Sora awoke the next morning on his bedroom floor, and for a minuet he was dazed.
Wha..? his mind mentally blinked as it processed the fact that he was on the floor, and not his soft downy bed.
Then, it all clicked together.
Sora bolted upright, and consequently cursed aloud as he gripped his head.
"Owchie…" he frowned. "Its all your fault, stupid phone."
He kicked the offending plastic until it reached the door.
When the dull thud of plastic on wood reached his ears, a thought came to mind.
Holy SHIZ, someone ANSWERED THE PHONE!!
Eyes going wife, Sora snatched up the phone and flew out the door and down the stairs. It was noon, his mom would be at work.
Another thought.
Shiznit, WORK!!
Little Sora Hashiba was torn between his fear of his boss, and whatever the hell was wrong with his phone.
So, he did his Decision Dance.
Meaning, he hopped from one foot to the other whilst standing in the doorway of the house, looking very much like a little boy that had to go potty.
On one hand, he knew Seifer would either beat the shiz out of him or he'd get fired.
On the other hand, his phone had started to tick and then that voice made him pass out.
The more Sora thought about it (and the more he looked like he had to pee), he came to realize something.
Kairi didn't use her cell phone to call him.
She had used one he'd never seen before.
Sora stopped moving. His mind was made up.

Diing dooong.
Diiiinng doooong.
Dingdondingdondingdondingdon-
"Sora! For the love of god, what is it?" Kairi's father screeched.
"ah..hello…is Kairi here?" Kairi's father had always scared Sora.
Mr. Uchimura sighed, exasperated.
"Sorry kid, she's out putting up found signs. Said she found technology on the street."
Technology was what Mr. Uchimura called cell phones.
"Do you know what street she might be on?" So sue the kid, he was lazy.
"Just call her, runt." Mr. Uchimura's personal nickname for any of Kairi's guy friends.
Or maybe it was just because Sora was short. He didn't care.
Sora thanked Kairi's father and turned, walking down the sidewalk while flipping through his contacts list. Finding her number, he hit talk.
Riiing.
Riiing.
Riiiiiiiing.
"Hi guys, this is Kairi! Sorry I cant come to the phone right now-"
Sora flipped his phone shut. He knew Kairi never checked her messeges.

Two and a half hours later, Sora found himself clinging to a telephone pole for dear life, breathing hard with aching feet. He'd lost track of how many times he'd called Kairi, and in a fit of panic (something could have happened to her!), he'd been running around the neighbor hoods like a mad man.
Pressing his back to the pole, he allowed himself to slide down the splintering surface as he held his head in his hands.
For a long while, the only sounds were that of passing cars and Sora's deep breaths.
Sora's mind was racing a mile a minuet, worrying over Kairi- should he call her father?
He was so preoccupied he missed the sound of gentle footsteps.
"Sora?"
Sora whipped his head around so fast he almost gave himself whip lash.
"Kairi!" He pounced on the lithe girl. "Kairi Kairi Kairiiii!"
"Wah..Sora…Can't breathe!" Kairi began to claw at Sora's tanned arms.
He apologized quickly and released her.
"Why didn't you answer your phone? I don't know how many times I've called you!" Sora was beginning to go into mother hen mode.
"Relax, Sora. I was just putting up posters for that phone I called you with. I found it on the road, and figured someone must be missing it." Kairi explained.
Sora was silent for a while, before he burst- "that dosent explain why you didn't answer!"
Kairi blinked.
"My phone never rang."
This time, it was Sora's turn to blink.
"What? But..look!" Sora whipped out his Razor, and flipped to the dialed calls history.
"See!" He shouted.
"No, Sora, I don't see anything." Kairi gave him a funny look.
Sora flicked his wrist to see the screen.
It was dark.
He pressed the talk button, and the screen remained the same.
"Gah, stupid thing!" he smacked against his palm, and the screen shone bright white, and an electronic voice rang, "You have one new messege! From; Hayner."
Pressing the talk button, he gave Kairi the pointer finger sign for one moment, and Kairi complied, rolling her eyes.
And then…
"Sora."
And little Sora Hashiba's world went dark.
