The Twilight Tale

By Angelics-d

Disclaimer: I never owns Kingdom Hearts series. If I do.. er… I'll make the secret ending to be Riku and Sora's 'special moments'? Then the next Kingdom Hearts series will be a yaoi love sim! -laughs unreasonably, got keyblades thrown at me-

Pairings: RikuxSora, Other pairings? Well, I have thought about some, but you should see it by yourself -grins, ran away before got whacked-

Rating: Ng... I think it's T.. but just say M for safety.. -sweatdrop-

Summary: Sora had waited long enough until he couldn't wait for his silver head friend anymore. So, he decided to go to Twilight Town in hope to find Riku. But there's something terribly wrong there..

Warnings: AU, Yaoi (Shonen-ai at least… That means boy loves boy and you know what will happen next), and there might be some spoilers from the Kingdom Hearts 2.

Ehm.. that's the warning. Don't like it? Feel free to click on the back button. You don't mind them? Then make your way to the A/N before the story, but it doesn't matter if you just jump right to the story anyway..

A/N: First, I think the title sucks..-started to kick and punch my pillow in irritation- And.. actually, I haven't play KH2.. I just happen to watch the videos and then this story popped up out of nowhere. This is my second attempt to make a KH story. The first one still needs to be fixed, so here it goes.

Oh, yeah, for those who're reading my GSD fic.. you have to be a little more patient for chapter 4. I just need a few more sentences to make the story right.. er.. well.. so, sorry to make you wait longer -sweatdrop- Okay, back to this fic, I just need 1 sentence for this:

Happy reading!

Terminology:

-manga : comic book

Prologue

Separation, Farewell

"Liar!" A 14-year-old boy yelled at his friend. The boy turned around and crossed his arms in front of his chest, blowing his cheeks as he tried hard not to cry. A silver haired one behind him could only sighed at his friend's antics.

"C'mon Sora.."

"I don't want any excuses." Sora countered hard. The older boy scratched his not itching head as he tried to put up the right words. His best friend's stubbornness was not something new for him.

"Sora, I also don't want to go.. but.."

"You can stay! Why not?" The shorter boy cut him loud as he turned around. His eyes silently pleading to his friend. "You can live at my house. We had spare rooms. So you don't have to.."

"Sora, listen to me." With that the brunette went silent as the blue eyes look at the aqua with a frown. "I'd like to. But I can't.. I can't leave my parents.." His voice was steady, but his friend could feel that he was as desperate as the tanned boy was. "Not now, Sora.."

"But you promised…" Finally he couldn't hold it anymore and began to sob. "You promised we'll always be together... You promised me!" The taller boy quickly pulled him in a tight hug and rocked him back and forth.

"There's nothing I can do, Sora." The sad aqua look at the boy in his arms. "I'm so sorry.. But I promise, I'll go back to you."

"When?" The tanned boy finally look up as his hands wiped the tears from his eyes. He felt a hope glinted in those words.

"I don't know yet. But I'll come back to pick you up. Then we could live together."

"Happily ever after.." There's a brief silence before the older boy busted into laughter. Sora frowned at that. "Hey! What's wrong with that! Usually it's there at the end of a story, right?"

"Yeah.. but.." The pale skin boy laughed some more. He tried to calm himself before he continued his words, "That's what you call a mood breaking, you know?" The other boy pouted, casting a smile on the silver haired one. He pulled him in an embrace again as he whispered, "We'll surely live happily. Just wait for me, Sora. I'll come back for you."

The spiky brunette nodded and hugged back. "You promise," he said, exchanging smiles with the silver head before they closed the gap in a soft kiss.

"I love you.."

"Love you too, Riku.."

-----------------------------------

"Okay.. jackets, toothbrush, towels.. Ng.. what's next?" A boy with spiky cinnamon colored hair asked himself as he eyed his suitcase. Then he started to picked up some more things, such as books-mostly manga- and games, then throwing them at the direction of his suitcase. He was lost in his thoughts until a red haired girl in pink dress(imagine her costume in KH2) came in, frowning at the scene.

"My goodness, Sora. If you keep that up, surely you'll ruin your suitcase."

Sora finally turned around to see that his suitcase was too full even for a pack of biscuits, yet the brunette still got some things that's bigger than books in his hands. The girl shook her head at her friend's antics. "Auntie is right to ask me to help you.." She said calmly, causing the boy to blow up his cheeks in response.

"Kairi.. I can do it by myself." The boy said as he started to tidy up his suitcase again. Kairi shrugged but obeying her childhood friend's words would be the last thing she do at the moment.

"And ended up wrecking your only suitcase? Right. Remember last time you got your bag tore up on the study tour?" The red head said as she kneeled beside Sora to help him. The brunette only rolled his blue eyes but didn't protest further. There's a nice brief silence as they got busy sorting the things until Kairi spoke up.

