Chu: Ehehe….what's up everybody? Sorry I haven't been able to update for a WHILE! Been having a lot of stuff going on with school and my mom and stuff. Oh and I will try to update on my Pokémon story. Again…I'm REALLY SORRY!

Demi: *sighs* Why don't you stop apologizing and start the story?

Chu: What EVER, Demi. Anyway, this is a Kingdom Hearts fanfic and it is RikuxSora. I guess there's a little teeny bit of SoraxKairi, but it will mainly be Shoenai. Okay Dem! Now do the disclaimer please!

Demi: Right. Chu does not own Kingdom Hearts or any of its characters.

Ch 1: Nothing's Changed

*Riku's POV*

'Nothing's changed, huh?'

'Nope. Nothing ever will.

But that isn't true. When I said that nothing had changed, I was lying to you. I'm the thing that's changed, or it's more like my feelings have. I spent a year in the Dark Realm away from the light; I came back and everything seemed to be much clearer...everthing about you that is.

I never really noticed before...was your hair always such a lovely shade of cinnamon brown? Was your skin always so slightly tanned? Your eyes such a bright shade of ocean blue? Your voice...I never really noticed how optimistic and cheerful you always sounded. Was your grin always so adorable? How could I not notice haw carefree you always seemed to be. Perhaps I was just...foolish not to notice.

I really can't help my jealously, Sora! It just usn't fair. I know that for Roxas and Namine' to be with each other, you and Kairi have to be together, but this burning ache in my heart always comes back when I see you with her. Why should she get the one thing that I finally realize that I need more than anything? Is it too late to have you as my own? I already know that you are the light to my darkness, but are you aware of that fact, my sweet little Sora? I confessed that I wished I could follow my heart, just as you do; please don't tell me that it's too late for me to try.

Ahh, you are waving for me t come with you (and...HER) to the palm tree to watch the sunset and talk. "Coming Sora!" I hear myself say as I run to catch up. No...Nothing's changed...nothing about this island and the others that is. Yes, I am coming, Sora...and guess what, KAIRI! I'm not going anywhere.

Chu: I know! I know! It's really, really short! I'm sorry. I wrote it down in my notebook and it was longer than this!

Demi: I'm quite sure that you won't be punished just because the first chapter of this rather.....interesting story is shorter than you are.

Chu: This coming from the guy who can't go through a doorway without having to duck?

Demi: .....

Chu: I knew you didn't want to go there. Okay everyone, please review. If you don't like it, that's fine and if you do but want to offer constructive criticism then please feel free to do so.
