DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS, SQUARE ENIX, FINAL FANTASY OR THE CHARACTERS WITHIN THIS STORY, ETC. ENJOY! ^_^
"I've been having these dreams lately . . . . Who are you? A witch who has control over Sora's memories. Is it that I'm not supposed to exist? No one will miss me . . . . Nah, I'm just sad.There are many worlds, but they share the same sky — one sky, one destiny"
Sora awakens after a weird dream- looking over to his side he finds Kairi, lying there beside him with her eyes closed in his room. He looks over to his clock and it shows 4:07 pm; wide awake, Riku watches over her and they both sit in silence. Sora looks around and begins to investigate the mess from the party last night, everyone he loved from Destiny Islands came.
"I hope we'll see them again"
Sora looks over to Riku confused and empty headed as he is, he thinks before he asks what he's talking about.
"Terra . . . and Aqua, I wonder what happened to them." -Kairi jumps up-
"Aqua? I know a Aqua, what does she look like? If she is a she that is." "Do you a Aqua from your journeys Sora?" She begins to lean over near him, with a questioning face.
Riku_ I thought you were sleep? Or did you plan on eavesdropping?
Kairi_ You treat me like a kid, you already mention it so who's Terra and Aqua?
Carefully listening in is Sora, he looks away pretending not to care for what Riku has to say.
Riku_ About a decade ago a woman was walking around our hangout, she introduced herself to Sora and I.
Sora_ Oh yeah! The lady with the blue hair! She's hot *blushes*
Kairi_ Sora! Keep your thoughts to yourself! Please continue Riku, also who's Terra?
Riku_ . . . . I . . . long time ago so I don't remember anymore.
Kairi_ Fine, I understand . . . Sora may blurt out how hot he was too, right Sora? *giggles* It's all coming back to me now, my home . . . it was called-
Sora_ Radiant Garden! Oh, If you want to continue though no problem.
Kairi _ That's it! You've broke my last nerve, what happened to you? I always thought you would never change. *She gets up and walks out of the room*
Sora_ Kairi! Wait, I'm just kidding don't take it the wrong way.
Riku_ Please stop yelling out her name like that, it's really annoying . . . .
"So, why do you remember these people anyways, and how come you know more than I do?"
"I'm just better than you." Riku smirks and turns to Sora, He can see that he's really offended now. "I'm kidding, don't start crying."
"Whatever . . . . I have to make things right again."
"You say that a lot, but what about Kairi? I hope you're talking about her, we aren't kids anymore. No more adventures or heartless, this is the real world . . . live it while you have the chance. You never know, maybe one day you'll have to use that key of yours again."
"You mean our keys again, we'll be side by side fighting. I won't loose you or Kairi agai-"
"THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME! *silence* I'll be ok, I just want you to take care of Kairi.
-Kairi is secretly standing outside the bedroom door, listening to every word-
I feel like I could be doing something else right now –She opens her cell and starts calling Selphie-
"Oh, so you're trying to help me win Kairi . . . . I guess I was acting like a jerk."
"Shh"
"Hey! Don't shh me!"
Kairi_ Hey, wanna go look for cute boys at the mall? Yeah, their store is huge but we won't find guys in Hello Kitty stores, Selphie. Ok, then let's pickup some pocky *Japanese candy*, meet you the entrance in 5! Sayonara Selphie-Chan
-She runs down the stairs and slams the door-
Sora_ I gotta go! My dad is really sick, have to drop by the drugstore!
Riku_ Isn't he on a cruise with your mom? Did you scare your parents away?
Sora_ How did you know that? You're a ninja aren't you?
Riku_ I said nothing, now do you want to go to the mall or not?
Sora_ Everyone is there right? Let me get something real quick, I'll meet you there.
–As Riku leaves the apartment, Sora begins looking around for Thalassa Charm he made in return for Kairi. It was pink with yellow threading and lilac on the edges, which was her favorite color ever since. "This is so stupid, she doesn't even wear purple anymore, only her shoes. Probably already hates me, for just being . . . . me." *cell rings with the song Dearly Beloved* "Hello?"
Riku_ Get down here now, and stop talking to yourself. *call ends*
-Sora dashes out the door and walks down to the mall beside the boardwalk-
Riku_ About time, well I'm going shopping meet ya up somewhere I guess.
Sora_ You're not helping me go out with Kairi?
Riku_ I didn't really, do you want me to? My little brother needs help with a girl.
