Riku decided to check on Naminé's progress with Sora's memories. He was still a little weary of her being incapable of feeling emotions, but he cared about Sora much more than the acquaintance responsible for putting his best friend into this comatose state in the first place.
"How close are you to being done, Nobody?" he snapped.
"Please don't talk to me like that," Naminé said; even though it had been months, she remembered Vexen's Riku Replica as well as her two brief conversations with Riku himself in Castle Oblivion.
"It's not like you can feel hurt. Why do you care?" Riku huffed.
Naminé pondered how best to explain that in a sense, oddly enough, she could feel something the blond thought to be very similar to hurt when the boy she viewed, very foolishly considering everything, as her sole friend treated Naminé how DiZ treated her.
She chose the way of song:
"You think I'm an ignorant savage.
And you've been so many places,
I guess it must be so.
But still I cannot see,
If the savage one is me,
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know...
You think you know everything about me,
That 'Nobodies are dead things' you can claim.
But I know whether we have Hearts,
We do have life,
Do have spirit,
Do have name...
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you.
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger,
You learn things you never knew,
You never knew.
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?" Naminé gestured to a drawing.
"Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?" The Cheshire Cat happened to pass by.
"Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?" The blond danced from one picture to another.
"Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?"
Naminé snuck outside without DiZ noticing, and Riku followed. She started running around the forest.
"Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest,
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth,
Come roll in all the riches all around you,
And for once
Never wonder what their worth.
The two different Keys are my brothers." An image of Sora and Roxas appeared in her head.
"The Hero and the Princess my friends," Riku looked away as she smiled up at him.
"And we are all connected to each other
In a circle,
In a hoop that never ends."
"How high does the sycamore grow?" Naminé asked, climbing up one.
"If you cut it down,
Then you'll never know." A pack of wolves passed in the distance as she sang:
"And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon.
For whether we have Hearts or are has-beens," the young Nobody told Riku, taking his hands.
"We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain.
You can borne the burden and still,
All you hold is that until
You can paint with all the colours of the wind."
Thanks for the editing Nat.
Thank you He Who Never Was and Kuroshobi for following. Thank you moonrose221 for favoriting. Thank you SoraKairiRikuNamine, Starlight, and LaserLightCannon for your reviews.
speedster101: I'll try to do that, although normally I don't do songs unless they were sung by a character, but it's probably about time I get out of my comfort zone. Also, I haven't seen Zootopia yet and don't want to have spoilers so I'm going to hold off on any Zootopia songs until I see Zootopia.
Xandyflare: I know, but based on the situation it was easier to use Master Eraqus than Master Xehanort.
