Kingdom Hearts

Another Day In Paradise

"Kairi!" You called out as you ran through the sand "Riku!! Sora!!" You giggled and opened the door to the small wooden cabin that leads up to the bridge connecting to the curved tree. "Kairi! Gotcha!" You smiled seeing your redheaded friend "Aw..." she pouted as she stood up "oh well! I'll get started on the lists while you find Sora and Riku." You nodded and she ran past you. "Hm..where could they be.." your eyes scanned the area before you snapped your fingers "Oh! Soraaa! I'm coming to get you!" You eagerly made your way to one of the tree houses "Found you!" You giggled and your brunet friend groaned. "Aw gimme a break Hisa.." i grumbled before you offered him a hand to help him up "come on." He smiled and took your hand as you pulled him up. "Did you find me first?" He asked "nope! Found Kairi first. But I haven't found Riku yet." You mumbled and tapped your temple in thought "oh of course!" You quickly ran off to the cave "Riku!" You ran in and sure enough, there he was. "About time." He said still facing away from you "I was wondering when you would get here." You huffed and put your hands on your hips "aw come Riku, It didn't take me that long." You sighed and he chuckled before turning towards you and giving you a smirk "Maybe." He agreed before walking over to you "Found me last?" He asked making you nod "of course. Riku, always the best at everything." You mumbled, jealousy lacing your voice. "Come here, I want to give you something." You walked over to him and he handed you little a wooden paopu fruit. It was hand painted and looked a little funny but it was perfect to you. "Here..you already have a lucky necklace and bracelet. So..I thought id make you a charm to hang on to." You smiled and looked up at his embarrassed expression, Riku rarely lost his cool "just put it in your pocket." He cleared his throat and walked past you. You smiled and put it in your pocket before running after him.

"What should we play now?" You asked as you looked out to the sea.
"How about we start working on the raft." Riku said with an eye roll, an annoyed look on his face. "Why don't we do it tomorrow? The sun sets in an hour." Kairi suggested as she played with the little charm she was making. You sighed and plopped down on the sand "Riku, Hisa! Lets sword fight!" Sora said and you grinned "okay! You're on!" You and Sora began to tease each other as Riku stood up "fine, but winner doesn't have to gather supplies for the raft." Riku said before crossing his arms. "Hmm.. okay!" Sora agreed and you nodded "okay Riku, winner doesn't have to gather supplies." The tree of you made your way to the curved paopu tree. Riku tossed you and Sora swords. "I've been practicing— get ready to lose!" You giggled as Riku rolled his eyes with a playful smirk on his face "Yeah sure." The tree of you got into your ready positions "Ready?" You asked as the three of you exchanged glances. "GO!" The three of you yelled at once. Sora immediately lunged at you, Causing you to jump back. Riku came at you from the side, you easily blocked him before you felt Sora hit you in the arm "ow! Sora!!" You whined and he laughed at you before you tackled him. "Haha!" You laughed victoriously before you had to roll off him as Riku swung at you. Riku ended up nearly hitting Sora. You smirked and rushed at Riku, getting a few good hits on him. "Hisa!" He turned to strike you but you were already gone. It went on like this for nearly an hour, the three of you beating each other with wooden swords as the sky began to change colors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riku had won after knocking Sora off the elevated area and hitting your sword out of your hand. Even though you lost you were still proud of yourself for beating Sora. You and your three friends were by the curved tree, watching the sunset. Kairi sat closest to the top of the curved tree, Sora next to her and you next to him, with Riku leaning against the tree to your left.
"You guys ever wonder If we'll be like this forever?" Kairi asked. Something about that question felt familiar, like someone had asked it to you before and your heart hurt.
Unbeknownst to you, Sora also felt that the question was familiar and it too brought him sadness, but he was able to push it away. "Why wouldn't we?" He asked and Kairi shrugged "im just thinking.." she said shrugging with a smile on her face. You looked back to the sunset with a small smile on your face. This is where you belonged, On the island with your best friends. Nothing could ever tear you apart.

Or so you thought.
