"A nobody would be perfect for this…", she whispered to herself, grinned evilly.
So, she ventured once again to search for a heartless or anything to rip her heart so a Nobody would came out. Then, she arrived at a world named 'World That Never Was' and met a boy named Roxas, he said:

The Market Meeting
"You know, I think he had liked you for a long time."
Sora was lying on his bed, watching the sun light entered the small room from the window beside him. A clock was hanged on the wall, showing 6 AM. It's too early. But he couldn't sleep anymore. What Kairi said had made him confused. First she said she would help, then she made him down. Now she said that Riku had a feeling towards him, told him to keep forward, while she formed that kind of smile. As if she didn't like that, even a little.
The brunette frowned at this thought. Kairi was the one who told him not to give up. She's the one who started this silly game, put herself as a bet. So what's wrong with that smile!? She supposed to courage him!
"I really can't understand girl…", Sora murmured to himself, shut his eyes closed as he tried to sleep once more. Thanks to Kairi, he just slept about 5 hours less. Her words kept flying on his mind and kept his eyes opened.
After about one minute and he didn't get any result, Sora opened his blue eyes to confront the ceiling. He sighed, "It's useless… really."
So he decided to get up, stretching his arms in his front, "Maybe a little stroll will do," he thought, and then walked to the dresser. He took a white shirt and a brown trousers and walked to the bathroom.
It didn't take too long when he finally finished his bath and was looking at himself through the mirror. Well, he looked really lifeless today. Seemed so out of energy, no one can blame him though since he didn't have any good sleep yesterday. He sighed a little, threw his gaze to the window. The weather was really nice, not cold and the sun was visible. Think that the outside air would help him a little, he smiled, took his favorite black jacket and went downstairs.
There's Aerith who greeted him when he passed the kitchen door, "Good morning Sora. Why do you get up so early?", she smiled at her younger brother.
"Can't sleep. After all, the weather outside seemed so nice, so I think I'll take a walk. I'll be back before breakfast!", Sora said cheerfully.
"Really? That's weird that you can't sleep. Oh, well. Have a nice walk then, be careful", the brunette lady replied, as she continued to prepare the breakfast.

The morning air was really fresh, made the brunette to inhale it deeply. He really felt better now, as if nothing had bothered him. Everything seemed so great, especially when a wind came blowing pass his face. The cold wind made his heart a lot more relax. The other great thing was when the sun light passed his body, made him to feel warm and comfort. He couldn't help but to smile at this. Sora walked a little more to the park near his house, think that it'll be very great to be there in this weather when he saw a familiar figure was walking from a far.
"Hey, Yuffie!!"
The said girl turned her face, and met the brunette who was running towards her. She formed a soft smile to him.
"Good morning, Sora! Taking a morning stroll?", she said, as Sora finally stood in front of her.
"Yeah. It's a very nice day, isn't it?", he said, a smile on his face.
"Sure it is. Morning air always be a great thing, you know", She replied, before she looked at the brunette intensely. "You looked so down. What's wrong?"
"Uh, I kind of having insomniac last night," Sora answered, "No need to worry about me!! I'm fine, really!!", he quickly added as he saw the black haired girl seemed afraid.
"You really think you are? Aerith told me that you're a good sleeper. It's weird that you can't sleep…", Yuffie said, still a little looked worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine!! By the way, what are you doing here so early?", Sora asked.
"Well, I think I'll go to the market", she answered, showing her shopping bag to the brunette. "You know, our food supplies are decreasing quickly. My two little sisters seem to grow up really healthy."
"Whoa, that must be thought", Sora commented, as the girl nodded in agreement.
"Sure is!! I have no choice but to go almost every day!! Can you believe it!? Man, I hate this!!", she complained, a little annoyed to remember her life.
"…Want me to accompany you? You seemed so distress…", Sora offered, looked a little bit worried about the other teen.
"You want to? Do you really think you're okay?", Yuffie asked, lifting an eyebrow. "Aerith said you can't go in any places with crowd."
