If Only

Chapter 1: No, come back!

A boy, that looked to be eleven years old, stood by himself on a beach. His silvery-white hair that resembled the moon swayed back and forth as he looked at his surroundings with his aquamarine eyes.

"Where am I?" he asked out loud. The sky was dark and gloomy. The tides looked fierce and deadly. The wind howled like a wounded wolf. This place, this island, was his home. Destiny Island. But at the same time it wasn't. This wasn't the beach that he remembered. He remembered that everyday on this island were days of sunshine, not darkness. The wind was cold, and the boy grew frightened. He looked around again, looking for someone, anyone to run to so they could tell him that everything was alright. He spotted a figure about twenty feet away from him. He slowly walked to the mysterious person, hoping they could help him.

"Hello?! Can you tell—"he stopped in mid sentence when he recognized who the person was. There was no doubt about it. That cinnamon-brown hair that stuck up in odd angles, the sun-kissed tan skin, the pouty lips, the child-like face, and the one thing he could never forget—those sapphire eyes. Just looking into them makes him feel as if he could drown in them for eternity. He'd never forget such eyes, or the person they belonged to.

"Sora." Saying the boy's name tasted so sweet. But how could he be here? Sora had moved away six years ago! How could it be possible? Said boy turned to look at the other, a smile gracing his lips. "Riku." He said, just loud enough for Riku to hear. Riku began to run towards his friend, hand extended out, trying to reach him.

"Sora! Sora!" Riku cried out. Why did Sora seem to be getting farther and farther away from him? Why couldn't he reach him? Riku picked up his speed, hoping to get to the other. His feet hit against the sugar-like sand hard with each step, struggling to catch his friend. Sora still stood in his place, his own hand extending out to Riku, waiting for him to grasp it with his own. "Riku." He called out again, over and over.

"I'm coming Sora!" Riku shouted. He kept running, not slowing down whatsoever. Bur no matter how hard he ran, his friend was getting further and further out of his reach. Sora gave Riku a toothy grin before he slow started to fade away.

"No! Sora! Please wait!" After what seemed like an eternity, he finally reached his destination, only to see that he was too late. "Sora! No! Please, come back!" Riku fell to his knees, grabbing a fistful of sand as he cried. "Come back. Please, Sora. Come back." He sobbed over and over.

"—ku." Riku looked up. "Huh?" he sniffed and slowly stood up. "S-Sora?" he called out. "-iku…" There it was again! "Sora?!" he looked from left to right, hoping to spot his friend.

"RIKU!!!" a voice yelled.

"Wahhhh!!!!" another voice cried as they were flipped over their bed and hit the floor face first. Riku looked up from the floor, glaring at a man that had silver hair like his and mako green eyes. "What the fuck Sephiroth?!" He yelled. The one that was now identified to be Sephiroth looked down at Riku with annoyance.

"Don't give me that look. I've been trying to wake you for the past ten minutes and you would even so much as budge." He said crossing his arms over his chest. Sephiroth looked like an older version of Riku, except his hair went up to the back of his knees, where as to Riku's hair went a little ways past his shoulders. Riku glanced at his clock that was on his dresser to his left. His eyes grew wide.

7:15

"Shit!!" Riku scrambled to his feet and got out his toiletries, while yelling at his older brother. "Why didn't you wake me sooner, damnit?!" he ran to his closet to pick out his clothes for school.

"It is not my responsibility to make sure you get to school on time, it is yours. Next time you should either wake up earlier or put an alarm on that clock of yours." With that said, Sephiroth left the room.

Riku ran to the bathroom and slammed the door shut, locking it. "Damn him!" he cursed under his breath as he turned on the shower, getting in not caring if the water was warm yet. He quickly wet his hair and washed his well-toned, pale body. (A/N: You can stop drooling now. XD!) He took his shampoo bottle and squeezed a fair amount in the palm of his hand before lathering it in his hair. The smell of raspberry and vanilla filled his nostrils as he lathered his hair. Yes, it is a girl shampoo, but it smelled good and he liked it! Back off! When he finished with his shower, he turned off the water and got out. He quickly dried and brushed his hair. He then put on a pair of black boxers, a black zip-up tank-top shirt, blue jeans, a studded black bleat, white wrist bands, and a yellow and white vest. After giving himself an approving nod, he rushed out of the bathroom and headed downstairs into the kitchen. He looked at the table and saw his brother sipping his coffee and reading the newspaper. Luck bastard didn't have to leave for work for another hour. He looked to the clock on the wall.

7:25

"Aw, fuck!" Riku ran to the front door and put on his grey and black shoes. He picked up his book bag on the floor and ran out the door. The bus stop wasn't far, so he made it in the nick of time when the bus slowly halted to a stop at his bus stop. As he got on the bus, he took his original seat in the back, glad he made it on time.

"Hey, Riku! Wow, you look beat." A voice said. Riku turned his hesd to te left to stare at his friend, Axel. Axel was tall and very lean, but he did have muscle…I think. He had slightly pale skin and red hair. And no, it wasn't like your typical red head whose hair really looks orange, it was RED. Riku still wondered if that was his natural hair color. Axel also had stunning emerald-green eyes that seemed to be always dancing with mischief. Riku gave him a semi-glare, "Nah, ya think?" he snapped at him. He didn't mean to, but damnit he had to RUN here so he wouldn't miss the damn bus! You'd be cranky too if you had a prick older brother who woke you up late and had to run to catch the bus.

