Kingdom Hearts: Reverse/Rebirth, Riku's Story

Prologue:

"Sora you lazy bum!" Riku heard Kairi say. Sora was always slacking of, leaving him to do all the work. He walked up to Sora and Kairi on the beach and said, "So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft! And you," he said to Kairi, "You're just as lazy as he is."

"So you noticed," she replied, "Alright, we'll finish it together! I'll race you!"

"What? Are you kidding?" Riku asked.

"One, two, three!" at three, Riku and Sora took off running along the beach. Kairi came far behind, laughing all the way.

Sora, Riku, and Kairi were building a raft, so they could see what else there is in the world besides their island. Riku had already done his daily part, so he decided to take the day off. While he was lying on his tree, about an hour later, Sora walked up to him. Riku saw him and said, "Did find everything you needed for the raft, I already gave my stuff to Kairi.

Sora nodded and said, "Grab your sword!"

Riku replied, "This one decides the champion!"

Riku jumped off of the tree and grabbed his sword, and Sora took his out. Sora ran at Riku, who quickly parried his attack. Riku quickly counterattacked, swinging his sword fiercely, but Sora jumped backwards just in time and hit Riku with a hard swing to knock him down, but Riku retaliated with a fast pop-up kick to know Sora down.

"Oh, well. Better luck next time, Sora."

"Aw, man!"

(One Hour Later)

"Sora!"

"Yeah Riku? Huh?" Riku threw him what looked like a fruit.

"It's a paupu fruit. You wanted one didn't you?"

"Huh?"

"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. Come on! I know you want to try it!"

"What're you talking about?"

The next day, Riku got up early and decided to look for food for the trip, so he went to the cove, where he knew that mushrooms grew there (He also packed some stuff from his house) about an hour later, Sora showed up.

"Hey Riku, what would you name the raft? I'd name it Excalibur."

"I'd name it Highwind. Hey, Sora, You want to race?"

"All right, first one to touch the tree and back. If I win, I'm captain, and if you win- "

"I get share a paupu with Kairi"

"Huh?"

"Deal? The winner gets to share a paupu with Kairi?"

"Hey, Wait a minute!"

That's when Kairi showed up. "Are you boys at it again?" all right, on my count. One, two three!"

They took of running, neither of them looking back, neither of them falling behind, but when when Sora took the regular route, Riku climbed the ladder and took the rope, almost all the way to the tree.

"All right! We're naming it Highwind!"

What was that all about?" Sora asked.

"Oh, the paupu thing? That was just a joke. Anyway, you better talk to Kairi."

(Later That Day)

Riku was just out, exploring the island, taking one last look before he left, and he found a small cave in the wall. "I remember this place," he said, "this is where me and Sora used to play when we were kids." He went inside, just to see it one last time, and he saw the door, the one that appeared the night of the meteor shower.

"Please, if you lead off of this island, open for me, because I can't wait to get out of here." After that, he went back to his house to get some rest.

(That Night)

A storm was coming towards the islands, and Riku saw it while in his room, and decided to go make sure that the raft would be okay. He figured that Sora and Kairi would be there too, so he took his boat, and went.

When he got there, the whole place was infested with these weird black creatures. Riku tried to fight them off, but to no avail. He decided to go look for Sora and Kairi.

"Riku!" he heard Sora yell.

"The Door has opened."

"Huh?"

"The Door has opened, Sora! Now we can go to the outside world!"

"But what about Kairi!"

"Kairi's coming with us!" With that, Riku reached out his hand to sora, who tried to reach him, but the darkness engulfed both of them.

After that, Riku's life would never be the same.
