A Kingdom Hearts X To Love-ru Fanfic
Disclaimer: I do not own KH or To Love-ru. If I did, Sora could have lost his innocence a long time ago…
-Location: Destiny Islands, Eastern Residential Area, Mikado Residence-
-Time: Late Afternoon-
3rd Person POV
"…I'm home…"
Declares a young woman in a lonely manner as she enters her house.
She has green eyes and brownish red hair. She has pointy elf-like ears that she hides underneath her hair. She wears a lab coat, a pink top that's held together by a belt on her waist and a black skirt.
As soon as she removes her shoes and steps into living room, a strong sense of nostalgia stabs through her heart and mind.
…It has been a year since she stayed in her 'home' after all. But not only that…
Memories of her family flooded into her as she wanders around the interior of her home…
The first time she and her husband settled in 20 years ago…
That time she gave birth to her son 15 years ago…
The first 10 years of living with her family…
Her husband's disappearance at her son's 12th birthday…
And…
Her son's disappearance 1 year ago…And concerning that…
It was like not only his presence disappeared…But also included in the list of disappearances was…
The woman's memory of her son.
During the course of the last year, when she took up the role of a physician from the neighboring city of Sainan, she remembered having a home…And a missing husband, but not a missing son…
It was like that, until two months ago, while working overtime at school…
-Flashback-
She was setting aside the medical equipments of the school clinic, when suddenly, a great deal of pain overtook her head. She ignored it at first, but, the pain became stronger by the minute, forcing her to take a rest.
However as she laid down, memories invaded the insides of her mind. The memory of a boy…
…With spiky reddish brown hair, wears large yellow shoes, a white and black over-jacket as well as a red jumpsuit and a pair of white with yellow gloves with a crown necklace and crown chain.
A few more memories invaded her mind, before realization hit her…
She just 'remembered' her only family left…
She felt great pain, not from her earlier headache, but from her emotions. How could she forget that her son was missing? And he has been missing for 8 months already…Could he have ended up like his father? Will she lose him, too?
She became depressed for weeks after that, gaining the attention of her assistant nurse, and some of the students that she is close to.
They tried to help, but with no avail. Instead, the doctor herself asked for a temporary break, forcing her assistant nurse to take her place for a while…
-Flash back end-
The female doctor, shaking off both pleasant and unpleasant memories from her mind, goes to the back of the house, and takes some cleaning tools.
It has been a year, so the house is probably…quite dirty.
-POV Change!-
-Location: Destiny Islands, Main Island's Beach-
3rd person POV
"So, I guess this is where we part ways, right, Riku, Kairi?" A boy asks his two friends. He wears a black jacket with a white hood, with a black shirt inside. He also wears black baggy shorts, along with large black and yellow colored shoes. He also has a ridiculously spiky reddish brown hair. One could say he could kill falling lizards with it.
"Yep. And that reminds me, Sora…" Kairi tells the brown haired boy, "Your mom left for the neighboring city a year ago. There might not be anyone in there right now…"
"Nah, I'm pretty sure Sora can sneak in somehow. I mean, he even sneaked out during that storm back then, right?" Riku intervenes, causing Sora to retort, "Of course I can! I know where mom hides the spare keys! Although I don't know if it's still there…" Sora worriedly declares.
"…I'm pretty sure you can manage…somehow." Riku then quickly asks a question as soon as he remembered the thing about leaving his parents without saying goodbye. 'Looks like I'm in for a whole year's worth of scolding…And it's gonna be hard making an alibi…' Riku thinks as he says his goodbyes to his friends, "Well then, tomorrow guys." Riku then proceeds to walk away, leaving Sora and Kairi.
