Author's Note: I just started this story on a whim, so don't be upset with me if it sucks!
Disclaimer: Winter: "She has permission to use my characters! After all, she helped me with my story. Hehe!"
Meilin: "I don't own any part of Kingdom Hearts! Oh, if you would actually like to understand this better, you can read Winter's Kingdom Hearts fic! Oh, and one more thing ... If you see ~ and then words, that means the person is thinking that. It ends with another ~."

The boy ran down the hall of the place that he had known as home for sixteen years. He smiled as he rounded a corner and bumped into his friend. "What's up chick?" he asked nonchalantly.
The girl smiled at him. "Nothin'. What about you?" She was beading a necklace, a small hobby that she had picked up lately.
"I'm just running around the house looking for something to do. Got any plans for this afternoon, other than spending time with Aunt Kairi?" He sighed as he brushed away his whitish-blue hair. His aquamarine eyes glistened in the sunlight that was drifting in from the sole kitchen window.
"Laiktu? What's going on in your little mind?" The young girl, also sixteen, flipped her wild brown hair over her shoulders. "I can never tell when you get that look in your eyes." She sighed when he didn't respond and went back to her jewelry.
"Kioko, do you remember when we were taken from this island?" Laiktu's question came as a shock to Kioko, and he realized it quickly by the tensing of her shoulders.
"Of course I remember. How could I not?" Kioko's voice was cold, and Laiktu didn't like the tone that she was using. It reminded him of his mother.
Laiktu sighed. "Nevermind. I shouldn't have brought it up." He looked down at the floor and shuffled his feet. His voice had been repressed, like that of a scolded child. Laiktu moved toward the door, bringing his head up so that he could see in front of him. He was about to open the front door when he heard his mother.
"Laiktu? Where are you going?" Her voice held no concern; it held no emotion at all. When Laiktu didn't answer for a few moments, his mother came down the stairs to make sure that he hadn't left the house without her permission. "Laiktu?" she asked, angry. "Why didn't you answer me?"
Laiktu looked at her with his aquamarine eyes. This time, they held no glimmer. They were cold and unresponsive. "Why do you still treat me like a child, mother? I'm not!" Laiktu ignored his mother's stammering and ran out the front door, leaving her with Kioko.
Kioko looked down at her beads and tried to look busy. "Kioko." The voice from behind her made Kioko drop one of her beads.
"Yes, Aunt Kaze?" She retrieved the fallen bead and turned around in her chair to look at Laiktu's mother. "Is there something that you wish to ask me?" she asked sweetly. Kioko was the silent one. She was the one that always obeyed the rules and never questioned authority. Sometimes, she wished that Laiktu was more like her; yet, sometimes she wished that she were more like Laiktu.
"What is wrong with him? Do you know?" Kaze didn't wait for a response. "Nevermind. Must be hormones." Kaze walked into the kitchen and sat down next to Kioko, who had redirected her attention to her beads. "Kioko, will you go look for him? He trusts you right now a lot more than me."
Kioko smiled at Kaze. "Of course." She put her beads away and rose from the table. "Anything to get out of this house. It's awful hot in here, you know?" Kioko didn't wait for Kaze to respond; she knew that she wouldn't. Kioko walked out of the house and took in a breath of fresh air. "Thank goodness I'm away from her," she muttered to herself.
-
Laiktu stopped running when he reached the pool near the secret place. He took off his shoes and sat down next to it, allowing his feet to drift in the cool water. ~I don't know what's wrong with me! Why can't I just talk to her about it? Dammit. This sucks.~ He heard someone approaching, but didn't move. He waited until he knew that the person was right behind him and then swung his legs up and around his body, tripping whoever was behind him.
Kioko grumbled as she hit the ground. "Laiktu, what have I told you about doing that to people? You never know who it is behind you! It could have been your mother." Kioko got up and dusted herself off, only to sit down and mimick Laiktu's actions. She took her shoes off and allowed her feet to soak in the water of the pool. "You know, it's great that this pool is still here. It was here even when we were little kids, you know?"
Laiktu growled. "Can't you ever just be quiet, Kioko? Don't you think that other people would like to talk, too?" Laiktu asked. He heard Kioko squeak as she quietened herself and then smiled. "See. That's much better. It's nice and quiet." Laiktu took off his shirt and pulled his legs out of the water.
