Starting theme: Full Moon wo sagashite: Smile Smile
Riku sat on the odd tree and stared out at the horizon where the sea met the sky. She couldn't understand why she'd been like that with Sora. She didn't know him that well, so why did she fell like she'd known him for so long? And why did his touch make her squirm? What was wrong with her? She was so lost in though she didn't hear Kairi come up behind her.
"Riiku?" she said
Riiku didn't reply. Kairi walked up beside her and sat down. She looked at Riiku and could tell she wasn't all there, so she began to speak more to herself then Riiku.
"You know it's ok if you don't remember…" Kairi started "no one hates you for it…it's not like you asked to be here…" she paused before continuing
" I don't know what you're going through and I wish I did" she said "because I wanna be there for you…I don't know what happened back there, but I'm here if you need me."
Kairi stopped and stared out at the ocean. Riiku came back out of her head and looked at Kairi, who looked back. The two girls smiled at each other and laughed.
"You know I don't care if I ever remember…" Riiku said wiping a tear from her eye "My past."
"Hay, Riiku! Kairi!" came a familiar voice
The two girls turned around and saw Sora running at them with Riku bringing up the rear. Riiku jumped up and almost fell into the water below, if it wasn't for Kairi grabbing her arm. Riku was half laughing his butt off and half trying to pull her up by her wrist. Sora was in the water underneath her ready to catch her if the others let go by accident. Kami, Dawn and Ayame came running over to help too.
"OW!" Riiku cried as Riku tugged harder
"Sorry." He mumbled
Just then Kairi, who was pulling her other arm, slipped and lost her footing and fell. Riiku reached down and grabbed her hand. Kairi looked up and smiled.
"Ugh! Too-Heavy!" Riku cried just as his hand slipped
"AAAA—oof" Riiku cried as she was caught by Sora
Then Kairi came crashing down on top of Riiku and Sora toppled over into the water, with Riiku on her stomach lying across his lags. Riiku looked up at Sora, Sora looked at her and everyone laughed including Riiku.
"Man!" Sora cried "That was fun!"
"Yep!" Riiku cried

(Dream)
Her eyes spotted a
red haired boy, age 19, sitting on the railing over the train tracks
far be low, watching the sun set. His hair was beautiful next to the
orange and yellow and pink sky. She smiled slightly at the sight ,
and then looking up she saw a boy, age 14, with messy blonde spiky
hair, and deep blue eyes like the sea, she was lying on his lap. He
looked down at her and smiled, he had a genital hand that brushed the
bandage that was now on her forehead.
"Thank you..." Riiku
mumbled
"No problem..." The boy muttered back
"You know
you gave us a fright," The red haired boy said jumping off the
railing and walking over to her "I mean Roxas and I saw you fall
over, so we brought you here."
He finished and then began pacing
back and forth; he looked over at her every few minutes waiting for
her to say something.
"Um...ok. Well thank you for saving my
life, not that I deserve it..." Riiku said moving a bit
"Roxas
did the bandaging, I just carried you, and you're heavy by the
way," The red hair boy said "Oh my names Axel! A.X.E.L got it
memorized?"
"Um ok, Axel and Roxas. My names Riiku!" She
muttered
"Nice to meet you Riiku!" Axel said
joyously
"Yes..." Roxas said with a slight smile
Riiku
couldn't help but laugh as she sat up, she couldn't help but be
drawn to Roxas and Axel, and she couldn't help but think about the
death of Hayne, she couldn't help but cry and she just couldn't
help but be herself.
"Hay, hay why the tears?" Axel asked
looking shocked
"I'm-I'm sorry....I put you-you th-through
so much trouble!! I....killed H-Hayne!!" Riiku cried
"It was a
fight! He knew it was possible for him to die in it!" Roxas said
angrily
"R-Really?" Riiku sniffed
"Yes!" Axel said
sternly
with that she stayed silent for what seemed like hours;
she stared at the setting sun, eyes sparkling, and hair flowing in
the light wind.
"Why...why don't we be friends?" Roxas
asked
"Ya!" Axel agreed
Riiku looked at them then back at
the setting sun that had turned the sky a deep red by this
time.
