Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sora Kobayashi



Hideki's shadow began to shift around, and change until it looked like it could have been Sora's shadow. Nothing seemed to have been happening to Hideki himself, nor did he seem to notice. "I didn't think he had so much despair that would enable our separation" Sora's voice seemed to echoed as a hand rises from the shadow.

Sora seemed to be dragging herself out from Hideki's shadow. It was as if she was pulling herself back into existence from the strength of will alone. The truth was that she stripped Hideki of any negative emotion to fuel her escape. She didn't expect to be able to get out so soon.

However one thing is clear.... Sora isn't human anymore...





Hideki noticed that the phantom Sora disappeared from his dream. When she disappeared he remembered despair. The feeling was there, but not as strong as before. Perhaps in knowing he wasn't alone anymore.

It was hours later but Hideki would eventually wake up. The creature that had come from his shadow was vanished by the time he was awake. He was still a little confused. He wasn't sure if he should be happy, sad, or angry. So many things happened at once its a little difficult to process it all. It felt as if everything he knew up to this point was a lie, and Sora had to pay the price.

When he thought about Sora despair had set in. She was an innocent girl who was dragged into unnecessary despair, and grief that never belonged to her in the first place. It was as if his negative emotion was thrust upon her, and she had to live with it without even knowing why.

In a way he felt as if he killed her so he could live again. Thinking about it that way it really did sound quite cruel. She didn't deserve this. So suddenly 'die' without knowing why. Perhaps it didn't matter since in the end the soul was the same to begin with.

What should he do? When would these conflicting emotions die down?

Hideki turned over to his side. It was pretty late so it probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to go back to sleep for the night. Something felt a little off. It was like whatever sucked out the negative emotion was suddenly gone. He closed his eyes, and was asleep soon.

The thing that looks like Sora went into Sora's dorm. She went to continue Sora's habit of making a cake before going to sleep. This time it was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. There were strawberries in it, but other than that it was pure chocolate.

The girl smiled when the cake was finished. It turned out perfectly. For once she wasn't being weighed down my Hideki's memories, or emotions. For now she is just Sora. Or at least on the outside. Who can be sure about the soul. But perhaps, that didn't matter. It didn't to Sora.

Sure the soul could be different, but the memory, and personality were the same. "I don't know what happened... but I'm glad it did" she spoke quietly before placing the delicious cake in a box, then went off for bed.



Sora woke up when the sun rose. A much earier time than she would have normally woken up. Strangely she was more wide awake than she would have been normally. Perhaps she didn't need as much sleep as she would have normally. Or because she didn't have to relive Hideki's memories for once.

When the sun rose Hideki was awake. He stretched out his arms a little bit before getting up. Any fatigue, or soreness he had before where all gone by now. It was nice to actually be able to more around normally.

Hideki couldn't help but to smile. With all the negative emotions cleared up he couldn't be help but to be happy. It was a relief to feel something other than despair. "That sounds nice" he said. He stood up, and stretched a bit. It wasn't hard to get used to his normal body again. The cut on his face had healed, and the scar was as it was normally.

He glanced out the window to the scenery. He couldn't help to feel as if he was still dreaming.

Sora left her dorm, living her life as if nothing had happened. But there was one difference. Unlike before she went back to wearing skirts with her school uniform. People took notice. They also noticed how her skin need lighter than normal. Nearly a porcine white.
