Crystal Tears

A/N: OK, people. This is chappie 2 to my sequel! Yay! ^_^. This chappie will have more to it (ex.dialog). I know I said she doesn't talk to anyone, but that will change later. I may use some The Lord of the Rings quotes in the next chappie, I can't help it. I saw the third movie last night, so it kinda stuck (the Return of the King ruled! I love Orlando Bloom!!! ^_^). Without further ado, here's chappie 2! (Hey! That rhymed!)
Disclaimer: *sigh* Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't own KH, so please don't sue!!!! ^_^
Ch.2: Long Lost Words
*~*~*
Kairi's eyelids fluttered and slowly opened to reveal sky blue eyes. Her bright eyes surveyed a small bedroom that was very cluttered (like mine! ^_^). Kairi suddenly sat bolt upright, a look of panic on her face. 'How did I get here? I was on the beach last night . . .this isn't my bedroom . . .' she thought, looking more closely around the room. Sunlight was streaming through a tiny window high on the far wall.
Kairi stood up from the bed and examined herself; she was still wearing her clothes from last night. 'I don't remember leaving the beach last night. . .' she thought strangely. Indeed, the last thing she remembered was looking out to sea calmly, waiting. Nothing seemed clear after that. Just then, the bedroom door slowly opened and Riku came in, carrying a glass of orange juice (mmm!!^_^).
"Oh, I see you're awake. Good morning, Kairi," he said to her, setting the glass don on a cluttered nightstand.
"Yes . . .you don't have to ask, I brought you back to my house last night. I found you sleeping on the beach," he said smiling. Kairi walked over to the nightstand beside Riku, and picked up the glass.
"I wish you would speak, Kairi. And to me, not the ocean. Why don't you ever talk? What is wrong with you?" Riku asked her, looking her square in the eye while she took a sip of orange juice.
Kairi returned his look, but didn't respond. Riku got a look of defeat on his face now, and dropped the subject.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked her, unsure of a topic. Kairi shook her head violently, sending her long, red hair flying everywhere. She had had the worst nightmare she ever encountered. It was making her relive the death of Sora over and over again.
"That's too bad. Well, come downstairs when you're ready," Riku said, and turned to leave the bedroom. For a moment, Kairi stood still, holding her glass in her hand, unsure of what to do.
Riku, by now, was slightly used to Kairi being silent around people. He still got that burning desire to shake her out of his frustration. Sometimes it really hurt him to see Kairi in such a state, and he even was more kind towards her now. Riku still worries, however, that maybe she'll never get out of this depression. He is sad, too, for the death of Sora, but at least he moved on.
Christmas day was arriving in two days to Destiny Islands, and Kairi didn't take notice. Riku, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie, on the other hand, were busily preparing for parties and dinners. People everywhere were running to malls, buying this and that for everybody they knew. Everybody, except Kairi.
Kairi shrugged her shoulders and strolled over to the bedroom door to leave. Only, when she opened the door, Selphie's face was right in her's.
Kairi jumped back and stifled a yelp. Selphie looked shocked too, apparently not expecting to see Kairi when she opened the door.
"Hi, Kai! Sorry for scaring the hell out of ya," she said apologetically. Kairi loosened up a little and fixed her gaze on the plate of toast Selphie was carrying. "I brought you some toast. Are you hungry?"
Kairi nodded her head vigorously; she almost had forgotten how hungry she was. Kairi walked over to Selphie and took the plate away from her hands.
"Well, I'm glad to see you're OK. I'm gonna go now, bye!" she said and left the room smiling.
*~*~*
The north wind blew hard against the tiny islands, showing no mercy. A young woman sat on the edge of one of the many cliffs, feet dangling over the edge, staring out to sea.
"Kairi!" a loud voice rang out, being slightly drowned in the fearce wind. Kairi turned her head to see an anxious Selphie come running towards her on the edge of the cliff, fighting against the wind.
The young woman stopped to catch her breath before continuing. "I'm having a Christmas party at my house tonight, can ya come?"
Kairi had absolutly no other plans for the rest of the holidays. She nodded her head excitedly.
"Awesome! It's at 7:00, see ya then!" and Selphie ran off, light red hair blowing in the strong wind.
'I'm sure it will be fun . . .' Kairi thought, returning her gaze back to the ocean, which was being tossed in the wind. 'I should have a little fun . . .'
*~*~*
At the party . . .
"Egg nog! Who wants this friggin egg nog?!" Tidus was yelling through the crowd of people, holding up a glass of the liquid.
