Kingdom Hearts: Kairi's Story.
If you have ever played Kingdom Hearts, you would get this, if not, you're probably screwed.
Day 1
"Ready, set, go!" I screamed as Riku and Sora went racing down the beach. There was a gust of wind… or maybe it was Riku running… I don't know.
"And Riku is way ahead of Sora! Sora walks onto a piece of wood, it breaks! He plunges into the water!" I narrated. I did all I could to stop myself from laughing. "Riku is back, quick as a flash! Oh, and he wins the race!"
Riku and I sat there talking about our old raft and how we had never even given it a name.
"Hey Kairi, do you think we should name the raft Highwind?" Riku asked me expectantly.
"Do be honest, I think that's a horrible name," I told him.
"Oh…" He mumbled sadly. I think I hurt his feelings…
"Sora had this crazy idea that we name the raft S.S. Kairi," Riku said jokingly. I had a strange sense of déjà vu after the recent occurrences, but I ignored it. Finally Sora came running down the beach after us. He threw his arms into the air.
"And here's the winner!" Sora exclaimed.
"Uh.. Sora… Riku won," I told him blankly. Sora's face fell.
"Where is he!?" Sora screamed, his head whipping in all directions.
"Over there," I muttered, pointing toward the paupu tree. Is it true that if you share a paupu with someone, you destinies will become intertwined? If so, Sora will attempt to share on with me… better run.
"EEEE!" I screamed as I ran toward where Sora was, hiding behind a nearby tree. Sure, I should escape, but watching them fight is worth it.
"Riku how dare you win!" Sora screamed.
"I didn't choose to win, you just suck," Riku assured Sora. Sora sulked in a corner, reduced to almost tears. I restrained my laughter.
"Are you going to fight me or not?" Riku asked Sora, cowering above him.
"No no. I'll just leave," Sora gestured to me (so I'm guessing he saw me), "You two enjoy your paupu." He ran off.
I walked out toward Riku.
"What were you two talking about?" I asked Riku, attempting small talk.
"I was just teasing Sora that whoever won the race got to share a paupu with you, it's not like I was actually going to do it," Riku explained.
"Are you saying it'd be a bad thing to share a paupu with me!?" I screamed, grabbing Riku by the ear in my anger.
"No no no! That's not what I- Please stop!" Riku protested. I let him go.
"That better not have been what you meant…" I muttered threateningly. I sat down beside him on the paupu tree.
"Riku…?" I asked sweetly. Riku turned to me, cringing at my sweet voice and thinking I was angry.
"W-what?" He asked, petrified.
"Do you have a paupu?" I asked him.
"I gave the last to Sora, why?" Riku asked.
"Oh… no reason," I murmured under my breath. "Goodnight Riku." I then walked back to my house.
Today, I've come to realize something. I think… I may… maybe just a little… have a crush on Riku
This was the story that got me INTO stories. This was the original (with a few tweaks). I know it sucks, so don't say it, it was one of my first pieces, written three years ago, so don't make fun of me. :P
