Kingdom Hearts

Book I - Destiny Island

Chapter 3 - Jealously


Riku was in a particularly foul mood.  The village was buzzing with gossip
about the new stranger and it was driving Riku up the wall.  It didn't
matter where he went, all the villagers were chatting about Sora's heroic
deed and today was no different.  Riku walked around the village in a daze,
wondering who this new person was and where he came from.

"Hi Riku!"  Riku turned around in time to see Kairi running up to him.  She
was carrying a small bundle in her hands.

"Hey Kairi.  What's up?"

"I was going by Sora's place to check up on Evan."  Riku's eyes went flat.

"Is that his name?" He asked her rather quietly.

"Yeah, Selphi stopped by and let me know he was up.  Do you want to come
with me?"

"Ok, whatever."  Riku said rather nonchalantly.  He had mixed feelings
about meeting this Evan person.  They walked along in uncomfortable
silence.  Riku thought back to when he was a kid.  Things seemed so much
simpler when it was just him and Sora.  They use to do everything together.
Riku and Sora would do everything from playing pirates to exploring every
nook and cranny of the island.  As they got older, however, Sora made new
friends.  While Riku was good friends with Tidus and Wakka, he couldn't
help feel a little angry now that they didn't spend as much time together.

"Hey Riku, lighten up" Kairi's sweet voice intruded upon his brooding.

"Huh?" Riku shook off the daze momentarily.

"You alright? You're acting like somebody died."  She smiled sweetly at him
and he only nodded back, returning to his thinking.  Kairi was another
mystery.  She had come to their island a few years ago and he had never
been the same since.  Riku wasn't attracted to Kairi in the normal sense,
but more like obsessed with her.  Thoughts of where she was from and how
she got here buzzed around in his mind constantly.  He wondered how he
managed to get stuck on this boring little island and not somewhere more
exciting.  Maybe someday he would get off this rock he thought to himself.
Just him and Sora.

"Hello? Patty?"  Kairi walked through the opened doorway into Sora's home.
Patricia came out of the kitchen to greet the two children.

"Hi kids, what can I do for you?"

"We came by to see how Evan was doing."  Kairi sat down in the rocking
chair.  Riku was leaning against the doorframe, not saying anything.

"I'm sorry, you just missed him.  Sora took him to get cleaned up.  Would
you two like to stay for lunch?  I'm sure they'll be back soon."

"No thanks."  Was all Riku said and was out the door in a flash.

"Is he ok Kairi?"  Patricia asked her.

"I don't know, he's been acting funny ever since yesterday."  Kairi
shrugged "I brought some clothes from home I found, they look like they
might fit Evan."  She set them down on a small table next to the chair.

"Thanks dear, now why don't you help fix the table while we wait for the
boys to get back."  Kairi followed her into the kitchen, getting everything
ready for Sora and Evan's return.

Riku made his way towards the forest.  His fists were curled into little
tight balls at his sides and his muscles twitched with every step.  He
couldn't understand why he was so jealous, only that the thought of Evan
being anywhere near his Sora was driving him up the wall.

"I'll fix that little blue haired freak."  Riku muttered through clenched
teeth.  As he reached the start of the forest trail, Riku noticed Wakka and
Tidus sitting down at the edge of the path.  They were both red in the face
and breathing hard.  Riku stood before them with his arms crossed.  "You
were doing it again huh?  Wakka and Tidus stared at each other sheepishly.

"We were just messin around a little."  Tidus said defensively.

"Tch."  Riku scoffed.  "Ya'll are all over each other every chance you
get."  The two boys looked away in embarrassment.

"Hey man, no need to get nasty about ya?"  Riku didn't respond but
continued to glower at them.

"Where's Sora?"  Riku asked them.

"He's down by the secluded falls..." Wakka started.

"...with that new kid."  Tidus finished.  Riku's face darkened.  He stalked
off towards the falls leaving the two kids by themselves.

