The Keybladed Secrets of Organization XIII Chapter 10 Beach Day
I woke up from a rather horrifying and freaky nightmare. Something about some crazy dude and colors…I'm not very sure about that part but I woke up with dark red marks on my arms which freaked me out and I cussed a lot. No one heard me so I was safe from Link yelling at me for saying words she, Riku, and everyone else at the Organization except Demyx and Roxas, should say. Anyways…I quickly put my coat on and pulled the sleeves down so the marks were hidden. They didn't emit a glow or anything which was a relief. Link and Roxas came into my room at about 7am.
"Hey, we're headed for the beach."Roxas told me, poking his head in so it showed from the doorway.
"Want to come?" Link asked, wearing a green shirt and khakis on to hide her green bikini from Rex.
"Y-yeah…I'll be there in a second…"I replied, and the door was shut. I took my coat off and saw the marks weren't fading away. So, I put on a pink bikini I bought and thought would never fit me…even though it did fit very well. I slid my coat on over it to hide the marks.
At the beach, everyone was there…including Xion. She goes where she is least wanted…which is wherever I'm at. She was next to Axel, continuously nudging him whenever he mumbled the words sleep, nap, and anything associated with the above. Link tanned silently next to Riku while Navi slept. Roxas was in the water wearing black trunks without a shirt on…Rex and Raya were having fun in some bushes at the moment. Xenom lies on the sand tanning her pale ghost skin. I rolled up my coat sleeves and saw the dark red marks were now a pale pinkish color. I took my coat off and laid it on a beach towel.
I glanced at the shoreline and spotted something. I picked the something up and saw it was a red, purple, blue, and black shell. It was rather pretty. The red was as dark as the marks were this morning. I felt something warm touch my shoulder and I spun around and saw Roxas.
"Hey…"He smiled and saw the shell, asking "Did you find that?"
"Yeah."I replied, smiling back. Memories were fresh from the night before where he'd kiss me privately.
"Here's some string…You can wear it as a necklace."Roxas handed me some string. I put the string through a tiny hole in the shell. I tied the string together and was failing at putting it around my neck.
"Um…Here…I got it…"Roxas took the necklace and put it on me.
Meanwhile, Link and Riku had gone to another side of the beach to be alone and a couple. Well, I think they're a couple. Anyways, they lay quietly in the sand when Riku suggested "Let's go for a swim."
"…"Link looked at him, hiding fear, and then replied, "You can."
"C'mon…"Riku stood up and helped her up.
"No…NO…"Link shook her head a lot. Here's the thing…Link can't swim…She nearly drowned in a lake once…Never learned since that day. You can not blame her. She was somewhat traumatized by it. So…Hearing Riku mention the word 'swim' reminded her of that day.
"Please Link…"Riku begged a non-begging face on his pale face.
"NO." Link replied again, sounding assertive.
"Okay…"Riku headed off to the ocean sounding defeated, until he ran over to Link, picked her up, and ran into the water with her screaming and kicking him.
Roxas and I sat on a ledge looking out into the ocean while sipping soda. Rex had gotten lost in the ocean and couldn't swim. Axel was finding a boat so he could rescue him. Anyways, we sat there watching them. I decided to tell Roxas about this dream. He tells me about his dreams so it's fair…right?
"Roxas."I said, getting his attention.
"Hm?"He looked at me with undivided attention.
"I've been having some weird nightmares lately."I told him, awaiting his spiritual advice on dreams.
"Nightmares? What kind of nightmares?"He asked, sounding concern.
"About some crazy dude...Colors..."I replied, recollecting what I remembered which was very minimal.
"Oh...Well...I guess...um..."He was stumped. And confused...And was determined to help me.
"It's okay...I'm confused too."I smiled at him, reassuring him that it's okay if he couldn't give advice.
"Yeah...You have a tough situation..."Roxas confessed, smiling also.
Back with Link and Riku, Link had almost drowned so Riku brought her up to shore. She breathed heavily on the sand then shot an angry look at Riku. Riku cringed, expecting the worst yelling from her. Link got on her knees and coughed up more water.
"RIKU!"She yelled, sounding very angry.
"..."He flinched a little.
"I can't swim stupid! So if you ever do that again...I'll...I'll..."Link held back tears as she yelled at him.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know..."Riku shook a little as he apologized.
"...its okay..."Link accepted it.
"Phew..."Riku was relieved.
"..."Link shook her head, still angry and they walked back to the beach holding hands and watching Rex being rescued by Axel who'd finally found a boat.
At the end of the day, about sunset, Dualnade finally came but by then it was almost time to leave. He always goes off to places...Anyways...Tomorrow will be Rex's judgment day and holds history...
