This is another short story of my AU for the couple of Sora/Selphie, and Riku/Kairi. Hope you like it, this chapter contains more Riku/Kairi than Sora/Selphie, but don't worry. They'll be back on my third chapter. So without saying the disclaimers, here we go.
Kingdom Hearts- Within Body, and Soul
The small row boat continued to paddle away from the island known as Destiny Isle. Since the past incident, no one was speaking as the rain still didn't let up. Selphie looked towards the heart broken Sora, who continued to stare at the island. She wished she could help him, give him a friendly hug telling him everything's going to be okay, but she couldn't in her current condition of rowing the boat. But that didn't stop her from having this strange feeling erupt throughout her, a feeling she couldn't explain.
"So why did you come back anyways?" Sora asked interrupting her thoughts, not taking his eyes off the island. "Well if you want to know the truth, I forgot my jump rope back at the island. Of course I didn't expect to find to still on the island." Sora turned his head towards her. "I'm sorry, it's because of me you didn't get to retrieve it." Sora replied as he instantly sneezed feeling the sniffles coming back to him again. "You got to be kidding!? I couldn't leave you sick like this, that's why we're going to my home." Sora looked at her, as he tried to think of what to say so he could lighten the mood. "So what's you home like? You never talk about it when you come to the island." Selphie face shifted down into the water. "You'll see, though I don't like to talk about it much."
"Why is that? It's nothing to be embarrass about." Sora replied. Selphie only softly sighed. "You don't understand, my family isn't like your family, or anybody else. There different!" Upon hearing Selphie last sentence. Sora decided not to push the subject any further, though he quite didn't understand what she meant by 'different'. He soon found himself scratching his head, racking his brains trying to think why. But his mind too, gave up. As he began to experience a sudden chill within him, laying his hand on his throbbing head. Luckily Selphie noticed out of the corner of her eye, the current state he was in as she ran to the other side of the boat. Without a moment notice, she quickly laid her own hand on top of his sweaty fore-head. "Oh my Sora, your burning up. I think you may have ammonia." Sora only smiled weakly, in a delirious state. "I love you too Kairi."

"Am I dead!?" Sora asked as he found himself in what appeared to be a spiritual obsess. The afterlife, some called it. With the power of flight taking to hold of him. The whole island of Destiny Isle stood laying below his feet. He could see everything in the distance of the sky. Tidus, the lad younger than him by one year, ready his pole against Wakka, a major fan to the game known around the world as blitz ball. Without a second, Wakka quickly launched his powerful blitz ball attack at the expecting boy. As the ball came flying towards him at an incredible speed. In the last second with a flip of the wrist, Tidus sent the ball flying back to Wakka.
"Is that all you got!?" Tidus questioned seeing Wakka down on the ground. The ball itself left a huge red mark on his face. The sound of giggling, and laughter caught Sora's attention. On the side lines watching, stood his two best friends Riku, and Kairi. Each holding hands watching deeply. "Hey that wasn't funny, that hurt." Wakka shouted, dusting himself off. "I know, but we couldn't resist." Riku explained. Wakka quickly looked away pissed. Of course Sora had to agree with Riku, it was funny seeing Wakka being impaled by his own weapon. A smile passed his lips, just thinking about it, but quickly faded after seeing Kairi, lightly kissing Riku on the cheek. A moment pass, as Riku flashed Kairi a quick smile. Sora's happiness was once again smashed like a mirror into pieces, forever to be broken.
"What's that?" Tidus pointed, snapping the floating ghost like Sora out of his love sick state. Everyone as well turned to gaze upon the secret spot. The small cave, that once held childhood memories, was now replaced with a huge white door where the entrance once stood. 'That can't be good.' Sora thought as the door illuminated a strange green glow. But unknown to them inside, laying dormant inside was a group of sinister shadows waiting peacefully for 'it' to awaken.
The huge white wooden door, sprung wide open. As what seemed to be an evil fog started surrounding the whole island, Sora felt that the sky itself had submitted to the fog as well. But a sudden chill grew, as the blackness within the door started to take shape. The shape, that resembled what appeared to be a black child size bug. With huge green eyes, that looked at it's future prey of four small teens. Then all at once, more spout out of the darkness.
Riku griped the handle of his wooden sword tightly, with a serious look on his face. The white haired boy meant business. "Kairi, get out of here. I'll take care of these things." Riku stated withdrawing his wooden sword pointing it at the creatures. "But what if you.." She couldn't finish. "Have faith Kairi, I'll win. Just get out of here." Kairi shook her hand, she couldn't dare think of leaving Riku alone. "Don't worry Kairi, we'll protect him." Wakka announced. "Yeah run Kairi, we'll take care of all of them." Tidus added pulling out his pole. "Alright, but please be careful." She agreed running towards the small boats. "Thanks guys for helping me with Kairi. Now get going!" Riku said in a low voice to his companions.
"Said what!?" Wakka asked digging into his ear making sure what he heard was correct. "You heard me, I want you guys to escape, I'll take care of them." Tidus gave Riku, a strange look upon hearing this. "Are you crazy!? Your strong, but not that strong!" Tidus shot out. "Look thanks for the offer, but if we were alone. I would accept your help, but we're not." He said eyeing Kairi in the boat about ready to leave. Wakka bowed his head understanding. "We'll take care of her dude." The two boys made their way to the boat with Kairi. Before entering the boat, Tidus quickly looked back at Riku grinning like mad at the brave, yet foolish hero.
The boat slowly made it's way off the island, leaving only Riku, and the helpless Sora watching the island being taking over by these dark shadows. Sora stood in the sky in disbelief, Riku decided to take on these creatures, without the help of Wakka or Tidus, just so they could protect Kairi in the future. Without a moment hesitation, Riku quickly charge at one of them attacking them with a vertical swing. But the attack instantly fell through the shadow like it was nothing. Riku continued attacking, but it proved useless to every creature he came too.
"Stupid boy, you can't harm the heartless. With just a toy sword, only the key blade can." A voice called from the center of the increasing number of the heartless, it was a tall man wrapped in a black robe, his face was covered with a dark hood. All the heartless that surrounded Riku, suddenly leaped upon him, clutching him, making sure he couldn't move, as more continued to pile on. They did anything to make sure he stayed on the bottom of the pile. The more that came onto him, the more strength he lossed trying desperately to knock them loose. But in his mind, if he was destine to lose, he would do it fighting. But with no luck, the heartless pile was too much as it completely engulfed him. Only his hand was left showing, trying to pull out.
"Riku!!" Sora called out soaring straight towards him in a last attempt to save him. But his hand instantly went through Riku's at the mere touch. "No Riku," He called. But it was too late for Riku was no more, a sudden sting filled his chest. Sora's only thought now was that he let the darkness devour his friend.