Riku stormed down the trail.  He was becoming more and more furious and all
rational thought was completely beyond him at this point.  He slowed down
as he neared the falls.  He was going to burst through the bushes and put a
stop to whatever may be happening, but his curiosity got the better of him.
Riku crouched down behind a few bushes and peered through the foliage.
There, in the middle of the lake, was Riku and Evan.  They were swimming
around, splashing one another.  Riku watched them play around for a time,
not really sure of what to do.  A few minutes later, Evan and Sora swam up
to the small waterfall.  There, Evan started to wash Sora's back and
something started to stir deep within Riku.  He wasn't quite sure what was
happening to him, but watching Evan running his hands all over Sora's body
seemed to send shivers running up and down his own back.  He was completely
fixated on watching the bathing boys.  Riku's breathing became heavy and
the front portion of his pants became extremely tight and uncomfortable.
He ran his right hand over the area, trying to relieve the pressure but the
action only sent waves of pleasure coursing through his body.  He repeated
the action, relishing in the pure pleasure it brought him.  He ran his hand
back and forth over the tented area.  Riku's mind was a total blank as the
raw sexual tension built up in his body.  Riku moaned softly as his body
went taunt.  His entire body exploded, causing Riku to crash foward into
the bushes.

"Oh shit!  What did I just do?"  Riku stood up. Looking at himself in
horror, he raced away from the area, shame filling his entire being.  It
was a few minutes later that a very terrified Evan and Sora came upon
Riku's hiding spot.

"W-what was that?"  A shaking Evan asked, but Sora only shrugged.

"I don't know," he said, searching through the bushes.  "Do you see
anything?"  Evan peered around the area, his eyes searching for any sign of
life.

"No."

"Maybe it was just an animal."  He tried to reassure Evan, though Sora
wasn't all that sure himself.

"Yeah, an animal." Evan muttered to himself, though he couldn't quite shake
the bad feeling rising in the pit of his stomach.  He looked at Sora with
an apprehensive expression.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you."  He said smiling.  "Why don't we head
back?  Mom's probably waiting for us."  Evan only nodded as he gathered up
his tattered clothing from off the shore.  Both boys dressed in silence.
They headed back towards the village; neither boy said very much as
thoughts of their encounter consumed them.  Evan wanted very badly for Sora
to hold him and comfort him, but he was too afraid that Sora might reject
him.  So he solaced himself in his own arms, hugging himself very tightly.
Sora didn't know what to say or how to express the jumble of emotions that
racked his mind and body.  So the two boys walked slowly back to the
village with the awkward silence filling the void between them.  They
reached Sora's home a while later, the sun was high in the sky and dried
the boys quickly.

"Mom! We're back!"  Sora yelled as he entered the doorway.  Evan stumbled
in after him.  Though he had become much stronger, his legs were still a
little too weak and his clumsy nature didn't help the situation.

"We're in the kitchen hon."  Patricia called back.

"We?"  Sora wondered outloud.  He put Evan's arm around his shoulder and
both boys went into the kitchen.  There they found Patricia and Kairi
sitting at a small circular table.

"We were beginning to worry about you two."  Patricia got up from the
table.  She walked over to the stove and turned it off.  Pulling two bowls
out of the overhead cupboard, she filled them up with the soup.  "Ya'll
took so long I had to put the soup back on to heat up."

"Aww mom." Sora groaned.  "We were just playing around a little bit."
Kairi giggled and gave Evan a small wink.  Sora pulled out a chair adjacent
to Kairi, letting Evan sit down.  Patricia placed the bowls at the table.

"Uh...mom?"

"Yes dear?"  She pulled the cooled bread out the oven and started slicing
it up.

"I'm not really that hungry, can I be excused?"  She stopped what she was
doing and looked at her son.

"Are you feeling ok?"  She asked with concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just not very hungry right now.  I'm gonna go down by the
beach for awhile."  Evan spoke up at this.

