Even when it's pouring out and the sky is black with clouds and he wishes to be alone, times when he feels the weight of all he has done; she will follow him.

It's too far to go to the play island, so he would stand in his backyard, the feeling of the rain on his skin. Made him believe false truths again for just a little while, that he had not done any of those things and that he was just a normal teenager. No chance of Ansem still being inside his heart, no darkness to fight with day in and out. Just a normal teen trying to finish high school, worrying about friends and family, finding a girlfriend; lies, but they were alright lies. Lies that could not harm anyone because they stayed inside.

While Kairi slept at night Namine had a life now, drawing or exploring, connected to the heart that made her whole. The girls much like Sora and Roxas had made a deal, they had felt the weight in their heart of another person who wished to live and experience. Namine had only known manipulation for so long, and wishes that she could have had the life Kairi had.

Riku stiffened as he heard soft footsteps behind him, his eyes were closed savouring the rain that fell down, drenching him, cleaning him.

The fingertips brushed his forearm and he forced his eyes to open to look back, she stood their behind and to the left of him. A soft smile, her own blonde hair stuck against her cheeks, and he forced his eyes to stay on hers. The rest of her would be soaked as well, that tiny white dress she always wore, and it was hard, terribly hard to keep his eyes on her face. He was only a young man after all.

That soft smile grew as she seemed to realise why he was so intently looking at her face and she lightly laughed her hand clasping his arm gently. He trusted her as much as he did Kairi, after everything they had all been through connections formed and the heart knew.

The Organization had made her believe things, used her but she had fought back. A strong young woman who had only wanted to feel, to know and to see, what was it like to have love and companionship? The fact alone that she was Kairi's nobody put her in a special place in his heart, for Kairi and Sora meant so very much to him.

The smile was everything he focused on, and he did not feel so alone. He may have loved the rain but he had lived on an island his whole life, he was a child of the sun.

And Namine was his sunshine.