"It's okay! I'll be fine!", Sora said cheerfully. "Well, if I don't have any contact I'll be fine…", he thought.
"Oh, well. I'd like to…. Thanks!!", the girl said gratefully.
"You're welcome", Sora replied.
"Ok, then. Shall we?", Yuffie said and walked in front, led them to the market.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The market was located in the center of the town so everyone could get there rather easily. It's a very strategic place and was the only market available in this town, so it's not a surprise to see it's always crowded. Even in this morning.
"So many people…", Sora said in startled, looking at the crowd.
"Never been here before? Whoa, you're such a strange person", Yuffie commented, looking at the brunette in amusement.
"Is it always like this?," he asked, tilting his head as he face the girl beside him.
"It is. Every morning. People need food, don't they?", Yuffie answered, looking at the stalls. "Oh, well. Seems like I better go to the groceries first. Don't want to get late!"
She walked to the said place—into the crowd….
"…. Damn", the brunette thought as he followed the other.
He tried his best to stick with Yuffie, but it was beginning to be a difficult thing after they got into the crowd. There were too many people that it was impossible not to get contact with someone else. Even though Sora had tried not to touch them, he couldn't, and this situation began to make his head hurt.
"Yuff—", Sora tried to call her, but was cut when he was crushed into the ground. "Ouch!!"
"Sorry, are you okay?"
The brunette looked up, there he saw a tall man bent above him. He had a brown shoulder-length hair, and grey eyes. A huge scar was visible between his eyes, made him looked very dangerous. His long blue coat covered his black shirt and his black jeans.
"Uh…I'm okay…", Sora said, eyes locked to the scar.
The taller man extended his hand to the boy, "Can you stand?"
"Ye-yeah", Sora said nervously as he stood up by himself, ignoring the offered hand. Well, he knew that it's not polite, but- it's better than he ended up kicking the man…. It's better not to touch anyone if you knew that you're going to feel discomfort.
"Sorry that I struck you. This place too crowded, really", he said, gazing at the surrounding. "Can't see clearly."
"It's okay!! Beside, it's my fault too that I didn't see someone in front of me!!", Sora replied, then bowed. "I'm sorry to make you worried!!"
"Sora!! What are you doing?"
The little brunette turned and found Yuffie was standing behind him, holding some vegetables.
"Oh, sorry!! I'm really sorry!! I was crushed and--", Sora said in panic, and was cut by the girl.
"Nah, I'm not mad at you about that!! You're not supposed to talk with a stranger!!", Yuffie said, glaring at the tall brunette.
"Hey, I didn't do anything bad", the man said, in annoyed tone.
"Whatever, let's go, Sora!", the girl said, as she grabbed Sora's wrist and pulled him.
"Uh, um. Bye!!", Sora said, waving to the stranger as he followed Yuffie, who was still glaring to whom, I don't know.
"You're so clumsy!! You made me worried, you know!!", she finally said when they reached a place that wasn't too crowded, to the corner of the market.
"Sorry!! I can't see my road clearly, too many people!!", Sora said in excuses.
Yuffie sighed a little, she glanced at the brunette for awhile before she said, "And you shouldn't talk with stranger. There are many bad guys these days."
"Oh…. I know, but he doesn't look like a bad guy. It's just his scar that make him look dangerous…", Sora said, index finger tapping his cheek.
"Looks can lies. Be careful next time!", Yuffie said, pointing her finger to the brunette.
"Ok, ma'am", the other said, grinning.
The girl smiled too, but then sighed. "So you really can't go with this crowd, huh? How about you wait for me here?"
"Wait? Well… I think it's fine…", Sora answered hesitantly.
"I'll be right back", Yuffie said, as she walked away.
The brunette let out a sigh passed his lips, as he leaned to the nearest wall and watched the crowd from afar.
"I really hate this…. I never thought the crowd will be this bad…", he thought. "But alone like this is boring too…."
He closed his eyes and sighed again. "But, I think I should be grateful that 'he' didn't awake…. To think that I almost passed out."