"Alright...let's" Riiku said softly
(Dream End)
Riiku snapped awake. She looked around her bedroom and then got up and walked out onto the balcony. She looked out at the island on the other side of the ocean and smiled. Just then she heard a knock on her door, she turned around and opened it. There standing is the door way was Riku.
"…"
"Hey." He stated flatly
"…Hi…" Riiku mumbled
That's when Riku looked right into her eyes. He stared at her with his green eyes, which were so much like hers.
"Are you ok?" he asked in a stern voice
Riiku considered the question carefully and then smiling she simply said
"Yep."
Riku continued to stare at her; she realized that he didn't buy it. Riku looked at the balcony door that was opened.
"What were you doing out there?" he asked pointing to the open balcony doors
"Hm? Oh nothing just needed fresh air…" Riiku said looking at the balcony
Riku seemed to buy this one and nodded. Then saying good night again, he turned around and headed back down the hallway to his room. Riiku closed the door and leaned agents the back of it with a sigh.
"What am I going to do…" she mumbled to herself
She looked out of her bedroom window. She wondered what that dream was about. Who were those boys? They seemed so familiar to her. She sunk down to her knees and began to cry.
***************************************************
Ayame was standing on the beach waiting for Riiku to come with Riku. She looked out at the ocean and could see the town and houses of the people in the town. And up at the sun, which was rising higher and higher in the sky and Ayame was afraid that Riiku would not come. Just as she was about to head for her boat, Riku and Riiku pulled up to the dock. Ayame ran over to Riiku.
"Good Morning Riiku!" she said smiling
"Morning…" Riiku muttered
"Guess What!" Ayame cried happily
"What?" Riiku asked
Ayame grabbed Riiku's hand and took off down the beach with her. Leaving Riku looking disapprovingly as they ran off. Meanwhile Riiku was working hard to keep up with Ayame the best she could. Finally they stopped at the usual hang out spot for Ayame, Dawn and Kami. Ayame walked up to a tiny black lap top and motioned for Riiku to come join her.
"I did a search on your name in the people data base…" she muttered "But your name was not found…Riku's was…"
"…"
"Then I did a search on Riku's name in a different data base…," Ayame said, "But his didn't come up…your's did…"
"…," Riiku looked at the computer, "So…I'm not a real person?"
Ayame looked back at her computer. She didn't want to think that Riiku was not human and could not stay here on the Island. Ayame didn't want Riiku to leave; she would do all she could to make sure she doesn't leave.
"I did these searches to find out more about your past." Ayame said with a smile.
"My…past?" Riiku looked surprised.
Ayame nodded, "Yep!"
"…"
"What? Is something wrong?" Ayame asked.
"…no…" Riiku said.
Riiku got up and walked over to the opening of the cave hiding place. She looked out at the sky. Ayame walked up behind her and put her hand on her shoulder.
"It's ok…we just want to help…no matter what." Ayame said hugging her friend.
"Thanks…" Riiku said "I think I'll go find Riku, Sora and Kairi…"
And with that Riiku ran off down the slop to the beach below. Ayame watched as she disappeared around the bent. Then turning back to the cave she sat down and began working again.
"Ok…let's see what I can find." Ayame said.

"…" Ayame sighed.
Ayame bent over her computer at the words that cam up next on the screen. Darkness Twilight Town . . . Destroyed . . . all inhabitants dead . . . some may have got off in time . . . so far none have been found . . . The words striked as odd to her, why would they want to find the survivors?
"Unless," Ayame muttered, "they're planning on catching the survivors for something horrible…"
She looked out the small whole and noticed the sun going down. She looked at the laptop and knew she had to take it with her; she couldn't let Riiku see the info on it. Not until she found out what was going on. She ran over to the laptop and saved the work she'd found on it. Then picking it up she ran out the cave entrance.
**************************************************
Ayame was just in time to catch Riiku as she got into Sora's boat. Riiku waved, but Ayame was too deep in thought. Ayame climbed into her boat and began home.
"I'll talk to Dawn about this tomorrow…" She muttered to herself
