Chapter 2
"We're in Kingdom Hearts, and I know about your blade from King Mickey," Frost responded.
"King Mickey? Was here?" Riku asked with an astonished look on her face. Sure, he'd seen King Mickey but he didn't know he was in Kingdom Hearts.
"Yes, I was going to leave this place when the door was opened but King Mickey told me someone was about to come through and could help me," she admitted carefully. Maybe he could help her.
"Where's the door?" Riku asked. She looked him over for just a second. He was attractive. The long, silver hair and the deep, secretive eyes and well toned chest and arms.
"Over there" she pointed to the left. Riku hadn't noticed it before but it was there. A large white door inscribed with intricate patterns and encrusted with different gems. Riku headed towards it and tried to get it open.
"I've already tried everything to get it open, the key is the only way to open it, from there anyways," she said.
"You mean there's another way out?" Riku asked, giving up on the door. It was just too sturdy.
"According to the legends, on the caves, there are carvings that show heartless and a person beating them while the other is standing by," she whispered, like it was an ancient curse.
"You're here alone?" Riku asked after a few seconds uncomfortable silence.
"Yes," she responded "I've been alone for a long time."
"Who drew the pictures in the cave then?"
She rolled her eyes. Hello? "Alone for a long time"? A little sympathy?
"They were always there" she responded, giving up on sympathy and looking grumpy. She started to walk away. Riku was in a dilemma. Walk off by himself, knowing nothing about this place, probably get lost, and die of sleep deprivation or starve to death, or follow Frost and maybe have some company? She wasn't that bad, maybe they could get along.
Riku ran up behind her and tried to get in step with her. Suddenly, his mind snapped as if he had done something wrong. 'Why are you TRYING to get in step with her?' he wondered and took longer strides. The strides made him walk in front of Frost. She walked next to him again. He stepped ahead again. She stepped next to him. Soon, they had broken into a run. He took the lead when she slowed and smiled.
"You don't even know where we're going" she yelled to him. Riku stopped dead in his tracks. Damn, she was right. He turned around and reluctantly began towards her. 'Damnit, Riku, how could you be so stupid?' he thought angrily to himself. She smirked and watched him stand next to her, looking a bit embarrassed but mostly angry. She started off again and this time, he stayed with her.
"So we're in this together?"
"Together."
