Topazia: Merry Christmas Everyone! Hope you're well? Better than me
hopefully. This chapter had to be cut short because I still have a hang
over from three cups of Flu medicine...@_@'
CLOud - Dude! Why would I be mad at you? I wuv you guys! Lol! I'm not offended easily and besides, all opinions are welcome. Oh, and Wakka for some reason seemed like a person that wouldn't have a problem with it so I picked him. Hope no one else was too out of character.
Komikitty - Go bunnykins! Lol. I guess it was kinda mean for Tidus to beat up on Sora. But don't worry, I'll make sure Sora gets him back right before the happy ending. ^^
Princess of Mirrors - Dude! You're heard Riku sing! I wanna hear! Must find song.must find song... Lol! Funny joke by the way for some reason Selphie annoys me to no end. Ah well!
Sora Otaku - ^^ murder is not the answer, besides. It's a good suggestion! ^^
MoonGoddessKonoko - Yay! Thank you for trying to take care of me when I got sick dee-chan! *huggles* Love ya to pieces. ^^
Xiao - People can be cruel but why should it matter? I actually like Wakka, I can never afford final fantasy games (Nuu!! ) so I don't really know much about him. Except that his voice was annoying after he beat Sora in a match, but other than that he seemed pretty cool.
TRT14 - Yeah...there's a little gay guy that ride my bus and I feel sorry for him. He's beaten by girls because they're 'trying to lead him down the right path' and threatened by boys because they want nothing to do with him. People are so mean! Anyway, you're very lucky to not have had writer's block. It really sucks. Lol. And thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking about Sending Kairi with them. ^^
linainverse2005 - Yeah...that is true. But there are a lot of good people out there that accept people for who they are, sometimes you just have to know were to look. ^^
me - So, make them suffer more before opening the door? Will do and Kairi can help too. ^^
Kyari - aw! I'll take them off, the only thing to now is figure out were to put them. Decisions...Lol
fantasymichelle14 - Hm...at first I was going to put everyone against Riku and Sora but seeing everyone's reactions to Wakka being nice I guess I did a good job, ya? Lol.
*~*~*~*~
Sora's POV
I stared at the wall silently watching the shadows that played against the wall. Riku had brought me back to his room and laid me down, occasionally whispering words of comfort in my ears. Not that it mattered.
My mind was slowly sinking into that dark, distant corner of my mind, a corner that I often try to avoid. In this corner all my dark thoughts and wishes are born.
And it's all Kairi's fault. I hate her...I really do. Well at least I think I do. In this state I'll hate just about anything. Why did people have to be so cruel? It's not like we've raped anyone. I guess they'll come after us with pitchforks and knives next screaming 'witch! Witch!'. I wouldn't put it past them.
I could feel Riku shift against me a little, his grip tightening around my waist. Poor guy, he had been so intent to sty up and watch over me until I fell asleep. He didn't make it can you tell? The sheer cuteness of it all was overwhelming, no really it was. He clung to me like a child does a teddy bear. This is a definitely a 'aw' moment.
Before he drifted off to sleep he made me a promise, that we'd make it off the island together. Of course he thought I was asleep so the promise was more to himself then to me...but work with me, okay? I couldn't be more thrilled and yet...so terrified at the same time.
What would the other world be like? Would there be people there that shunned us like Tidus? Would we fit in? So many things to worry about but then again, why was I worried? We could get stuck on another island for all I care. As long as Riku was stuck with me, I was in heaven.
Of course being stuck on another island would only piss Riku off to the extreme so I pray that whatever deity that just so happen to have enough free time to listen to my pathetic 'I'll follow him to the end of the world!' speech didn't take that last statement too seriously.
Yesterday was a blur to me the most vivid thing I could recall of that day was the fight, how Riku came rushing to my aid. The look on his face was so unforgettable. It held a mixture of things that I couldn't place. Anger was a course one of them, but maybe in that moment I might have seen sadness and maybe even a little determination.
