~Stuck in between Light & Dark~ Sora/Riku Story

'How did I get here? Have I died? Why am I surrounded in…darkness?'

I lay there staring up at what seems to be a night sky, the sound of waves crashing on the shore. I could feel this weight in my hand as it suddenly disappears into nothing. Then I felt it; the searing pain in my side. I could feel the cold, stickiness of coagulated blood on my torso. Then I saw something. My vision was blurry but I could tell it was a person and they were trying to speak to me. I felt hands wrap around my body as I faded away.

'What's going on? Is this really happening?'

Sora's POV

I stood there at the dock on Destiny Islands watching Riku and Kairi sail away back home for the night. I admit, I was a bit jealous, seeing as how Riku and I both had feelings for Kairi. I sighed as I decided to watch the rest of the sun set over the horizon by myself as I sat down on the knocked over palm tree.

When the sun finally disappeared for the night, I started walking back to the dock to head home myself. As I walked on the beach, I stared up at the stars, seeing the brightest ones twinkle above me as I smiled. Just then I saw a shooting star and giggled.

"Man! I wish I knew what else was out there. There has to be other worlds out there somewhere…Kairi is proof. I wish I had more proof."

I continued walking nonchalantly still staring at the stars as I spotted another shooting star and smiled. That smile faded when I noticed it was falling straight down into the atmosphere as I stared in awe.

"WOAH!" I yelped, seeing it land about a mile away on the beach somewhere as I sprinted towards it.

I cautiously approached the site when I noticed someone crawling out of the water and collapsing over on their back. I ran over as quickly as I could as I noticed it was a girl. She was covered in blood on one side and the outfit she wore was all torn.

I kneeled to her as I heard her moan as I softly spoke to her. "Hey don't worry; I'm going to help you!" She didn't respond as I assume she passed out.

I then picked up her frail body as I rushed her to the boat and placed her in with me as I rowed back to the island and carried her all the way to my place.

I spent the whole night up taking care of her. I cleaned up her wounds as best as I could and bandaged them. I guess I fell asleep at one point because I woke up to someone poking my head. I lifted my head to come face to face with…her.

My POV

I woke up in what seemed like someone's bedroom. I was covered in blankets and I could feel a bandage was on my side. I lifted the sheets and quirked my head.

'How did that happen? Why are my clothes all torn? Where the HELL am I?'

I looked to the side to notice a boy with brown spikey hair sleeping at the bed side peacefully. I looked outside the window that was to my left side as I noticed a sea just a few miles out as the sun was already half way up in the sky. I looked to the boy again.

'I have no idea who he is…was I kidnapped?'

A piece of memory flashed inside my mind as I saw myself being attacked by enemy fighters and crash landing into this world. I poked the boys head cautiously a few times as his head rose and locked eyes with mine. He was an attractive guy. He had soft facial features and electric blue eyes that were stunning.

He sat upright as I stayed silent and he gave a warm smiled. "Hey you're awake. I was worried about you. You were in pretty bad condition last night when I found you."

I stayed silent as I listened to him talk. "My name is Sora. What's yours?"

I looked to him, silent for a moment, analyzing him. He seemed too friendly…but maybe this was a friendly world. I didn't know anything about kindness. I wasn't born in a world of kindness and have not been treated as such in a long while. I looked down for a moment, averting my crimson red eyes from his intense blue ones.

"Nira…my name is Nira."

Sora's POV

The girl had woken up. She was quite beautiful. Her hair was a gorgeous eggplant color, her dark purple hair I hadn't noticed in the darkness of the night. Her crimson red eyes were also captivating that I couldn't stop staring. The sun reflected them to look like rubies. I spoke to her, trying to be friendly and comfort her. She was an "alien" after all. When she told me her name I smiled. It seemed to fit her perfectly. She seemed lost and confused though and I questioned her.

Nira's POV

I heard him speak to me again. "Where did you come from?"

I glanced at him. "That's a good question…I'm not sure myself to be honest."

His eyes grew wide as I continued to speak. "The only thing I last remember is crash landing here, everything else is a blur. I'm surprised I still knew my name…"

I trailed off into thought for a few moments as I averted my attention outside hearing kids playing in the streets. "What is this place?"

"Destiny Islands."

Sora went on to tell me about his home town and all of his friends. When he explained how his friend Kairi wound up on this island almost just like how I did (appearing out of nowhere from somewhere) I slightly smiled. I was happy to know that I wasn't the only one out there in the universe who had gotten lost and wound up somewhere they were an alien to.

He seemed like a nice person. Although I do remember feelings I have towards trusting people, he was too sweet to be someone who would back stab you. After all, he did save my life and I owed him for that.
