Riku's Yesterday

We were back from saving the worlds a second time. I was watching them from the docks. I was sitting there as Sora and Kairi talked on the paopu tree. Sora turned to face the sunset before he left with Kairi to go to the secret place. My silver hair whipped my face. I had been in love with Kairi. But I turned to darkness, and Sora had saved her from my darkness. It seems that we were never supposed to be together. I mean, I'm darkness and she's a princess of light. I put my headphones in my ears and hit shuffle.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, but now it looks as though they're here to stay, oh I believe in yesterday.

Yesterday by the Beatles. Perfect, it sums up what I'm feeling now.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be, there's a shadow hanging over me, oh yesterday came suddenly.

Yep, she took my heart, but never gave it back. I miss when we all used to hang out on the paopu tree and talk and laugh. That probably will never be the same, all because of my stupid mistake.

Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said something wrong now I long for yesterday.

I know why she chose Sora, she had already given him her heart. But maybe she just gave him her heart because he was light. I mean, if she suspected that I was going into the darkness, maybe she thought that her heart would be destroyed and she wouldn't be able to fix this mess.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play, now I need a place to hide away, oh I believe in yesterday.

Yeah, I'm hiding now. Before Sora and I had competed to show her that we liked her. I know Sora is her best friend, but I don't think he likes her.

Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said something wrong now I long for yesterday.

I wouldn't mind so much that she chose Sora instead of me if someone would hang out with me, they still do, but it seems that everyone has distanced themselves from me.

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play, now I need a place to hide away, oh I believe in yesterday.

Kairi came out of the cave with Sora, they were both smiling happily. They walked over to me.

"Riku!" Kairi called out "Come over!" this is odd, I thought they didn't like me anymore, maybe I was wrong. I walked over to the place they were standing on the beach. Sora put something in my hand, winked at me and mouthed "good luck" and walked away. I looked down to see a little paopu star in my hand.

"Riku, I-I wanted to tell you, I love you." Kairi said a little uncertainly, "I wanted to tell you, and I told Sora, but I had to work up my courage to tell you." she looked down, "I hope you feel the same way about me."

I said nothing, I just gathered her in my arms and kissed her on the lips. When I was done she looked up at me in shock, then her face split into a huge smile.

"Really? You love me too?" her hugged me and for the first time since we came back to the islands I smiled.

"Here." I said and broke the paopu in half and handed a piece to her. She smiled and ate it. As I opened my mouth to eat mine I thought, maybe yesterday is today.

*******HAHA! My second songfic! I bet this surprised you. I'm not really a fan of Riku/Kairi, but when I listened to this song that's what I thought of. Sorry I haven't been writing "what if Roxas wasn't in the organization" I have a lot on my mind lately. REVIEW! Nuff said. Oh, and I don't own kingdom hearts or the beatles.*********
