I usually update alot faster, but finals have dragged me down. Please enjoy and review!

There was an awkward pause after Riku's confession of being a "chocolate vampire." After a few moments, Sora's lips broadened into a wide smile.

"That is so cool!" he shouted. Riku smiled at the boy's outburst, his bright mako eyes shown with pride. He never knew that being such a monster would please people.

"You think?" he asked to be certain. Sora nodded his head.

"I wish I could turn stuff into chocolate," he said with a pout. Riku's once shining eyes bulged at the cute gesture. "What else can you do?" he asked. Riku shrugged.

"That's about it."

"Can you go out during the day?" the brunette asked.

"Yeah, it's night that I really can't go out during. I can only go out when the moon is shining. Only if there is some kind of natural light," Riku explained.

"That's cool," Sora exclaimed again. "It would be really nice if I could turn stuff into chocolate." Sora then stopped and pondered something before speaking again. "But normal vampires need blood, what about you?" he asked.

"I need water and most foods," the silver haired boy replied wittily. "Just like you."

"Nothing else?" the other asked. Riku shook his head.

"Nope."

Sora nodded. Here came the awkward silence. Sora contemplated his choices of subjects to talk about and came up with a few he wanted to talk about.

"Where are your parents?" he asked. Riku looked up from the book that he had picked up off of the floor. Sora stared at the book.

'Where'd that come from?' he asked himself.

"I don't have any," he replied. "I live with my uncle, Sephiroth. He supports the education by allowing different friends from his college days come and teach me," there was a pause in the talk, but only to get breath. "Yen Sid teaches science, history is taught by Norrington, math by Tron, and Literature I learn from my uncle."

"That's all you learn?" Sora asked. Riku nodded his head. "Does your uncle know about you being a vampire?"

"Yeah, that's why I don't go to school."

"But how did you know about my school being closed?"

"It was on the news," was the simple answer.

"Do you know any kids your age?" Sora asked.

"Seifer." The brunette's eyes widened at the mention of the name. The name brought back the reason he was here and why he was lying in an unfamiliar bed in an unknown house.

'Why did I never notice the mansion?' Sora asked himself. 'I must have been pretty oblivious.'

"Really? Because I have a friend that has a crush on him." Riku smiled at this.

"Well, you can tell her that he is gay and already lusts after someone else."

"Who?" Sora asked with curiosity.

"Some boy named Hayner."

"Really?"

"Yeah." A smile replaced the distinct, confused frown.

"Oh, because the person that has a crush on his isn't a girl. A boy, and not just any boy, but the all time famous Blitz Ball player, Hayner." Sora ended with a grin on his face and a triumphant look in his eyes.

"This'll be interesting," Riku muttered. "You need anything else?" he asked. "It's still raining outside pretty heavily."

"Do you have any video games?" Sora asked. Riku shook his head.

"I have a T.V. and lots of books. Do you like to read?" The brunette shook his head.

"I have A.D.D.," he answered. "I can't stay still while reading a book." Riku nodded his head.

"Then what about you watch television and I'll cook lunch."

"Okay."

By the end of lunch, the storm had disappeared and Riku thought it safe enough for the brunette to go home. Riku had packed him some chocolate to last him the day before Sora's departure. On his return home, Sora was attacked with hugs and tears from his sisters and insults from his brothers.

"Where have you been?" Tifa asked. Her eyes were red from crying. "You made us all worry so much."

"Yeah, kid, you made Aerith worried and we didn't get to eat. God, Sora, why do you have to be important?" But Sora knew, behind Leon's words was where the worry lay.

"Leon, you're the one that cooks, why would Aerith be apart of it in any way? I was saved by a boy that had helped me. I had passed out in front of his house after running in the rain. He took me into his house and treated me," he explained.

"So you weren't raped?" Roxas asked. Sora rolled his eyes.

"No, Rox, I was not raped." Tifa hit Roxas on the head once before hugging Sora again.