Kioko gasped. ~Control yourself. He's just a guy with no shirt. Don't laugh. Don't laugh.~ She watched as Laiktu stuck his head under the water to replace his feet. Before she could escape, Laiktu had brought his head back up and shaken the water from his hair all over Kioko. "Laiktu!" Kioko yelled. She couldn't help but laugh now.
"That's what you get for not being quiet!" Laiktu teased. Kioko growled at him and pushed him into the pool. He grabbed her arm and pulled her in with him. For some reason, these antics had not grown old for him. "There. Now we're even. You're wet, and so am I."
Kioko smiled, though she didn't want to, and dunked Laiktu's head under the water before getting out of the pool. "No, Laiktu. Now, we're even." She took off in the direction of the beach when Laiktu got out of the pool, playfully looking angry.
-
Kaze was sitting at the kitchen table when Kairi came in. She had been upstairs showering, so it was most likely that she didn't hear the argument that Kaze had shared with her sixteen-year-old son.
Kairi smiled at Kaze and let the towel fall off of her head, revealing her now long red hair. She looked Kaze over for a few moments before detecting that something was wrong. Kaze held her hand up. "Don't ... ask. You know good and well what happened, even if you were in the shower. It's the same thing every time, Kairi." Kaze stood up and placed her empty cup in the sink. "You know, if it wasn't for hot coconut milk, I probably wouldn't be here today. That stuff calms me down."
Kairi was about to say something to her, but Kaze walked out of the room. ~I swear. That woman is getting stranger and stranger.~ "Sora! When are you coming down?!" Kairi called upstairs.
-
In Kairi's room, the bed was still occupied. Sora was sleeping peacefully ... that is, until Kairi called for him. Sora shot up and out from under the covers. He reached for the Oathkeeper, but didn't find it near his bedside. His eyes shot open and he scanned the room. His heart was beating quickly, and to him, he felt numb. When he caught sight of it on the other side of the room, he allowed himself to calm down. ~I was actually scared there for a minute ... but I keep forgetting ... only a Keyblade master can wield a Keyblade.~ Sora smiled as he jumped out of bed and grabbed his baggy red coveralls, which had been made into shorts. After putting his belt and necklace on, he grabbed the short-sleeved black and white jacket and slipped it on as well. For a final touch to his outfit, Sora grabbed the chain and hooked it to his front and back pockets.
As he was on his way downstairs, Sora remembered that he didn't have shoes on. He ran back into the bedroom and slipped on his yellow sneakers. "There. Now, I look just the same as always." Sora ran a hand through his hair. He never bothered to brush it; no matter what he did, it remained untamed, much like his daughter's.
When he got downstairs, Kairi had breakfast waiting. "There you go, Sora. Now eat up. We have a long day ahead of us." Kairi sipped her coconut milk and watched Sora eat quickly. She stood when she had finished and placed her cup in the sink beside Kaze's. She caught Sora looking at her and blushed. "What is it, Sora?" She looked down at her white and black sleeveless top that was outlined in purple. "Do I have something on my clothes?" She brushed away a few stray crumbs off of her purple skirt that were left from her breakfast. "What?" She laughed impishly when Sora still didn't reply.
Sora finally smiled and replied, "I just look at you sometimes, Kairi. Maybe I like the way that you look." He got up and put his plate in the sink. As he did, he kissed Kairi. "Thanks for breakfast, love."
-
Riku opened his eyes and yawned. He sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "Hey, Kaze?" he asked to the room around him. He received no response. "Eh, nothing new." Riku got out of the bed and walked across the room to the closet. He grabbed a pair of jeans and his baggy blue slip overs, which clipped to his belt by straps. He adorned these clothes quickly before slipping on one of his tight black and yellow, sleveless shirts. He then slipped on his blue and white sneakers and walked out of the room. On his way out, he bumped into Kaze.
"Riku!" Kaze said in an annoyed voice. "Can't you watch where you're going?" She pushed her way past him, but didn't get far. Riku had grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "What do you want, Riku?" Kaze asked, still annoyed.
