Chapter 6: Rainy Sunday

I looked up at the window from the notepad I was writing on. It was still raining hardly. I couldn't call anyone because the phone lines are down. I just set my notepad on my side table and lay back in my bed. I feel bad that me mom has to work on Sundays. It's like, she never gets any time off. I sighed and turned on the TV. I was so grateful that the Simpsons were on. It's just that whenever it rains, it makes me depressed. I guess it's because Destiny Islands isn't meant to be seen in stormy weather. Plus, it could get lonely since I wouldn't have anything to do or anyone to hang out with. I decided to just ignore the rain and just laugh whenever Homer or Bart Simpson did something stupid. I watched for 5 minutes, then the commercials came on. I decided that was good time to make hot chocolate. As I walked over to the stove, the doorbell rang. Who would come up to the door in stormy weather like this? The person at the door kept on ringing it, so I could tell it was someone who needed help. I quickly walked over and answered the door. I gasped as I saw Sora! He was all soaked and shivering.

" Sora? What're you doing here?" I asked with concern.

" C-could I c-come in? I f-forgot my house k-key. And I c-can't g-get inside t-till my p-parents g-get b-back from w-work." Sora said shivering.

" Yes of course." I stepped by and let him inside. " I'll get some blankets."

I was surprised! Of all people, Sora would come to ME when he was locked out of his house? Well, he could've also just came because I just live next door. I opened the cabinet upstairs and pulled out some blankets that my mom and I use for storms and cold weather. I also made a trip to the kitchen and turned off the stove because the hot water was done boiling. Then, I just realized that Sora was still soaked and freezing! I walked over to where Sora was sitting and gave him a blanket.

" Here, you'll feel warmer after you put one of these on. Boy, you got a lot of water in your hair." I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a cup so he could squeeze some of the water out of his hair. Boy, he must have been soaked. The water that he had filled the whole cup.

" Thanks." Sora thanked me as he put the cup on the coffee table in front of us. " Does your fireplace work?"

" Oh yes, of course!" I walked over and turned on the fire. " Hot chocolate?"

" Sure." I walked over and made two mugs of hot chocolate for us. " Here you go. But careful, it's still a little hot."

" Okay." Sora said as he took his cup.

" So, what were you doing out in stormy weather like this?" I asked.

" I promised to help Riku build a bird house for his grandmother." Sora laughed in embarrassment. " Ouch."

" What's wrong? Did you burn yourself?"

" No. It's just that I accidentally cut my hand while sawing wood." Sora took off one of his fingerless gloves and showed me. It looked quite deep.

" Damn, I should get you the first-aid kit." I set down my cup of cocoa and walked up to the first-aid kit was. I opened the cabinet and pulled it out. I walked quickly downstairs and took out the personal things I needed for his cut. " Give me your hand." I took Sora's hand and put medicine on a cotton ball and then wiped on his cut. I could tell his stung him a bit because of the groan he made. " I know it stings, but it will help, I promise." I took a cloth and wrapped it around the palm of his hand. I then put his glove back on him. " There you go."

" Whoa, thanks. Is you mom a doctor or something?" Sora asked.

" No. My dad was, but we lost him."

" I'm sorry. How did it happen?"

" I was 12 when it happened. It was a stormy day like this, and he was driving to the hospital one day, but, when he turned the windshields on, they broke and he couldn't see where he was going. And then, it happened. The cops came to our house and told us that we lost my dad. I never saw him again." A tear rolled down my cheek.

" Man, it sucks to lose your parents. It hasn't happened to me, but my mom and dad got divorced. I'm living with my real dad now. Three years ago, he got married to another woman. So, I'm living with my dad and step mom." Sora sighed. " I haven't seen my mother since I was 8. I just…hope I can see her again before she goes or at least before I get so old that she doesn't recognize me."

" I do too. Well, you want to watch some TV?" I asked changing the subject.

" Sure." I grabbed the remote and turned to what was now King of the Hill. We just sat back and relaxed on the couch. Later, my mom finally came home from work.

" Gosh! There hasn't been such a bad storm like this since that October when you were 15, Kairi." Mom came in and saw Sora and I watching television. " Hello?"

" Oh, Mom, this is Sora. He lives next door. He's just staying over here for a while until his parents come home from work." I said.

" I sort of…forgot my house key and so…I'm locked out." Sora explained.

" Oh, well go ahead and continue what you're doing then." My mom just walked into the kitchen.

We finally got bored of watching TV and went upstairs to my room. We played on my PS2. I turned on the system. I asked Sora if he's ever heard of, Kingdom Hearts. He said he's heard of it, but he's never played it. He has a Nintendo GameCube. I popped in the KH1 disc and the menu came up. I could swear Sora looks just like the main character. Oh well, he played the game for a while and was actually enjoying it. He even enjoyed Donald and Goofy when they started to appear in the game. He died only once while playing, which was when he fought Guard Armor, but he was doing expert mode. He decided to switch games and play Street Fighter Anniversary edition. When the character selection thing popped up, we chose our guys. Sora played the game before on his uncle's Super Nintendo. I picked Ken and he picked Guile. Sora was actually good with him. He would keep on nailing me with his sonic boom attack, but I just counterattacked with Ken's famous "haduken" ability. Eventually, Sora looked out and saw that his parents finally arrived.

" Hey, my parents are back." Sora said as he put down his controller.

" Okay, I'll see you at school tomorrow."

" Right, oh, and thanks." Sora grinned.

" Your welcome." I blushed and giggled a bit. Sora nodded and then walked out.

" Oh, Kairi, could you walk with me? I don't have an umbrella."

" Okay, sure." I grabbed my umbrella and walked out with Sora. We arrived at his house. " Okay, see you tomorrow."

" Yeah." I watched as Sora walked back into his house.

I walked back home happily. I just walked upstairs and lay there on my bed. As I did, I looked out the window and saw that the storm had cleared up. Man, what a day!
