Gateway
They stand in front of the gateway back home, away from the dream-world she's been trapped in all this time, hesitant in the moment before their return.
"This leads back to the world of light," Xion says. Her eyes are bright with wonder, but there is fear in her voice.
Riku smiles, stepping forward. "It's not so bad. Trust me. There's nothing to be afraid of."
He turns back to face her, holding out a hand. "We'll go together."
Xion hesitates a moment more before smiling and taking hold of his hand.
"Right. Nothing to fear."
Author: "And now I step forward to realize this wish..." XD. It was fun to write this one, considering all the shout-outs it has to varied scenes. Including, in a creepy/cool/cute way, the scene where Riku reaches out to Sora that's in both the openings of KH and KHII. Yeah. Only it's nice this time. And for Xion.
This would be the drabble dealing with the time Riku finally succeeds in bringing Xion home. And guess what Riku says when they wake up? Hee. Kairi's line to Sora at the end, of course.
"Welcome home."
D'aww. I wanna cry it's so cute. I seriously can't wait to draw this one, cause I can find reference for Riku's pose. :D
Thanks to Amatus for the review! I tried something cute at first, but it wasn't really coming out right and I ended up with that instead. I had two alternate versions... But one was too cliche and the other was plain creepy in a way. So I'm happy with what I wound up with. :) Hmm... That does sound interesting. I'd like to hear that theory sometime. (I love theories, in case you can't tell. XD.) And yes, yes it is. *evil grin* I'd love to see that moment, too. Sora asking Riku how exactly his hair became rainbow-colored. XD. Well, I'm going to get around to drawing it eventually. So I guess I have to decide by then. It'd probably be easier if he were shirtless, though. (Not that I want to draw that. Lol.) And yes, it was a very wierd place to start. I was really confused for a long time. I think I finally have things *somewhat* figured out now. Though playing the whole thing certainly helps. (And yeah, they're hard. And I tend to get stuck at wierd places, like the Cave of Wonders. I was really, really lost in that for a long time. XD.)
Anyway, see ya next time!
