*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Summary: A new girl ends up on the island and and while she's closer to the dark, her heart is in the light. S/OC, R/K
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dinner and a Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sora's mother was all too happy to have Chasity over.
After Destiny Islands was once again theirs and Sora had come home from doing what he needed to do, he explained everything. If this girl was somehow connected, she wanted her close. Chasity would spend the night in a guest room across from Sora's. Sora was glad she was nearby as well. He led her upstairs and into her new room. After they entered, she turned around and thanked him.
"You already thanked my mother about five times, no more thanks. We don't mind." He smiled sweetly at her. She nodded and looked back around the room and went to sit on the bed.
"This bed is really soft. It's a lot different than home. Everything there is pretty firm and not very comfortable." She bounced a little as if to prove her statement. He walked to the bed and sat down beside her.
"Why don't you make it more comfortable?" He turned towards her. She looked at him and shrugged.
"If it was too comfortable then we would never want to leave." They stared at each other for a while. Sora leaned in and closed his eyes. She followed his movements.
"SORA! CHASITY! DINNER'S READY!" They looked at the door in anger and then at each other with a softer look. She gave a nervous chuckle before standing up and offering her hand to him.
"Come on, Sora. Your mom doesn't peg me as the one who would want to wait around for you." She smiled and he took her hand.
"For us. You live here now. Until we find a way to get you home, you will stay with us." Chasity smiled back at him and then turned to the door.
Dinner was eaten with a story. Sora's mom asked Chasity to tell them about her life and she felt obligated to tell them.
"Well, I was born Chasity Darkheart, but my parents weren't that great. I was their only child and so they looked after me as if I was a princess. It was annoying. I didn't know anything about what they did until I was about 14. I left home shortly after I found out that they were assisting someone named Ansem to take people's hearts and somewhat create an army. I dropped my last name and stayed with a friend in a run down hotel until the time came to fight. The people banned together and the heartless he created were destroyed.
"After that, people started disappearing. It was one at a time and so people didn't take an active notice until after the fifth one was gone. The only reason why people actually paid attention to that one was because he was a major political figure and so the police released the information on the other four. After that, a lot more people started to go missing. My friend and a few others, including myself, went on a search to find out why. The night we left we got in a fight with a few of the remaining heartless. Two of them weren't seen after that. Two nights later, my friend and the other girl went missing. I continued on, but I got overrun by the heartless and fell unconscious. I found myself here in the morning. That's the short version."
Sora and his mom listened with interest, but Sora understood the feelings and thoughts that were going through her head. He had gone through some of it. When she finished, it was time for Sora's mom to go to sleep so she said her good nights and left the two teens at the table.
"In your time against Ansem, did you ever hear of a keyblade?" Sora watched as she turned her head surprised.
"Yeah, I did. I heard Ansem talking about it quietly with my parents. He said that the wielder of the keyblade had to be stopped. I didn't understand him, but I knew the guy needed help wherever or whoever he was. That was the night that I left." Sora nodded and looked at his empty plate briefly.
"I was the wielder the keyblade. I still do." Sora held out his right hand and a bright light appeared and then turned into a black keyblade.
"This one is called The Oblivion. Moogles in Traverse Town synthesized an Ultima Weapon for me, but I gained The Oblivion after defeating Hollow Bastion, Ansem's Home. I keep it on there most of the time, unless the situation calls for another one." Chasity stared at Sora's eyes as he talked of his keyblade. It was obvious that something bad happened at Hollow Bastion. She could see it in the way that his eyes darkened for a few minutes.
"Sora, tell me about your adventures. I want the long story not the short one."
They grabbed the dishes from the table and placed them in the sink.
"I'll do them in the morning. Let's go up to my room." He took her hand and led her upstairs to his bedroom.
"I cleaned it last night. I'm glad now. If I had known that we would have someone new living with us who would be seeing it, I would have done a better job."
Chasity giggled at him and moved to sit on the bed. She leaned up against the wall and waited for Sora to join her. He watched her watch him in anticipation. Sora sat next to her and grabbed her hand.
He told her everything. He explained his feelings for Kairi, his friendship with Riku, and his feelings with what was going on. He told the story of going to the different worlds and defeating the heartless and followers of Ansem. He, also, told the story of getting everything back to the way it was now and what was going on now. She listened with great interest and squeezed his hand and put her head on his shoulder when appropriate.
He told her everything. It was the first time. He tried telling others, but he always left out how he felt or certain things he still had issues with, especially when it dealt with Riku or Kairi. He told her how he felt then, now, and how he probably will feel about certain things later on. When he finished, she looked up at him and put her hand on his cheek. She let it drift to the back of his head and then pulled his lips down to hers.
Right before their lips touched, they both heard it. They both wanted to ignore it, but it could not be ignored. Riku was tapping on Sora's window. Chasity dropped her head on the wall behind her.
"Ow." Sora laughed lightly at her.
