They were total opposites, right down to their appearances. There was sarcastic, stubborn Riku, with his wild silver mane and ocean green eyes. Then there was shy, sweet Naminé, with her sunshine-colored hair and sky blue eyes. One was a warrior, always moving, always with something to say whether or not anyone cared to hear it. The other was an artist, always watching, always quick to pick up on the things that people didn't say.
Yet despite their many differences, Naminé and Riku were drawn to each other. They both needed help getting through the maze that their lives had become of late. And while neither could lead well, once they found each other, they never let go. It was like each had found a long-lost piece of themselves that they'd never known existed.
They needed each other, because without understanding there could be no end to the hate that plagued them, threatening to take them both down. Together they learned that there can be no shadow without a light to cast it, and that the light couldn't be fully appreciated without dark times.
That was what Naminé and Riku were: faded light and rising dark. They completed each other. And even knowing they weren't perfect, even knowing nothing could ever be perfect for them...
When they were with each other, it wasn't lying to say thatthey were in paradise.