"You should have called home," Yuffie said.

"I couldn't, phone lines were down and my cell didn't have any signal."

"Well," Leon said. "Since this problem seems to be resolved, I think I'll go shopping for dinner."

"Oh! I want to come!" Demyx and Yuffie squealed at the same time. Leon only shook his head before getting a coat and his keys.

"Aerith, Tifa, do you girls need anything?" he asked. The girls shook their heads. After the three left, Tifa said something about meeting up with a friend of hers and Aerith said she needed to get some last minute homework finished.

"So," Roxas said as he sat down on the couch next to Sora. "Tell me, why were you running in the rain last night and where is this boy's house."

"This boy's name is Riku and he lives in a mansion next to the candy store. I had met him earlier that day. He was the exact same person that Kairi had broken up with me for. I wanted to see him because I didn't know what was so great about him. I went to the place where we met after I left Hayner's house. It was running and I just happened to pass out in front of his house. That's all, I promise."

Roxas nodded his head. "How old is he?"

"Sixteen."

"Do I know him, he must go to Destiny High if he lives on the island."

"He's home schooled. And no, you wouldn't know him, but I know someone that does."

"Who?"

"Seifer." There was a smile on the brunette's face.

"The same Seifer that Hayner has a crush on?" Roxas asked. Sora nodded his head.

"Not just that," he said. "But it seems that Seifer also likes Hayner. So life is pretty good."

"Yeah, life's pretty good."

"So Riku, I heard that you had a friend over yesterday," came a grave voice from the doorway. Riku looked up from his book and stared at the intruder.

"Yes, uncle, I did," he replied. "Is that a problem?" The man shook his head.

"It's just that you always have the weirdest of friends, like Seifer."

"Thank you, uncle Seph," Riku said sarcastically.

"No problem," Sephiroth replied with a smile. "Just make sure that your 'friend' comes over more often. I would like to meet him."

"Yes, uncle."

"Are you alive?" Hayner asked. Sora had called Hayner to tell him about the new piece of information, a plan already forming in his mind.

"Yes," came the reply. "Last time I checked, you were alive when you were able to call someone."

"So why'd you call?" he asked.

"To tell you about my master plan."

"Oh, shit."

"It's brilliant," Selphie muttered. "Sora is a wonderful when coming up with plans of love."

"Yes, he is," said Yuffie on the other line. "I can't believe that I'm related to him."

"It's pure brilliance."

"When will we start?"

"Tomorrow at school."

"Okay."

"See ya then."

'Click.'

Selphie lay on her bed. It would be perfect and nothing would ruin the moment. That was until there was a knock at the door.

"Selphie, hunny, your uncle and cousin are here," came her mother's voice.

"Coming." The girl got up off of her bed and made her way to the living room where her cousin and uncle were.

"Hello, uncle Seph, Riku," she greeted. "I haven't seen either of you in forever." She gave her uncle a hug and Riku a devilish smile. "What brings you two here?"

"Riku wants to start public school," Sephiroth said. "I was wondering if you could help him."

"Of course, but why the house call? Why not just call?" she asked. Riku shifted on his feet as Sephiroth answered for him.

"I want you to introduce him to some of your friends so that he would feel welcomed."

"Let's go meet some of them now!" Selphie said excitedly. She grabbed the boy's hand and dragged him outside.

"Now?" he asked. Sephiroth chuckled as he nodded.

After a few minutes of involuntary dragging, Selphie finally stopped in front of a small coffee shop.

"I'm supposed to meet Roxas and his brother here." The name Roxas pricked at his mind for a few seconds before it disappeared.

"Odd," he said to himself.

"What's that?" Selphie asked before she pushed the door open.

"Nothing."

"We're here!" she shouted to two boys. They looked up, one smiling and the other staring at Riku in confusion.

"Riku?"

A/N: Sorry that it's sooo short. Please forgive me…
