You're So Far Away

Riku spent the entire next day looking for Sora. He couldn't find him anywhere. Not on the beach, not in his house, not anywhere on Destiny Islands. He wasn't kidding. He really did leave. He came across Kairi when he was searching.

Riku looked up at Kairi with a bit of hope, "You haven't seen Sora around have you?"

Kairi thought for a moment, "Actually, no. I haven't seen him at all today. It was weird too. Some friends came up to me asking the same question. When I said I hadn't seen him, they seemed heartbroken or something."

Riku eyes were wide in fear, "No." he whispered to himself.

"I'm sorry, what?"

Riku shook his head, "Nothing. Thanks for your help, Kairi."

He walked away from the red head and just when she was out of sight, he broke into a run. Where could he have gone? There was no where he could go. Unless he transported which he hasn't done in years!

"Hey Riku wait up!"

A voice made Riku halt and he turned around to see Kairi running towards him.

"Kairi?"

Kairi was gasping for breath, "Why do you want to know where Sora is?"

Riku stuttered, "I uh…"

He was about to explain that Sora was gone and it was his fault and they had to find him before he did something stupid and that nothing else mattered, but he realized that it would be best to keep it quiet. He then remembered the shell.

He pulled out the shell and handed it to her, "Here, Sora wanted you to have this."

Kairi looked at the shell and pushed away from Riku, "What? You're acting like he died or something."

Riku turned from her and whispered under his breath, "As far as our friendship is concerned…he has."

Sora ran as fast as he could. He was surprised he remembered how to get to Twilight Town using his keyblade. He figured it was about 5 am at the time. His heart still ached from the conversation with Riku.

He thought that running away from him would ease the pain but the fact he would never see him again only increased it.

He stopped at a house that looked strangely familiar. Then he recognized it. It was Roxas and Axel's house. Why did he come here? He figured it was the only place he could go to get some rest. He walked up to the door of the house and knocked on it. But right as he heard footsteps approaching, he blacked out and hit the pavement.

Kairi put her hand on Riku's shoulder, "Riku, do you know why he left? He wouldn't do this…would he?"

Riku wanted to explain everything to her. That they argued and then Sora kissed him and everything. But he knew he couldn't. So he kept quiet.

When Kairi saw she wouldn't get an answer she continued, "It's okay, you don't have to tell me. I won't make you."

After a long pause Riku spoke, "He…he thought it was for the best."

Kairi was confused, "But it won't be the same without him."

Riku's throat was tight with sadness, "I know."

"And you're okay with that?!"

Riku spun around to face her, "Did I say that?! You think I don't have a problem with this?!"

Kairi shook in fear of him. Riku continued, "He was my best friend! You think I'm okay with losing him?!"

Kairi gasped, "I never said that."

Riku took a breath, "No, just…I need some time alone."

Kairi nodded and walked away. Riku reached into his pocket and looked at the shell. It was the only thing he had to remember his friend. He placed it back into his pocket and whispered to himself.

"I'm sorry."

Sora woke up to see the inside of a room. He figured he must've been in Roxas and Axel's house. He walked downstairs and saw Axel playing with a lighter. Axel soon noticed his presence and smiled at him.

He chuckled, "Well, look who's up? So, you wanna tell me why I found you unconscious on my doorstep at 5 in the morning?"

Sora gulped, "It's a long story."

Axel smiled, "Roxas and I have plenty of time. Hey Roxie! Your faggot of a somebody has a little story to tell us!"

Roxas slowly walked out seemingly pissed, "Okay Axel, first of all, don't call me Roxie. Second, Sora is or friend and we shall not call him a faggot, and lastly, please keep it down. We don't want Demyx to wake up!"

Axel scoffed, "Whatever. Just get over here will ya, babe?"

Roxas, knowing he would never win this fight, obeyed and walked over beside Axel, "So Sora, what is it you have to tell us?"

Sora looked at the ground, "Well, I kinda am in love with Riku."

Roxas interrupted already, "Yeah, and?"

Sora scowled at him. He didn't make fun when Roxas got together with Axel. Since when did his nobody get to make fun of his love interests, "Anyway, I was afraid Riku didn't feel the same. Yesterday, when I went to go talk to him, I saw him kiss Kairi. I was heartbroken and we ended up getting into a fight. Emotions were kinda let loose. And uh...I kinda kissed Riku."

Roxas's eyes widened while Axel burst out laughing. Sora blushed with embarrassment. Roxas quieted Axel down so Sora could continue.

Roxas nodded, "Go on."

Sora continued, "Well, after that he was kinda shaken up about it so I took the hint and left. I ran for almost a day and ended up here. I didn't expect to be here. I just…I just can't go on."

Roxas seemed to understand, "I see. I guess I should call Riku and let him know you're here."

Sora shook his head, "No! Please don't tell him I'm here."

Roxas shrugged, "Okay. I won't call him if you don't want me to."

Just then Axel's phone rang. He picked it up, "Hello? Yes of course, Superior. I understand…we'll be right there."

Roxas looked at him in question, "Well who was it?"

Axel sighed, "It's the superior. He needs us for some strange reason. He wouldn't tell me. I guess we should get Demyx too."

Roxas nodded, "I suppose so. It's your turn to go get him."

Axel sighed and went upstairs. Roxas turned to his somebody, "I don't want to leave you here, y'know."

Sora retorted, "I don't want to stay here."

Roxas spoke briskly, "Don't be ridiculous! You're in no condition to be out there!"

"What?! Did you really expect me to go on like this? I didn't mean to come here. I didn't mean for anyone to find me."

"Don't, Sora. It's not worth it."

"And what's that supposed to mean? I can't live like this and I can't go back to living the way I did before."

"If you really care about him, you won't do this."

Sora spoke coldly on his way out, "You won't speak of this to him."

Sora slammed the door and staggered out. He felt his sleeve catch on the bushes he found himself struggling through, but he kept going. He heard it rip, but didn't look back. He stumbled from the bushes into a small park. He found himself facing an alley that was still dark despite the fact that dawn had come and gone. He wandered down it. Sora was struck by a sudden burst of power. He started to run down a twisting path to somewhere no one could find him. He didn't know where he was going, but he knew that when he got there he would be completely alone and that he would never leave wherever it was. He was rapidly becoming exhausted, but he kept going, kept pushing forwards until he met a dead end. He was there, he had reached his destination. He collapsed once more on cold pavement. He was alone and he would remain alone forever. He could feel his consciousness starting to slip away and he did not struggle to keep hold of it. He just lay there allowing it to seep away like water in his cupped hands. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered. It was finally over. In his last moments of awareness, he rolled over onto his back as if to bid the hidden sun farewell. He was so close to nothingness that he hardly felt the stabbing pain in his side as the blood flowed from his body.

Another long one! I am enjoying this SO much! Please review! It'll make Sora better!