"Umm...d-do you want me to come with you?"  He asked Sora, his face full of
hope.

"Thanks, but I'll be okay by myself."  Sora left without saying much of
anything else.  He missed Evan's slightly hurt look.

Evan didn't eat much after Sora left.  He only twirled his spoon around the
bowl, thinking to himself how stupid he was.  He shouldn't have touched
Sora like he did.  Evan groaned inwardly.  Sora was so adorable and being
that close to his nude body was too much for Evan.  He couldn't help
wanting to feel every inch of Sora's body, trying to commit every detail to
memory.

"Evan,honey.  You have to eat, or you won't get any better."  Patricia was
deeply worried.  She had never seen her son act so oddly before.  She
wondered what might have happened at the waterfalls, but she didn't think
Evan would tell her.  "Kairi, why don't you show Evan the clothes you
brought?"

"Ok!" She replied enthusiastically.  Kairi grabbed Evan's hand and dragged
him out of the kitchen before he could protest.  Patricia proceeded to
clean up the kitchen while they were busy.  Kairi grabbed the bundle of
clothes from off the small table in the living room and took Evan upstairs
to Sora's room.  Evan moaned the whole way up as the stair climbing made
the muscles in his legs burn.  Kairi handed him the clothes and stepped out
of the room while Evan dressed.

"These clothes don't fit very well."  Evan called out.  Kairi came back
into the room, eyeing him critically.  Evan had on a simple pair of black
pants with a white cotton t-shirt.

"Well...its not much, but it'll do until we can get you your own clothes."
She smiled brightly.  "Now we just need to do something about your hair."
Evan looked at her suspiciously.

"What's wrong with my hair?" He asked her defensively.

"It's all tangled and a mess, hold on I'll be right back."  She ran down
the stairs.  Kairi came back a few minutes later with a long tooth comb and
a brush.  "Sit." She commanded.  Evan hesitated for a moment, but then sat
down on the edge of Sora's bed.  Kairi sat down behind him, crossed her
legs and pulled all of Evan's light blue hair back.

"OW!  That hurts!"  Evan cried out as Kairi attempted to comb out his hair.

"Sorry, just hit a small snag."  Evan's eyes teared up as Kairi found
another particularly stubborn snag.  She yanked a few times and managed to
get the comb through.  "So, what do you think of Sora?"  Kairi asked him,
trying to distract him from the pain.

"Uh...h-he's nice."  Evan grunted as Kairi liberated a few more snags in
his hair.

"Don't you like him Evan?"  She asked.

"Well, umm.."  Evan was flustered and didn't know how to respond to Kairi's
question.  Kairi put the comb down as she freed the last of the knots.  She
took the brush and started brushing out his hair.

"I think Sora likes you."  She stopped brushing as Evan turned around to
face her.

"D-do you really think so?"  He wasn't sure whether or not he believed what
she said, but he was hopeful that Kairi was right.

"Yeah, I've never seen him get so tongue-tied trying to talk to someone
before."  She gave Evan a reassuring smile.  "I'm gonna get you all fixed
up so Sora won't be able to take his eyes off of you."

"I don't know if this will work."  Though Evan was unsure of how to win
Sora's heart, he was willing to try anything.  They talked for a while,
mostly about Sora.  They became close friends and Evan let Kairi know how
he felt about Sora.  She let Evan know that she would help get them
together.  He felt much better after talking with Kairi, and couldn't wait
to see Sora again.

