Chapter 8 Travers Town
A/N: Well, here we are. The 8th chapter. Yep. The 8th chapter . . . . . . . Okay. Whatever. On With The Story! .
Sora woke up to see a yellow dog licking all over his face. He pushed the dog of and looked around. He was in an alley. The dog took off down the alley, turned around and began to bark. Sora ran to catch up with the dog and stopped when he had finally got out of the alley.
He looked around at the bright lights of the town.
He slowly walked down the steps to see the yellow dog run off. He slowly walked down the stairs and went up to a tall lady in green and white under a lamp post. "Excuse me," he said getting her attention, "What's the name of this town?" He asked.
She sighed and looked up at the stars, "Travers Town," she answered. She sighed again and looked down at him. She stared at him, "Your world must have been destroyed as well."
"Yes, but how would you know?"
"Everyone that you see out on the streets, has come from another place. Their homes have been destroyed." She sighed again. Her faced hardened as she glared at him, suddenly angry. "I don't want to talk about it anymore . . . . ." She trailed off and left it at that.
He walked away from her thinking that maybe she was a head case.
He had been walking around for a while now. He had been to so many places. The town was lit up with bright lights everywhere he went. There were three districts. The first district had two shops and a restaurant. The second had many shopping areas, a factory and a hotel. It also had a house that led out to a back ally, and a fountain in the middle. The third district really had nothing to it. Just a lot of bright lights and a big, locked wooden door that lead to the first district, and another door that had a flame carved onto it. It was probably locked too since it wouldn't open.
He went back to the second district and went out the back door to the factory. He saw a latter in front of him. It didn't look sturdy enough to climb so he left it alone and jumped down to the ground to see that someone had just walked to the third district.
She didn't want to open her eyes. Not yet. She was still tired and wanted to sleep some more. She was warm and felt safe. She felt a pair of arms around her. She snapped her eyes opened and looked down at her waist to see a pair of hands. She slowly tried to scoot away when she was suddenly pulled back. This is going to be difficult. She thought. She now was held closer and tighter then she was before. She moved around to see who it was and caught a glimpse of silver. She realized now that it was Riku, Kairi's friend. She had described Sora easily enough, but didn't really have much to say about Riku. She said that he usually always kept to himself and that he was really competitive, especially against Sora
She had seen him before, but only for a bit. She never even had a chance to talk to him. She looked around at her surrounding. She was in a little alley that had boxes that blocked her view from anything that could have been on the other side. The only light they received came from in between the boxes. It was little, but enough to see.
She felt him move around and pull his arms away. She rolled over to get away from her capture. Finally. She thought. She had given up on trying to move anywhere. She blushed as she slowly stood up and brushed of her clothes. She had tow dark blue arm cuffs on that started a little bit above her elbow and ended below her shoulders. She had a sleeve less white and dark blue shirt on that showed a little of her belly. Her short skirt had some shorts under them like Kairi's skirt. She also had her long hair up in a high pony tail. Her necklace was tucked in her shirt only showing a silver chain.
She turned around and looked at Riku. He was still sitting down. He looked around and finally started to get up as he muttered a sorry. "What?" She asked him. "Sorry." He said as he looked at her. He walked past her and started to climb up the boxes. When he finally reached the top he looked down to see she was struggling. He got down and held out his hand for her. She thanked him and took his hand as he pulled her up. He started climbing down as she looked around. There was a little stream of water that ended at a bared place in the wall and balconies that lead into some rooms.
She looked down to see he had already started walking, leaving her alone. "Wait, please!" She yelled as she jumped down. She landed gracefully on her feet and ran towards him.
He turned around in time to see her running towards him. He had stopped walking after hearing her scream out. "Wait. Don't leave me. I have no idea where I am. I don't want to be alone. You're the only person that I recognize." She said. She looked at him with pleading eyes. He sighed, "Yes."
She smiled and started to follow him.
"Have you ever been here?" She asked as they neared a fountain.
"No, I have never been of my island." He said as he started to walk up some of the stairs leaving her at the fountain. "Wait! So, what are you going to do then?" She asked as she ran up the stairs to catch up to him. "I'm looking for Kairi."
"Then, can I come along and help you look? Kairi was the one that helped me when . . . . ." She trailed of leaving it at that. He stopped and turned to look at her. She was staring down at the ground.
He walked closer to her, "What's your name?"
She slowly looked up at him. She stared at him for awhile before answering, "Yuki."
"Where did you come from? I know you weren't from the island." He said. She looked up at him sadly remembering the day she had woke up on the beach. That memory was the only thing that she had remembered, and it wasn't exactly a happy one. She remembered only a little of what her town had looked like. She didn't know the place, "I don't remember much. I woke up on the beach only remembering what my home had once looked like before it was destroyed . . . . . . Like your island."
He looked at her, "Come on." He said smiling at her.
