"Come on, there must be one guy at school you like?"
"Look, Kairi, I know it was easy for you, but for me, its going to take a while,"
Kairi watches Seifer, Raj and Fuu beat up a kid
"Does any of you want to help this little whelp?"
Kairi starts to drift of to sleep
"Life is good,"
Two figures watch Kairi fall to sleep.
"You are my greatest protector…do you think you can handle it…Sora Twelve?"
The boy removes his hood
"Oh, I can handle it…and believe me, no one is going to touch her…Allons-y,"
He disappears in a bright flash of night.
Chapter 2
"Nice Wings,"
The sun shone through Kairi's window, right on her face, and her eyesight was blinded. She squinted her eyesight, and groaned. She had been having a lovely dream about herself and Riku, on his warm cozy bed; he was just taking off his pants, and showing his…
"Oh, god, you know that is absolutely disgusting?"
Kairi's heart nearly jumped out of her skin, as she looked up, and gasped.
Sitting on her desk chair, facing her was a teenager, a boy, who looked the same age as her. He had chocolate brown hair, each strand looked shiny, and beautiful. He had deep Cerulean eyes that looked like they went on forever. Deep and deep and deep, like the ocean on the beach. He had tanned skin, perfect tanned skin, as if he had spent the right amount of time out in the sun and his body was muscular. He was wearing a charcoal t-shirt with a black-buttoned shirt that had very thin white strips around the neck and bottom of the sleeve area, with the top three buttons undone, revealing some of the charcoal shirt. Over that he was wearing a black Jacket, with only two of the three buttons done up, dark blue jeans with a red belt, and maroon converse sneakers. His voice sounded Australian with just a hint of English
Kairi let out an ear piercing scream, a scream that should have scared the teen, and called her mother. But the teen remained motionless, and no one came. She continued for about a minute, until her lungs needed more air, and she stopped, taking air in with great gasps. The boy moved his right hand from his pocket pressed one of his fingers to his ear, trying to get the hearing back in his ear.
"God, you've got a voice, last time I heard a girl scream like that, fourteen soldiers had appeared, with guns and swords pointed at me. What a day that was, King of France was never the same again,"
The boy talked very fast, but had a wise voice. Like the voice of a wise old man had been put inside a 16 year old kid.
Kairi went to scream again, but the boy snapped his fingers. The snap was much louder than a normal snap. At once, Kairi's voice was gone. The scream was there, but she couldn't release it, like it had disappeared. Like it was gone with the wind.
"I made sure I sound proofed the walls, doors, windows, this room. Otherwise your mum would come in. Never having that happen to me again…so many kitchen knifes…but, you not yelling will help a lot…of course you cant yell, but, not screaming is a plus,"
This must be a dream. Kairi thought. So if I pinch myself, ill wake up. Kairi closed her eyes, slowly moved her hand to her arm, and pinched herself, hard.
Kairi's eyes instantly snapped open. She jumped up and looked around. There was no sign of the teen. Kairi started breathing again. She threw the covers off her, and got out of bed. The alarm read 6:55. She turned her back towards the room, and picked up her phone to check to see if she had any messages. She had one new message; it was from a private number. She opened the message, and it had two words on it
Turn around
The sound of laughter rang through her room, Kairi quickly turned around to see the same teen clutching onto her desk laughing.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I just couldn't resist. I remember one time this girl believed she was dreaming 27 times. I had to stop, or we would have been there for 54 days, and no matter how much fun it is, it gets annoying after a while,"
"I'm dreaming," was all that she muttered.
The teens smile went from huge to just a little grin.
"Oh, I can assure you, you are definitely not dreaming,"
The teen walked until he was a meter away from her. He then placed his hands in his pockets and looked up to her roof, but he had a look on his face that looked like he could see through the roof, out into space.
"Once in every human beings lifetime, he or she will look up into the sky, and wonder what's up there?" The teen continued to look at the roof.
"So, you're an alien?"
The teen looked at Kairi, and grinned.
"Go higher,"
Kairi looked at his, studying him for a few seconds. Before asking a simple question. A question whose answer would change her life forever.
"Who are you?"
The teenager bowed, and said, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sora Twelve, and I am your Guardian Angel,"
Kairi looked at him with shock on her face. She didn't utter a word for a whole minute. When she did, she muttered it very very softly.
"There's no such thing,"
Sora looked at her with a puzzled face, "Of course there is, see, I'm standing here,"
Kairi raised her voice a tiny bit "But you just look human,"
"But you saw it, I did that thing with your phone, and the dreaming thing," Sora pointed to her phone.
"That doesn't prove a thing," Again she raised her voice, and this time, she sounded stubborn, "How do I know your not some creepy guy?"
Sora groaned, as if he had heard the statements many times before. He took a black marker pen from out of his pocket and took of the lid off. The next thing he did made Kairi gasp.