Sora was sitting on the sandy beaches near the ocean's tide.  He watched
the sun glitter off the ocean waves as it churned back and forth.  He
thought about Evan, his heart a jumble of confusion.  Was it okay to love a
guy?  What would his friends say?  Would his mom still love him?  Sora laid
back, putting his hands behind his head to use as a pillow.  Yawning, he
pushed those thoughts to the farthest part of his mind.  Sora turned his
attention to how Evan had made him feel.  Sora had never felt such pure
ecstasy before.  He enjoyed the way his body went numb from the powerful
release that Evan's hands elicited from his body.  The sleepy boy closed
his eyes, thinking of how much he liked Evan.  So much more so than anyone
else on the island.  It wasn't long before slumber took Sora back into the
world of his dreams, where something or someone was trying to prepare him
against an upcoming threat.

When Sora opened his eyes, he found himself back in the void.  He stood on
top of a huge circular platform.  There was a picture of a brunette woman
in a billowing blue dress.  The small staff he had dreamt about before
appeared in his hands.

"You've gained the power to fight" came the familiar hollow voice that
haunted Sora's dreams.

"Umm...What am I suppose to do with this?"  He didn't get a response.  Sora
gave the wand a few half-hearted swings, feeling a little silly.

"All right!  You've got it.  Use this power to protect yourself and
others."  Sora was bewildered by that response.

"Protect myself and others from what?"  The only answer he got back was the
dark shadow that appeared before him.  It rose from out of the depths
forming a small hunched over creature with a bulbous head and two golden
colored eyes.

"There will be times you will have to fight."  Two more of the shadow
creatures appeared.  Their movements were sporadic and their claws were
dangerous looking.  "Keep your light burning strong."  The shadows
attacked.  They ambled across the platform towards a very frightened Sora.
Sora didn't know what to think or do, but he cried out in pain as claws
meet flesh.

"OW!"  Sora backhanded the nearest monster with the mystic wand.  He sent
it flying across the platform.  "All right, time to get serious."  Sora
bent his knees, hunching down low to the ground.  He gripped the wand with
both his hands and readied himself for the next attack.  The closest shadow
launched itself at Sora, leaping high into the air, clawing all the way
down.  Sora was ready for it though.  He dodged out of the way and came
back at it with a few bashing blows.  The small dark monster disappeared
into nothingness.  He turned to face the remaining shadows, but they faded
back into the ground.

"Well, that wasn't so hard."  Sora was quite proud of himself.  He didn't
notice one of the shadows coming at him from behind.

"Behind you!"  The mysterious voice warned the smug boy.  Sora turned to
face the black thing, a handful of its buddies appearing to join the fight.
He tore into them, bashing left and right not giving them a chance to
retaliate.  When the last of them were gone, the ground shuddered in
response.  Dark sickly patches of nothingness appeared all over the once
beautiful platform.  It pulled at Sora, dragging him down.  He clenched his
eyes shut, desperately trying to fight the sinking feeling.  He flailed
about, but when he finally took a peek, he found himself on another stained
glass platform.

"What's with this place?"  Sora was exasperated.  "What do you want from
me!!"  He shouted into the void.  The hollow voice said nothing.  He
examined his surroundings, noticing a door on the far side of the platform.
When he checked out the door, he noticed it was extremely ornate, but
transparent also.  I can't open it Sora thought to himself.  The door was
solid, but it wouldn't budge an inch when he tried to open it.

"Now what?"  Sora looked around, seeing a small red chest where he was
standing a moment before.  He walked over to it and opened the small chest,
but there was nothing inside.  Sora looked back over his shoulder, seeing a
large crate sitting between him and the doorway.  Sora threw his hands up
in disgust.  What was this suppose to teach him?  He took his anger out on
the box, breaking it into tiny pieces.  A small barrel appeared this time
and he went after it like a madman.  He knocked it clear off the platform.
Looking back he saw the doorway wasn't translucent anymore.

"That was just a waste of time."  He muttered under his breath.  Sora
opened the door, a bright light issued forth.  It blinded him and when he
could finally see again, he was on Destiny Island, up in the large tree
house that overlooked the ocean.  He noticed his friends were there, Wakka,
Tidus and Selphie.

