Hiya people… Happy Easter here's the next chapter…
Disclaimer… ummm…. no… who started this whole disclaimer thingy anyway? Is it in the rules or something? I mean seriously… Why would someone who owns the game be sitting here, writing about how he thinks KH should have happened, should have ended or how it will continue on?... sorry just thinking out loud anyway, enjoy P
Roxas and I walked down the path leading to school, school bags in hand, I had found one of my old ones for him… neither of us had uniforms though. Earlier that morning I told him where I was going and said he wanted to come… Why someone would WANT to go to school is beyond me but it's not like I could tell him no… come to think of it, I liked school before I first got wisped away from this island… was this hatred for school another effect of… of whatever the heck was bothering me. I did want to see some of my friends though…
The school came into view as we walked and I sighed. Roxas just kind of laughed at me. "You know Sora, I remember DiZ saying to me just before you woke up in twilight town… that you were to kind for your own good… kind of ironic now don't you think?" Roxas said this completely seriously for some reason.
We arrived at school which hadn't quite started yet so everyone was in the court yard just hanging out and talking about their summers. As me and Roxas arrived everything went quite… people just kind of stared at us… well stared at me. Then suddenly there was a bum rush of people and I was circled in a rather large crowd.
"It's Sora!"
"Where'd you go?"
"What happened to you?"
"I heard you got kid napped!"
"Everyone thought you had died!"
I was bombarded with all sorts of questions and comments as people gathered around me in disbelief that I was here. Then over the crowd somebody shouted "Sora! Whose that with you!" and for some reason everyone went quiet expecting an answer. I looked at Roxas who looked at me as though pleading for a stick to beat them back with. "This is uhh… Roxas…" and then thank god because before any more could happen Riku and Kairi showed up.
"Alright, move aside, give 'em some room to breathe, nothing to see here people" Riku said as though he were security or something. After a few minute we managed to dissolve the crowd. We headed into the school and to our lockers. Mine and Kairi's were nearly right next to each other while Riku's was a bit further down. Roxas didn't have one yet so he waited by the office for me so we could get him in to class. I put my stuff in to my locker and turned to head for Roxas when Kairi grabbed my arm… I had so wanted to avoid her today.
"Sora… about last night I--"
I cut her off "Kairi… please don't"
"But Sora… alright." she said sadly, turning and walking off to go meet up with Riku. I sighed again and went to Roxas as the bell rang. After a tedious hour we got Roxas a schedule, we also got uniforms ordered for us both.
We headed to our first class, though it was just about over so we weren't in there long. This was the only class me and Roxas had together. After it ended I headed to my locker to exchange some books, when I closed it I found Kairi standing there. I gave her a grin and she returned it, though things were still a little bit awkward between us with everything that was going on. We both had study hall now so we walked to class together. We took seats right next to each other but most of the period we just sat there. We did what little work we had from our first period class but other than that we had nothing to do. Finally Kairi whispered to me to break the silence and boredom but she went to the topic of last night again… "Sora, about last night…"
"Kairi, please, I thought we talked about this, this morning"
"Sora, we have to talk about it. How can we help you with whatever you're being attacked by when you won't let anyone talk about it! Please… besides, all I want to say is I'm not angry or anything like that about last night…"
For some reason, this relieved me almost completely… I felt as though a great burden had been lifted to know she wasn't mad at me… "Thanks Kairi… I. I'm sorry I just don't like what I'm turning into…"
She nodded and we both sighed. "So can I come over today?" she asked with a smile
I looked away "Not today Kairi" She gave me a pouting look "Sora, do we have to have that whoooooole conversation again? Don't push me away"
"Kairi it's hard… Last night, I almost hurt you… I'm afraid Kairi, so afraid of what I might do to you next. I NEVER want to hurt you"
She sighed and leaned her head onto my shoulder. "Sora… If your light is being so shrouded by this darkness then please, let me be around you to give you my light."
I felt myself turn red, yet I managed to put my arm around her and surrender "Alright Kairi, but promise me something, If I loose control again, I want you to get as far away from me as possible. I don't know what I would do with myself if anything happened to you… especially if it was me who did it."
I could tell she struggled with that a little but she finely agreed "Alright… but till then I get to stay with you."
