Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Kingdom Hearts. Nor will I ever.

Birds sang, a slight breeze blew by and the sea was calm. Finally, peace had returned to the humble island. Riku walked on the beach staring out into the endless ocean. Thinking about the recent events it seemed like ages since he walked on the beach. Riku stopped and breathed deeply taking in all the scents around him. He was finally home.

"Riku, Riku!" Sora shouted and waved his hands high.

Riku looked up and saw his friend Sora running down the hill with a huge smile on his face. Riku smiled back and he wondered why it had been so hard before. Oh, yeah. He had hated Sora once for stealing Kairi away from him and had given himself to darkness. Luckily Sora had helped him come to his senses. Thinking back on it Riku laughed but a part of him still longed for what Sora had. For Kairi and Sora had a special connection that Riku always wanted.

"Hey Sora, where have you been?" Riku asked as Sora stopped in front of him.

"Sorry for being late. Kairi needed my help moving things in the storage. She complains that it's untidy and then I end up cleaning it for her." Sora stretched and rolled his shoulders.

"So why do you do it for her?" Riku asked with curiosity, even though he already knew the answer.

"Well I guess, when you love someone, you do what you can to make them happy." Sora looked at Riku and could see that the subject was touchy so he tried to get off the subject. "Anyway… ready to go fishing?"

Riku smiled at Sora and said, "You dork, you're the one that asked me to help you and then I'm the one to show up first. Of course I'm ready."

The two friends ran to the shallow water and looked for any fish that came swimming by. A fish swam under Sora's legs and he tried to grab it. Sora almost had the fish in his grasp when he toppled forward into the water and scared all of the fish away. He lifted his head from the water and coughed while Riku laughed at him.

"Hey, that's not funny. (cough) I almost had that one." Sora looked up at Riku and saw that he had caught three fish while they were swimming away.

"Looks like you could use more practice." Riku said as he stuffed the fish into a bag he had brought with him.

A couple hours passed and the two boys counted the number of fish they caught.

"I caught 27. How many did you get Sora?" Riku asked tying up the bag.

"Four." Sora said with a discouraged tone. He placed the fish in his own bag and Riku tried to hold back a laugh.

"Come on, we need to get these in the storage for safekeeping." Riku stood and began to walk ahead of Sora.

"Oh, right," Sora followed and caught up to Riku's side. "Riku?"

"What?"

"I envy you."

Riku took in these words and stopped on the deck. Sora turned to him with confusion in his eyes.

"What's to envy, in a person like me?" Riku asked softly.

Riku dropped his head in thought and could fell Sora's stare.

"You can accomplish anything that comes to your mind. I can barley keep up. I wish that some day I can accomplish the skills you have." Sora said.

Riku tried to quickly get on another topic and he instantly thought of Sora and Kairi. Oh how he envied Sora for having someone that cared for him that much.

"Sora, what are you waiting for?" Riku said bluntly. Sora was totally confused with the sudden question and couldn't think of a response. "With Kairi I mean."

"Oh…I…I um…"

"You do realize that she cares for you deeply. So why do you not tell her your feelings." Sora didn't speak. "If I were in your position I wouldn't hesitate to ask her, if she would stay with me forever."

"Riku…I don't think I can ask her."

"It should be easy for you." Sora looked at him with hesitation

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Sora asked.

Riku thought to himself, 'Sure I'm okay. At least I think so.'

"I promise that whatever you do I won't interfere. Now go find Kairi, before you change your mind." Riku waved him off.

Sora smiled and ran off with his four fish strapped to his back. Riku sighed and walked to the storage with his fish. He pushed the door open with a creak and stared into the dark room. Riku walked over to the food and set the bag down as the darkness moved about. Riku looked up and smirked at the darkness remembering how he had felt once.

"It's a distant memory now." He said and began to walk out.

When he turned his back a bright light flashed and wind toe at the walls.

"What the…" Riku was blown back and hit the wall.

He watched as the light started to subside but in the blaze of the light he saw a womanly figure. He stared in astonishment as the storage grew dark once more and the female was standing in front of him. She dropped to her knees and touched his face.

"Riku…is that you?" the woman asked with a desperate tone to her voice.

"It can't be." Riku heart raced as he stared into her eyes.
