Hi, peoples! This is my first KH fanfic and I hope you'll enjoy it!
Riku: I hope you don't make me OOC in this...
Me: I'm trying my hardest! T-T Kairi, could you do the disclaimer?
Kairi: Mustangs-kid-1 does not own anything from Kingdom Hearts, except for-
Me: Don't tell them that yet!
Sora: Read and Review!
It was typical day on Destiny Islands, though a sparring could be heard between Sora and Riku. Kairi watched and cheered on as the two clashed with wooden swords. Both of them fought for her attention, though not openly showing so. As they clashed with fury, their stamina and strength evenly matched each other. They pushed off, landing on opposite sides of the small island.
Riku climbed onto the Paopu tree growing from the edge and leapt from it, pulling a cunning aerial attack on his friend, taking him by surprise. Sora tried desperately to block Riku's sword, but the force of the blow knocked him off his feet and left him eating sand. Riku had won this round.
Kairi cheered and ran to him, giving him a victory hug. Sora stood to dust himself off and shakily walked over to his friends, weary from the match that just took place. Riku threw an arm around Sora's neck and noogied his friend.
"Sora, you're getting better. Maybe you'll beat me one day," Riku said with a smirk.
Sora pushed him away, grinning, "Of course I will! You won't be the best forever!"
They laughed and began to walk off the pier, but Kairi remained frozen in her spot. Only shortly after they began walking away did they notice her absence and went back for her. She seemed like she was just staring off into the sky. Sora looked puzzled at her blank expression and waved a hand in front of her face.
"Hey Kairi, are you coming or what?" Sora asked.
A few seconds pass, she raised her hand and pointed slowly toward the sky almost trance-like. The boys looked up, trying to find what she was pointing to. When she found her voice, she said wavering.
"Something's falling from the sky!"
Riku ran to the Paopu tree and climbed to the top, trying to get a better look. He peered out, surprised at what he saw.
"It's a person!" Riku said alarmed.
"We have to do something!" Sora exclaimed.
"What can we do?" Kairi asked.
Riku hopped off the tree and faced his friends. "We can save them," he said simply.
Looking at Sora, he nodded and the two sprinted to the edge of the tiny island before entering the crystal clear water. The falling person crashed into the water, a large spray shooting upward upon impact. Being swifter, Riku dove under, searching almost panicky to find the sinking person. He then saw the being sinking deeper and deeper into the watery depths.
His oxygen supply quickly fleeting, he rose to the surface and took a deep breath before diving again. The pressure around his body grew as he submerged deeper, but he was determined to save the person from downing. With a thrust, he pushed himself and latched onto the person's arm. He struggled to swim upward due to the extra weight slowing him down. At that oment, Sora appeared from above, and took hold of the person.
Together, they surfaced, breaking the surface of the water. They greedily took deep breaths of air. They carefully paddled back to shore as Kairi waited for them. They threw themselves on the sand as they tried to regain their air supply in their lungs.
Coughing and hacking caught the three's attention. They turned to a drenched and dripping girl, who they just saved! Relief filled the air, but only to fade away when blood mixed into the sand.
"She's injured!" Kairi exclaimed.
Riku and Sora scrambled to see the girl's wounds. Three long gashes ran down her side and bruises scattered around her body. Riku gingerly picked her up with some help from Sora just as she blacked out. They raced across the beach, trying to help the stranger in need.
Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Wakka watched the girl's unconscious body as she breathed silently on the small bed. They sat quietly in the small hut on the tiny island. Before they layed her down, something wrapped in soft, now wet, canvas fell from her. From under the cloth came a bright, metallic glint. Riku lifted it and checked to see what it was.
"We shouldn't mess with her stuff," Kairi warned.
Riku sighed as he put it down on the small table. Wakka had ran out to find a potion, or some medical items. Kairi looked over at the girl, scanning over her features and her wounds. Every so often she wound twitch or her head wound move side to side, but her face was mostly expressionless.
"I wonder how she got hurt…," Kairi thought aloud.
Sora looked at Riku. "You think it's something we d-"
Before he could finish, Riku interrupted.
"Of course not! Her wounds were way to serious to be something we did!" he replied.
Sora looked down and shrugged. "Yeah…I guess…"
Riku adverted his eyes back to the girl's sole object. The light glinted off the bit of metallic surface to which peaked his curiosity. He disregarded Sora's words and unwrapped the cloth from the object, revealing two shiny objects. His eyes widened as the cloth landed softly on the ground. Sora was entranced with it as well.
"Woooooaaah-" Sora gasped.
In Riku's hand were two swords. One was a small double-edged sword with a blue hilt in the middle. The two blades were glistening black and silver that were sharp and lethal. The other sword was bigger that was shaped in a sort of dragon or demon wing. It was greenish blue and yellow colored and had sharp edges on the jagged side. It had a curved hilt and a grey handle in the middle for backhanded or front-hand combat. A keychain with a little symbol dangled of the end of the hilt.
"Please…don't take them…," a hoarse voice cried.
Riku almost dropped the swords as he turned to the girl.
"Please…it's the only…thing…I have…,"she nearly choked.
She fell back on the bed, her black bangs nearly covering her eyes. The three of them began to panic. Wakka ran in just in time, helping her sit up and calm her down. When she managed to sit up, pain shot up from her wounds. Wakka offered her a small bottle of green liquid. She grabbed it hesitantly, opening it and nearly gagging at the scent of it.
She took a breath and downed the liquid, finding it was tasteless. Almost instantly, her wounds began to heal and close. She touched her side in awe.
"Sweet..," was all she could manage.
Here reply earned some questionable looks from the others. Sora walked up to the girl and smiled his trade mark smile.
"Hi! I'm Sora!" he introduced himself.
"I'm Adena!" the girl replied and returned the smile.
Riku raised a silver eyebrow then chuckled.
"I'm Riku, and you're fairly open for someone surrounded by strangers," he said.
Adena shrugged. "I like to give people the benefit of the doubt."
"I'm Waka," said the tanned boy, walking out. "I'll be back with some more stuff."
Kairi came closer to Adena. "I'm Kairi, so where did you come from?" she asked.
"Yeah! Where did you come from?" Sora added.
Adena thought for a minute, crossing her arms. She had an almost strained look on her face.
"I-…I don't remember…," Adena said sadly.
Riku, Sora, and Kairi looked at each other.
"She might have amnesia..," Riku concluded.
"Amne-wha?" Sora questioned.
"She can't remember things well," Kairi explained. "She might have gotten it when she fell from the sky."
"Ooooh," Sora replied, then turning back to Adena. "So what do you remember?"
Adena looked at the swords in Riku's hand. "Well, I know those are mine," she said, pointing to them. "I forgot the big one, but the small one is hand-crafted." She paused, then continued. "I like music, I draw, I'm 13, I apparently fell from the sky…er...that's it really…"
"That's not much to go on…," Riku muttered.
"Well, I guess you're stuck with us!" Sora said with a cheesy smile, earning a playful shove from Kairi.
Adena returned the smile. "I guess that's the case," she replied and looked at Riku who looked uninterested. She started to plot things in her mind.
First thing to do here, get Riku to like her, or at least be friends.
"So…where am I?" she asked.
"You're in Destiny Islands!" Sora answered immediately.
"Destiny Islands….has a nice ring…," Adena mumbled to herself. "Oh, thank you for saving me."
Sora rubbed the back of his head embarrassed while Riku looked away.
"It was nothing, really," Riku replied.
"Yeah, no problem at all!" Sora added.
Kairi giggled while Adena just smile.
She could get used to this.
