Claustrophobia

Chapter 3

I was found eating a coconut under one of it's trees, as the sun beat down hard. Kairi was to my right, Riku to my left, and the raft before us, in all it's glory. Well, half. But only in about eleven days, all it needed was a sail and supplies for the trip. "Hey Riku, didn't you say we were gonna finish in a couple weeks?" Kairi asked, as if to read my thoughts. "We're practically finished, and it hasn't even been two."

"It's 'cause we worked hard on it!" I put in, smiling.

"No, because I worked hard on it," Riku corrected, his grin wider than mine. But I'm not sure if he was kidding. We had been pretty lazy. "And anyway, why ask as long as it's done?" Standing up and brushing the sand off his pants, he walked towards it. "But I guess since we're doing so well..." He ran to me, nudging my shoulder pretty hard. "We can fool around the rest of the day!"

"You mean have Sora battle you until he beats you... which will never happen."

"Hey! I've won a couple of times!"

"Like when?"

"L-like!--" I mumbled incoherently. I don't think I had ever won.

"Come on, bring it!" He picked up a moderately good-sized stick, about the same length of our wooden swords, and picked up a second, tossing it directly at me, clocking me in the face. "Show me that you can beat me."

"You bet!" I rubbed my nose, and bent over to pick up my "weapon."

Unfortunately for me, my silver-haired friend pretty much showed that he's full of strength and ego. Tiring of losing, I rested on the sandy shore. My friends wouldn't let me drown here, right? ...I hoped. Hearing Riku run by me and towards the ocean, I knew that he surely hadn't forgotten me.

Because no matter how much we kid around, we'll always be friends.

"I've been having... these weird thoughts lately."

Next thing I knew, I was floating in water. Was I drowning? No... I wasn't breathing, but I wasn't choking. Maybe I was dreaming again? But why did it feel like I was living this? I knew that dreams can feel real, but how come I could decifer between the two while supposedly dreaming?

"Like, is any of this for real? Or not?"

My body slowly rose and surfaced now standing on the beach. Was I still dreaming, if I had been at all? Everything was how it really was on the Islands... but everything, from dream to reality was connected. Hadn't the water just been deep? Because now my shoes were barely sinking in the sand.

Shizuka ni deguchi ni tatte
Kurayami ni hikari o ute

Riku was looking towards the sea. Was he thinking about leaving the Islands? He turned to me, and held out a hand, as if to invite me out. I could only wonder, would we be together in this... or would we be seperated? But we could never find out by staying where we were, so I ran out towards him.

Imadoki yakusoku nante fuan ni saseru dake kana
Negai o kuchi ni shitai dake sa
Kazoku ni mo shoukai suru yo
Kitto umaku iku yo

My path was swiftly cut off as a giant wave crashed on top of us, spinning me in circles. Just as I feared: separation. Was this our destiny? Surely not, and I swam towards him, his arm still outstretched. But no matter how hard I paddled, I was pulled away, until I reached the surface once more, panting for air. Nowhere was Riku found, but there was Kairi, waving from the shorelines. I walked towards her instead, knowing that nothing could seperate me from her.

Donna toki datte
Zutto futari de
Donna toki datte
Soba ni iru kara
Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi o mitsukeru
Mayonaka ni

As I reached her side, she was laughing, just from the joy of seeing me once more. No more tides to capture me, but I was confused as she looked towards the sky. I turned to see a figure falling from the heavens. It was a boy, wearing a hooded shirt and big shoes. Wait... was that me?

Motto hanasou yo
Mokuzen no ashita no koto mo
TEREBI keshite
Watashi no koto dake o miteite yo

Before I had a chance to look, I felt myself tilt backwards. The sky was moving swiftly... I was falling! Kairi's face flashed before me, a worried look plastered on her face, arm stretching for me, like Riku had done. And her face melted in the waters as I crashed into the deep sea, body continuing to drift down without any work.

Motto hanasou yo
Mokuzen no ashita no koto mo
TEREBI keshite
Watashi no koto dake o miteite yo

Somehow, I was able to land on what seemed like a platform. But it was a glass window of a woman. Birds flew around me and soared into the deep abyss. I wondered where they were headed, and walked in their direction, hoping that I'd find the light.

And this where the real adventure began.

A/N: I GOT BORED ;-; THE END.
Riku: It's shorter than your usual, PLUS you cheated.
Genki: There wasn't much more to write. (shrug) I only got a couple reviews, so a couple fans won't be too hurt. (I needed to finish this so I could wrap up all my projects and work on some new things... sorry guys.) Plus it was a boring story. Sorry the ending got sappy and possibly confusing. I say... he was hazy, dreamy-like, and thinking oddly.
Sora: Tell them about the lyrics. (kick)
Genki: Oh! RIGHT! Some of you may recognize them, others may not. It's Hikari, the real theme song to Kingdom Hearts. (Simple and Clean with diffy lyrics.) I'd post the translation, but it makes the author notes REALLY long...

Now, get yerself some cookies. You deserve it for reading. Thanks so much! Reviews would be nice... (shifty eyes)
