Chapter 1: Numb

Song:

Numb by Linkin Park

Regular P.O.V.

"GET UP NOW!" SMACK The sound of a kendo shinai piercing human flesh could be heard all, echoing through the hardwood training room. A boy 14 years of age was on the ground sheding tears of pain while his dad was smacking him on the back. His Flaming brown hair was ruffled up and his cerulean eye's were bloodshot.

"I SAID GET UP!" SMACK "NO SON OF MINE WILL BE A WEAKLING! SMACK SMACK Sora's back was burning like hell. He has had many small scars in his life from playing "Adventure" with Riku and the gang but these scars were long, dark scars that he would have forever on his back. Whenever Sora fell to the ground during "Training" his dad would alway's hit him when he was down.

"You'll never beat that boy if you keep this up!" SMACK Sora slowly stood up getting into defensive position, getting ready for the next blow.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless lost under the surface

Don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

SMACK "I hope thats not the best you can do..." Sora's dad said as he walked out of the Dojo. Sora whipped away the blood from his mouth and layed on the floor. His face was really hurting from the last blow. He then took off his shirt to wrap up the new scars he just got. After wrapping them in bandages, he took off to Destiny Islands to meet his friends.

Destiny Islands

Sora P.O.V.

"The yellow sand, bright blue ocean, the ocean breeze I love it here." Sora thought. "The only thing wrong is dad..." There wasen't much to do right now cause he was the first person on the island. I dropped down onto the warm sand, drowning in my thoughts. "What does my dad wan't me to do? Everything I do is wrong to him. All I really want to do is be with my friends." I felt the ocean breeze sweep over me as I drifted off to sleep.

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take

"Hey get up!" I yawned and sat up to see my friends crowded around me. They were all here; Wakka, Tidus, Selphie, Riku, and Kairi. "Hey guys whats up?' I asked while looking up with a grin.

"You've been sleeping all day again, ya?" Wakka asked while spinning his blitzball on his finger.
"So we thought you should get some exercise in!" Sephie exclaimed while holding a scoreboard up that said 0-5.
"And you know what that means right?" Tidus asked, holding up a wooden sword.
"Please say were gunna play blitzball, please say were gunna play blitzball.." I thought hopefully.
"SWORD FIGHTING!" Selphie exclaimed
"Crap..."
"Okay whatever," I said while getting up, "let's get to the paopu island." I told them while brushing the sand off my shorts.

Everyone ran off to the bridge except for Riku. Riku didn't like doing anything unless there was compitition involved. I didn't feel like running either so I just walked along side him with my hands behind my head. "maybe if I win, dad won't push me as much." I scratched my back but it stinged like hell, "these one's hurt a lot for some reason"
"Hurry up man," Riku said looking back
"Huh? Oh I must of spaced out for a second," I said grinning
"What's with that bump on your cheek?" he asked, "It looks bruised"
I raised my hand and he was right, there was a bump.
"Ohh.. I ummm...fell down the stairs today and landed on my face," I said "Don't worry about it." I grinned
"This mask is the only thing protecting me. No one can know about my real life..."
"Comon the others are waiting," I said running off.

Regular P.O.V.

Riku Started walking towards the bridge that connected to Paopu Island. He was thinking over and over again about those words that Sora said.
"Sora doesn't even have stair's in his house," he thought, "Acually there are no stairs around the main Island all...Why would he lie about it..."
Everyone was sitting around the tiny island waiting for Riku to show up. Kairi and Sora were sitting on a Paopu tree while the others stood arounf getting ready.
"Ok Sora," Selphie said, "You get to fight Riku this time."
"Ohh jee I never would have guessed," Sora said sarcasticly. He jumped out of the tree grabbing his sword and stood in the middle. Riku walked into the the middle changing from best friend to Rival. Two best Friends since they could remember, were about to go head to head, just because, well...what else are they gunan do on a island. It doesn't matter if who your fighting, you just have to win. Kill or be killed, Survival of the fittest. They both wanted to impress Kairi so losing wasen't a option.

"Okay ready?" Kairi raised her hand into the air. Riku just stodd there holding his sword in his right hand, while Sora crouched to the ground gripping the handle with both hands. Sora knew Riku would attack the moment Kairi said "GO!" "huh..."

Sora quickly raised his his sword to block the strike ment for his head. Riku was moving as fast as lightning attacking Sora. Sora managed to perry one of Riku's attacks and sent him a fury of his own attacks. Sora managed to knock him down but Riku quickly sprung off the ground and kicked him him the stomach.

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I've become so tired so much more aware

I'm becoming this all I want to do

Sora was so used to pain that he got up right away and charged at Riku. Riku help up his sword as Sora brought his down upon it. They applied as much pressure as the could trying to push each other back.
"I hope thats not the best you got," Riku said. Images of Sora's dad poured into his mind as anger and hatred took over his body. Sora moved his foot behind Riku's ankle and swept his feet making Riku fall with full force. Sora put his sword over Riku's heart signaling he one.
"Nope not really," Sora grinned holding out his hand to Riku. Riku grabbed his hand and hoisted himself up.
"You got better" Riku told him
'Nah I got lucky" Sora said while scratching the back of his head.

Is be more like me and be less like you

"Alright guys I got to go for today," Sora said running off towards the dock, "I'll see you all tomorrow!"

One by one, all the kids got in there boats and rowed of home to the main island untill it was just Riku and Kairi.
"You know, Sora's been acting weird latly," Riku stated
"Yea, he kicked your butt soooo bad today hehe" Kairi giggled
"No, Im serious," Riku said shaking his head, "I think I saw a flash of anger in his eyes when we were sparring."
"Really?" Kairi asked
"Yea, he even lied to me today." Riku moved his hand to rest his head on it, " he said he got that bump on his cheek from falling down the stairs but, Sora doesn't have stairs."
"Whoa, Sora sucks at lying," Kairi said looking towards the main island.
"Yea but thats Sora for you," Riku turned his head towards the raft. "Maybe he just want's to leave soon."
"Maybe, but I'll go check up on him tomorrow," Kairi said standing up, "I'll even make him a bento," They both walked towards there boats ready to go home. They exchanged good bye's and started rowing home.

Main Island, Sora's House

Sora sat in silence, eating his dinner. When he got home, his mom was off for another over nighter so it was just him and his dad.
"So, your mother told me you beat that Riku kid in a match today," Sora's dad said not looking up, "is this true?"
"Yes sir..." Sora said quitely, afraid to look up.
"Good," Sora dad said before talking another bite.
"Yes! No more late night training!" Sora thought happily.
"We're going to train extra hard tomorrow, so get up early."
"WHAT!" Sora yelled slamming my fist on the table, " I already beat him, what more do you want from me!"

Can't you see that you're smothering me

Holding too tightly afraid to lose control

Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you

"Your already ahade of him, don't sink back to a weakling!" Sora's dad yelled back.
"I don't care about being Strong!" Sora excalimed ,"Why are you like this now? " Out of know where, Sora's dad got up from the table and punched him in the stomach. Sora didn't even have enough time to react.
"Don't ever yell at me again," Sora's dad picked up his plate and walked off.
Sora fell back into his chair with his head on the table.

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take

"Damnit..." He said while drifting off into unconcious, " I hate this place..." Sora fainted

And I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I've become so tired so much more aware

I'm becoming this all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you

Well there you go, first chapter complete. Let me know If I should continue or just stop where im at.
