairi would swallow deeply and then begin to chatter in a foreign language until the end of the half hour or hour long session. Along with the window being open she refused to allow notes being taken during her sessions. In every session Kairi would tell the good Doctor about what had happened since her last visit, Anya could tell you more about Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie than she could about Kairi and her views on the world.
Kairi's stories seemed more and more like impersonalized observations than actual events. "-and then Selphie told him that if he was so….. Doctor?" Anya glanced up from her lap where her gaze had been locked for the last 25 minutes.
"All three of you do that, call me Doctor, you may call me Anya or Miss Anya if that would make you more comfortable." At Kairi's pointed look Anya sighed and asked what had been bothering her since the end of her last session. "Dark or Light?"
Panic slid across Kairi's face she too gave a sigh before asking softly "Sora? He is so obsessed with finding how people become Hear-. How people go bad, is it through Dark or Light actions or how they respond to the Darkness in their hearts."
"Darkness?"
"Yes everyone has Darkness in their hearts but some hide it so well it's like it's not there at all. Others fall into the Darkness drowning in it losing the Light. Some decisions are quite easy to see as Light or Dark. Gambling, alcohol, prostitution, lying, stealing, killing are easily classified as Dark. Making friends, helping others, acts of kindness without repayment, following a given path, respect, faith, are once more easily classified only this time as Light. But Sora wonders about things like stealing medicine to save a beaten child's life, is that Light or Dark?"
"Can it not simply be both?"
"No, we know better, there is no mixture of Light and Dark; a person may hold both but one is always weighted stronger than the other. And in the end one will win out the Darkness either consumes your heart or you die and your heart joins the Light. So it's a matter of finding out which way a person is before trusting them or caring about them." Kairi's eyes glazed over slightly showing the girl was not planning on continuing her discussion.
"So what are you?"
There was a pregnant pause before she answered slowly "I'm one of the one's who you would think has no Darkness. And before you ask after Sora and Riku I'll tell you, if it were possible to have only Light in a person it would be Sora. Riku is the other exception he is neither Light nor Dark but a sort of Twilight we all thought was impossible to achieve. That's the end of our session I'll see you Saturday Doctor…Anya."
The red headed girl stood and exited the room ignoring Anya's attempts to talk to her. The door snapped shut behind her and a sense of formal closer was placed permanently over the previous topic.
Session #32 Patient 4574
Riku was yet another puzzle with similar edges, windows open, no notes, no talking, relaxed posture; the differences laying in the constant, if minuscule, movements, and the jade eyes locked in front never making eye contact unless another person was present. Normally Anya would get tired of the silence and begin to speak of trivial matters the silver haired boy never degrading himself enough to answer.
Today however was different, Anya had a cracked window in the memory places and she was going to open it all the way if it killed her. "I spoke with Sora and Kairi today, which from your posture I'm going to assume that you are annoyed because I do this before each of your sessions, but today was different. So I have a question your decision to not speak with me about your experiences is that Dark or Light and how are you balancing it?"
And he like the two before him gave an unexpected reaction breaking one of his universal truths he had taught her, he glanced up pupils widened microscopically, he darkened his scowl and spoke carefully in a very gentle cautious tone. "Light, protecting others without excepting anything in return. And how I balance it is none of your damn concern."
"Protecting, hmm, tell me Riku who are you protecting and why do they need the three of you to keep silent in order to keep them safe? Come on you can talk to me this is a safe space, was it a gang, drugs, prostitution, a girlfriend, a distant relative, some crime you saw or committed, give me SOMETHING!?"
She took deep breathes trying to calm her racing heart trying furtively to regain her composure. "I think I can answer Sora's question now you desire to know is Light what you will do with it I don't know, you just want to help. But even if you just want to amend our relationships with our parents or siblings there are many things about all of us that have changed and first you must make them see that."
He waited while she absorbed this information then spoke again "I'll see you for the hour long group session on Saturday and if it helps the window is open but it will shut just as quickly, the question is how far in will we let you before it snaps shut again."
Author's Note- Thank you so much for taking a chance on this I am typing several chapters ahead and will put up a new session on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and a longer group session on Saturdays. I am working with a different more professional writing style so while I do have other Kingdom Hearts stories they are written in a different format and most are on STSASIS until Thanksgiving break where I will have full week to write and release new chapters. If you would leave a review I will probably dance around hyper until my mother yells at me to sit down before I break something. If you leave me a PM feel free to be informal and call me Kate or Miss Kate or ihategoodbyes whatever you choose again may thanks.
Keep Reading and Reviewing
-Kate
