Chapter four: Destiny Islands
The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the sound of waves outside the ship. The second thing I noticed was that I holding tightly to someone.
I opened my eyes to see Axel conked out, his head resting on the head board, like he had fallen asleep holding me. Which he probably had, seeing as his arms were wrapped firmly around my waist.
I shifted my head to see Xion asleep on the other bed. She was sleeping peacefully. And now that I think about it, so was Axel. I could feel the steady rising and falling of his chest. It was odd, I couldn't feel a heartbeat - well duh, I reminded myself, he has no heart - but he was still warm. Maybe it was because of his element.
It was nice and peaceful, Axel and Xion both breathing deeply and slowly, and the waves crashing outside.
Wait, waves? Did that mean we were already there? That was impossible right?
"WE'RE HERE!" Roxas exclaimed, bursting into the room. Xion woke with a start and muttered something foul. Geez, that girl had a vocabulary! I need to get her a swear jar.
Axel on the other hand was still sleeping. I tried to escape from his grasp but he held steadfast.
"A little help?" I inquired.
With the help of Roxas and a sleepy-eyed Xion, Axel's arms were pried off of me and I squirmed loose.
Then I rolled him onto the floor and laughed at his flummoxed expression, along with the other Nobodies.
"We're at Destiny Islands now!" Roxas exclaimed. That perked Xion up a bit, because we were on an island, and islands meant beaches.
"Sorry to burst your guys' bubble, but we don't have the proper, err, apparel." I coughed.
"Check the wardrobe!" Roxas was practically bouncing as he - no lie - flat out ran over to the wardrobe that was in the room. Luckily Xion intercepted him before he could open it, because there were bras and crap in there. He did not need to see those.
"We will." I assured him, while walking over. Then Axel grabbed my ankle, making me fall on top of him.
"Well aren't you the perv in the mornings." I teased and got off of him. "Now get out so Xion and I can get changed!" I barked.
Roxas ran out while Axel just took his sweet time getting up off of the floor. I swear he did it just to irk me.
When Axel had finally left, Xion and I looked through the bathing suits that were in the wardrobe.
"I….. Don't really like any of these." Xion muttered, holding a bathing suit that was no more than a bunch of string.
"You can trash that one." I rested my face on my knees and sighed. I walked over to the wardrobe and picked up another one. It was a silver tow-piece. The top was halter style with black trimming and the bottoms were shorts, also with black trimming and two black roses on them.
"I call this one!" I yelled, overjoyed at the fact that I had found a decent bathing suit. "Now I'll help you Xion, because I seem to have the magic touch!"
"You're a load you know that?" she laughed, but waved at me to go on ahead. I reached in again and pulled out a light purple two piece with ruffles on the top and the bottoms were shorts with grey beads on them.
"Will this work?" I asked.
"Possibly." She smirked.
"You're really pale." Roxas said to Xion and me as we exited our room. I was messing with the bottoms of my swimsuit self-consciously, not accustomed to showing so much skin. Xion was nervous too, seeing as she kept drumming her hands on her thighs.
"Where's Axel?" I asked Roxas.
"Right behind you." I heard him breathe in my ear.
"HOLEY SHIZ MAN!" I yelled and whipped around to see Axel's smirking face 2 inches from mine.
"Let's go." I muttered, pushing past Axel and out the door, onto the beach.
I smiled when the sun hit my skin. Roxas was right of course, I was extremely pale, but I never tanned. I just burnt and peeled back to my original pasty whiteness. I looked up at the sky and saw a funny-shaped tree on a raised part of the island. I waded around the side of the edge and found a latter to climb up.
I sat down in the bent of the odd tree. It was similar to a palm tree, but had star-shaped fruit growing on it. It couldn't be star-fruit because it only looked like a star after you cut it. I shimmied up to the leafed of the tree and plucked one of the strange fruits.
It was a simple yellow star, with a surprisingly tough but smooth exterior. I turned it around a few times, wondering how far it would go if I threw it.
"That's a paopu fruit." I heard Roxas say from beside me.
I shot him a questioning look.
"They're unique to the island. I know about them because I have some memories of some guy in red talking about another guy with silver hair about them." I stared out at the ocean.
So that's his memory... I thought. I had had that memory for the longest time, but I never knew who it belonged to.
"Is it anything special?" I asked him.
"Apparently if two people share one, their destinies become intertwined." He shrugged.
"That's…special." I muttered.
Roxas and took one look at each other and started cracking up laughing.
Suddenly I was flying off of the tree and landed in the water. I came up out of the water brushing my damp hair out of my eyes to see Axel, Roxas and Xion laughing hysterically.
"Hardy har har." I muttered, wringing out my sopping hair.
"What's the point of coming to a beach if you're not gonna get in the water?" Axel called out.
"You….." I muttered.
"Me what?" Axel laughed
"You're gonna get it!" I yelled, smiling as I swam towards the beach.
We spent awhile splashing each other and we had chicken fights, with Xion on Roxas' shoulders and me on Axel's.
When the sun was setting we sat on the paopu tree and watched the sunset. Well, Roxas and Xion sat on the tree. Axel stood at the base and I sat with my legs dangling off the side of the island.
"I'm not saying this wasn't fun and all… but was there a specific reason why we stopped here?" I twisted around and asked.
Roxas and Axel looked at each other.
"CRAP!" they both yelled.
Xion and I laughed as we watched them run around like crazy, getting ingredients for fuel.
"Things never stay calm around here, do they?" I laughed.
"Yeah, but it's more fun that way." Xion smiled.
So that's chapter four. I'll let you hug one of the penguins I got from burgessa if you review!~~~~~
