Summary: An accident forces the handicapped Sora to move to Twilight town where he meets a mysterious boy named Riku who happens to be a vampire. RikuSora REWRITTEN
Author's Note: To anyone that read the first version of this, I am sorry I just stopped writing. I had way too much going on with school and life. However, I am now graduated! I haven't written anything in forever, but wanted to start again. I hope you enjoy this rewritten stuff.
The sun shone brightly in the sky as a boy and his mother walked down the path of a sidewalk.
The boy had brown spiky hair that clearly defied gravity and all of the rules. His blue eyes matched his mother's eyes which were clear as night. Her hair was the same color, but fell straight to her shoulders.
Smiles plastered their faces as they left the park behind them. The children there could still be heard as cars passed them on the street. Birds were singing to each other hoping to attract one another. So much joy in the atmosphere at that moment, but it couldn't last forever.
As the mother and her son were walking at the crosswalk they did not notice the car speeding down the road. By the time the two realized what was happening, it was too late.
The woman threw her child to the side to protect his small body from the car.
A sickening thud hit the boy's ears as glass shattered everywhere. A sharp piece found its way into the boy's back instantly knocking him out.
A few days later, the boy woke up and found himself in a hospital room. He felt weird but couldn't pinpoint what was different.
A doctor walked in a few minutes after he woke up and saw that his patient was awake.
"Good afternoon, Sora. How are you feeling?" he asked in a calm voice.
"Different…" he said looking up at him.
The doctor nodded and sat down in the chair next to the bed. He gave a heavy sigh and was thinking of what to say.
"Sora, I regret to say that your spinal cord was injured in the wreck. You are paralyzed from the waist down."
Sora figured it out as he said it and tried to move his legs but couldn't. He was unable to say a word and instead just looked at the doctor for answers.
"I am also grieved to tell you the news which you will not want to hear. I am sorry to say that your mother did not make it and she has moved on. I know this is sudden and it has to be really hard on you. Your dad has made arrangements for you to fly to Twilight Town and live with him. We will provide you with transportation and assistance on your flight. If you need anything please let us know."
The doctor stood up and patted Sora on the head gently before walking out leaving Sora to take it all in at that moment.
"Sora, get up! It's your first day of school and we're already running late!" yelled his father's voice from the kitchen.
A year had passed since the accident. They never could find the driver seeing as he drove off after the collision. Every time Sora thought about the incident, rage filled him. Though all this time has passed, he still wasn't completely used to his wheelchair nor the change of completing a simple task.
He opened his eyes to another day. Though he was aggravated that he couldn't walk, he was also thankful to be alive though he would have to go to physical therapy for the rest of his life.
The brunet pulled himself up and managed to make his way into the wheelchair that was his legs now and forever.
With a yawn, the boy made his way to the bathroom to attempt to fix the mess on his head though it continued to be unmanageable. As he brushed his teeth nerves wrecked through his body. An entire year he was unable to go to school due to the rehabilitation and relocating.
After giving up on his hair, Sora wheeled himself back to his room and got dressed in the school uniform they had bought the day before.
It took him a while to get his pants on but he was taught how to do it without having to struggle too much.
After fixing his white collared shirt he went outside to be hoisted into the car.
His dad walked out putting Sora in the car and tried to fix his blond spiky hair that was almost identical to Sora's hair.
"Are you ready for your first day to school?" he asked getting in the driver's seat and starting the car.
Sora nodded as he stared out the window. He knew others would stare at him and question him why he couldn't walk.
"That's good. I'm sure you'll make friends in no time. The people here are pretty nice so that's a bonus."
"Dad, did you put the medicine in my bag?" Sora asked going through his backpack to change the subject.
"It's in the front pocket. Be sure to give that to the nurse so you don't get in trouble."
Sora's dad got into the driver's seat and drove towards the school. The two had moved to a house near the school in case Sora had to make his own way home.
They reached the school within minutes and pulled into a parking space to unload Sora.
"Thanks Dad," Sora said grabbing his bag and wheeling himself to the front doors.
"I'll pick you up after school," he said getting back to the car and driving off.
Once Sora was inside it wasn't hard to find the nurse's office. There were signs on every door making it easier for the students to get where they need without getting completely lost.
