::*~~*::

            It was so easy to fall.  Sora had not the intent for it, but it came so easily, and he felt no need to resist.  So he gave in.  The feeling was quiet familiar - he had fallen like this once before.  It had been when he shoved Riku's Keyblade through his heart in order to free the Princesses...  The darkness that was around him, that was all consuming... he fell further into it.
            It felt like an eternity of endless floating.  He wondered when it would finally stop.  It didn't take so long last time.  At least, it didn't feel like it took as long.  He remembered becoming a Heartless rather quickly, watching the discussion between Riku and Ansem and then chasing after his other friends upon his love's command.
            When he finally landed, it was on his back upon something soft and cold.  It made him shiver, but he didn't feel much like getting up and finding warmth.  He only curled onto his side, trying to conserve all the heat he could.  Even though he stopped falling, it was still getting darker... and darker...
            Sora allowed his eyes to close, trying to think of the light he once knew.  After all...  he could not follow...  he could not follow...
            Suddenly his neck was craned upward some, one of the two necklaces around his neck being pulled upon.  He saw the crown pendent laying on the ground next to him, so he knew that it was the necklace Riku had given him that one night that the person was inspecting.
            / Riku... /  The silver-haired boy had given him the gift the same night he had made the promise to always take care of the Keyblade master.  The promise he hadn't kept..  That Sora hoped there was some way of still keeping...
            "Get up, Sora," a soft voice called, though it seemed to scold him.  It sounded familiar to him for some reason...
            Sora remained on the ground, not wanting to move if only in fear of becoming cold.  He heard the other person sigh heavily, before he was yanked violently off the ground into a rather tight, but warm, embrace.
            "You idiot..."  The words were whispered in a hot breath that went past his ear, making Sora shiver.
            Sora's blue eyes widened as he finally realized who it was that was holding him.  He shoved away from the figure just to get a better look at his face.  "Ri... Riku..."  His unsure look become that of a large grin as he threw his arms around his lost friend, nuzzling into his neck, muttering, "Riku, Riku, my Riku..."
            Riku could not help but smirk.  He returned his friend's hug and tightened the hold.  "My Sora..."  He ran his hand up and down the younger boy's back, savoring the feel of the boy once again in his arms.  He missed it, missed it so much.  He missed Sora's voice, touching him, being with him, talking with him...  He had missed everything about the brunette.  The past few months had been agony.  The absence of the one he loved made everything he loved about the boy seem more... apparent.
            Sora kissed Riku's neck with quick pecks.  "I missed you so much, Riku...  So much..."  He clung tighter to the taller boy.
            "I know, Sora.  I missed you, too."
            "Why didn't you leave Kingdom Hearts?  Why didn't you come back to me?"
            "I'm too far into the dark to return, Sora.  I have to stay here."
            "...here?  Wait, Riku... where are we?"
            Riku hesitated a moment before answering.  "...we're in Kingdom Hearts."  He pushed Sora away some so that he could look into the other's eyes.  He took on a disappointed look, saying, "Meaning that you followed me here."

As much as I hate leaving it at such a horrible spot, I thought I'd go ahead and update this one, just so you guys know I'm at least working on it.  Sorrie I haven't been updating so much.  School is going to be rough for me this semester because I'm taking an independent study for French, I'm Reagent of my shire in Amtgard, and Warrior's comes above all else.  I'm trying my best to keep up with everything, and I'm sorrie if it takes me awhile.  Damn school.  I can't wait until I graduate...
And I will finish 'Fangs', at some point.  I promise, promise.

Now, for shout-outs, just because I haven't done them in awhile.  There shall be a lot.  Because I have to make up for both 'Glossed Over' and the first part of 'Lost and Found'.  Eh.  Damn me and my obsessions with replying to fans!  I should just make a message board and save myself the damnable energy...  Hye, wait, that's not a bad idea...  Hmm...  *starts to scheme*

To LoverofSilverHairedBishies

Hell of a name there.  Hieh.  I will upload the lemon on my site, once it is done.  I need to update my site, too...  Hmm, thanks for reminding me.  ^^;

To nekkyotwins

*twitch... o.o*  Nooo!  The evil 'c' word!  *cringe* (just kidding, btw^^;)

To Sephira

Sanku yuu!  ^_^

To LadyRune

I need to go back through the game(I got the bad ending, eeck).  I just have to beat that damnable wraith thingie so I can get the last batch of puppies and then I can get the good ending.  Damn it, that's going to take awhile... grr.  It did jump, didn't it?  Eh, I only have ideas for certain parts of the game, a lot for after the game.  My mind skips around a lot.  It is to blame for skipping.  *nodnod*  And I added the stabby part of the third chapter just for you.  ^_^

To Krimzon

..grr, no 'c' word.  ;P  My endings are always rushed.  I suck like that.  You also helped make the third chapter, with the little 'heartless' thing.  I had not thought about that until I read your post.  For this, I give you Squeeberries.  *nodnod*

To Kaya

Black shark-merman thingie is what I'm looking at when I do the sequel to 'Fangs'.  Thank you and to everyone else for the help on that.  ;)  *loveth on her fans*  Trust me, if you hear the 'c' word as much as I do, you'd hate it, too.  ;P  I always have confusing titles.  I like it that way.  Hieh.  I had trouble with the 3d part of Atlantica.  *shrugs*  It's just not my thing, I guess.  Hmm, ohwell, I won't be going there anytime soon, so it's all good.

