I know I probably shouldn't be starting another story but I just can't seem to get Kingdom Hearts out of my head lately so I thought I'd write a story where both Riku and Sora get the girl. Honestly, I haven't decided who's going to end up with who yet so opinions are highly appreciated. And just to let you know, Hikari only starts out this way(weak and sickly), that's only going to last for another few chapters.

It was beyond strange.

Hikari raised her right hand in front of her amber eyes as she relaxed on the beach of Destiny Islands. She was up early as usual to watch the amazing sunrise as she anxiously awaited the beginning of a new day. She was always excited to spend time with her new friends, especially since they began making plans to leave the island.

But lately she'd been having the strangest dreams. She dreamed about being asked strange questions, fighting strange creatures that kept on appearing, hearing a weird voice, and something about a door, always a door. . .

She shook her head as she stood up and brushed the sand from her black skirt. She pulled her black vest on over her white t-shirt and pulled her black sneakers back on. The others would get there soon. She smiled as she imagined the looks on their faces after not having seen her in such a long time. Imagining the look on Sora's face especially, she giggled.

Hikari had always had a weak body so she had never been allowed to leave her home on the main island until recently. That was when she met Sora and he introduced her to Riku and Kairi. She'd hung out with them for a few weeks before she'd gotten sick again. Now that she was better, she couldn't wait to help them with the raft.

She made her way onto the dock as soon as she caught sight of a canoe in the distance. She smiled widely as she spotted a girl with short red hair and a boy with spiked brown hair. She waved to them as they paddled closer to the dock. Finally, Sora jumped out of the boat and swam the rest of the way. He climbed the ladder and gave Hikari a tight hug.

Hikari blushed as she felt him surround her with his warmth. She hesitantly raised her thin arms to hug him back just as Kairi climbed out of their canoe. She put her hands on her hips. "Sora! You just left me there!"

He pulled away from Hikari and scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. "Sorry, but I saw Hikari, and it's been so long, so I just-"

"I get it," Kairi sighed. "I swear, whenever you're not here, Hikari, Sora just isn't the same."

Hikari smiled. Kairi thought that Sora liked her as more than just a friend. The truth was that they simply thought of each other as siblings and Sora liked Kairi although he refused to admit it.

"So where's Riku?" Hikari asked, pushing some strands of her white blond hair out of her face. "He didn't come with you guys?"

"He said he'd come later," Sora answered.

"Alright so let's work on the raft while we wait for him then," Kairi said excitedly.

"Sounds good," Sora nodded before glancing at Hikari nervously. He knew about her condition and didn't want her to work so much. She smiled back at him reassuringly. He relaxed before making his way over to the beach.

Hikari turned to Kairi to ask her about what she needed her to find. A slow smile spread across her face when she found that Kairi's eyes were following Sora. "You know, you could help him."

Kairi blushed. "H-he's fine. And he likes you."

"Oh, really?" Hikari giggled as she walked away.

Kairi ran to catch up with her. "You know you don't have to work. You could keep me company by the shack. Please?"

Hikari smiled. "Sure, it would be better for me anyway."

They sat and talked by the shack for a while about their plans for the future.

"I really hope we find where you came from, Kairi," Hkari said as she gazed up at the paopu trees on the separate island.

"I'm happy the way things are now," Kairi replied. "Anyways, where's Sora? He didn't even ask me about the supplies he needs to get."

"He's probably napping on the shore," Hikari snickered.

"Of course he is," Kairi sighed. "I'll go get him."

"I'll come with you."

As predicted, they found him asleep on the beach. They grinned at each other as they snuck up to him and stood over him, ready to surprise him as soon as he woke up. His cerulean blue eyes opened slightly as he sat up and yawned before laying back down and spotting them.

He cried out as he finally spotted the two girls. They broke out laughing as he stood up and glared at them playfully. "Very funny, guys."

"Sorry, Sora," Hikari said as she finally managed to gain control of her laughter. "But we just couldn't resist."

"Besides, you're being lazy," Kairi added.

"I'll say," a voice called from behind them.

They all turned to find a tall, older boy with silver hair and green eyes standing there, holding a log. It was Riku. He tossed the log to Sora, knocking him off-balance. "And shouldn't you two be doing something to help out?"

Hikari blushed when Riku glanced her way and stayed silent. She'd always admired Riku. His strength, his leadership skills, his maturity. . . And it certainly helped that he was very good-looking.

"Well, it looks like we've been found out," Kairi said, embarrassed.

"Yup," Hikari said, shyly glancing at Riku.

Riku flopped down on the sand next to Sora.

"Okay, let's finish it together," Kairi stated suddenly. "We'll race you guys!"

"What? Are you kidding?" Riku asked, exasperated.

Hikari smiled as Kairi said, "Ready? Go!"

And they were off, smiling and laughing as they ran across the shore. Hikari was the farthest one behind, taking her time as she made her way across the beach. It was times like this when she cursed her weak body. She couldn't even sit in the sun for longer than fifteen minutes. When she finally made it there, she found Sora and Kairi waiting patiently for her beside the shack. Riku was probably lounging against the paopu tree on the separate island, already done collecting his share of the materials.

"Hikari," Kairi smiled apologetically upon seeing her. "Sorry for leaving you behind like that. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Is it okay for me to help Sora collect his materials?"

"Sure, but are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine," she was starting to get annoyed but she knew her friend had a good reason to be worried about her. Last time, Hikari had passed out after staying in the sun for too long. "I'll make sure to stay in the shade for most of the day this time."

"Okay."

"Come on," Sora grabbed her hand and made his way across the beach. She found the supplies and he carried it. Keeping her promise to Kairi, she made sure to stay closer to the shade. After finally finding all the supplies and bringing them back to Kairi, the three teens made their way up the stairs in the shack and across the bridge to join Riku as the sun began to set, ending their blissful day together.

Sora sat between Kairi and Hikari as they watched the horizon and talked about their trip. Hikari knew that she would never be able to join them on their trip but she loved to imagine what could have been. She could have seen Kairi's hometown and met tons of new people. She could have gotten closer to Riku and stayed together with Sora and Kairi.

But who knew how long it would be before she wold die? The doctors kept saying she would only last until twenty at most, that gave her another six years. And that was if she made sure to take all of her meds. Still, she refused to believe that she would die that soon.

As she thought of all of this she heard Riku say, "Thanks, Kairi."

"You're welcome," she smiled.

As they walked back across the bridge, Hikari turned to Kairi and asked, "What was he thanking you for?"

"You weren't listening?" Kairi asked. Hikari shook her head. "Oh, I thought I saw you zoning out for a second there. He was thanking me for giving them the idea to leave the island."

"Hmm. . . " Hikari glanced back at the two boys who were taking their time.

"What's wrong? You're not jealous are you? Because Riku-"

"No, it's fine. I'm not," Hikari lied. She knew that Kairi liked Sora but she couldn't help but feel a little jealous whenever Riku paid Kairi so much attention.

Meanwhile, Riku called out to Sora, "Sora!"

Sora turned and barely managed to catch the star-shaped fruit that Riku tossed to him. "A paopu fruit?"

"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives, no matter what. C'mon, I know you want to try it," Riku laughed as he began to walk past him.

Sora grinned as he called after Riku, "Don't you want to try it too?"

Riku paused and it was Sora's turn to laugh as he tossed the fruit into the water and walked past him.

Does it suck? Leave your opinions in the reviews. Should I trash this or should I continue?
