Don't Close Your Eyes
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is not mine! If you know enough, you know to whom it belongs to… and if you know enough too, you'll know that the song "Whisper" isn't mine too. (KH is Square-Enix's and Disney's; "Whisper" is Evanescence's, just in case you don't know anyway.) Oh, yeah, I remember another fic entitled "Don't Open Your Eyes", it's a KH fic too, but it has nothing to do with this one, promise! Please, I'm just a kid addicted to acoustic sounds and oregano!
Prologue… A Storm
The dark clouds gathering up there, blocking the sapphire sky seemed foreboding. Gradually, yet quickly, the clouds covered up the entire sky, and the beach was shrouded. Slight rumbles can be heard from a distance. The moment the first lightning bolt flashed across the horizon, drops of rain simultaneously fell and wet the ground.
He was watching the whole time as the storm started before his eyes. He was watching the people on the beach leave one by one, yet he didn't feel like budging from his spot. He remained there, leaning against the Paopu Tree, letting himself get wet from the rain.
Whatever. He felt empty right now. And he didn't feel like asking why.
Maybe it was just another one of those moments.
Another 10 minutes standing in the rain, he still didn't move from his spot. The winds were howling. Various coconut leaves that were swept away lashed against him. When it was really getting bothersome, and getting cold, he decided to let himself drown in the rain another time.
He turned to leave, prepared to go in the seaside shack.
He paused. Turned around. He sensed movement from behind him.
Nobody on the islet made the sound. It came from the now-violent sea.
Funny how he sensed that something with life made that sound. He walked a bit forward and shielded his eyes with one gloved hand.
There… almost to the shore. Something was fighting the violent waves, trying not to drown.
No, make that someone. A someone with long hair and—was that a wing?!
Realizing that a person was in danger, he hurriedly jumped off the bridge and ran towards whoever the survivor was. He reached the water and swam towards the person. Grabbing a part of the unknown's shirt, he had managed to drag the person towards the shore.
"Hey… oh, no, are you still breathing?!" he gasped out, staring at the someone he had just saved.
The person's eyes were wide open. But it seemed that—he or she? It was too dark to tell—was unconscious. This someone was too disturbing to look at, and yet—
Then, it dawned upon the rescuer.
"Hey… It's you!"

Author's notes: Nyahahah! Enjoying so far? I can imagine… So far, no traces of the Evanescence song… it would appear at a later chapter, my friend. Still formulating ideas at this point, though… Hmn.
Anyways, have you anything violent to say at this point? You can say 'em all through a review. Okay, ta-ta for now!