Sora_ Nope, never mind I just wanted to hangout with you, Hehe –Sora blushes-
Riku_ Bye *Riku walks away down to Hot Topic*
Voice_ Heehee You're so cute! –Sora looks over and sees Kairi sitting in the food court with Selphie, a blonde boy, and a red headed young man
Selphie_ Hey Sora, over here! Don't stand there you don't know us.
Sora_ Umm, Hey . . . Roxas? AXEL? What are you doing here, and Axel didn't you?
Lea_ Let's not talk about this in public, you wouldn't want fangirls all over us?
Kairi_ They're visiting from Twilight Town! Isn't that great? Also, they're spending their summer going to their homes they origin from! –Sora begins to think that if Kairi loves traveling so much he should take her on a vacation . . . . just him and Kairi. But we just got here, "anything for you Kairi"
Selphie_ Why did you come here?
Roxas_ Oh, Shion wanted to see this island, she said it was beautiful.
Kairi_ Is she a new friend of yours? She's right it is beautiful here, right Sora?
Sora_ Yeah, Axel, why are you . . . well, here?
Lea_ Didn't Kairi just tell you? Or were you too busy thinking about something else? *Axel grins* Stop calling me Axel
Roxas_ Ok, people like him had too many people who loved him in his life or thanked him than a regular nobody.
Lea_ Sometimes it's the only way out . . . . Everyone loves me
-Selphie and Kairi listen in astonishment- "That's a strong friendship, Sora, Riku and I are the same way! *Kairi smiles shining innocence on everyone*
Selphie_ I love you! *random*
Lea_ Arigato, I'm flattered.
Roxas_ I'm going to go find Shion, no one go anywhere I'll be right back.
Lea_ We wouldn't leave you?
Roxas_ Yeah, right.
*Meanwhile with Riku*
The store is quiet and the music playing is Destination by Janne Da Arc, not as crowded as it usually is though. –Perfect place for a loner like me, wish they had more to choose from this month- Far back in the room where the CD's are, he spots a woman with blue hair beside a brunette and blond man. –No, Is it? Aqua? – But neither of them turn around to him
Girl_ Riku? –Riku turns to see who's calling his name-
Riku_ Excuse me? Do I know you?
Girl_ No . . .never met, I just had a feeling . . . *the girl runs out of the store into the arms a familiar blonde*
Riku_ Roxas? What is he doing here?
Roxas_ Are you okay, Xion?
Shion_ Yes, I'm fine. I bought a Kanon Wakeshima CD, she's so talented.
–Roxas notices Riku and why Shion ran out of the store-
Roxas_ Oh, I guess I owe you an apology, Riku. Nice too see you, again.
-Riku looks down at Shion and back at Roxas confused why he isn't in Sora's body-
Riku_ Is this your girlfriend?
Shion_ *gasps* I hate you already, you really ARE the biggest nobody.
Roxas_ Shion, meet up with me later, I want to find Namine then all of us can be together.
Shion_ Sure *glares at Riku walking away*
-Wow, who does she think she is, Probably mentally disordered since Roxas was talking to her like a child-
"I need your help"
"Why, I have no relationship with you, all I know is you're Sora's nobody."
"You know way more than that, and if you care about your friends as much as I do, you will help me. Namine isn't here because Kairi doesn't feel exactly the same as Sora, that's also why Shion is here. She connects all of us together even Axel, but she needs Namine and so does Sora. If Kairi doesn't love Sora, this breaks everyone's bonds together! You'll be killing Shion, and if you do that you'll pay.
"Ever just meet someone and forced to save their life, because your best friend's crush doesn't have the same feelings for him?"
"Well . . . Sort of?"
"No, so what do you want me to do about it? That's up to them, I want to have a life to not trail behind their nobodies causing problems. You figure it out, since you're so tough."
"Please! Not just me, this depends on the future!"
" . . . . . I'll think about it."
-Roxas can't argue anymore and leaves without hesitation-
Voice- I'm . . . . Sorry
Riku- You again? I . . . I'm sorry too, look I don't know who you are but, please just leave me alone.
Shion- Don't you want to be with everyone else?
Riku- No *Riku begins to walk toward the restrooms where Shion won't follow him, but she's determined to distract him*
Shion- What happened to you'll do anything to protect your friend, when his memories were scattered and you and Namine pieced them together.
Riku_ How do you know . . . ? –Riku grabs her arm and makes direct contact between her empty sapphire eyes- "I don't know what you are, but if you promise to tell me how you know this, I promise I'll help you."
