After role was called, Sora and the rest of his class went outside. Today they were going to be swimming laps, and afterward they were going to dive off of the diving board. To Sora's luck, Riku's class was doing the same thing. Sometimes the gym classes overlapped in activities, so classes that had different grades of students were technically in the same class. Sora didn't have anytime to talk to Riku while they were swimming laps, so he had to wait until they went diving to try and talk to him. But Sora noticed something.

Riku was sitting in the bleachers, normally used for crowds for the swim meets, and this struck Sora as odd. No matter what, Riku never missed out on swimming laps, it was in his blood. He was the fastest swimmer in school, so why would he sit out now? Sora had to know.

After Sora finished his laps, he made his way over to the bleachers, where Riku still sat. "Hey Riku!"

"Oh…h-hey Sora." Riku never lifted his head, he just stared down at his feet.

"Whacha doing up here?" Riku was sitting on the very top row of bleachers, the farthest away from the pool.

"I just didn't feel like swimming."

"BULL SHIT!" Riku snapped his neck and look up to Sora, who was now towering over him. Sora then suddenly grabbed Riku's right arm, his injured arm, and put it in a death grip, causing Riku to wince. "You know as well as I do that you never miss out on an opportunity to go swimming! Now tell me why you're up here!" No one seemed to hear Sora, and kept on swimming laps.

"I really didn't feel like it Sora okay?" Sora grip on Riku's arm tightened, causing the older teen to slightly whimper. Sora has never seen his friend so…helpless. Behind all of his rage, Sora didn't notice that Riku's arm was bandaged up.

"W-What happened?"

Riku tore his arm away from Sora's grip, looking away from his friend. "I fell down the stairs alright?"

"Why didn't you tell me that sooner?"

"Because it's no big deal alright?" Riku stood up and walked down the bleacher's steps to talk to the teacher. Sora could just see the teacher nod as Riku went to the locker rooms. After a short amount of time, the P.E. teacher, Aeleus, blew his whistle to signal that swimming laps was over and now it was time to dive. Sora's school had two diving boards, one being a high dive and the other being a low dive, and it was mandatory to dive off of each at least once during each gym class you had of swimming. Many of the students dove off of the low dive first, fearing the dreaded high dive, but other students went straight to the high dive. Sora being one of these people.

Sora, had always been afraid of heights, but he thought today would be the day that he'd concur his fear. Sora was the first one to climb the high dive, shaking like a leaf the entire way up. Right before he made it to the top, he felt someone grab his ankle. Sora began to panic as he looked down to see Marluxia was the one that had a hold of his ankle. All Marluxia did was smirk as Sora tried to shake his ankle free.

Then next thing Sora knew, a loud whistle surrounded him. "Hey! You up there! No horse play on the high dive!" Sora was grateful, because right after that, Marluxia let go of Sora's ankle, letting him get to the top of the high dive. As Sora walked down the diving board, he heard Marluxia snickering.

"You better be careful Sora, you don't want to end up like Riku do you?" Sora's heart froze, as he slowly turned to face Marluxia. The look in his eyes were pure evil, not bothering to try and hide his intentions.

"Hey! You up there! Get a move out!" Aeleus shouted up to Sora, who was now too scared to even move.

"You better jump now Sora, or else you'll get into trouble." Marluxia began to shake the diving board, causing Sora to lose his balance, and eventually falling off of the diving board into the water below. Sora's mind went blank as he began to sink deeper and deeper into the pool, and soon the world went black.

When Sora came to, he noticed that he was in the nurses office, laying on his back in one of the many beds. "Sora! Thank goodness!" Sora was quickly embraced in a tight hug as he raised himself off of the bed. Sora soon noticed who it was who was hugging him, it was Riku. "What the hell happened?"

"O-Oh Riku, w-well I…" Sora was trying to stay calm, slowly remembering the event that recently happened.

"They said you just fell off of the diving board, but I know there's something else. What happened?"

"M-Marluxia, h-he-"

"Oh my-Sora I'm so sorry!" Riku gave Sora another tight hug.

"Why are you sorry? It wasn't your fault."

"Yeah Riku, why are you sorry?" Both boys looked up to see Larxene standing in the doorway. Sora seemed both scared and angry, while Riku just looked scared. "Riku, a word if you please." Larxene signaled for Riku to come over, which he reluctantly did, but Sora wasn't going to take it quietly.

"Um, Riku, can you stay here for a while? I don't think I'm feeling too well." Larxene shot Sora a death glare.

"The nurse is going to be back shortly, so complain to her about your problems." Larxene grabbed Riku's injured arm and dragged him out of the nurse's office. Soon after they left, Roxas, Vanitas, and Namine came in to see him.

"Sora are you alright?" Namine ran over to look over Sora. She spent most of her time in the nurses office because she was a very fragile girl and got injured/sick a lot, so she knew what she was doing.

"Yeah man, you seemed dead in the water after your dive. You're just lucky I was already in the water and got you." During the summer, Roxas had a job as a life guard, so he was use to being in the water, even though he rarely got the chance to save anyone.

"Yeah, s-sorry."

"Well you seem okay, no permanent damage at least."

"Well that's good. Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to my baby brother." Vanitas pinched Sora's cheek, something Sora hated more than anything. Sora swatted Vanitas' hand away. "Oh by the way where's your pal Riku?"

"H-He just left with Larxene."

"Larxene, that's kinda weird. I mean I can't picture those two hanging out together. Hehe, you think they're going out?" Roxas was never one to be subtle with his words. This caused Sora's anger to sky rocket as he jumped off of the bed, and pinned Roxas to a nearby wall.

"He would never date someone like her! Don't you ever say something like that again!"

"Sora calm down! Let Roxas go!" Namine tried to separate them, with help from Vanitas and Ventus. After a short amount of time, they managed to separate the two teens, making Sora calm down.

"What the fuck was that for Sora?" Roxas was really pissed off at Sora for what he just did.

"I'm sorry…"

"Is something wrong Sora? You never have this short of a fuse, even when I was at home."

"W-Well it's just…"

"Please tell us Sora."

"It's Riku…I think, that he's in trouble with the organization."

"WHAT?" All three of them shouted in unison.

"What makes you think that!" Namine seemed to be the one the most shocked about this. She had always had a crush on Riku ever since the two met, but she never tried to make a move knowing that Sora also had feelings for him.

"This morning Larxene said her boss needed to talk to Riku, and afterward he 'fell down the stairs'. And now Larxene took him away again, and who knows what will happen to him now. I don't know why this is happening, but I just have a feeling that it's all my fault. I must have done something yesterday to piss them off, seeing as I can't remember yesterday at all." Sora slowly began to cry as he said this.

"Oh Sora, I'm so sorry." Namine embraced Sora in a hug as Vanitas and Roxas seemed to just look at each other and had a brief conversation. Soon, Roxas left the room, leaving the three other teens behind.

"Where'd Roxas go?" Namine asked as she was still hugging Sora.

"Hm, oh he just went to have a word or two with his little boyfriend."

"I-Is he gonna-?"

"I don't know if he's going to get all of the answers but it's a start at least." Sora ran of over to his brother and embraced him in a hug, whispering 'Thank you' to him. This won't be the end for it, it's just the beginning, and Sora was going to get at least a small lead on what's happening to his best friend, the one he loved more than anyone else.
