Point of View: Lakura

Disclaimer. I do not own Kingdom Hearts.

Falling asleep on the couch last night, I was pretty sore. Getting up, I went and showered, and pulled on a pastel yellow sleeveless, with a silver key, and blue jeans, plus my Protega necklace. I hollered out,"Riku!" No answer. "Riku?"No Answer.Quietly I crept back to his room only to see him sleeping."Oh, Riku." I turned to leave only to be stopped by his voice.

"Don't leave." I turned back around, only to avert my gaze to the floor, while he put proper clothes on. A yellow tank and blue pants. The same."I -I was just...""It's ok. I understand."He smiled.I had never seen him do that before. Smile I mean.Grabbing my hand he took me to the front door."Selphie and Wakka will want to challenge you.If you're lucky you get 3 at a time." "Sounds easy.""Yeah." I walked out only to be greeted by a"Hey!Me an' Wakka wanna challenge you and Tidus wants revenge. 3 to1. Come on!"Sarcastically I replied,"How can I refuse an Offer like that?" "Same spot ok?" "Yeah."

Moments later..

"Weapons ready!" I put up a fighting stance."No weapon Lakura? Guess you're goin' down!" "Heh. Right.""1, 2, 3, fight!!"I stood completely still , waiting.Wakka was going to throw his blitzball and Selphie was coming at me with her nunchucks. "Let's see what you got!"The ball whizzed right toward me but I hit it with the side of my fist, sending it back and knocking out the owner.Selphie came closer, wrapping my wrist in the nunchuck. Perfect. Using it against her I threw her down.Out cold. Tidus came last attempting to ram me with a red ..stick but missed, and I kicked him in the back.Out.

" Guess I was lucky ," Isaid smiling at Riku. He smiled back."Come on , is that all you have?!"I felt happier than I had in ages.It felt as if my wounds were healing.The rest of the day I just walked around.

Walking to Riku's I grabbed a blue jacket.It had started to drizzle but it wasn't cloudy.Walking along the beach, I found a good spot, and started gathering wood, stones and the small umbrella I had also brought. Making a fire ring I stuck the umbrella in the ground to keep the fire dry.Spreading out my hand , I muttered," Firaga." Scooting close I tried keeping warm.I was going to watch the stars tonight and nothing was going to stop me. Not even the cold. It really was cold.. "Sitting in the rain?"No, Riku I'm going to watch the stars."" In the rain?" "Yes.""Then I shall to."

Hugging my knees I tried to get warm.He did the same.It was freezing!"Cold?" "No."Who was I kidding? I was froze!!And moments ago I had started to shiver.I hugged my knees closer and moved to the fire. The rain stopped but I only got colder, and had started to shiver violently.

"I can keep you warm if you like,"he said opening his arms wide, as to invite me there. I was so cold I was quick to respond moving closer to him. "Take off the jacket. It's wet so you won't get warmer.." "Right." I slowly leaned back into his warm embrace. " You're freezing!" he said hugging me tighter.Warmth seeped into my body. "Thank you." "For what?" "Keeping me warm." My small form fit into his perfectly. He held me , ..almost possessively. He placed his chin on top of my head. And we watched the stars together.

I think my scars are finally healing. They've been left open so long. As long as he's here.
