Chapter 8
We both told eachother many of our secrets and childhood stories that night. We both wondered what would happen if we did receive hearts. I remember smiling and wanting to tell her so badly that I was a somebody but could I trust her?
That night he had awaken with her crying out for...him..? He opened his eyes and looked over at her. The moon was shining through the holes in tent; luminating her beautiful flawless face. He watched as raindrop tears made their way down her rosie cheeks. He inched closer moving his hand against her cheek wiping the tears away.
"Riku!" She started to whimper. "Don't...Don't leave me."
"Rose I won't leave you." He whispered; and soon inhaled when he realized what he said. Rose? Kairi's older sister?
Everything started to flood back into his memory. Rose was a girl that he hung out with everyday on the island along with Sora and Kairi. "Can it be true?" He moved a stran of hair away from her face. She did look a lot like Kairi.
Her eyes fluttered open. "Xe...Xenon?"
"Rose..uh...Marxlene." He rolled over to the other side of the tent.
"What..what was that about? Why are you over here?"
"I was going to wake you...you seemed to be having a bad dream."
"Oh," Marxlene moved closer to him taking his hand. "I was having one. I'm sorry if I woke you."
"Don't be sorry...What was it about?" Xenon looked at her curiously.
"It was about my old home. About my old friends." She looked at their hands sadly.
"Marxlene may I ask you something?" He leaned in and whispered softly into her ear.
"Anything."
"Why did you pretend to be a nobody?"
"Wh-What are you talking about?" She studdered staring into his dark eyes.
"I know who you are, Rose." He whispered into her ear.
"Riku." She whimpered closing her eyes.
"You do remember me." He grinned pulling her close into his arms.
She giggled. "Mhm. I missed you."
"How long have you known it was me?" Riku leaned closer to her; stroking her cheek.
"At the campfire. I saw your eyes from the flicker of the campfire."
"Is that right."
She went over and slipped off his hood; nodding. 'Yes."
The two of them conversed non stop until a shout came from the tents.
"SHUT UP!"
They started to laugh; falling asleep into eachothers arms.
