Chapter 7
Kira awoke the next morning feeling like a piece of crap. She couldn't move out of bed. Her body was sore all over, especially her right shoulder and back. She didn't expect the pain from the Awakening to last overnight. How very wrong she was.
She slowly dragged herself out of bed after ten minutes of bearing the feeling that was pain. She walked into the bathroom and stripped off her sleepwear. She turned her back to the mirror and glanced at the wound. A scar now ran down from her right shoulder blade to a few inches away from the middle of her spine.
She frowned. She needed to raise her guard if she wanted to survive. As she turned the shower knob on, she saw something on the tile floor. She bent down to find a necklace. It was a silver chain with a matching silver crown attached to it. Sora wore the same necklace.
She smiled as she stepped into the shower. The water eased the soreness she was feeling from her fight with Darkside. She shampooed her hair and rinsed herself off. She stepped out of the shower and wrapped a green towel around her body. She plugged in her blow dryer and dried her hair.
When she finished, she stared in the mirror again. Her hair was a curly brown mess. She hated it so much. The curly do wasn't her thing. She got her straitening iron and flattened her hair to flawlessly smooth hair.
She grabbed the necklace and placed it around her neck. She now saw not only her reflection but also Sora's. She said, "Thank you. It's really pretty."
He couldn't stop himself from grinning. "I'm glad you like it. It represents our bond to each other as the same being. If you ever need me, just yell."
"I will." He disappeared from the mirror. She ran into her bedroom and opened her underwear drawer to find a matching white lace bra and panty set. She removed the towel and slid them on.
As she walked to her closet, she tripped into the floor. She checked her feet. Below them was the Kingdom Key, lying where she left it the night before. She clasped it her hand as she moved her other hand to the Keychain. She removed the chain, the Keyblade disappearing.
She picked herself off the floor and made her way to her closet. She opened the door to grab her school uniform, a white button down shirt, a matching white plaid tie and skirt, white knee high socks, and black ballet flats.
She saw her black ninja mask that covered her face to her eyeballs. She grabbed it as she hurried to put her uniform on. She clasped the Keychain on her skirt. She found her Death Note backpack and stuffed the mask in it.
She ran downstairs and out the front door. She mounted her bike and headed to school.