In mid-air, he held the maker pen against nothing, and began to draw a circle. A black line appeared where the tip of the marker had been before, as if he had drawn it on paper.
"Imagine this is the earth," Sora said, as he was halfway finished. When he completed it, he put the cap back on the marker, and shoved it in his pocket.
"And the fact that I just drew a circle in midair is proof enough," Sora snapped his fingers and the circle evaporated into the air.
"That's not proof," Kairi blankly stated.
Sora stared at her for a couple of seconds with a "are you serious" look on his face, before saying "Oh, alright then, if you insist,"
Sora closed his eyes, and suddenly his back began to arch. The sound of flesh ripping filled Kairi's ears. Two blinding white, 2-and-a-half-meter long feathery wings appeared from his back
. Then his head began to shake a tiny bit, and a feint outline of a halo appeared. As Sora's head shook more, the halo began to become more solid, until finally, it was a bright, golden, solid Halo.
"Is that proof enough, or would u like me in white gowns with a bible in one hand, and a harp in the other?" Sora again had the sarcastic look on his face.
Kairi had backed to her wall, pure shock now on her face.
"That's Impossible," Was all that she could mutter, before she went to feint
Sora appeared beside her, and caught her.
"Oh…you alright?" Sora looked at her, as she managed to stand upright…that was until she fell again.
"Whoa," Sora managed to catch her again, "You ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Kairi weakly managed to say.
Sora helped her too her bed. And helped her sit down. Sora took a seat next to her.
"Look, I know it's difficult to understand, but seriously, you have nothing to worry about, I'm just here to protect you, that's all,"
Kairi sighed, and looked to her alarm clock. It read 7:11. It was only 7:11, and she already over the day. Sora got up and moved over to her desk, and began shuffling through some of her homework, and looked through her books.
All of a sudden, Kairi's bedroom doorknob suddenly turned, and Kairi gasped as the door opened, and her mum walked in.
Kairi instantly looked at Sora, who mealy glanced up, looked at her mum for a second and then looked back at the paper he was reading.
"Kairi, I need your clothes, I wanted to put the washing on before I went to work,"
"MUM! This isn't what it looks like, he's a friend from school, he just needed to borrow some work, and he's got some drama thing about angels on today," Kairi's excuse only brought upon a look of confusion on her mothers face.
"Kairi, what on earth are you talking about?"
Kairi stopped dead in her tracks. She turned her head to see Sora, who had now picked up her English book and began flicking through it and then she turned to her mother, who was staring at her with a quizzical look on her face.
"Can't…can't you see him?" Kairi slowly asked.
"See who?" Kairi's mother looked around, trying to see whom Kairi was talking about.
Kairi just backed away and sat down on her bed. Her eyes were wide open, and she was slowly going white.
Kairi's mother put down her basket of laundry and walked over to her daughter. She sat next to her and put her hand up to Kairi's forehead.
"You feeling alright, Kairi?" Kairi's mother was starting to get a bit worried about her teenage daughter.
"Yeah…I'm fine," Kairi didn't look at her mother, but was fixed at one point on the ground.
"You sure…If you're not feeling well, you know you can the day off," Kairi's mum kindly said.
"No, ill be okay," Kairi said again.
"Well, okay…I'll just get your clothes later," Kairi's mother walked to the clothesbasket that was on the floor, picked it up and walked out the door. Kairi looked up to see her mum's autumn red hair flicker out the door, and see her door slowly close.
Why couldn't mum see that guy…Maybe I'm going mad. Kairi stared at the spot on the ground for a full minute.
"Kinetic Supernatural Cancellation,"
Kairi look At Sora, who had flicked through the last pages of Merryll of the Stones, and placed it on her desk.
"What?" Kairi asked.
"Angels have a aurora around them, that cancels out the sight of them from human eyes, like a camouflage uniform in a forest,"
"Then how come I can see you?" Kairi was puzzled by this fact.
"Think of it like a 6th sense. There are the normal 5 senses. Smell, taste, touch, hearing and sight. But the 6th sense is the psychic sense. This sense is blocked in all humans, using a Kinetic Supernatural Cancellation in the brain and it is this sense that allows humans to see angels,"
"Yeah?" Kairi slowly said.
"Last Night, when you were sleeping, I went into your mind, and broke a tiny bit of the Kinetic Supernatural Cancellation, specifically the part that allows you to not see me,"
"So, I can see you, but no one else can?" Kairi slowly remarked.
"Well, until I change mi biology to match that of a human…than the aurora disappears,"
"Right," Kairi slowly said.
Sora stared at her for a few seconds, before saying, "Come here,"
"What?" Kairi asked.
"Just come here," Sora repeated.
