That's when Billy raised an eyebrow. He decided to try a different tactic. "Okay then. Mind if I ask you another question? Why do you train so much? Is it to protect someone?" He asked, leaning against his podium.

Sora’s breath was trembling from his place on the courtroom floor. His heart was racing the way it would during a fight but this was not a fight he could simply beat his way out of. In a fight like this he would tell the truth...why would he fight back? Why would he lie and possibly hurt others? 

Usually he wouldn’t. But this was a fight he couldn’t lose...because if he did... 

“I train because I don’t want anyone else getting hurt...” 

Sorrow lined his words and guilt creeped in.

“I want to protect people... It’s...It’s what I do...”

He swallowed hard.

( xskullgrunt ) "Stop faking it kid!" He was becoming angry at the child. "I'll give ya real training!" X pushed down Sora. "Show me you're limbs kid!" He seemed to already be using violence for his answer. "BECAUSE WE ARE ALL GONNA BE DEAD IF YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING."

Sora had been ready for something to happen, more screaming or childish words perhaps but he hadn’t been expecting to be pushed to the ground. He winced slightly as he hit the ground but quickly pushed himself up. Reflexes kicked in and for just a moment he reached out to the side with his right hand. 

But no keyblade came. The comfort and defense he usually sought was gone.Sora was reaching a tipping point. But, he wouldn’t back down. He couldn’t back down. 

“EVERYONE ISN’T GOING TO DIE IF I DON’T SHOW MY ARM!” 

He yelled, his voice trembling ever so lightly. Someone would die if he was wrong. Someone innocent…but the person they’d all point to if he showed his arm was innocent too. He just knew they were. 

“Just stop focusing on me and Kairi already! Leave her alone!”

"Hey Kiddo...." Billy said, looking towards Sora from his podium. "You can't get a scratch that bad from 'bumping' into something. Plus I thought you said you were training?" He asked, looking him over. This boy confused him. Ever since he got here he could sense what people were feeling and feel it himself. Pain in his ass honestly. "I can tell you're lyin for some reason.... Savin' someone else in this situation ain't gonna do ya any good if ya end up dead too."

“I was training. I did hurt myself while i was training. I bumped into something and it cut my arm…” 

He repeated his same excuse again and again. 

Within his heart anxiety and fear were swirling about. And yet, there was determination. It was overriding the fear. The determination to fight, to keep going despite people questioning him. 

“There’s nothing else to it...okay..? Why won’t you believe me?” 

He was fighting. but for what..? [ @crystalpendium ]

CS Trial Lyall: Kid... I'm awful sorry about this but I think we're gonna need to see what's underneath the bandages. I don't wanna doubt you at all, I don't. But in order to trust you I need you to show us... please.

Trust...his trust was on the line if he didn’t show what was underneath his bandages. 

They all wanted to see, were all demanding. But...

“I can’t.” 

He stated. 

“It doesn’t matter either. so just drop it!” 

[caelum-et-ventus-blog]

(xskullguy) "Show the damage! Or the scratch will not be the only one there! Cause' I'll fist ya so hard that you'll be sad."

Sora actually froze upon those words. Not because of the threat...but rather what was being asked of him...

“no.” 

He said after a moment or two of silence.

( xskullguy ) "Don't bump to scratch you!" He seemed to grow more angrier by the second. "Don't lie boi."

“Yes it can!” 

He’s standing his ground, and in fact seems to be putting more effort into his argument. 

“I’m not lying! So just leave it alone!” 

[ @xskullguy ] 

[caelum-et-ventus-blog]

(xskullguy) He hunched over making himself look like a crook. He seemed to have a hard time believing this kid. "No good enough, how did injury happened? Do not lie boy."

“I already told you how it happened! I bumped stuff over and cut myself!” 

He tried to seem more confident and crossed his arms. He must have gotten a hell of a cut, because while the blood splotches weren’t too large, they were all over his forearm. Implying that the healing wound was large, or at least covered a decent area of his forearm.

THE ALPHA RAT IS HERE )) xskullguy : "YO HOW DID INJURED SELF?" The guy seemed to forget, how to do some proper English.

