Hey guys! First Kingdom Hearts fanfic… I've got 2 Naruto ones, so… well, that's all to be said about that! Haha… ok. Well, this is SoraxKairi, RikuxOC. And please, no flames or criticism unless if it's REALLY needed…
OC is me, Yuki Tsunatake.
Disclaimer- I don't own Kingdom Hearts or anything in my story except Yuki Tsunatake.
Prologue-thingy- After Sora defeated Maleficent and won back Kairi's heart, Destiny Islands have been pretty much normal, except for one thing. Riku went away on a journey without saying so much as a goodbye, only leaving a letter for Kairi and Sora telling them that he's leaving. Now, three years later, he sends a message to Sora saying that he is coming back. Kairi and Sora excitedly go to meet him, but Riku hasn't returned by himself. He has a girl with him, and it's not just any girl…
Sora and Kairi POV
Dear Sora,
Hey, how's it going? How is Kairi? Well, I've got news.
I'm coming home. Be waiting at 10:00 p.m. at the dock.
-Riku
Sora reread the note for about the tenth time that week. He couldn't believe it; Riku was really coming home.
"Sora?" Sora looked up from his place on the docks. Kairi was walking towards him, her hair blowing in the breeze. She came up and sat down next to him, nudging his shoulder playfully. Sora smiled. He and Kairi had become very close ever since Riku had left in his little rowboat three years ago.
"Sora… I just can't believe Riku's actually coming home," Kairi said, looking at him carefully. Ever since Sora had defeated Maleficent, he, Kairi, and Riku had become closer than ever before. But Riku hadn't fully applied himself to the threesome's friendship like he used to. Instead, he seemed much older and more distant. Kairi thought part of the problem was that even though they were best friends, Riku and Sora were old rivals. In the battle of the Heartless, Riku and Sora had gone on opposite sides to win back Kairi's heart. Personally, Kairi would've preferred that the boys work together to save her, but no, it had to be a competition that got pretty out of hand. But it was Sora that ended up saving the world, and Kairi had been overjoyed. And there was no question to why Riku was being a little colder to Kairi and Sora; he was jealous. Sora had saved the one girl that Riku had ever even thought of liking. But instead of Riku being the one for Kairi, Riku's biggest rival got the girl. So, one day, Riku just up and left, leaving Kairi for Sora. But now, he was coming home…
Riku POV
Riku pulled at the oars, his muscles straining to keep going. He was close enough to see Destiny Islands in the distance, and he fought to keep going. He panted, his breaths coming in short, sharp gasps. Glancing momentarily at the unconscious girl half-lying in the front of the boat, he shook his head, sending drops of sweat flying.
"Riku!" Riku grunted and painfully lifted his head up. He could vaguely see Kairi jumping up and down, waving to him.
"Riku!" Sora shouted, scrambling into his own rowboat and beginning to paddle out to meet Riku. Riku smirked, exhausted. Leave it to Sora to come 'rescue' him again.
"S-Sora…" Riku finally ran out of steam. He slumped over, his oars dropping into the ocean and sinking. His head sank on his chest and he fell, dropping over the girl, hiding her from view. "So-ra…"
"…Almost dead…"
"…Thought he'd never come back…"
"…wonder what happened…"
"…be okay?…"
"…Riku…."
"Hey, Riku!" Riku's eyes snapped open. He had been listening subconsciously to garbled voices for what seemed like hours, and his brain finally grasped onto life enough to get his eyes open.
"W-what…?" Riku stammered, rubbing his eyes with difficulty. His hands felt heavy, and upon looking at them, he saw they were covered with bandages. Then he remembered; he had finally made it back to Destiny Islands.
"Riku, are you okay?" Sora asked anxiously, clutching the bedpost so tightly that his knuckles were white.
"Oh, Riku. We were so worried about you…" Kairi said softly, stroking Riku's forehead. Riku felt a shiver go down his spine; even though he had found her, Kairi still made him go crazy. But instead of doing or saying any of this, he just nodded shortly and sat up.
"Where is she?" he barked, feeling lightheaded and irritated. Kairi looked confused.
" 'She'?" Sora asked. Riku sighed.
"Didn't you see the girl in the boat with me?" Riku said, sure now that he would be understood. Sora still looked baffled, and now a bit worried.
"Um, Riku? Th-there… was no girl in the boat…" Kairi said softly. Riku groaned, his head suddenly pounding.
"Uhnnn…" Riku moaned, and drifted back off into unconsciousness.
Yuki's POV
"…" Yuki slowly blinked her eyes, and suddenly sat bolt upright in surprise. It was dark, and her bed was hard and… swaying?
"I'M IN A BOAT!" she screeched, then clapped her hands over her mouth. "W-where a-am I?" she wondered, trying to stand.
"Oww…!" Yuki gasped and clutched her shoulder in pain. When she moved her hand away, there was warm liquid trickling down her arm.
"Great…" Yuki said, her vein pulsing. "I opened my wound AGAIN!"
Flashback
"Uhnnn!" Yuki gasped as her body hit the brick wall very hard. She slumped over, winded, and her shoulder ached and burned. Her eyes widened as she saw the bright red of blood. "Ohh…" and she promptly fainted.
"Hn." The thug who had been chasing after Yuki shook his head, laughing insultingly at the unconscious girl. "She just goes and sleeps! Well, my job's that much easier." He bent to pick up the girl, and his eyes widened suddenly, and then closed, and he fell over.
"Hn. He just goes and falls over. Well, my job's that much easier," Riku mocked, smirking at the dead thug. He walked over to Yuki and sighed. "Well, I always seem to pick up at least one straggler…" Riku bent over, picked up Yuki bride-style, and carried her to his hotel room in Traverse Town. He shrugged off his coat, set it down, and picked up a pen. He began to write a letter addressed to Destiny Islands. He was coming home…
End of Flashback
Yuki clamped her fingers over her shoulder to try to stop the bleeding, and began to stand up again, but slowly this time. Yuki ripped a strip of her shirt off and tied it over her upper arm over the cut. Yuki's slim stomach was showing now, and her shirt waved in the bitter wind making her shiver. Riku's coat, bag, and sword were still sitting in a little bundle in the back of the boat, so Yuki grabbed Riku's coat and wrapped it over her shoulders. Instantly, a cozy warmth engulfed Yuki and she smiled gently. She picked up Riku's bag and slung it over her left shoulder (Me: she injured her right) and grabbed Riku's Dragonblade in her right hand.
"Riku…" she whispered, staring at the sky. The stars were little pinpricks of light against a dark canvas, and Yuki smiled sadly, reminiscing about her homeworld. It had been lost to the Darkness, but hadn't returned, even though Sora had restored the true Light. That was why she had been in Traverse Town. Or so she supposed. When her homeworld vanished, Yuki's memory had as well, and the only thing she could remember was that she had been taken to Traverse Town. She couldn't remember who had brought her there though, and she didn't know where she had come from either.
"Heh heh heh…" Yuki spun around nervously. She gripped the handle of the Dragonblade tighter.
"Heh heh heh…"
"W-w-who's th-there?" Yuki stammered.
"Oh… don't you wish you knew little princess…"
Well, guys, I hope you liked it. Oh, just an alert, this ficcy is mostly on Riku and my OC Yuki Tsunatake. Sora, Kairi, and Riku may be a bit OCCish. Sorry, but it's for the 'flow' of my story.
Donald, Goofy, Mickey etc. may appear later on in the story, and if they're OCCish, I apologize for that ahead of time.
Peace, and Read & Review please.
Hikari
