Another road to walk
I don't own kingdom hearts or any characters it's story involves...
Chapter one…
"Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end,
and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows:
Starting a new journey may not be so hard
or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds
but they share the same sky—
one sky,
one destiny."
Kairi
He read that letter over and over, that same letter. The one he got so long ago.
'Has it really been 4 years?' The gravity defying brunette thought to himself. He shook his head in frustration, his unruly spikes swinging randomly, no matter how many times he read the letter it always got under his skin.
"Reading that again, are ya?"
"Gah! N-no, reading what?!" Sora replied quickly stuffing the old paper in his pocket.
"Really?" A silver haired young man said hopping over the bent tree Sora had been leaning against. An eyebrow raised he sat on the tree, crossing his arms.
"Yeah I have no idea what you're talking about," he said back looking away.
Riku chuckled, "you really need to find a better hobby every weekend then to come out here, sit by this tree, and reread that letter for 6 hours straight."
Sora stared down at the water, glowing in the setting sun. The shades of red and pink reminding him of her hair. He sighed, "I know, I know."
"So when are you going to tell her?" Riku said his usual 'I'm so cool and mysterious' mask covering his face as he looked into the sun set as well.
Sora couldn't help it, he felt heat rise to his face as he thought about her again, "t-tell her what?" he innocently replied.
"You know exactly what I mean, Sora." Riku said, shifting his gaze to him.
He sighed again, "I just… I don't know how I can s-"
"Sora! Riku!" An afar voice called.
Sora's head spun around faster than anything Riku had ever seen. He just laughed at his best friend as Sora started waving like an idiot.
"Guys! Look!" They saw her hold up a bottle as she ran across the bridge towards them both.
"A letter?" Sora asked standing and running over to meet her. Riku slid off the tree and walked toward them. Kairi, being her clumsy self, didn't expect Sora to run at her, thus, they ran right into each other. Falling into a confused pile of limbs they both screamed. Riku, holding his sides of course, fell to the ground in laughter.
"Oops, sorry Sora," Kairi giggled.
"No it's ok I was running to fast," he chuckled, looking down into her eyes. He trailed off, realizing their position, "Uh…"
"Wha?" Then a blush rose into her cheeks, giving them a pinkish tone. She was on her back, hair all frayed out around her head, he was practically laying on top of her, his legs straddling hers, and his hands were on either side of her shoulders.
"Whoa you two, you want to save that for a more private place?" Riku said teasing the two embarrassed teens.
Sora jumped up quickly, his face practically crimson. "Sorry Kai." He offered his hand to her. She took his hand and allowed him to pull her to her feet.
"Thanks Sora," she replied her cheeks matching her hair.
"So," Riku interrupted, "what was all the running about Kairi?"
"Oh!" She looked around realizing she had dropped the bottle, "Look! It's a letter from the King!"
