Chapter 3

Walking a bit behind Frost, something was troubling Riku. As he examined the blade on Frost's back, he noticed even more patterns that had some reference to the island. A waterfall, the Paopu fruit, the Paopu tree.

"Have you ever been to Destiny Islands?" Riku asked. Frost was startled by the question.

"No, not that I can remember," she answered and headed towards a small house. Riku followed and watched as she pulled out a pair of odd shaped keys. Each was bent differently. She opened the door and stepped in. He followed.

"Are you hungry?" she asked. He nodded slightly. She walked out into what he thought was a kitchen. He sat on the couch; it sure was comfortable for its appearance. Outside, on the patio, was what looked like, a Jacuzzi. 'Funny,' Riku thought 'If she's been here alone for so long, why have a Jacuzzi?'

"Here" she said and handed him a plate. Of something. Little yellow pieces cut into what should be squares, but more like rectangle-polynomial things.

"What is it?" he asked, disdainfully picking up a piece and dropping it again. It bounced off the plate and bounced two more times to the floor. Riku stared at it, afraid it might move again.

"Hikari fruit" she said and placed a piece in her mouth. She wasn't dying, maybe the fruit was okay. Riku picked up a piece and slowly placed it in his mouth. He moved it around nervously in his mouth and bit into it. Surprisingly, it was super sweet and caused him to feel lighter.

"I probably should have mentioned it puts you in a better mood" she said, nibbling on another piece. Riku smiled.

"You're trying to make me happy so I'll help you get out of here," he said "But who cares?" He started to feel woozy and began to tip over.

"Whoa, whoa, lay down," she said, catching him as he fell. As soon as he hit the couch he was asleep.

*~*~*

The next morning, Riku woke up to blaring sun in his face. Sun? When was there sun? He hadn't seen any yesterday. He opened his eyes blearily. He felt odd. If he hadn't been tired and his eyes hadn't been burning he would have been happy. Must have been that damn fruit she'd given him. He rubbed his eyes. Well, he wasn't going to fall for any more of that.

"Morning" he heard a voice chirp from somewhere in the room. He looked around, his eyes still filled with sleep. Frost was standing in a doorway, in a brand new outfit. This one was a black type thing with a long green vest, reaching down to her ankles. Her boots were black and flat. She rolled her eyes.

"Not going to say good morning? Must be the pain from sleeping on those huge pants" she nitpicked and he looked down, realizing he had no change of clothes. Why hadn't this fact occurred to him yesterday? How did he know there even was a yesterday here?

"Fine, good morning, Damnit," he swore as he sat up. The sunlight was even brighter up here.

"I have clothes for you, in case you were wondering," she said and skimmed his appearance. His hair was a bit messed up and he looked worn out, but overall he looked strong enough for a journey, maybe a nap could help him get up on the right side of the bed.

"Great, could I see them?" he replied with a bit of edge in his voice. He was too tired to be bothered. She retrieved the outfit she had found. It seemed to be his size.

"This is my heartless outfit" he said as she handed it to him.

"Sorry, I don't have anything else," she said and gave him a pleading look. She hoped he would wear it, just for the sake of maybe it could hide that he had come through the door.

"Oh well" he said and stood up. She showed him the bathroom and left.

*~*~*

While in the bathroom, he surveyed his appearance in the mirror. He tried to smooth down his bed-head hair and, failing, he began to search for a comb or brush or anything. In a small drawer, below the counter, was a drawer full of "supplies". He pulled out a brush and noted that there was no make-up. He searched the rest of the room. No make-up anywhere. Maybe there was some in her room.

He exited the room and walked into the living area. She was sitting on the couch, reading a book.

"What are you reading?" he asked, trying to sound diplomatic. She looked at him over the rims of her glasses.

"Nothing, just some mythology stuff," she answered and under her analytical glare, he almost blushed. A piercing sound reached his ears and caused him to hold his head.

"What the hell is that noise?" she asked, holding her ears.

"I don't know!" he was about to yell when the noise suddenly stopped. He looked around.

"What was that all about?" he asked. She placed her book down on the couch, the crease holding it open.

"Something's happening" she said and stood up, heading towards the door.

"And how would you know that, miss knows-all?" he asked and followed after her. She rolled her eyes again and flung the door open angrily. She walked away, Riku trailing after her.

A/n: Oooohhhh, what's going on, eh?
