whee whee! More more! I'm a bit hyper, can't you tell? Okay... here is the next chapter of "Kokoro". I don't really have much else to say. XD Please read, review and enjoy chapter 37!
Kokoro and Sora lay on the beach of the other island. Everyone else was in school so the island was empty. She sat up, looking out to sea, then down at him. "Hey Sora... what type of doctor does Sasami see?"
"Sami?" Sora looked up at her, then closed his eyes again. This was relaxing. "He's the family doctor. He thinks that the hurricane one year ago caused her to go mute. He's trying to get her to talk again, and so she tries once a month."
Kokoro stared out to sea again and again back down to him. "Has it... ever worked before?"
Sora was silent. He then got up to leave the conversation.
She got up as well, running to catch up to him. "Sorry I asked! Forget it." Kokoro smiled but Sora just stopped walking. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." He smiled at her, the smile that meant that nothing was alright. "Don't worry about it. Let's do something fun today, what do you think?"
Kokoro nodded and smiled, both then started to venture around the island for something fun to do, which wasn't hard to find.
The new world was one that Momo and Daniel knew exceptionally well. She was so happy to be walking into a town like it, a feudal era Japan town, from the show Inuyasha. Donald gave them the run through. Aki and Riku were sited here talking with the demon Naraku. Also, Heartless had been popping up. Momo was in charge of the mission, let Aki and Riku take the Royalty but make sure that the Archangel wasn't captured. It was the mission plan for all of the tasks now, knowing that only Aki and Riku could posses the Royalty because they themselves were Royalties. Momo, Daniel, and Skarwind were in attire that fit the era, but Mark was still in his State Alchemist attire. Remembering that Kagome walked around in a school uniform, it wasn't a strange thing. Also, Skarwind still wore his dragoon armor, making him look like a trained demon slayer. Momo led the group down the road to a hut, the place where they were to meet the team that was already after Naraku. Inuyasha and the gang.
Momo pushed the bamboo paper like door aside, going in. Inside Inuyasha was sitting in a corner while Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kirara and Shippo sat in one group in the middle of the small hut. "Hello, you must be Momo." Kagome introduced everyone.
Momo did the same, as soon as everyone got inside. "So then, how long have you guys been after Naraku?" Momo asked, she wanted to know the aboutness of where in story line they might be, if in any.
"Well, we just lost him to the mountains to the north. There used to be a sacred barrier there but now it's vanished." Kagome summed up.
Miroku nodded. "Ever sense then black demons have been appearing and stealing the hearts of innocent people."
"I see..." Momo sat down, placing Reiki to the side. Sango saw this and Momo noticed, then gave a slight bow. "Sorry if I mimicked you, I just like it a lot that's all."
Sango laughed. "That's fine. It's not like I own the rights to it." Momo looked back up, everyone was sitting down and getting to know each other.
Momo turned to her group, then at Kagome. "I guess we can start as soon as possible. We have many supplies and know about where Naraku could be. Plus, we have to beat Aki to the Archangel."
"Yeah, Donald told us about that too." Kagome told them everything they knew. "That's about it right?"
Momo nodded. "Yeah. When the Royalty is taken then the Archangel is revealed. We have to protect that person with our lives." She stopped talking when Miroku came up, taking her hands into his. "Uhh..."
"This is going to be a dangerous mission. May I ask one thing? May you be the bearer of my children?" Miroku asked with a smile. Sango and Momo both took up their giant boomerangs and hit him on top of the head. He held his hands together, two bumps on top of his head.
Momo and Sango started to laugh, this was going to be one fun adventure. Everyone went over the plans one more time, then started to the mountain where Naraku was supposed to be hiding.
Kokoro was out on the island where Sora always dueled Riku, sitting on the tree. Sora came running across the bridge, going around the tree and looking up at her. "So then... now what?" He laughed. "Please, no more chasing each other."
"No way!" Kokoro laughed, she then jumped down. "I think that's enough chasing for one day." She looked out to the sunset. They had spent the entire day there and it only felt like a few hours. No one else had come to the island, it must have been a busy day in school. She turned back to Sora, who seemed to have an idea. "What do you want to do?"
