Behind the Scenes

First Mission

3rd Persons POV

Kit woke up the next morning as the sun’s rays poured through the window. She felt heavier than normal and through her foggy mind tried to figure out why. She wiggled a bit as her sleep clouded mind started to clear and realized that someone’s arm was across her. It was at that moment that she realized that she was next to something warm which made her twist her head around trying to follow the arm across her to its owner. As the cloud of sleep finally left her and her mind seemed to finally awake it processed the event of the previous day and she remember going to sleep beside an exhausted Riku. Said boy was still sleeping rather peacefully on his side with his arm securely wrapped around her small fox form.

Kit admired the fact that he looked as if nothing was wrong when all she saw was past torment in his eyes when he was awake. It made her curious as to what had happened to him, but until she was given the word that she could change forms freely in front of him her questions would have to wait. She reluctantly wiggled her way out from under his arm and tugged the cover up over his shoulders before jumping off the bed. She used a tendril of darkness to open the room door and close it silently behind her as she trotted her way down to Namine’s room. She used the same tendril of darkness to open Namine’s room door and found the blonde already at work on another sketch. In a flash of light Kit switched forms and walked over to peer over Namine’s shoulder at the sketch book.

“Good morning Namine.” Kit greeted softly to which the blonde placed her pencil down and looked up at her.

“Good morning Kit, did you sleep well?” Namine greeted and inquired with a soft smile as Kit studied the sketch she had started.

“Yes, Riku’s still asleep though. Did DiZ tell you I’m suppose to act like his shadow now?” Kit inquired as she walked over and picked up Namine’s brush.

“Yes, that also means you will be in your fox form a lot more now.” Namine stated thoughtfully as she held her hand out for the brush in Kit’s hands.

“Namine, what happened to Riku?” Kit inquired as she sat down beside Namine’s chair handing her the brush over her shoulder.

“It’s not my place to tell, but I can tell you the Riku is trying to make up for his past mistakes.” Namine informed her as she turned and started to brush Kit’s hair while Kit thought about her words.

“Is DiZ already up?” Kit inquired as her ears caught the sound of bed springs protesting against someone’s movements.

“He woke me up this morning before dawn.” Namine informed Kit as her ears twitched and turned ever so slightly.

“Riku must be awake then.” Kit voiced her thoughts as Namine set her hand on top of her head.

“Let’s finish your hair, and then you can go track him down.” Namine instructed lightly as Kit’s ears twitched some more due to the footsteps that were now resonating down the hallway.

Kit nodded and pulled her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them and then resting her chin on top. She was intrigued by Riku and the aura that resonated from his being. It wasn’t pure darkness nor was it pure light and it reminded her of her own heart, but where hers was balanced the darkness was the over powering source in his heart. Her heart had been this way for as long as she could remember and the question of how and why Riku’s heart was that way nagged at the back of her mind. Her parents, from what she could remember, never told her or taught her how to use the light and darkness in her heart and she wondered if she was doing what was right in their eyes. Namine tugged her hair back into a loose ponytail as she stretched her hand out in front of her and her keyblade flashed into her hand.