Kairi slowly got up walked towards Sora. As she was about half a meter away, and could smell something heavenly on him, Sora placed his hands on her cheeks. His hands were so warm, and yet it must have been 17 degrees Celsius. Mornings were always cold on the Destiny Island.
Sora closed his eyes, and his hands grew even warmer
"What…what are you doing?" Kairi uncertainly asked.
"I'm putting a bit of color into your face, adding some vitamin D into your face, keep you healthy," Sora's eyes remained closed as he explained it.
A minute later both of Sora's hands went cooler, and he opened his eyes. Kairi walked over to her desk and picked up her mirror and held it up to eye level.
The color had returned to Kairi's face. No longer was it pale, like a ghost, but now it had a summer glow.
"Thanks," Kairi admired her new look.
"Your quite welcome," Sora smiled.
Kairi checked her alarm. It now read 7:31.
"Oh, shoot, I'm gonna be late to school," Kairi started running around trying to get her clothes.
"Kairi," Sora said softly, but Kairi continued to run around.
"Kairi," Sora said it a tiny bit louder, but Kairi was still running around trying to get ready.
Sora huffed, took a deep breath, and yelled "KAIRI!"
The sound carried through the room, like an explosion. Kairi instantly froze and looked at Sora.
"Get ready, have breakfast, then meet me outside, I promise you'll be at school on time,"
Once he had said this, Sora's wings wrapped around him, and in a bright white flash of lightning, he disappeared.
Kairi looked at the spot where Sora had disappeared, with a look of shock of her face. Maybe she was going insane, and everything that just happened was an illusion. But that touch, it had felt so real. So very real.
Kairi thought through this as she jumped in the shower, quickly got dressed, had breakfast, packed her bag for the day.
"Would you like me to drop you off at school?" Kairi's mum had asked while she had been eating her breakfast.
"No thanks mum," Kairi had answered.
"How do you expect to get to school today?"
"Someone's…picking me up,"
"Namine's mum?" Kairi's mum had asked.
"Umm, sort of," Kairi had to think about her answer, making sure she had told the truth without making her mum think she was crazier than she already thought she was.
Then again Kairi thought as she was walking down the path maybe I am crazy, and I don't get to school, what am I going to tell my teacher. "Sorry, miss, my Guardian Angel never showed up to take me to school," They'll be dragging me off to the funny farm as quickly as possible.
"Still think you're going mad, then?"
Kairi spun around to see Sora, in his angelic form, leaning on the left side of the house, his left foot over his right foot with his hands in his pockets. He walked over towards Kairi, jumping the fence and kept walking until he was about half a meter away from her.
"Little bit, yeah," Kairi smiled.
Sora grinned as well, a big grin, that made Kairi want to laugh, not because it looked funny, but because it made her happy.
"I believe I promised you a lift to school," Sora smiled.
"What are you going to do then, fly me to school?" Kairi placed her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows.
Sora sniffed, then said "Nah, don't want to scare you too much, thought I'd start with something simple,"
Sora gave Kairi a hug, and his wings instantly rapped around them.
"What are you doing?" This sudden movement shocked Kairi.
"Just hold on tight, and close your eyes," Kairi obeyed, and heard Sora clear his throat, before saying in a clear voice "Allons-y,"
Suddenly Kairi felt as if she was being spun around and around and around. Kairi wanted to see what was going on, but was afraid to open her eyes. A humming began to penetrate her ears, like a bees wings humming fast to keep it in the air. Then the sound of wind rushing, followed by trees whistling, then the sound of the beach, followed by cars, stoplights signaling people to cross, and finally the sound of teenagers laughing. The Feeling of being spun around began to subside, and the laughter of teenagers stayed in her ears. Kairi slowly opened her eyes to see that she was in front of the school, with Sora nowhere in sight. Then she heard him, in a soft voice, so soft she was the only one that could here him
"Be careful,"
Kairi looked around, as if to see him right beside her, but he was nowhere in sight. Kairi huffed, and began to walk into the school, when someone grabbed her hand. She expected it to be Sora, but when she turned around, she saw someone who was much better in her eyes, Riku.
"Hey babe…wow, your face has so much color in it…you sure you haven't put any make up on," Riku placed his hands on her face, wiping his hand across it.
"No, I just…kind of…woke up with it," Kairi's lie was a success, and it earned her a kiss from Riku.
"You feeling alright, Kairi," Riku was concerned for his girlfriend.
"Yeah, I'm alright, why?" Kairi asked him.
"Well, your kiss seems a bit off," Riku's honesty was appreciated, but Kairi still wanted to have some fun.
"Oh, well, I'll guess if you don't want any more…" Kairi turned around.
Riku grabbed her elbow and twisted her around,
"I didn't say that," Riku smiled as he gave her another kiss. After about a minute of deep kissing, Kairi withdrew and grabbed hold of Riku's arm.
