Smother {Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy Reader Insert} {Finished}

Chapter 9

An alarm going off had woken you from your slumber. As your eyes fluttered opened you noticed the boys had fallen asleep on the pull out couch as well. Sora was on your left, curled into a ball as your head was resting on top of his side. Vanitas was all sprawled out, one of his legs on top of yours while the rest of him was hanging off the couch. The alarm woke all three of you, Vanitas snorting with annoyance as he felt his way for the source of the noise and turned it off, tossing the phone off the side of the couch. You sat up and stretched, never feeling so good in a long time. You had to admit to yourself that you felt well rested as you continued to stretch, waiting for the boys to stir awake. When they had finally woken up, the three of you prepared for the school day. 

The day went by rather quickly as you were actually enjoying your time there. Each class went by and you had the energy to begin taking notes and paying attention to the lesson. You were smiles all day, chatting with everyone during lunch and even eating school lunch without a fuss. Everyone also seemed to have taken to your new attitude as they seemed to gravitate towards you more than usual. You sat with the girls at lunch, being able to socialize with them and listen to them giggling over some of the silliest things. You joined them regardless, enjoying the cat videos Kairi was showing you from her phone. You exchanged contact information with Kairi, Namine, and Xion with glee. You noticed the amount of people slowly gathering in your contact list, having more than just 2 now. It was this point where anyone else who never had your number received it, sending you silly emojis throughout the rest of the school day.

Kairi, Namine, Xion, Noctis, Riku, Sora, Ventus, Roxas, Axel, Vanitas... Your new large group of wonderful friends.

You ended the day by waving goodbye to everyone and made your way back home. You have been avoiding the house for a while, so much so that Rufus had even asked that you came home that night. You didn't want to piss him off much longer, so you decided to deal with the consequences and trudge home. You couldn't avoid him forever. You had to go back eventually.

As you were approaching the house you noticed a familiar black vehicle parked in the street right in front. With a raised eyebrow you opened the front door and peeked in, your eyes immediately darting to the living room where Rufus usually took his guests. That's when you noticed a familiar couple sitting on the living room couch, one casually leaning against the back while the other was doing the opposite and leaning forward. Rufus was standing on the other side of the coffee table, a small glass of what you assumed to be whisky in hand.

The three men noticed your appearance when you closed the door. Rufus motioned for you to come in, in which you obliged with a shaking breath.

"Glad to see you {Y/N}!" Rufus said with a devious smile. "I hate that this needed to be brought up again, but these gentlemen need to speak with you."

You flinched. Rude and Reno were in your house, both wearing black suits and sunglasses. With wide eyes you suddenly remembered why they seemed so familiar to you when you initially met them; they were the agents who spoke to you when you found your mother. Why were they here? Did they find the culprit?

"We're sorry for the intrusion." Reno was like a blank slate, which threw you off from his usual tone. "We need to retrace our steps and reevaluate everyone we've spoken to before. That includes you. We feel as if we missed some valuable information."

You felt almost stuck. Your feet were glued to the floor as you looked at them. You didn't want to repeat that horrific moment even if it was for her benefit. You already answered their questions, what more could they need from you? Your voice was stuck in your throat as you attempted to get the words out, but you simply couldn't speak.

"You're not in trouble." Rude stood to his feet and approached you. You winced as he reached out to place a hand on your shoulder in an attempt for comfort. "Everything will be okay, just please answer our questions with as much accuracy as possible."
