Hey guys! This is my first Fic so i hope you all like it : ). It's based after Kh2 and after the mysterious letter that turned out to be an assignment that King mickey sent the 3 friends. Im sorry if it is a bit confusing or if its really mundane but i don't think that im very good at writing stories so this is just for fun. Please review and correct me if there are any mistakes in it... there will be popcorn and toffee pennies for these people :D

Riku's POV

"Nothings changed huh?"

"Nope, nothing will."

Riku remembered these words he had exchanged with Sora. He remembered the sound the waves made as they crashed against the shore, the way the wind caressed both him and Sora. Sora's perfectly spiked brown hair gently swaying and shining as the mellow setting sun blessed them with its presence. The sun slowly was burning Destiny Island in a soft placid yellow.

"What a small world," He remembered musing out loud. His eyes glazing over as he briefly glimpsed the horrors of what lurked in the darkness.

"But part of one that's much bigger," Snapping out of his memories all Riku could do was reply to Sora with a simple:

"Yeah…"

Riku wiped his eyes hoping to subdue the tears that were threatening to fall, only to find he was making things worse. He stared out of his bedroom window into the rain. Sora's face seamed to be silhouetted against it.

Sora…

Why did the king have to send for them! Why did Mickey call to them for aid!?Riku thought to himself furiously. Hadn't they done enough for the other worlds?!

His fist pounded against the glass on his window leaving a small crack in the double glazing. "Sora… I'm sorry…" Riku whispered as he finally succumbed to his tears.

Sora's POV

Sora was sat on the end of his bed staring into the floor in his room. The soft pitter-patter of the rain on the window was soothing his mind as he tried to block out everything around else him. He knew how empty he had become since King Mickey's last assignment…Which he didn't need to remember! He tried to remind himself, but failed as all his senses were ripped painfully into a flashback.

"SORA!" Kairi shouted, her hand reaching out to try and grab something other than the darkness. She was being dragged into a whirling pool of darkness fashioned by thousands of heartless. Blood was gushing out from multiple gashes across her arms neck and face.

"KAIRI!" Sora screamed. He tried running over to Kairi only to get speared on a Behemoth's horn. He shrieked in agony and clasped his hands around the base of the horn to try and push himself off only to slip further down. "KAIRI!" He continued to yell as he slipped further and further down on the horn that was drenched in his own blood…

Sora was harshly thrown back into reality by a voice shouting his name.

"Sora!"

"Roxas?" Sora's lips mimed. He was hyperventilating and covered with a cold sweat.

"Sora stop tormenting yourself!" Roxas whispered. Sora knew he was the only one who could hear him as the voice came from inside his mind. Sometimes Sora wondered whether he imagined Roxas's voice. The only time he could feel the blond boy's presence was at times like this. Where Sora was in distress from these constant painful flashbacks. Then he would fade back into nothingness that had taken residence in Sora's mind since the last mission.

Sighing, Sora walked into his bathroom and looked in the mirror. Staring back at him from behind the glass was somebody who looked like his own reflection. However, instead of spiky chestnut brown hair the hair was blond and more controlled, choosing to just spike up instead of in all directions like Sora's mop. The boy reflected gave a sad smile and put his hand against the glass. Sora copied the movements and found his hand was pressed against the glass at the point where both hands met.

"Sora, Kairi would want you to be happy. Don't do this to yourself." The reflected boy cried. Tears were falling down his cheeks and when Sora moved his hand to touch the reflected boy's cheek he found that he was touching his own reflection. He was the one that was crying. Was that a hallucination? Sora questioned himself inwardly, knowing that his voice would never reach any ones ears ever again. He shook his head, trying to reach Roxas's presence in his mind only to find himself engrossed with terrifying images of Kairi's dying face…

Sora woke up the next morning on his bathroom floor. The sounds of pans clattering against each other were rising up to his ears from downstairs. Sora looked around him and noticed that there were small droplets of blood lingering on the tiles from the night before. He smiled darkly to himself as he realised how pathetic he was. He couldn't even bring himself to slit his wrists deep enough.

"Sora! Hurry up your late for school!" He heard his mum shout before sounds of pans clattering against each other proceeded noisily. He took his phone out of his pocket to look at the time: 8:38 blared out at him from the corner of the screen. He sighed and realised that he would have to clear up when he got home from school.

Sora grabbed his bag and ran down the stairs, not even bothering to change from the clothes he was wearing the day before. His mum tried to stop him when he got to the kitchen to try and force some breakfast down him but to no avail. Sora just continued to run out the house ignoring her.

