11.3 back in the underworld

[thunderedge]

Shiva: ....*crosses her arms over her chest*
Kairi: Riku....s-stop it...
Shiva: ...*goes over to them*
Kairi: *holding onto his arm*
Riku: ....but...
Shiva: Sora would be disappointed at that behavior.
Kairi: You know there's...n-nothing we can...
Riku: ......
Shiva: He tried pretty damn hard to bring you back. How do you think he'd feel if you left again?
Shiva: *eyes narrow*
Riku: How can I be leaving if he's not here!!
Kairi: Stop it!!
Shiva: *uncrosses arms*
Shiva: *glances at Leon*
Leon: *frowns, giving her a nod* ...I see...
Cloud: ........
Shiva: He's here, you just deny it.
Shiva: Because you don't believe what you cannot see or touch or hear.
Riku: What would you know!!
Kairi: Riku, stop it...
Shiva: I'm a goddess.
Shiva: I know a great deal more than you ever would in 100 lifetimes
Riku: ........*looks away*
Shiva: He hasn't left you. If he saw you like this, he'd be even more upset.
Shiva: *flies off*
Kairi: .....*wipes her face*
Shiva: *goes to grab some stuff*
Tifa: .....*walks over and puts a hand on both of their shoulders*
Leon: *glances at Cloud* We'll keep it together...
Leon: won't we?
Cloud: ...*nods slowly*
Tifa: ...here. *takes Riku's hand gently and puts over his heart* No matter what happens, Sora will always be there.
Kairi: *wipes her eyes and nods*
Riku: .......
Aki: (You're hopeless, you know, Riku.)
Izzy: (yeah really...)
Aki: (Sora: Pfft I'll say)
Aki: (X3)
Kairi: *hugs Riku* That's right...he's right here...he'll always be here.
Shiva: And he'll keep an eye on you, even if you don’t want him to.
Riku: .......*closes his eyes*
Shiva: There is much you wish you could have said...you can still say it.
Shiva: He will hear you.
Kairi: .......*takes his hands and puts them over the Oathkeeper keychain and Sora's pendant*
Shiva: *goes off to do her own thing*
Riku: ...........
Kairi: Don't worry, Sora...we'll be...all right.
Kairi: So don't....worry....
Izzy: (ah, dammit, now I'm crying)
Aki: (Oh? I was once Tifa took Riku's hand XD)
Izzy: (aww)
Sora: ....
Sora: I'll...worry in a good way...then...*mutters*
Izzy: (awww)
Sora: G'night Jessie. *lays back in the flowers* :D
Jessie: *nods*
Izzy: (I guess they do sleep XD)
Aki: (Sora does at least XD)
Izzy: (haha)
Aki: (they probably don’t and Jessie thinks he's weird XDD)
Izzy: (hahaha)
Izzy: (Sora will be Sora)
Aki: (of course)
Roxas: *wipes at his face* ...
Roxas: *glances at the others, and sighs*
Axel: How're you holding up?
Roxas: fine.
Roxas: You can go sleep any time you want...you're not a Nobody...you need to.
Izzy: (what? XD)
Aki: (Roxas never really slept, so he figured Nobodies didn't need sleep)
Aki: (But they're normal people now)
Izzy: (haha)
Izzy: (true, but why doesn't he sleep? XD)
Axel: *shrugs* I'm not tired.
Aki: (Well, in the Organization he didn't sleep much)
Izzy: (haha)
Roxas: *shrugs*
Roxas: I'll go make you something to eat... (oh god, the Sora genes *shot*)
Izzy: (haha)
Roxas: *gets up and goes down the stairs carefully*
Izzy: (...Kadaj fell asleep)
Izzy: (he was crying too much :\)
Izzy: (he really is a kid)
Aki: (awww)
Aki: (Aerith is hugging him)
Izzy: (yeah ;_;)
Aki: (he's soooo cute)
Aki: (and makes me cry when he cries)
Izzy: (awww)
Izzy: (*hugs Kadaj*)
Aki: (*hugs him too*)
Aki: (Sora: *hugs him as well*)
Aki: (Sora: I feel alone in the parenthesis)
Aki: (Sora: where's Riku?)
Izzy: (sorry :\)
Izzy: (uhhh)
Izzy: (not here)
Aki: (Sora: >':)
Izzy: (.......)
Izzy: (>.< Stop making that face)
Izzy: (I'm gonna start crying too)
Aki: (Sora: T____T)
Izzy: (as if I wasn't already)
Aki: (Sora: I want Riku and Kairi D':)
Izzy: (I know...)
Aki: (Sora: ...Hmm. Can this be cliché? Can I talk to them when they sleeeep?)
Izzy: (uhhh)
Aki: (Sora: Pleasseeeeeeeeee >':)
Izzy: (why are you asking me?)
Aki: (Sora: PLEASSEEEEEEEEE)
Izzy: (because I'm susceptible to your--.......nn.........OKAY FINE)
Aki: (Sora: :DDDDD)
Izzy: (T_T)
Aki: (Sora: YAY~)
Izzy: (dammit...)
Izzy: (that face gets me every time...)
