Paopu Fruit
Chapter Four
-----
----
---
--
-
The sun shone brightly, glaring through the hole atop the secret cave. Sora's cerulean eyes opened slowly and tiredly,
and he sat up, flexing his stiff body. Shaking the dirt and dust out of his brown mophead, Sora yawned and stretched,
then turned his head, taking in his surroundings. He vaguely recalled a warm, soothing embrace. Rubbing his eyes, he sat
against the rocks that had been doodled on by Kairi and himself. He saw the paopu he once drew there, and fiercely scribbled
it out, along with the profile of the once-sweet Kairi. Sora wondered if it was all just a cover-up, a mask to hide the
inner disgustingness.
With the memory of Kairi came to the remnants of his respect for his mother, which was when he realized what had happened
last night.
But...where was Riku?
Sora stood up, dusted himself off again, and looked around the small cave, every crevace within the stone walls. Finding
no sign of Riku, he began walking down the cave hall until he was engulfed by the bright, burning sun. It took a while for
his eyes to adjust, but when they did, Sora snuck to the small dock. Riku's boat was still there, so he couldn't have left
the island.
"Psst! Sora!" He heard.
Turning his head, searching, he could find no sign of Riku, or anyone, for that matter.
"Under the dock!"
"Oh!" Sora whispered and dove under the dock as Selphie walked by, eyes closed, humming a song that vaguely sounded like
Simple & Clean(by Utada Hikaru ^.~).
There, Riku sat in the cool sand, a bucket by his side, with two fish in it.
Sora then realized how hungry he really was. His stomach growled loudly, though luckily nobody was around to hear. Blushing
as Riku hissed a sharp "shh!", he quietly apologised.
Crouching low, Sora and Riku cautiously ran to the spring, where Riku filled his canteen with water and they ran back into
the cave. They were silent on the way in, which is how they were able to hear the voices inside.
Riku cursed under his breath and heard voices coming from the far end behind them, just around the corner. He grabbed Sora's
hand and ran silently to the opening of the cavern, where Kairi and Selphie sat crouching down, facing the picture that Sora
scribbled out before.
They ran behind a boulder as Wakka and Tidus came in.
"Good, you're here. We have to decide what to do," a voice that was once sweet that made Riku and Sora once smile when they
heard it spoke.
"I think we shouldn't even bother," Selphie said. "Just let them go."
"No," Kairi said. "I have a 'favor' to make up. Riku stole Sora away from me."
"Whaddya mean?" Wakka asked.
"Sora told me he loved Riku."
There were gasps of shock. The only person who didn't gasp was Selphie, who shrugged. "So?"
"So!? That means, not only is he gay, he's in love with an evil...THING!!" Kairi shouted.
"Listen, Kairi, you need to calm down," Tidus said. "It's not that big a deal."
Thank God Selphie and Tidus weren't corrupted.
Sora wished his secret didn't have to be told like this. He buried his face in his hands because he didn't want to see
Riku's face, twisted and warped with disgust.
His hand was tugged, and he looked to see Riku, who signaled for him to be absolutely silent with a gloved finger to his
lips. Sora simply nodded, confused, and obeyed. He peered over the rock, to see all of them facing the other way. Riku
pulled him, and they tiptoed until they were out of the mouth of the cave. They ran to the dock and hopped into Riku's
boat, each grabbing an oar as Riku released the tether that held them to the dock. They began to row with all the strength
they had.
They rowed to the outer island connected to the main by a wooden bridge.
"Wait!" Riku said, and stood up.
"What are you--?" Sora began to ask.
Riku didn't wait for him to finish his sentence, and jumped up. when he landed, the boat shook violently, but fortuneately,
didn't overturn.
"What did you...?"
Riku sat and showed Sora what was in his hand.
"A paopu fruit!?"
Riku smiled, and began to help Sora to row. When they were out of sight of the main land, Sora asked the one question on
his mind.
"Aren't you grossed out?"
"About what?" Riku asked.
"About...me, being...well..." Sora looked down, and probably would have twiddled his fingers had he not been rowing the
boat.
Riku laughed heartilly.
"What's so funny!?" Sora asked angrilly. How could Riku do that? Laugh at him with his horrible predicament.
"Nothing!"
"Then why are you laughing!?"
"Because - because... your face! You looked so serious!!"
"What's wrong with being serious!?"
"You looked like me for a second there..."
Sora waved his hand. "Is my head silver? Are my eyes radio-active? No."
Riku nodded, with a smile still on his face.
"Well?" Sora asked firmly.
"Well what?"
"Are you grossed out?" Sora asked aggravated.
"Of course not, Sora. I'll accept you as you are. Gay or straight."
Sora sighed in relief.
"What, you thought I would be disgusted?"
The brunette nodded.
"No way! I've done far more disgusting things than being homosexual."
"I can't believe I ever doubted you, Riku."
"Yeah, me too. Besides, I do have a promise to keep, right?"
Sora nodded, remembering the oath he forced Riku to make.
"I'll make another promise to ensure that I keep that one, right?"
"You better!" Sora said, joking around with Riku.
"Sora, we have to find one of those transportation points(or, as us gamers know it, the save point). Anywhere would be
better than here."
"You do realize we are running away."
Riku smiled. "I realized that sometimes it's better to run away."
"Rather than meeting the darkness head on?"
Riku nodded.
"Hey, Riku. Why did you grab that paopu fruit?"
His only response was a smile.
