Chapter 3-The
Forgotten Destiny
The day had ended and
Sora was feeling ecstatic. 'Riku's party's tomorrow! It's
gonna be so fun!'
It had been about a week since Riku
had come back. He and Sora had really hit it off, and it seemed like
they'd known each other their whole lives...err, which they did,
but they had been separated, y'know. ( ; ) Kairi and Sora
were still together, which confused Riku. It seemed that every day,
Kairi became more and more flirtatious with Riku and spent less time
with Sora. Sora, however, was completely oblivious with the arrival
of his best friend, and planning the party.
"Soooo...Riku,"
Kairi said in a giggly voice from behind him. Riku groaned on the
inside and ran a hand through his hair, "Yes, Kairi?"
"Welll...your
party's tomorrow...I was wondering if you wanted to do
something...special, for it" She emphasized the word special
with a bat of her eyelashes and a high, somewhat false voice.
Riku
sighed. He had had it with all the flirting behind Sora's back. He
wanted to know what was going on. "Kairi listen I-"he
immediately stopped when Kairi placed her lips upon his. Riku's
eyes widened to about the size of dinner plates before he roughly
shoved Kairi away from him. She landed on her butt with a small
"Ouch!"
"What do you think you're doing?!" Riku
yelled, obviously infuriated. Kairi was gazing up at him, eyes half
lidded, when they suddenly opened, as if she was realizing something.
"Oh, Riku!" she cried, tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry!" And
with that, she got up and ran down the sidewalk, away from Riku.
Riku stood dumbfounded.

Sora sighed happily. Autumn was his favorite season of all. He was walking home, and was gazing avidly at the trees that surrounded the road. He smiled at their different colors, the wind that played through their leaves, and through his hair. Autumn was definitely the best season of them all.
He arrived home and
threw his book bag against the wall. "Mom, I'm home!"
"Hello
Dear!" his mother called from the bedroom upstairs.
Sora ran up to greet
her. "Hey Mom, do you mind if I go out for a little while to get a
few things?"
She smiled, "Go ahead. Just be back before
dark."
He smiled, "Thanks!" and ran back outside.
Selphie watched Sora running down the sidewalk from her bush. Oh yeah, she was stalking him. But it was for his own good! She grinned evilly when she noted his window being open.
And there seemed to be vines growing right up to the windowsill!
Muahahahahaha!

"Hey Sora!"
Sora: EEP! OO
He spun around to come face to face with a grinning Riku. "Whatcha doin'?"
"Uhmuhmuhm...nothing! What're you here for?"
"Oh...just stuff, y'know..." He holds up a small list.
"Oh...heh..heh..."
There's an awkward silence. Riku looks at the ground, and back to Sora's face, and then to the ground again. 'Gah, I should just tell him how I feel! What's the worst that could happen?'
Meanwhile, Sora is gazing at Riku's face with a hint of a daze. 'He's so beautiful...so, so beautiful...beautifulbeautifulbeauti-AH! He's looking at me!'
Sora turns away quickly. "Uhm...I gotta go! Bye!" He runs away.
Riku gazes at his retreating form with a sad look. 'Will I ever tell him?'
It is the day of the party, and everyone is excited. Kairi had stopped flirting with Riku, and had been pretty introverted for the past couple of days. No one was paying too much attention to her, though, in the hype of the party.
It had been decided that they'd hold it at Sora/Riku's house. Riku had, apparently, moved in near to Sora. He was right next to him, actually! Sora didn't know how he could be so dense as to not notice someone moving in RIGHT NEXT TO HIS HOUSE, but it didn't matter. Everyone was excited, and basically in a good mood, and that was all that mattered.
Practically half the school showed up for his party, and it was...insanely awesome. There isn't enough room to describe everything, so here's a brief description:
200 teenagers, unsupervised, with an endless supply of alcohol.
Oh yeah, it was pretty wicked.
Riku was stumbling about the yard by now, looking for someone: Sora. He didn't know how he lost him...all he had done was gone and grabbed a drink. Then a second. Then a third, a fourth, a fifth.
He was pretty wasted by now. Where's that- Aha! He saw Sora laughing on the other side of the yard. He determinedly propped himself up onto the ground, and walked towards Sora.
He hit the ground.
When he got back up, he saw Sora walking inside by himself.
'Must...reach...SORA!'
He propped himself on the side of the house and slowly made his way towards the door that Sora had just entered. He heard a few people call his name, but he didn't care. All he wanted right now was currently standing a few feet into the house.
Sora was having a great time. He had been drinking just as much as his friends...but he noted that while they seemed to be getting more and more drunk, it wasn't affecting him at all. He decided to walk up to his room.
Riku groaned as he watched Sora ascend the stairs of his household.
Sora was sitting on his bed, thinking. What was going on tonight? He felt sort of...weird.
That was when his whole world was changed.
Sora saw a bright flash of light in front of his face. Then he was falling, falling fast again.
Right into a grassy field, with an ancient tree.
"Well Sora, glad to see you made it back okay. Not that I doubted you would."
Sora looked up...that beautiful lady...
And then he suddenly remembered his dream.
"Ah! Wait wait...tell me what's going on!"
She grinned and said, "Come here, and sit with me." She motioned to the grass and sat down herself. Sora noted that she was extremely elegant...like a queen.
"Well Sora, there is quite a story to tell. What I'm about to tell you may change you completely, so be ready."
"You see..."
End of Chapter 3, Part 1. Hah, I'm so sorry for leaving it on a cliffhanger. The rest will be coming tomorrow! Just hold on.! I swear that this gets better...I've sort of been in a slump. So do expect this whole chapter, both Part 1 and 2 to be revised in the near future.
