Emo/Yami 37 Posted February 20, 2012 "Damn I'm gonna be late! I promised him I'd be there on time!" Riku said while sprinting down the hallways of the high-school the island teens attended. Crowds of teens trying to get to their next and final class for the day were pushed and shoved by the silver-haired boy. As he approached the exit, an image flashed in Riku's head; a young girl with short black hair holding a Keyblade. "Who was that? She... She reminds me of someone... I know I've met her once but who is she?" Thought Riku while the image of this mystery girl appeared in various spots of the island. Now about halfway down to the shore, begins to walk in place of running. In the distance, the red hair of Kairi, Sora's "unofficial girlfriend", could be seen flowing in the gentle breeze like the soft waters of the ocean. Sora was sitting next to her."Damn. I'm late." With an irritated exhale, Riku walked towards his friends, prepared for a long lecture about keeping promises. "Don't you think you've kept them waiting long enough, Riku?" a voice said. It sounded like Roxas or Sora's Nobody. "Hey! Since you broke the promise you made with Sora already, does that mean you'll break the promise you made with me?" Another voice spoke this time. Riku couldn't think of who it belonged to at first. The voice giggled. "I bet you don't even remember what the promise was." "Looks like you're in a tight spot right now, huh?" Roxas said. Another image of the black-haired girl flashed in Riku's head, this time smiling with Roxas while standing behind their mutual friend and "babysitter" Axel. "I remember now. I promised to never betray my friends again as well as to never hold a grudge against someone who I share a common enemy with. I also promised to keep an eye on him. Is that right, Xion?" Riku grinned slightly after saying the name of the once forgotten puppet. "Yep. You may have succumbed to darkness once, but you overcame its grip and managed to seal it away.Even though you struggled for one whole year with it, you managed to successfully walk your own path; the Road to Dawn. We met each other once after Roxas left the Organization. That's when you made the promise. It's been about half a year since then and Xemnas is back. Things aren't looking too good , plus I'm pretty sure Xemnas isn't going to let you go easy, especially since you and Sora beat him so bad last time." Xion answered. "You gotta keep it together. To keep them safe." Roxas commented. "Following the Road's going to be tough. Don't forsake your friends." "Got it memorized?" The three said together. "Got it." Riku said with a nod. Riku sneaked up behind Sora on the shore and put him in a tight headlock. "H-hey! Let go, let go!" Sora yelled while trying to wrestle himself free. After a few minutes, Sora managed to slip free of his best friends grip and glared at him. "Your late." Kairi said with her one hand on her hip. Riku gave a quiet grunt. "Whatever. I'm not that late. Besides, some stuff came up." "Like what?" "Don't worry about it." "Riku! You promised you'd be here before Kairi got here set everything up." Sora whined. "Yeah, yeah I know. It'll be ready soon." Riku replied while picking up a small stone. "What needs to be set up?" Kairi asked. No one responded to her and Sora continually kept gathering different things together. "Hey guys, what's going on?" "We're going to build a raft and take you to your home world." Sora answered cheerfully. "That didn't work last time. What makes you think its going to work this time?" Riku asked with a hint of irritation in his voice. "Cos this time we don't have to worry about crazy multi-world meteor showers." Sora countered proudly. "Okay, then. Let's get to it! C'mon Riku, you have to help too." Kairi commanded "Why didn't we just use a gummi block to teleport there? Riku thought while walking towards the ocean. Looking at the sunset; Riku smiled slightly. "Just like the one we shared." Riku and Xion said at the same time. "Good luck, friend." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
