No Worries
Sora, Honey, I miss you.
I walked to my kitchen sink and filled a glass with water. The sky threatened to spill, and drown my lilacs and chrysanthemums. I sat down in my chair to eat my breakfast but I could only stare at the empty seat across from me.
"I hope you come back soon, Sora. It's been almost a year since you vanished," she sighed, "you're absence has caused me to start talking to myself."
I stuck bacon into my mouth savoring it taste. "And since you're not here, more for me!"
…
It was very peculiar that she wasn't pacing back and forth, worrying about her son. His care-free-ness must've rubbed off her. Hey, she was a cool mom. Cool mom's have no worries, not even for their teenage son who suddenly vanished.
Her thought wandered to when she went to the Destiny Island Police Department while she stirred her coffee. She wasn't at all surprised when she saw the mayor and Riku's father there too. Kairi and Riku, of course, had vanished along with Sora, leaving no trace whatsoever.
The police had asked a few questions, how old, eye color, height, etc. etc.
…
"Ma'am, for the record, what's your son's name?"
"Meirou Sora."
"When was the last time you saw Sora?"
"Yesterday, at about sunset. He had come back from the other island early because of the storm."
"Ah, yes. That storm was dreadful. Anyway, what were your thoughts when you found out he was gone? Can you tell me exactly what happened?"
I smiled and stifled a giggle. The police looked at me quizzically. I bet anyone would. Losing your only son is not a laughing matter. I cleared my throat and shut my eyes, taking a deep breath to calm down.
"Well, I was calling him for dinner." I pouted. "I even made his favorite! And he repays me by running away. That mac and cheese was good."
"Yes, continue," he said while jotting down notes and drinking some of his tea.
"Then I run up to his room, not knocking, even though he may be stripping—"
The man choked on his tea, coughing a fit.
"I mean changing…but he must've been stripping! I mean, when I first go into his room I notice the windows open. And his shorts and shirt is lying on the floor. Just lying there! And my first thought it: Oh my gosh! My son's streaking throughout Destiny Islands! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!"
I looked up and straightened my face. "Then I called the mayor and asked if he was over. He said he was just about to call me if Kairi was at our place. Then we called Riku's father to ask if they were there, and they weren't!"
"Yes. Okay, do you know of any rivals your son may have had."
I took a deep breath and continued. "Well, Tidus and Wakka usually duel with Sora and he usually wins but I can only say that his true rival was Riku."
The police began to write Riku's name, then I added, "But, they're best friends too. They just like being competitive."
"Like over what?"
"Like racing, dueling, Kairi—" The man stopped me.
"Kairi?"
"Yes. They both like her, but I believe Kairi likes Sora more."
He began writing again and told me to continue with my story. "Well, I asked the mayor if he could escort me to Tidus's, Wakka's and Selphie's. Tidus told us that he had seen them earlier and Wakka said he had dueled with Sora. Wakka was holding a large ice pack to his head. Selphie was the only one with the details," I laughed, "she's a hopeless romantic that one. Anyway she told us that they had been building a raft. They had also been talking about traveling together to see new worlds. I can't imagine how far they can get with a raft."
"Was their any signs of the raft?"
I thought back. "I believe after talking to Selphie, the storm picked up, and if we didn't hurry we wouldn't be able to row back to the mainland. When I went to the island the next day, the raft was in ruins."
"That means that your son didn't leave with his previous plans." He began to stack his notes in a clean pile and got up.
"Thank you Mrs. Meirou. I'll call if we find anything."
"Thank you."
…
"You have caused me to humiliate myself, Sora." I pouted and finished the rest of my breakfast, sticking more bacon into my mouth. Then I remembered—its Friday.
Darn chores.
end.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts. Doi.
Note: Mitsukaii and I were wondering whatever happened to Sora's parents. Tetsuya Nomura never gave any specific details as to what happened. The only thing they give you is that Sora's mother was calling him for dinner. I remember how funny it was to me when I saw a shirt and shorts lying on Sora's floor. My first thought was that he was naked. Hah.
I'm not sure if you get the end so I'll just tell you. It's Friday and that means chores and since Sora is gone, Sora's mother has to do it all by her lonesome self. She can't order Sora to do it because he's not there!
I don't really know if the police asks you those types of questions. This was all based on my knowledge from the crime type shows I watch. Hah.
More Notes: I have decided to make a collection of one-shots, so Birthday Wishes was the first, and No Worries is the second. Stay tuned for the third addition.
