Key To My Heart ~ A Riku Story (Kingdom Hearts)

Key To My Heart ~ Chapter 7

RECAP: 

Riku’s POV

   You looked up from your iPod Touch suddenly to see Maryx slumped over, her hair falling on her face.  Even asleep, she still looked beautiful.  'Although...she looks tense...how can someone be tense when they're not even awake?  It's like she expects someone to attack her while she's asleep."  

  Slowly, you pulled out your earphones and crossed over to where she was sleeping.  When she didn’t move, you carefully picked her up.  She stirred slightly in your arms, but didn’t wake up. Cautiously, you moved down the hall and pushed the door to her room open with your shoulder. You gently laid her on the bed, and brushed her hair off her face. She shifted slightly and sighed contentedly.  Smiling a little, you left the room and went back to the lounge to retrieve your iPod.

STORY STARTS: 

  Your POV 

  You sat up hurriedly and rubbed your forehead. ‘When did I get back here?’ you wondered.  You had woken up several times from your usual nightmares, but you hadn't even realized that you'd somehow gone to bed.  Kairi was reading a book in a pink sleeping bag.

  “Hey Kairi,” you said.  “Did you see me come in here last night?”

  She looked up from her book, which, you noted, looked a lot like your favorite.  “Nope, I must’ve been asleep.”

“Huh.  Weird.”  You leaned off the side of the bed and plucked the book out of Kairi’s hands.  “Is this mine?”

  She smiled apologetically, “I didn’t think you’d mind.” 

  You smiled back.  “I don’t mind at all,” you reassured her, handing it back.

  “What’s the time?” Kairi asked as she shifted a little.

  “Ummm…” you looked at your watch lying next to your pillow.  “6:15 am.”

  Kairi sighed a little.  “There's still loads of time before we land.  I can’t sleep now, though.”

  “Neither,” you agreed.

  “Might as well get up then.”

  “But it’s warm!” you whined.

  She laughed.  “You sound just like Sora!”

  “Ugh!”  You made a face, making her laugh harder.

  The door to the room opened suddenly.  “What are you guys laughing about?” Sora asked sleepily.  "What could be funny at 6:30 in the morning?

  “YOU!” Kairi said, and went off again.

  “Huh?” Sora looked utterly confused.  “You made me get out of bed for that?  I was warm, you know!”  Kairi was practically in hysterics now and even you couldn’t help smiling.

  Riku turned up next to Sora. “What’s with all the noise?”

  Kairi gasped, trying to recover.  “She…warm…Sora…got out of bed…he’s so confused!” she finished, laughing more and close to passing out.

  “What?”  Now Riku looked baffled.  “What’s she on about Maryx?”  You shook you head in response, still smiling.  “Yeah…well, anyway, I don’t think any of us can sleep now,” he stated.

  “But I was warm!” Sora pointed out again.  Kairi, who was finally breathing again, cracked up once more.

  “Gosh, calm down Kairi, your face is matching your hair,” you said, eyeing her locks. By the time she had calmed down the boys had left, and you had brushed your teeth, showered, and changed into a dark grey mini-skirt with darker grey shorts underneath, and a dark purple off-the-shoulder T-shirt.
