Silver-Haired Angel

Chapter One: Sora's new feelings

The wind blew across his face, sweeping strands of silvery white hair. Every now and then, whenever he looked down and concentrate real hard at the task at hand, his almond-shaped green eyes would narrow slightly in concentration and his jaws lightly clenched.

"How wonderful." The girl, beside the boy muttered, eyeing the raft that he was now making with his own two hands.

"What's so wonderful?" the boy replied, eyeing the girl a little, his expression unreadable.

The girl shrugged, as a few strands of dark red hair fall across her slightly round face. "I don't know. You're good at this, Riku."

Riku shrugged easily, and ran a hand through his now slightly ruffled silver hair. "I would have been much faster if that lazy pig would get off his bums and help."

This earned a small giggle from the petite girl, who stood up finally. She had been squatting down the whole time, watching Riku make the raft.

"Well, Sora has issues!"The girlchuckled teasingly. "I think he's got himself in trouble this time."

Riku looked up and meet her ocean blue eyes. "What do you mean by 'trouble', Kairi?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Without waiting her to finish though, he crawled up to his feet and carelessly dust away the sand on his hands and clothes.

Kairi watched him a little before smiling at his question. "I don't know, Riku. Sora's been acting kind of weird lately. I have no idea what he's thinking sometimes too..." her voice got a little soft and there was a look of sadness in her big round eyes.

Riku nodded absentmindedly, still checking out te raft a little to see if it was firm and safe enough. "I'm sure he's just tired from all that...work." he muttered, "And I bet he misses them."

At his words, Kairi became silent as a look of sorrow entered her clear blue eyes. She turned her gaze outwards to the sea as the breeze continue to blow at them. "Sometimes, I think he doesn't belong here..."

"What do you mean?" Riku asked, this time with a frown.

"I mean, I think he must have fallen on this island from somewhere else. He misses Donald and Goofy so much...its like he' a changed person ever since he defeated Ansem..."

Even Riku grew quiet. The topic of Ansem wasn't particularly his favourite. "I'm sure he'll get out of the dump in a few days time. Meanwhile, I'll go check out on him." Riku said, giving one last look at the newly constructed raft, before turning his attention back to Kairi. "You should go home too. Time for you to get some rest and sleep."

Kairi smiled sadly but did not protest. "Sure, Riku. Tell Sora I'll see him later in the evening. Bye.."

Sora tossed and turned in his bed, unable to sleep. He'd meant to take a nap but so far, had failed miserably at that. Just when he was about to give up and go look for Riku and Kairi, he heard a knock on the door. Hesitating, he thought he should feign sleep but when he heard the voice behind the door and realized immediately that it was Riku, he sat up in his bed and called for him to come in.

Riku walked in casually, dressed in his usual big shirt and baggy pants. But today, he looked different somehow. More radiant perhaps, Sora couldn't quite put a finger on it.

"What are you doing?" Riku asked, folding his arms as he stood at the doorway to his room, his left shoulder leaning slightly against the door.

"Nothing." Sora muttered, rubbing his deep baby blue eyes as he act as if he'd just woken up. "What's up, Riku?"

"Kairi's worried."

Sora sighed although not loudly. "I know..."

Riku rolled his eyes and took a step into the bedroom. "You're a mess, Sora. What's really going on?"

"I told you, nothing." Sora insisted. "I was just tired so I took a nap."

He watched as Riku started to walk towards him, that slightly calculated walk of his, as if he planned for every steps he take. "Don't be giving me that. We know you're in some sort of depression."

This make Sora indignant. "I'm not in depression!"

Riku did not reply to this but simply sat down and crossed his legs on Sora's study table. He took one glance at Sora's room and then returned his sharp green eyes back to the boy. "Why won't you let it go?"

"Let what go?" Sora asked, feigning ignorance.

"You know what I mean." Riku replied simply, folding his arms againand tilting his head slightly to the right, the way he usually does. Sora stared at his friend for a while, not sure if his bestfriend knew how gorgeous he really is. Sometimes, even Sora wondered why Kairi would fall for him instead of handsome, strong and charming Riku.

But Sora knew what was Riku talking about. Ever since Sora rescued Riku and Kairi from Ansem and the keyblades were once again sealed as the different worlds returned to peace, Sora never did manage to get over the fact that he would never be able to see Donald and Goofy again. He misses them very much.

But more crucially, the journey he'd undertake taught him something. Or rather, it make him realized something.

That he cares for Riku more than anyone in the world.

Sure, Sora was glad Riku was back with them at Destiny Island. And Riku had acted as if nothing big had happened to them. He never once talk about Ansem again or how he was once possessed by the darkness. He'd never spoke of the Heartless or how he'd once worked for them.

In fact, it was as if Riku forgot everything that happened. Sora knew that part of Riku wanted to forget and that was why he never talked about it.

But Sora wanted to know how Riku felt throughout the journey. He'd wanted to know if Riku was thinking about him...or rather, them, when they were separated by the darkness.

So now, as Riku sit, crosslegged ontop of Sora's table, Sora couldn't help but admire the way the wind always seem to ruffle Riku's silver hair to perfection. Nothing about him was a flaw. Everything was perfect.

"Hey, earth to Sora." Riku muttered again, his slightly nasel voice awaken Sora back to reality.

"Oh...sorry...guess I kind of spaced out."

Again, Riku shook his head. "You need to get hold of yourself, Sora."

Sora nodded, but did not say anything else. He heard Riku muttered something about meeting Kairi later in the evening for dinner. He simply nodded without really listening. He was already thinking of something else.

Why am I so affected by his presence? It'd never used to be like that until after Ansem was defeated...what happened to me? Sora thought, frowning.
