Hello, everyone! So here's chapter 2! I really hope you guys like this! ^.^ Enjoy!
It was lunch time and the sun was already high up in the sky. Yuki had just finished tying up her little boat and was now walking towards the shack that would lead her up to the bridge and then over to the small island where she spent all of her time. Before she got a chance to put her hand on the door, a ball came flying out of nowhere and whizzed right past her face. She stood still, with her arm outstretched and blinked a couple of times in surprise.
"Miyu! Sorry about that!"
She turned her head to the left and saw Wakka running right past her. She saw him pick the ball that almost killed her earlier and then he walked back over to her.
"Hey, Miyu. Sorry about that. I guess I got a little out of control," he said with a sheepish smile on his face.
Miyu, a name that only Wakka and Tidus called her. She smiled and shook her head.
"No, no. It's alright."
The sheepish smile soon turned into a grin and he was about to say something before a voice interrupted him.
"Yo, Wakka! Come on, let's fight!"
Both Yuki and Wakka turned to see Tidus waiting for Wakka a few feet away.
"I'll be there in a minute!" Wakka called to him. "Once again, sorry, Miyu."
She laughed and waved him off. "Stop apologizing already. I said I was fine, right? So no harm done. Now go fight with Tidus, before he blows his own head off."
They both laughed and Wakka ran off in the direction Tidus went in while waving bye to Yuki. She waved back and as soon as he was out of view she walked inside the shack and made her way up the wooden stairs. She approached the large tree and hopped up on it and did what she always did when she came to this spot – stared out at the ocean and enjoyed the feeling of the breeze flowing through her long cerulean hair. She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the birds flying overhead and the waves crashing against the sides of the small island. For the moment, it was paradise. The sounds of 3 voices made her open her eyes and hop down from the tree. She watched as Sora, Riku, and Kairi slowly made their way to her.
"Wow, you're here early, Miyuki," Kairi said in a surprised voice.
"I'm always here earlier than everyone else, except Tidus and Wakka," she stated dryly.
"Anyway, I have the list of things we'll need," Kairi said while taking out a small list from her pocket. "We need logs, rope, cloth, mushrooms, coconuts, freshwater, and a seagull egg. Riku, you get the logs, Sora, you get the mushrooms and what not, and Miyuki, get the rope and cloth. Meet me here when you have everything, okay?"
She got a series of "You got it" and "Sure" as her answer. With that, you each went your separate ways, minus Kairi whom got to lounge around on the small island. Yuki went to the ladder that led to the oversized tree house and began her ascent. When she reached the top, she walked across the board walkway until she came to a small room. She went inside and found a cloth. 'Perfect.' She thought as she took it down from the wall. 'Now where to get rope from? Wait, isn't there rope in that place that Tidus like to train at? Hm… Well, it's worth a shot, I suppose.' She slung the cloth over her shoulder and made her way down to the bottom level of the tree house. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she took off to the Tidus' training spot. When she arrived, her eyes immediately landed on a long rope in the corner near Tidus. 'Suh-weet! I was right!' She grabbed it and slung it over her other shoulder and took her sweet time getting back to Kairi.
Rope and cloth, right here," Yuki said as she layed the two objects down at the red head's feet.
"Took you long enough," Kairi said as she started checking the items off the list.
Yuki cocked an eyebrow, but said nothing about it and walked away before she actually did say something. On her way down the stairs of the shack, she ran into Riku and saw he was carrying two logs.
"Yuki!" He addressed her.
"Hey, Riku! Oh, those looks heavy!"
Riku just shrugged at her comment and said, "Eh, not really. Anyway, where are you going?"
"I was going to go to the secret spot, since I have nothing else to do."
He lightly smiled at the young blue haired girl in front of him and began walking up the stairs again.
"Well, now you're coming with me. It's been a while since we've actually talked, hasn't it?"
Her eyes widened in surprise and she turned to face him only to find that he was almost to the top. She scurried up the stairs to catch up with him. Yuki and Riku both approached Kairi and he threw the two logs on the ground next to another log a little ways away from Kairi and said, "There, that makes three logs." Kairi nodded and told him good work, while crossing it off the list.
"Has Sora shown up yet?" He asked her.
She shook her head 'no' and then said, "That lazy bum's probably off napping somewhere."
