Sora finds a way to get nobodies their own hearts, but will Roxas be able to live without Axel? Takes place after KH2. AkuRoku, some RikuSora.

This is my new story I've been working on, no I'm not abandoning anything, but I will probably be working on this more that I promise for a little while, because I actually know where I want this to go.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of it's characters. I'm just borrowing them for a little while

Chapter 1

Sora wandered the beach of Destiny Islands, looking confused. He had been searching for a way to separate the nobodies from their somebodies, and have them each be complete. He had finally found a way and he was now discussing his idea with Roxas in his head.

"Hey! Roxas! I think that if we split using that special crystal I found, then you'll become a separate person and you'll have a heart!"

"Really? That's great Sora! I just…I wish Axel could be here with me… to get a heart too…ya know?" Roxas replied.

Sora picked up the sadness in his other's tone and attempted to cheer him up. "It's alright Roxas, you still have me, and Riku, and you'll still have Namine…"

"Yeah…thanks Sora." Roxas said quietly.

Sora could still hear the anxiety in Roxas' voice, but he was then started out of his conversation by arms snaking around his waist and pulling him back against a strong chest. He turned in the embrace and placed a kiss on Riku's lips. Sora wrapped his arms around Riku's back and they stood for a moment like that, together, just enjoying each other's company. Then Sora began to tell Riku about his findings. Riku smiled at the thought of his lover's idea. He knew how bad Sora felt for taking Roxas' free life and knew how excited he must be. Riku leaned down a little and pressed his lips to Sora's.

"It sounds like a great idea, I hope it works."

Sora grinned. "I'm almost positive it will, and then I'll finally have a brother to hang out with!" Riku glared at him. "Not that I don't love hanging out with you or anything," he said hastily, realizing what he had just said.

Riku just smirked. You'll pay for that one tonight…." He said, letting his voice trail off, leaving Sora's imagination to do his work for him. Sora turned a bright shade of red and he slapped Riku's arm playfully. Riku grabbed his wrist and pulled him in for another kiss, this one lasting several minutes, their tongues dancing together. When Riku finally pulled back Sora was out of breath.

Riku then felt something poke his leg and he smirked. "Excited are we?" He raised one of his eyebrows as he said this. Sora got a confused look on his face before realizing that something in his pants was poking Riku. However, he did not flush as Riku expected him to; instead he reached into his pocket and pulled out a see through red crystal in the shape of a heart. Riku stared at it.

What is that?" he asked quietly, gently prodding the crystal.

Sora smiled. "This is the stone I found, the Kesshou no Kokoro, the crystal heart."

It was dark on Destiny Island now, and though Sora should have been home an in bed, he wasn't. He had snuck out through his bedroom window and was now on the beach of Destiny Island. He drew a large circle, one large enough for him to lay down in, in the sand away from the rising tide. He then drew a star within the circle, with all of it's points touching the circle's edge. He sat down in the center of the star, holding the Kesshou no Kokoro in his hands. He then began an encantation.

"Bless me, oh wind and rain, and allow this rite to pass peacefully." He said quietly, hardly able to hear himself over the crashing of waves. "Hearts abound in light and darkness, lit by flames of passion. May this nobody within me take a body for himself, and a heart be made for him from the many surrounding him. May this stone act as a channel through which the hearts may go into him. May Roxas be whole this night."

Sora then lifted the Kesshou no Kokoro and held it to his chest, where he felt it pulsating, beating, like a true heart. It now began to emit a faintly glowing pinkish light. He felt a shiver run down his spine and he saw a body, Roxas' body, materialize in front of him. He then took the stone and placed it against Roxas' chest, where the light it was emitting seeped into his skin, and Roxas himself began to glow. He levitated off the ground for a moment before falling lightly back onto the sand, where he opened his eyes.

He saw Sora sitting next to him, holding a crystal above his chest, and he knew it had been done. He was finally whole. He was finally somebody.
