"Here are the letters you requested, doctor. Mr. Strife brought them in from Sora's bedroom." Kairi said as she handed a worn and old shoe box to Riku.
"Thank you, Kairi. And, do you know how Mr. Strife is related to Sora? Or if there's any relation at all?" he took the box and put it under his arm as he leaned against the front desk at the hospital.
Sora had been thrashing about, screaming and crying and trying to say things that didn't make sense. And Riku, trying to be patient because he didn't like the idea of injecting things into patients, tried to calm Sora.. And when that didn't work, he had had no choice.
So now the brunette lay in a hospital room, unconscious for the time being. It had only been an hour or so ago since it had happened, but that stuff wouldn't wear off until later. Riku knew.
"Mr. Strife? Oh, his full name is Cloud Strife, he's Sora's half brother." Kairi paused, "Mr. Strife claimed that Sora had been living on his own until he came down with Split Personality Disorder. At the time, Mr. Strife took his brother back home to take care of him where he then claims that Sora had started writing letters to himself and leaving messages on the phone to himself and e-mailing himself.. He said it was strange because the letters were written by one person, but seemed like two people."
"Usually Split Personality Disorder does seem that way. Do you know if Mr. Strife has any of the messages saved on a tape or anything? I'd like to listen to them.. The e-mails won't be necessary as I already have the letters." Riku let out a light sigh.
"I'll check, doctor." with that said, Kairi turned away from Riku and stalked off back to the waiting room. It was strange to her, if they knew what Sora had, why should he even be in the hospital?
And the answer was easy enough if you looked hard enough.
Riku walked in the other direction, opposite from Kairi. In the meantime, while she gathered the tapes (if there were any), he would look over some of these letters.
Often, he let his patients write in journals to keep track of things. If you had Split Personality Disorder, he often found that the person "slept" a lot and didn't remember things. Like they would kill their cat or set fire to their house and have no idea how it happened because they were "sleeping". But Sora, he seemed different for some reason.. He knew what he had, but it was like he was trying to.. Deny it or something.
Keeping the box tucked carefully under his arm, he walked up the two flights of stairs and down the hallways. The hospital was big and he often found himself getting lost in dark hallways that hadn't been used in years..
Riku stepped into his office and set the box of letters down on his desk. He stalked over to the window and opened the blinds so it wasn't so dingy.. What a funny name for something that allowed light, blinds. Then again, how not so funny, it shut the light out creating darkness.
Sighing, he let his thoughts drift around in his mind as he sat at his desk and looked at the box. It was like an invasion of privacy.. Then again, how private could these letters be? Sora wrote them from himself to himself, even if one of those "hims" wasn't him at all.
Pulling the box closer and removing the lid, he was surprised to see how many letters there were inside. Some letters in blue envelopes and some letters in aqua envelopes. How strange, all of the letters were only these two colors though.
Riku pulled out an aqua envelope, the envelope looked suspiciously like the color of his own two eyes.
The doctor pulled the letter out of the envelope and unfolded it before holding it up in front of his face and just reading the words. The letter was from Sora's other personality.. To Sora..
And as the doctor read on, his mouth dropped in horror. It wasn't really the letter.. It was his name at the end of the letter that got him. His name..
Sora..
You and I aren't meant to be together, Sora. You're holding me back, I'm trying to live life to the fullest.. One of us has to go Sora, and it should be you.. You're the fAkE one. You're the one who isn't rEaL.. You're my other personality.. Don't you hear me! I wanna be fReE! I want to be able to do whatever I want! You're always holding me back! And why do you keep hiding my stuff! Stop putting my things away in the attic! I hAtE you, Sora! I hAtE you! I'll never fOrGiVe you! I'll never fOrGiVe you for inhabiting MY body and trying to shove me out! I want to be fReE! FrEe!
Riku
The doctor sat there as the letter fell out of his hands and onto his desk. Maybe it was just some sort of coincidence that his other personality's name was Riku.. Yes. Coincidence.
He breathed a sigh. It wasn't like Sora's other personality even looked like Riku! Or, maybe he did.. It was confusing. Everything was..
Closing his eyes, he leaned back into his chair letting his thoughts pound on his brain. Why was Sora screaming then? Why wouldn't he calm down when he saw Riku? It was obvious, wasn't it?
But how could.. Something unreal.. Be something.. In real life..?
Author's Note: Yes. Riku has just discovered.. Um.. That weird thing. I don't know really how to put it, sorry for the shortness of the chapter.. Meh.. Um anyway, so Cloud and Sora are half brothers and stuff.. Oh, and to BLACKSHEEEP, I don't know how old Riku is. Um.. I gotta think about it. Age isn't really a factor in this story.. Ok, so, if you want an update, REVIEW.