To geometrygal

I like that part, too.  Ah, fluff.  The stuff we all wish our significant others would say to us, huh?  Hieh.

To Lineal

Then you shall small more, as I give you more yaoi.  W00t!

To Molly-chan

...*blinks*  He will or won't keep his promise.  I haven't decided yet if I want I really depressing ending or a really happy ending.  Eh, fans get to pick, as par usual.  And, yes, you shall receive more.  I am fond of this fandom.  I shall stick with it for awhile.  Squee.

To KawaiiAngel14

*lol*  It's okay.  I'm sick of the word just for it's repetitiveness, not that's it's like an insult or anything to me.  ;)  Thank you for your compliment.

To Lito Kid Skullington

I beat that fight my second try, when I actually equipped my skills right.  Hieh.  Silly mindie.  ^^;  Lobster?  *rotfl*  That would be beautiful.  I'm sticking with the merman thing, though, otherwise I would.  *image of Riku as I lobster, scuttling away pops into mind... starts cackling madly*  So wonderful.  So, so wonderful.

To Insanity x2

Thank you.  I try to stick to characters' real personalities as close as possible.  ^_^  And I brought 'im back!  Aren't you happy?  Squee!

To Eve

Thank you, thank you.  ^_^

To Mel

W00t.  Then, read you shall.  ^_^

To VinnieNoNeko

...*o.O*  Being stalked doesn't said happy to me.  I think I'll be a good authour and write.  *gets to it*

To Anime Writer Karica

I shall update as soon as possible, I swear.  ^^;

To Angel

Don't feel like a freak.  There are some things in fics I write because they happened between me and my boy.  I know exactly where you're coming from.  I'm happy that I can get someone to relate to my stories.  Makes me feel like a good authour.  ^_^

To LadyRune

I know, I know...  I should keep up with my stories.  Plugh.  I'll get to it.  ;P  Hieh.

To FangFire

Thank you.  ^_^

To Kate

*hands you box of tissues*  Don't cry!  There shall be a happy ending, if not in this fic, then in others!  ^^;

To Kirei no Anime262

*just blinks and lets the fan relieve her anger*  *O.O*  I must remember happy ending for this one, or else muchness of deathness will probably occur...  *o.O*

To MetallicPink Sakura

Thank you.  ^_^

To TruKaiba

I didn't stop there!  There's a sequel!  Really!  ^^;

To shadow-of-hearts

Yes, working until late in the morning is really not good for you.  I should really stop doing that.  Ohwell.  *big, stupid, sleepy grin*

To cherrygal3

If you think this is nice, you should read my novel series, Warrior's.  I'm much more proud of that than some fanfics.  ^_^  Thank you, for your compliments.  ^_^

To Dark-angel

I will, as soon as I upload this part.  ;)

To Mistychan

Thank you.  Writing is a future career of mine, so I'd only hope I could write well.  Hieh.  ;)

To Kirei no Anime262

Mmm..  chocolate...  *gets hungry*  Mmm...  Utada Hikaru...  *goes to listen to 'Deep River'*  'Hikari' is better than 'Simple and Clean', to me.  But, anyway, that could be quite possible.  He could be referring to Riku...  Kind of makes sense with the song.  Has anyone done a songfic to that song yet?  I mean, I know it's been in fics, but only song by other people...  Has been made into a songfic yet?  I could write that...  Or 'Hikari', whichever... Hmm..

To Eriol-sama

I will not tell if the promise is kept or not.  That's for me to know, and for you to read and find out.  ;)

To Kate

Don't forget the chocolate ice cream!  That always makes me feel better when I cry...  Hieh...

To Darkness-abiding-fiend

....*O.O*  I have been threatened.  Oh.  Dear.  *writewrite*

To LadyRune

I hate insomnia.  Thank god for anti-psychotics.  They make me both sane and sleep, which are two very good things.  Need to get all the stuffs for Ultima Weapon.  And I like how Square does that.  Gives it an.. enduring feature, you know?  I would incorporate it in, but I haven't gotten it yet.  Eh, I'll work on that.

My GOD.  My fingers about to fall off.  So cold.  So much typing.  I think I'm going to go take a breather...  Take care, read and review.  *goes to make sure she doesn't have frost bite*
