Chapter One: Unexpected Visitors
NO! I mean . . . Ahem. Welcome back. Well, this is what has been going on since you left me for your much needed sleep. Kairi is still pissed at me because she found out that it was my fault that a page from her diary was posted in the school paper every day for the last week of school. She hasn't talked to me since the first page came out though. Heh. Well, it's a few days before my birthday and my mother is planning a trip off of Destiny Island. VICTORY!
Ahem . . .
My mom walks in the room with something to complain about. A typical mother.
"Riku dear," she said while turning on the light.
"Hmm?" I groaned then rolled over.
"Wake up! It's dinner time." she said taking my blankets and pillows.
"No." I said grabbing my pillow back from her.
"I can't believe you!" she reclaimed my pillow and messing up my perfect bed head with it.
"Kairi!" I yelled jumping up from my sleep.
"Have you lost your mind? Were you even awake when I entered your room?"
"Oh, hi mom." I said with that innocent-I-have-no-idea-what-you're-talking-about look we spoke of in our last encounter..
"Just come downstairs, dinner's ready." She left, and then I grabbed my blankets and pillow and slept for a few more minutes. It wasn't really needed since I've been sleeping all day, but hey, whatever.
.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.
I finally made it down to the dinner table. That's one goal completed for the day. Anyways, Sora and his parents were at the table along with my parents. O.O I guess they were joining us for dinner? -.- My parents looked at me in complete shock. Not my fault I just woke up and I always do this when it's just the three of us. They removed me from their sight and insisted that I completely clothe myself before returning to the table. I guess Sora's parents didn't want to see my perfect body. But, this would give me a great reason to go back to sleep.
.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.
I put on a t-shirt and shorts and headed back towards the dinning room. My parents started inspecting me from a far, trying not to let Sora's parents know that I had entered the room again behind them. I saw that they were trying to see what I was wearing so I spun around, as if I were modeling the outfit. I was waiting for an announcer to say something about the shirt being a higher price than the shorts or a designer shirt or something. But, I supposedly can't match or wear "appropriate" clothes when we have company. I mean.. GAH! Wake me up before company gets here or tell me ahead of time. In the encounter my mother and I had in the room, no mentioning of company was... well.. mentioned. And I have proof... somewhere. Besides the fact, I got the "Ok" from my parents and entered the meal. We were having some kind of chicken I guess, but it doesn't look all that edible. But when I thought about it, none of my mother's food ever looks edible. So I sat next to Sora on the opposite side of my parents. Sora looked discussed with the food also, but after his mother made it clear that if he didn't eat it that he would regret it, he took a bite. One bite after the other, he devoured it in a matter a few minutes. But I was still looking at mine. I didn't know if I was suppose to eat it or put a collar on it and take it for a walk. My mom looked at me. This look spoke so she didn't have to. It said "Eat it or you'll go hungry" in a taunting kind of way. O.O No, Riku needs food for energy. Without energy, I would be naught but a lifeless shell. A hot one I might add.
Ahem.
.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.
After the adults left, Sora and I stayed at the table. The food still in front of me.
"Why wont you just eat it so we can leave the table?" Sora asked breaking the silence.
"Because." I said, but that wasn't good enough. He looked at me, wanting me to continue.
"...because?" He's acting like my mother. -.-'
"I swear it's going to jump up and attack me face." I said answering Sora's question.
He giggled and suggested stealing something out of the fridge and throwing the chicken away. I liked the idea, so I took the food out to my dog, Shadow, and let him eat it so that my mother couldn't find it. HA! I'm smart. Speaking of cookies, we grabbed a jar before heading to my room. We both were confused about what our parents were talking about, but I didn't have a good feeling about it. But while they were conspiring against us, we were returning a favor. Not really, I was making Sora help clean up my room. I sat on my bed while he threw clothes into a basket. It was a returned favor. I helped him, he helps me. Equivalent exchange. Thank you Elric brothers.
.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.
Sora and I were finished, my mother walked in. I quickly went under my bed. Not sure why, it was just so.
"Riku what are you doing?" she asked completely confused.
"Nothing," I said muffled. I didn't fit under my bed, so my head was the only thing hidden.
"Sora your parents are waiting for you downstairs." Sora stood up, said goodbye and left the room.
"Wye." I said.
"Why what?" my mother asked
"I said bye." I corrected her while pulling my head out from under the bed.
"Oh." she said.
She left my room and went to say her goodbyes to the leaving guests. I went downstairs also to do the same. Sora waved as his parents escorted him out with them. My mother shut the door behind them.
"Riku? Will you find a pen for me?" asked father.
"Sure." I replied heading toward my room.
I went to the escritoire (went to the dictionary, found a word I liked, put it in there!) near my closet. It was hidden underneath papers and old school work. I opened the top drawer and looked for a pen. Finally I found a bright red one. I walked downstairs and halfway down, tossed the pen to father and walked into the livingroom were I met with mother who had some kind of surprise for me. I kind of tottered (again, a word I liked from the dictionary) into the room, making it clear that I was still half asleep. She shook her head and insisted that I took a seat before I fell flat on my beautiful face.
"Riku, that trip we were talking about," mother started. "...We decided that we were going to go visit your cousin.
"Which one is that again?" I asked. As far as I knew, all of my cousins were dead to me.
"Sephiroth," father answered for her. He was writing on with the pen that I retrieved for him.
Mom nodded her head in agreement. O.O He didn't live far away before, but after school ended he moved, off of Destiny Island, out of my life. I think he moved to Tennessee or something. Wait... a trip to Tennessee? That sounds like so much fun. -.- yeah...
They stared at me. Waiting for me to say that I would love to go visit Sephy, but that's not what I had in mind.
"Tennessee sounds... fun... (I guess)" I said standing up and exiting to room.
They knew very well that I wasn't happy about spending ten weeks with Sephiroth. But the experience in Tennessee would be the worse thing ever. The state that has their own language.
Anyways... I'm going back to bed. Leave me alone.