The latter then says her goodbyes as well, "See you tomorrow, Sora!" Kairi waves at Sora before walking back to the direction of her home, leaving Sora to his own devices…
"Now, how should I talk my way out of the why-I-disappeared-for-one-year thing, since there's no way that she'll believe that I travelled worlds!…But still, I should apologize to mom. I really must have worried her a lot. I guess I'll start by cleaning the house! She did left, after all. But then there goes another problem…What am I supposed to eat?!" Sora plans off his alibi and survival tactics as he starts walking towards the eastern residential district…
-15 minutes later-
-Mikado Residence-
3rd person POV
"The lights are on…Oh crap, she's home!" Sora murmurs as he hides behind a group of tall bushes in front of his house. "I guess I have no choice…Let's do this!" Sora stands up with courage, and bravely marches towards his home, "I have taken the death stare of Hades, the hot flames of Malificent, the punches of Hercules, and even the blade of Sephiroth! I can't lose to a whole night of scolding!" Sora reassures himself as he opens the door of the house, and entered…
Meanwhile, Ryoko Mikado was cleaning the bedroom of the second floor, when she heard the sound of someone opening the main door of the house…
"Maybe it's Oshizu? But I thought I told her to look over the house at Sainan…" She picks up the cleaning tools, and proceeds to the living room below…
Only to find a young boy drinking water by the couch…
She stares at the young man, slowly recognizing his features, while the boy was filled with fear to what might Ryoko do to him, that he even spit the water he's drinking when he saw her…
'That hair…Those eyes…It can't be!' Ryoko shed tears and covers her mouth as the boy comes near her and speaks, "I'm so sorry, mo-" Before he could finish, Ryoko glomps him into a hug as she shouts, "Welcome home, Sora!" Ryoko then looks at Sora in the eyes, still in tears, "I promise I'll never forget about you again!" She ruffles Sora's hair as she spoke…
'This warmth…I haven't felt this in a long time…But what did she mean by she won't forget again?!' Sora thinks as Ryoko cups his right cheek with her hand, and starts speaking again, "Are you hungry? I can make dinner right now. I'll even make your favorite!" Sora was…shocked. She wasn't this…doting before. Maybe disappearing for one year softened her up?
"I'm so sorry, mom. And," Sora hugs his mother, "I really missed you…I'm really sorry for worrying you…" Sora says as Ryoko returns his hug while shedding tears of happiness…Full of joy to see her son once again.
A year of separation really does test the strength of one's bonds with family…
…And so, after that, they begun cleaning the house together…
-An hour later-
"Aaaawwww…What are you so shy for?" Ryoko questions as she pulls her son into the bathroom. She wears nothing but a towel from her chests to her thighs. "I'm your mom! There's nothing to be shy about! Ufufufu…"
"Oh come on! I'm fifteen, mom! I'm not supposed to take a bath like some unwashed 5 year-old! That's awkward!" Sora retorts as he giving off all his strength to break free of his mother's arms, "Please, just take a bath alone already!"
"Now, now, don't be shy. Just let mom wash you and it will be okay!" Ryoko kept teasing Sora, whose face is as red as tomato already. "Please stop! Uwaaahh!" Sora screams as he runs out of energy, and gets dragged into the bathroom with his mother…
"Ara, ara, what kind of person takes a bath with a towel on? Please take that off."
"I don't wanna!"
"Then I'LL remove them myself! Here I come, little boy!"
"NO! Uwaaahhh! Stop!" Screams and cries can be heard from the Mikado residence that night…
For Sora, it was indeed a better option if he sneaked in at night instead…
Baths have never been this awkward…
-After the bath-
"That was refreshing!" Ryoko says as she stretches her arms. Nothing beats a good bath after cleaning and dinner indeed.
"Yes it was. But why are you in my bedroom?!" Sora questions his mother's presence, which was for him, quite awkward.
"And why can't I? I just want to make sure that my son doesn't disappear again! And it's been a while since mom hugged you. I don't have a lot of free time, you know. Being a physician of a school is tiring, yet fun. Oh, and speaking of school…" Ryoko then ponders in thought, before continuing, "Say, why not transfer to Sainan high? That way, I won't have to travel back, and we have a house on the neighboring city, anyway." Sora was about to reply his opinion, but Ryoko interrupted him, "And no, I'm not leaving you here. Not after what happened last year…"
'She has a point. I guess I'll just obey her. I should stop worrying her, at least. I'd avoid being grounded.' Sora thinks as Ryoko hugged him tight, as if preventing him from going anywhere…
"I'll…transfer. But at least, let me tell Riku and Kairi." Sora tells his mother, and she nodded in affirmation. But before they can fall asleep, Ryoko asks one more question, "So, during last year, where were you? And what happened?" Sora only looked away, and it took a few seconds before he replied, "…I'll tell you about it…When we're in Sainan. I'm tired right now. But if you really want to know now-" He didn't get to finish as Ryoko puts a finger on his lips, "Oh shush. That's not exactly important right now. I don't really care that much as long as you're safe, alright? Just rest and relax, okay?" Sora just nods, and closes his eyes…And so does Ryoko…
'Sainan, huh? I wonder what's life gonna be like in there…In the big city…' Sora wonders as he starts falling asleep…
And done! That was quite short, indeed. But this is just the introductory chapter! I reserved the 'juicy' parts for the next chap! Will Sora also get dragged to the 'misadventures' that's happening in Sainan recently? Find out on the next episode of Dragon ba-oh, wrong anime.
A-ahem. Find out on the next chapter of TLR:TnO!
I'd really like to hear your opinion on my portrayal of characters, actually. Honestly, I have a feeling that I did them to be a little too OOC. So please, tell me what you think! Constructive criticisms are also welcome!
Till next time!
Safety and peace, dear readers!