"Come on, then, let's go and see everyone else," And together they walked into the school.
High in the air, as if standing on a floor, Sora was looking down on the happy couple. For a tiny second, Sora was jealous. Mostly because Kairi had the free life of a human, who could fall in love, while he…
Sora's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the school bell, indicating that everyone had to be in their homerooms. Sora sighed, and wrapped his wings around him, and instantly disappeared.
12------12
Namine had arrived 15 minutes after the first bell had rung. Miss Notes stood there as she searched her pockets for a piece of paper explaining why she had been late. Finally she revealed a slip of paper, and she handed it to her. Namine quickly took her seat, next to Kairi.
"Where were you?" Kairi whispered.
"I was late, slept in," Namine whispered back.
Kairi was about to ask how when Miss Notes made her way to the back of the class, where Kairi and Namine
"Girls, would you mind being quite until I've finished reading out the announcements?" Miss Notes asked, in a kind, but agitated voice.
"Yes miss," they both said at the same time.
"Thank you," she said kindly, and walked back towards the front.
"Now, we have two students who have achieved places in the band. Axel Davis, who will be on the drums, and Riku Johnson, who will be playing lead guitar…"
"Oh my god, my boyfriends playing lead guitar, how HOT is that," Kairi nearly squealed.
"Well, he is the best choice," Namine reminded her. Apart from being excellent at sport, Riku was also the best guitarist at the school.
"…We are still looking for a singer, and a bass guitarist, so, if you are interested, come to the music room today, at lunch," Miss Note finished reading her announcement, and everyone began quietly talking.
"You know, you should really try out for it, you have an excellent voice," Namine told her best friend.
"Yeah, I'm just not that good at singing in front of people," Kairi's cheeks turned red from embarrassment.
"But you've sung in front of me before, when you've slept over, and you've done it for Riku's party," Namine quizzically asked.
"Yeah, but that was only 20 people, but this dance is going to be in front of 250 people, and that's too much…beside, anyone can sing happy birthday," Kairi answered.
Suddenly the bell rang indicating 1st period geography. Kairi and Namine got up and walked all the way to their geography class. As they lined up in front of a couple of students waiting to go in, Kairi was thinking about whether she should tell Namine about Sora. Kairi reasoned that she should tell Namine, because she knew Namine would tell her if she a guardian angel.
"Namine," Kairi taped her friend on the shoulder.
"Yeah?" Namine responded.
"There's something I need to tell you,"
"What is it?"
"Well, you see, the thing is…" Kairi began, but stopped, when she saw him.
Throughout the crowd of students walking to their respective classes, Sora stuck out like a sore thumb. It was like herself and Sora were the only two people in the universe. Sora did not utter a word, but instead placed one of his fingers on his lips. Kairi got the message; it wasn't that hard to work out.
Don't say a word
It was as if he had yelled it out, with fear in his voice, but his face remained normal. He withdrew his finger from his lips. All of a sudden students passed by him. With the familiar sound of lightning, filled her ears, and the student number in the hall subsided, Sora was nowhere to be found.
"Kairi…Kairi…Kairi, are you okay?" Namine shook her friend.
"Huh?" Kairi snapped out of her daze.
"You sort of spaced out for a minute there," Namine had a look of worry plastered on her face.
"Oh…sorry," Kairi blushed.
"So, what were you going to tell me?" Namine returned back to the topic.
"Oh, umm, I've forgotten," Kairi lied.
"Oh, ok," Namine simply said, as their geography teacher, Mr. Bannet opened the door and indicated that the class should come in.
Kairi looked round, expecting Sora to follow her in, but soon realized that the corridor was completely empty, she sighed, as she closed the door. As Kairi closed the door, a single white feather fell to the ground, almost 8 inches long.
12------12
"Finally," Axel sighed as Kairi, Namine, Paine and himself walked out of History.
"History has to be one of the most dullest subjects in the entire world, I mean, who want to learn about stuff that happened hundreds of years ago," Axel rambled on.
Kairi sighed, "Axel, if we didn't know what happened a long time, then we wouldn't know when we arrived about the Destiny Islands, Or why the great meteorite of 1967 was such an impact on the Islands, or how Midnight became the most technologically advanced city in the entire world,"
"Yeah, Yeah, but its still boring," Axel pushed the door to the cafeteria.
Kairi groaned and gave up.
"You're right, Axel, Who needs History," Kairi sighed as she took her seat at the table they had claimed as their own.
Suddenly Yuna, Rikku, Zexion and Demyx walked into the Cafeteria, and walked towards their table.
"Where were you guys? Your class is like right next to the Cafeteria,"
"There was a fight between Seifer and some kid," Zexion emotionally said.
"The same kid from yesterday?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, I think so," Yuna answered.
