-And I will go heaven ward-

xXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXx

I started writing this almost immediately after the second chapter! Because, once again, I am EXCITED!! Sorry again for the last chapter being soooooo short! But all is well!

**DISCLAIMER** MidnightRiia wishes and hopes but, alas, she still does not own Kingdom Hearts or anything related to it or The Matrix {Though wouldn't that be awesome!?}. T_T

As the king would say: WELP! LETS GET A MOVE ON! I'm done rambling!

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Sora breathed in the fresh air of the gummi ship. The King had given them his gummi ship. Saying he would use one of Cid's. Not like he'd be leaving anytime soon though. And Donald and Goofy were to stay with their King. It was just him and Riku. And... though he hated to admit it,... Riku had been... stoic? while they were at Radiant Garden. He loved him. Yes. He was worried he would be like that the whole time. Oh ye~es. Sora wanted to have fun. But, Riku showed no signs of ... fun. Sora slumped in his seat after he put the ship on auto pilot. He had to argue with the ship for a bit before it worked because they had no idea where they were going. The space craft needed coordinates for auto pilot to work. And the brunette laughed triumphantly when the thing began to move by itself. He didn't know how he did it though...

"Tell me we're not gonna do what you and those... animals did when you-"

"Riku! That's not nice! Donald and Goofy are my friends!" Sora turned and pouted to the older leaning against the wall behind him, "And, what other choice do we have?"

Riku scoffed.

"Oh! So you have a plan!? Then please, share with the class," Sora got up from his seat to stand infront of him.

"Don't quote Tidus."

Sora scoffed.

Riku crossed his arms, "No, I don't have a plan. But I thought changing it up would be nice."

Sora frowned.

Stoic...

"Relax," Sora muttered, "Your so tense."

Riku pointedly tensened, " No, you're tense."

"No I'm not, you're acting all... all... TENSE!" Sora stamped his foot.

"Right this coming from the boy who argued with a computer. Ha! Who are you? Roxas!?" Riku laughed and tried to walk away.

"ROXAS!? WHY did you bring him up! What does he have to do with this!?" Sora yelled, gripping Riku's arm. He hated being compared to his Nobody. Now even Riku was doing it!?

"It was a joke Sora. ...One that you wouldn't get. I'm sorry." Riku bent down slightly to be at eye level with the brunette. Sora snatched his eyes away from the pool of aquamarine before he sunk. "Sora, please. I'm sor-" Riku was interrupted by a loud beeping noise.

"OH! WHAT NOW!?" Sora stomped away from the sliver haired teen to loom over the gummi ship controls, "WHAT IS IT!? I THOUGHT I GOT YOU UNDER CONTROL!?" Sora wacked the controls with his fist and growled slightly. The beeping didn't stop.

There was a startled yell that came from behind the brunette. It was cut off half way. Sora whipped around with wide eyes to find remnants of light still floating from the transport circle. And... no Riku. Sora cursed under his breath. Had he just tossed his best friend into space!? He looked out the window and gasped to find themselves stopped over a world. Sora smacked his forhead with his palm. DUH! The old gummi ship did this too. Just not quite as loud. It was probably louder because the ship was bigger. Whenever they arrived at a world the controls would make a beeping sound. Sora looked around the controls untill he found the button to make the obnoxious noise end. He smashed his fist into it and sighed when it stopped. Now to get to Riku. Sora didn't know how many transport circles were on the world. He didn't know which one Riku was transported to. It even could have just dropped him randomly. Sora just had to hope. Sora pushed the transport button and scurried to the portal just as it began to light up. He regretted being mad at Riku almost instantly. He was in a crappy situation.

And I still got lost in your eyes...

xXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXx

Sora frowned. He didn't think he'd ever look so lost again. Or at least he hoped not. But seriously. Where the hell was he!? He had walked down fifty streets and he still didn't know where he was. He had thought about asking someone for help. But then he remembered what Riku had said. About changing it up. And then he missed him dearly. Sora was lost. Period.

It was late. Really late. The only light coming from a very loud dance club. Sora frowned at himself. He couldn't believe he was thinking about going in there. It was obnoxious how loud it was. But... what other options did he have? Keep wandering around like a helpless, spiky haired puppy. Ask for directions from a hobo. The only person up at three in the morning. Sora sighed and entered the flashing building.