From that point on there was no more awkwardness between us. We went back to talking about anything and everything for that period. Though a few times a teacher would come over and tell us to be quiet. The bell rang and we headed to lunch, meeting up with Riku along the way. When we got to the cafeteria we spotted Roxas, who seemed to be quite popular. He was already at a table sitting with a bunch of other people. When he saw us he waved and gestured for us to come over. We walked over and found he'd saved three seats for us so we sat.
As I sat down I got more stares from everyone at the table, obviously wanting an explanation from me about where I'd been. "Well Roxas looks like your first day is going well."
"Ha-ha, yeah, I guess so."
"Had any problems finding your way around?"
At that point a girl I didn't recognize who was sitting next to Roxas spoke up "Nope he hasn't had any trouble at all! I've been helping him!" She stated as though she deserved an award or something. Roxas laughed. "This is Arai. She's helped me find my way around so far." I couldn't help but snicker "Got yourself a girlfriend already huh?" I teased. "Nah we're just friends already" he said casually, laughing a little, while Arai on the other hand turned bright red, shaking her head "N…no, nothing like that, besides, I have a boy friend already" She said, obviously embarrassed as everyone at the table laughed. "So are you and Roxas related or something Sora?" Arai asked, her face going back to normal. Roxas and I had already agreed on our story and it's what we told the school to get Roxas in. "He's my brother"
"Sora!" Some one from behind me shouted before Arai continue asking questions. I turned to see three of my old friends… the other trio that use to hang out on the little island… Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka. "It is Sora! And Riku to!" Tidus shouted as they ran up to us.
The rest of the day went smoothly. I went to my third period class which Kairi was also in along with Tidus and Selphie. Not much happened, so when it ended I made my way to fourth period which Kairi Riku and I all had together. After that school got out and we were free! As we collected our things to leave, Riku said he had some things he needed to stay after school for and that we could go on home without him. We met up with Roxas who was still with Arai. He said he was heading to her house to study with her. That left Kairi and me to walk home alone so we set out from the school.
"Hey Sora, let's go to the island!" Kairi suddenly said as we walked home. I hadn't been there since I had gotten back from my last adventure, which was awhile ago. I smiled at her and nodded, as she giggled, grabbing my hand and breaking into a run. "I'll race you there I said, jumping into my boat as we reached the shore.
"Not fair! You got a head start!" She yelled, jumping into her own boat and taking off. I made it to the makeshift dock we had there first and jumped out of my boat, onto land. As she got there a struck a victory pose and she laughed. I helped her out of her boat and we began walking around silently, just remembering the older days. After awhile we wandered our way into the cave we use to call "The secret place" we talked about all the drawings and when they were put there. Some of them had funny stories behind them. Then our eyes fell upon the one special drawing, the one of us, with the edition of giving each other poupu fruit. As I stared at it, I suddenly realized… Kairi wasn't just a really close friend to me and she wasn't like a sister to me… I was in love with her. I looked at Kairi for a moment and that combined with my thoughts made me turn red again as I quickly looked away before she could notice.
I calmed my self down as I thought about it more, somehow I came to the conclusion that I should tell her. Suddenly she grabbed my hand and leaned against which only made me more embarrassed. Still, I wanted her to know.
"Kairi?" I broke the silence.
"Hmm?" she murmured
"Kairi… I… I'm uhhh…"
She giggled a little, oblivious to what I was trying to do "You're what Sora?"
"I'm in L---" And at that point I got cut off as she shrieked. Darkness began to spawn around us. I squeezed her hand tightly and began to pull her out of the cave. The darkness followed us outside and on to the beach. It surrounded us and all I could think of at that point was to protect Kairi. My hand began to glow as I went down into a fighting stance, light shooting out a short way from my hand and taking form. The light burst away and in its place was my key blade in the form of oath keeper.
I stared at the darkness around us as it then gathered in front of me, Kairi quivering in fear behind me. The darkness began to rise from the ground and take shape as I stood ready. I suddenly felt that anger again, the anger that was controlling my mind again. I wanted destroy this thing now; I wanted to utterly obliterate it. I could feel my rage building to a point I didn't know existed.
Cliff hanger!
I wish I could get a few more reviewers ; ;
No point to writing this if no one's reading.
Anyway I'll try to get another chapter up soon.
