You're Eyes
Sora's P.O.V
Sora slipped on his black and yellow shoes as he watched Aladdin slouch against the broken brick wall, eaten an apple while gazing off towards the Palace. Sora shook his head at his friend.
"I don't know why you look towards that place every day. It's pointless and honestly I don't know what you see in it. Including the people inside."
Aladdin looked towards Sora upset. "They have everything! A beautiful home, servants, food and lots of it! Not to mention all the gold! Their life is paradise."
Sora grabbed the black sack and threw it onto his back. "Exactly my point Aladdin, they HAVE everything so they leave us with nothing. They HAVE a home that mind you was given to them. We had to find one and barely even found this place. We have no one to tend to our needs and we have to scavenge to eat for even a week. We are pissing poor due to the true scums of the earth and that's the Palace and its inhabitants." Sora walked over to the window ready to Precision Jump from the window to the roof of a building across the window.
Aladdin sighed. "When are you going to let the past go? She was just a kid."
Sora stood on the windowsill and looked back towards Aladdin. "So was I." Sora turned back around and jumped towards the edge of the roof of the building across the "home" and landing perfectly on the edge and broke into a sprint. Ahead Sora vaulted over one of the fences that barred the edge of one of the roofs and fell to the ground. When Sora's toes touched the ground he quickly went into a dodge roll and stood up not even out of breath and began walking with the other citizens of the city throughout the market.
Kairi's P.O.V
Kairi walked throughout the Palace's courtyard looking for an exit. She looked over her shoulder to see her father talking to one of the Palace's guard. Kairi looked over to the Palace Gates to see them opening to let a Merchant Man exit the yard with 'poor' clothes towards the 'outside'. Kairi found her opportunity and it was perfect. She quickly strode over to the Merchant.
"Excuse me, Sir?"
The Merchant looked towards the girl and quickly bowed his head. "M-My Princess!"
Kairi shook her hand towards the Merchant Man. "No need for that. Um, I was wondering if I could take some of those clothes off of your hands."
"M-My Princess? Why would you want these clothes when you have such beautiful clothing?"
Kairi smiled at the Merchant. "I want to show my respect for the people outside my City's walls."
The Merchant once again bowed his head at Kairi. "Oh that's so very kind of you! I knew you were always one for the people my Princess!" Kairi smiled as the Merchant Man gave Kairi a Pink t-shirt that had holes in it, with blue worn down and torn skinny jeans along with Pink Converse Sneakers where the soles of the shoes were worn down and the color were fading. "Would you like some help with those?" The Merchant nodded and Kairi walked outside the walls with the Merchant. When they were outside the Palace the Merchant thanked the Princess and walked off with the clothes. Kairi smiled and closed the Palace doors behind her. She was now outside the Palace. Kairi quickly ran into an Alley and changed into the clothing the Merchant Man gave her. When Kairi was dressed she threw her 'rich' clothing to the ground to stomp on it. Kairi then quickly walked off towards the Market area.
Sora's P.O.V
Sora was walking throughout the Market frantically, still fuming over the tiny argument with Aladdin. He understood that Aladdin had his opinions and he had his but still Sora at least thought that Aladdin would agree with Sora. In the midst of his own fuming Sora bumped into a solid figure; soft figure.
"Sorry!" The figure said.
Sora turned towards the figure. "No it's my…" Sora stared into violet eyes that belonged to a young girl his age with Auburn hair that was straightened to her shoulders. Her bangs were swept across her forehead and her face was just beautiful. "…fault." The girl looked up to Sora taking in his features as well. Sora kept staring and shook his head making his spiky hair shake bringing a soft smile to the girls face. "I-I'm sorry for bumping into you."
The girl shook her head. "No it's alright. It was half my fault anyways."
Sora smiled at the girl. The longer he stared the more his heart warmed up. Sora held out his hand. "I'm Sora." The girl took his gloved hand and smiled. "I'm Kairi."
Sora let go of the girls hand and looked at her curiously. "Kairi huh? That name sounds familiar…"
Kairi quickly panicked a bit. She didn't want anyone recognizing her as the Princess. "Uh, it's a pretty popular name maybe…"
Sora shifted his feet. "Maybe but I could've sworn I've heard your name before…"
"W-Well I'm sort of new around here so word probably spreads quickly."
"Yeah. You know maybe I did hear your name floating around somewhere. Well if you're new…" Sora bowed to Kairi. "Welcome to Agrabah Kairi!" Sora looked back up to Kairi to see her giggling. Kairi found it humorous how Sora was bowing and he didn't even know her secret.
"What a gentleman you are Sora." Sora stood up straight again and smiled.
Sora scratched the back of his head nervous. "Say Kairi, since you're new and all do you need anywhere to stay?"
Kairi looked towards her feet. "Well, now that you mention it…I do need a place to rest and all."
"Great!" Sora grabbed Kairi's hand and started to walk fast paced through the crowds. Kairi tried to keep up her pace with Sora while being dragged. Kairi let out a laugh at Sora's excitement. Sora led Kairi all throughout Agrabah that day showing her the market, to the alleys and there secret pathways. Sora later helped Kairi climb the side of the broken building and into their home. Sora had a few laughs at points watching Kairi struggle with the short climb. When they were through the window, Sora gave her the 'Grand Tour'.
"…Over here is where I sleep, and over theres where we keep all the food..." Sora said pointing to everything. Kairi walked over to the huge hole in the wall and pulled back the sheet to see her home or what WAS her home. Sora walked up behind her.
"…And here we have the most disgusting view of all; The Palace."
Kairi looked to Sora. "Disgusting?"
Sora nodded. "I don't know what your opinion is on that place but I hate it. That place can go rot for all I care, along with the people inside." Sora walked over to his bed and sat down. Kairi walked over to Sora.
"Why do you hate the Palace so bad?"
Sora sighed. "Let's just say I can never let go of the past."
"The past?" Kairi sat down next to Sora. "What did the Palace do to you in the past?" Kairi was confused. Had her family hurt Sora before?
"I don't hate the Palace itself. I hate the girl inside…"
Kairi's eyes widened. "Do you mean the Princess?" Sora nodded. Kairi inhaled sharply. "Why do you hate the Princess?"
Sora shook his head and laid down. "It's a long story. Let's just say in short for now, that she ruined my life. She's the reason I live here and the reason I am a street rat. I hate her for what she's done to me and man if I ever see her…let's just say she won't see another ray of sunshine again." Kairi shifted herself uncomfortably. She's the Princess. Sora wants to hurt HER. What did she do though? Kairi shook her head. No, she WAS the Princess. No more of any of that.
Kairi looked towards Sora. "Well, let's just hope she never is seen again."
Sora looked up at Kairi confused. "What do you mean?"
Kairi shrugged. "I don't know." Sora smiled. Kairi returned the smile and looked around the room. She felt content here. Maybe being one of the people wasn't such a bad idea after all. Just one thing is to be made sure. Sora cannot find out that Kairi is the Princess. Even if she gave up that title, the past is unchangeable.