“How did..?” 

Sora blinked, baffled at first before realizing what the guy meant. 

“Oh! uh, I uh” 

He paused for a moment, as if he were thinking about something then spoke. 

“I cut myself on something when transforming. It’s kinda hard to control what your limbs are doing when you’re turning in and out of different animals, you know?”

CS Trial ; "Sora, about the long sleeves, I don't mind if you tell anyone. It will get them to leave you alone. So, just go ahead and explain why you wear them. I wont mind." - Kairi (fortunaex)

“kairi...” Sora was silent, all traces of the happy facade he had put up earlier having vanished. The expression on his face was worried and pained, and should someone be able to look into his heart they’d see a swirling mess of anxiety, fear, and worry. But what were they directed towards? What was their source? After a few moments the brunet lowered his gaze, his lips tugged into a frown. He couldn’t keep saying the cold excuse anymore...not with Kairi’s words... So, reluctantly, he rolled up the sleeve of his right arm. 

Pulling the sleeve away revealed bandages. 

they wrapped all around his forearm, concealing some kind of wound. However, it didn’t seem to be fresh, as the wrappings only had a few splotches of blood here and there. 

“....I hurt myself while I was training...” 

He said. 

“I...I got scared people would suspect me so I didn’t tell anyone.” 

He looked towards Kairi, his expression pained. And yet, he was smiling...  

“I’m sorry for lying.” 

[ @fortunaex ] 

[caelum-et-ventus-blog]

Are you sure? Cause if you're injured or something? If we, we need to get you help.

“I’m fine! If I was hurt I would’ve bled through the sleeve, wouldn’t I?” 

He waved his right arm to show off the sleeve. Indeed, it was completely clean. 

“See? no blood! all good!” there was a small flash of white though…

CS Trial: So Sora, what's up with the sleeves? I just wanna make sure that you're not lying, or hiding things. And I wanna make sure that we can keep you safe too.

“nothing’s up my sleeves! honest! I just got cold... I’ll be fine.”

He swallows hard then lets out a soft breath. This man almost remind him of his dad with that tone of voice...

“Sorry if I’m making you worry...I’m fine...”

CS Trial Connor: Connor had noticed something strange during his interaction with Sora during the trial. Even the way he talked was like he knew something... Connor just couldn't figure out what. He decided to press on a little. "Uh, Sora?" Connor asked, "What's with the long sleeves? Normally it seems like you wear short ones... but never long,"

“My long sleeves?” 

Sora blinked as Conner asked him about his sleeves. He looked down at his right arm before waving his right hand. He gave a playful smile, though it looked a tad sheepish. 

“I just got cold! I usually wear short sleeves cause it’s usually pretty warm out.” 

He didn’t look at Kairi or Riku as he said that...

CS Connor: Ah, hey! Is it ok to ask you about where you were during the time of murder? And also if you noticed anything weird last night?

“It’s okay. I’ll help in any way I can. I was in my room the whole night practicing my power so I didn’t really see anything...Sorry.” 

He rubbed one of his eyes after he had finished speaking, a soft yawn escaping him.

(Hi Yume.)

hello there! 

[ @warriorsofcrimsonrealms ] 

[caelum-et-ventus-blog]

Is Yume up for dinner? I'd bet she would be very tasty. :3

aNON NO.

"Hey, Sora? Are you doing okay?" Of course, with all the nightmares and death, he didn't expect Sora to be his usual sunny self, but that didn't mean he wouldn't check up on him. Not to mention, the sudden switch to long sleeves had caught the replica's eye, and he had a bad feeling it wasn't just because of a chill.

“oh, Riku.” 

Sora turned to look at what he believed to be his friend. Despite the exhaustion and his own emotions running amok the boy somehow managed to smile at the sight of Riku. 

“I’m fine...just kinda tired. I’m...I’m more worried about you and Kairi though.” He did his best to force down the ache that formed in his chest when he mentioned Kairi. She was still avoiding him...still trying to hide from him. Even after he had told her that he was fine and alright. ...He had to find her...he had to find a way to fix this no matter what.