"hmm..." He went to the edge of the small island, then turned to Kokoro. "We haven't gone swimming yet." Sora waved to her, then jumped into the water.
Kokoro went to the edge, on hands and knees and looking down. "I have to warn you, I'm not the best at swimming. At Hallow Bastion I never went under water, not unless I was the mermaid." Sora looked up at her, keeping afloat with his hands and feet. "I can't go under very well."
"I'll teach you." Sora yelled back up. Kokoro examined the distance, then took off her boots. Not having a jacket to take care of she slid down the side into the water. When Kokoro made the final plunge in the plugged her nose, then came back up.
Sora started to laugh. "See?" Kokoro started to swim to shore, but Sora went under and swam in front of her, popping up and making her stop. "Sora!"
"Give it a try." Sora took her hands so she couldn't plug her nose. "Just hold your breath and go under." Kokoro looked down into the water, then shook her head. "Why not?"
She finally gave in. "Okay, but just once okay?" He nodded.
"On my count." Sora started. Kokoro took a deep breath, preparing for the dive. "One... two..." She looked up at him. "Three!" Both took a deep breath and went under water. Kokoro had her eyes closed and Sora was making all kinds of faces at her. She then opened her eyes and saw a face, he looked like a dead man, then she swam to the surface. After a big breath (and a little coughing) Kokoro started to swim to land again. Sora came up as well, swimming next to her with a back stroke. "Hey, sorry about the faces."
"It's not that... something doesn't feel right." Kokoro stopped swimming when Kairi came running over. Sora and Kokoro both looked at Kairi, still in school uniform, came to the edge of the water. "Oh no..." She glanced at Sora and both swam to shore.
Kairi was frantic, she started to yell out to him even before he got to shore. "Sora, it's Sasami! Something went wrong!" Sora was now at shore, walking up to her. He was also pale. Kokoro came up to shore, squeezing out the water in her tank top. "When the doctor came he did the same talk tests... but the part when he makes her remember that day-" Sora didn't want for anymore. He ran to his canoe and started to the main island.
Kokoro and Kairi watched as he left, then she looked at the school girl. "What happened?"
Kairi turned back to Kokoro. "She won't wake up... she passed out and now she won't wake up..." She started to cry. Kokoro looked back at Sora, he was very close to the residential area now. She went and got her boots, then ran to Kairi's canoe and both rowed to shore.
Sora, mostly dry now, ran into his house and to Sasami's room. She was on the bed, sleeping with the doll in her hands. Izumi was sitting next to the bed, she only looked up when Sora came in. "Sami... Sami!" He went up to the bed, trying to wake her. "Sami, Sami wake up!"
"We don't know what's wrong honey..." Izumi stood up, hugging her son. "Sora..."
He just stared at her, torture in his eyes. "It's my fault..."
"No it's not." Izumi turned him around. Sora was never looking at her face, just down. Izumi knew he would take it hard. "It's not your fault. The doctor said that the memories could have caused her to-"
"I should have been here with her!" Sora yelled. Kairi and Kokoro ran in at this, they were at the top of the stairs but heard Sora like he was next to them. "I should have stayed by her side, then this might not have happened."
"Sora it's-" Izumi started again but Sora just ran out of that room and into his, slamming the door behind him. Kairi and Kokoro cringed at this while Izumi came out of Sasami's room, closing the door gently behind her. She found Kairi and Kokoro standing there like phantoms. Izumi also looked like her life was being drained, so much had fallen onto this family. "Hello, I'm sorry that your stay isn't very nice... it shouldn't have to be this way."
Kokoro shook her head. "It's fine, don't worry about it." She looked at Sora's door, no movement. Not even the light went on. "Will he be okay?"
Izumi looked at the door as well and finally broke into tears. Kairi ran to her and escorted her down to the dining room, her stress was over the top. Kokoro looked at Sora's room again, then went downstairs to try and ease the pain.
GAH! This family goes through a LOT. Not only that, but DANG, this sure does ruin her little break now doesn't it? Looks like it wasn't a very good break after all. I hope you likied!
