Summary:
They were prepared to live their lives like normal teenagers but that soon fell apart because of their past, their heroic pasts. When they received that letter from King Mickey, they knew all the fun times they wanted were cut short but what they didn't know is that this might be the most hardest road ever.
Remember what I state below:
Italics and ' ' Means thinking! The person is talking to themselves, sounds a bit weird, neh? Example: 'Oh brother.' Riku thought.

The Story Was Never Over!

Sora looked at the letter he received from King Mickey in his hand. 'This will never end, but at least Riku and Kairi will be beside me to help me.' Sora thought as he looked up at the blue skies as cotton candy clouds rolled on. He often thought about how Riku and Sora finally revealed their true feelings, how they wanted to be like each other. Kairi saw Sora on the little island from the beach, she noticed he would sometimes be lost in his thoughts and look at the sky, its pretty ironic how is name means sky and it seems that he was always lost into it.
"Sora. . ." Kairi whispered, she was a bit concerned for the fifteen year old. A sixteen year old silver haired boy came walking up to her, he definitely taller then the fifteen year old girl, who had been his friend during childhood.
Riku placed a hand on Kairi which caused her to turn around to see his smile and slight nod, "He'll be fine." Riku assured her as she smiled and nodded her head as well. They have been on the island for two months now, but their minds never forgotten their journeys.
:-:o:-: At Night :-:o:-:
Riku laid in his room, into a deep slumber. He would constantly dream of the darkness that had consumed him those months ago. In this dream, Riku was floating in darkness, he could still hear those words Zexion tormented him with:
"You hated being an islander, cut off from other worlds. So you opened the door to darkness and destroyed the islands. YOU did that! And now you belong to the darkness. Look at what you are!"
Riku winced as his body was still, he could barely move its as if the darkness had him tangled in a spider web. He cried in pain only to hear Zexion's voice echo loudly until he saw a bright light and an image of Mickey appeared as the King spoke to him:
"Your darkness belongs to you. Just like your light. Until now, I thought darkness was nothing but bad. But my time with you made me change my mind. You've chosen a road I never thought of. Light and Dark, back to back. With you, they mingle in a way no one's ever seen before. I want to see where that road leads. And if it's okay, I want to walk the road with you."
Everything seem to brightened and Riku was able to escape his nightmare. Riku sat up panting heavily as sweat beads rolled down his head. He looked around in his dark room as the Moonlight shined through the window. Riku was lost in darkness and light, he hated that he was confused but Mickey had made it seem like it wa a good thing, and he had someone who could understand him. Riku sighed.
:-:o:-: With Sora :-:o:-:
Sora couldn't sleep, he knew in a number of days when his dreams of being a regular teenage boy would end live shortly. He constantly thought about Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, also all his other friends in Radiant Garden and in other worlds. At time he would often dream about Axel, he wondered if he felt a familiarization with Axel because of Roxas, and he sometimes often wished if he could free Roxas and Namine.
"I'm not tired, I'm so bored. What can I do at a time like this?" Sora groaned as he scratched the back of his head, he hated when he couldn't sleep because boredom filled the dark room, "I wonder if Kairi and Riku often can't sleep at all like me. Riku can overcome anything so I doubt he's rolling around and having a hard time." He looked out the window, he could still remember when he saw Kairi during the meteor shower when they were younger. He smiled at the memory. Then all of sudden he decided to read the letter again, he jumped out of his bed and to his dresser and picked up the rolled paper, he unrolled it and read the King's words once more:
Dear Sora, Riku, Kairi,
I'm sorry to tell you this paradise won't last much longer, I'm going to need your help again. This is a very serious problem. I hope you guys will pull through to me for a third time.
Thanks ya'll,
Mickey
P.S. Guys, be careful.
Sora wondered what would arise from the darkness this time, another organization, another Xehanort heartless or nobody, or even worse then that. The very thought made him angry and confused. He placed the letter down and looked at his reflection, he noticed how much he aged after all this time. Placing his hand over his face, he sighed as he thought about what he should do and what the future had before him. Even though another adventure sounded great but he wanted a vacation first.
- - - -
Riku was up and at it that very morning, he would hang out at the island to actually try and not think about how he lost himself but he tried to think about how much he had changed and how much he finally had that closure with Sora. He wasn't jealous anymore. Ever since they were younger it was so easy for Sora to be pleased and everyone just loved him, instantly but it took Riku such a long time to adjust to people and he was always alone and the memory of first meeting Sora was so fresh in his mind.
-Flashback-
A young boy, possibly around the age of seven was standing at the shoreline, today was the day his father had passed. His aqua colored eyes were filled with sadness but yet no tears had fallen. He was angry but more importantly he felt like he could never be like the rest of their children. Why wasn't his life fair? Why did everything have to be taken away from him? But it wasn't like he was always alone since he did have his little sister and mother left but his father was the one he looked up to and he was so strong but he wasn't strong enough to survive a sickness. Why did something so weak kill such a powerful man? Riku never understood it, he was too young to fully understand and want to understand at that point. Footsteps came forth and he could hear the breaking of the sand which made the silver haired boy turn his head, he saw a spiky haired young boy, his bright blue eyes radiated with a sort of happiness.
"Cool! I can't believe I'm, I'm with the cool kid Riku!" Sora said almost embarassed, his cheeks tinted with pink while Riku looked at him with a rather annoyed expression. Sora didn't pay it no mind and kept rambling on, "Whatcha doin' here?"
"Cooling off." Riku nonchalantly said while Sora grinned, goofily.
"Can I cool off with you? Everyone won't believe when I said I hanged with you!" He exclaimed excitedly as he didn't seem to get it that Riku did and was or ever be interested in how Sora felt, at least that's how he felt about the situation now.
Riku was finally fed up. "Would you just back off already, kid!" Riku shouted which made the spiky brown haired boy gasp and his feelings were hurt, allot.
"I-I didn't know I was annoying you." The six-year-old look down, his blue eyes looking glass as unshed tears were forming. Riku looked at him and felt a bit guilty but he didn't want to be bothered.
"Just leave."
"No." Sora mumbled but it was loud enough for Riku to hear, "Your not happy about something and so, I-I just want to help and it was stupid of me for not realizing it sooner." His voice reeked with passion and determination which ultimately surprised Riku because usually when he told someone to back off they did it but this kid, this kid wasn't taking no for an answer it made Riku somewhat smile.
"My father died today." Riku said fluently and slowly, the pain was still there in his heart but not as strongly as it was earlier. Sora frowned, he felt sad for the popular boy but he wasn't going to be over-dramatically sympathetic.
"Get over it." The aqua eyed boy spun around, shocked that the younger boy would say such a thing. "I'm sure your father didn't want you or any of your family to be upset anymore. That's what my mom told me when my dad died but he died before I could even know him. So, I say your lucky for spending somewhat time with him unlike other people." Sora smiled while Riku finally became grateful of the time he actually did have with his father. How could he be so ignorant before?
-End Flashback-
The sixteen year old merely chuckled over the memory as he sat on a Papou fruit tree. "School's tomorrow." He said with a lack of enthusiasm. Kairi just had to dragged them back to school, it was something he and Sora both hated.
Nice Chapter huh? Please stay tuned!
