Tke: Oo scary, people actually like what I write! I've got more reviews than I expected. Which, to me, is surprising because I think I'm the worst writer in the world… but people seem to like my writing… shocking…
Naminé: good for you Sammi!
Tke: ain't I amazing?
Riku: mutters something
Tke: what was that, Riku?
Riku: whistles nothing.
Tke: I will hurt you.
Riku: rolls eyes
Tke: Naminé, please do disclaimer.
Naminé: smiles of course, Tke only owns the plot, not the characters nor the songs. Although she does own all our souls…
Tke and Riku: O.o
Naminé: blinks what?
Tke and Riku: whistles nothing… O.o
Naminé: smile, smile, smile

RIKU'S POVTo say I was passionate about Kaze Sora was an understatement.
I was obsessed.
Even THAT was an understatement.
My little 'obsession' started in the seventh grade. Half way through the year we get a new student and I had recently found out I was Bi. I was ignoring my teacher, like always (hey, never said I was perfect). My teacher snapped at me, saying I should at least say hi to the new kid. So I turned to give a sarcastic reply of 'fuck off' before I quickly snapped my mouth shut.
This kid wasn't human… he was a mini god… he was gorgeous….
Chestnut hair sticking in all directions looking like he'd just been caught shagging and forced to immediately show, eyes clearer than the clearest sky could be and you could loose yourself for hours, plump limps full and tainted with a smirk. Skin tanned, slim body and the curves of a female, he seemed to be the perfect person.
I couldn't help but stare.
My teacher seemed quiet; amazed I was quiet for once.
"Kaze-san, please sit next to Umino-san then."
Oh yeah, this kid was going to keep me quiet, as IF!
He stopped next to my desk, giving me a smile, "Ohayo."
Okay… maybe he COULD tame me… I need to stop drooling….
I ended up staring at him all day, he rarely talked, unless answering a question, and he was often the only one in class actually DOING the assignments.
"Hey."
I jumped, looking up to meet his eyes, I really did start to loose myself…
"Your paper."
Erm… what?
He looked almost annoyed, "I'm collecting papers, hand yours in."
I meekly stared before he took my paper and continued on his mission, not sparing me a glance.
I knew almost immediately I needed to date him or make him mine.
Gorgeous, smart, attitude all in one
There was something I knew I wanted.
Now that we're seniors in high school, he still hasn't spared me a glance, and it's tearing me to pieces.
I'd taken so many pictures of him it wasn't funny. I guess I was obsessed because I had enlarged pictures for posters on my wall, I had bed sheets and pillowcases made with him on it, my screensavers on my computer were of him, and even my backgrounds were of him.
Naminé said he'd probably be frightened.
Ah, so what?
Sora was a god, so why shouldn't he be treated like one?
I'd even picked out one of my favorite songs from his favorite singer, Hikaru Utada, my favorite song, Passion, was now Sora's theme song. Although I didn't know the words, I wasn't Japanese; I knew Sora was Japanese so I was learning the language just for him. It wasn't that easy, mind you. I wanted to get a room and I did somewhere in Japan 'J' Town (which for those who don't know, is a small Japanese city in California) and asked when, I said sakuban (last night) instead of kon-ban (tonight). He stared at me strangely and asked in English how long. My face went red from embarrassment when I said tonight and he just smiled. Well, fuck, the language isn't easy.
If just needing to get close to Sora, I'll use the 'I need to learn Japanese' excuse to do it.
So I began to play my piano inside my room, playing the Passion melody. I couldn't help it, I loved the song, but more than anything, I love Sora Kaze.
Half way through the song though, I heard Naminé from downstairs, "Riku! I kept them out! But Kairi and the gang is waiting!"
I sigh, debating whether to finish the rest of the song or to just leave.
Kairi would kick my ass if I wasn't down there soon enough, but I never left the house until I played Passion at least once a day.
So I finished it up, until I heard Kairi yell from downstairs and I hit a wrong bar.
