I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!:D And, more importantly, the tales of little supernatural Sora is too! This new story is filed with suspense, tension, heartbreak, mushy fluff and new characters that will have you on the edge of your seat every chapter! But, I suggest that if you stumble across this to go read "Nothing More Than A Whisper" first, if you haven't already. This story will make a lot more sense if you do so, kay?

Now, without anymore rambling, I present to you chapter one of "Moonlit Lies"!


Chapter One:

"Happy birthday, Sora!"

I took one big breath of air, and then blew out the eighteen candles on my chocolate cake, smiling from ear-to-ear as Riku put his arms around my shoulders, lips pressed into my hair. Able to shake off his clingy boyfriend, Roxas came over to pluck each candle from my cake, frowning as Axel took them out of his hands to lick them clean. "This is Sora's cake, asshole." He cursed, smacking the redhead on his shoulder and then going into the kitchen of our brand new house. And yes, by we I mean my twin and I and those two crazy people we call our boyfriends. Axel trailed after him, a crash and irritated growl following. It got quiet when Riku cleared his throat, the two coming back a little flushed. "Um, I… uh…" he swallowed. "I couldn't find a knife." Axel left to go to the back, leaving Roxas alone and quiet embarrassed.

"Huh?" I stood, leaving Riku as I followed my blonde brother in to our kitchen. "But I could have sworn I unpacked it today…" I trailed off, hands on my hips as Axel came in, holding the blade we sought after. "Where'd you find it?"

Axel motioned for the back of the house, where the bedrooms were. "Your room. Now, Sora, I'm not one to judge. If you and Riku are into that sort of thing-"

I grabbed the knife from his hand and pointed it at him, glaring, though I knew it probably wouldn't do much. I was about as intimidating as a puppy. "Shut up! How in the hell did it get in there?" I turned to Riku for support, but all I got was a just as confused shrug. "Huh…. Weird. Oh well. Let's eat this cake!"


The entire knife thing managed to push back in our minds, and with our stomachs full of cake, all four of us cuddled up on the couch in the living room, to watch a movie. Axel sat on the far right, Roxas next to him (in his arms of course), with me on Roxas' other side and Riku next to me, holding me in a tight embrace. Even though we had just moved in a few days earlier, Riku and Roxas made it clear we had to set up the entertainment system, including the Xbox 360, DVD player, TV and make sure every single CD, DVD and video game were present and accounted for. Axel and I had to do most of the rearranging and organizing, but were accomplished when we finally got everything in some sort of order. Now we cuddled up on the loveseat big enough for two people of Axel's size, managing to fit four grown teenage boys, watching White Noise and trying not to seem scared at all.

Except for me, that it; I yelped when something jumped out, nearly screamed when someone got killed, and just kept getting closer and closer to Riku as the movie went on. In theory, though, I really shouldn't be scared of this. It was nearly three years ago when I met Riku and the ghost of my ex, Marluxia. He was a sick, twisted son of a bitch, and on his last night on Earth, in this purgatory he was cursed, he took a knife and stabbed Riku before fading away. Riku could have died, but didn't, and I realized then how much in love I was. And I sound like some stupid teenage sitcom. Oh kill me now.

Roxas jumped and tensed a little out of the corner of my eye. Roxas is my younger brother, his hair a fine blonde and mine a dirty brunette. He's about a year younger than me, but with how much we look a like, sometimes we forget and just slap the "twin" label on. With all that happened last year and with Marluxia (that also includes my therapist, Mrs. Anna), Roxas managed to stay by my side, and hook up with my pyro of a best friend, Axel, a month or two before me and Riku did. It was strange at first, but in the past three years, moving from being an apartment with Riku to living in random spots with Axel and Roxas, I got used to it. They can be all lovey dovey as long as Riku and I can.

The credits finally rolled up on the screen, letting Roxas and I let out our held breaths, not even realizing we had. Riku smiled to me, and I smiled back, nearly growling when Roxas tapped me on the shoulder. "Yeah?" I asked, managing to put a little annoyance in my voice.

Roxas yawned, scratched his eyes, and then motioned to Axel. "We're heading off to bed. We'll see you in the morning."

"Try not to be too loud, you two." Riku smirked in Axel's direction, earning a half-hearted glare and a blushing blonde.

"Why don't you and Sora keep it down, hmm?" Axel stuck his tongue out, and then led the blonde into the back bedrooms. We heard the door close and a small click, knowing they had locked it. I chuckled, and then looked at Riku.

"We should probably get to bed, too." I told him, squeaking a little as he kissed me softly then stood, pulling me up with him.

Riku sighed, then left my place by the couch to the kitchen, searching for a bottle of water in the fridge. "Go on ahead; I'll be there in a minute," he called carelessly, his voice muffled. I didn't move, and when he came back in to find me, he smirked mischievously. "Sora, are you scared?"

I shook my head, a light blush sneaking over my face. "N-No… We both know that if there was anything in this house, I would have seen it by now." I argued. "I'm just… uh…"

The silver haired teen ruffled my hair, then took my head and led me down the dark hallway, turning off the TV with the remote. "It's okay to be scared, Sora. Really."