It was nice to have him fight for me, it really made me feel special but kinda weak at the same time. I could fight my own battles! I'm getting stronger; after all I knocked Riku down one day. That last little comment did manage to boast my little ego but almost instantly after the comment was made it shrunk again. Riku was distracted that day...damn it!
And Wakka was helping me too that day wasn't he? Now that I think about it, I never really took the time to get to know the boy. He was cooler than expected. Better than the other jackasses that I'm forced to live with. Oh great, now I'm pissed off and depressed. Way to go Sora!
Grumbling softly to myself I slowly turned over and rested my head against Riku's chest. Fuck everybody I just wanted to be held. So what if I liked being cuddled! Was I being too babyish? Maybe...but who asked for your opinion? Okay, so I'm depressed, pissed off, and grumpy.
Since when was that a good combination? And since when that there a difference between being pissed off and grumpy? Ah! My head was starting to hurt. Damn it all. I heard a soft chuckle, stiffening suddenly when I felt Riku playing in my hair. "You haven't slept all night. Go to bed." He cooed and I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. The bastard...he stayed up after all...and you think you know a person.
"Don't scare me like that!" I pouted, receiving another chuckle in return.
"Why you got nothing to fear? You have the sexist person alive holding you, what more could you want?" he whispered.
Although this was very true I had to resist the urge of taking a fall out of the bed. I swear his head was getting bigger by the day and here I was laying in his arms with an ego the size of the titanic smothering me! "Conceited bastard." I hissed.
He bent his head slightly to kiss me on my forehead. "You know you love me."
"True..."
*~*~*~*~
Riku's POV
The first traces of light hadn't even begin to show when I snuck into the cave, out secret place. When really ought to give the place a name, calling it a secret after so long seems so wrong.
I was here for a reason and a damn good one, so don't worry I'm not wasting your time. There was something about this old place that drew me to it, something mysterious.
My eyes wandered over to the old door at the back of the cave. It's been there since for as long as I can remember but I've never really known its purpose. Even as young children there was something fascinating about the door.
'It's right over there I saw it.'
'There's nothing here, you were just seeing things.'
Walking over to it I ran my gloved fingers across the smooth wood, tapped on it lightly, anything to give me a clue. It seemed hopeless and extremely stupid that I was relying on a damn door practically glued to a fucking wall for an escape.
'Sora, when we grow up...let's go on real adventures! Not this kid stuff...'
Adventures indeed if I could ever figure out how to get out of here, a raft could only bring us so far...and this abomination of a door had to hold something. I could sense it. If only I could get it open. There was something hidden here.
I can be pretty damn stubborn if I want to so if I want to get a certain door open it will be done. I shot a glare at my object of 'affection' as if expecting it to comply then sighed. "We'd be better off building a raft." I grumbled softly.
I shook my head almost instantly, an image of a seasick Sora losing all over the side of the raft as a nice wave of cold water slapped him dead in the face. It was actually pretty funny when you thought about it, well to me at least.
A soft growl escaping my lips I admitted defeat, sinking down to the ground with my back to the door. My eyes trailed up to the ceiling of the cave were the light from the stars shone through.
'I hate this place. Hate it so much...if...if...you do find a way out of here please. Take me with you.'
Maybe it was hopeless. Maybe we'd never get off the island and maybe we'd be stuck here for the rest of our lives until I finally snap and in a mad thirst for blood just kill everybody. Lovely Riku now you're really going crazy. Not only do you talk to voices in your head but you're going psycho too!
Something seemed to catch my eye amongst the reddening sky. Shooting stars. At first there was a few, but within minuets my falling stars had turned into a meteor shower. It was beautiful and I wished Sora were here to see it with me.
Maybe someday he will, see another meteor shower with me that is. On someplace far away were no one knows us...were we can't be judged by our actions.
*~*~*~
Topazia: the next chapter will be longer, I promise! I really could focus to write this one. I have one of those moms that when you get sick she drugs you with everything in the medicine cabinet. Ah well! As for those of you waiting for a nice fluffy ending don't worry. I want that too and it's coming. ^^