"Hey little lady, what are you doing here alone?"
Sora snapped his eyes to open, and was greeted by a group of men-not ordinary men, but big men-surrounded him, smirk plastered on their face.
"Hey, it's not a lady! It's a boy!!", one of the men said in surprise, and made the rest of the group surprised too.
"A boy? Wow, too bad", the other man said, observing the little brunette from head to body. "He has a really nice body as a boy, though", he smirked.
The brunette's face paled as he looked around in panicked, searching for anything that might help him. But it looked like no one's aware with him. And even if he screamed too, it looked like no one will hear him since the market was so crowded.
"Hey, boy. Do you know that this is our place?", one of the men, who seemed like their boss (because he's the biggest) talked.
"Uh? No! Sorry!! I think I'll—", Sora said in panic as he tried to walk away, but his arm was grabbed by one of the men, and he was shoved to the wall hardly. To this action, Sora let out a gasp of pain.
"Hey, hey. Don't be scared!! We're not going to harm you!!", the man who grabbed him said with an annoying smirk.
Not going to harm me YOU ASS.
Sora's eyes widened, and his face paler. "Was that…?"
"What 'was that'?", the boss asked, moving closer and bent down so his eyes were in the level of Sora's.
Come on, Sora. Just let me out! I know you're not comfort with them around!!
Sora's heart began to beat faster. Head began to feel dizzy. He tried his best to speak though, "Please… Let me go!!"
"Oh, we will. If you pay some money", the other man said, as he slid his hand to the brunette's cheek and stroke the smooth skin. This contact made Sora shuddered with fright.
"Oh, Damn…. Everything will be worsen if they don't let me go!!", he thought, as he squeezed his blue eyes shut, trying to keep his consciousness, "I…don't have money."
"Huh? And you think we're going to believe that? Hey boys, frisk him!!", the boss ordered.
Sora shot open his eyes in frightened, and saw the men stepped closer to him. "Wha—don't—DON'T TOUCH ME!!"
In just a second, a hurtful sound was heard and the man who grabbed his arm had fallen to the ground. He winced painfully as his nose bleed dangerously. He squeaked, "Bo-boss!!"
"Huh. Limps. How DARE you place a hand on me!! It's good enough that I didn't kill you!!", Sora yelled at the man and glaring, well, not Sora, but the drive. Seemed that the contact had made his drive took over his consciousness.
The boss looked at his man for a second, then to Sora, then to the man again. He gulped a bit, before he spoke, "You little brat…"
"What? Didn't like it? Come on! I'll take you all with my own hands!!", Sora said, positioning himself in battle mode.
"Hey, stop that or I'll call the security!"
All of them turned to the voice, and saw a silver-haired teen was standing quite far from there, folded his arms. "I'm serious, you know!!", he yelled.
"Ugh. Let's go!!", their boss commanded and the group ran away.
The silver-haired teen-Riku-approached the brunette who was still glaring at those men. He sighed and said, "You shouldn't make problems with them. Can't you see the different size of you body?"
He stopped beside the brunette, still folded his arms. "Hey, you hear me?"
Sora turned his face and now glaring at the teen. "I don't need your help. I could take care of them by myself."
"I'm trying to be nice, you know", Riku replied, a little annoyed. "After all, I didn't harm you. So what's with that glare?"
"I just like to glare. And because the ones that I want to glare had ran off, I decide to glare at you", he stated bluntly, still glaring at the silver-haired boy.
"O…kay?", Riku said, arching his eyebrow in confusion. "I thought you're not the type who likes to glare?"
"You're wrong then," the other replied, now gazing at anything else beside the boy stood in front of him.
"…What's with the sudden change? You're not like that yesterday. At least yesterday morning. To think of it…you're acting weird since yesterday…," Riku said, trailed off.
"I'll tell you why, because you're around. You make me sick that I want to kill you right now", Sora said, eyes locked to the aquamarine ones. "Too bad that doing that would only make me being thrown into the jail."
Riku's eyes widened at this statement. "Whoa, really?"
