I was thinking about making another SoraXFemale Character but I decided to make this instead...

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts...only a copy of the game, the stategy guide, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories game, Sora's Necklace and many magazine clippings of KH.

Summary: One rainy day changes everything for Riku. After running into a girl, is there a chance Riku can finally find someone like him?

Warnings: Meh...nothin yet...boys liking boys (mild)


If I were a guy, would you still love me?

Destiny Islands…

A tropical island with bright sunny days during the summer. But it was totally different in the winter. Flash flood warnings and high winds are what most people were scared off by.

The silver haired teenager wakes up hearing the light drizzle of rain pattering on the roof of the house. He pulls his comforter over his head, trying to fall back asleep. The rain begins to fall harder and harder as if trying to keep the 17 year old awake. He frowns angrily at the ceiling and sighs deeply. Another day in the small town of Destiny Islands. He yawns, stretching out his arms. As he gets up he notices a small note on his nightstand.

Dear Riku,

Since you wouldn't get up, I went to the city…

Mom

"Hmph, figures," Riku crumbles up the paper and throws it in the garbage. Yep, today was already starting to be a great one… His mom left without him again, to the city! She only cares about herself, Riku frowns at the thought. She doesn't even act like a responsible parent…

Riku gets dressed in a black hoodie and black baggy pants. He rolls his eyes finding a picture of his ex­-girlfriend in the pocket. She was just a waste of a minor portion of his life. She would always cling to him, hold his hand and go into his personal life. He rips up the photo and throws it in the trash. He walks into the kitchen and grabs a Nature Valley™ Bar. He sighs deeply, bored out of his mind already.

"Might as well go for a walk," Riku picks up a light rain coat and goes out side. The smell of rain soothes his emotions as he walks no where in particular. This place was like a ghost town. People barely even existed here, cars were barely seen. He continues down the sidewalk, eyes staring at the ground. He looks up from the sidewalk to see the person running his way. As Riku begins to say something the person runs right into him.

"Hey watch where you're-" he sees two beautiful blue eyes stare into his. Tears flow down the girl's cheeks. Her face is right near his.

"I'm s-sorry!" she quickly gets up and wipes her eyes. "I didn't mean to k-knock y-you o-o-over," she backs away from Riku as he gets up. Wow, he's hott…

"It's my fault, I wasn't watching where I was going," Riku puts his hand out. "My name is Riku."

She looks at his hand then backs up from him. Should I trust him?

"Don't worry, I don't bite," Riku says calmly.

"I'm Sora," she bows to him.

"Sora, that's a really pretty name," Riku puts down his hand and shoves them into his pockets. Few minutes pass until Riku breaks the silence. "Do you need somewhere to stay?"

"N-no, I'm fine," she states, then looks around her.

She sadly scans the environment. "W-Where am I?"

"You're on Destiny Islands," Riku says as he notices the girl's questioning look. "You're not from around here, are you?"

"No," she lowers her head. "My mom had found out I was dating a guy and drove me here…she's a good person but all the stress caused her to do this, I guess…"

As Sora continues to talk, Riku notices the bruises on Sora's face hidden by cover-up.

"How many times does she beat you?" Riku firmly states. Sora's eyes water again with tears, her lower lip trembles.

"…"

"It's okay," Riku comforts her. "Do you have anywhere to stay?"

She shakes her head, still looking into Riku's eyes.

"You could stay at my house…"

"…I…"

"Don't worry," Riku smiles softly. "Besides it's lonely over at my house…it would be good to have some company, again."

"Are you sure? What about your parents?" Sora asks, wiping her tears away with her sleeve.

"My parent is barely ever home, it'll be fine," Riku nods. "Just stay until after this storm has passed."

"…" Sora looks up into Riku's emerald eyes. "Okay."

Riku reaches for her hand but her draws back.

"You have to trust me," Riku says. "I won't hurt you…"

"I-I trust you…"


Riku lets Sora into his house. They take off their coats and Riku hangs them up on the coat rack. Sora insisted on keeping her hoodie on, though. Riku shrugged and took off his own. As Riku returns to the living room he finds Sora looking in awe at his home. He laughs silently, amused at her childish-like charm. He found her actually attractive…

"Why were you crying?" Riku comes up behind her.

"It's nothing," Sora turns away from Riku.

"C'mon, you shouldn't cry," Riku smiles. "You have such a pretty face and there's no need for tears."

"My mom does beat me, but I still love her," Sora explains. "She was so upset when my father died, the only way to treat her sorrow was to beat me and constantly drink…"

"Well, you're safe now," Riku says. Sora smiles softly, trusting those words.

"Do you need clothes to wear?" Riku asks. Sora blushes softly, realizing how wet her clothes were.

"If you have any," she says. Riku smiles and takes her hand.

"C'mon you can pick out some clothes," Riku leads her upstairs to his room.

"Thank you," she says. Riku opens his room and goes into the closet to find some clothes.

"Anything is fine," Sora calls to Riku. He pulls out a navy blue t-shirt and a pair of black shorts. Since he was at least a foot and a half taller the black shorts would be more of long pants on Sora.

"Here," Riku tosses the pants and shirt to her. "I'll be downstairs, while you change."

"Okay," Sora nods her head and smiles at Riku. "Thanks for everything, Riku."

"No problem."

As he leaves, Sora looks at herself in the mirror. She frowns slightly, pulling off the hood of her sweatshirt. Her hair sticks to her cheeks, outlining them softly. Her perk nose is tinted a light pink making her eyes stand out more. No wonder Riku said I had a pretty face…

"I look like a girl," Sora takes off his jacket. "I just wish I could Riku that I was a guy…"


Dun, DUN, DUN! Sora's a guy!

Next chapter:

"So who's your friend?"

"I knew she'd find me!"

"You're a GUY!"

Mizu: Please review...this chapter is pretty short, so I'll try to make the next one longer...THANKIES!