Well, fuck THERE goes my SORA moment.
She knew my obsession; she wasn't going to hear the end of this.
I slipped into my jeans and a nice red no-sleeved shirt with light blue cursive that said sky.
Only Kairi and Naminé knew what I meant.
Sora meant sky in Japanese.
He's my sky.
I had made my way downstairs, tripping on almost everything that Naminé had in the way.
Damn her… knowing her she did this on purpose!
I skidded out in the hall, almost crashing into the life-size mirror in our hall. I braced myself but found myself stopped a bit after I closed my eyes. Suddenly, when I realized I wasn't moving, I began to ponder.
What did I do? How'd I stop myself? Could I possibly do it again? Did I want to try?
"You can't even tell when someone saved you, you're slow Riku."
I turned, facing my childhood friend, Kairi. She was pretty, no doubt, but I just wasn't interested. I wanted my Sora. I glared at her, "You saved me?"
She had that grin, the one that said 'I-told-you-so'. "Yes, me."
I glared harder, "Evil." I didn't need some GIRL to save me. (Tke: Hehehe, I'm a girl…)
Her grin got wider, "Hey, I just told our gang to meet us at the ice cream parlor instead of waiting here for you, so be nice."
I simply looked confused, "Why?"
She gave me one of her natural, kind, and sweet smiles, "I wanted to hear Passion."
I stared, "Passion?"
She smiled softer, "I just saw why you like Kaze so much, quite a looker."
I glared again "Back off." He was MINE!
She smiled, not at all fazed by my glare, screw her, "I just said I saw him Riku, as in, he's near your house."
"Great, tell the others I can't make it, I'm going to chase him down." I almost grinned, after all, Sora was near me and I was finally going to do something about it. No matter what, I was Riku, land in Japanese, so if I was land I wanted Sora as my sky. And to get him to be my sky, I first have to get him to notice me. Which was my plan now, one I was fully ready to take action for.
I heard Kairi shout, "GO GET HIM TIGER!" as I rushed out of the house.
I wasn't a tiger darn it, I was land and I wanted my sky! (Tke: I enjoy this line… a LOT…)
Suddenly I reached a signal, groaning as I saw the light go from walk to red right in front of me. I ran to the elevator near the bridge, it'd take you to the top floor of the mall maybe Sora was somewhere here?
I sighed, slipping quickly into the elevator as the doors chimed closed. I rested my back against the glass wall.
"Hey! Wait hold the elevator!"
I had to smirk, a poor sap that gets left out, too bad, so sad. I pushed the Close Door button and hummed, this person could wait, and I'm on a mission.
Suddenly a tanned hand pushed against the door, sliding it open, I only noticed as I looked out of the corner of my eye.
"Didn't you just hear me to wait?"
I turned, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, right now-…" My words died in my throat.
There was Sora, Kaze Sora.
A white tang top, blue jean jacket, and blue jeans with black boots and black fingerless gloves covered his body. His cheeks red, breathing uneven, sweat glistening down his face… okay….
STOP BAD MENTAL IMAGES! NO! NO! NOT HERE!
He raised an eyebrow at me, "Your eye is twitching…"
He slid into the elevator too, quietly staring at me from the corner of his eye, I was beet red from embarrassment and I could only grow darker from his stare.
Suddenly I think he threw all caution into the wind, "You're Umino, right?"
My heart nearly stopped, he remembered my name!
"Umino…" he cocked his head to the side, looking adorable, "… Riku, ne?"
I sucked in a breath, hearing my name so innocently from those full and rosy lips.
"H-hai…"
He gave me a smile; I couldn't help but smile back, "Nihonogo o hanasemasuka? Wakarinasu ka?" (Translation: Can you speak Japanese? Do you understand?)
I gave him a small, embarrassed grin, "Hai, sukoshi hanasemasu." (Yes, just a little.)
"Ii otenki desu ne?" (Nice day, isn't it?)
"Hai, hitori desu ka?" (Yes, are you alone?)