"Hello, may I help you?" said a calm female voice as Sora entered. She had long brown hair that was braided back to show her bright green eyes.
"Yes, I have medication I needed to give you," he said shuffling through his bag pulling out the tiny orange bottle.
She took the bottle and pulled out a filing cabinet putting the bottle in a white bag. "And what is your name?" she asked as she grabbed a sharpie.
"Sora Burton."
"Nice to meet you, Sora. I'm Aerith Gainsborough. Please come see me if you need anything," she said with a smile.
Sora nodded and left the office towards his designated homeroom and wheeled himself in a cleared corner. It was already expected that eyes would turn his way and stare. He didn't really care and just waited on the teacher to pass out schedules.
A girl with shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes walked over to Sora with a big smile on her face.
"You must be new to this school. I'm Kairi," she said sticking her hand out to shake Sora's hand.
Sora grasped her hand and gave a firm handshake as he introduced himself.
"I'm Sora and yes I am new here," he said smiling back.
Kairi tilted her head as she stared at his hair with confused eyes.
"Yeah, don't ask. My hair always does this and there's nothing I can do about it."
The girl gave a chuckle and saw that the teacher was passing out the schedules so sat down in her chair.
Once the schedules were passed out, Sora made his way to his first period class which was English. The professor had a long scar across his face that stood out making everyone in the small classroom stare at it.
"You can call me Mr. Leonhart or Mr. Leon. The material we will be covering will be needed for the exam you will take at the end of the year."
The day went fast as every teacher explained their classes to everyone and the requirements. Sora was just itching for lunch time. His stomach was never satisfied until he was basically puking up the food.
Finally, lunch came around and Sora made his way to the cafeteria. Kairi walked with him so he wouldn't get lost in the large hallways. As they were on their way, a boy passed the two leaving a chill down Sora's spine.
"Who is that?" Sora asked, turning his head around watching the male walk down in a different direction.
"That would be Riku. He's a genuine jerk who cares for no one but himself. No one really knows what his problem is so we just leave it at that."
The two ate lunch in silence surrounded by Kairi's friends.
"Sora, this is Namine my sister," she said as a blond girl walked over.
"Hi Sora. I hope you're enjoying yourself here. Not many people are able to get into this school and those that do are not too satisfied with it."
"It's a school. Not much to really expect. All schools have the same problems."
Sora had to meet with his counselor in the middle of the day to discuss if he was able to keep up with his classes. Though he was out of school for a year, he continued his studies at home.
The day passed on and when the day ended Sora made his way to the door but not without passing the boy from earlier. His strange silver hair caught Sora's attention as did his aquamarine eyes.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Sora could see girls following far behind as if they were spying.
"Right…Those evil things they call fangirls. So that's what one really looks like," Sora whispered turning his attention back on Riku.
"Be careful, Sorsor. Those girls are deadly if they catch you staring at Riku," said a quiet, yet familiar, voice.
"Sorsor? Where did you come up with that one Namine?" Sora asked turning around after a slight jump.
She nodded and put a finger to her lips. "You will encounter a serious debate with yourself, Sorsor. You will find that you are not who you really thought you were. Bye Sorsor!"
With a wave, Namine left out the door leaving Sora confused.
"I do believe that she needs to get her issues taken care of. What does she mean by debate with myself? And Sorsor? Just…no…This place is so weird," he said wheeling himself outside.
Just as promised, Sora's dad waited outside to pick up his son. The rest of the afternoon passed by uneventful.
"I'm glad to hear that you like your new school," Sora's dad said as he was cooking dinner.
"It's very…different but it's not bad for a school. The people there seem nice with the exception of one kid who seemed anything but nice. A girl told me about him…Riku I think his name was."
His dad dropped the plate on the ground and stared at his son.
"You are talking to a girl! What's her name? What about her phone number and address? I must meet her!"
Sora became confused at his dad's overreaction.
"Dad, chill. I'm not going to ask for someone's phone number the second I meet them," Sora explained.
"I see…Well maybe tomorrow," he said picking up the plate off the ground and putting it in the sink.
