Moonlight spilled over the sand turning it into silver gains of
light. The soft sigh og the ocean spilled the air with it's breath of salty
vapors as Sora looked out into the black ocean around him. The silver glow
caught his face just in a way that it gave him a heavenly glow but his blue
eyes remained fixed on the quavering light on the smooth black surface.
As he gazed, leaned back on his hands and feet dangling off the rocks, some muffled footsteps approached from behind him. The footsteps scratched the silent air as the sand moaned in pain from the weight of the presence. Sora turned his head to the right to see a dark figure striding from the darkness but he didn't feel any threat.
Kairi was the only thing that rolled off his tongue at that moment as his stomach began to filter out acid and became filled with butterflies. Each wing of the butterflies seemed to touch the inside of his stomach setting off a tingly sensation of excitement. Imagaes of them together flashed in his mind but the figure was not supporting the images. It was Riku. . .
Darkness slashed his stern face so only his menacing eyes stood out. The moonlight fled from his face at times as he shifted his stance to look Sora directly in the eyes. In his hand a large blade tipped with light was pointed at his heart, right where his heart was but he let it fall to his side.
Sora opened his lips to say something but only received Riku's mouth on his, his tongue twisted inside his like a snake in search of it's prey. Sora's eyes opened in horror as his mouth tried to close off the only connection between them but Riku only forced himself in his mouth more, lemon tasting saliva overflowing and trickling down his throat.
"AHHH!!!" Sora wailed sitting up breathing hard and looking around him. The sun had dried most of his cold sweat but the ocean already had replaced the sweat with a salty film. It licked at his shoes with white foam that only reminded Sora of Riku's saliva so that he moved further up away from it. The sunset splashed warm red light on him and he lifted his face to it and smiled, "Just a nightmare. . ."
"Having a nightmare Sora?" Riku asked from above him. He was standing behind Sora laughing at his reaction.
"HUH! Oh. . . yeah. . ." Sora admitted sliding away.
"Dark creatures come and kill you this time too?"
"Huh?"
"Those dark creatures your always talking about, the ones that hide in the shadows or whatever." Riku remembered extending his hand down to Sora to help him up. Sora took his hand and got back to his feet.
"Not this time." Sora replied brushing the sand off.
Riku shook his head, "Too bad you missed Kairi and I trying to get a helpless bird back in its nest. She practically killed me when she stepped on my face to get a boost up to the tree!"
"Oh. . ."
"Yeah had to hold her by her waist to get back down but her shirt didn't. stay. . ." Riku explained but stopped seeing Sora's sullen face. "Oh forget it, it was just fun."
"Yeah. . . sounds great." Sora lied. His stare had drifted to Riku's shoes.
"Aw come on Sora, every time I talk about Kairi you get all depressed! She's just a girl, get over it. You know as I recall we were so much closer when Kairi was not around."
Sora stayed silent staring at Riku, his hair softly blowing in the wind and his eyes fixed right back at him. Even if they had vowed to be everlasting friends, there was always some untold hatred between them.
"Well the sunset is almost ready to happen." Riku observed turning his face to the burning sky so that it gave him splatters of red light that danced across his face. "I promised Kairi I would do something with her at sunset."
"What about. . . ?" Sora started slowly.
"Sora I couldn't find you so I didn't invite you. Besides I never get Kairi to myself anymore."
"Oh. . .but what about this afternoon? While I was here you. . ."
"Sora I just didn't say you could come, maybe next time." Riku cut him off as he sprinted for the little bamboo shack that lead to the little rocky piece of land.
Sora watched him run off and turned his gaze to Kairi's figure cut out like a paper doll from the now soft red sky. The sun was just above her head giving her all the source of light and fading her body into darkness, concentrating all her light into the sun. Sora's mouth crunched up to a smile and sighed but then he realized he was alone for the night.
Just at that moment Riku appeared from the shack, his figure still having splatters of red from Kairi's fading light. In his extended arm he held a shadowy object with extended triangles from the center and a floppy leaf like extension from one. Kairi turned and Riku hid it behind his back, slipping it into his back pocket just as his body disappeared into darkness of the night. Only Kairi's body still was cut out from the sky and Sora could feel she was smiling. . .at Riku. . .not suspecting what he was after. . .
