Sky: Hi, I've been meaning to do this for a while. Ever since I re read Sky has a meaning and saw It was made up of speech without any describing of the situation.
Sora: I tried to tell you
Sky: Go back to Riku! Anyway I own nothing and I hope this is much better. Please Review!
A truth behind a fairy tale
A few years had passed since the time of war between the light and the darkness, many soldiers were lost but they didn't die in vain as the light managed to gain the advantage and win. Riku personally killed Maleficent and made sure she stayed dead. Everyone was happy except life was different and strange because there was something missing, something that no one could ever bring back.
Riku was sitting in his and Kairi's living room looking past the glass of the window towards to sunset, light fading to darkness, just like he had done. Just like his best friend had done….but in a different way. It was a clear evening not a single cloud floating in the deep blue sky that was now filled with yellows and oranges. The silver haired man smiled to himself slightly enjoying the beautiful colours and memories flowing through and around him. Everything was peaceful.
"Daddy, why did you and mummy call me Sky?" asked a small 5 year old boy with purely blue eyes and shoulder length brown-y red hair as he ran down the stairs with loud thumps shattering the once peaceful atmosphere.
Sky wasn't like normal children. He was made from Kairi's light and Riku's darkness as a reminder of a special blue eyed teen. It was an accident combining both types of magic but Kairi insisted that they had to take Sky in, Riku agreed and they became a mini Mix N Match family. They were a strange family as Riku and Kairi never got married and Sky was made from magic but they were happy.
Riku opened one closed eye to look at the small boy "Err I think you should ask your mum that question Sky." Riku sighed he had promised himself that what happened that night would never leave his lips that he wouldn't say his name, he couldn't, it was partly his fault about what happened to him.
The small boy shook his head "I did but she told me that only you know the full story."
'Damn you Kairi' Riku smiled on the outside while he was calling Kairi all the names under the sun inside "Ok I'll tell you and I might as well tell your mum as well while I'm at it, wait here and I'll go get her."
Riku stood up and ran into the kitchen where Kairi was baking "KAIRI!" he shouted angrily.
Once she could see him Kairi only smiled a knowing smile "Yes?" she asked sweetly.
"Why did you tell that monkey I was the only one who could tell him why he's called Sky?" The silver haired man asked while leaning against the door frame.
Kairi picked up her mixing bowl and started to whisk the ingredients together "Because, Riku, you are. I know the reason why I just don't know what brought on the reason."
Riku looked at the floor in deep thought "Fine it was…it was a while ago now I should probably tell you and him what happened."
The red head in the room smiled again placing the cake mixture in cupcake casings she casually replied "Great I've been waiting years for this. Also invited Wakka, Tidus and Selphie round"
Startled Riku jumped away from the door frame "What? Why?"
"Because I knew you'd give in and they want to know what happened" Kairi's voice softened slightly "He…he was their friend too."
Riku paused with an expression of internal struggle across his face "Fine but I'm doing this for Sky."
Kairi smirked at her victory "I wouldn't have it any other way." She laughed as she followed Riku in to the living room to see Sky standing in the same place he had been when he was questioning Riku.
Sky perked up when he saw the two adults enter the room. He saw it as a chance to end the impending boredom "Oooooh are you going to tell me now?" asked the 5 year old excitedly.
The red headed woman picked up the small boy to twirl him around "Yes and no sweetie, we're just waiting for some people to get here." she explained.
When the doorbell went off half an hour later Sky ran off to get it, he couldn't wait any longer he had to find out why he was called Sky but he didn't even know why it was so important to him.
"HEY, LITTLE DUDE." Selphie shouted pulling Sky into a bear hug.
"Hey Selph how's it going?" said Riku when he reached the door panting after running after Sky.
"I'm great thanks now let's get this show on the road." Selphie sang pumping a fist in the air while jumping.
"Riku you finally gonna tell us what happened, ya?" Wakka asked as they went into Riku and kairi's living room to sit down, be it on the floor or on the sofa.
Once she had sat herself cross-legged on the floor Selphie looked at Riku with expectant eyes.
"Ok this is for Sky so it'll be in a form easy for him to understand." the silverette explained
"Ok, ok just I wanna know what happened to him." Tidus wined from his place next to Selphie.
Riku took a deep breath no one had said his name for years he touched a lot of people's hearts, you could speak his name without someone bursting into tears and Riku was about to use his name…more than once.
The silver haired man looked at Kairi, to her reassuring smile, to the picture in her slim hands of a teen that had done so much and asked for so little in return. "Okay once upon a time."
"Really Riku?" Kairi asked suppressing a giggle "I don't think he'd be impressed"
"No more like rolling around on the floor laughing his head off" Tidus chimed in
"Or holding a video camera to capture Riku of all people saying the famous opening of a fairy story" Selphie was giggling along with Kairi
"Kairi, what did I say?"
"'That it was for Sky to understand' Ok I get it I'm sorry. Now continue!"
"Thank you, now once upon a time there was a boy with spiky brown hair and deep blue eyes, he was the happiest teen you could ever meet but he had a Keyblade and he travelled to other worlds helping the people that lived there and locking the Keyholes away from the darkness, his job was to keep the light safe. One day he got a letter from King Mickey asking him to return to a place called Radiant Garden to fight a load of monsters called heartless that had turned up and because he was the Keyblade Master, he had a sworn duty to the people of that world to help it was also just in his nature to be kind and helpful. In short he had to go. His name was Sora"
