Chapter 3: Way to the Dawn
I headed upstairs and found Riku in my room looking at pictures. I knew that not only Kairi needed answers, but him and Sora as well.
“Hey, whatcha doin’ up here?” I smiled, he tried to smile back.
“I need to talk to you….” He started to blush. “You… ok?”
“I’m just fine. Maybe I should be asking you the same question…” I stepped closer to him, and now his face was a rose color.
“I know this must be hard for you… you reuniting with your sister and all….” He turned away, “I just wanted you to know that… I know you’ll be able to handle things…” Now his face was a bright red.
He didn’t really have to say more… this wasn’t about my sister… but me and him. It seemed like we were together for years… but it was just 10 months… and it seems like people want to tear that apart. He started to speak; I guess he noticed I was sort of dazed out…
“You… you’re very strong. And…. You have a beautiful personality; I feel that I can talk to you about anything, and….. You’re just amazing…” He put his head down.
“Is that all Riku? Is that what you wanted to tell me?” I spoke softly to him.
“Huh?!” he seemed surprised... maybe he was expecting me to cry? I haven’t cry since I saw Spirited Away… (Don’t ask)…
“No…. I guess I will never open my heart fully to you... when I really want to... but I can’t…. I refuse to be like this, you deserve more….” He looked sad now.
I decided to tease him a little. “Well, if you really feel that way, I’ve had a crush on Tseng since I was a kid and I’ll be 18 next year so…..”
“Hmm?!” he looked up, sad and sort of angry and confused at the same time. It’s nice to seem him out of character like this.
“No! What I really wanted to say, I mean the reason why I came in here... I was concerned…. I wanted you to know that….”
I smiled. I love you to Riku…”
Yes, I have been thinking about this segment for a while now… but enough about Raye, I’m sure you want to know how Kairi feels about this right? I’ll be switching between their views time after time (to make it interesting) and I still have to write about the mother, but that will also include sephiroth’s view... so this is going to be long….. Don’t expect chapter 4 for a while (health wise I need a break and im just being stubborn now because im still here ^^
I know its still confusing... Things will make sense soon ^^ (hey look at final fantasy 7; they had 2 games and a movie to sum up the storyline).