Immediately he had to cover his ears. He wondered if Riku would like a place like this. Probably ... or not? Riku was hard to read with these types of things. Sora groaned when some girl drunkenly fell on him. He carefully placed her in a nearby chair and grimaced to find her half naked. He wished he hadn't come in here. Still. He was already there. Might as well ask if anyone had seen his friend. Sora scanned the crowd of sweaty, half dressed, dancing bodies. And grinned as he spotted a tall man with short black hair. He looked normal enough. In fact, he looked as though he wasn't enjoying the giant mosch pit either. He would ask him.

Sora elbowed his way through the people untill he made it to the stranger. (Only tripping once! GOOD SORA!) The man blinked as Sora bent over to catch his breath.

"Can I help you?" The man asked. Raising an eyebrow.

Sora sucked in a deep breath of air before, "Yes! First. Can you tell me where I am?"

The man frowned at him, "A club..."

"No! I know that. I mean, like... the city." Sora placed his hands on his hips.

"Great," the man muttered, "I'm being interrogated by a drunkard."

"Excuse me! How old do I look!? I am not drunk. I'm just... not from around here. And I'm lost." Sora sighed in defeat. He didn't want to admit it out loud.

"Oh..." the man looked at Sora oddly, "You're in New York, New York. Doesn't get much more exact than that."

Sora smiled, "I'm Sora."

The man returned the smile, "That's an interesting name," he looked thoughtful for a moment, "I'm Neo."

"Thanks. Sora means sky. I don't know why I was named it," Sora chuckled softly.

"My name means new. Anything else you need?"

"Oh! Yeah! I'm- I'm looking for someone."

Neo nodded.

"He's pretty tall. He has long silver hair. Pale skin. And amazing aquamarine eyes. Uhh, his name is Riku." Sora spaced out for a moment, thinking about his best friend.

"Sorry. I haven't seen anyone with that... odd... description." Neo smiled apologetically.

"Odd?" Sora frowned. Riku was hot. Not odd.

"Of course, you are odd yourself."

Sora shook his head. Had this guy looked around? There were half naked people jumping about around them. And he was calling him odd.

"Thanks. At least I know where I am." Sora began to turn away when Neo grabbed his arm and spun him to look into his deep black eyes.

"Umm... now I have a question." Neo averted his eyes.

O-ka~ay. Shoot." Sora frowned. Now he was just wasting time.

"Do you know what the... Matrix is?" Neo locked eyes with Sora. Sora felt his breath hitch. He thought he found the reason to be on this world furthur.

"No. Should I?"

"No. Nevermind. I hope you find your friend." Neo grinned and waved as Sora turned away with a half smile. Strange.

xXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXx

Matrix... Matrix... What did that mean? It sounded like something important. Like something you were supposed to know and remember. But Sora couldn't even concentrate on it he was so exhausted. He left the club almost immediately after saying goodbye to Neo. Then he wandered around some before collapsing in some alley. Sora frowned upon his self. What would Kairi say if she knew he was going to be sleeping in some alley tonight. What would...Riku...

xXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXx

Aqua...marine...

xXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXx

Sora groaned. He had spent the entirety of the morning asking random people if they had seen Riku. None of them had. Of course. Now he was sitting in front of some large building. Sora couldn't remember a time where he felt worse... That's not true at all. There are plenty of times he could recall. But really it's the feeling of being utterly lost. He hated it.

Sora jumped slightly when the doors to the building were pushed open and the people around him started whispering and a few voices rang out telling them to "get back". Sora turned around and hopped off the steps when a man being held by two officers came trudging down the steps. The man's eyes flicked to Sora briefly and there was suprise in them for a moment before he was pushed into the car.

"Neo..." Sora whispered the man's name. Sora felt the urge to keep his eye on him from now on... Was something about to happen?

xXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXx

Silver...

xXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXxxXoXx

It was pouring. Absolutely pouring. And Sora didn't even have a hood. He felt like a wet dog. He squeezed his fist. Where his keyblade usually is. That reminded him. Where were the Heartless? Was this one of those rare havens? That would be a nice change. Sora frowned and shook his head. Focus on Neo. He looked under the bridge Neo was standing under. He was just standing there. Waiting for someone? Or something? He gasped when a black car showed up and a woman with short black hair stepped out and spoke to him before they both got in the back. Sora quickly leaned casually against the bridge when the car began to speed away. He kept his eyes on it untill it was a good distance away. Then he jumped. High into the air. Going higher and higher with each flip and twist he did untill he could spot the car from far away. He glided. Fast. Though it was difficult in the rain. He focused. He narrowed his eyes when a blood curtling scream poured from the car. What was going on?

