They always described her as angel. There never was any darkness in her. Perhaps that was because she was the child of light. But, Sora saw through that. Hikari was an ordinary child like the rest of them -with some extraordinary powers of sensing darkness, but that's not the point- and like all people they had their breaking points.
That day when she spotted her classroom vandalized, she was shocked. Her desk was the main target, demolished beyond fixing. She ran out of the room, unsure of what to do than cry. No one was sure of what to say, and what they did say usually made it worse. At least, until Sora came up to her.
"Hikari..."
The brunette looked up briefly before turning away again, streaks of tears covered her face. She rubbed her eyes, trying too look somewhat composed and failing, badly.
Sora just sat beside her on the sidewalk. "I wonder what that person's feeling... to do something like that..."
Hikari looked up then. Her eyes were red and sore from crying. "I... wouldn't know..."
"I'd say that... she's feeling a bit frustrated right now. Depressed. Mad. Mostly..." She slipped her hand in Hikari's as her voice dropped to a low whisper, "just lonely and wanting someone to talk to. Just someone to notice them and listen."
Hikari turned around, facing her, and Sora hugged her tightly as the brunette sobbed violently.
At times like this, Hikari really had to wonder if Sora really was an angel. Or was she just imagining those white wings and that golden halo?
