Asylum? Chapter 4: so close, a kingdom hearts fanfic

Sora sat in his room with his legs against the wall and his back
on the floor with his acoustic guitar in his hands,strumming away
as his lips moved on their in accord.

Can't blame you
For thinkin'
That you never really knew me at all
I try to deny you
But nothing ever made me feel so wrong
I thought was protecting you
From everything that I go through
But I know that we got lost along the way

Here I am
with all my heart
I hope you understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make that mistake again
You brought me closer to who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me

What you mean to me

Just know that I'm sorry
I never wanted to make you feel so small
A story
Is just beginning
For let the truth break down these walls
Oh yea, yea
And everytime I think of you
I think of how you push me through
And show me how much better I could be

Yea
You make me feel like I'm myself
Instead of being someone else
I wanna live that everyday
You say what no one else would say
You know exactly how to get to me
You know it's what I need
It's what I need
Yea

What you mean to me

He sighed and looked at his clock,11 4 or 5 hours until Kairi'd
come by. He sighed and thought of another song he knew. He thought of one he
wrote and stummed his guitar,thinking back to when his old friends would
play the other instruments with him.

He stopped his guitar and sighed before he even let the words escape his
lips,"My past is too dark to put into words. But I can put my sadness into
lyrics that sound good. And are true."

He thought for a minute and started strumming his guitar again,this time
going through the whole song.

Time has run out, for me.
Every thing's distant and I don't know what to believe.
It's so hard, lost in the world confusion.
And I need to leave, for a while.
Life is so meaningless, there is nothing worth a smile.
So goodbye, I'll miss you.

And I'm sorry, but this is my fate.
Everything is worthless, no one who wants me to stay.
And I'm sorry, but I've waited too long.
So here's my goodbye, no one will cry over me.
I'm not worth any tears.

It's been the years, of abuse.
Neglected to treat the disorder,
That controls my youth, for so long.
I'm in a fleshy tomb, buried up above the ground.
It's no use, why should I hold on?
It's been five years, don't need one more.
So goodbye, life's abuse.

And I'm sorry, but this my fate.
Everything is worthless, no one who wants me to stay.
And I'm sorry, but I've waited too long.
So here's my goodbye, no one will cry over me.
So here's my goodbye, no one will cry over me.
I'm not worth any tears.

He closed his eyes and just strummed his guitar in a bored way,
"I hope I'm not this bored until Kairi gets here."

He did this for another 3 hours before a nurse opened his door,
"We have thought about it and have decided you need better care. The
doctors are discussing signing you over to a new asylum."

He shot up and showed the most anger he could without going crazy,
"No! I wanna stay here! Kairi can help me! I know she can! He told me
she could! That ... that she would ... I can't leave now. I'm so close to
knowing why I was born. Please. Let me stay. I need Kairi. I trust her.
Please! I'm begging you!"

She saw his heart tear even more in his eyes and felt sympathy for
the poor boy,"I'm sorry. But you won't even tell us your name. There
must be something we can't do for you."

He screamed again,"No! My name is my sancturary! I'll give you it!
It's Sora! Sora! Just please! Don't ... Don't take me away from Kairi!"

She saw tears streak down his pale face and she saw pure dispair
and need in his normally emotionless eyes,"Sora ... Kairi should be
here soon. I'll make sure to explain to her though."

He screamed out in pure agony and lunged at the nurse. But she shut
door before he could. He banged into it and his mouth bled. He sobbed
uncontrolably and saw something glimmer under the couch.

He got it and saw it was a shard of broken glass that must've been
pushed under the couch when he hurt himself a month before. He then
remembered that he hid it for future use.

He wiped his eyes and brought the shard to his arm,cutting where
there was no vein. The cut went from his elbo to a little before
his wrist. He smiled as he watched the crimson liquid drip down his
arm into the pure white carpet.

He made another cut on the other arm just the same and smiled as
the blood ran down his arms. His smile looked demonic as well as his
eyes. He made another cut along the back of his left hand and heard
the door click open. He looked up and saw Kairi. She screamed and her
eyes darted from his face,to the shard,and to the fresh blood from
his arms and hand.

She rushed towards him and took the shard from him,putting it out
of his reach,"How could you! Why would you do this to yourself!"

He then started yelling back,"You don't understand! They're sending
me away! Far away! To another asylum! Away from you! I need you in my
life! They won't listen to me! I need to stay! With you I can keep my
sanity! You keep me sane!"

She sat beside him and let the tears run down her face,"B-but ...
Y-you're the o-only one t-to understand me. Sora ... I-I don't know
what I'll do if they transfer you."

