Destiny Islands.
Okay first of all I don't own the cast of Kingdom Hearts, if I did Sora would be MINE! MWAHAHA
"Ahem," Kairi, Disney and Square-Enix all glare evily waving keyblades through the air in front of author.
Okay okay, jeesh can't a girl joke anymore?
Anyway I do own the story plot and Ayria, (ownership of all things Kingdom Hearts is still being worked on). Without further interruption enjoy the story. D
(3rd person POV)
It was a beautiful day as always on Destiny Islands. Brilliant warm sun, clear blue sky and crystal water surrounding the islands. It started off like any normal day with Sora going over to meet his friends over on the smaller island which was their usual hang out place.
"Hey Kairi, hey Riku," choked Sora, looking at his friends who were sitting as usual on the papou tree, trying to catch his breathe from running over from his boat.
"Geesh Sora, it's only been like two months since we got home from visiting all the different worlds and you're out of breathe from a short run?" questioned Riku with a raised eyebrow.
"How in the world did you become the keyblade master?" asked the silver haired teen with a smirk playing about his face.
"Ha ha very funny Riku."
"So guys, what do you want to do today," asked Kairi looking at the two of them. "We could go fishing or swimming, we could go hang out with Selphie, Tidus and Wakka, or we could go shopping?"
"Kairi what makes you think we'd want to go shopping?" asked Sora who by now was sitting on the papou tree next to his two best friends.
"Hmm... shopping for birthday presents maybe?" Said Kairi with a mischievous glint in her eyes, winking behind Sora's back at Riku.
"W...whose birthday is it?" stuttered Sora, desperately hoping it wasn't one of them and he had forgotten.
"Sora how could you?" asked Riku, his face covered by his hair as he looked at the sand so Sora wouldn't see the grin spread across his face. "You forgot my birthday," and I thought you were my friend."
Sora froze, thinking as fast as he could to come with an excuse. "I..i d..didn't forget, it's just that I was joking around, to see if you remembered." Stuttered Sora making a note to sprint to the shop and buy something as soon as he could.
This was too much for both Kairi and Riku. They both burst out laughing falling of the tree and landing in the sand still laughing their heads off.
"What's so funny?" asked an extremely confused Sora.
"Sora you idiot, what's the date today?" asked a teary eyed Kairi.
"Um... 30th of March?"
"It's the 1st of April, April fools day you idiot!" shouted Riku, who was trying to stop himself from laughing at the expression on Sora's face.
"That was so funny!" exclaimed Kairi, "Sora consider this payback for last year, when you chucked seagull droppings on our heads as an April fools day joke."
"That was not funny you two," said Sora his fists clenched by his sides, his face downcast so his hair covered his face hiding his expression. "You know how bad my memory is since Naminé messed around with it."
"Dude come on it was just an April fools day joke," Riku explained concern showing in his teal coloured eyes.
"Sora it was just a joke," Kairi almost sobbed.
"Come on Sora I know you're can't wait to plot your revenge..." Riku trailed off watching Sora's retreating back.
"You don't think he took that seriously do you?" asked an anxious Kairi.
"I hope not," answered an equally concerned Riku. "I had no idea he would take the joke that hard."
"Maybe we should follow him in case he does something stupid."
"Yeah, come on hurry up or we'll lose sight of him."
(Sora's thoughts)
Ha I can't believe how easy it is to fool those two. Hmm that should give me enough time to figure a revenge plan for those two. Although I must admit this is the first time that they've ever worked together to play a prank on me. Maybe I was a bit harsh on them. Man now I feel really guilty oh well I'll just have to make up for it tomorrow but first how can I get back at those two?
Perfect I know how to get back at those two.
"Dam it where is he?" cried a tearful Kairi.
"Don't worry Kairi I'm sure he'll be fine," replied Riku, although his reply sounded rather forced.
"We have to find him soon, you know how reckless he gets when he's angry."
"We're probably overreacting, he's probably at home now sitting in his room thinking of a way to get back at us."
"I hope so."
(Sora's POV)
"Okay finished, Kairi, Riku, prepare for the biggest April Fools Day joke of all time!" I laughed out loud as I thought about the expressions on my friends faces when they walked into my house to have a bucket of water dropped on their heads an then to be covered by honey and feathers. With me waiting with a camera.
I know it's one of the oldest tricks in the book but that didn't stop it from being a good one. Now all I need is a camera to capture the evidence of the evident and I was good to go.
"Big brother what are you doing?" asked my little sister, who was staring up at me with curiosity. She looks almost identical to me minus the fact that her hair is blonde and a lot less spiky then mine, making her look a bit more like Roxas.
"Oh it's just a little April fools day prank I've set up for Kairi and Riku."
"Can I help in any way Sora?" she asked staring up at me with those big blue innocent eyes of hers.
"Nah I'm almost finished I've just to go to the store to buy a camera. Hey want to come with me and get ice-cream?"
"You promise we can get ice-cream."
"Yup"
"Woohoo ice-cream!" she shouted running to get her sandals. It always made me smile to see my little sister so happy, especially since thanks to the freakin' heartless I haven't seen her for about two freakin' years.
"Okay can we go now?" big pleading eyes stared up at me.
"Hold on... yup I've got my wallet lets go."
We had just arrived at the main road.
"Now hold onto my hand Ayria, I don't want you to get hit by a car."
"Okay big brother."
I looked up and down the road checking that it was clear before we crossed.
