*~*~* I know, it's been taking FOREVER to update, but that's because I hit
a dead end and, heck, can you blame me when I don't have a cliffhanger
ending like I should? Anyway, I still have loads of ideas...WHICH ONE SHOULD
I PUT SORA THROUGH FIRST MWAHAHAHA
Ahem...somebody asked about the 'little mermaid girl' and don't worry, I didn't get rid of her completely as you are about to find out!
Drat, I just gave the whole chapter away didn't I?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sora, Kairi, and Anna sat in the town's central that same day. The downtown was a series of little shops all around a brick sidewalk with benches and one fountain that stood right in the middle of them all.
Not one of the three had said a word for the past five minutes. Kairi was bored, Sora was enjoying the silence and Anna was about to jump up and kill someone if it didn't stop.
Anna was the type of girl that if something didn't happen, she would make it happen. Now, nobody knew this about her except maybe Magi, but when her family failed to yell or scream she became a very violent girl inside, and she started training secretly to attack anyone who tried to take advantage of her. Of course though, no one ever did, so what was she going to do?
Anna was actually a very nice person, but when she got angry or says that she wants to kill someone, be very cautious of her because who knows? So as you can probably see, her life so far has been a big question of fate. What happened in the past was that, and what will happen in the future is just that. But until then, you just kind of have to wait for a turn to come.
And then there is Kairi and Sora.
One is the daughter of a mayor, and probably so bored with her life she chose to hang out with the first people who talked to her, which was a very long time ago, and just whom happened to be very close seven/eight-year-old boys. So what if she wasn't like Selphie? Heck, who'd want to swing a jump rope around?
The other is a teen who is possibly going to die of embarrassment sooner or later, as we have all predicted. But other than that, he is a person who has fallen into the trap of self-consciousness that we all know. Up until he met Kairi, Sora was best friends with Riku and that was that; they didn't care if they appeared weird or different to the other island occupants.
Then Kairi came along and whammo. Sora falls for her.
Literally. He tripped over a rock reaching out to shake her hand.
So here they all were, sitting in complete silence. Anna finally jumped up and practically screamed.
"Do you want to do something else?!"
Sora shook himself from his trance. He looked up at Anna. "What?"
Anna groaned and walked away. Kairi jumped up and followed her, and they started talking about something.
Sora sighed and stared forward again. "So we're here. Here at a new world," he told himself and yawned. "Now what?"
He pulled himself up and ran his finger over his wrist bandage. It was white and hard, but it looked just like a regular bandage that you wrap around your arm if you got a cut. He stuck his hands in his pockets and walked along the brick marketplace.
Women and children walked together, and men bustled by carrying briefcases and mumbling to themselves. Sora liked the sounds of murmuring conversation and little kids running around with ice cream smeared on their faces, shrieking with laughter. If you've ever been around a group of shops, this is what it looked like.
Sora walked on towards the fountain at the end of the street. It looked over the small bay, covered with docks and ships of all sorts. The masts were sky high, and house-boats were elegant.
"And to think," Sora smiled. "We came here on a raft." He sat down on the bench next to the fountain and watched the water fall down, the 'splash' of the water as it hit the pond inside. And hanging over the edge was...
Sora almost fell off the bench and yelped as if he had been struck by lightning suddenly. His thoughts swarmed around his head like a pack of bees and he stood up, slowly backing away from the small hand that was hanging over the wall of the fountain.
Okay, Sora, get your head together. Get Anna or Kairi. Get help. Get that body out of the fountain...
Sora's heartbeat picked up as he took step by step forward towards the fountain. No one was around him and he peeked inside, expecting blood or a mangled body.
Sora dropped to his knees and his mouth dropped open. "Ah..."
Kairi ran over to him, seeing him frozen by the side of the fountain. "Sora? What..." She gasped as she saw 'what.'
"Sora...? What is...who? Who is that?"
Sora reached both hands over the wall and lifted a small, child-sized mermaid out.
Ahem...somebody asked about the 'little mermaid girl' and don't worry, I didn't get rid of her completely as you are about to find out!