Aki: (...You know your own child will be spoiled rotten..)
Izzy: (yeah, really)
Aki: (if they learn that face..)
Aki: (then they meet auntie Ashley who can say no XD)
Izzy: (haha, I'm really bad at refusing things to children)
Aki: (Though it wont really matter cuz she wont care if they eat junk food or watch Avatar)
Izzy: (hahaha)
Izzy: (well, I'd care about the junk food, so it would work out)
Izzy: (all they'd have to worry about would be becoming rabid Avatar fans)
Izzy: (geez...poor Sora is probably like "Stop talking and get me outta here ;_;")
Aki: (aww)
Sora: Yeah, I'm only counting flower petals.
Sora: It's such great fun.
Sora: I'm about to sing too.
Sora: That's the first sign of insanity
Jessie: ...really?
Sora: o_o;
Sora: oops.
Jessie: That's not good...
Sora: huh.
Sora: I guess so.
Sora: Singing's okay.
Jessie: I mean, I sometimes sing to myself when there's nothing to do.
Jessie: Which is...often
Sora: Mm.
Izzy: (she's so gullible XDD)
Aki: (she's too cute XD)
Aki: (like Sora XD)
Izzy: (haha)
Izzy: (except a little more mature XD)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Aki: (Sora was talking to us XDD)
Izzy: (yeah, I know)
Aki: (I love that kidddd)
Sora: I can't sleep. But I want to...
Izzy: (we're gonna have to start using double parenthesis again)
Jessie: I sure wish I could sleep.
Jessie: I can't even remember what it's like...
Sora: It's nice...
Sora: You close your eyes, and you're all warm under a nice fuzzy blanket.
Sora: And you imagine things sometimes.
Sora: Hopefully happy things.
Jessie: That's right...I haven't had a dream in so long.
Jessie: Sometimes I think I'm dreaming, though.
Sora: Yeah...
Sora: From the stories Tifa told me...
Sora: It sounded like it wasn't your time...*sighs*
Jessie: Tifa talked to you about us?
Jessie: *smiles a little*
Sora: I always wanted to hear everything everyone had to say...
Jessie: At least we haven't been forgotten.
Sora: Yeah. You haven't....Everyone has a story to tell
Sora: Cloud wouldn't tell me...so I asked Tifa. Midgar's story was the most inspiring one I'd heard.
Aki: (wanna move onto the part where Sora comes back? I can draw the whole doujin Sora Underworld arc)
Aki: (And add the 7 other days)
Izzy: (uh? hmmm...I guess)
Aki: (Sora's bitching at me

Izzy: (we can skip to right at the end, then?)
Izzy: (when Hades is finally beaten into letting him go? >.>)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Izzy: (okay, lead on XD)
Aki: (Sora's kinda hurt obviously though, Jessie too, cuz I made her fight at one point)
Izzy: (with what. XD)
Izzy: (I don't remember her having a weapon...)
Izzy: (though knowing her, she'd have, like...)
Izzy: (a taser or something)
Aki: (Hades probably didn't remember to check her before letting her into Hell XD)
Izzy: (hahaha)
Izzy: (they need metal detectors or something)
Aki: (really XD)
Sora: ...I...
Sora: Do you...
Aki: (he's not sure how to say what he wants to say to her XD)
Jessie: Sora, are you...all right?
Aki: (He's like 'wellitalkedtothefatesandtheysaidyouwerekilledbeforeyourtime.doyouwannagobackhome?')
Sora: ...*sighs* Do you...want to go home? You have the option...
Sora: It's a standing option until you take it...
Jessie: Home? You mean...
Sora: But...
Jessie: ...oh.
Sora: If you don't...I'll come visit.
Jessie: It's all right.
Jessie: You know...I've been here so long already.
Jessie: There's not really...anything to go back to, you know?
Jessie: Um. Sorry. I'm babbling.
Sora: *grins* It's fine.
Sora: I understand.
Jessie: Look, just...tell everyone I'm okay, all right?
Sora: I will.
Sora: They'll be happy.
Jessie: *puts her hands on her hips and musters a smile* And I don't wanna see you down here again for at least another 40 years, all right, mister?
Sora: *hands on his hips too* I'll have my Keyblade back, Hades won’t oppose me any longer. He can't do anything to me. *confident grin*
Jessie: Well...good luck. I'm glad I could help you. *holds out her hand to shake*
Sora: *instead, hugs her* Well, take care.
Sora: Try sleeping. *winks*
Izzy: (aww Sora, you've gotta hug everyone, don't you XD)
Aki: (yes, he has to. He's too cute XD)
Jessie: *blinks, then laughs*
Sora: See ya. *waves*
Jessie: *waves back, smiling*
Jessie: *blinks away a tear and sighs* Ah...well. That's that.
Sora: *goes up the stairs to the Colliseum, but ends up back in Hollow Bastion*
Aki: (He's totally like, ow, I fell into the ground...)
Izzy: (aww)
Aki: (He's flat on his face, knocked out at the Bailey)
Aki: (Leon's there)
Izzy: (Leon, who needs the trauma of finding Sora the least XD)
Aki: (XD)
Kairi: Riku, come inside...you'll catch a cold...