"Why don't you chug it? I dare ya!" Wakka challenged to Tidus. Tidus gave the foamy drink a look of disgust.
"It makes me gag . . .you drink it!" Tidus declared, shoving the egg nog under Wakka's nose.
"No!" Wakka protested, pushing the glass away.
"Oh, just give it to me!" Selphie said impatiently to the boys, grabbing the glass. The two of them cringed as Selphie chugged the egg nog thirstily.
Kairi was sitting on the couch, watching the people near her dance and talk merrily while Christmas music played in the backround. She saw Tidus's gaze keep lingering absent-mindedly on Selphie's legs and Wakka smack his friend upside the head when he did this. Kairi knew she should join in some of the fun; she loved to dance-but her legs felt like lead.
"Hi, Kairi. Having fun?"
Kairi jumped at this interruption of her thoughts and looked for the source of the voice. Riku was standing a few feet away from her and was smiling the most she had ever seen him do.
She didn't acknowledge his question; she wasn't having fun, but she did enjoy being there.
"Do you wanna dance?" Riku asked as the song change to The Christmas Song. It was a nice, slow song, just what Riku wanted.
Kairi nodded her head and grasped the outstretched hand of Riku's to pull her out of her seat. The two walked off into the crowd. Riku placed his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Kairi lay her arms around his neck and they slowly rocked back and forth (I don't know why people call that dancing . . .it's just rocking back and forth!!!) to the sound of the music.
Riku stared deep into Kairi's crystal eyes with his stunning aquamarine orbs. Kairi returned his gaze, and soon felt lost in his eyes. She felt almost peaceful, happy and content wrapped tightly in Riku's strong arms. She loved how close their faces were while they danced. Kairi wanted to almost snuggle up in his warm embrace and fall asleep with not a care in the world.
The song slowly faded and ended. Riku continued to hold Kairi close when the next song started, he didn't want to let her go. The next song that played was All I Want for Christmas Is You.
As the song played on, Kairi's eyes slowly brimmed with tears; this song reminded her so much of Sora . . .
But her last thoughts were drowned out as her head started spinning. She suddenly felt dizzy and faint, her vision was blurring the gorgeous face of Riku in front of her.
Riku noticed the sudden colour change in Kairi's complexion and got a look of panic on his face.
"Kairi? Kairi!" he yelled to the girl who now fell limply in his arms in a faint. He caught her before she hit the floor and gently laid her down.
"Somebody get help, quick!" he called out into the crowd. Tidus ran upstairs to call an ambulance. Riku looked fearfully down on Kairi's pale face.
*~*~*
In Kairi's Blackout . . .
'Where am I?' the girl thought in the dark abyss. The seemed to be nothing around her; she didn't seem to be standing on solid ground either. 'This place seems strangely familiar . . .'
Kairi turned around and gasped; now she knew where she was! She was standing outside the door to Kingdom Hearts . . .where Sora locked Riku away 8 years ago.
'Why am I here?' she thought, staring at the huge white doors in wonder.
Suddenly, the great door opened up on the right side slowly. Kairi waited to see what evil was going to come out of the doors.
Kairi gasped and stumbled backwards in shock. 'No . . .It cannot be . . .'
A young boy stepped out from behind the door, brunette hair spiked out eevrywhere. He was clothed in a radient white robe, and gave off a blinding light. His eyes were closed as he stood before the aghast girl.
The boy's eyelids slowly opened to reveal dazzling sapphire eyes; full of innocence. His eyes rested on Kairi and he gave her a franctic and pleading look.
"Please help me . . .bring me out of the Darkness . . ." he said quietly, his voice echoing slightly.
Then everything started to fade; melting the scene together . . .
*~*~*
Kairi's eyes snapped open wide and she sat up straight in a hospital bed.
"Sora!!!" she yelled out into the air, frantically looking for the brunette hair anywhere. Nobody was there.
'I have to save him! I have to bring him out of the Darkness! He's not dead!'
*~*~*
A/N: And that was one hella long chappie! -_-" Whew! Ouch-*massages hands* that took a lot of effort for my slow typing skills! I know, I know, I said in Lost Between Words that Sora died . . .but hey! I can change and twist that up! ^_^ *everyone sweatdrop* Well I can! Ok, thanks reviewers for putting up with how long it took me to update this (stupid writer's block). I gotta say thanx to my friend Cloud2432 for getting me outta my writers block and giving me ideas! Thanks! ^_^ Please R&R! I'll update soon! Till next time!
