A/N: Hi!
Disclaimer: I don't own KH of 'Cable car'.
Earth meets sky
"Is there a spirit willing to communicate?" Sora mumbled as he sat on the floor.
A small pendant with a crystal on the end began to spin in circles on its own. (This is a really method of speaking with ghosts) He stopped the crystal and asked another question.
"Can you tell me your name?"
It began to spin again. He stopped the pendant. He was about to ask another question when his door opened.
"Sor-sor! Mom says to get out of the house and meet some new people" Namine said.
"Why?"
"I…think it's because you scared the movers"
Sora scoffed and nodded.
"Let me change my outfit" Sora said smiling.
"Ok. I think you can find some in your backpack"
"Really?" Sora said dumbfounded "They were in there the whole time?"
"Yep mom put them there"
"Argh. I'm such an airhead" Sora sighed.
After a few minutes he was wearing his favorite attire. He was wearing his black shorts with a bunch of yellow belts with a red and navy shirt covered in a black and white jacket. (KH2 outfit. I know he's 14 but I loved his KH2 outfit!)
"I'm leaving!" Sora shouted as ran down the stairs.
Squeak! Thumpthumpthump!
"Ow" Was all he said and he rubbed his head.
Cloud was laughing his head of as he helped his little brother from the floor.
"You alright?"
"Fine. Never been better" Sora said with annoyance.
Some of the movers snickered but were silenced be one of Cloud's glares.
"Need to clean that" Sora mumbled.
"I'll take care of it. Take a walk" Cloud said as he pushed him out of the door.
"Fine fine" Sora said miserably.
Sora sighed as he walked down.
'All I do is scare people' After thinking that Sora plunged into a deep dark depression.
'You'll never fit in!' Said a menacing voice in Sora's head.
'Not true!' Sora fought the voice.
The voice merely laughed and Sora suddenly felt very cold. Sora's mind began to race.
'Not again…not now!'
"Hey" A new voice said.
Sora jumped turned around and gasped. It was a teen with silver hair and aqua eyes.
"You're the new kid right?"
"I-I g-guess" Sora stuttered.
Riku smirked at the kid's insecurity. This kid looked like he never had a friend in the world the way he walked out of his house. Riku, being a nice guy decided that he would help this cute kid.
"My name is Riku" Riku introduced.
"S-Sora. My n-name is Sora"
Sora. It fit him.
"Well Sora you want a tour?"
"I-I guess" Sora said shakily.
"Hm. Sora do you always stutter?"
"…No I don't think s-so"
Riku smiled. This kid was something else.
"Shall we start on this street?"
"Sure if you want to" Sora said.
Riku gestured the small boy to follow him. Sora pursued the teen.
"So how old are you Sora?"
'God I love his name' Riku thought in the back of his mind.
"Um, 14. You?"
"Fifteen"
Sora seemed to remain quiet unless he was spoken to by Riku.
"Are you always this quiet?"
"I guess. I get lost I my head easily" Sora said with embarrassment.
Riku snickered and turned to Sora.
"I guess I have to work on that"
"What?" Sora said in confusion.
Riku merely laughed and ruffled Sora's spiky hair. Sora frowned and tried to tame his hair.
'I wonder what he looks like when he smiles' Riku thought.
"You hungry?"
"N-no" Sora replied but his stomach betrayed him.
Riku smirked.
"Right. Come on, let's eat in my house"
"B-but" Sora stuttered.
"No 'buts'" Riku said as he grabbed Sora's wrist and dragged him to his house.
'This place is going to be like last time' Sora thought sadly as he and Riku walked down the street.
Sora waited for Namine and Cloud to meet him in the front of the school so they could walk home together, but they seemed to be late. Sora looked up and groaned. The group of really popular kids was walking towards him.
"Hey there Sora" A popular girl said.
"H-hey" Sora said
"You know what day it is?"
"M-Monday" Sora said sadly.
"That's right. Pain day!" The popular girl cheered.
The football boys began to advance and Sora turned to run. He was able to evade them for a good five minutes, but the grabbed his arms and hoisted him up.
