Chapter 2

"Oh you know what? Fuck you stove! Fuck you!" Riku blinked, wondering who on earth could be making such a racket at this time in the morning. He sat up and as he did it felt like a knife went through his side. The silverette grunted, trying to conceal his agony and almost fell back down onto to the sofa. He closed his eyes, the night before coming back to him.

"Look it! He's awake!" someone exclaimed, this was followed by more several more obscenities and the pungent smell of burning hair. Riku soon found himself face to face with a young brunette, the most beautiful sapphire blue eyes staring into his. He noted that this boy seemed a bit overly interested and was at a strangely close proximity, unaware of his space. The silverette chuckled at this boy's catlike curiosity and winced, feeling his side throb even more.

"Hi," The boy said brightly, not moving in the least. "I'm Sora!" Riku caught himself this time and restrained his laughter. The silverette now noticed an irritated looking blonde behind him, a bit of his hair was singed and he was holding a spatula like it was a murder weapon. "And this is Cloud."

"Pleased to meet you both." Cloud let out a little dignified sniff and stomped away towards what Riku assumed was the kitchen. Riku sat up a little more, stiffly swinging his legs around so his feet touched the floor. Sora backed away a little, but still fixed him with that same, kitten-like stare. Sora plopped down next to him, putting his arms behind his head.

"So, who are you exactly?" Sora asked plainly, smiling slightly.

"I am Riku."

"No, I mean like where are you from, do you have any where to go, what are your hobbies and how did you end up with a huge gash in your side?" This was all jumbled together into one long question. Riku could tell Sora had been dying to get around to this and honestly he did not blame him.

"Come on Sora, don't scare him off so soon. He doesn't have to answer your questions if he doesn't want to. Oh and I'm Leon." Leon came to stand in front of a disappointed Sora.

"Bu-" Sora was interrupted by a soft sniffling sound from the kitchen and Leon rushed off to comfort a crying Cloud. Riku lifted one delicate silver eyebrow questioningly at the brunette.

The younger sighed and leaned towards the silverette. Riku's eyes widened as Sora moved so that there was hardly a hair between them. Riku could feel the younger's warm breath on his neck and ear sending small chills down his spine and a tightening to his stomach, not to mention another area.

"Cloud's horrible at cooking. He melted the toaster yesterday morning and the stove is next." he whispered and went back to his original position. Riku stared into those deep sapphire pools, bright with innocence and sincerity, obviously oblivious to what he had done to the elder.

"Uh, would you like me to cook for you?" Riku asked.

Twenty minuets later the four of them were sitting down to a delectable breakfast of blueberry waffles and sausage. Cloud looked suspiciously at the nearly silent silverette. Carefully he sliced off a piece of the waffle a placed it in his mouth. His eyes lit up and he quickly chewed and swallowed.

"Sora! Could you come help me with something in the other room for a minuit?" Cloud demanded.

"Can't it wait until after breakfast?" asked the famished brunette who had a hunk of waffle halfway between his plate and his mouth. Cloud grabbed Sora's wrist, dragging him out of the room while smiling graciously at Riku. The silverette blinked, confused, and glanced over at Leon who rolled his eyes.

Once he was sure they were out of hearing distance Cloud confronted Sora.

"Riku sure is handsome isn't he?" the blonde questioned, a hint of impatience in his voice.

Sora flushed scarlet and stared as his brother continued "I think he likes you Sora! And I can tell you like him back! I mean we all knew you were gay all along!" Sora's blush increased, if that was possible and he glanced at the determined expression on his brother's face.

"I really don't think Riku's gay." the brunette hissed.

"Come on Sora! No man can be that pretty and not be gay!"

"Cloud!"

"Well it's true!" The brunette sighed at this.

"Cloud, why are you doing this?"

"Have you tasted his cooking?" The elder exclaimed "I am done eating burnt food! It's been years Sora! Do have any idea how good it would be to wake up to a well cooked breakfast every morning?"

"You could have just had me or Leon cook." Sora said, slightly disturbed by his brother's outburst.

"Leon has a job and you have school. Plus I have seen you and Leon cook, we would be better off eating singed food and buying a new toaster... And he would be obligated to cook for us, he would be a free-loader! Plus if you two went out he would stay with us!"