Sora winced inwardly when he ignored his mum. He knew how much his existence hurt others but he couldn't stop it. Sora wished he had the guts to end it last night. He started thinking about whether he would be able to end it tonight when he ran into something. Sora fell onto ground and looked up to see what he bumped into. His eyes widened when he realised it was Riku. But why didn't he react? He thought to himself. Oh no! Sora started to panic when he realised that maybe Riku could be angry. His eyes started to well up and he curled his knees up to his chest and waited for Riku's anger to spill out.

Riku's POV

Riku nearly fell face first into the floor when something ran into him from behind. He waited a couple of seconds to hear an apology to see if he could recognise the person but none came. He turned around to yell at the person when he received a shocking image. Sora was sat on the ground in the fetal position with his eyes staring at his shoes as if he was waiting for the world to end. Riku's heart nearly split in two when he noticed tears dancing in the corners of Sora's eyes.

"Hey champ," Riku whispered tenderly, kneeling down to balance on the balls of his feet. He ruffled Sora's soft spikes and brought his chin up with his other hand so he could look into his eyes. "Are you ok?" He continued, looking straight into Sora's eyes as if to try and find signs of life.

Sora nodded slowly and shakily tried to stand up but his legs did not seam to want to support him. This didn't worry Riku as with one swift motion he scooped Sora off his feet and started to walk to school with Sora in his arms bridal style. This gained shocked expressions from their classmates and caused several groups of girls to laugh in a giddy and suggestive fashion. Riku could see why suggestive thoughts would come to mind. Sora was in is arms, his head leaning against his chest in silent submission while Riku could tell from the way his own face felt that he had a determined expression on his face. Riku secretly enjoyed the way the small boy felt in his arms. He even enjoyed the way Sora's hair would tickle the bottom of his chin every time he took another step.

"Hey! Riku!" A voice called out; distracting Riku from every detail he could take in of Sora in his arms. He half turned to see Selphie running up to them both. Riku blanched and tried to continue but was stopped by Selphie running in front of him. She looked very concerned as her eyes fell on Sora. "Is he ok?" She questioned worriedly. She reached out to touch Sora's arm when she saw him cringe and burry his face deeper into Riku's chest and his arms swung around to hold Riku in a deathly tight hug. Riku gasped and started to run to the school before anything else could happen.
"Sorry Selphie I got to go take him to the nurse's office!" Riku said apologetically after glimpsing the hurt look on her face.

Sora's POV

Sora didn't want to let go of Riku when his friend lowered him onto the bed. So instead of his clingy hug he grabbed a handful of Riku's school blazer and held on as tightly as he could.

I'm sorry Riku… he thought to himself as he rested his head onto the pillow, still holding onto Riku for dear life. I'm always trouble for you and every one else.

"Hey Sora..." Riku started as he apprehensively perched himself on the side of the bed. "You are ok now aren't you? I hope I didn't hurt you earlier, it was my fault that you got hurt…" What was Riku saying? It was my fault. Damnit! I'm so much of a trouble that he has to lie to me!

Sora fidgeted on the bed and Riku could tell that he didn't agree with what he was saying. Sora looked up a Riku with sad eyes. Don't blame yourself it was my fault! Don't be all noble on me! He wished that he could speak but when he tried to open his mouth to say the words it felt like his lips were glued shut. Instead he bowed his head in shame and turned away from Riku. Finally releasing him and letting him go. If only I could do the same with this feeling in my heart… He let his arm drop to his side and he felt his school blazer fall up is arm a little before he moved it down hastily. I hope he didn't see that… Sora thought worriedly. He slowly turned back to face Riku and flinched from the look on his face. Riku's eye brows were knitted together and his eyes were cold as ice as he looked at Sora's now covered up wrist. His breathing was ragged and he looked like he was going to explode- which he did.

"WHAT THE FUCK SORA?!" Riku cursed, yanking Sora's arm and forcefully moved the blazer sleeve up. "WHAT THE FUCK!" He repeated with just as much venom in his voice. Sora winced and said nothing, looking up to Riku with pleading eyes. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF!" Riku continued, thrashing Sora's arm about wildly causing Sora's body to twist and jerk about. Sora did not resist. He continued to allow Riku to let out his anger. When Riku stopped Sora looked up curiously. His heart dropped when he saw the sad expression that had replaced the angry one on Riku's face.

"What happened," Riku whispered, "What happened to you got to try and think positive?"

Riku…i…I'm sorry … Sora tried to speak but his voice wouldn't come out. Instead he sighed and buried his face into the pillow and completely ignored Riku. After a few minutes he heard the door close and he knew that Riku had left him alone. He felt a curious pang in his heart when he realised this. Sora wanted nothing more than to shout for Riku, talk to him, to act like they used to before. As much as Sora hated to admit to himself, he didn't want his voice to fail to reach Riku. Just as it had failed to reach Kairi…