"You don't know me, remember? I just know you, and I wish I could know more. I'm apart of Sora . . . . and befriended with Lea and Roxas. That just leaves you.
"Tell me something about your connection between you and Sora, you're hurting yourself because I know who you are."
"No, you're hurting me! I'm not your friend anymore am I? Just some useless puppet, just how it was then and you said it would change. I should have killed myself instead of the keyblade unlocking my heart! All my inspiration is gone, you'll soon find out how we are connected, once you get Namine back."
-Once again she tries to run away, but Riku didn't let go. Everyone in the mall is staring at them and it gets silent-
"Look, you yelled it out and people are watching so let's just walk away okay? No grudges?"
"Plenty of grudges, I don't like liars either so don't try to save your popularity."
Lea_ Shion!
(everyone is thinking *he's going to cause a scene*)
Lea_ Why are you embarrassing him? You know nobody remembered you at first! You're being a real bitch right now, it may hurt to be rejected by people but don't put it on the people who care for you the most.
Riku_ What, how am I involved in this?
FANGIRLS- It's AkuRokuShi! THE KEYBLADE WIELDERS! GET THEM!
Roxas_ Time to go! Once again, thank you Shion –Looking down in dishonor, Shion sheds a tear- We still love you
*Everyone runs out of the mall to the rented van of Lea, seems Sora is gone, things start to get tense between some people. Sora is spotted walking along the boardwalk with his sea-salt icecream, not informed about physco fangirls behind him as he strolls listening to his Ipod.*
Lea_ Let's leave him
Kairi_ NO! We all know he's slow at sometimes, as in speed! Sora, behind you!
Sora_ Huh? What are you people yelling about now? Are you leaving? Man, I better catch up. –Luckily the absent minded Sora makes it in the van before anyone noticed him, Lea drives to their hotel they checked into last night."
Roxas and Sora_ Sweet Suite! *Sora* I call the first room!
Lea_ I didn't say you were staying here, are you kidding me? Everyone but Sora that is. xD
Selphie_ Today was really crazy, it was a pleasure to meet you all but I must go home now. What time is it?
Riku_ 8:03? Why do you need to go home?
Selphie_ I'm going to Osaka with my family for a week, I promise I'll be back!
Kairi_ Oh Selphie, Don't leave me with a bunch of guys? –Shion stares at Kairi-
With you here Shion it will be fun I guess though! Heehee
Selphie_ I thought that's what you wanted Kairi?
Kairi_ Heh heh, yeah . . . just not so many
Selphie_ You're one lucky girl, and they're all cute
Shion sits on the edge of the bed, thinking about how she attacked Riku when he was vulnerable . . . all because she wanted to be right for once. To be a person and not someone else, but all he did was bring up what she was trying to hide.
Sora_ Shion, It's really awkward to sit here beside you. Hope you like being here so far. This is a beautiful place, my home and your home too if you want.
Shion_ I love it. It would be an amazing experience to accept this as my home.
Kairi_ What's this? –She picks up the CD Shion bought and plays it on the sound system- Wow, these are such . . . emotional songs, my favorite is Ennui Kibbun!
Shion_ Thank You –Roxas takes Shion's hand and starts to dance with her-
"Don't ever feel like you want to die here, I don't want you alive so I can see Namine but so I can have sister to protect too."
"So, you want to be more than friends with everyone, huh?"
"No, but the people in this room . . . family."
Lea_ Anyone up for HD TV? Cause I hate sitting here listening to music, and dancing just isn't my thing.
Sora_ Let's watch SAW!
Kairi_ Goodnight, I'm not having nightmares
Riku_ I'm tired too, I'll be out when everybody is up, I've got errands to run.
Roxas_ Well, seems like a bunch of scary movies are on so what do you people wanna watch?
Shion_ How about Transformers 2? It's my favorite movie! Or Avatar?
Lea_ Avatar is annoying, stupid love story
Sora_ I like love stories
Lea_ They're ok when on a date, but let's just stick with normal tv please?
Roxas_ No blue people Xion, ok? *Shion nods in a happy smile*
-The Trio and Keyblade master stay up watching late night comedies, but it soon turns 1:00 and Shion decides to go to bed. Lea puts everyone to bed since it was early in the next day; tomorrow was going on a tour around the island. Sora and Riku have one bed, the girls have the other, and Roxas has the master bed. Secretly Lea leaves the room and closes the door, Shion is watching him, but doesn't move or question him. She waits until she drifts off into a deep slumber. "Come back safely, I pray you all ways will."
