The Lives and lies of Sora Tetsuya and Riku Akeru
Riku could easily see why Sora hated Algebra, the advanced stuff was hard and the foil method a nightmare, to say the least, plus he was getting hungry, eventually the bell rang and he joined Sora and Kairi for lunch.
"Hey Sora you ever hear of a girl named Crystal Ishiu?" Riku asked his two best friends.
"Yeah," Sora said in a mouthful as he proceeded to swallow,
"She just moved here my dad actually, dragged me to their house to help them move in she's certainly not shy, she kept asking me who I was, who I knew, where everything was, she seemed really interested in you now that I think about it."
And with that he went back to his Mac and cheese,
"I met her today in Art class, she told me that you were the one, who told her how to find Mr. Ariko's class, so she could be the first to be the schools new journalist. After that she went on about how excited she was to get those juicy stories." Kairi added,
Sora laughed, "Her attitude certainly matches the job." The brunette realized that Riku was glaring at him not meanly but in a sarcastic thanks a lot kind of way.
"What?" Sora asked,
"Thanks for leaving info about the new girl out Chatty Mcmovesalot." Riku said flatly,
Sora rubbed the back of his head…"Uh I forgot." He sheepishly replied,
"Uh huh." Riku replied sarcastically,
Sora mused for a moment then panicked slightly, "Uh oh I think I saw her see me talking to Mr. Ariko about those notes the King gave us you know the ones that say we've been studying abroad,
"Did Kairi get one?" Riku turned quickly to see Crystal standing over his shoulder a little surprised by her sudden appearance he turned to Sora and shrugged signaling to say something,
"Uh Mr. King is a teacher who had us take some lessons last year studying abroad, Kairi wasn't able to go until like the last few months, which was lucky for her because we missed a lot of Assignments and she didn't."
"You make it sound like a bad thing Sora." Kairi pouted playfully. Part of the lie was true, as the time of Choice of Xehanort and his band of clones and goons to kidnap Kairi had been at the start of Summer Break horrible but for her convenient,
"So what's up?" Riku asked.
"I just wanted to ask you if you'd do an interview about your feelings about the new year it'll be the first time a senior's interviewed for '1st day back!'" Crystal declared,
"There are other Seniors so why me?" Riku asked with an arched eyebrow not liking the idea of doing an interview,
"You're the first one I know, besides that studying abroad thing would be a major scoop!" she stated excitingly and with that took off pony tail flowing,
"Do-da do da do dooo." Sora sang innocently,
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRL FRIEND!" Riku snapped with a glare,
"Sure Riku whatever you say, course that's what they all say." Sora replied slyly,
"Can it you!" Riku growled,
"Now boys it's our first day back and Sora come on be nice." Kairi stated,
"I was just joking around." Sora replied innocently,
"Like I said." Kairi stated slyly,
"Ohhkay." Sora stated, the bell rang as the three finished up and headed for class,
In Riku's history class…
Riku found that he and Crystal also shared their History class, and were learning about Destiny Island's history,
"And so in Ancient times the Natives of Destiny Islands would throw something of great value into the Volcano, to show gratitude for their trials and tribulations." Ms. Hisora rang on.
"Trials and tribulations? Probably cause that stuff makes you a better person, so I should probably throw something into a Volcano but what? Way to Dawn maybe?" Riku snicker at his own thought.
"Would you like to share your joke with us Mr. Akeru?" Ms. Hisora asked unimpressed,
"It wasn't a joke ma'am I was just thinking about my life, when you told us how the Natives showed gratitude for their hardships and the thing I considered giving up to molten lava made me laugh." Riku explained,
"Well don't take it into serious consideration, the tributes have been discredited, and the Volcano dormant for thousands of years, but at least you're paying attention."
"Yes Miss Ishiu?" Hisora asked when the Mauvette raised her hand.
"Why show gratitude for all the bad stuff why not the good?" Crystal asked,
"Good question this is because the Ancients believed that with the bad good can come out of it through Hardship, mistakes, even failure they learned to be better people it's like the saying every cloud has a silver lining or as Mr. Akeru says 'Walk to Dawn.'"
"Walk…to Dawn?" Crystal asked with a tilt of the head and looked over at Riku who buried his face into his history book.
"Really Ms. Hisora?" Riku groaned in his head he had just dodged a bullet, caused by her over hearing them talking, at lunch and he really didn't want to draw her attention anymore, she was definitely the kind of person who would stumble on to the truth if she dug deep enough,
The bell rang as Riku walked out of his final class independent studies, the one class where all the Homework consisted of essays, the Twilight Town gang consisting of Hayner, Pence, Olette and now Roxas, Xion and Namine, all complained about it themselves and showed sympathy for Riku when he was landed with it.