The car stopped in front of an abandoned building. Four people got out of the car and moved quickly into the building. Sora sped up landed in front of the it. It was massive. Brick. The rain was pouring off it in quarts. Sora shut his eyes and walked straight through the small water fall and winced when he was pelted by the water. He was officially soaked from top to bottom. Back to front. He looked back at the clouded, night sky and missed Riku for the thousandth time that day. He hated fighting with Riku. And being unable to make-up. Sora felt horrible. He looked at the large metal doors infront of him and took the handle in his grasp. Pulling them firmly, stepping inside, and closing them behind him. He looked from side to side and heard the sound of a door closing echo to his left. He moved swiftly down the left hallway. Toward the sound. And paused at the door. He heard voices. They were, for the most part, hard to make out. Only some statements. Something about Alice in Wonderland? Sora's eyes widened. Did who ever they were know about the other worlds!? Sora pressed his ear against the door. He heard, "You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up." Sora frowned. What is going on? "You have felt as though there was something wrong with the world your whole life. You still think that way. This is why you sit at your computer night after night-" Sora huffed and thought 'Say something that makes sense!'

"What is the Matrix?" Sora smiled at Neo's familiar voice. Then it was the only familiar thing on that world. He would cling to it. It was all he had. "The Matrix is everwhere. It is the walls around you. The sky above you. Your alarm clock that wakes you to get ready for work. The chair you sit upon." Sora looked around him for a moment. What was that supposed to mean? Was the world an illusion? Was only he in the illusion? What was the the actual world? Was Riku on it? Was he running in circles for nothing!? Or was that the name of the world? If so, wouldn't Neo already know that?

"You are seeking the truth." Sora didn't want to wait anymore. He wanted what he knew. He didn't want to be confused. Sora slid down the doors and rested on the floor, his head leaning on the door. He only half listened to the rest of the conversation. He made out something about blue and red pills, a crash of thunder and lightning around him and then sounds of moving. Sora jolted upward. He could move in! He cracked the door open when he heard the sound of a door opening from inside. He peeked inside and saw Neo being led into a room by a black, bald man wearing a black coat and dark sunglasses. When they retreated into the new room Sora moved fully into the room. Closing the door quietly behind him. He strode across the floor to the other door and felt safe enough to crack it open oh-so-slowly. He peeked inside when there was enough room and his eyes widened as he took in the many computers in the room. He spotted Neo. And the man from before. Some other people wearing all black. Which Sora found odd. Why all black? But Sora gasped as a hint of silver caught his eyes and the most utterly familiar voice sang through the quiet talking of Neo and the other man.

"Morpheus. We're being watched." Sora gasped and backed away from the door when the man with dark sunglasses ripped open the door and pointed a gun at his face. Sora's keyblade materialized almost instantly. And Sora had to move quickly as he was being shot at several times. He dodged and blocked with his keyblade and was honestly suprised he hadn't been hit when the gunfire quit. Sora breathed deeply and his eyes flicked past the man to the figure with silver hair standing next to Neo. He wore a black organization coat and a black blindfold over his eyes. His mouth was dropped in obvious shock. And Sora wanted nothing more than to cry. Which he did. A tear slid down his cheek slowly at the sight of his best friend. Clad in darkness once again. How had this happened? Sora thought Riku no longer needed the darkness.

"Who are you!? Who sent you!?" The man called Morpheus demanded.

"No one," Sora choked out. Though after wards he wondered why he was answering to him and not moving.

"What bussiness do yo-" Morpheus was cut off by Sora's strained voice.

"Nothing..." Another tear slid down his face.

"Sora?" Sora looked up at Neo who looked utterly confused, "What are you-?"

"He's..." The silver haired one next to him tried to speak but only turned his head. What was Sora supposed to do? Leave? No he couldn't. He found what he was looking for. But now he wanted to rewind and make himself more prepared for it. Ultima dissipated from his hand and he stood up straighter. No one spoke. No one knew what to say. Sora lowered his head so his bangs covered his eyes. He felt more lost than before. He felt horrible. He cried harder. The tears flowed in time with the rain drops outside. And before he could think he was running to his best friend. His arms wrapping around his waist. He sobbed into his chest.

"Sora..." Riku fell against the weight and they both collapsed to the floor.

