Episode 4: Angels get lonely Too
Most of you guys must know how Sora feels. How it feels to watch from the sidelines as the woman you love kisses another guy. How she only thinks about him and barely notices you exist. That's the way Sora feels right about know. He's watching Kairi and Riku make out. Sure it shouldn't be a big deal, but Sora loves this woman and here she is kissing someone else. But he realized that that was selfish to want Kairi to himself. Besides, she could never fall for him.
Kairi walked into the room and sat on the bed.
" Have fun on your date?" Sora asked sounding a little annoyed.
" Yeah, we went to-"
" Gee, I'd love to swap stories with you Kairi but I've got to... read this book" Sora said. He picked up a random book off the shelf and began reading it. It was a love story.
" Just what I need!" Sora thought. He tossed the book back onto the shelf and closed his eyes.
" What's wrong with you Sora? You seem irritable lately. And you've eaten about ten gallons of ice cream today" Kairi asked looking concerned.
" Like you care, all you can think about is Riku" Sora said not looking at her.
" That's not true!" Kairi said angrily.
" What happened yesterday?" Sora asked.
" Riku and I-"
" See what I mean? Ever since you guys started dating you've only thought about him and nothing else" Sora said, " You've been so captivated with Riku that you've barely paid any attention to anyone else. I see you at lunch. You sit with Riku, away from all your friends. Selphie's left about 200,000 messages and sent 300 emails! But the only thing you read is Riku's love letters, which arrive regularly! Why have you stopped caring about people? What's the matter with you? Riku's not such a great guy anyway!"
" You don't even know him! He's a great guy!"
" Yeah, he's great. He takes you places; buys you stuff, and makes you feel like a queen!"
" He's doesn't buy me stuff!"
" Really? So he didn't buy you the digital camera, cell phone, purse, jacket, dress for the dance, and the rest of that stuff that you've mysteriously got over the past 3 days!"
" Why are you acting like this Sora? It's really mean and selfish of you!"
" Maybe I care! Maybe I don't like Riku! What do you care? You won't here a word against Riku!"
" You're such a jerk!" Kairi said storming out of the room.
" Great, this is just perfect. What have I done this time? Now the girl I'm supposed to be protecting hates me" Sora said sadly. He opened a carton of Rocky Road and began shoveling it down. He flipped on Oprah and stared blankly at it for three hours. All the things he'd said were out of jealousy.
" I'm a lousy guardian. No wonder Kairi doesn't pay any attention to me. I'm supposed to be happy for her and instead I jump all over her" Sora said with his mouth full of ice cream. Full intending to apologize to Kairi, Sora flew out the open window. He saw Riku walking with Kairi. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the girl wasn't Kairi. It was some blond haired girl. I also noticed that they were holding hands.
" I knew that there was something wrong with that Riku guy" Sora said. Then, Riku kissed the blond haired girl. Sora flew down and landed behind them.
" I've gotta go babe, the reject wants me to come over" Riku said.
" Okay, I'll see you tomorrow" the girl said blowing him a kiss.
" KAIRI!" Sora said bursting through the door.
" What do you want?"
" Look, I'm sorry for acting mean and nasty. I should be happy for you. But the good news is that it's okay!"
" It is?"
" Yes! Because I just saw Riku kissing some blond haired girl wearing a white dress." Sora waited for Kairi's reaction.
" Wow Sora. I never thought you'd make something up just to try and break Riku and me up!" Kairi said.
" What? I'm not trying to break you and Riku up! I'm trying to keep you from getting hurt!" Sora said.
" Yeah right. I thought I knew you Sora" Kairi said, " Now get out. Riku's coming over to help me study."
" Yeah, well screw you then! When you find Riku kissing another girl behind your back, don't come crying to me!" Sora shouted. He then angrily flew out the window and disappeared from sight.
" I can't believe she didn't believe me! How could she think I'd lied?" Sora asked himself. Little by little, Sora calmed down. Eventually, he felt really bad. He couldn't believe that he and Kairi had fought like that. But still, Riku was cheating on her and she wouldn't believe him. Somehow, he'd expose Riku and prove to Kairi that he'd been telling the truth. For now though, he'd pretend like he'd never seen it. He'd apologize, revive his friendship with Kairi, then expose Riku.
Just as Kairi wished, Sora didn't return until Riku had left. That was at about 3 in the morning. Once he was down the street, Sora flew into the window.
