Chapter 2: Family knowledge and the life of a thief.
The strangest people make the greatest family -Kairi
The Leonhart House hold consisted of a happy family of four.
Mr. Leonhart had barely been transfered to Destiny Islands this summer, so he was currently busy with work. He was a well mannered man who loved his family. He worshiped his wife (because in this world it’s either worship or fear. And most of the times both). Was eager for his eldest. And absolutely adored his youngest. And he was also secretly a comic book and manga artist.
Just kidding.
But he did own a DeviantART account.
Mrs. Leonhart was a women with style.
Where do you think Sora got it from?
She was someone who was always trying something new and using her skills as an advantage. Like for example she was currently teaching zumba at the community center and taking kendo lessons. She loved her husband and sons and wanted them to express them selves in what ever way they wanted. Which was why she had funded Leon’s ‘spray painting the fence phase’ and bought Sora his trench coat, that he had refused to take off for a week. And she was a professional assassin.
Just kidding.
But she did play one in a movie once.
Leon was the first born. He was the silent type. But at the same time he wasn’t.
Yup he was the mysterious type as well.
Sora was the youngest Misaki.He was a cute little thing, with a big heart. And he was currently in his room.
Sora was laying on his belly, lazy kicking his feet in the air. He was writing things down and checking them off in a little blue notebook. The cute little boy had his duck backpack was next to him. He had taken out all the items inside and placed them all around him, putting them all in neat stacks.
“Ohkay let’s see green Finn snap band check, ’ady Rainicorn snap band check. Adventure Time logo sticker check, taco eraser numbwer three and blue glow stick numbwer 7.” ,Sora said as he he looked down at what he had written.
‘Now time for the real bidness.’
Sora flipped to any empty page and took out the silver pen/marker he stolen from his big brother.
That’s right he stole it and he was ashamed of himself. The little voice in his head had told him not to but Sora couldn’t help himself.
And worst of all he had only left a dollar and two sharpies to replace it.
Sora was a horrible brother.
Moving on.
Sora’s tongue peeked out of his mouth as he concentrated on writing down his game plan.
Sora’ Game Plan:
What I knows.
BMO Lunch box
Nice counter guy.
34.95
Sunday befor Skool.
Raise money.
I need..
‘Huh, how much more did he need?’
This called for a financial money check!
Sora scrambled for his backpack, sticking his hands in the pockets looking for his money.
Wait?
What’s this?
He pulled out the his money.
Seventy-five cents.
He had seventy-five cents.
As in three quarters.
In panic he started to shake his backpack.
“Sorry Mr.Duck.” Sora said “nothwing personal”
Nothing.
Oh. This couldn’t be!
Where were his six dollars?
What had happened to his money?
Sora’s big cerulean eyes began to water.
This must be punwishment for taking Leon’s marker. He knew he deserved it, but that didn’t mean he had to be happy about it. Nonetheless this was what a thief like him deserved.
“What have I done? My famwily will be so ashamed and Leon won’t love me anymore. I betwayed his trust. I ruined the famwily name. Mommy raised a thief! Im not a good boy anymore!” Sora cried rubbing his eyes with fist.
This must be Karma.
Wait, that’s it.
It was Karma!
All he had to do was apologize to karma and his family would forgive him!*
But what did karma look like?
Sora was about to start crying again when he saw a little white bear lying on the ground.
“What’s this?” Sora said picking it up.
He studied it carefully
“Karma?”

The Misaki house hold was also a four member family.
Mr.Misaki was a children phycologist. He was always trying to get his family to talk about their feelings. Most days he could be found in the town’s official cupcake store trying out new samples. He was usually in disguise, since he was on the store’s “watch out for wall”.
Mrs.Misaki worked as a photographer for a children’s fashion industry. She was a sucker for children and often tried to force he kids into cute outfits. She could also be found in the cupcake shop in disguise. Not because she was on the wall, she just loved costumes.
Kairi was the firstborn. Who had just barely turned twelve. She was natural redhead or at least that’s what she told people. If you asked any of her family members she would just smile and nod walk away mumbling ‘yes that is true’. She seems to be the only normal one in her family.
Riku was the youngest and he was well...
Kairi had gone through a fair amount of Riku moments. Or ‘the Riks’ moments she had named them. For the reason that he often talked in the third person referring himself as the Riks during these moments.
Her brother was a weird child, who never failed to to surprise her. In truth she should be used to it by now.
But this she had never expected.
“What?”, Kairi asked dumbfounded looking at the silver haired boy that was her brother.
The boy sighed.
“I said how does this marriage thing that’s been going around work?”
“Um..”
“Do you need a contract? Money? Is it a public approved of thing?”
“Sort of? ...um it’s-”
“Does age matter?”
“What do you mean?
“Like what if one is older than the other?”
“How old?”
“Six or seven.”
“Six or seven what?!”
“Could be nine or ten. Possibly even twenty.”
“What?!!!!?”
“You know what your are of no use. This convosatiowon is useless. I knew this would go bad. The Riks should have listened to the Riks, but nooo the Riks had to be stubborn. The Riks is now walking away.” and with that the young boy walked out of the room leaving Kairi alone.
“So it was one of those moments.”
Riku knew that talking o his sister the ‘natural redhead’ was going to be of no use.
The reason he asked was because older sisters were supposed to be helpful in these areas and mom was always telling people that Kairi was smart.
Apparently Kairi wasn’t smart and his mom was a liar.
‘I should have asked this person in the first place.’ Riku thought to himself as he started to drag a stool across the kitchen.
He pressed against the counter and began to climb on top of it. From there he crawled onto the counter and took the house phone which was on the side. Riku began to go through the contacts until he found the person he wanted and dialed.
“Hello?”