"Go to your room. Riku'll have my head if he finds you in here." He somewhat pushed her away and off the bed. She nodded and left, closing the door behind her. Sora went to open the window for one of his best friends.
Riku climbed in and fell to the floor gracefully. "So, how's living with Chasity?"
Sora watched him as he made his way across the room to a bean bag that Sora had forgotten about.
"It's cool. Mom loves her." Riku nodded as if he had expected it, which he did. Everyone expected it. Sora's mom was one of those women that loved all children, even the mean ones. Riku looked like he wanted to say something, so Sora didn't. In these moments, he knew Riku would say it.
"She's gorgeous. I got to talk to her today while you and Tidus were dueling. She's dark, but she's for the good, I can tell. The darkness in her is calling out for me. I can feel it. I don't know how, but it is. Do you think she feels the same way about me?" Sora wanted to say no, but he didn't want to hurt Riku. He knew that the older boy would think she did, whether she did or didn't, but Sora had a feeling that she didn't like Riku in that way.
"I don't know, man. She could. Who knows?" Riku seemed okay with Sora's response. It was true that Sora didn't know how she felt about Riku and so he didn't want to label it. Sora had done that before with Kairi.
"You know, Sora, Kairi misses you. She says that you've changed, but she still wants to be with you." Riku said, staring at Sora with unwavering eyes. The younger boy nodded, knowing this already.
The problem was that sometime after finding Riku, Sora's feelings had changed. Kairi was the same as ever, but Sora knew he wasn't. He was beginning to feel like Riku did before their adventure. Destiny Islands wasn't the place for Sora anymore.
In the words of Ansem, Destiny Islands was a 'prison surrounded by water.' It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, Sora just felt the need to explore and live with a bit of fun. He wanted to wonder about what would happen tomorrow. Destiny Islands was not that kind of place. Maybe Chasity could offer him a new life. Even if she couldn't leave the Islands, she could give him the wonderment of her.
She was a mystery that he wanted to solve, even if it took the rest of his life.
"Sora, you ok? You drifted off." Riku's eyebrows were furrowed in concern. Sora nodded and frowned.
"I know Kairi wants to be with me. She makes it obvious enough. I just wonder if she really does or just wants a relationship with someone." Sora looked at the wall and sighed. Riku stared questioningly at him. He had never heard Sora talk like that before, especially about Kairi.
"You better get out of here, Riku. You know how your mom is. She awakes with the single mention of your name or the feeling that you aren't home." The older boy nodded, thinking of his over-protective mother.
Ever since 'her' Riku had returned, she'd been coddling him, making sure he was okay every ten minutes and had everything he wanted. They both smiled at each other and said their byes. Riku climbed out expertly and landed on the ground with a soft thud.
Sora changed out of his clothes shortly after Riku left and into a pair of black cotton boxers. He didn't want anything too warm. The summers on the Island were already murder.
He lied down under the sheet on his bed and started thinking of the girl in the room across from him. She was beautiful. Riku noticed just how beautiful she was too. Riku had always been more popular among the girls on the island. "He's older, has beautiful translucent aqua eyes that match his silky silver hair. It all goes so well with his perfect complexion." Selphie had told Sora all about what the girls thought of Riku one day before Riku, Kairi, and Sora started making their raft to leave off the island.
Sora was knocked out of thoughts that were turning into jealousy by a soft knock on the door.
He sat up and asked who was there. "It's me, Chasity."
Sora smiled at the closed door and told her to enter at her own risk. She opened it with a smile on her face and then turned to close it. She turned to face him and then took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up." A soft pink glow formed on her cheeks as she stared at his chest. He smiled larger at her nervousness.
"It's all right, Chasity. What's up?" She let out a breath she had been holding and walked toward his bed. She sat on the end of it and began to explain her predicament.
"You see, in all of the excitement, I forgot I had nothing to wear except the clothes on my back. Do you think I could borrow something to wear to sleep?" Sora's smile reached his ears as he chuckled.
"Of course you can." Sora got up and rummaged through his drawers. He hadn't gone through his drawers since he had gotten back and found a pair of black boxers that were too small. He padded to his closet and found a small plain white shirt.
"Here you go, Chasity. You can have them. They're too small for me. They look as though they would fit you, though. I had them for a few years. I haven't been through my stuff since I left. We can get some money from my mom tomorrow and get you some new clothes. We'll make a day of it." Chasity smiled in return and thanked him profusely.
"You have this weird thing of thanking me for something that doesn't need thanking. What you should do is get ready to shop tomorrow. Do you want to go with Selphie and Kairi?" She looked up at him with wide eyes and shook her head.
"No, can't you come?" He smiled at her and nodded.
"Of course I can. I just figured that you would want a girl present. Go on and get to sleep."
She nodded at him and waved goodbye before leaving. He chuckled and shook his head after she left before lying back down and falling asleep.