Riku didn't respond, but kissed her gently on the lips. He was about to stop, but Kaze was kissing him back. He pulled away for a moment and stepped back into the room, closing the door behind him. "Sit down, Kaze," he said gently. She sat on the bed. "You know, you could lose the attitude. It doesn't fit you anymore. You're a good mother." He studied her for a moment. "That's what this is about, right?" Kaze nodded in response. "Look, I know that you don't like this. You don't like being afraid, and you don't like admitting it. Kaze, you have to just accept that he's not a little boy anymore. You can't keep beating yourself up about Laiktu. He's going to be rebellious. He is your and my child. That's pretty rebellious. It's in his blood. He can't help it."
Kaze held up her hand. "Riku. Stop. I know all of this. You've told me a million times. But I can't shake a bad feeling that he is going to come back and take him from me. You know how bad it is down there ... in the dark ... I hate it, and I hate him. I'm not afraid; I know this is going to happen. I just don't know when." Kaze buried her head into Riku's chest.
"I know, Kaze, but ... listen, things aren't going to get any better than they are right now, so why don't you just relax? If something happens, then we're ready for it. Other than that fact, I can't offer you any assurance. That's all I can give, and that has to be enough." Riku held Kaze's head up by lifting her chin. "It's going to be fine, Kaze. Trust me."
-
Laiktu caught up with Kioko at the water's edge. "You've gotten slower over the years, Laiktu! I can out-run you!" Kioko laughed as she plopped down at the water's edge. "Sit with me. We haven't done this in years! I'm actually getting tired." Kioko's light yellow shorts and green sleeveless top were soaked. She still wore the outfit quite often. It was a gift from Yuffie.
Laiktu chose ... different clothing. He dressed a little more like Squall. His cut-off shorts were black, and he wore a tee shirt with the sleeves cut off. His sneakers were black, and he chose a chain that was much like Sora's; it clipped to his front and back belt loops. Without the tee-shirt, Kioko thought that he looked more and more like Riku every day.
"Kioko, what are you looking at?" Laiktu tried to follow her gaze, but it only led out into the horizon. "Hello? Earth to Kioko." He waved his hand in front of her face. "What's wrong with you?" Laiktu smiled when she refocused her gaze to him. "What's up?"
Kioko smiled. "It's nothing. I was just thinking. You know, Laiktu ... I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's not that I'm mad at you for asking. I'm just kind of upset about ... well, lately, I've been having these dreams." She seemed to fade away slowly, as if she was going into her own world. "I dreamt that he came back ... Laiktu, I'm scared that he's going to come back."
Laiktu looked at Kioko, and his face hardened. "He won't Kioko. I promise you that. And if he does, by some miracle, I'll kick his sorry ass. You won't have to worry about that." Laiktu took the now sobbing Kioko into his arms. He gently stroked her wild brown hair, and then held her tighter. "I'll protect you, Kioko."
-
Riku was about to release Kaze when he felt her shudder with tears. It was so unlike Kaze to show any emotion, and Riku couldn't look at her for fear that he may embarass her. Riku began to stroke Kaze's white hair and then kissed the top of her head. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes and red streaks on her face. "Will you give me a few minutes, please?" Kaze released Riku and sat back against the headboard.
Riku nodded and walked out of the room, headed for the kitchen to get something to eat. He walked in on Sora and Kairi's 'moment' and immediately apologized, though it sounded as though he didn't mean it. "Sorry. Didn't mean to walk in on you two kissing in the public kitchen." He brushed past them and smiled to himself. It seemed so ... evil of him to be mean to them, but after all, he had been evil at one time.
Sora grumbled, "No problem, ass." He walked out of the kitchen, leaving Kairi to handle the awkward moment.
Kairi sighed. "Why do you two have to be so mean to one another? You know, you're supposed to be best friends, like before the island was overcome with Heartless the first time. Why can't you act like it?" She was about to turn back to the dishes that she began to wash when she heard a cup shatter against the wall.
"What in the hell is your problem?!" Riku yelled. He slammed his fist down on the bamboo table, which shattered under his strength. "I told you all before ... I do not want to hear about the fucking heartless! That's over! Is this your fault? Are you the one that's putting these ideas into Kaze's head? Is it you? Because if it is, I swear, I'll kill you!" Riku jumped out of his chair and ran over to Kairi. He slapped her in the face without thinking.
Kairi fell to the ground from the force of Riku's slap. She hit hard on the floor and grimaced from the pain. Before she could get up, someone had come to her defense. She looked up to see Riku fall beside her. He groaned and jumped back up, ready to fight back.