Kairi sat there, quite, not moving, not smiling, not crying, but just sitting there.
"Someone has to do something about it," Kairi said to no one in particular.
Axel was the one who answered, "Yeah, but, look at him, he's been sent to Black Heart Prison more times than anyone knows, he's got Raj with him, so, unless you find two strong guys willing to go up against them, which will be next to impossible, they're just going to keep going,"
Kairi groaned. Of course Axel was right, but she didn't have to like the answer. Someone had to do something about it. The principal was too scared, as were the teachers and the students, and Kairi guessed that even their own parents were scared of them. There was no help for the kid, none at all. Kairi shook her head, then turned towards Namine and began talking to her about school.
Suddenly the bell finally rang for the final period, PE. Kairi and Namine got up, and with a quick goodbye, ran out of the cafeteria, down the hall and outside, where their PE class was waiting.
"Girls, you're late!"
The anger came from behind them. Kairi and Namine slowly turned around, to become face to face with the sport teacher, Coach Maddison. A broad women, a bit overweight, with orange hair and opal eyes. She had a white collared shirt and black shorts with white runners.
"Explain why you are late, now, or I will be forced to put you on after school detention,"
"But miss, we came as soon as the bell rang," Namine exclaimed.
"Miss Richson, I asked for explanation, not an excuse,"
"Well, umm, there was a…line up," Kairi barely squeaked.
"Girls, I like you, you are fit, and able to run around, certainly you are able to run to class when you need to…I'm going to give you one more chance, fail to turn up to my class early, and you will be punished…now go get changed, and meet me on the Soccer Field,"
"Yes, miss," They both said, and ran towards the change rooms.
Half an hour later found them running around a soccer field. As they were running around, Kairi looked at Namine, and smiled. If only she knew Kairi thought. If only she knew what I have.
12------12
The final bell rang, singling that it was finally time to go home. Kairi and Namine burst through the door, cheering that school had finally ended. Although it was only Thursday, they were still glad of their little break, before school was to start again the next day.
"So, are you going to sing for the dance?" Namine brought back the topic they had ended that morning
Kairi groaned, "No, Nam, I am not going sing in front of the school,"
"But why?" Namine asked again.
"I told you, I get too nervous when I stand up and sing in front of the entire…"
"KAIRI!!"
Everything happened in slow motion. A truck, big, red and fast came hurtling towards her. Kairi looked down, and realized she was standing on the pitch-black road. She heard the screech of the tires, the scream of the several students. Kairi closed her eyes, screamed and waited for the impact of the truck to hit her.
Suddenly the sound of wings rushing went through her ears, and Kairi felt someone hugging her. Then the sound of slurping filled her ears, along with wind rushing, car beeping, and something very large, and very fast went through her ears, like she was right next to an airplane. The wind rushed through her ears, as did the sound of birds. Kairi slowly opened her eyes, and the next thing she saw made her absolutely sure that she had died.
She was standing, on what appeared to be thin air, over some kind of city. Kairi Screamed, and lost her balance and She began to fall. She closed her eyes, and waited however, she didn't fall for too long, before her face smacked on something hard. Kairi slowly opened her eyes, and saw the bird's eye view of the mysterious city. Kairi slowly placed her hand on the air, and soon found that her hand could not penetrate this force field. She slowly pushed herself up using her hands, and wobbled a bit, before she was standing completely still.
"This…This is Impossible," Kairi shocked look increased when she heard a human voice, so close to her.
"You know…" Kairi quickly turned around to see Sora standing a couple of feet away from her, his hands in his pockets and looking down at the city, "It took Queen Victoria 6 weeks before she had an assassination attempt, I must congratulate you on your persistence on being killed,"
"This is impossible," Kairi repeated again.
"Impossible…But brilliant," Sora smiled.
Kairi looked down at the city, and saw people, who looked like ants, running and walking and sprinting.
"Where are we?" Kairi asked her guardian angel, without looking up.
"This," Sora cried, "This is the marvelous city of London, England, One of the most peaceful places in the earth, and apparently, when it is thunder-storming, the most beautiful sight, of course, it dose not even compete with the sunsets of Destiny Islands, but…still…" Sora trailed off.
They both continued looking at the busy English people, before Kairi looked at Sora and asked, "What happened?"
Sora looked up, took a deep breath, and explained, "You were busy discussing the singing option In the school dance with your friend Namine, you weren't looking where you were going, a truck came along, nearly crushed you beyond repair, until I used this…"
Sora held out a ball, a bit smaller than the size of a tennis ball, completely made of metal, with wires wrapped around it, gears attached to it, and a red button at the top.
"Something Cid made for me…It's a Reality Discontinuance Device, it is able to Pauses all of reality, except for England for some strange reason, everyone there just keeps going, don't even realize that time has stopped…Something about a Rift in time…and except to anyone who touches this. So, I activated it, and it paused all of reality, then I grabbed you, and I teleported us here, and created an invisible slab so you could stand," Sora finished.
