One Hundred Visions of the Eyes That Couldn't Lie

29 – Jigsaw


The Organization had laid an intricate plot.

For every choice Riku made, they had another back-up plan.

He simply couldn't win.

Then they made a mistake. They had a back-up plan that didn't back-up. It was a jigsaw piece that didn't fit with the rest of the puzzle.

"Xion?" Riku asked, fiddling with the apple she'd brought for him.

"Yes, Riku?" she replied, munching on her own apple.

"I really appreciate you coming out to visit me…"

The raven-haired girl smiled. "I'm glad."

He smiled, but it quickly faded. "But you don't have to risk your neck coming out here. Axel was pretty mad last time."

Xion wrinkled her nose as she munched. "He's an overprotective brother. We've made amends and as long as I come back, he's fine with it."

His grin took over half his face. "Well, it's a lot less lonely now that you chose to come out here." He laughed happily. "I'm glad."

Xion twisted the apple's stem, counting the turns before it broke off. She smiled. "I'm glad too."


A/N: The stem broke off on R. ^_^