Riku: ......
Kairi: At least wear a jacket.
Izzy: (...does that mean Cloud's with him?)
Aki: (sure)
Aki: (I'd assume they'd stick to each other even more, after Sora died XD)
Izzy: (yeah, really)
Leon: ....
Cloud: *nearly drops the board he's carrying*
Leon: *totally dropped the board he was holding*
Izzy: (poor Leon. hope it wasn't on his foot XD)
Aki: (I don't think it was XD)
Leon: ...how did his body get here...
Cloud: What...
Leon: ...
Cloud: *purposefully drops the board and runs over to Sora*
Leon: *follows him*
Cloud: ....how...
Aki: (it's been 3 months and a week XD)
Izzy: (yeah, really)
Cloud: *stares for a moment*
Izzy: (he's like...."I think I'm hallucinating. He's breathing.")
Leon: He better not have died from the impact...
Aki: (Leon knew something cuz Shiva told him XD)
Cloud: *kneels down and feels for a pulse*
Izzy: (damn, Leon)
Cloud: What the hell...
Sora: ....
Leon: ...Shiva...said...
Leon: Thank Hyne...
Leon: ...*sighs*
Leon: He's bleeding though.
Cloud: *pulls off his scarf* Where's Aerith?
Leon: at home.
Izzy: (...he's in shock, he won't be so calm in a bit. >.>)
Leon: We should get him there...
Cloud: *takes off his jacket and wraps Sora in it*
Sora: Nn...
Leon: Here, I'll take him...
Cloud: *nods* I'll run ahead. *takes off*
Leon: *takes hold of him, and heads back towards his house*
Cloud: *grabs Riku's arm as he runs past* Inside. Now.
Riku: Wha--
Kairi: *holds the door open* What's going on?
Roxas: ...
Roxas: *watches Cloud freak out*
Cloud: Aerith!!
Aerith: What?
Cloud: There's...ah...Sora...
Izzy: (he's like "how the hell do I say this...")
Cloud: Leon should be here in a second—
Leon: You run too fast...
Cloud: Sorry.
Riku: *staring*
Leon: *shrugs*
Kairi: Wh-what...
Roxas: *grabs Axel's arm and pulls him down stairs*
Axel: Woah!
Leon: Well, sleeping beauty took quite a fall...
Tifa: *runs in* What's--
Leon: But, somehow, he's alive.
Kairi: ...*puts her hands to her mouth*
Cloud: Where's he hurt?
Leon: his right arm. He fell on it...
Leon: Riku, wanna take him to his room?
Leon: ...
Riku: *still staring*
Aki: ('I don’t wanna carry him anymore ')
Izzy: (umm...unresponsive XD)
Leon: .......fine
Kairi: ....*swallows and nudges Riku's arm*
Leon: I'll take him up. *sighs and heads up the stairs*
Kairi: *pushes Riku after him*
Izzy: (...fangirl much? >.>)
Izzy: (pfft.)
Aki: (haha)
Cloud: .....*sits down heavily in a nearby chair*
Aerith: *glances at him* did you get any work done?
Cloud: .......
Tifa: *puts a hand on his shoulder*
Cloud: *starts* What?
Izzy: (...he wasn't paying attention...)
Aki: (yeah xD)
Leon: *puts Sora in his bed and puts the covers over him*
Kairi: *quietly* I guess we'll...wait until he wakes up.
Leon: I'll bring up food for the three of you in a bit.
Kairi: Thank you...
Riku: .....
Leon: mhmm *heads downstairs*
Kairi: *takes Riku's arm and pulls him into the room*
Aki: (....Again. He fought for you Riku. Jeez.)
Izzy: (It's shock, don't be so hard on the poor kid XD)
Aki: (I know XD)
Kairi + Riku: *sit by the bed*
Kairi: *reaches out and takes Sora's hand*
Kairi: It really is...
Sora: ....Mm...warm.
Aki: (Yes Sora, surprisingly Hell is cold XD)
Izzy: (hahaha)
Riku: *reaches out, his hand shaking a little*
Kairi: *smiles and starts crying*
Riku: *puts his head down*
Sora: I'd hit you for staying sad too long...but my arm hurts... *yawns* *glances at Riku*
Riku: S-sora...
Riku: You're really...
Izzy: (naw, shit.)
Aki: (XD)
Sora: Uh-huh. I don't think Kairi would be dreaming the same dream.
Kairi: *wipes her face* B-but how?
Sora: Uhh...don't really know.
Sora: I just fought and fought and fought.
Sora: Shiva helped...
Sora: Jessie too.
Kairi: Jessie?
Sora: Yeah. She was a friend of--where's Cloud?
Sora: and Tifa??
Sora: *grumbles and pushes himself up* Well, Jessie was a friend of theirs...who died trying to save the Planet.
Kairi: Are you sure you're...all right to get up?
Sora: Yeah.
Sora: Perfectly fine.
Sora: By the way Kairi, you couldn't possibly tell me to not worry and expect me not to...
Kairi: I...
Kairi: Then you really were...?
Sora: I could obviously hear you.
Sora: I'm hungry. *considers food*