Yuki imagined Sora laying in the sand somewhere along the beach looking dead and snoring quite loudly. She giggled lightly at the thought, which earned a questioning glance from both Riku and Kairi.
"What's so funny, Yuki?"
Her eyes widened and she slightly jumped and brought her hands up to wave them wildly in front of her. "N-nothing. Heh… Heh… Heh." Riku shook his head while Kairi muttered a "weirdo" under her breath, thinking that no one heard her, but unfortunately for her Riku and Yuki heard. Yuki's eyes traveled to the ground and she got a sad look on her face. Riku, noticing this, told Kairi that he'd talk to her later and he grabbed Yuki's hand and began dragging her away. Once they were inside the shack and making their descent, he let go of her hand and began to talk.
"You shouldn't let what she says get to you, Yuki. You're not weird, just different, but that's what makes you, you and I wouldn't have it any other way. Neither would Sora." A blush crept across the girl's face at the mention of Sora's name and she hoped to God that Riku didn't notice.
"Thanks, Riku. You always know how to make me feel better." She smiled and he smiled back.
"Hey, it's what I'm here for."
When they exited the shack, Riku challenged Yuki to a race to the secret spot. Of course, Riku won, but Yuki wasn't that far behind. They both walked in and looked around at all of the different drawings, but one in particular caught Yuki's attention. She walked over and kneeled in front of it. It was a drawing her, Sora, and Riku did. The drawing was of Riku looking like an angry monkey, Sora with a huge grin on his face, and Yuki looking like a kitty (Sora drew the Riku, Yuki drew the Sora, and Riku drew the Yuki). She smiled remember the day that they had drawn that. Riku was chasing Sora around the island for the rest of the day for drawing him like an angry monkey. She giggled and ended up catching the attention of Riku. He walked over and kneeled beside her and saw what she was laughing at.
"Oh, that drawing… I never did get to hit Sora for that drawing."
They both laughed and continued staring at the drawing, getting lost in old memories.
"I miss those days… We were all so young and carefree, you know?" Yuki said in a voice that was barely above a whisper.
A small smile came upon Riku's face and he closed his eyes.
"Yeah… We didn't have to worry about school problems or anything back then. All we did was come to the island and do whatever we wanted. "
A few minutes later, Riku abruptly stood to his feet and Yuki tilted her head to look up at him. "Riku?" He outstretched his hand to her with a smile still on his face.
"Come on, it's most likely getting late, and we have to work on the raft tomorrow."
With a nod, she took his hand and in one swift motion, she was standing on her feet. They both started making their way out of the cave, but before they fully exited, Riku asked, "So when are you going to tell Sora how you feel?"
Yuki, startled, let a squeek escape and started blushing profusely. "W-wha-what are you t-talking about, R-riku?"
He chuckled and stopped walking, so he could turn and face her. "You know what I mean. I can tell that you really like Sora, so why don't you tell him?"
Her gaze fell to the ground and she let her bangs fall into her face. "He doesn't like me… I know he doesn't."
"What makes you say that?" Riku asked with one eyebrow raised.
"The fact that whenever Kairi comes around I become a ghost to him."
The sound of laughter made her look up to see that it was coming from Riku. "Silly, that just means you have to make him notice you again. You're always so quiet, and Kairi's a very loud person."
"So, what you're saying is, is that I should become loud too?" She questioned.
He laughed again and shook his head. "No, no. You just have to be a bit more outgoing and talk more."
She took his words into consideration. 'Be more outgoing and talk more…? Right, I can do that!'
She nodded her head with a smile and said, "Okie poke! I will." Riku smiled in satisfaction and started walking again with Yuki following behind him. They both made it to the docks to see Sora giving Kairi a hug before she climbed in her own little boat. A pang of sadness hit Yuki and her smile disappeared for a moment, but then she remembered Riku's words and her smile instantly reappeared again. They each said goodbye to each other and got in their respected boats and rowed away back to the main island. 'I can do this. I can do this. Tomorrow, I'll do as he says and I'll become visible again.'
Well, that's the end of that one. I hope you guys liked it! Remember, if there's something that you guys think should be changed, or if there's something you don't quite like, please say so and I'll see what I can do to make it better for you. ^.^ Stay tuned for the next part! Something big is going to happen! By the way, does the writing style look better or not?