"R-Riku... I-I looked ev-every where for-for you..." Sora smushed his face into the older's chest.

"Are you alright?" Riku ran a hand through the brunette's hair calmly.

"Y-yeah. But-but you! You look like you did at-at The World that Never Was..." Sora looked up at Riku's blindfolded eyes and frowned. He wanted to see those eyes so badly. He wanted them to search his own like they always do. He...

Aquamarine...

"It's only when I'm here. I can't really explain right now. But when we do leave... no. You'll already understand by then." Riku frowned thoughtfully.

"Riku... I... I... I hate this world!" Sora frowned at himself. Why had he said that?

"What? Why?" Riku asked. Sora could feel the people in the room around them shift their weight.

"I'm... not sure... I want to leave... I want... to be with you Riku," Sora hugged him again.

shielded by black...

"Sora..." Riku lifted the brunette's head with two fingers on his chin. And pressed his lips against his. Sora's eyes widened briefly before fluttering closed. He felt like he was flying. Through all the happy memories they shared. He was flying through them. He heard the few gasps in the room around them. But ignored them. He wanted nothing more than this. But. It was wrong somehow. Riku looked like darkness. Yet. It was still Riku. That was all that mattered.

"I want you to wait for me on this world," Riku sighed when they parted.

"What!? Never! You won't leave me! I won't... leave you..." Sora tugged on a strand of Riku's silver hair. Like a determined child.

Riku sighed and helped Sora stand with him. And slowly led him to the door. He turned to Morpheus, "I promise I won't be long." Sora looked at Riku in disbelief. He didn't actually expect him to leave him!?

I still can't see them...

"I'm not leaving this world... persay, I'm leaving the idea of this world." Riku tried to explain once they were safely on the other side of the door. Sora frowned at him. Riku sighed, "Just listen," He ran his thumb across Sora's cheek affectionately, "This world is a dream. Created by...uhh, alien like robots. See. In the real world humans created these alien like robots. And took great pride in doing so. But they were too intelligent. So they fought the humans. And it was the humans that, as Morpheus said, "scorched the sky". The aliens needed a power source. So they put all humans to sleep in these gel like cocoons. And they get their energy from them. Humans are no longer being birthed on the real world. But grown." Sora stared in horror at what his best friend was telling him. He couldn't even begin to believe...

"Are all the worlds like this!?" Sora gasped.

"I assure you no. This is just some kind of crazy world that we were... thrown at." Riku frowned.

"OH! RIKU I'M SO SORRY! It was an accident. It's my fault we were separated. I'm sorry." Sora wiped his eye with a gloved hand.

"No. It's not your fault Sora. I made you mad. I should have never said that. I guess I was pretty tense. I'm sorry." Sora frowned at Riku.

He shook his head, "So you ended up on the real world?"

"Yes," Riku sighed, "And you in the dream one."

"But why do you want me to stay here?" Sora tipped his head to the side.

Riku chuckled, "Because the real world is dangerous. And I don't want you mixed up in their problems too."

Sora sighed and was about to tell him he would be fine when the door opened behind them.

"Riku?" The woman with black hair.

"Yes?" Riku turned away from Sora and smiled at the woman.

"We can't wait any longer." she dissappeared.

Riku sighed and turned back to Sora. Taking his hands in his own, "I love you Sora. Be safe." Riku turned and dissappeared behind the door. Sora reached a hand after him. But for once. Stayed put.

"I love you too Riku... Be safer..."

But I know they're shimmering...

Elegantly...

As always.

You know I had to watch the begining of The Matrix to get this right!?!? It was annoying because the action is really fucking LOUD! And the Dialouge is sooooo damn quiet. I had both the tv remote and the dvd remote in hand. Volume up. Vloume down. Volume up. Volume down. Pause. Write notes. Play. Volume up. Volume down. Pause. Write. Play. Pause. Write. Play. Volume up. VOLUME FUCKING DOWN!!!

It got kiiiiiinda annoying. But I love this chappy! I like writing in Sora's point of view! I 'm now sorta lost as to what to do next. But I have a preeeeety good idea as to what.

Oh and i know The Matrix isn't Disney. But I thought it'd be cool!! After this I'll do Disney Movies but really. I didn't know how to start it. I wanted to have them fight and split up and stuff. But the only other world I could have them do that would be Pocahontas and I'm planning on using that for a similar situation in another fan-fic. Out of the question.

You know what to do!!! R&FR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
