Summary: Sora has been left alone for five years after his friends abandoned him. What will happen when they suddenly come back? SoraxRiku
Broken HeartsThe sun blazed down on Sora and Riku as their sword battle raged. Wooden swords met in mid air as Sora blocked a furious attack from Riku. Sora could faintly hear Kairi's cheers from the sidelines. He looked up into the eyes of Riku to see fierce determination and yet the aqua color still held a child-like gleam to it. Distracted by his friend's eyes Sora didn't see Riku's sword come at him from the left. Grunting in pain as the sword connected with his side he stumbled slightly. That was just enough for Riku to get his wooden sword out of his grip and win.
" To bad Sora." Riku said placing the sword behind his neck. " Better luck next time." Sora gave his best attempt at a glare but failed miserably. Riku laughed at this causing a smile to spread across Sora's face. How he loved that laugh. In fact he loved everything about Riku. The way he talked, fought and played around with Sora. He had realized long ago and accepted the fact that he loved Riku.
"Next time I will get you!" Sora shouted. Riku laughed again walking over towards Kairi.
" You always say that and it never happens." Riku said sticking his sword into the sand. Sora ignored him and walked over towards his friends and flomped (It's a word if I say so.) onto the sand. Looking out over the water Sora felt at peace. The water rolled lazily against the shore. The sunlight gave everything a happy glow that made everything look alive. Sighing in content Sora looked over at Riku. The sun made his hair glow even whiter and his eyes matched the sea perfectly as if his eyes were taken right from the water.
" Sora what are you looking at?" Riku asked looking at Sora. Sora quickly looked away a light blush gracing his cheeks realizing he had been staring.
" Nothing." He mumbled. Riku nodded and looked back out at the sea, but Kairi continued to stare at Sora a slight glare on her face.
" See you tomorrow Riku!" Sora called out cheerfully waving energetically at his friend. Riku waved at him before heading home. Sora was just about to leave but Kairi grabbed his wrist.
" What do you want Kairi?" Sora asked smiling at his friend. His smile faltered when she didn't return that smile.
" I know you like Riku, Sora." She said her voice cold and indifferent. Sora paled. How did she find out? Was I that obvious? He was brought out of his train of thoughts when Kairi started talking again." Just let it go now. Save yourself the pain of rejection. You're too weak. You'll just bring him down, Sora. He'll never be happy with you. Besides why would he love you when he could have me?"
Sora took a step back at Kairi's words as if he had been slapped. No she couldn't be telling the truth! He wasn't weak! But the more Sora fought with himself the more he realized she was right. I am weak. I can never stand up for myself. I always cower behind others. Sora turned and ran. Ran as fast as he possibly could. Tears pounding down his face as fast as his feat hit the ground. All the while Kairi's words rang through out his head.
Shutting the door quietly Sora walked slowly p the stairs to his room. Lying down on his bed not even bothering with getting undressed. Grabbing a pillow he curled up into a tight ball falling into an uneasy sleep.
Dream Sequence
" Riku! Wait up!" Sora shouted reaching out for his silver-haired friend only to have him ignore him and keep running. Shadows began pressing in on Sora blocking his view of Riku. " Riku!" His voice echoed off the shadows slowly consuming him. " Please wait." He fell to his knees his body raking with sobs.
They've left you Sora.
" W-Who's there?" Sora called out his voice shock slightly out of fear and his tears.
They don't care for you.
"Answer me!" Sora shouted
You're too weak. You'll just bring him down, Sora. He recognized that voice! Kairi had told him that earlier when they had been on the island! Where was it coming from?
Why would he love you when he could have me?
"No! Get out of my head!" Sora shouted hands grabbing his head trying to block out the voices.
Leave Sora.
You're too weak.
Stop dragging us down, Sora!
Flashes of his friends passed as each new voice entered his mind Selphie, Tidus, Wakka and Kairi. Just when he thought he could take no more Riku appeared in front of him.
" Why would I ever love a thing like you?" Sora's world shattered at Riku's words. The pictures of his friends dropped down into the darkness below. Their pictures shattered like glass when they hit the bottom. Riku slowly began to blow away as if he was made out of sand. The floor gave out beneath Sora and he fell. The wind whistled past his ears defining him slightly. He closed his eyes and waited for him to hit bottom.
BOOMA loud clap of thunder jerked Sora put of his nightmare. Pulling his knees up to his chest he wrapped his arms around them. His body shock as bits of the dream came back to him. Resting his head on his arms he looked out the window towards Destiny Island. Large storm clouds brewed over the land and sea. Lightning illuminated the sky while thunder roared almost as loud as the sea. Rain fell endlessly from the sky drowning the chain of islands. Suddenly a thought occurred to him.
" The raft!" Jumping out of his bed he grabbed a jacket before hurling himself out the window into the poring rain. Running towards the dock he jumped into his small boat and started rowing. Waves crashed into the boat knocking him off course. Struggling to keep the boat steady Sora made it to Destiny Island. Falling face first into the sand in his haste to get out of the boat. Pulling himself up he took off towards the raft. Passing Pao Pau Island Sora noticed a large swirling black hole next to the bent over Pao Pau tree. Scrambling up onto the island, Sora saw Riku and Kairi walking towards the black hole.
" Riku! Kairi!" He shouted running over to his friends. Kairi ignored him and walked strait into the hole the shadows consuming her. Riku turned towards him. His face was darkened by the dark light emitting from the hole casting shadows all over his face.
" Go home Sora." With that he turned his back to Sora and walked through the portal after Kairi. Rushing forward Sora tried to reach the portal to go with his friends. As soon as he got close to the hole, black vine like shadows whipped out like tentacles. One collided with Sora knocking him off his feet and into a near-by tree. His breath rushed out of him as his back collided with the trunk. He helplessly watched the portal slowly disappear into nothingness. The last thing he saw before blacking out was the portal totally disappearing and Riku and Kairi with it.
Five years later a 19-year-old Sora Walked down the street. People stopped and starred as he passed, and for a good reason. Unlike most people who wear pants and a shirt Sora was wearing a long black cape. It swirled around his feet as he walked. The hood was pulled up covering most of his cinnamon colored hair. His eyes were downcast staring at his feet. People whispered about what happened to the " sweet little boy" that always walked around with a smile on his face and would always laugh. It had been years since he had cracked a smile let alone laugh. Why? It was all because of Riku and Kairi. His two best friends in the entire world had left him all alone for the past five years. Misery and hatred soon took over what had been left of him after they left.
' Why'd they leave me behind? Why wouldn't they take me with them? No don't think about that. They made a mistake when they left.' He told himself sternly. It would do him no good to think of back when they had left or the timed when they had been friends.
He was brought out of his thoughts when he collided with something hard. Ready to kill who ever dared bump into him Sora raised his head and impossibly blue eyes met aqua ones.
How was that? Good? Bad? Please R&R!
