Chapter 12
"Is it so bad for me to know who it is?" Sora asked Shadow, who kept very still and quiet.
Sora looked towards the floor sadly and sighed.
"I-"
"Maybe-"
Both stopped and Sora smiled.
"You go first." Sora told him.
"I didn't want you to start remembering him. He was us. Before we became this." Shadow told him, "But, even though the elders want us to become Kagesora again, I personally like it this way." Shadow truthfully said.
"Kudos to that." Sora smiled.
"I wanted to ask Sora, how did you learn about Kagesora?" Shadow asked curiously.
"I had a dream." Sora said and Shadow looked at him weirdly.
"What kind?" he then asked, worriedly.
"Kagesora was talking to a really young Riku about a baptism. He seemed really exited, but I don't know why since baptisms are only done when a child is born." Sora said, remembering what he was once told.
"Not when Kagesora was born, I'm afraid." they both looked towards the door to see Cloud carrying an unconscious Squall before he threw him on the couch.
"Hey Cloud!" Sora said happily, "What do you mean?"
"The reason the baptisms are done when a child is born is because of Kagesora." Cloud told him.
"Why?" Sora asked and it became eerily silent.
Shadow approached Sora and knelt down in front of him, "Sora, that is something we can't tell you. You yourself have to remember." Shadow told him and Sora could tell he gave him a vague smile.
"Alright…" Sora said sadly, knowing Shadow was already pushing it by telling him anything at all and didn't want Sora to find out more.
"Anyways, I'm going to cook some breakfast. Wanna join me Sora?" Cloud asked Sora, who nodded happily.
Both males left the room followed by Shadow, who was extremely bored at the moment.
… …
"What's wrong Riku? You don't look so good this morning." Kairi stared at Riku with fixed eyes.
"Oh, just thinking about something Shadow told me." Riku glanced at Kairi to see her reaction at all times.
"Shadow?!" Kairi said shocked, "What did he say?" she asked worriedly.
"Oh, nothing much. Just stuff about you and Sora." Riku smirked, though he didn't know why.
"Me? Why me?" Kairi asked confused and a little nervous.
"That I shouldn't trust you. Know why he would say something like that?" Riku now grinned as Kairi paled, yet he didn't know why he put those kinds of reactions on himself.
"Uh…n-no! I… I-I wouldn't k-know…" Kairi stammered.
"Don't worry, I trust you." Riku smiled and pet her.
"Riku…" Kairi looked a bit pained and guilty, though Riku pretended he didn't see it.
"Come on, you're helping me make breakfast right?" he sweetly asked and she nodded, both heading to the kitchen.
… …
"I smell coffee…" Auron lazily entered the kitchen, followed by a sleepy-looking Tidus.
"Good morning you two!!" Sora said happily.
"Oh, hi So-" Auron stopped dead cold at the sight that made even Tidus wake up.
Cloud was wearing an apron, Sora had a bright background behind him and Shadow was drinking, of all things he could be drinking, coffee.
"Since when does Shadow drink coffee?" Auron asked curiously.
"Since forever. You people just wouldn't let me drink it." Shadow glared at them.
"Did you know about this?" Auron asked Cloud and Sora.
"Of course!" Sora said happily.
"I thought you knew." Cloud told him.
Auron glared at him with all the evil glaring daggers he could find.
"Are you cooking pancakes?" Tidus asked.
"Yup. Want some?" Cloud asked.
"Yay! Gimme some!" Tidus sat on the table next to Sora and waited for a plate of pancakes.
"I'll be getting some coffee now." Auron announced and took a cup from the cup drawer so he could have his coffee.
"Hey, Sora. What do you wanna do today?" Tidus asked.
"Dunno. Maybe I'll go play with Selphie before her summer vacation ends." Sora told him.
"Oh, that's right. Selphie's new semester starts soon." Tidus went into thought.
"So, are we going to bother her?" Sora asked and Tidus grinned.
"Of course!" he laughed.
"Here. Next time, come and pick it up yourself." Cloud told Tidus and headed back to cooking more pancakes.
"Is he perhaps angry?" Tidus asked Sora in whispers.
"Yeah. He wants to go play with me, but he has to stay in here all the time." Sora replied, using the same low voice.
"What does he do while he stays here?" Tidus asked shocked.
"Watch tv. Usually just soaps and cartoons." Sora told him and Tidus burst out laughing.
"What happened? Let me join in on the fun!" Auron arrived with his cup of coffee.
Shadow rolled his eyes and thought, 'Idiots…'
Cloud stared at them, confused, then continued on with his job of making breakfast.
… …
Selphie waited patiently for someone to open the door. She could hear voices, but no one seemed to open the door.
That's why she hated going to the elder's house.
"Someone answer that damn door!!!" she heard a male voice scream before someone actually did open the door for her.
"Hello Selphie." Shadow stood in front of the young girl, who then took it upon herself to jump on him and start crying.
Everyone ran towards the door to see who was crying and Sora immediately came to the girl's side.
"Selphie, is everything alright?" he asked worriedly.
"Could someone get her off me?" Shadow asked and Sora nodded but Selphie refused to let go of Shadow.
"Selphie, what's wrong?" Tidus asked worriedly, kneeling next to her.
"Kid, do you want to talk about it?" Auron asked, kneeling next to Tidus.
Selphie made no movement except for her shivering as she cried.
"Selphie?" Sora called as Squall emerged from the living room, muttering curses.
Everyone looked over at him, then at Selphie again. Shadow kept insisting that someone get her off of him.
"What happened here?" Squall asked curiously.
"We don't know." Tidus told him.
"Okay, then." Squall kept looking at them.
But it wasn't until Shadow said something that Squall noticed what happened.
"Oe." Squall called everyone's attention to him, "Why did Ansem attack this girl?" he asked and everyone paled.
"Finally!" Shadow said.
TBC…