"Sure is. Now go as long as you still have your legs", the brunette added, narrowing his gaze to the boy.
"Heh, I'm scared", Riku said, smirking.
"…", Sora glared at the taller teen dangerously. "Do you want me to show you or what?"
"Show what? What can you do? Begging for Kairi to help you?", Riku sneered, leaned forward.
"Shut up. Or I'll do it", Sora threatened, hands on his hip.
"But little Sora, Kairi's not here today! No mommy for you to cry on, huh?", he said, ignoring the brunette's warning.
"Don't force me."
"And what? Don't joking around saying you'll teach me a lesson", Riku said, smirking widely at the smaller boy. He stopped his smirked when Sora stepped closer though, and as Riku still leaned his body, his face was only a few centimeters from the brunette…
Now it's Sora's turn to formed a smirk on his face, "Oh, really? Do you really think I'm not going to give you lesson?"
"I'm better at everything than you", Riku said as he pulled himself, smirking at the smaller boy again.
"Show me", Sora said, before he kicked Riku hardly at his… sensitive place.
"…!!", Riku couldn't say anything instead of some groan as he kneeled to his feet.
"Ha. Got you," Sora smirked and bent down. "Now little Riku can't say anything, can he? Poor kid…."
"You little…", Riku said between his hiss. It's really hurt, you know….
"Told you I'll give you lesson. Don't underestimate me just because you're older," the brunette said, poked the other teen head. "You know, older means you're going to be grandpa sooner than me. That's—not something you could be proud of."
"I'm only older than you one year!!", Riku snapped, glaring at the brunette.
"Older is older. Gee, you're acting like a kid," Sora commented, stood again and placed his hands on his hip, eyebrow arched.
"Who's the one acting like a kid, anyway!?", Riku yelled, now standing firmly.
"Don't argue with me. Or… you want to taste it again," Sora threatened, smirk plastered on his lips.
"…", Riku let out a long sigh passed his lips then folded his arms. "Ok. Who are you? Sora's twins?"
"What do you care? Don't tell me you actually worried about me," Sora said, arched his eyebrow.
"NEVER EVER!! You stupid bastard!! I would never care about what the hell happen to you," Riku snapped angrily, his face redden by anger now…
"Good. Don't ever, I would never accept you for being with me," the brunette said, then sighed. "I feel bad for Kairi though…"
The other teen stared at Sora in confusion as his jaw fell open. "What the hell…? 'Would never accept me for being with you'?"
The brunette nodded, "Uh-huh. Hate you so much. Don't ever try to get nearer to me."
"So why did you give me the chocolate and start this silly game? Damn, My head hurts…", Riku asked, rubbed his forehead.
"…", Sora stared at him in silence, then threw his gaze from him and shut his eyes. "I never admit you to be with him. He's too good for you. Oh, well. Bye."
"What bye!? Hey, you—", Riku snapped, but he didn't see the brunette's trying to move.
"…Hey?", he called, poked the smaller teen's shoulder.
The brunette opened his eyes slowly, showing the beautiful cerulean color it hid. He blinked twice, before his eyes widened as it stared to the other teen in his front.
"Ri-Riku!? What are you doing here? Where are those big men!?", he said, panicked as he looked around in a dazed way.
Riku arched his eyebrow, stared at the boy in amusement. "Well, you punched one of them and I have to stopped you before you killed them."
"WHAT!? Oh, well, yeah, of course that, oh, no….", Sora said nervously, hid his face with his hands. "Damnit…."
"…You okay? Don't acting that strange, you freak me out," Riku said, stared at the smaller boy in confusion.
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine, really. Thanks for worrying me," Sora said, revealing his smile as he took his hands down.
"I'm NOT worrying about you! You just freak me out!!", Riku snapped, correcting the younger teen.
"Oh, okay…. Sorry then," the brunette said, looking at the taller teen hesitantly. "I… didn't do anything, right?"
"What?"
"Forget it. Uh, Sorry for everything I have done and haven't though," Sora quickly said, avoiding the other's gaze.