“Yes, this is Riku. May I speak to the girl known as Yuffie it’s urguwent.”
“Um...Sure.”
While Riku waited for Yuffie he pulled out a little note book from his pocket and a pencil.
Things were about to get serious and he needed to take notes.
“Hello~ Yuffie speaking. What can I do for you Riku boy?”
“Yes, I am calling about the whole marriage thing. How exactly does it work?”
“Marriage? Oh that. I’m guessing the angel said yes then?”
“um..”
“You proposed right?”
“What’s that?”
“You haven’t?! How long have you been dating?”
“Dating” (Robotic voice and head tilt.)
“Okay. When did you meet your angel? How long have you known them?”
“A day and for about five minutes. But I didn’t really talk to him?”
“Okay let me explain this to you. Before you get into the whole marriage thing you need to propose.”
“Propose?”
“But before you do that you need to be dating.”
“..”
“And before that you have to get to know him. You get what I mean right Ri-ri?”
“...”
“Riku?”
“...”
“Okay why don’t you start simple. Get to know tour angel, be their friend. Find out what he likes. How he is. You don’t want to marry some stranger. He could be an alien!”
“MY FUTUR MARRY PERSON-PARTNER IS NOT AN ALIEN!!!!!”
“Okay, Okay calm down I was just saying.”
“And anyways how am I supposed to get him to be my friend. I don’t even know where he lives.”
“Well what do you know about him?”
“He his name is Sora. And he’s an angel. He’s cute and prettyful. And has the biggest blue eyes I ever seen, they’re like the blueberry Airheads or the blue Jolly Ranchers o blue gummy bears. Oh and he has this cute little nose. And this ducky backpack. And-”
“Wait ducky backpack? I know a little boy with a ducky backpack!”
“Where? Where? Where?”
“I’ve seen him walking down the street with the green stop sign.”
“Do you know anything else? C’mon spill women! Spill!”
“I have to go now bye Ri-ri~”
The street with the green stop sign. That was just one house and a corner away from his house!
‘Angel here here I come!’
“Kairi! I’m going out!” Riku screamed before he ran out of the house and slammed the door shut.
******************************************************************************
Sora had watched a lot of soap operas with his mother, which surprisingly had nothing to do with soap.
While watching them he had noted three things.
1. There was a lot of crying.
2. The guy with the mustache was always the bad guy.
3. And ceremonies were a big thing.
Which was why he was holding one in his front yard. In honor of what he was now calling the great sorrying of Karma the bear.
All of his friends were there.
From Willy the whale to Jorge the Kangaroo. And even his giant teddy bear Jumbo. All of them were lined up ready to witness it all.
And at the head of them was Karma sitting proudly on a pillow.
‘Okay everyone is here time to begin.’
“Oh Mister Karma bear I have gathered my friends here today to witness the great sowrying from me to you. I have made a giant crime. So I stand here befow you all to tell you I am sowwy for what I has done. I-”
“Sora, honey what are you doing?”
Sora turned to look at his mommy standing at the front door.
“Oh, Hi mommy! I’m holding a cerwemony!”
“What for?”
“Well you see. I did something bad and I have to say sowwy to Karma the bear.”
“What did you do Sor-bear?” She said as she kneeled beside him. “Come on you can tell me.”
“You pwomise not to tell?” , Sora said in a whisper.
“Pinky promise”, she replied extending her pinky out to her son. Who gladly accepted it and sat on criss-cross applesauce on the grass. They were now sitting in front of each other legs crossed and holding hands. Surrounded by Sora’s stuffed toys.
Yup, they were definitely getting looks from the neighbors.
“I stole a markwer from Leon and my money was stolen as payback. So now I have to say sowry to Karma the bear to set the peace and unruin the family name. And then Leon will forgwive me and we’ll alls be happy!”, Sora finished throwing his arms in the air, eyes sparkling with excitement. He felt so proud of himself for telling his mommy the truth.
His mommy broke out into giggles.
“Silly Sora your money wasn’t stolen, you spent it all yesterday trying to win a toy in the claw machine.”
“I-I..I did?”
“Yup” she replied popping the ‘p’.
“But what about Karma the bear?”
“Your daddy got it for you after you lost.”
“Oh.”
“And I’m sure what ever you stole from Leon wasn’t so important he’d hate you for it. Your brother loves you. Just remember to come clean to him okay?” she said tickling him at the end.
“Okay” Sora said between giggles.
“Now, do you want help bringing your friends back inside?”
“No that’s otay. Were going to hold a meeting.”
“Okay, I’m going to be in the kitchen if you need anything.”
Sora waved bye to his mommy before turning back to his friends.
“Okay guys you take a break, I’ll be right back,”
******************************************************************************
‘Okay this is getting ridiculous’ Kairi thought as she watched he little brother knock on a door once again.
She had followed him after he ran out of the house and since then had been watching him go from door to door asking for someone named Sora.
“Come on Riku. Just give it up.” She told her brother as he once again came back with no word of Sora.
“Not until I find my Angel!” Riku replied stubbornly as he made his way to the next house.
“Riku you ca-”
“Hey Riku!! Kairi !!!!! What are you doing over there?!!!”
“Yuffie?”
“Hey! Lady where’s my angel?!!!”
“Who?”
Riku held his hand out for Kairi to take and together they carefully crossed the road. When they reached Yuffie, Riku immediately went up to her, arms crossed and glaring up at her.
“Where’s my angel?”
“Riku, I said the street with the green stop sign not the one across it.”
“Yeah,yeah whatever. Where’s my angel?”
“You mean Sora? He’s right next door.” And with that Riku took off leaving the two girls behind watching him.
“You know you could have just told him that.”
“Yeah, but where’s the fun in that?”
