Our Little Secret

Prologue

It was one of those rare showers. The dark clouds had rolled over the islands, casting a dark shadow over the palm trees which were rustling gently in the slight breeze. The waves lapped gently against the shore as usual. It was a gentle rain indeed, caressing the soil with its pearly drops.

Drops that fell from the top of the windowsill and onto Riku's pale hand. He was sitting by the window, hugging his knees and resting his head against the cool surface of the wood. It felt good to be home that was for sure, but his old restlessness had soon after his arrival come to haunt him again. After almost two years away from home, fighting almost every day against something that sometimes seemed never-ending, Destiny Islands seemed too tranquil. Like it waited for something to happen once again.

The change of atmosphere soothed these restless thoughts that no one on the island had been able to do.

Aquamarine eyes suddenly widened at the hard thump his heart gave out in alert. He looked up as he felt this strange presence nearby. Something that did not belong here.

Furrowing his brows into a frown he stood upright on the dark wood of his window, buckling his knees slighly before jumping down onto the damp sand beneath him.

Riku's feet splashed in the water as he walked along the beach, fists clenched. He could feel it, the strong aura greeting him with an emotion that he was not able to read. He sniffed and his expression turned serious. The smell of something of neither darkness nor light only meant one thing.

He approached a cloaked figure standing in the calm waters of Riku's home.

"Leave" Riku's voice was firm "you have no right to be here".

The mysterious figure chuckled, not even bothering to turn around or pull down the black hood shielding him from the heavy drops falling from the dark sky "what a warm welcome"

"It wasn't a welcome" Riku retorted, pulling out his keyblade to express just how serious he was. He would protect what was precious to him. No matter what...

The intruder finally turned around, jumping a bit in surprise at the sight before him "whoa, easy now. No need to get violent" he pulled down the hood, freeing his spiky red strands of hair.

Before Riku could even open his mouth to ask, Axel lifted a finger, placing it upon the teen's pink lips with a wink "I just wanted to check up on Roxas and Naminé" gesturing to something behind him with a nod.

Riku cocked his head to the side, looking past the tall Nobody in front of him "what are you..." Riku's words trailed off as he spotted two figures out in the water.

The rain created rings in the water around the two. His tanned arms were wrapped around her smaller waist and under the water. He did not seem to care if his chestnut brown hair was dripping wet as she wrapped her arms around his neck, returning the happy smile he offered her.

His nose touched hers, his eyes only on her as he held her even tighter, making Riku's heart sting. Still his eyes were fixed on the brunette. His bright blue eyes were sparkling with such a happiness Riku knew he could never give him.

Axel observed them with a grin "and they lived happily ever after, huh" he smiled at the pair, knowing that what Sora and Kairi did at this instant meant that Roxas and Naminé was enjoying each other's presence as well.

Riku rested a hand over his heart, letting his long bangs cover his eyes. He hated himself for not feeling the same as Axel. But he did not want to harm what he treasured the most.

"Won't you join in a happy reunion?" Riku asked, not really looking at him.

Axel shook his head "maybe it's best to let them be" he turned his head to look at Riku with a smirk "at least I got to tell Roxas how I really felt".

Riku snorted, annoyed with the Nobody's attitude "are you implying something?".

Axel shrugged "maybe?" he kept that mischievous smile that ticked Riku off.

"How come you still exist? You disappeared" Riku asked.

"Who knows" Axel scratched the back of his head "I guess as long as my heart is still out there I won't be able to cease for good..." he stretched and ran a hand through his wet hair which surprisingly kept its shape even though it would not be long before the water had soaked in completely.

"That is what I will be searching for"

"Your heart?" Riku raised a brow, then smirked "well as long as you're leaving then be my guest"

His eyes met Axel and the two males stared into each other's gaze declaring a silent but not everlasting truce between two competitive warriors. Riku's aquamarine eyes were almost glowing with hostility.

Axel turned his head away first, losing the little game and pulled out a blue card from his sleeve "take care of them"

"No need for you to tell me" Riku hissed.

Axel lifted the card, flipping it in order to activate a portal and leave this place, much to Riku's content. A strong wind blew around the taller male and it came with such force that it made Riku take a few steps back. The young teen shielded his face from the sandy wind and looked up when it finally ceased to blow, expecting to be left alone.

But the red haired Nobody was standing on the same spot as before looking at least just as surprised as the silver haired male.

Axel brought a hand to his mouth biting down on the black leather to remove the glove. He felt the card with his bare hand.

"... it's too wet".

"you've got to be kidding me!".
