Chapter 8: Memories Return and The Secret Revealed
In the Starlight Gummi, Kairi was waking up from her knock out
state. She moaned a little, having a small headache.
" Is everyone....alright?" she slowly asked.
" Yeah, we were worried about you. After you used your magic,
you fell unconsious. All of us were so worried about you." Ginny said,
smiling her smile.
" Davis? Is he alright?"
" Yup, I'm fine! Better than ever!" Davis said, making the
younger girl sigh in relief.
" I've thought that my magic was not strong enough to restore
people. Guess I was wrong." Kairi smiled.
" Restore people?" Mina asked. " Did something happen that you
might want to explain to us?"
Everyone turned to face Kairi. Kairi gulped. She was obviously
afraid. Rikku asked, " Well?"
" Nope, nothing at all! I'm just saying that I'm able to heal
and restore people." Kairi nervously said, a little sweatdrop forming.
" She's obviously lying, she's showing that she's lying by
that sweatdrop. She's hiding a secret from us." Kiayone said. " Kairi,
please tell us what happened to you and Davis when we were seperated...
unless Ginny has something to say about this as well."
Everyone turned to Ginny. Ginny started to talk.
" Well, after I got lost from you guys again, I went exploring
to find Kairi. I knew Davis wuld protect himself, so I decided to find
Kairi since she was in danger. That's when I entered the Church Chapel.
I saw a huge battle taking place. I couldn't see who it was that was
fighting, so I stayed put. After the battle was over, I ran up the
stairs to see if anyone was hurt." she started to explain.
" Okay, then what?" Mina asked.
" I found Davis with his Keyblade out and Kairi on the ground.
When I asked for a explanation, he said that he had Kairi's heart in
his and-"
" What? That's way too impossible. Nobody can have two hearts,
right?" Rikku asked, interrupting Ginny's explaination. Kiayone hit her
upside the head.
" Quiet!"
" Okay, after he told him, he was going to stab his heart with
Cassidy's Keyblade of Darkness. He left me with his goggles so I can
leave them to Kairi...and then he did it. He unlocked his heart to free
Kairi's heart, and sacrificed his own. I started to cry-"
" Whoa, whoa, whoa! He did WHAT?" Rikku asked again. This time,
Ken and Kiayone just stared at the fourteen year old goggle girl.
" You got to stop asking too many questions, Rikku, or else,
you're going to be confused when she finishes her story." Ken said,
shaking his hand.
" Well, I love to ask questions. Ginny, continue, please?"
" Well, when you came in the room to find us, I didn't want to
be asked too many questions, so Kairi and me hid to stay away from your
view. Then we took off and were caught by Kiayone, who then alerted
everyone else. When we got to the Grand Hall, a Shadow Heartless was
waiting for us. Kairi sensed that the Shadow Heartless had a heart."
Ginny started talking again, then stopped, looking at Rikku.
" Continue." she said, shaking her head.
" Well, Kairi then knew that the Shadow Heartless didn't have
a heart, so this one with a bright heart....came from a human. She
then realized that it was Davis who was the Shadow Heartless with us.
Then we got surrounded by the bad Shadow Heartless. Kairi then decided
to act on a whim. She grabbed Davis and shouted out some spell, but
it caused a lot of light to form and scare the Heartless away. When
you guys came, you saw all three of us, right? Davis was restored as a
human and Kairi, well, was unconsious because she used her light to
restore her friend. That's the whole story."
Mina then turned to Davis and Kairi. " Is this story true?"
Both teens nodded their heads. However, Rikku was uncertain.
She shook her head, sending everyone into uncertainity.
" I still think that there's more to the story than that. I do
know that all my friends tell the truth, but then I could tell if they
told everything or not. Davis and me always told each other secrets and
stories when we were little, and both of us know when the other has
more to tell. I obviously know that there's more because of Davis' face
and emotion on it." Rikku explained, pointing out and smiling.
' Oh, boy...I knew that she would do that. I hung around her
too much, now she knows that there's more to this story than what is
now.' Davis thought to himself. He made a huge sweatdrop.
Rikku caught the look in his eye. She then made the gesture for
'tell me later'. She knew that there was something that he needed to
talk about with her and her alone. She then left the cockpit, probably
to go take a nap.
Kairi just stared at the young girl who just left, then looked
at Davis. " Is there something that I missed here?" she asked.
" No.." the goggle boy replied, blushing.
" Something tells that you're in l-o-v-e with her." the young
Princess of Heart said, smiling and giggling. " Rikku was right, you
do make your thoughts obvious to others."
