Riku's P.O.V
A/N: Basically every chapter has been written from Tane's P.O.V, but I thought it would be a nice change to see what Riku was thinking/feeling after the last chapter.
As Riku stepped out of the portal he didn't even bother to check his surroundings. Honestly, he didn't even know where he was. He just needed to get somewhere else. Anywhere else. He had to think.. That couldn't have just happened. Tane didn't do that, did she? He had to have imagined it. Why the hell would he have imagined that though.. she was a little kid. A stupid little kid that he'd promised Kairi he would look after. And he was pretty sure that hadn't included kissing her. But even he couldn't deny, not even to himself, that he'd wanted that kiss. When he was stood so close to her, that fierce look on her features that made her appear like she could face anything, her smell that always reminded him of flowers, he couldn't resist that. And he knew what he'd said to her was true. If she hadn't kissed him then, he would have kissed her. Riku wasn't sure which was worse.
He finally decided to look around, causing a frown to appear on his features. This wasn't anywhere he'd been before. The older white haired teen stood in the middle of a huge forest, trees and vines almost blocking out his view of the sun. That was a strange thing in itself. Considering how sunny it had been on Destiny Island, he'd adapted to the darkness quite easily, and now it felt welcoming and right. But the sun.. was a strange thing, and he wasn't sure why. Walking towards one of the trees, Riku clung onto the branch closest to him and pulled himself upwards, he'd always used to race Sora to the tops of the trees back at home, and over the years he'd become a brilliant climber. After less than a minute he'd reached the highest branch he could without getting attacked by leaves and vines, and settled back against the tree trunk. It was a good place to be, he decided and he shut his eyes, taking in the sounds of the forest. He needed to think..
Unfortunately what he needed to think about was exactly what he didn't want to think about. That stupid girl.. How could she make him question so much. Ever since Tane and Kairi had arrived on the island, Kairi had become his best girl friend. She was amazing, and sweet, and not to mention pretty, and all Tane had ever been was Kairi's annoying little sister. She couldn't do anything right and always got in the way. But.. She was Tane. The annoying, but adorable young girl who was always trying to prove herself.
As Riku opened his eyes, sunlight flooded down onto him and he couldn't help shying away into the tree's leaves. What was he going to do? Just ignore her and stay away? Tell her not to do it again and she was a stupid kid? Or tell her he.. what? Loved her? Frowning he shook his head. That word sounded strange. The idea of loving anyone sounded strange In fact. But the thought of not talking to Tane, or ignoring her wasn't an idea he liked at all. Whether he'd promised Kairi or not, he would have protected Tane.
A/N: Ok, so a very short, quick insight into Riku's thoughts. Because this chapter was so short, another will be uploaded probably today aswell. Thanks to everyone who reviews, please review if you read, It helps Z-nugget xx