"…what's that? You're weird," Riku stated sharply—which strangely made Sora shocked.
"Uh…. So he DOES think that I'm weird!!", Sora thought loudly in his mind, as he sighed. "Haha…. Yeah, I'm weird."
"Sora!! Sorry I'm late!!"
Sora turned to the voice's source. There's Yuffie came running towards him, carrying some stuffs as her shopping result. The girl stopped beside the brunette, panting. "Sorry, so sorry!!"
"It's okay, Yuffie, I'm fine," Sora said, smiled a bit at the girl.
The black haired girl smiled too, then took a glance at the silver-haired teen, then back at the brunette. "I'm sure have warned you not to talk with stranger."
"He's not stranger, Yuffie!! Uh, this is Riku, my friend. Riku, this is Yuffie," Sora said, introducing each other.
"I'm not your friend," Riku said sharply.
"Oh, yeah," Sora blushed a bit. "He's my—boyfriend…"
To this, he got a knock on his head. "Ouch! Ri-Riku?", Sora winced.
"Who's your boyfriend!? Don't state it by yourself!!", Riku snapped, he looked very angry….
Yuffie just stared at the two boys, eyes widened and jaw opened. "Boy…friend?"
"Correction: He's my enemy," Riku said towards the girl.
To Sora's disappointment, he caught a disgust look at Yuffie's face. Now he's going to lose one more friend…
"Uh…. Well, whatever. I think I gotta go, sorry Sora!", She said as she walked away hurriedly.
Both Sora and Riku stood there in silence for a minute.
"What's wrong with her? As if a ghost is chasing her," Riku said in curious tone.
"She's disgusted by me…. Haha…. One friend to lose again…", Sora muttered, fake smile on his face. He sighed. "Great…"
Riku just stared at him for a moment, then at the girl who had walked quite far from them. "Well, what do you expect? You're different, that's why she can't accept you."
"Yeah…. I know that." The brunette closed his eyes desperately, "I just… still can't accept to be thrown every time they know about me a lot deeper…."
Silence surrounded the two teens while the crowd was still exist. Riku sighed at this situation, then walked away, leaving the brunette alone. Sora sighed, then lost in his thought again. "Okay, everyone hates me now…"
Kairi's not.
"Okay, except Kairi."
How about your family?
"…Okay, except them."
…. It's good to know that there are still people who care about you. You should be grateful.
"…Yeah."
Good.
"But…Can't you just let me? Don't be too overprotective…"
No can do. I'm worried about you if I don't.
"… You make me suffer…."
…. It's better than to be hurt.
"…"
I don't want you to.
"… Okay. I understand."
And then he left the market, to go back to his home.

Riku stood beside a vending machine in front of a grocery. Tapping his foot on the ground as his hands folded on his chest. He looked around in an impatient look, and then sighed. He looked at his watch, showing 7.00, then at the crowd. He sighed again, folded his arms again. Now he closed his eyes and leaned back to the wall behind him. That's when he heard footsteps came closer to him.
"You're late."
The silver haired teen now opened his eyes and glared at a man in front of him. The man had a shoulder length brown hair, grey eyes, and a huge scar between his eyes. His hands were full with food supplies.
"Sorry, It's really crowded here," He said, as he approached Riku.
"It is!! Why don't you just go to the supermarket instead of this place!? I really can't understand you, Leon!!", Riku snapped, eyes still glaring at the man, whose name is Leon.
"Just want to try a new atmosphere. Come on!! It's not that bad! I even met a cute boy just then," He said, looked at the boy seriously.
"….", Riku stared at him for a moment. "You know, I still can't believe you're a gay…."
"But I am. Ok, that's enough. Let's go, Axel's waiting," He said, and walked away.

"I'm home."
Sora had arrived at his house and was entering the kitchen now. There he saw his mother and his big sister sat on the chair circling the table. On the table were some sandwiches and three glasses of tea.
"Welcome home, Sora. The breakfast is ready, come on!", his mother said cheerfully.