Kairi thought for a few seconds, before she opened her mouth, and said "Hang on, how do you know about Namine?"
Sora looked at her with a sarcastic look, and said, "Yeah, THAT'S the weirdest part of that story,"
"What?" Kairi smiled.
Sora groaned, and turned around "You know Kairi, you surprise me, most people don't get over this fact for a couple of months and some are even hospitalized. Isn't there one thing you want to say to me, like I'm not real, or your going nuts, like you said this morning?"
Kairi smiled, and merely said three words, "Yeah…Nice wings,"
Sora groaned again, and then said, "you know what, never mind, ill just take this unusual scale of events as an added bonus,"
Kairi once again looked at her guardian angel, before saying, "Well, why didn't you just…I dunno…Step in front of the truck and stop it coming with your strength or something,"
Sora looked up at Kairi, and gave her a strange look, "You've been reading too much Twilight,"
Kairi sniggered, before saying "Well, why couldn't you have done that?"
Sora sighed before he sat down, and gestured for Kairi to do the same.
"Kairi, I don't know whether you have realized this, but the real world isn't like the world of fantasy and imagination, no matter how much you may wish it was…If I had stopped the truck from killing you, people would want to know how and when that indent was put into that truck. People would have questioned you, the government would have gotten into involved, they would've taken you for experiments, then I would've had to of saved you, revealing myself, and then they would have experimented on me," Sora finished is long explanation with a deep breath and a smile.
Kairi just had a confused look on her face, "You do know how absolutely ridiculous that sounds,"
Sora just smiled, "As a wise person once said, even the most ridiculous things can come true,"
"Oh, really? And which wise person said that?" Kairi asked, as if she didn't know the answer.
"Why me of course," Sora answered, as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.
"Yeah, well, its still very unlikely that that would happen," Kairi muttered.
"Actually, because I've looked into it using a Different-Dimensional Timeline Window, that's exactly what would have happened,"
"A what timeline window?" Kairi asked, with a lot of confusion plastered on her face.
"A Different-Dimensional Timeline Window, its kind of like a 'what if' machine, you type in what would happen if you did something, and it looks through every Dimensions until it finds one with the results of what would happen. You see, whenever we make a decision, a parallel world is made where you made a different decision. There are millions of billions of trillions of different worlds. The Different-Dimensional Timeline Window finds one, and shows you what happens," Sora smiled.
"Wow, that very confusing," Kairi giggled.
"Well, sometimes the universe is confusing, it is also full of wonderful mysteries," Sora continued to smile.
"So I've heard," Kairi still giggled
They both looked at each other, both with big smiles on their faces, so close to each other. They stared into each other's eyes. However, the connection was short lived. Sora looked away, and Kairi stared down at her feet.
"Right…umm…err…well, I…err…" Sora stuttered.
"Yes…of course…err," Kairi blushed.
They stood there, silent for a couple of minutes, before Kairi managed to say something.
"So, how exactly are you going to get me home, and not hurt?"
"Hmm? Oh, right, yes, I'm going to teleport you back to the high school, and place you a couple of centimeters out of the way of the runaway truck. Then I'm going to reactivate the Reality Discontinuance Device, and everything will be back to normal, and, more importantly, you'll be alive," Sora smiled at her.
"Oh, yeah…Sorry about that," Kairi looked at the ground.
Sora grinned even bigger, and said "Kairi, My soul purpose is to protect you, no matter how much trouble you get in, be it a besting or cancer,"
"Okay, Okay, I understand," Kairi giggled once again.
"Now, if you're ready, I'll be taking you back home," Sora opened his arms, as if waiting for a hug.
Kairi smiled, and said, "You do know how to treat a lady,"
Sora grinned, showing all of his white teeth, "Oh yes,"
Kairi walked up and rapped her arms around him. As his arms closed around her, so did his wings.
"If you're not going to be sick, you can keep your eyes," Kairi could see him smiling
"Oi, don't get cheeky with me," Kairi pretended to get angry.
Sora, ignoring this, said, "Hold on tight," and instantly Kairi clung on to him. Sora closed his eyes, and instantly they started to spin, first slowly, than faster and faster and faster, until finally, the humming began to go through her ears. Then all of a sudden everything began to turn a misty blue color, and the sound of planes, cars, bells, and what appeared to be 'What's My Age Again' by Blink 182 on someone's MP3.
Then, very slowly, the spinning began to stop, and Kairi began to hear different noises. A Truck screeching, a horn blasting, and her name being yelled by two different people. Suddenly the slow spinning ceased, and Kairi caught a Red truck screech past her just barely a few center meters away from her.
