A/N: So, this is a story I started… like forever ago when I told my friend I would write it for her, she doesn't even remember that night. This is totally AU and from my crazy mind.

Anyway, here's the first chapter.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I'm just playing around with the characters.


"Riku, please, stay with the Organization. We can help you more than the light can. All Light ever leads to is disappointment and heartbreak."

He just stood there, facing the general direction that Xemnas's voice was coming from.

"No, I don't believe that. Or you, for that matter, Xemnas."


Sora POV

I sat on the couch in my small living room, waiting for my best friend to show up. I have feelings for him that go far beyond that of friendship. "Riku, where are you?"

"Um, right behind you."

"Riku!" I jumped up from the couch and ran around to where Riku was standing. "Ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." Riku said as he walked to the front of the house to open the door.

"Can you believe that she's gone? I never thought we wouldn't be together. And then, just as we were starting our life together, someone kills her."

"Sora, do you believe it was just some freak accident? Because I sure as hell don't, I mean, we had both just turned down those job offers from Xemnas and the Organization. I wonder how far he would go to get us to work for him." Riku opened his car door and slid into the driver's sit.

He was wearing an all-black suit. So was I.


Riku POV

Poor Sora, he just married the girl of his dreams, only to have her ripped away. The Organization has something to do with his, I just know it. It's a little too suspicious that Kairi would be killed just after that meeting.

"You're right, Riku. It is odd. But maybe..." Sora just stared out the passenger window for a bit. "Do you really think that she murdered because we wouldn't take the jobs? I don't think that the Xemnas has that much power but I have been wrong before."

I tried to focus on the road but it was becoming more difficult the more Sora talked and the more my mind turned out ideas. "Sora, I think that the Organization has that power. Remember that big thing last year when Kairi turned them down and her brother was killed? All I can say is that I'm happy it wasn't you. They seem to kill the one closest to that person. They're like the fucking Mafia or some shit."

Sora thought about it and I let it sink in that we were in danger and needed to watch our backs a little closer.

I pulled up to the church and parked the car. After turning it off, we both sat and waited.

When it seemed that Sora wasn't going to talk, I said: "I think we should move in together. Just for now. And not just because of Organization but because we need each other right now."

"Yeah, sounds fine. Let's go. I want to get this over with." Sora opened the passenger side door and stepped out of the car.

Saying nothing, I got out of the car also and walked to the door of the church. Only to be stopped by Roxas...

Dammit.

"Sora, are you okay?" Roxas was standing by the door while Axel smoked a few feet away.


"Who's moving in with whom?" Soar asked a couple of days later. We had needed space after seeing our childhood friend put into the ground.

"You're place is small but it's bigger than mine, so I guess I'll move in with you. Is that cool?" I said, looking away from the book I was reading on Sora's couch.

"Yeah, you can have the guest room. That okay with you?"

I had been there for most of the day. I had missed my friend. "Yeah that sounds fine. When do you want me?"

The double meaning didn't escape Sora's notice, "Whenever you have the free time."

"Later today good for you?"

"Yeah, that's cool." Sora grabbed the TV remote. "Riku?"

"Yes, Sora?" I answered as I put my bookmark in my book and set it down on the side table. "What do you want?"

"Do you think that it's possible that I married Kairi for the wrong reason?" Sora changed the channel quietly. He looked over at me when there was only silence.

"Why did you marry her, Sora? If you think it was for the wrong reasons." I was slightly shocked. And even more confused.

"I don't even remember why now." Sora clicked to the next channel. "Why is there nothing on this damn thing? Fuck, I have like 800 channels and nothing to watch!"

"Chill, Sora. Geez. And what do you mean you don't remember? You were only married for one year." I said, getting up to go get something to eat from the kitchen. "What have you got to eat in this house?"

"There's not much. I have to go shopping. Sorry." I heard Sora pull himself off the couch and walk into the kitchen to watch me attempt to find some food. "She was working so much. And then she got the offer from Xemnas and then her brother."

"Its okay, Sora." I opened the freezer and just stare. Reaching in, I pull out a box of ice cream. "Sora, why do have 12 boxes of sea salt ice cream?"

"Roxas likes it! He was living with me for a bit but then he got together with Zexion. Axel likes it too. They come over a lot. Plus, I have some from time to time." Sora explained as he took the box and put it away. "Let's go together so we can have food that we both like."

"Sure, Sora." I grabbed his car keys and walked out the front door to his car.


"Riku, do you like-"

"Sora, I don't care what you buy. Just buy it and let's go. I'm hungry." I said as I pushed the cart away from him. It was about half way full and we were almost done.

"Riku, you're always hungry." Sora stated as he threw the peanut butter into the cart and walked past me.

I pushed the cart up until I was right next to him, and leaning down, I whispered into his ear, "Says the kid that can eat the whole jar in one hour."

He whipped around to face me; I kind of feared he would break his neck. "Hey! That was one time! And you know that was a dare from Axel!" he poked me in the chest and put a jar of jam in there too.

I followed behind him, careful not to run over his heels, I had done that once already, by accident, and he had almost killed me, in the middle of Winco. "Yeah, I know. But it was damn funny watching you with that spoon." And slightly arousing.


I grabbed my bag from the back seat of Sora's car and then a bag of food. Sora grabbed the other low bags. After everything was in its place and dinner was cooked and eaten, I sat in the second bedroom of Sora's house. I need to know.

"Hey, Riku?" Sora asked as he popped his head in around the door, "What ya doing?"

"Umm, well, I was thinking about starting the research that we need on Xemnas and the Organization" But now I want to talk to you. About anything, everything, us. I got up from the bed to stand in front of Sora.

"What?" Sora was tense. I wanted to touch him, even if it was just brushing against him when he walked by.

"Come on. We have to start researching at some time. Why not start now?" I grabbed Sora's shoulders to turn him to face the hall.

"O-okay. I g-guess." Sora stuttered out. I laughed quietly at him.

I watched as Sora pulled a keyboard out from under the TV and then hit a button on the remote. The TV switched from the food channel to a picture of cute puppies playing in green grass. Leave it to Sora to pick that as a background. He handed me the board and grabbed a little table from somewhere and put it in front of me. He took the keyboard back and set it on the table.

"Sora, I got it. I can do the research myself." I said as I made a shooing movement with my right hand.

"Okay." Sora started to walk away, towards his room, only to stop and turn towards me again. "Are you sure you don't need any help?"

"Sora, go away. Please." I was being nice in a rude way. At least I said please.