"I- I will think about it..." Sora finally said, trying to get away from his brother and back to his cooling plate of waffles.

The pair arrived back in the kitchen. Cloud sitting down and smiling as sweetly as he could at Riku (Which from the silverette's view looked more like a sugar-coated leer) and Sora who was the cutest shade of strawberry the boy had ever seen.

"So Riku, do you have parents?" Cloud asked hopefully. Leon looked up at this rather blunt question and was just about to tell the blonde off when Riku answered.

"No."

"Oh! That's grea- I mean so sad. Poor baby!" Cloud searched Riku's face looking for any clues as to what he was thinking, but the expression hadn't changed from apathy. "So... I was- and Sora was wondering if maybe you would like to live with us? Perhaps? You know I just couldn't bear to see such a beautiful boy like you go out in the world alone. I mean if something were to happen it would be terrible!" At this Leon burst out laughing, Sora let his head fall to the table with a dramatically embarrassed smack and Riku gave a nervous chuckle wondering if that was supposed to be a threat. Though,living here would save him a lot of trouble...

"Cloud? Seriously! On the streets of destiny islands?" Cloud glared over at his partner.

"That sounds wonderful actually." He glanced over at a recovering Sora. "As long as it wouldn't be too much trouble." Cloud grinned and then smirked at Sora who was taking a drink to try to calm his burning face. Coughing and spluttering his mind raced. Sharing a room with this-this beautiful Greek god-like person? And with Cloud dogging him about getting in his pants the whole time? He would lose his virginity in a week! Well that was if Riku was gay... and Cloud still had that bottle of Viagra. Sora shuddered inwardly at the memory of the night Cloud had slipped some into Leon's coffee. Needless to say Cloud and Leon didn't get much sleep that night and neither did Sora, who at that time had had the room next to theirs. The next day he had decided to move to the attic.

"Or I could just be going now, if it causes upset." The silverette stated, trying to hide the disappointment in his voice. He had found Sora interesting to say the least and, to say the most he found the brunette to be an alluring, cute, innocent, beautifully sexy individual.

"Oh no! You can sleep with me- In my room I mean! It would be fine! Wonderful! Great! Sorry to offend it just went down the wrong tube!" Well Sora obviously shared the same speech impediment Cloud seemed to posses. The young brunette looked pleadingly at the elder. Riku chuckled at this and relaxed.

"Okay Sora, anything for you." The brunette blushed at this and Cloud had a pleased expression on his face. Leon glanced at the blonde in trepidation, wondering what he was plotting.

"So Sora! If Riku doesn't feel too bad why don't you go show him around! I am sure he would love it!" Sora glanced at Riku who smirked.

"I would love to." Riku replied, he glanced down at his side, hoping it would hold up. He had been through worse. He could brave out a day on Destiny Islands.

A day on Destiny Islands soon proved harder then expected. The silverette stared down at the abomination his hands. Sea-salt ice cream, Sora had called it. Riku couldn't imagine something of that nature tasting like anything but ocean water. When he had asked the young brunette whether the frozen treat actually contained salt, the younger had answered with a happy 'yes' like it was the most normal thing in the world. Riku glanced over at the young brunette and his eye gave an involuntary twitch. Sora looked as if he was in ecstasy as he slowly sucked on the frozen tip of the Popsicle. E twitched again and blushed as Sora let out a quiet moan and carefully slid it farther in. Looking away, Riku gulped and took an experimental lick. He pulled the pop sickle back, looking at it quizzically.

"Salty... No, sweet!" He almost rolled his eyes at that unintended innuendo. Sora glanced over and giggled.

"Uhuh, I told you they were good! The islands are famous for them!" the lithe brunette chirped. This statement was followed by a silence, but Riku could already hear the questions brewing in the air. It was impossible to arrive on someones doorstep with a bloody gash and not be questioned, well... unless maybe the Adam's family. "So Riku, where did you come from?" The silverette contemplated that questioned, wondering how exactly he could answer that. He smirked and pointed up to the nearly cloudless sky. "So... your an alien?" Riku snorted at this.