"Feeling nervous?"

Sora turned his head at her with a quirked eyebrow. "What's that about?"

"You know what I'm talking about. Or maybe.. I should say it as who I'm talking about." Kairi smiled playfully as she saw a blush started to creep on her friend's face. They knew each other long enough to understand that. "It's been two years..."

"Yeah.." Sora eyed the photo of him and a certain silver haired boy on his desk. He really missed his friend.. ah, no, that's not the right word. He missed his lover. He missed him so badly that he decided to enroll in Twilight High instead continuing his study in the local high school. He was really stubborn, and that made a miracle that he was accepted there. The whole Destiny Islands got surprised by that since the usual happy-go-lucky Sora studied hard just to get himself in the high school that was well known for it's difficult entrance exams. But his family thought of it as a bright side since their son became more serious in his study, not knowing the brunette's other goal by entering there.

"So you're going to stay with your cousin?" Kairi asked again as she quirked an eyebrow at Sora's wooden sword that was miraculously got inside the suitcase and took it out.

"Yup. Remember Roxas? He visited Destiny Islands on summer five years ago." He said as he took out a dictionary. After thinking twice, the spiky haired boy threw it to his bed, decided not to bring it.

Kairi frowned for a moment before her palms met each other in a clap. "Oh, that one! I remembered him. You two were naughty enough to exchange role once and no one realized it except..."

"Riku."

"Yeah.. Even though you two were using wigs that time." Kairi giggled as she took out a really thick jacket. She got protested by Sora before he was reminded that there's no way Twilight Town snowing even though it's winter. "Riku.. I wonder how he looks like now." She continued as she threw the jacket gracefully to the bed.

"Longer hair for sure. He never want to cut his hair." Sora chuckled as he threw another manga in the suitcase. But Kairi took it out and put it in his backpack instead.

"Wasn't that because you said that he looks good with long hair?" The brunette gave her another frown, wondering how she could still remember it when he himself barely knew about it. "Don't underestimate my memory." was all he got from those pink lips, making him groaned as he shut his suitcase closed. Thanks to her now his suitcase was much tidier than before but his bed was much more messy, terribly messy was the right word maybe..

"Oh, great. Now I got to do another cleaning." He fumed as he started to sorted out the scattered books. Kairi giggled at that.

"I'll help you." The red haired girl said as she picked up the clothes and put it in the closet. Sora gave her a thankful smile and the two of them ended up tidying the room until the sun was about to set.

"Well, you'll leave tomorrow, right?" Kairi asked as she clapped her hands as they finished their tasks. The boy was smiling in satisfaction before he turned to face his childhood friend.

"Yeah, I should leave in the morning so I will got there before snack time." Sora shrugged then sighed, "Since the other train would get me there at midnight." The red head realized the troubling glint on his blue eyes, she was about to asked it when he continued, "I wished I got some more time for.. you know.."

Kairi gave him an 'Oh, I see' look before she smiled and pulled Sora's hand. "I'll show you something."

Sora frowned in confusion as he let her lead him to his living room, only to gasp in surprise when the door opened with a loud "SURPRISE!"

There stood all of his friends. Wakka, Tidus and Selphie were standing at the front row, grinning at him. His living room had magically transformed so it was ready for a party. Some white cloth with 'GOODBYE SORA', 'FAREWELL!', and 'WE"LL MISS YOU' written on them was hanging on the wall near the ceiling.

The brunette opened and closed his mouth in attempt to say something. When nothing came out, he turned around to see his childhood friend grinning at him. "Surprise." She said sweetly and joined their other friends before turning around to the still-shocked boy.

"Oh, guys.. I.. I don't know.." Sora finally chuckled, a single tear slipped off his beautiful eyes. Who would thought his friends would held a farewell party in his own house! Moreover, without him knowing. He didn't eve heard them preparing it! "Thanks, guys. It really meant a lot.." That was all he could say before his friends beamed at him and started to attack him with hugs.

-----------------------------------

"It was your idea, wasn't it?" The cinnamon haired boy asked the red haired one, who replied him with an innocent smile.

"Yes? What are you talking about, Sora?" The boy sighed and slumped beside her on the sofa. His other friends were busy lining up to get their dinner.

"Selphie told me everything." The blue eyes look at the girl who gave a glare to a certain brunette. "So, it's really you."

Kairi chuckled as she held up her hands. "Okay, okay. I admit, it's me. I'm also the one who have to make sure you didn't get any hint about this party."

"And that's really successful." She smiled in satisfaction at the compliment and took another sip of her juice when Sora continued. "Thanks, Kairi. It was.. really great." He smiled gently at the red head who was looking into his eyes now.

"Anytime, Sora." She returned the smile warmly. "Friends forever."