"Eigakan ni ikimasen ka?" (Want to go see a movie? (Sigh tried my best to translate from English to Japanese, might be kinda wrong, but that's basically it.))
I couldn't help but turn red, was Sora asking me OUT! As, in, a DATE?
Oh FUCK yeah was I going!
"S-sure…"
He gave a chuckle, a sound I wanted to hear often, "Then lets make sure to speak one language, okay?"
I gave a nod, red, fuck, THIS WAS MY DAY!
It was silent as we reached the top floor, Sora breaking the silence as we walked out, "So where are you learning Japanese?"
Well… it's a start… "From my pen pal in Japan…" I loved my pen pal like family, "Her name is Selphie."
He blinked, stopping, "What's her last name?"
"Huh?" Now I'm lost, what's that got to do with anything?
Sora shook his head, chocolate looks spraying everywhere, "Nevermind."
"It's Selphie Timitt." I answered as he started to walk again; he stopped a few feet away.
"Serious?"
I could almost feel myself face fault, "And WHERE would I come up with a name like THAT!"
He raised an eyebrow, "So you're the one talking with my cousin…"
Okay, hold on, stop, rewind, and REPLAY. "Your… cousin?"
He gave a laugh, I was too shocked to listen to it, "I knew her pen pal was from here, she just wouldn't tell me who, thanks Riku, I feel like I solved a big murder mystery."
I snapped back to my senses before realizing his smile was directed at me, and ONLY me.
Oh yeah, this could beat ANY day.
He gave me another smile and I just couldn't help but smile back.
My life was perfect today.
X.X.X.X.X.X.X
I think everyone at the movie theater thinks I'm on crack or something.
As Sora was in line to by tickets to Silent Hill (I totally let him pick the movie) I waited for him to turn. He quickly turned and talked with the lady behind the glass.
I bit my lip from squealing, but I shook my fists like any random fanboy or girl and I kinda stomped my feet a little. (I just HAD a mental imagine of Riku doing this…)
He had turned and I simply gave a weak smile as others watched us, obvious looks of 'weirdo' on their faces and in their eyes.
I could care less.
I was only focused on one thing.
Sora.
Some where in the background, Passion was playing and kept playing even as we bought our popcorn and sodas and found a seat. It'd stop for a second for me to quickly grab Sora's arm when the blonde freak at the food area started hitting on obvious Sora. The glare I gave him was probably one from Satan himself. After slapping down the money I'd quickly kept my hold on Sora's arm and lead him to the screening to find some seats. We'd found some seats pretty up close and front. And then something happened.
The music radio that's on before the movie began loved me.
It started to play Passion.
Literally.
I quickly turned to Sora's interested sound, he had a smile lit upon his face, "I love this song…" He answered, humming the tune.
I started to hum as well and he smiled at me again.
God.
Thank you.
For heaven
X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X
The movie finished, and I was practically in my happy place. The credits had finished rolling, the radio was back on, and Sora and I were practically holding onto each other's hands. Hikaru Utada's Sanctuary was playing; it was good, but not as good as Passion.
Sora seemed to agree, his nose scrunched up and eyes narrow, I could almost make him a neko and see the ears on the side of his head flat with distaste.
"Sanctuary is pretty good, but can't it go back to Passion?"
Apparently we have the same tastes.
Thank you lord.
"Passion does sound better, better harmonies."
He smiled at me, "I agree."
Well shit, I'll agree with anything, as long as you don't stop touching my hand.
He blinked and looked at our hands, he slid his hand away from mine, I looked at my hand, trying to re-feel his hand in mine.
"G-gomen nasai…" Japanese? I looked up, Sora's hands folded perfectly in his lap and a dark red blush across his face. He was so CUTE!
"No problem, grab something to eat?'
"H-hai!" Our date was still on!
Until…
Passion came on again.
And we waited till it ended to leave.
What can I say?
I'm a sucker.
A sucker for Sora
