RIKU
Who is that girl?
I picked up a pen and began to write a letter to the King. I didn't know exactly what to write so I just put down that a girl entered our world and we don't know what to do with her. Before I could roll it up and put it into the bottle I found, I was called.
"Riku! I think you need to come look at this…"
I sighed and got up from the small desk of Kairi's. The girl was lying on Kairi's bed as Kairi clean her wounds. The girl's jean were torn and ripped all over.
She must have gotten into a fight…
She had scratches all over her. I took a second look at the scratches. They looked familiar, like little jagged lightening bolts. I looked up at Sora. There is only one kind of creature that makes cuts and scratches this nasty.
"Heartless….." I whispered.
Sora nodded. If there is one thing I know…. It's the Heartless. I've been one and it's not fun.
"Her world….it must've been the one we saw disappear." Sora said quietly as he watched the girl.
He was standing up with his hands behind his head, his casual stance. I smiled slightly.
"Maybe you should write the letter. You could probably explain everything better than I could."
Sora grinned at me. He walked to the desk and read what I wrote down.
"That is what you were going to send to the King?!" He said in disdain.
"Like I said before….you should write it." I said as I shrugged my shoulders.
I left the room and walked outside to the beach. The sound of the waves always made me feel better, especially at night. I sat down with the tide almost reaching me, like outstretched arms. The arms of a warm welcome and a feeling of belonging.
KAIRI
I gently wiped the blood from her wounds. She was very pretty. I made sure that after Riku left that Sora was turned around, then I changed her into a black silk dress that didn't fit me anymore. It was too small for me. I happened to see a mark on the right side of her hip, below her abdomen. Three circles and behind them were the three points of a triangle. Dots were on the spaces of the circles because they weren't quite full circles….. almost like a biohazard symbol.
"Hey Sora?"
"Hmm?"
I turned around and watched him finish his sentence in the letter, then his eyes met mine.
"She has kind of birthmark. It's three non-complete circles with a triangle behind it and dots are around it…. Three of them. It's kind of hard to describe…. But it looks like a bio hazard symbol, but what do you think it means?"
"I don't know…."
SORA
I turned around and continued the letter. I told King Mickey everything, from the moment we watched the world disappear to even the strange symbol Kairi saw. Then I rolled it up and put it into the bottle that Riku had gotten.
RIKU
I looked up at the stars. The ocean's waves made the perfect sounds for sleep…but I don't sleep. I can't. I was almost consumed by darkness many times. Most of it because of my jealousy and selfishness. I don't want it to happen again. I am terrified that when I sleep, my guard will be down, and darkness will take over me once again. This time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out. I've never told Sora that. He, for some reason, still looks up to me. I haven't quite figured out why. All I know is while he's looking up to me, I'm looking up to him. So I suppose we are building each other up.
I heard footsteps behind me and saw Sora holding the bottle with the letter inside.
"Do you want send it?" He asked.
"Sure." I chuckled.
I took the bottle as he sat down next to me. I threw it into the ocean and watched it slowly float out of sight.
"Sora?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think that she will have to stay here…like Kairi?"
"Maybe…."