Namine's scream silenced as she ran over to her friend, who looked strangely calm considering she had almost been hit by a truck.
"Kairi, Kairi, are you alright?" Namine still had a look of shock in her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little bit dazed…what happened?" Kairi asked.
"You almost got hit by a truck, if you hadn't stepped back, you'd be dead,"
"Yeah…Lucky I stepped back then," Kairi tiredly smiled.
"Kairi, Are you delirious?" Namine asked, clearly concerned.
"No…what makes you say that?"
"Kairi, you were almost ran over by a truck, and you're smiling," Namine pointed out.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Kairi smiled again, Just as Riku came cam running from the cricket fields.
"Kairi! Kairi, are you ok?" Riku asked. Like Namine, he had a look of shock on his face.
"Riku, I'm fine, really," Kairi sighed as her boyfriend hugged her alive and well body.
"Kairi, you could have died today, who could of protected you if you died?" Riku asked.
Kairi smiled and looked up, "Who Indeed?" she muttered, so quietly, so no one could hear her.
After Kairi arrived home for her extremely tiring day at school, and had been bombarded with 'Thank gods' and 'how could you have been so careless' in between the many hugs and kisses from her mum, (Somehow, she must've found out from one of the students what had happened to me Kairi thought) Kairi walked up to her room, and began starting one of many assessment tasks she had been issued over the past month. She continued doing them until 7:30, when her mum called her down for a dinner of sausages, mashed potatoes and peas. Throughout all that time, Kairi hadn't seen hide or hair of her Guardian Angel, although, Kairi knew how to get his attention. As Kairi finished her Strawberry Ice-cream, There was something on her mind. Kairi was a girl who wanted to know every detail of everything, from how to turn the blender on to the exact detail of starting a car.
Kairi slowly made her way up the stairs and into her room. She turned the light on, and lay on her bed. Then suddenly, she said into this air "How come the teleportation was different?"
Suddenly, as though he had been there all that time, Sora, who was sitting on her chair looking at her, said, "What do you mean?"
Smiling, Kairi explained her question, "Well, when you teleport by yourself, your wings wrap around you, and you disappear in lightning, but when you teleported me, it was spinning around,"
Sora also smiled, and answered, "The lightning teleportation is known as Angelic Elemental Teleportation, and is very tricky to know. It involves teaching oneself to use an element to teleport them, usually an element that's quick, like lightning, wind, or fire. Rock and Metal would be a bad example, because they can't move. Not many angels know how to do it, probably about 10 angels are known to do it,"
"What about the second one?" Kairi asked, now sitting up with her legs crossed
"The second one is teleportation that every angel knows, and can be used to transport more than one person. It is called Multiple Short-line Transport. The angel spins around with the person or people, until they are going so fast that they are pushed to another area. So, Basically, It's a number of short teleportation's that get longer and longer until you reach your destination,"
"What's the main difference between the two?" Kairi asked.
"Well, Angelic Elemental Teleportation can get you to the exact place you want to, because it just goes from point A to B, whereas Multiple Short-line Transport uses multiple stops, and you need to know when to slow down. So you may be a couple of meters of course, or on the opposite side of the world.
"What do you prefer?" Kairi fired another question.
"Well, seeing as I spent a number of years trying to get the hang of Angelic Elemental Teleportation, I use that as much as I can,"
"Ok," Kairi ended her series of questions.
Sora chuckled, "Like asking questions, don't you,"
"Mmhm," smiled Kairi.
"Well, anything else you want to know?" Sora smiled.
"Yeah…how did you die?" Kairi asked, and almost instantly she wished she hadn't.
Soras entire emotion went from happy and cheerful to dark and sad. His hair covered his eyes and his mouth was just a thin line, completely blank. Kairi thought she saw a single tear roll down his face, but then he moved a hand up to his face, and flicked it off, and his face looked like he hadn't shed a tear.
"Listen, I'm going to look outside to see if I can find anyone lurking around, talk to you tomorrow," and before Kairi could disagree, his wrings wrapped around him, and he disappeared with a crack of lightning.
Kairi lay there, on her bed, wondering whether she had said the wrong thing. Even though she had only known him for a day, she had known a happy, laughing Sora. It was as if he had a dark persona. Kairi wondered, as she drifted off to sleep, whether there was something more to Sora's death, something that no one should ever go through.
12------12
Sora sat on top of Kairi's house, looking out onto the ocean, his feet dangling over the edge of her house. Nighttime was always a calm time on Destiny Islands. Anyone could sit outside and think about anything. At this moment, Sora was thinking about what Kairi had said. He stared at the ocean, the waves going over and over and over and over and…
"Hey,"
Sora snapped out of his trance, and stared up at a new figure, who was standing next to him. This one was about the same height as he was, and had wings and a halo. But he was also wearing a long black coat; similar to the one Sora had worn while in front of the father. His voices sounded smug, yet kind
"Hey," Sora returned his gaze to the sea while the figure sat down next to him.
