Kairi woke up with the early dawn and decided to count the spots on her ceiling. You see, she had this insomnia problem where she would wake up very early in the morning and, despite all of her attempts, she just couldn't get back to sleep.
She sighed loudly, obviously in great distress with herself. She looked over at her digital alarm clock. It read 5:04, exactly one minute after she had looked at it last.
"Crap, I could have sworn it had been at least five minutes!" Kairi complained rolling over onto her side. She closed her eyes for a moment and then shot them back open with no hope. She sighed loudly again and pulled her pillow up over her face. She was extremely, and most particularly, annoyed this solemn morning. She took her pillow firmly in her hands and threw it down onto the floor as she sat up abruptly and looked out her window. A miniature smile formed across her face as she watched the scene far below. Her bedroom window gave her a nice view of the island. Right now it also gave her a nice view of Riku... on the island. She could barely make him out, seeing as the sun hadn't yet hit the horizon. Though the reflection of silver (hair) was kind of difficult to miss.
"I guess he wasn't lying about 'waking up with the sun' after all," Kairi spoke to herself. "But what in the name of God is he doing?" Kairi asked herself. She fell silent for a moment, as if waiting for an answer.
Riku seemed to just be sitting there, on the beach... watching the sunrise...? How bizarre. Kairi shrugged and climbed out of her open window. She crawled down the sloped side of her roof and descended the arbor of vines making their way up the side of her house. Kairi leapt to the ground. She could barely see anything, the morning was so dark. She carefully got into her boat and rowed over to the island and walked down the beach. She stopped when he came into view; sitting there, all misty eyed and such. It was odd to say it, but for a moment, he looked almost defenseless, so sensitive, like he could cry or something. But then again, it is physically, mentally, and biologically impossible for Riku to cry.
The only word that could describe this state was pretty. No, I don't mean pretty like that popular girl in your grade or daffodil pretty. This was some mad kind of one step above magical pretty. Pretty like 'I would rather spend the rest of eternity staring at him then go to heaven after I die' kind of pretty. Pretty like... okay, I believe you get my point.
Kairi stepped up behind him slowly, "hey there, Riku!" Kairi exclaimed happily. Riku almost jumped, but caught himself, stood up and faced the girl that nearly sent him into cardiac arrest.
"Shit Kairi, what the..." he stopped and fell silent. Kairi's smile sank. "Sorry," he mumbled looking toward the ground (he knew Kairi hated it when he swore).
"No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you like that," Kairi replied, the smile halfway resurfacing.
"I wasn't scared," Riku played coolly. Kairi nodded and mouthed a 'sure' slowly.
The two fell silent and shifted their weight almost nervously.
"So, um... Having fun watching the sunrise?" Kairi questioned. Riku's eyes went suddenly wide.
"Wha... sunrise? I-I... I wasn't!" Riku stuttered.
"Oh Riku, you can't lie to me. I could see you from my bedroom window," Kairi wavered.
"I was, ah, training," Riku shot back.
"With what? You were sitting down."
"I was... 'mentally' training," Riku replied.
"Oh, so I guess I should leave you alone then, eh? You can't really 'mentally train' with me here and everything," Kairi turned around. "Have fun meditating," Kairi called as she began to walk away.
"Kairi! Wait... I was watching the sunrise, okay?" Riku shouted. Kairi stopped moving, but kept her back to him. "Do you want to join me?"
Kairi rolled around and traipsed back over to Riku. Light was beginning to wash over the world, and his face was reflected in deep orange tones.
"Sure!" she smiled. Riku smiled back (Ah! Take a picture!!!) The two sat down in silence and stared out at the captivating horizon.