"Jeez, PMSing today, are we?" Axel said with a frown. Riku glared at him again, but decided to let it go. He really wasn't in the mood for this. He turned to look out the window. His thoughts went back to that dream he had of a certain brunette.

'How long has it been since I last saw him?' he asked himself. For those of you who are wondering, Riku had a best friend named Sora Yasashii (1). They had been best friends since like….like forever. The people at Destiny Island didn't know a day when those two weren't together. Sadly, Sora moved away about six years ago, and when Riku's friend told him the news about his move…lets just say Riku didn't take it too well. To put it simply, the two boys haven't spoken to each other since Sora moved. Why you ask? I don't know myself. Maybe the boys had too much pride or maybe they thought the other hated them, who knows? The bus stopped in front of Destiny High. The students all filed out of the bus and headed for class.

Axel and Riku walked to class together, the red head chatting away about hois weekend. "Demyx and I played a few pranks on his neighbor and the guy was like 'Cut that out you crazy kids!' and we were all like 'Make us old man!' and—hey are you listening?" Axel stopped his rambling to look at his friend. "Huh? Oh, yeah." Riku said with a not too convincing voice. "Then what did I just say?" Axel asked, taking his seat next to Riku as the entered the class.

Riku indeed had not been listening. So he said whatever came to mind. "Umm, something cheese?" he said with a questioning voice. "Wrong! Alright, fess up dude. What's on your mind?" asked Axel. "It's nothing. I just…had a bad dream." Riku said, looking out the window from his classroom. "Whatever you say, man." Axel turned around to face the board as the teacher walked in. Riku continued to look out the window, his thoughts drifting back to the dream. 'More like a nightmare.' He thought. Riku had been having dreams that had the brunette in them, all of them ending badly. He wanted to talk to the boy, but he just couldn't. What Riku said to him… he didn't even want to think about. Riku looked at the clouds from the window, a memory making its way into his mind.

Flashback:

Two boys sat on a oddly bent tree that had ripening fruit known as the paopu fruit. They were looking up at the clear blue sky, watching the clouds roll by as they said what each one looked like.

"That one looks like a turtle!" a six year old Riku pointed out to his friend.

"Yeah! I see it! "a five year old Sora said with glee. "That one looks like an ice cream cone!" he said, pointing to the cloud not too far from the one Riku showed him.

"Sora, you said the same thing last time." Riku told his friend, wondering why Sora always said the clouds looked like ice cream cones.

"That's 'cause I want some ice cream!" Sora said with a smile.

Riku laughed at his friend as he jumped down from the tree, extending his hand out for Sora to take. "Then lets go get some!" he smiled. Sora took Riku's hand and got off the tree as well and hugged his friend. "Yay! You're the bestest friend ever!"

: End Flashback

Riku chuckled at the memory, the cute face his friend had when Riku bought him ice cream. "Tsuyayaka-kun! (2)" the teacher, Saix-sensei, snapped. Riku quickly looked at Saix. "Yes, sensei?" he asked. "Can you be so kind as to tell me what the play, Romeo & Juliet, is about?" Saix asked, growing impatient with the boy. Riku has read the play before, and to him, it was just plain stupid. "It's about these two teenagers that kill themselves because their families didn't want them to be together." He said simply. "And what is your opinion on the play?" "Umm,do you want the truth?" better warn the teacher now, just in case. Saix gave an annoyed sigh, "Yes, Tsuyayaka-kun. Give me the truth." Well, Riku warned him. "I think it's dumb and stupid." He said, truthfully. The class tried not to snicker from Riku's answer. "And why is that,Tsyayaka-kun?" Saix asked, a little annoyed. "Well, I mean, c'mon! Two teenagers are gonna kill themselves after knowing each other for only five days just because they say they 'love' each other and their parents won't let them be together? The whole play is unrealistic." Riku said, matter of fact. Saix sighed again, "That's enough, Tsuyayaka-kun." With that, Saix continued his lesson with the class.

'Dumb teacher, making me answer a dumb question." He cursed in his head. Riku went back to think about the pretty brunette. Wait, pretty?! 'Since when did I think Sora was pretty?' he asked himself. "Since forever. You're in love with the kid!" his conscience said to him.'I am not!' Riku argued back. "Are too! If you weren't, you wouldn't be dreaming of the kid or thinking about him this much!" '……' Well, that stumped Riku. 'Stupid conscience, always winning arguments' Riku cursed. The little conscience Riku was doing a victory dance within Riku's mind. Okay, so what? He liked his best friend, er, ex-best friend. Big deal! It's not his fault who he falls in love with! 'Love, huh?' Riku brought his hand to his chest and clasped the object around his neck. It was a crown-shaped pendant on a chain. He and Sora had bought matching ones, saying that they symbolized their friendship. Even after what happened six years ago, Riku never took the necklace off. Yes, Riku loved Sora, but he'd never tell him that. Even if he could, he didn't deserve Sora…. Not after what Riku said to him. Not a day went by when Riku wished to take back everything he said to Sora on that day. If only he could take back what he said, if only he could tell Sora how he felt….. "If only I could see you again…" he whispered.
