Kingdom Hearts: The Darkness Within
By: Dimitri Plabato/Drake Dragon
Chapter two: Some alone time
{Destiny Islands; Secret Place}
A young woman, about seventeen is standing inside of the "secret place". "The door, it's glowing..." said the young female while looking at the door which intertwined the rest of the worlds with it's power "That means..." she said while slowly walking away, back to the beaches of Destiny Islands.
{Destiny Islands; The Docks}
"Man, i'm soooo bored!" said Riku while laying down as part of the circle with his friends Sora and Kairi. "You, bored? Now that's a new one to me!" said Kairi while giggling "Yea, I gotta say, that is a new one to me too, I miss Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka...when do they get back? The island is pretty boring without them." said Sora while sighing "Yea, man... you see this is one of the times that I wish that Ansem and the heartless were still here, they made life a little more fun." said Riku while dodging hits given to him by Sora and Kairi.
"Be careful what you wish for..." said the mysterious girl who was inside of the caves earlier "Huh?" everyone else said while looking up at the new girl "Oh sorry, hi, my guess is that your the new girl right?" said Kairi jumping up and down realizing that she finally had another girl to talk to on the island. "Oh, yea I'm Nicole, nice to meet you all." said Nicole the young female who was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt that had a picture of a dragon on it holding a sword.
"Cool, I'm..." said Sora before he was cut off by Nicole "No need, everyone knows you three. You're Sora, the wielder of the Ultima keyblade" she said while pointing at Sora then she moved over to Riku "You're Riku, the wielder of the Oblivion. And finally..." she then bowed a bit "You are the seventh princess of heart Kairi." Nicole surely knew quite a bit about the people that she had just met "Umm... yea, how did you know all of that? You're not a heartless are you?" said Riku and Sora standing up with keyblades appearing inside of their hands.
"Hahaha, noooo there's no way that i'm a heartless, but to answer your question, it's not possible to grow up and not know who you are, especially when you grew up inside of Transverse Town." she said smiling "Ohh.... that's where you from! Hey wait you remind me of someone..." said Sora calming down "I should, my brother Cid helped you out quite a bit." she said while looking at Riku who was looking at her with the same intensity.
"Uh oh! Hey Sora, we gotta go! You know how are parents are, it's 9:30!" yelled Kairi while standing up and getting ready to run "Crap! It is??!!" Sora said while preparing himself to run as well "Nice meeting you Nicole, see ya later Riku!" said Sora as Kairi pulled him off towards each of their homes "Aww well, I guess i'll see you later ok?" she said to Riku "Yea, I guess you will..." he trailed off as she walked away towards the seaside shack. "I guess I will..." he said smiling just a little bit.
{One hour later; Destiny Islands; Riku's Island}
Nicole is sitting in the Payou tree slowly talking to herself about different things. "Sigh... I know that I need to make some friends here, it's just so hard... to open up your heart when you've had it locked up so long..." she silently said while looking over the island that she had just moved to.
"You know it's said that talking to yourself means that you're going crazy. " said Riku who startled Nicole out of her deep thought "I used to be like that as well locked up and secluded... But the people here will soon get to you, and you'll find yourself slowly opening up and making friends." he said while going to sit next to her
"Riku! What are you doing here!?" Nicole yelled while blushing at the thought that she was caught talking to herself "Hahaha, well this is my thinking spot, in fact I spend 90% of my time sitting here on this tree and thinking." Riku said while looking at the Destiny Islands "Ohh… well sorry, I didn't mean to take your thinking space." She said, still blushing "Naw… that's ok." He said while smiling "Hey, since you know quite a bit about me, how about you tell me a bit about yourself?"
Riku said while now looking in the eyes of Nicole who blushed three shades deeper "Well, I only know the basics about you Mr. Keyblade, how about you go first? Then I just might open up to you a little bit." Said the now grinning Nicole "Humm… well that's fair I guess… well let's see… As you already know, my name is Riku and I am the wielder of the Oblivion keyblade. My two best friends are Sora and Kairi. Will that do?" said the smiling Riku
"Nope… sorry that won't work… I knew all of that!" "Aww well no harm in trying is there? Well let's see, I used to be a loner, caring about no one until like I said… the people here started to get to me. I slowly opened up and became Sora's best friend. When Kairi came, we all wanted to go to other worlds and explore… I guess that it was a little good yet bad that we all got our wish. I normally come here to sit and think about different things, in fact majority of the time, this is where you can find me, that's why is had been renamed to "Riku's Island" and finally I would do anything for my friends as you know…" said Riku while looking at Nicole waiting for her to respond "Humm… well you're a lot more complicated than you look Mr. Riku." She said smiling at her new friend
"Well I better be goin…" she started before she was cut off by Riku who patted a seat on the tree "Ohhhhh No you don't Ms. I wanna lock my heart up and not open up to anyone, get back here!" Riku said while Nicole sighed and moved back to her spot "Meaine!" "I know I am, it's how I got my reputation now, about you…" "Sigh… okkkkayy you win, I'll tell you about me." she said while refusing to look at the madly grinning Riku
"First of all I'm the same age as you. I was born in Traverse Town like my older brother Cid. My hobbies are being alone and playing my guitar." She said while blushing and turning away from the smiling Riku "Well then, I guess that you're going to have to play for me one day if you plan to stay on this island, I can get everyone, including the "out on a trip" Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus to kick you out if you don't." Riku smiled and stated as he told Nicole the power that he possessed over the island. "WHAT! You're kidding right!? You wouldn't, You couldn't!" she said while gasping "Oh I would and could, so it's in your best favor to go ahead and play for me someday."
"Oh my goodness, are you positive that you had your heart locked up!? I mean for goodness sakes! You're mean!" said the now pouting Nicole "Hahaha, as I said, the people here get to you. So are you gonna play for me?" "I guess I have no choice… ok I'll bring my guitar back later tomorrow, it's getting late." "Good, and what do you mean "getting late?" it's midnight." He said "IT'S WHAT!! Oh MY GOD! MY PARENTS ARE GONNA KILL ME FOR THIS!" she said while standing up off of the tree and yelling "Bye Riku! If I'm not killed today I'll see you later kay!?" she said while running on the bridge towards the shack "Hahahaha, yea! Okay! Now get home so you don't get in trouble!" "Okay! Even though I'm gonna kill you tomorrow, making me open up like that!" "I'd like to see you try! Just bring your guitar!" he said as she entered her home giving him the "If-you-bring-that-up-again-then-I'm-gonna-kill-you" look.
"Hahaha…"Riku giggled to himself "Well it looks like I've gotten her to open up quite a bit. She's cute too, I can't wait to hear her play the guitar. Hey wait a minute! I'm late too!! AAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Riku yelled while jumping off of the bridge and headed home.