"Hold on.  The door won't open just yet, tell me more about yourself."  The
hollow voice was back.  Sora scratched his head, not really knowing what to
say.  He walked over to Selphie to see what was she doing here, but before
he could say anything she spoke first.

"What's most important to you?"  Although she looked like Selphie, she
didn't quite sound like her.  Sora thought about the question for a moment
before he responded.

"Friendship," was all he said.

"Is friendships such a big deal?"  Selphie asked him.  He asked her what
she meant by that, but she would speak no more.  Sora went over to Tidus to
see what he had to say.

"What are you afraid of?"  The Tidus look alike asked Sora.

"Being indecisive."  Sora responded quickly.

"Being indecisive?  Is that really so scary?"  Sora pondered Tidus's
response.  He found himself walking over to Wakka before he could really
answer that question.

"What do you want outta life?"  Wakka's question was a particularly hard
one and Sora took a long time before he gave his answer.

"To be strong."  He said to Wakka.

"To be strong, huh?"  After that conversation was over, the mysterious
voice came intruding in.

"You want friendship.  You're afraid of being indecisive.  You want to be
strong."  It repeated Sora's answers back to him.  "Your adventure begins
in the dead of night.  Your road won't be easy, but a rising sun awaits
your journey's end."

"Sounds good."  Sora said with a shrug.

"The day you will open the door is both far off and very near."  The island
faded away into nothingness.  Sora found himself back in shadow world.
More of the shadow creatures appeared.  They had Sora surrounded.  They
came after him with a vengeance, but Sora was getting used to fighting the
shadow creatures and it wasn't long before he laid them all to waste.  A
set of stairs appeared at the edge of the platform, leading far off into
the distance.  Sora ran up the stairs, panic starting to grow inside of
him.  When he reached the end of the stairs, Sora was on a much larger
platform than the previous ones.  He walked slowly across it, not knowing
what to expect.

"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes."  The
voice said to him.  Sora looked back in horror as he saw his own shadow
lift off the ground.  It grew larger and larger, becoming more twisted and
grotesque.  Sora ran for his life.

"Don't be afriad and don't forget..."  Sora reached the edge and nearly
fell off.  He had nowhere else to go.  He looked back seeing the dark beast
had grown to epic proportions.  It was taller than the biggest trees on the
island.  Its body was muscular and the face was covered with a mass of
coiling snake-like shadows.  It had a huge hole in its body beneath the
chest in the shape of a heart.  There was nothing left for Sora to do but
attack.  He ran after the huge beast and bashed at any part he could reach.
It didn't seem to take note of Sora, it simply ignored him as Sora bashed
away at it.  The monster gathered its hands close to its massive body.  A
huge dark ball of energy formed in its hand.  It plunged its hand into the
ground, causing the small shadow monsters to spill forth.  Sora did his
best to dodge the little ones as he hacked away at the big one.  There were
too many of the little ones though, and they started to overwhelm our
exhausted hero.  They kept Sora busy as the huge nightmare fell down on its
knees.  More of the dark energy gathered into the heart-shaped hole.  Small
balls of bright white light shot out from the monster, homing in on Sora.
He did his best to dodge out of the way, but some of them managed to find
him, knocking him senseless to the ground.  Sora was tired and hurt, but he
wouldn't give up.  He knew his only hope lay in defeating this monster.  He
gave it everything he had.  Sora smashed with everything he had, giving the
last of his strength.  Somehow over time the monster appeared to be
defeated.  Sora jumped back, his only means of defense disappeared from his
hands.

"Don't be afraid." Came the voice.  The dark monster fell forward, its
hands slowly sinking into the ground.  Sora fell back, trying desperately
trying to get away, but the shadows caught him.

"You hold the mightiest weapon of all.  So don't forget."  Sora sunk into
the dark depths like it was quicksand.  It covered him completely, the last
thing he heard before falling into unconsciousness was the hollow voice.

"You are the one who will open the door."
