Chapter 8 : Sora
So, the plot is gonna take a back seat for the next two, shortchapters for some character development, from the points of view of Sora and Onihime and the way they are adjusting to their new lives. I will try VERY hard to make this as interesting as possible… : ) please forgive me if I don't!
It has been a week since Onihime started living in my home. It's nothing much, just an apartment in the poorer area of town. Onihime seemed completely shocked when he saw the mess, I don't have much time to clean it, I suppose he is a Lord after all. Weirdly, he spent the first two days cleaning it from top to bottom, when I asked what was possessing him to do such hard work, he told me he had never been allowed to clean at home. I sure wouldn't complain if I never had to work my entire life. Why it is such a priviledge to him is a mystery to me. The Keyblade is telling me I have to watch him, keep two eyes on him whenever I can spare them.The Keyblade seems to have a mind of its own now.
He hasn't been getting in the way of my research, which is really just me wandering around town to all hours of the night spying on people but shhh, yet every time I do dome home he's always awake, worrying about me like a mother hen or something. Although, it is nice to have some company after such a long time alone...so long. Even though I tried not to let it bother me, being shunned by the entire society like that, it's not like it wouldn't get to you.I'm normally quite optimistic, even if I do say so myself, but I started to get really...sad.
I know Onihime isn't really like anyone else here. He seems to accept the darkness in his heart, in everyone's heart, more than anyone else.He is more true to himself I guess. The darkness can be scary, can be frightening when we realise that it's there, sprouting like a flower, but it's important not to shut it out for it is part of all of us. To deny it would be to deny yourself, to live a fake existence. That's what everyone here does. Maybe that's why I got so depressed, I couldn't see how they could fool themselves into thinking that they were pure and clean when it's all right not to be. This whole place makes me feel sad, I want to be back home, with Kairi and Riku. I want it so much that it hurts. I can't stand being cut off here, I don't even know if Riku and King Mickey are still alive after we had to shut them in with those giant Heartless. I hate not knowing anything about them, where they are, what they're doing, what they're feeling, Donald and Goofy too. I miss them a lot, I miss the way they always used to argue, and the way they made me feel better when I was down. I could really use them right now, to tell me I can't have a sad face on the journey! Heh heh, it all seems so long ago, as if it was a dream, as if it never really happened. I can remember, after we ran down that road after Pluto, Pluto just suddenly, disappeared. I looked around and Donald and Goofy weren't there either, I was all alone. The world went dark, and then, I was here. In this city, trapped. It took me a while to get settled in, I still stick out of the crowd a lot though. I dress the way I do because people ignore you, so it's easier to get into places I wouldn't be able to normally.
All this, all this solitude and loneliness, its all for Kairi, and Riku, and Donald and Goofy too, beacuse I just have to see them again.
Kairi, soon I'll be home. Soon. I'm going to keep trying.
Please wait for me Kairi. I won't give up.
