I've been having this weird thoughts lately, like is any of this for real or not?
Endless thoughts were racing through Sora's head, the sounds of the waves slowly calmed him into sleep. But the dreams began to take over once again, they were always the same, being engulfed into a land of darkness, along with the creatures made out of the shadows, and then losing the two people most important to him. But most importantly, losing Riku to this darkness, he couldn't let that happen.
The dreams were interrupted by a familiar voice on the beach, "If you sleep all day, how will the raft get done"? Riku slowly laid next to the brunette and wrapped his arm around him. Sora laid closely to the male and grimaced "I had those dreams again, I don't know how to stop them". Riku looked at the boy in his arms and grinned "I don't know why you keep thinking I am going to leave you Sora, I am here to stay and that is never going to change".
Sora nodded but the dreams felt too real for him just to shake them off. Sora got up and held out his hands for Riku to get up as well. They were soon interrupted by Kairi, she was always seeming to linger around the both of them. Once Riku was up he had taken a hold of Sora's hand.
Kairi flashed the two a look between the two and frowned "Could you two be anymore gag worthy"? Sora lightly chuckled and then let go of the male's hand. "Jealous much Kairi"? Riku teasingly said. She then rolled her eyes at the two "Oh yes Riku let me tell you, I couldn't be anymore jealous". The three began to slowly make their way to the raft that they been constructing for the last week.
Once they stood in front of it, Riku whispered in the boy's ear "Tomorrow is the day, the day when we leave this place. I wouldn't want to be with anybody else but you". Kairi cleared her throat "You know I can still hear you perfectly fine, right"? Riku laughed "Of course, that is why I said it with you around, I mean you said you wern't jealous".
Kairi rolled her eyes at Riku and then shyly looked at the other boy "So I got all of the supplies you asked for". Sora thank her with a smile, but every time he looked at her she tried to avoid his gaze. "Weird" He mumbled under his breath. Maybe Riku was right, maybe she liked him more than a friend.
Sora looked up at the sky and noticed some black clouds rolling in "Hey guys, are we expecting a storm"? The girl amongst the group looked up at the sky "No, I don't think so". Riku simultaneously looked at the darkened sky, "If is it's going to storm then how do you explain the black sky, miss know it all". She slapped the male on the arm "I don't know it all thank you, I just haven't heard anything about a storm. That is all". Sora kept his attention on the sky, what would happen if there was a big storm would this affect their adventure?
They decided it was time to call it a night, they placed the raft into the nearby cave, and began to walk home. Kairi sighed "Well I will see you guys tomorrow". She then left the scene leaving the two boys behind. "Riku, are you sure you will never leave me"? Sora asked quietly. Riku wrapped an arm around him and became serious in the face, "Why would you think that I would leave you, ever"? He stopped walking and placed his palm under Sora's chin, carressing him.
A lone tear fell down Sora's cheek, "I can't lose you Riku, I just can't. You mean too much to me". Riku interupted him by placing his finger on the male's lips. "Shh it is okay, I am here and I will always be there for you, If not in person, I will be here". He pointed at the boy's heart. "In your heart, I will always stay there". The brunette pulled himself into the other boy's arms, wiping his tears on his chest. Riku pulled away and gently kissed him on his forehead, "C'mon before it gets too late, we have a big day ahead of us".
Sora took a few deep breaths, but got flustered once he saw his worst nightmare come to life, literally. A black puddle began taking form of the creatures he often dreamt about, he looked at Riku, who noticed them as well. "Open the door" a voice boomed in Sora's head. He grabbed his head in shock. "Sora"! Riku yelled. Sora looked up at the male "I will be fine, go alert the rest of the island. I need to get something". Riku bursted off, running around these shadow creatures to do as he was told.
Sora was now alone and the voice surged through his head again stating the same command. He threw his hands down and yelled "Stop"! Amongst the dark beach a bright light appeared from his hand. A large golden key was the cause of this emense light, which Sora gripped tightly, with everything that had happened he had taken his attention off of the creatures which were now approaching him. He took off in the opposite direction trying to find his way to the palm trees that the three spent their days, watching the sun rise and set.
On the way there he had problems with the beings, that were now infectting the entire island. Sora used this key to hit them, once they came in contact with the key they evaporated into a void of nothingness. Once he reached the platform with the palm trees he grabbed what he needed, a picture of the three together smiling and laughing. But what he faced once he turned around was worse than any of his nightmares and shadow that stood as tall as a skyscraper.
The voice returned with a new saying "Fight". Sora gripped tightly onto the key and prepared himself for the fight, something he had to accomplish. He didn't have much of a choice either way you looked at it. "Hopefully Riku and Kairi made it safely to the hideout". In that second he lifted his feet in the direction of the creature in front of him, with the key above his head.
"I am here and I will always be there for you, If not in person, I will be here".
"In your heart, I will always stay there". - Riku