He nodded in agreement and grabbed a white towel from the table,
wiping his arms. He put preasure on it and looked down in shame,
"I'm sorry Kairi. I shouldn't have cut myself. I'm so sorry. I even
told them my name. It's no longer my sancturary ... You are Kairi.
You've been the best friend I've ever had. Even when people knew I
was alive."

She sobbed a bit and took the towel,turning over his hand and
dabbing the blood off,"That means alot Sora ... I just wish you
could stay here. I need you in my life too. You're so much nicer
than anyone. Even Riku before he got all jealous."

Sora smiled a bit and a nurse ran in,grabbing Sora and quickly
putting handcuffs on his hands and ankles. He sighed and his eyes
returned to their emotionless state. Then the nurse looked at Kairi
with anger,"Why didn't you bring him right to us when you saw he
cut himself! We don't need you anymore! We got his name! Now we can
get rid of him!"

She sobbed louder and screamed out,"No!"

Sora looked at her with sympathy as the unkind nurse ushered
him away,"Kairi ... Take my guitar."

She reached out to him and looked around the room. Then she saw
his guitar. She picked it up and examined it. She ran her hand on
it and flipped it over to the back. There,words were carved in
with what seemed like deadly claws.

The words read,"My dearest son. Sora Strife. We are sorry to send
you to the mortal world but there is a girl whom you are destined
to meet. She'll help you. God told me to. And don't forget us."

The signatures were scartched out but she made out the first letters
of both first and last names of both people. TL and CS. She figured the
S was for Strife.

She sobbed and picked up the guitar,taking it home with her. When
her mother saw her crying she hugged her tight to her body,"Oh my
baby. What happened?"

Then she sobbed out the whole story of Sora being sent to another
asylum and them using her for his name. But the nurse who first saw
her too believed he needed help.

Her mother stroked her hair and comforted her,"Shhh. It's alright
Kairi. Fate'll let you see him again. In dreams or in the real world.
You'll never forget him. And if you do,the guitar shall remind you
of him."

She clung to his guitar and nodded,"I-I know mom. B-but he was s-so
kind and c-caring. H-he doesn't d-diserve th-this."

Her mom continued to comfort her,"Shhhhhh. I know baby. It's fine. I'm
sure he'll be perfectly fine."

But while they were doing this Sora was chained to a table with a
doctor hovering over him,examining the pearly fangs,"Hmm. I know this
work. An experiment gone parents were tested in a lab and
with the chemicals made a demon child. Interesting. Maybe we can use
you."

He hissed and he spat venom in his words,"You'll never hold me! I
need her! She's salvation!"

He then broke free from his chains,breaking through the wall and
running,jumping over cars and ran right into an alley. He slid under
the dumpster as he heard the gaurds come running. They ran right past
the alley though.

He sighed and looked to see the doctor talking to a news crew,
"I'd like to warn the citizens of Twilight Town. Our most dangerous
patient has escaped. His name is Sora. We have no description but
beware. He's not afraid to kill you if you get in his way while he's
angry."

Sora's eyes narrowed and he snuck through the shadows and looked
around until he got to a darker alley where a group had a TV on. He
creeped up and peeked from behind a dumpster. Then he saw Riku's
shiny silver locks of hair.

He looked back at the TV and saw the news announcment playing.
Riku looked terrified,"H-he could be anywhere. E-even in this
very alley."

Sora smirked a bit and figured he could have some fun. He made
his voice demonic and venom filled as he hid fully,"Oh Riku how
right you are. But don't fear me. I'm not a killer. My parents were
experimented on. Thus,the chemicals created a demon child. But I
just need help. And the one person who can help me ... I don't know
where she lives. But you do."

Sora then stood at full hight,arms still dripping a bit with
blood,adding demonic affect. Riku sqeaked,"Y-You! Th-the girl is
Kairi! She lives on Sea Street! It's a pink house!"

Sora smiled,"Thanks Riku. Or should I say Riku the great? We
used to be friends. Here. I'll revive your memory."

Sora put his fingers on Riku's temples and concentrated. Riku's
eyes shot open and he looked at Sora,"Woah ... I-I never knew that
happened ... I always thought that guy in those memories was Roxas
or something. But ... it was you?"

Sora nodded,"Yeah. I figure I'll probably die soon so I might as
well get stuff fixed. I used to be pretty popular. More than you.
But abuse was always mixed in with it and the problem of being a
demon. Or ... I may go find my parents. But first I gotta see Kairi."

With that,Sora left,slinking through the shadows like a wisp of
smoke. His shorts moved with the wind and his muscles flexed with
every long reach to run.

He saw Sea street but it seemed so far away. He felt dizzy and
fainted while still hidden in the shadows.
