Romeo and Cinderella
Daycare Disaster Parte 1
"We need to find someone that you trust." I said to Sora as we got dressed for school.
It had been two days after I got out of the hospital and school had been a drag. Apparently my father thought it would be nice to have the entire world know about my condition so obviously I was bombarded when I returned to school. I wasn't expecting today to be any different.
"What do you mean?" He asked sliding his blazer over the white collar shirt of his uniform.
"I want Hikari to go to daycare."
"No." He said bluntly.
"Don't you want her to be around children her own age?"
"Riku, she's never been away from me. I don't want to think about what would happen if she were away from me."
"Have you tried to see how she would do? Without you?"
"No and I don't plan to."
"So what are you going to do? Shelter her all her life?"
He threw down his bag and went into the bathroom. "If that's what it takes."
"You're so stubborn!"
"And you're persistent."
"Why won't you just consider it?"
"Because you haven't considered everything either!" He shouted,"did you think about her magic Riku? Her magical core is still unstable. Who's going to level her out?"
"Of course I thought of that, you think I didn't think everything through? If I thought it was harmful or a bad idea I would've never suggested it."
"There's a special daycare near my father's house, a daycare for special children."
"Hikari isn't fucked up in the head Riku." He said cursing when he dropped something.
"Would you just shut your face and listen to me?" He was quiet and I continued. "Apparently there are magical children here as well and my father said to give it a try. There's about ten of these children and a woman who wields magic as well."
He came out of the bathroom and frowned. "How do you know?"
"Experience."
"What do you mean?"
"I went there with my father and saw the children for myself. She said she would welcome Hikari with open arms."
"Will it be okay?"
"We'll give it a try and drop her off tomorrow."
"Okay.."
"Hey," I lifted his chin,"it'll be fine."
"Hikari, you have to be good." Sora was struggling and I could see it.
"Alwight Mommy." Hikari smiled and Sora hugged her. "If you need me, ask Miss Kizaki if you can call me okay?"
"Otay Mommy."
"I love you and I'll see you later. Jii-chan will be here to pick you up yes?"
"Yes, Mommy."
"Sora, I understand you don't want to say goodbye but we'll be late if you don't."
"Bye-bye Daddy." Hikari gave me a hug and I passed her onto the woman responsible for watching her. "Don't fail me."
"Of course Sugisaki-san."
I ushered Sora back to my car where he went albeit reluctantly. "Come on it'll be fine." I said started the car and driving toward school.
First period had gone by without a synch and second period too, but Sora was extremely out of it. He kissed me as we moved to third period but he wasn't there. Business was boring today for some reason, and I found myself almost falling asleep.
"Hey, Riku."
"Hmm?" I turned my attention to Zexion.
"You okay? You seem out of it."
"I'm fine. I just have a bad feeling."
"About what?"
"Sora is having difficulties letting Hikari go so he's not himself right now." I ran a hand through my hair,"it's affecting me now too."
"Just let him be. I'm sure it'll pass soon."
The lights flickered in the classroom and I gave a look to Zexion. "Something's not right."
"No, do you think it's Sora?"
"I hope not."
There was a silence and suddenly the door slammed open. "Riku! There's something wrong with Sora!"
"I hate it when I'm right sometimes." I followed the girl into Sora's Culinary Arts class where he sat in the corner, curled up shaking.
"Sora!" I ran to him but a hand was on my shoulder before I could.
I turned back and it was Zexion.
"You won't be happy with this but I would advise you not to touch him."
He went to Sora and placed his hand onto clear air that crackled as he touched it. He gritted his teeth and sighed. "We'll have to wait for your father to get here. He's the only one who can handle this intense magic, besides you.
"Then why can't I do it?" I asked.
"Because if you touch him, you'll kill him."
My heart slipped a beat then. "I'll kill him?"
"I can't explain it right now. And it's not my place to."
I swallowed and looked at my love, his eyes dark and dead, his chest rising and falling with small, panting breaths and his body trembling slightly.
"Will he be okay?"
"If your dad gets here on time, then yes."
"If not?"
"There may be a few consequences."
I was very fearful for my lover's life at this point. I desperately wanted to go and hold him and make sure that he was okay.
"Why is this happening?" I asked myself, sitting down.
"He was away from Kari for too long. That's why he was adamant on not letting her go. Not only does he ground her but she grounds him. They keep each other's magic under control and you just balance out the equation."
"So if I hadn't suggested Hikari go to daycare..." I was hit with realization. "Oh my God. Is Kari...?"
"Highly doubtful. She's surrounded by magical children. They're probably grounding her enough."
The air shifted and Sora's body stopped moving. Zexion reached out and touched him before freezing. "He's not breathing."
OKAY! I LIVE!
I'm sorry it took so long to get this next chapter up but you know, things happen and life started catching up to me. Well anyways, here it is and I won't be on a set schedule until the end of the month. My birthday is in thirteen days so I'll update then and I'll update again when my classes are over and again when my finals are over. So yay I've just given you all an update schedule! Now countdown and hurry up so school can end faster because you're waiting for my wonderful updates!