"Nah, more just like, I am not from here, you know?" Sora looked puzzled but continued on all the same.

"So... uh.. what happened?" the brunette asked a little more shyly. Riku met his curious gaze.

"Got in a fight."

"That is so cool!" Sora's exuberance surprised the elder. Riku chuckled softly and took another lick of his ice cream.

"It's really not as fun as it sounds."

"Oh no! I don't mean like fun, like uh... awesome! Manly, you know?" Actually Riku didn't know, if he had to describe fighting he would use adjectives like painful and bloody bothersome. Still, the silverette nodded in agreement guessing that fighting here was rare and hard to come by, that was of course excusing the occasional conflicts over whom stole who's cookie and such (This was simply judging from Sora's personality, he had yet to meet the other islanders). The islands seemed to be a utopia to the silverette, who had seem far too much gore for a boy his age.

After the pair had finished their ice cream they strolled down the main part of the island, chatting idly about nothing of consequence. Suddenly Sora stopped outside one of the shops and blushed, fixing Riku with an abashed, yet determined stare. The brunette had already made his mind about what he was going to ask next.

"Riku, will you go in with me?" Sora asked shyly, an immense flush crossing his face. The silverette gazed at the shop, it took him a second to realize what it was. Neon green letters spelled out Sexy Surprises on the window, which was right next to a poster of Donald Duck Leaping onto a scantily clad Daisy.

Although the silverette had long since decided the sapphire-eyed boy was full of surprises, he had now come to the conclusion he was as oblivious to the world around him as a rock was to the sky. Or perhaps he had just never learned what was socially excepted (Something Riku was privately happy about) Or maybe, Riku thought hopefully, He likes me...

"Sure, So-chan." Riku replied, opening the glass door. The brunette giggled, enjoying the new nick-name and walked into the dark shop beyond.

The golden-eyed man stood above his incapacitated victim, he grasped the neck of the man with one of his hands, nearly crushing his windpipe. The man squirmed like a worm in the beak of a sparrow as he was lifted up into the air by the other, his nails scrabbling desperately at the hand that throttled him. He was thrown aside and there he lay crumpled on the floor coughing, before he finally spoke.

"Xe-Xemnas, I swear, I-I don't know where the kid went." The man stuttered. Xemnas looked at him, his face apathetic.

"Vexen, you know I don't enjoy hurting you," Xemnas laughed as if this was a joke, "It will all end you know, if you would just tell me were that brat went." Vexen felt a boot connect with a rib and heard a sickening crack, he nearly screamed in agony.

"I told you... I don't know... Where he... is" Vexen forced out through gritted teeth. Xemnas lifted the other's chin, moving his face so close that their noses nearly touched. Vexen's acid-green eyes bulged with terror.

"All I asked you to do was to keep him from escaping," Xemnas said, coating his words with a poisonous sugar (Splenda anyone?) "You. Pathetic. Useless. Man." Xemnas stroked the man's chin once before swiftly snapping it upwards, another crack and Vexen's neck hang limply at an unnatural angle. Two lifeless eyes still stared up at the other, still holding the same look of horror.

A blue-haired man watched the scene from the doorway, never flinching all the while. He stared at the tortured corpse on the floor without even the hint of pity in his cold eyes.

"Saix, take out the garbage." Xemnas snapped, gesturing offhandedly at the body on the floor "Once you are finished, come to my quarters." Saix smirked at this and started for the lifeless Vexen.

"Yes Superior.

Disclaimer- I do not own kingdom hearts, if I did Sora wouldn't have been stuck in a jumpsuit in all of game one, he would have been out of it quite a lot XD if you catch my drift...

Author's Note- Oooo! This one is actually more then 2 pages! (So proud)

So, What is Xemnas up to? And What are Him and Saix going to do in his chambers later?(BTW, that part was for you Xemny) And more importantly what will Sora discover is the sex shop?

Alright, I seriously need reviews on this story! And I swore I would never beg... but still. Please? With a lemon on top? Speaking of which I plan on adding a XemSai lemon in somewhere, so please vote who do you think should top. Thank you!

Dedication- To my lovely Sora, I could never want anything more then you babe.