" Well... I sorta have this relationship with her that lasted
for eight years-" he started, then was interrupted by the Starlight
Gummi stopping to a halt, sending items and people, namely Ginny and
Mina, flying to the ground. Kiayone turned around frantically to face
the goggle boy, who got hit in the head by a flying oil can.
" You... and Rikku actually like each other?" she asked, then
started giggling, causing everyone to stare at her.
" Well, duh, I do have this relationship with her as friends
for eight years. Rikku and me go back a long time, back to the pre
kindergarten years. I can remember the first day that I met her..."
(Flashback)
In Odaiba Elementary, an young six year old girl is being
teased and picked on by a mean bully.
" Give me your lunch money, kid, if you know what's best for
ya." the bully said, picking up the little girl by the back of her
shirt.
" Hey, leave the girl alone, Christopher. She's not going to
give you anything." a young boy wearing square goggles came in view.
" Stay out of this, Motomiya. This girl is going to learn when
to give me her money when I ask for it." Christopher turn to face the
girl, but then noticed that she got away from his grip. He then turned
around to find her behind the boy who distracted him.
" Alright, Motomiya, you're going to get it now that I don't
have her in my grip." Christopher walked towards the two little kids,
but was stopped by the teacher, who sent him inside and put him in the
timeout section.
The girl faced the boy who saved her. " Thank you for saving
me from that mean bully. I'm the new girl in your class. My name is
Rikku Mikima. What's your name? Is Motomiya your name?"
" Nope, my name is Davis Motomiya. Christopher just uses my
last name to get my attention and to annoy me. It was sorta wrong that
he was messing with you. I was the only person who escaped from him
whenever he chose to mess with someone. I'm just glad that you're not
hurt or harmed in any way." the little boy said, smiling.
" Let's be friends. I really don't know my way around the city,
and I could get lost. You know your way around, right?" Rikku asked.
" Alright, I'll be your friend...forever. No way am I ever
going to lose you. You're very special." Davis said, then both kids
took off back into the school.
(End Flashback)
" And that's how we first met. I'm thankful that I saved her
from Christopher. We would have never met each other if it wasn't for
him. I became her friend and for two years, we had adventures, from
finding new areas to just having fun at the beach, building the biggest
of all sandcastles. Then...when we were eight, that wave took her away
from me. I lost nearly all hope of ever seeing her again, but then I
then remember one day that she said. It was just a few days before the
wave hit Odaiba..."
(Flashback)
Both Rikku and Davis were both about eight years old now. They
were walking on the beach. The little Rikku came up with a idea.
" You know, one day, both of us will go on a adventure of our
lifetimes. Together, we will explore new worlds and make new friends.
Wouldn't that be neat?" she said, adjusting her pink goggles.
" That would be cool, but what about our folks?" Davis asked,
obviously worried about his family.
" Don't worry, we'll come back to them one day after we explore
the worlds. It would be cool to fly in a new rocket. We'll be the first
kids to explore the world and live to tell about it! Right?"
The little boy smiled. " Right, Rikku, we go together as best
friends and explore the new worlds and make new friends. That would be
the day that we will find our real destinies."
Both kids then took off running, laughing and giggling, knowing
that there were new dreams and hopes awaiting them.
(End Flashback)
" Rikku dreamed that one day, and a few days after that, the
wave came and granted her wish, but it forgot me, so I waited for the
day that Rikku would come back for me. I waited and waited, never
giving up on her to return. Then I went to the Digiworld when I was
needed for that year. My wish came true to visit an new world, but I
felt guilty." the young goggle boy explained.
" Why did you feel guilty? Was it because Rikku wasn't there
and earlier in your life, you said that both of you would go together,
right?" Kairi asked. Davis nodded.
" So, after the whole Digiworld crisis, I resumed waiting for
Rikku to return. I never gave up on her. Then she finally returned to
Odaiba and kept her promise. And that's why I like her now. She's grown
a lot stronger and still has the pure heart that I saw a long time ago.
I don't want to lose her ever again. Rikku's my childhood pal and I'll
do anything to help her."
" (sniffle) I love true friendship stories. One won't give up
on the other (sniffle) and now they love each other!" Mina sniffled,
crying on Ginny's shoulder. Ginny just sweatdropped.
" Why not you go tell her that you love her now? That way, both
her heart and yours can finally be bonded together after so long of
waiting for each other?" Kiayone asked, now driving again.
" She's asleep now. I'll tell her when I'm good and ready. And
I don't want any of you to say anything about this to Rikku! It's an
surprise for her." Davis said, warning everyone not to tell Rikku about
the conversation that he just had with them.