"So, how's your new…client?" The Figure asked.
"Fine, what about yours," Sora didn't move an inch.
"Yeah, she's ok, but she's really shy, she not fun, or adventurous, or even…" The figure chuckled "…willing,"
Sora groaned, "How you managed to become a guardian angel with your mind still fails to amaze me,"
"Well, originally I was supposed to go to hell," The figure told him.
"Really, how come you didn't go?" Sora asked.
"Well, lets just say that when St Peter went to judge me, he was feeling a bit lonely," the figure chuckled.
Sora groaned again, "When are you ever going to learn, you need to take this seriously. It is important to protect these women, because if they are killed, then…"
"Ok I get it, Jeez…Since when did you give a shit what I did?" The figure asked.
Sora sighed and stood up. Suddenly he shot up, appearing 20 meters above the house, then 40, the so far up that the house looked more like an ant than a house, and all without a sound. The figure also sighed and shot up soundlessly, joining Sora.
"What is it?" The Figure asked, seriousness for the first time in his voice.
"The girl," Sora said.
"Which girl, Sora, you've basically narrowed it down to every girl in the world,"
The figure said.
"Kairi, the girl I'm protecting," Sora conjured her face from the clouds, and the figure looked at her.
"Wow, Sora, she's hot. You wanna swap?" The figure joked.
"She's not just hot, she's absolutely beautiful," Sora stared at the conjugated form of Kairi.
"What?" The Figure said.
"I think I might be falling for her,"
There was a silence, before the figure began laughing.
"This isn't funny," Sora muttered as the hooded figure continued to laugh.
"Of course it's funny. Your Sora Twelve, you are one of the only Angels that can control his emotions, and now your saying its going to some human girl…"
"You and I both know she's not just 'some human girl'," Sora muttered.
"…Your supposed to be the best at what you do, protecting without getting involved. Your famous for it, and now…"
"Ok, I'd like to not get a lecture about not falling in love by my sex-crazed brother," Sora finally put an end to the figures ramblings, "How you've managed to go unnoticed in that departments nobody knows," He continued
"There is a big difference between love and lust," the figure said with a smug voice.
"That still doesn't help me," Sora grumbled.
"I'm sorry, bro, but unless your willing to start being lustful, which I know you aren't, I cant help you, I mean, you know that the first rule of being a guardian angel is 'Thou Shall Not Fall In Love With A Human'"
"Yeah, I know," Sora sighed as he looked down at Kairi's house.
"What are you going to do?" The figure asked.
"I am going to control my emotions and do my job," Sora concluded.
"Ok," The figure said.
They remained silent, before Sora started a new topic.
"I'm going to have keep a more close eye-out for her," Sora stated.
"How are you going to do that?" The figure asked.
"Ill just pose as a student, that should do it," Sora answered.
"Why would you want to go back to school?"
"I don't want to go back to school, but it will be necessary to keep an eye out for Kairi…It may be necessary for you to do the same as well,"
"Oh, I don't know," The Figure shuffled his feet and looked down.
"There will be a lot of cute guys and girls," Sora smiled.
"Oh, Sora, you know me to well, ok, fine, Ill go," The figure chuckled.
"Well, I better check that she hasn't been killed yet, ill talk to you tomorrow," Sora smiled.
"Yeah, I better get back too, talk to you tomorrow," The figure bade goodbye,
"Oh, and Roxas…Don't sleep with your client," Sora smiled.
The figure finally removed his hood, to reveal a boy, who looked a bit like Sora, but had shorter, blonde spikes, but had the same cerulean eyes as Sora.
"Ah, Sora," Roxas Twelve, Sora's brother replied, "You know I cant keep that promise," and Roxas's wings wrapped around his body, and with a blast of wind, he disappeared.
Sora chucked, as he shivered from the blast of wind, and snapped his fingers, as his own coat appeared on him.
"Yeah, I know," He chuckled, and his own wings wrapped around him, and in a flash of lightning, he disappeared.
Next Time On 12
Sora is standing in front of Kairi's school, talking to Kairi in his human form.
"Well, after yesterdays incident, you didn't think id leave you alone, did you?"
Sora, Kairi, Namine and Roxas are standing In a Classroom.
"Kairi, Allow me to introduce you to my brother, Roxas Twelve,"
Seifer is talking to a large group of people
"Who has the courage to defend this boy,"
Sora steps out of the crowd, smiling.
"I believe that's my cue,"
Sora, Roxas, Axel and Riku are playing a song in front of a music class
Sora and Roxas are back to back in the cafetiria.
"Just like old times, aye Sora?"
Sora smiles back
"Oh, yes,"