"I can see why they hate it," Riku thought, "Oh well might as well make up a bunch of stuff about summer vacation."
"RIKU!" the silver haired boy jumped a little and turned quickly to see Crystal standing there, once again she snuck up on him.
"You could tap me on the shoulder ya know, you scared me!" Riku told her irritably.
"Sorry about that I just wanted to ask you if you thought Friday night was a good night for the interview." Crystal replied,
"I don't see why it wouldn't." Riku replied, "She's the new journalist, besides four days is enough time to come up with a convincing back up story for Sora's." he thought.
"Hey could you get Sora and Kairi to come along too, hey I know that Café downtown would be a good place to go, let's talk there!" she stated,
"Hold on a minute!" Riku stated,
"See you Friday!" Crystal stated cutting him off and running off leaving Riku in shock,
"I can't believe I just got duped into making a double date…what am I gonna tell Sora and Kairi?" Riku thought huffing.
Later….
"Double date? She wants us there for comments?" Sora and Kairi stated in unison.
"Yeah and before I could say anything, she left so what do you guys say?" Riku asked,
"Sure, we'll go, we've been wanting to go down there anyway the three of us what's one more besides, your brand new love life gets a kick start it's win win!" Sora stated with a goofy grin, prompting Riku to flick him between the eyes making him rub the spot in irritation.
"You know Riku, this interview might be a charade to get you on a date with her." Kairi teased,
"What happened to sticking up for me?" Riku stated, with an arched eyebrow and crossed arms.
"Come on Riku, you know were joking!" Sora replied.
"Yeah I know, so I'll see you guys Friday?" Riku asked,
"Of course." Kairi replied with a smile.
Riku walked home and laid on his bed that night it was definitely and interesting Monday, three years ago this whole thing started, because Terra had chosen him to weild the Keyblade, it was originally him that was to weild the Kingdom Key but his heart had grown too weak he had given into the Darkness and lost his body to Xehanort's Heartless,
It was thanks to Sora, Donald and Goofy that he got it back he was trapped in the realm of Darkness, he escaped and traversed the twelve basement floors of Castle Oblivion only to find that Sora had entered a deep sleep because Namine, a memory witch had been forced by Organization XIII's number XII to rewrite almost all of his memory and she had promised to repair it, he had to sleep for an entire year.
But thanks to Xemnas and Vexen, Xion had been created and unwittingly began to absorb the memories of Kairi, and other moments in Sora's life in order to become a Sora clone under their control to collect Hearts, a plan that eventually turned into one to keep Sora into an eternal slumber, plus his Nobody Roxas was running around,
He had given up his physical form, in order to defeat Roxas and bring him to D.I.Z aka Ansem the Wise, the plan succeeded and he was ready to dive into Darkness forever if that's what it took to bring Sora back, but he had been fortunate enough to get his body back, and Xemnas and the rest of the Organization were defeated.
Then he and Sora had to take the Mark of Mastery exam to prove themselves entering a world of sleep to unlock seven Keyholes of sleep teaming up with Dream eater spirits near the end it had gone horribly wrong for Sora not only was he heart almost shattered beyond repair he was sent into the Dark realm it took him, Lea and Mickey forever to get him and by extension (to their pleasant surprise.) Aqua out they then traversed worlds new and old to find the others sleeping in sadness.
Ventus, who needed his Heart returned to him,
Terra, whose body had been stolen by Xehanort, and his mind left to rot in Keyblade Graveyard,
Xion, a being of memory literally wiped from existence and Roxas and Namine the Nobodies of Sora and Kairi who needed existence of their own.
Was life though as interesting as it was, was confusing at times but that wasn't the kind of interesting today had, and it caused a small but brand new adventure, it was a fun kind of interesting and no one had to suffer,
Riku mulled this over in his head, he considered himself those sleeping in sadness due to his choices and the consequences that followed, thanks to Sora they were all saved.
He yawned, "Sora there's a lot of people out there that owe you a lot!"
Terra: Wow your faith in Sora is well….not there
KHL: -_- I know but there are so many signs! I do hope I'm wrong though
Ven: Yeah me too, but some of your theories still stand?
KHL: More or less…the mind controlled slave…I'm thinking right Idea wrong person.
Ven: (Points at himself) Me?
KHL: (Nods) Sorry dude
Ven: Aww!
Aqua: Well like you said you hope your wrong don't forget to read and review!
