Chapter 2: Riku's Jealousy

This chapter may be a little short,but well,basically Sora and Riku end up meeting on the beach after Sora leaves Kairi standing at the papou tree.Will be using a different method of showing the character's POV. Well,I hope you'll enjoy!...

Normal POV

Sora ran off,leaving Kairi under the papou tree with her broken heart.He ran until he reached the spot on the beach where he liked to nap,and decided to sit down and think.Sighing,he closed his eyes,and rested his head in his hands.

Sora's POV

I sat down on the beach,feeling slightly confused.I had just broken Kairi's heart.I could tell by the hurt look in her eyes,but it was better than lying and leading her on,right?I opened my eyes,looking around the beach for a second,remembering what Kairi had told me.I could still hear those words,echoing in my mind.

(Mini flashback)

'"Well if it's Riku,I'd say go for it,because it's obvious he's into you,"she replied.'I blushed.How did she know it was Riku?I had tried my best to hide that fact.

(end of Mini flashback)

I blushed again,still having a hard time believing what she had told me. Could it really be true that Riku feels that way about me?I sighed,shaking my head.There's no way he would be into me.All the girls on the island were crazy for him.I opened my eyes,feeling like someone was watching me.It was Riku,standing in front of me,as if he'd known I was thinking about him.He sat down next to me,and I could feel the color rushing to my cheeks as I smiled weakly at him.

"Hey Riku,sorry about running off like that,"I said,apologetically.To my suprise,he scoffed at me.

"Yeah,okay.Don't lie to me,Sora,"he replied,"So,what's the big secret?Are you crushing on Kairi?I mean,if that's the case,why didn't you just come out and tell me?"he spat.Noticing that I was taken quite aback by his sudden outburst,he blushed slightly,but his firm gaze remained.'Damnit,I wonder why he's so pissed?'I thought to myself.

"Why would you think I like Kairi?"I asked,"Just because I decided to confide in her once doesn't mean that I have those kinds of feelings for her!"I found myself shouting.It was Riku's turn to look suprised.His silver hair swayed in the slight breeze from the sea.

"Oh come off it,Sora,"he started,"I know; you took her to the papou tree,didn't you?You must've wanted to share a papou with her after listening to Selphie tell you about that legend,"he glared at me,his aquamarine eyes had a slightly redish glow in them,from the sunset,as I sat there,practically speachless.Finally,I mustered up the courage to speak.

"I didn't share a fruit with her,Riku.What's your problem,huh?Are you jealous or something?"I clapped my hands over my mouth after the last sentence.Why did I have to say that.

"I..I'm sorry,"I tried to apologize,but it was too late.Riku gave me an icy glare,before storming off.Sighing,I rested my chin in my hands,and tried to think of a way to fix our misunderstanding,but deep down,I think maybe I had hoped it would make him jealous.I sat on the beach for a while,after Riku left.Maybe it was time to tell him the truth,no matter what happened,I couldn't lie to him anymore.

Feeling better now that I had decided to tell the truth,I figured it was time to head home.I had a big day coming up.Hurrying home,I apologized to mom for being late,took my shower,and attempted to find a peaceful dream.

Riku's POV

"I..I'm sorry,"Sora stuttered slightly,but I was not going to accept it.His words stung,only because it was the truth.'I am jealous of Kairi,Sora,'I thought,but I wouldn't admit that to him,especially after he had made his choice.He practically admitted that they had gone to the papou tree.Without even listening to his apology,I got up and left.I couldn't stand the fact that he had lied to me,so I decided to ask Kairi.

I walked to the mayor's house,where Kairi was staying.When the mayor answered,he automatically knew I was there for her.Inviting me in,he climbed the stairs to call for her.It was the first time I had ever seen the inside of the house,but it was very nice.The walls were all painted a deep crimson color,with pink rose borders around the walls.The carpet was a pale pink, to match the roses,and the couch was black leather,but it was very comfy.I looked up,hearing footsteps.

"Oh,Riku,"she said, smiling as cheerful as ever.Everyone on the island knew she was in love with Sora,even Sora himself knew.Her happy nature was a sure sign that something had happened,but I wanted her to be the one to tell me.Besides,I wasn't telling her that I already saw Sora on the beach.

"So,where did you two run off to?"I asked,trying to remain calm,and to not sound too accusing.Kairi blushed and stared at the floor.I could tell that something happened between them.

"Well,when Sora dragged me off,we ended up over by the huge papou tree,"she replied,not looking up.I shook my head slightly,urging her to continue,but not saying a word.I was right.Sora had lied to me.

"I thought he was going to ask me to share a papou with him...,"she started,but I interrupted.I could see the tears forming in her eyes.

"But you didn't?"I asked,kind of confused.'Oh my God!I yelled at Sora..'I thought,'Wait a minute,he probably told Kairi not to tell anyone yet.I was such an idiot to not see through her act.

"Don't lie to me,please,"I said,trying to supress the jealousy and hurt I was feeling.Kairi gave me a confused look,but I wasn't going to fall for the innocent act again.

"Sora put you up to this,didn't he,"I almost yelled.She started to interrupt,but I continued,"Nice acting,so where'd you learn to cry on cue like that?"I asked coldly,as I saw a glimmer of water begin to fall from her eyes,as she glared at me.

"You shouldn't jump to conclusions,Riku.I was going to tell you what happened,and what Sora told me,but if you're going to be an irrational jerk about the fact that Sora told me a secret for once and not you,I'm not going to tell you,"she yelled.I was caught off guard by something stinging across my face,when I realized that she had smacked me.Before I could get another word in,she ran up the stairs to her room,crying.

I decided that it was time to go home and think things over.Maybe I was overreacting and they didn't share a fruit,but it was too late,I'd already screwed things up.I decided to go see if Sora was still on the beach before I went home,but he wasn't there.I figured I'd apologize first thing in the morning,and I knew exactly how I was going to do it.I decided to go straight to bed,so that I could be up early enough the next day.I fell automatically asleep,finding myself lost in happy dreams of Sora.

Kairi's POV

I was sitting in my room thinking about what had happened with Sora,when Riku came.I was glad,because I wanted to tell him that Sora liked him.But when I got downstairs,he was being a real jerk.I yelled at him,and came back up to my room.Lying down,I tried to figure out why he was so angry.Then it dawned on me.

"He thinks that Sora and I shared a..."I muttered softly,trailing off.I felt a little guilty,but he never even attempted to listen to me so I shook off the feeling.'Maybe I should let him think that we did,even though it's kind of mean,'I thought,'But Sora might end up hating me if I do that,so I'll just try to clear things up with everyone in the morning,'I thought,as I shut off my light,and tried to fall asleep.

Not being able to sleep,I went over to the little desk in my room and tried to remember my home.I took out a piece of paper,and began to scribble on it,but I still couldn't remember anything.Maybe I wasn't as happy there as I was here,so I decided to replace all of my old memories with new ones.I thought about when I first met Sora.He was so sweet,always asking me to play with him,and his friend,Riku.I began to notice that whenever I was with him,my heart would beat wildly.That was when I realized that I was in love with Sora.Riku had noticed it too,and told me of his feelings for Sora,making me swear not to tell.

Sitting at my desk,I finally yawned.I put the paper I had scribbled on into the drawer,and went back to bed.Finally,when I felt like sleep was never coming,it did,bringing with it,sweet memories of my first month on the Destiny Islands.