"Dog pit! Dog pit! Dog pit!" The popular kid chanted.
'Dog pit?' Sora thought with confusion.
The kids carried him to a tall fence.
"Enjoy the dog pit!" A football player said and they throw him over the fence.
"Ow" Sora whined when he landed on his tailbone.
"Grrrr..."
Sora's head snapped up and gasped. A male pit-bull.
"Hehehe…Nice doggy" Sora said as he stood up and took a step back.
But Sora's shouted when the dog attacked him and sank his teeth in his shoulder. The 'populars' cheered.
After running from the dog for ten minutes Sora collapsed in a corner. His left arm had four bites on it and his shoulder was bleeding badly. The dogs muzzle was stained with blood.
As the dog began to advance when the 'populars' shouted in fear. Sora didn't see it but Cloud jumped the fence with a metal pipe.
"Sora!" Cloud shouted when he saw his little brother.
The dog attacked and Sora waited for more pain. But there was a dog whine and someone grabbed Sora's good shoulder. Cloud jumped to fence with Sora and landed on the ground.
"Sora!" Namine cried when she saw her big brother.
"I'm f-fine" Sora stuttered.
Later at the hospital Sora had to get stitches and a bunch of rabies shots. Sora didn't shed one tear the whole time. He merely stared at his lap with a vacant expression.
"He's in shock" The doctor said shaking his head.
Sora was taken home. The whole car ride both Cloud and Namine tried to make Sora laugh, but there attempts fell in deaf ears. Sora remained expressionless and his usually bright eyes were dull and sad.
Sora sat on the couch when they come home. Selene gestured her other children away and sat next to her youngest son.
"Sora honey? You ok?"
"I'm fine" Sora said dully.
Selene wrapped her arms around Sora and hugged him.
"It's ok Sora. I'm the only one here"
This seemed to get to Sora and he made a hiccupping sound and Selene smiled a sad smile. Sora cried while Selene comforted him. Cloud and Namine sat at the stairs and listened to there brothers sobs. Sora fell asleep in Selene's arms and Cloud carried him to his small room.
The next day Sora's house was on sale.
"Hello? Earth to Sora!" Riku said to Sora who seemed to be in a daze.
"Wha?" Sora said shaking his head.
"Do you want PBJ?"
"Um. Sure."
Riku nodded and got to work. Sora offered to help but Riku shook his head. Soon Sora was quietly munching down on his sandwich. Riku merely watched him.
"Do you mind if I put on some music?" Riku asked.
"Go ahead it's your house" Sora said as he watched Riku turn on his radio.
I never knew
I never knew that every thing was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a que
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
That's how its gotta be
Its coming down to nothing more that apathy
I if read around the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who still standing when it clears
Sora began to sing quietly with the song.
Every one knows I'm in over my head
Over my head
Eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Lets rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I can disengage
Just say that we agree and we'll never change
Soften the plate till we always get along
That's disregard you find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging about as the canyon comes between
Riku was surprised. Sora's voice was like dripping honey. Sweet and innocent but full of sadness. He was perfect!
Every one knows I'm in over my head
Over my head
Eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Every one knows I'm in over my head
Over my head
Eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
Riku found himself hypnotizes by Sora's voice. Sora didn't seem to notice how well he was singing.
Suddenly I've become part of the past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you
And its ever blast
Without a sound
Loss sight of the ground and throw around
Never thought you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torture ourselves
Every one knows I'm in over my head
Over my head
Eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head I'm over my
Every one knows I'm in over my head
Over my head
Eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
The song ended and Sora felt someone watching him. Riku was staring at him with such interest that Sora blushed in embarrassment.
"Wow. Where did you learn to sing?" Riku asked.
"I…don't know" Sora said looking away "Sorry"
"Why? That was the best" Riku said grinning.
Sora shook his head and took a bite of his sandwich.
'There has to be a way to get him to join' Riku thought still grinning.
"Um…Do you want to go to my house?" Sora said shyly.
"Sure" Riku said.
A/N: Yes I know that the song doesn't really fit in this chappy, but I wanted Sora to be a good singer. The flashbacks will be common. Review!