Sora shrugged and went into his bedroom to wait for dinner. He stared out of his window while thinking about the new school and how weird Namine and Riku was. He thought he saw Riku's aquamarine eyes, but when he checked closer, he didn't see them so thought he was dreaming.
"Why am I thinking of him so much and why does it matter?" he said to himself.

"Riku, you're going to give us away if you keep walking around at night," said a male with red spiky hair.
"Shut up Axel. I was just looking at the new kid in town. He seems strange."
"And like we're not! I mean we're freaking vam…"
Riku pushed his hand over Axel's mouth and shoved him against a tree. "You need to be quiet or you're going to get us in trouble. Dad won't be happy if that were to happen! I suggest you say nothing to him if you want to keep your fangs," he said releasing his brother.

Weeks had passed and Sora had managed to make Kairi his best frien. Sora began to see Riku more often as of late and always noticed him. Whenever the two passed, a chill would crawl up Sora's back and leave his heart beating fast.
Sora began to see that Kairi started show an interest in him. Though Kairi was cool, he wasn't into her like that, but wasn't sure how to approach the topic. Without wanting to hurt her feelings, he decided it best to avoid the conversation until the time came up.
School was difficult at first, but he grew used to it. He had to do extra homework in order to completely catch up with his classes.
One night Sora lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling as he began to think about the past weeks.
"What is going on with me? Why does my heart always feel like it's about to run right out of my chest whenever he passes? He is so…creepy…but maybe that's why…Maybe I'm….No! I cannot be. I refuse to believe that I might possibly…But that's just…Okay…So maybe I am gay…Namine was right. I am debating with myself…"
A groan passed his lips as he pulled his covers over his head and went to sleep.

It was midnight and only one house was lit. The house was the biggest in the town and very secluded from the rest of the neighborhood. Inside sat Riku doing homework but found that his mind was distracted elsewhere. Axel came up not long after and saw that his brother was zoned out.
"Don't tell me you're going back for the third time this week!" he exclaimed.
"Going where?" asked a cold voice from behind.
"Hey Dad. I believe Axel is just babbling on about something he conjured," Riku said cooly.
Their father was well known for fighting years ago. His name was Sephiroth and anyone who encountered him never forgot it. In reality, none of his kids were biological. Sephiroth found them all almost dead and so managed to change them before their heart completely stopped beating.
Riku stood up from the living room and walked to his room where he put his homework away. Sephiroth came in with a heavy sigh.
"What's been going on lately? You haven't been home as often nor have you done too much. Is something wrong?"
Riku turned around and faced his father with a straight face.
"No, just busy with school work."
Sephiroth lifted an eyebrow before turning back around. "If you say so," he said walking out letting his long silver hair drag on the ground.
Riku doubted that Sephiroth would believe him but didn't really care. He opened his window, from the third story, and jumped out making a soft landing in the grass as if it were on the first floor.
On his small walk, Riku could sense a familiar being nearby. With a smirk he calmly said, "Roxas, I can tell you're close. You might as well come out."
A blonde boy walked out from the shadows letting his deep blue eyes gaze at his older brother.
"It's been a while since you've been home, Roxy. Where have you been?"
Roxas growled and turned his back to Riku.
"None of your damn business. What keeps you in this town anyway? It's nothing but a stupid human environment."
Riku chuckled and turned to his brother. "It's funny how you say that when you are here yourself. Do tell me what brought you back to us? I can't wait until I tell Sephiroth that you're in town. He'll be so thrilled."
"No need. I was going back there anyway. I grew bored with traveling and testing different humans."
"I see. Go home and tell Dad that I will be back in a bit," he said starting to walk off from Roxas.
Riku found his way to Sora's house and realized that the small family was asleep. His sharp ears could pick up the sound of the faint snoring from both.
He couldn't figure out what it was about Sora that made him interested. The boy couldn't even walk!
After a few hours of watching the mysterious brunette, Riku decided to head back home. He hated the boy but didn't hate him at the same time. The new feeling was driving the vampire insane.
"Sora Burton…you are a different kind of human…" muttered Riku as he walked through the front door.
I did change a few parts, but wanted to keep it close to the original. It will probably be changing more drastically in the future chapters and take a different turn. Thanks for reading!
