Chapter 6: Love Is Painful
By: Cobalt-eyedAngel
"Strange, terrible things are coming...I can sense them. And they're not going to back down so easily this time."
There was a soft glow from the sun, reflecting on the ocean. Most was silent on Destiny Island; everyone had gone back to the main island to have dinner, except for one boy. He was sitting quietly on the docks, his feet dangling over the edge. His face was blank, but his mind was full.
Bushes were rustling, and a shadow emerged a few feet away.
..Sora..
"Man," I sighed lying down, using my hands as a pillow behind my head.
"Hello!" Rikku jumped from behind the bushes.
"Nice try. Knew you were there." I replied my eyes still closed.
"Aww Man!" She whined, and I smiled imaging her pouting face and drooping her arms and wagging them like she was about to through a fit.
All day she had been trying to sneak up and scare me. It didn't work to well. After two years of fighting Heartless, my skills had greatly increased. I could now sense someone's life force. (A/N- I need it for something later, or else I wouldn't have it. ) It weirded me out at first, so I didn't tell anyone how I knew they were there even when my eyes were closed. I didn't want people to be afraid of me!
"I'm bored! Let's do something!" She pulled me to my feet. "Let's go explore, you can show me around!"
"Alright, alright. Stop tugging." I whined, knowing it would amuse her.
"Let's go!" She cheered. "Where to first? Oh, let's go on there!" She pointed across the beach to the secret place.
I hesitated. I hadn't gone in there because it brought back to many memories. I really didn't want to show Kairi and my special place. But...it's not Kairi's special place anymore. It probably never was. She probably had a different place that she shared with Riku.
"Alright!" I said angrily. Rikku didn't notice my tone and jumped ahead, making her way over to it. I followed after her into the cave. She went straight to the idle of the room and looked at all the drawings.
"What are those?" Rikku asked curiously and I stepped away from the entrance, coming closer to what she was looking at. I saw the paopu fruit I had drawn, but there was a new edition to the drawing. (A/N- Ok Sorry to interrupt! But the spelling of paopu might be wrong so don't get mad! And some really sad parts are coming up so hold on! Thanks!)
Another fruit has been drawn to the Sora face from Kairi. Rikku looked at me questioningly while I stood with my eyes wide and my mouth agape.
"Paopu fruits" I choked out. My mouth had gone dry and it was getting hard to breathe. I fell to my knees, and brought a shaky hand to Kairi's face and trailed down to the fruit. I was making sure it was real, but I could feel the smoothness of the chalk so I knew it was real.
"Sora...are you okay?" Rikku asked cautiously, touching my arm.
I couldn't respond. I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn't cry out. Joy or sadness, I wasn't sure.
Rikku looked worried. "I-I don't understand. What are paopu fruits? Who is that girl in the drawing?" She took a few steps toward the entrance. "I think you need some time alone." I managed to nod so she left. Great, all I needed, another friend lost because of me. My hand was still on Kairi's drawn hand that was holding the paopu fruit...that Kairi was giving...to me. To me. Why, to me? My expression turned from shock to pain as I leaned my forehead against the cold cave wall.
"Why would you do that, Kairi?" I moaned to her picture on the wall. "Don't I mean more to you, than for you to play with my heart?" Silent tears dripped down my cheeks. "Do I mean anything at all to you?"
My hand slipped from the drawing and fell limply beside me. "Do you...even care?" I shut my eyes but the image wouldn't leave my head.
I somehow managed to get to my feet. I had to get out of here. I stumbled to the entrance.
When I reached outside, it was dark. How long had I stayed in there?
The boats were all gone. "Oh great, how am I supposed to get to Prophecy Island (the main island where all their homes are)?" I sighed; I had to get to the new cave where I was going to sleep. I had found it before the 'incident'. I had showed it to Kairi once...when she cared, I thought bitterly. No! Keep your mind off Kairi! I scolded myself.
"I guess I'll just swim." I mumbled and dived into the ocean. I started swimming. Should I really be swimming? I was really tired. Oh come on! You're strong! You won't drown. You won't drown! You won't drown. My mind kept repeating the saying as I swam further and further out.
..Kairi..
I tossed and turned in my sleep. "I just can't sleep!" I grumbled angrily.
I swung my feet over my bed and went to the window sill. I gazed up at the sky. The stars were bright. I had a sudden flash of Sora smiling his goofy smile. But as quickly as the image had come it disappeared.
"Sora?" I whispered his name. "I wonder where you decided to sleep." I said to him, even though he wasn't there. "I bet you're awake."
I put on a jacket over my pajama bottoms and bra shirt (u know what I mean? I forgot what they are called. LOL) I slipped my tennis shoes without bothering to put socks on.
I opened the door to my little hut and stepped out onto the sand. Skimming the beach as I walked, I looked for Sora. There was no sign of him.
I glanced out once more, and noticed about 20 feet away in the ocean, something was floating. NO! SomeONE!
Before thinking, I dove into the water and swam as fast as I could. As I came closer, with the moonlight's shine, I saw brown chestnut hair and the shape of a boy.
I reached the boy and flipped him over. "Sora!" my heart started racing. "Oh my god!" I put my arm across his chest and pulled. I swam, struggling to keep him with me and not let the current pull him away.
We finally reached the beach and I laid him on his back. I hadn't even noticed the stream coming from my face. All I knew was, He wasn't moving.
Author's Note- Haha! Just Kidding! I'll be nice, it's not over yet!! LOL.
Hehe!
I checked his pulse, and unlike mine, it was very, very slow. CPR! My mind screamed. And before I even had a chance to blush, my mouth was on his breathing life into his still body. Then I pulled away and gave him five pushes on his chest. I repeated this two times and finally his eyes opened wide.
He squeezed them shut again and coughed up water. When the coughing stopped he opened his eyes and saw me. His face changed from surprise to agony all in a second, and he closed his eyes again.
This surprised me. I sat there wide-eyed staring down at Sora, his eyes still closed and his chest was moving up and down rapidly. Did I do something to him? Why the look?
We sat there, him with his eyes squeezed shut, mine just the opposite, wide as a fist. I heard voices in the distance coming closer. But my mind didn't register them, only Sora and that awful face he directed at me.
"Sora?" I whispered for the second time that night.
His eyes slowly opened and he tried to smile at me, but it was a lost cause. Once again turned to agony and he squeezed his eyes shut.
My mouth went dry and I could no longer speak.
The voices came near, they belonged to Yuna, Rikku, Leon, and Yuffie. I still stared at Sora. I could imagine his beautiful cobalt eyes filled with happiness, and his goofy, trademark grin. But they never came that night.
At least not for me.
Rikku ran over and fell to her knees on the other side of Sora. Yuffie came up and stared at me sternly. "Is he..." she left the sentence unfinished.
I couldn't answer.
"Of course not kid," he replied gruffly, his eyes still closed. She sighed, ignoring the last bit, and looked relieved.
"Thank god," Yuna said, "What should we do?"
"Leon, take him to a bed." Yuffie instructed.
Sora turned his head in the direction of Yuffie's voice and opened his eyes. "I can walk." He said uneasily. (A/N- He's such a man!! LOL)
He wouldn't look at me.
Author's Note- All right this is the real thing. LOL. I got this chapter up pretty fast, eh? LOL. Well, yes trouble ahead as you can see. If you think this is sad, wait for the next chapter. Now THAT will make you cry. Well, hopefully it will be up by Monday. We'll see? Thanks! R&R!
