"Don't you understand? You belong to me now."

"R-Riku..?" Confusion reflected in the crystal blue eyes of the brunette. He reached out to touch the silver-bars, separating him from freedom, and keeping him imprisoned. The silver haired boy, stared back at him, licking his lips as you do before you are about to devour a delicious meal. Unable to stare his best friend back, the brunette kept his head down.

"Let me out..." He was indeed scared, his best friend had never acted so strangely before, and to lock him away in a dogs cage, was the strangest of all his actions that day.

"Sora," His name coming out that way, caused chills to run up and down Sora's spine. He blinked, and looked back up at Riku. "I hope you like it in there, that's going to be your new room." Riku ran his hand through his silver tresses, and cackled. He turned to exit the room, leaving the trapped boy yelling and crying all by himself, in the dark.

>>Then

The sound of bell's rang throughout the whole school, it was an indication that Destiny High was dismissing their student's for the day. Teenagers all shapes and sizes filed out the front doors, in an orderly fashion. The quiet roads of Destiny's Island now became noisy, and the sound of laughter filled the air.

"Aww come on Riku, me, Kairi and the others are all going to the islands, why aren't you?" Complained the spiky haired brunette, he grabbed his friend's arm, and pulled. "It wont be the same, not without you." He smirked, trying his best to sound convincing. Riku pulled his arm free, and shook his head.

"Sora, I told you before, I'm going to be pretty busy studying for the finals. Something you all should be doing." He added the last part quickly, and received an eye-roll.

"Aw come on, the finals aren't for another two weeks! We haven't had lots of time to spend together, like we used to." Sora stuck out his bottom lip, and sighed. "Alright, fine. Go on and study. We'll be having fun!"

Riku just laughed in return. "And crying when the finals come. I'll see you all tomorrow." With that they all departed. Riku stood in front of the school building, waving at his friends, until he could no longer see them in the distance.

>>Now

Class was now in session. Late kids rushed into their classes, the early ones took the seat that they wanted, and the absent kids were well...Absent. The teacher's began their lesson, and the teens pretended to understand what they were saying.

Riku, who wasn't even pretending, had his head down and his eyes closed. The teacher noticed, but decided to not say anything. The lesson came and went within a blink of an eye, as did many of the other lessons and classes.

It was now lunch time. Riku didn't have much of an appetite and so instead of standing on the long line, he sat down. Hoping he would get some peace and quiet, he did as he did in many of his other classes, and layed his head down staring out the window.

Unfortunately a familiar red head approached him, with her lunch tray in hand. "C-Can I sit here?" Her voice was cracking, and it sounded as if she had been crying for hours. Riku sat up, and nodded. She placed her lunch tray down, and sat across from him.

Riku looked up at her with his blank eyes, but quickly looked away.

"T-The police were surrounding his house yesterday...His m-mother was crying..." Her red puffy eyes, grew teary as she talked about it. Riku reached over and touched her hand, to let her know that he was there for support.

"Kairi, don't cry, everythings going to be alright." He tried to sound reassuring, but it was very difficult in this sort of situation. Kairi pulled her hand away, and covered her face with them and began to quietly sob.

"S-Sora wouldn't j-just disappear like that...Right? H-He knows t-that we all love him...O-Oh Riku...It m-must be hard on y-you too." She stood up, and walked around to his side of the table, and sat beside him. Her arms went around him, in a comforting way, and he returned the favor. They both sat there, hugging onto eachother, and not saying anything.

Usually kids would point, laugh and make fun of kids hugging in a public place, but suprisingly, everyone left them alone.

----------

"Hey Sora, you're pretty famous." Riku walked into the room, and switched the tv on to the news, Sora looked up and his eyes widened at what he saw on.

"Please, Sora if you're out there, please come back to us...We miss you terribly." Sora's sobbing mother had her arms around a crying Kairi as she spoke. The reporter asked her more questions, and they answered as best as they could.

Sora looked over at Riku, who was lying on his bed and smiling. He grabbed onto the bars and shook them.

"Let me out! Riku this isn't funny! Let me out!" He shouted as loud as he could, but recieved no reply, Riku was too busy watching the rest of the report. Sora continued to yell, but pretty soon his throat started hurting, and he got tired of yelling.

"I'll make you something to eat..." Riku stood up, and climbed the ladder. Once he reached the top, he closed the secret door, and placed his rug over it. Then headed for the kitchen, and began making dinner. Just as he was setting things up on two different plates, the doorbell rang.

Irritated, Riku made his way to the door.

"Who is it?" He asked in a non-caring voice.

"Police."

To be Continued...

I can't believe I did that corny "To be Continued" line. Hehe. This is pretty fun writing. Yay for first chapter. Don't you hate it when you're thinking something in your head, for a pretty good idea, and it comes out differently when you try to write it down. Sometimes I wish that I could just think it, and it'll write itself down.
