Chapter 1
"Alright! Now hit at the side, then lunge in at the stomach, good! Now hit on the- ouch!" Tidus clutched his stomach as Kairi dropped the wooden rod and leaned in.
"Sorry! I'm so sorry!!" She said hurriedly. Tidus suddenly smiled and used his rod to smack at her legs and trip her.
"HEY!" She yelled as she tipped into the sand. Tidus only smiled and waved his finger from side to side giving the *tsk* *tsk* sound.
"Never let your guard down." He replied to Kairi's glare. The brown- reddish haired girl smiled and brought her foot around, swinging it and tripping Tidus. Tidus, being unprepared fell backward and tumbled right onto Kairi and the next moment they were tumbling around in the sand.
"Get a room ya?" Wakka said observing them from the dock.
"I think that's romantic!" Selphie whined glaring at Wakka. He only shrugged and laid back hands behind his head. For a moment the two stopped and looked at each other, then Kairi glanced away and Tidus sighed, getting up they picked up their practice swords again faced each other. After another good practice duel the four of them relaxed.
"So what are you guys going to do later?" Tidus asked Selphie and Wakka.
"Probably goin to the-" Wakka began.
"Island so that we can watch the sunset!" Selphie finished. "Wanna come?" She indicated of the others.
Wakka shook his head replied,
"I'm goin to the Mayor's house. I have to help him with somethin."
"Okay, we'll finish up here." Kairi said smiling and walked away. Tidus stared at her as she disappeared. Finally Wakka broke the silence with an exasperated sigh.
"When are ya gonna tell her man?!" He demanded of Tidus. Tidus looked at him and sighed.
"I don't know, she seems to be thinking of someone else all the time. What am I supposed to do?!" He yelled back.
"Anything!" Selphie and Wakka screamed back. Tidus blanched and looked down.
"But, she's waiting for someone else. I know it!" When the others looked at him surprised he mumbled something and looked back at them.
"I knew she'd been going back to the secret place ever since that huge storm. So one time I followed her. She seemed drawn to this one particular drawing, or scribble. After she left I checked it out."
"Go on!" Selphie said leaning in intently.
"It was a picture of her, real messy and lousy but the resemblance was there. I could tell, it had a hand going to another face of a guy, someone with spiky hair, they were sharing a paopu fruit." Tidus sighed and looked towards the ocean.
"So, what are you going to do?" Selphie asked green eyes gentle.
"Watch and wait, maybe one day Kairi will come around and return my feelings." He replied steadily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So what's your name man?" Wakka asked a boy with turquoise eyes. He only smiled and looked away. Wakka frowned but turned back to the mayor.
"He showed up like Kairi, right after a meteor shower. Can you show him around?" the mayor asked already walking away.
"Ya, sure." Wakka replied and turned back to the boy who was only a few centimeters shorter then him.
"Name? Mine's Wakka." And gave a hand. The boy stared at if for a second then grinned and said,
"Riku."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is the island. We spend most of our time here." Wakka explained to Riku. He was looking at the cove and was frowning. Then without warning he asked
"Is there a girl named Kairi here?" Wakka jumped.
"You know her?! Maybe you guys came form the same place ya?" Wakka started ranting about possibilities when he found out that the silver haired boy wasn't listening. Then there was a shout and they turned.
"Hiya Wakka! How's it goin- hey! Who's he?" Selphie, as usual was extremely hyper and noticed Riku. Riku grinned and said in a light voice that was perfectly alluring
"My name's Riku. I'm new here, what's your name?" Selphie nearly swooned and took his offered hand,
"Selphie!"
"Nice to meet you Selphie." He replied and looked her in the eyes. She melted into that smile and before she knew it Tidus was smacking her on the head with his practice rod.
"Introduce us huh?" He said smiling.
"Riku." He said instantly and smiled. "Hello Tidus."
"Wha-? How did you know my name?!" Tidus demanded. Riku panicked at the slip but quickly recovered.
"The mayor told me." Wakka studied the young male for a moment when a cry from behind made them all turn.
"RIKU!" And a figure came at full speed to hug Riku.
"Kairi!!" He shouted as he wrapped his arms around her. Kairi started to sob into his shirt and Riku felt little tears trickle down his face. Sighing he wiped them away and held her close. Tidus stiffened.
'Was this the guy she'd been waiting for?' he thought panicked.
"I thought you were gone forever!" She whispered hugging him even tighter. He only smiled lightly and hugged her tighter.
"Never, I will never leave you." he whispered back. After the touching reunion everyone sat down and Wakka, Selphie, and Tidus let them have a moment alone.
"Sorry man," Wakka said to Tidus. He only shrugged but his heart was in pieces.
'I guess I'll never get her. Well, this Riku guy is one lucky jerk.' He thought as he watched the talking couple a few feet away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm so glad to see you!" Kairi said smiling. Then she frowned. "Did you find-?" she didn't even finish the sentence before Riku was shaking his head looking despaired. Kairi bit her lip and then smiled.
"Don't worry! I'm sure we'll find him, I mean, he's got that keyblade thingy." She replied cheerfully. "And besides, he has those two guys with him. Uh, what were their names? Danny and Gooey?" she said struggling to remember.
"Donald and Goofy." Riku corrected and when he realized she was staring at him he blushed. "Learned that when they came to my side after....after Sora lost the....keyblade." he said hesitantly the memory of his betrayed friend still fresh in his mind. "I had a hard time getting to the destiny islands Kairi. What with all the heartless." He said trying to change the subject. It didn't work.
"I thought Sora got rid of the..." She trailed off. Riku looked at her, then walked over and hugged her.
"I hate this fact but, the truth is that there will ALWAYS be heartless. But don't ever give up hope. Don't ever lose sight of the light." Riku whispered and held her for a long time. End Chap. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