" Hey, Kai" he began, " I'm sorry about, what I said."
" I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have gotten so mad just because you don't like Riku" Kairi said.
" Friends?" She said.
" As close as an angel and human can get!" Sora said hugging her.
You squeeze your right hand, as if to reassure yourself
Go on, take those annoying rules and dash them away!
If it comes down to having to rest your wounded feet,
You've got to keep moving forward, if only just a step!
We've pushed our way through the twisting winds,
Gotten beyond the cold sky,
But yet we still continue to wander on.
We always find ourselves crying out.
Just continuing to believe is not the answer
We must bare our weaknesses and wounds,
And continue to struggle, or nothing will ever turn out!
Break on through to the other side of the door!
To the other side of the door!
(A/N: This song is the ending theme to Fullmetal Alchemist. It's called "Tobiru no Mukou e" and it's property of Yellow Generation. Although Sora claims to have written it that is in no way true.)
That is what Kairi found in Sora's journal. A note beside it told that Sora and his girlfriend had written it. Tears stained the name, so Kairi had no idea who she was. In Japanese, the song sounded beautiful. Okay, maybe reading her guardian angel's journal at four in the morning was a little dishonest, but Kairi really wanted to know what Sora was thinking. She turned the page and read:
Well, I made up with Kairi. I guess I can go back to figuring out a way to expose Riku. He's hurting Kairi and she doesn't even know it! Oh, and by the way Kairi, look up.
" Huh?" Kairi said puzzled. She looked up and saw staring at her.
" Having fun?" He asked. Kairi gulped and handed him the notebook.
" All right, lets hear it" Sora said.
" I just wanted to know what you've been thinking. Lately you've been acting very strange" Kairi said.
" It's nothing; I'm just doing a lot of thinking..." Sora said staring out the window.
" Oh, I was just worried about y-"
" You know I wasn't always an angel. I too was human at some point. I don't know how many years ago the memory in my head is, I just know that it actually happened" Sora interrupted.
" What's it about?" Kairi asked.
" It's about..." Sora paused and took a deep breath, " My death."
(Flashback)
" I guess its a little weird going out with you" said the girl.
" I know, I've never had a girlfriend before and I really love you -----" Sora said. For some reason, her name was blocked out. Sora looked both ways and crossed the street.
" Good night!" He waved. The girl blew him a kiss and went into her house. Sora looked like he was on top of the world. Kairi had never seen him this happy before. He was whistling, humming, and he walked with a jump in his step. Kairi was watching this next to the real Sora. They were floating above the scene.
" I don't understand you look so happy. How'd you die?" Kairi asked. Sora pointed to a blue car heading down the same direction Sora was coming.
" Remember how I told you that I died when a drunk driver hit me with his car?" Sora asked. Kairi nodded uncertainly.
" Well, I lied" Sora said. He motioned for her to watch. Two men stepped out of the car and walked in front of Sora, blocking his path.
" Hey, out of the way!" Memory Sora said. One of the guys pulled a gun and pointed it straight at Sora.
" Give us your money, punk" the gunman ordered. Sora reached in his pockets and pulled out his wallet.
" I hope you got enough for us" the second robber said. Sora tossed them his wallet. They looked through it; pulled out three twenty dollar bills, and threw the wallet back at Sora. It hit him in the face.
" Thanks for the money" the first robber said.
" No get out of here" the second robber said. Sora turned and ran in the opposite direction. The second gunman pulled a gun and..
(End Flashback)
" Oh my god" Kairi said quietly.
" That's the last thing I remember from being a human" Sora said. He was nearly crying, so was Kairi.
" They killed me simply because I..." Sora broke down crying. Kairi tried to comfort him, but he wouldn't stop sobbing.
" And the worst part is, I never got to say good bye to that girl. Now I can't even remember her name" Sora said starting to cry even harder.
The Next day,
" After that, I sort of drifted around Heaven. I couldn't stop feeling depressed and I watched helplessly as that girl took her own life because I wasn't around" Sora said.
" Then, you met her in Heaven?" Kairi asked hopefully.
" No. Those who commit suicide don't live amongst the rest. They are placed in a different district" Sora said. Kairi looked down, still trying to soak it all in.
" I can't imagine going through something like that" she said.
" You won't have to. That's why I became a guardian angel. So that I could protect people from my fate! I swear I won't let anything happen to you Kairi, I swear on my life" Sora said.
" I believe you Sora" Kairi said.