"Good morning, Mom. Are you feeling okay today?", Sora greeted as he sat on a chair beside his mother and took a sandwich.
"I'm fine, just like usual. Your sister takes good care of me, you know," she said, smiling at her son warmly. "But you look a little pale, what's wrong, honey?"
"Nothing serious. Just because of his lack of sleep, Mom," Aerith replied, and took a sip from her glass.
"Really," his mother said, arching her eyebrow, as she looked at the little brunette.
"Aerith's right. No need to worry about me!", Sora said cheerfully, took another sandwich.
"Oh, yeah. Kairi came this morning, she's in your bedroom now, " Aerith said suddenly.
"Kairi? This morning? That's weird…," Sora said in curiousness, yet amazed.
"Yeah. But you're acting weird too today. Maybe it's a 'let's act weird' day…," his big sister said, took another sip from her glass.
"Not funny. Ok, then, I'll go check on her," Sora said as he got up and kissed his mother on her cheek before he left the kitchen to his bedroom.
"Kairi! Good morning!!," Sora greeted as he opened his bedroom's door, and met a red haired girl was sitting on a chair.
"Oh, hey Sora. Morning," She replied, smiling to him as she stood up.
"What's wrong? You came so early…," Sora asked, tilting his head to side as he walked into the room and sat on the edge of his bed.
"And that's weird of you to awake so early," she said, then chuckle a bit.
"So? Is there anything you want to talk with me?," the brunette asked, glanced at the girl in curiousness.
She took out something from her pocket then walked to the brunette and handed it. "For you."
"What's this?," Sora asked as he looked at his hand, two tickets.
"Tickets to Destiny Paradise. It's a very big amusement park, you know!," She grinned, as she joined the brunette, sat on the bed.
"…So?"
"What so? You have to get Riku to this place!!", Kairi said firmly. "As your first date, this will be very great!!," She added with grin.
"What? First date? I thought I've had that?," Sora said, confused.
"Your visit to Riku yesterday? Hah! What first date would be like that!? That's not any date!!," Kairi snapped.
"…Don't you think it's too quick?," Sora said, staring at the tickets on his hand carefully. "I mean… it's only 3 days and—"
"YOU MORON!! How many times should I tell you that you have to move quickly!? Remember!! You only have 26 days more!! It's a really short time!!," Kairi said with enthusiast, as she locked her eyes to the brunette's.
"…Kairi…," Sora said desperately.
"No, no, no. Do what I say," Kairi stated sharply.
The brunette sighed, looking at the tickets again. "Kairi gave me this… but…", he thought.
"What's wrong, Sora?," The girl asked, tilting her head.
"Kairi…. I saw you were a little sad yesterday…," Sora said hesitantly, looking at the girl. "If you don't think that you could help me, you don't have to…."
"…. Moron, I'm sad because you're too slow!!," Kairi said, ruffled the brunette's hair. "You're too slow that I began to get impatient!! I'm scared that you're going to lose if you keep this pace!!"
"Hey, hey! Don't mess with my hair!!," Sora snapped, glaring at the girl who was grinning widely.
"I want you to be happy, you know," She said, smiling at him.
Sora looked at her for awhile before he nodded and formed the best smile he could make, "…Thanks."
"That's my Sora! Your smile is always the best!!," She said, ruffled his hair again.
"Kairi!! Stop that!!", Sora yelled, annoyed by the girl's action.
"Okay, okay," she chuckled then stopped. "So, when will you ask him?"
"…I think tomorrow? I don't feel like to ask him today…," Sora said, glanced at the girl again. "Hey…. Could you go with me though?"
"This is your date!! You can't ask people to accompany you! Cause it won't be a date anymore!!," Kairi said loudly in unbelievable tone.
"Oh…."
"You have to ask him tomorrow, ok? Or you'll know…," Kairi said, showing her fist.
"To remind you, my drive could do better than you and beat you down in 1 second," Sora said as he looked at the fist.
"Oh, no. He won't. He even trusted me to do that."
"…Damnit…."
