The rest of the day flew by the same by the last Riku was exhausted, and glad to be going back to his dorm to rest.
"Hey Riku wait up!" Sora called from behind him. Riku stopped and turned around to see Sora running towards him holding Kairi's hand. Riku stared for a little while and he could feel the jealousy rising in himself a bit, not because he liked kairi, but because at least they had someone to love. Someone to care about to fight with and someone to forgive. He had said this to Sora before about not having anyone and Sora would always say, "There are like a billion girls in school, why don't you just date one of them?"
Riku would reply, "they are not the one girl for me. I there is only one special girl out there, like Kairi for you, and I'm going to find her."
Sora would just sigh to what ever he was doing.
But Riku stayed true. He met plenty of girls interested in him but he was never interested. He smiled at Sora and Kairi and waited for the to catch up.
"Hi Sora, hi Kairi." Riku said when they were close enough.
"Hey Riku!" Kairi gave him a quick smile as Sora leaned into Riku,
"Hey I'm going down by the caves with Kairi, so don't worry if I'm back late. She said she wanted a romantic date… whatever that means. I think our last few dates were romantic."
Riku rolled his eyes, Sora could be pretty dumb at times.
"Sora," Riku whispered, "taking her to your blitzball pratice, and having he watch you get hit in the face with the ball, isn't romantic."
Sora just shrugged amd waked off with Kairi. Riku walked to the dorm, he threw down his bag, kicked off his shoes, and lay down on the bed. That's when he started to doze off.
The girl with the light brown hair who had been in his dreams previously was there again. She was sitting on her bed, the air was still. When there came a knocking on her door,
"Come in." She said. A boy opened the door and ran over to her.
"Please say it isn't true!" The boy yelled and wrapped his arms around her. "Ssshhh," she said trying to calm him down, "Roxas what are you talking about?" Roxas looked up at her his face all contorted like he wanted to cry, but he just couldn't get the tears out.
"A-A-Axel said you were leaving."
The girl sighed, "yes, it's true, I am."
"no! But why!?" Roxas yelled.
"Because I have to Roxas, don't you think I want to stay?"
"no, please…"
"Roxas, I wish so desperately that I could stay with you, Axel, and Demyx. Like a family, like we always talked about being. But sometimes things happen, and it's never fair but we have to do what we have to do."
"NO! Why can't you just stay, please, you're the only one I have here who cares!"
"That's not true, Axel cares, and Demyx. And they'll take good care of you."
"Can I come with you?" Roxas looked up her, his eyes big and desperate.
"I-I guess, I just never thought of that. Go get your stuff I'll be waiting for you outside of my room, ok?" She brushed back some of his hair as he looked up at her with a big beaming smile. He nodded and quickly jumped up and ran out the door. She got up and walked out of her room only a few seconds went by when she heard foot steps she turned to see not Roxas but Axel and running towards her with Xemnas following close behind.
"You have to get out of here!" Axel yelled at her.
"What about Roxas!?" She yelled back.
"There's no time just run!" Axel caught up to her and embraced her and kissed her forehead,
"don't forget me…" he said in a soft voice.
"I could never." She whispered, "take care of Roxas, take care of him as if he was me."
Axel looked taken back, Roxas run down the hallway he reached where the girl and Axel were and he saw Xemnas following behind. He ran to the girl so he could leave with her but as he did a portal opened up behind her and Axel pushed her in towards it, and she quickly jumped inside. She left me He thought. She never cared about me. The girl was falling into the darkness and everything seemed to slow down.