"I'm not scared!" I nearly yelled, then yelped a little when Riku pinned me to the wall and kissed me passionately, making me whimper and moan softly before it was gone, replaced with a smirk.

"You're so stupid." He mumbled under his breath, opening the door to our bedroom, and letting me go first, following after and closing the door. A click echoed around the room and I smiled to myself, turning to Riku. The moonlight flittered in through the window, giving me just enough light to see his viridian eyes so soft, and his smile even more so. He smiled nearly seductively, and then put his arms around my waist, bringing me close to kiss my neck.

I rolled my eyes, and then pushed him back a little, hands on his chest as I looked into his eyes. "Get ready for sleep, Riku." I told him, a small smirk on my face as I went over to the boxes of our clothes to look for my pajama pants. He huffed like a kid, then went to help me, fishing out my favorite pair of Chocobo pants and his own black shorts, slipping off his shirt and jumping into bed, a loud groan of frustration following. I slid in next to him, kissing his back lovingly, which made him turn over and look at me then grin and pin me to the bed, straddling my waist. "Riku…" I frowned, then caught sight of his scar on his chest, and ran a hand over it. My eyes slipped closed and I leaned my head to his chest, feeling his heartbeat. "I can't believe it's been three years." I spoke, no more than a whisper, but he heard me rolled off, holding me to himself.

"Yeah… But, at least it's all in the past." He was smiling at me, and then kissed my forehead. "Go to sleep. No doubt Roxas is going to start unpacking his stuff tomorrow."

I smiled sleepily, and then nodded. "Mhm… Night."

"Night, Sora. Love you."

"Love you, too."

The entire time, though, I couldn't help but shake this feeling I was being watched…


I woke with a start, still lying in bed, Riku rolled over to face the other way. My senses were on high alert, and I scanned the room before pulling the covers off my body and putting my feet down on the semi-soft carpet, silently treading to the door. The air felt tight and constricting, but I shook it off, turning the knob silently to go out into the hallway, seeing no one. I heard Axel's snoring from the next room over, the radiator kick in somewhere in the house and the gentle hum of the fridge in the kitchen. I smiled, sighed, then went into the kitchen, grabbing a glass out of the top cabinet and filling it with water.

A black shadow passed out of the corner of my eye, and I turned in a rush, eyes scanning the dark room with trepidation, looking for someone, or something to pop out at me. The room was empty, except for me, and I calmed down a little, turning to head back to bed before Riku noticed I was missing. Then, I heard it, a low, dark chuckle that chilled me to the bone, a small sound of footsteps coming up to behind me. 'RUN!' I demanded, but I was glued to the floor, unable to run and jump back in bed with Riku, and I started shaking. There was a sudden quiet, then I felt something behind thrown across the kitchen, nearly missing my face, but leaving a scratch on my cheek. The knife was laying next to my feet, a line of blood on the blade, and my mind finally booted back up, and I screamed, dropping the glass of water I held and scrambling as far away from the kitchen as possible, eyes wide and scared.

The light in the back hallway switched on, my eyes instantly locking onto it, and Riku came out, confused as hell and still blinking the sleep out of his eyes. "S-Sora?" He asked, and then noticing my scared look and the blood, rushed over without a second glance. "Holy shit, Sora, are you okay?"

Axel and Roxas came out after that, looking grumpy from behind woken up by a scream in the middle of the night. "Wha' the 'ell is goin' on 'ere?" Axel mumbled, glaring at Riku and I. "Wha's wrong?"

Roxas saw something was wrong, and then rushed over, kneeling next to me, as I tried to shake myself from my shock coma. "Dude, Sora. Are you okay?" He put a hand on my shoulder, feeling the tremors run throughout my body. "What happened?"

"T-There was someone in the kitchen!" I nearly screamed, my emotions finally catching up as tears ran down my face. "I don't know, and he… she… it, threw a knife at me." I shook my head, and then put it on Roxas' shoulder, gripping his sleeves. "There's something in this damn house!"

Riku looked worried. "Sora, there's nothing in this house." He was trying to calm me down, but the fact this thing was invisible to us was just making me more paranoid. "The knife probably just fell off the counter."

"And the scratch, on my cheek!" I asked him, unbelieving that he was just dismissing it as my imagination.

He faltered. "You probably just cut it on something and didn't realize it. It'll be okay, Sora. There's nothing in this house." The silver haired boy stood, and helped me up, and while Roxas and Axel were heading back to their room, he pulled me back, a look being sent to the kitchen. "Sora, what was it?"

"I don't know. I didn't see it anything. The knife, and there was a shadow, footsteps, a laugh…" I shook my head. "Riku… There's something in this house."

He frowned a little, and then kissed my forehead. "Sora, I'm not going to say your crazy, but there's nothing in this house. We both would have seen something if there was." Again, the paranoia of not being able to see it wasn't helping, and I sighed, giving into him a little. "I bet you just forgot about the cut, and the knife fell of the counter." He gave me a smile, and then entwined our hands. "C'mon. Let's go back to bed."

That was the last thing on my mind.