"Okay let's go," I said as I walked across the road with my sister skipping along beside me.
"Yey ice-cream ice-cream ice-cream," shouted little Ayria joyfully.
Neither of us was prepared for what was about to happen.
As soon as we reached the pavement I could hear a roaring sound coming straight towards us. I turned to see a car heading directly at us. Without thinking I pushed my sister as far away to safety as I could, but I didn't have enough time to get out of the way myself.
The next thing I felt was considerable pain throughout my entire body, and then I blacked out.
(Ayria's POV)
"BIG BROTHER!!" I yelled running over to where his body had fallen. I started to shake his still form.
"SORA! Big brother, come on wake up! You said we were gonna get ice-cream, WAKE UP SORA!" I screamed with tears running down my face. Why wasn't my brother moving? Where was he just lying there so still? And where was all this blood coming from?
Suddenly I saw someone pull out their phone and start taking to someone.
"Hello there has been an accident on Main Street, we need an ambulance now. Casualty looks to be about 16 years old, but I don't know how much damage has been done."
What was happening? I just wanted my brother to wake up and tell me everything was okay. Then we could go and get ice-cream like he promised.
(3rd person POV)
"Right, we've checked all of his usual hang out places, so that leaves only one place. His house."
"You know I bet that he'll have set it up so that he pranks us as soon as we get inside the front door," Riku said with a laugh although he didn't sound too sure.
"We probably did go a bit over the top with that one, so I guess we deserve a little payback, I just hope he's alright," commented a teary eyed Kairi.
"Aw come on Kairi lighten up, he'll get his payback and then we can all go swimming and life will be back to nor-
"SORA!!"
"That was Ayria's voice…" Hearts pumping painfully fast they sprinted towards the distressed shout.
They came to the main street and could get no further as the road and pavement were blocked by the enormous crowd of onlookers that had gathered round since the accident.
"What's going on?" RIku asked the closet person next to him.
"There's been an accident, some idiot drunk was driving on the pavement and ran straight into two young kids, but it seems that one of them managed to push the other one out of the way just in time. Unfortunately he wasn't as lucky."
"What did this kid look like?" asked Riku dreading the answer.
"Spiky brown hair and kinda skinny, but apart from that I don't know anything else about him."
"Oh my God oh my God oh my God! Riku we've gotta get through here."
"Right," said Riku starting to push through the crowd, Kairi following close behind him.
"Hey watch it!"
"Sorry, excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me." As they got closer they could here sounds of someone sobbing.
"That sounds like Ayria… Oh no." Whispered Riku as he shoved his way through the crowd with renewed concern. As they reached the edge of the crowd the sight they saw made Kairi's heart break and Riku felt as if he'd just been punched in the stomach.
The sight that met there faces was a smouldering car crashed into a building, the driver sitting a bit away from it rambling, he was obviously drunk. But the most horrifying part was a young girl sat on the pavement shaking a teen aged boy's shoulders.
The boy's body was covered in blood which was dripping from a huge gash on his forehead and from one on his abdomen and other numerous cuts. His arms and legs stuck out at odd angles and on the rest of his body massive bruises were forming.
"No…Sora…"Kairi whispered as she recognised the boy lying in his sister's arms.
"Dam it…"said Riku softly as he ran over to where the young girl was crying.
(Ayria's POV)
I heard footsteps hurriedly coming towards me. As I looked up I saw my brother's friends Kairi and Riku running towards me.
"K..Kairi, R..Riku," I sobbed, "wh..why isn't my b..brother moving?" I asked looking up at them hoping they knew the answer.
(Kairi's POV)
I looked down at Ayria's tearful face and knew mine was exactly the same. I didn't answer I just put my head on Sora's chest. I let out a sigh of relief as I heard a faint but steady heartbeat.
"Kairi is he..?" I felt a tentative hand on my shoulder. I looked up at Riku's horrified face.
"He's breathing at the moment, but he needs medical attention now." I said this as calmly as I could resisting the urge to shake Sora awake. How could this be happening? Sora, the keyblade master, the boy who defeated the heartless. He wasn't meant to die because of some stupid drunk driver.
(Riku's POV)
I looked down at Sora's blood covered face, this couldn't be happening. I felt my head turn around looking at all the crowd that had gathered all of them just standing there, doing nothing at all to help. I suddenly felt a deep rage boil up inside me.
"What the hell are you just standing there help him or at least call an ambulance!" I yelled at the unsuspecting crowd surprising myself at the volume of my voice.
"I called for an ambulance ten minutes ago it should be here any minute now," some random person replied.
Suddenly I heard the screeching noise of the ambulance's siren rushing towards us. I looked next to me to see Kairi with tears streaming down her face.
"Don't worry Kairi, this is Sora we're talking about he'll recover and everything will go back to how it usually is." Even to myself my voice sounded shaky and uncertain. It didn't even sound like my voice. Kairi just nodded.
The paramedics by this time were putting Sora onto a stretcher.
"C..c..can we come w..with him?" I heard Kairi ask one of the paramedics in between hiccups.
"Are you family?"
"No we're his friends, but Ayria is his sister."
"Okay come on and hurry up we need to get this boy to the hospital and now."
With that said Kairi jumped into the ambulance and I went in carrying little Ayria who was trembling with tears running down her face.
"It's okay Ayria, he'll be okay," still in that voice that sounded so unlike my own. I just kept repeating this phrase over and over until we go to the hospital.
