Ch. 4
Sora's PoV
I can't believe it. I hadn't been here in years. Destiny Islands. I had missed my old home. I turn to look at Roxas, beaming in happiness.
"Welcome home, Sora." Roxas says to me. I smile at him. Tears of joy stream down my face.
"Thank you so much, Roxy." I say before sprinting towards my childhood home. I knock on the door and wait, hearing noise inside. The door opens to reveal my mom, Akiko Hikari. She stares at me in shock.
"S-S-Sora? Is that really you?" she whispers. I nod tearfully.
"Hey mom." I say. She slams into me, and I pull her into a tight hug. There is a chuckle behind us, and I turn to see Roxas standing there.
"Mom, I would like to introduce you to my boyfriend, Roxas." I say. They shake hands, and mom eyes him carefully.
"It's an honor to meet you, ma'am." Roxas says politely, smiling. After a short minute of silence, she smiles before hugging him as well.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Roxas. You treat my son well, ok?" she says to him. I blush at her statement. Roxas nods.
"Well, why are you two just standing there? Come in, come in!" Mom says, ushering us into the house.
"I was just making dinner. And yes, Sora, before you ask, it is Halibut." She says, smiling. Pan grilled Halibut with chimichurri is the most delicious thing I have ever tasted. Especially when my mom makes it. We sit down on the couch while Mom goes back into the kitchen for about ten minutes. During that time, Roxas and I were silent, and I was holding his hand.
"Boys, come eat!" Mom shouts. We calmly walk into the dining room to see three plates made. We all sit down, and begin eating. Mom watches me as I eagerly tear into it, smiling and savoring the taste of something I haven't eaten in over half a decade. It is a little known fact that I simply adore just about all kinds of fish. I love the movie Finding Nemo as well. Roxas chuckles at me.
"So, will you two be staying here?" Mom asks us. I look at him before he answers.
"Yes, actually, I was planning on looking for a place to stay as of tomorrow morning. Do you possibly know where an available house is?" Roxas asks her. She thinks for a moment before answering.
"Yeah, Tidus and his family moved about two months ago, they live on the other side of the island now." She says. Roxas nods.
"Awesome, we'll check it out in the morning." Roxas says. I smile easily.
"Riku and Kairi come by every day, asking about you, you know. You should probably go over there." Mom says to me.
"Sure, we'll head over there in just a minute. I've just missed you sooo much. Is Edym back home yet?" I ask her. Her face fell at the mention of my older brother.
"Edym was killed by these strange creatures. They were all black, with glowing golden eyes. There was a boom, and black shrouded his body. Later that day, a man came by." She says.
Flashback
Akiko wiped her eyes. Both of her boys were gone. Edym was killed by those things, and Sora had disappeared without a trace. She had been half asleep, crying when there was a knock at the door. She opened it to reveal a man in a black cloak, whose hood covered his face.
"Ms. Hikari?" He asked. When she nods, he pulls down his hood. There stood her late son Edym.
"Edym?" she asks, crying.
"Yeah mom. But, my name is Demyx. I, ah, I don't really know where to start," He whispers softly.
Flashback end
"He went on to tell me how he was your brother's Nobody, and that he had all of his old memories. He told me of how he was searching for you. He visited almost every week on Tuesday, until, one week, he didn't show up. He never came by again." Mom finishes. I feel sick to my stomach. I killed my own brother? I had to leave. I stand suddenly.
"Sorry, mom, but I have to go. Come on Rox." I say. Roxas and my mom stand. I hug her tightly.
"Bye Sora." She whispers. We head to the car.
"You ok, Sor?" He asks me. I shake my head.
"I just found out that I pretty much killed my own brother." I say, stifling a sob. Roxas rubs my shoulder comfortingly. The drive home was quiet. We decide to hold off visiting Riku and Kairi until tomorrow.
When I go to sleep, I dream of black hair and golden eyes.
In the dream
I was young again. I was about four or five, and Riku had just walked off with a tall, brown haired man. I was walking in the water, not paying attention when I ran into someone. I looked up to see my lookalike, except he had black hair and golden eyes. He looks down at me, smiling. He has a large object in his hand. He sees me staring at it.
"Would you like to hold it?" He asked me. I was shocked at how deep his voice was.
"What is it?" I ask him. He gives a light chuckle.
"This is a great weapon called a Keyblade. Only those who are special enough to be chosen have one. This particular Keyblade is called Void Gear." He says. I hold my hand out, and he hands it to me. It's surprisingly light. It feels right in my hands. He chuckles yet again.
"I have chosen you, little one." He says. I look up at him.
"My name's Sora! What's your name?" I ask him. He smiles.
"My name….Is Vanitas." He says quietly. I smile, and hand him his large key back.
"Very nice to meet you, Vani!" I say to him. He chuckles at my nickname for him.(Sorry if Vanitas is a bit OOC, but, he's not as mean to Sora, and you'll soon find out why.)
"Will I see you again?" I ask him. He nods.
"When you remember this, I will come." He says. I nod. He waves his hand, and a ball of darkness appears. It forms a keychain, with a mangled heart at the end.(Think Vanitas' symbol in BBS) I take it from him. He smiles, before he disappears.
Dream end.
I snap awake. I stumble out of bed and into the street. I remember everything. Ventus, Terra, Aqua, and, most importantly, my father. Vanitas. The man who passed on his keyblade to me.
"Vanitas," I whisper. A darkness portal appears in front of me.
"You called?" A deep voice asks. I look up and see him.
"Father." I say. His face breaks into a smile. He walks up to me and hugs me tightly.
"Edym….I-I killed him." I say to him. He sighs.
"There is a way. But I will need a lot of power from you." He says to me. I nod without hesitating. He grabs my arm, and I push all my power at him. His eyes glow golden with power before everything goes black. Then, standing there in front of us, Is Edym wearing the cloak of Organization XIII.
Aaaaand, that, folks, is the end of this chapter. It is my longest yet. What do you think? I tried to slow down the best I could. But, I don't think I succeeded. Oh well. Adios! Panda out!
