KH fanfict Ch1:Bright Start~
Blinding, pure white, casting it's light outward into the endless sky, painting it's colors for the world to see it's brilliance. The morning's light rising and setting the world into an awkward arouse. Inhailing the scents of fresh morning dew and new sunlight, I knew today would be the final day, my last questions would hopefully be answered.
Feeling confident, I made my way to school. The many circling conversations hushed themselves in the soft morning whispers, before the boring school hours that so many had before hated would finally start. My classmates continued their hushed murmurs as I skimmed them for that one certain person. Finally I'd found him. I ran since my time was limited in the short burst before the school bell would ring.
His pure white hair had flown gracefully around in the morning wind as it beautifully framed his god-like face.
"Riku?" He looked over my way with his tinted emerald eyes.
"Hmmm?" he chimed.
"R-riku, um, I've wanted to ask you something for quite some time…." Something flickered across his face that I couldn't quite recognize.
"Whatever, Shoot…." he said ever so calmly as he fixed his school bag around his shoulder.
"Um, d- do you…..Do you know, like me?" I asked, blushing up a storm. A frown flickered across his face then it returned to his regular calm, cool, defense.
"actually, matter of fact, no, I don't."
…It was a painful silence…
For a moment I processed what had just been said to me. Then, I felt tears well up in my eyes. I tried not to let them show in my voice.
"Oh, well, thank you for letting me know how you feel." Slowly I turned around and walked in the opposite direction; And somehow, I think I herd him mumble to himself,
"Good Going Riku, make yet ANOTHER girl cry for you. And after all she went through. Way-to-go-Dumb-ass…"
By now, I literally ran through the school yard. Suddenly I felt someone grab my arm. I turned.
"Jynx, what's wrong?" Just his voice sent the emotions I'd already had into a painful full power.
"Sora, it's nothing….." I whimpered with tears in my eyes.
"If you're crying then it's not ok." he countered. "Wait….Is it Riku? You told him?" he'd figured out the whole problem in no time flat.
"Sora," I started." I-I just- leave me alone! I don't know anymore!" Then I ran farther. With my heart and head pounding at the same annoying wavelength I plowed through the street. So many painfully stared in my direction. Only a few had gotten out of my way before I'd run them over.
I made it to a small cliff that hung itself just above the ocean. The scents of pure fresh sea-salt filled my senses as I breathed deeply. The two emotions circled the air around me anger, and sadness. They mercilessly ate at each other, one after the other.
Had I ever been so wrong….What was it that people hated about me so much? Because I'm myself? I don't know what the problem with that is.
I pulled a star-shaped fruit from my bag.
"To HELL with this!" With all my might I threw it into the killer ocean. Violently it lurched forward, destroying the delicate fruit. I'd had enough…..
The wind that shot itself from the over powering waves blew my thick midnight hair all around me as I stared over the dusty horizon. Rocking slowly on my heels, back forth, back forth, then I let my feet stray from the ground. I felt the wind whisk around me even faster. Then it stopped.
Did I die that quickly? Was that even possible? I wasn't dead, and I hadn't completely fallen. Someone had caught me before I met my end. Who ever it was lifted me from the hanging ledge. Riku's eyes met mine. Why in all hell did he save me? He had said it himself, he didn't like me that way.
"What were you thinking! Throwing yourself off a ledge like that! I almost didn't make it in time! You would have died!" Tears still streaked my face.
"You said it yourself, you don't like me the way I like you. So why not?" I stared him straight in the eye. Riku pulled me onto a rock. He sighed quickly. But I'd cut him off. "You should've dropped me."
"No I shouldn't drop you off a cliff." He spoke as if I was a child and he had to teach my that was a 'no-no'. "Listen, I REALLY do like you." That started my stuttering like an idiot.
"Y-you D-d-do?"
"Yes, I do."
"But I-I-I "
"Honestly, do I have to prove it to you?"
"No, but-" Riku stopped my idiotic babbling by kissing me ever so softly. He pulled back.
"There, believable enough for you?" He smiled gently.
Unable to speak, I just nodded. Tears spilled over my cheeks again. Then, I woke up.