Everyone agreed to their part. No telling Rikku what so ever
about their conversation.
*~*~*~*~*~
A hour passed by and they were finally back at Traverse Town.
Once everyone got off, they decided to restock on items and get new
equipment (Mina's shield was damaged to the point where it broke and
Kiayone's staff broke in half). Rikku, Davis, and Kairi stayed behind
for Rikku fixed their weapons while in her room in the Starlight Gummi.
" Thanks, Rikku. I don't know what I have done if my staff
really did break!" Kairi smiled, jumping up and down. The two older
teens just laughed. It was better to have everyone smiling.
" Oh, before I forget, I want to give this to you, Davis. I
found this in my pocket. It's a key chain for your Keyblade. I call it
the Oathkeeper key chain. I don't have any use for this, then I thought
of you when you saved me from Cassidy, so I'm giving this to you for
a token of kindness." Kairi said, pulling a star shaped keychain.
Davis then attached the new keychain to his Keyblade. After
a few seconds, the Friendship Keyblade transformed into the Oathkeeper
Keyblade. All three stared at the Keyblade in front of them.
" Wow, this is the prettiest Keyblade that I ever seen!" Kairi
said. " I bet that this Keyblade is more powerful than the Friendship
Keyblade in both magic and physical attacks!"
" Well, when we face Cassidy again, I'll kick her around for
messing with my friends!" Davis exclaimed, jumping up on his seat on
the fountain and lifting the Keyblade in the air. Rikku rolled her blue
and green eyes.
' He's still the same Davis I knew when I was a little girl.
He always makes a big statement like that, but always ends up falling
into the fountain back home.' she thought to herself. She then saw the
goggle boy fall into the fountain after slipping on some water.
" I'm okay!" he said after sitting up, all drenched. Rikku and
Kairi couldn't keep their giggles in and started giggling. Both girls
helped him out of the lake and warmed him up a towel Kairi had.
" You okay?" Kairi asked.
" I'm fine, I usually slipped on the fountain back at home.
Rikku would giggle, then helped me out of the drink. It was funny when
I fell. Rikku would always laugh and I start laughing when I saw her
face." Davis explained his antics back at Odaiba when he and Rikku were
just little kids.
Kairi then said, " I'm going inside to get some food. I'm
hungry. I'll be with the others, okay?" She then took off to get the
food for herself and her friends, leaving the two teens by themselves.
Ten minutes and a Fire spell later, Davis was completely dry
and Rikku was sitting up on a branch of a tree, looking at the stars,
which seemed to be disappearing one by one.
' She looks concerned about something. I better find out.'
he thought to himself. He climbed the tree and sat near Rikku. " What's
bothering you, Rikku?"
" All these stars... they're disappearing more and more each
day. I'm worried. Will our home also be destroyed by the Heartless?"
she responded. She was actually worried about what would happen if they
lost the battle with Cassidy.
" Don't worry, Rikku, we'll keep Cassidy from winning this
fight. We'll win, I promise."
" And what would become of us after we defeat Cassidy? Will we
ever see Odaiba again? Will we even live to see that day?"
Davis sat closer to his friend. " I'll protect you and everyone
else, no matter what happens to the worlds, whetever we win or lose,
we'll always stick together. We're best friends, right?" he asked.
" Of course you are, Davis. Why do you ask about our friendship
relationship? Is there something that you really need to tell me?"
the young goggle girl asked, blushing.
Davis then grabbed her hand, grasping the young girl's hand.
" I really need to say this that..." he started, then started
to choke on his words. " That... I..."
' Why can't I say it?' he thought to himself. He mentally
slapped himself. " I..." A huge sweatdrop formed. He shook his head
and tried to remember the two other words he was going to say.
Rikku then realized that he was trying to say 'I love you',
but couldn't because he was afraid that she'll say no, then his heart
would be broken. A small stone then came flying out of nowhere and
hit the poor goggle boy upside the head. That did the trick.
" I love you!" he said loudly, then clutched his head in pain.
Rikku just smiled and laughed at how this all ended.
" I love you, too. Now let's get down from this tree before
any more flying stones try to hit you." Rikku giggled, then both teens
climbed down the tree and sat back down on solid ground. After that,
they gave each other a small kiss on the cheek.
Behind the tree where Rikku and Davis were sitting at, a very
familiar person was throwing up and down a small stone.
" It just takes one stone to make a person say the three most
important words of anyone's lives." Kiayone said, smiling.
The others just sighed and shook their heads.
