Me: Nothing new there. On with the story!

Chapter 4:

RikuxSora: No Fucking Way!

Rrrrriiiiiiinnnngggg! Rirrrrriiiiinnngggg!

"Alright! Alright! I'm coming, already!" a voice shouted.

Rrrrrrrrrriiiiinn—

"Hello?"

"Kisa?" a voice said on the other line.

"Megumi? Why hello! It's been so long!" the woman, now know as Kisa, said in to the phone receiver.

"That it has!" said the other woman. "Quick turn on your television to the music channel!" Megumi said excidedly.

"Um, alright." Kisa walked into the livingroom with the wireless house phone. "Sephiroth! Riku! Put on the music channel, will you?" she asked them.

"What for?" Riku asked, turning his head so he could look at his mother.

"Don't question me young man! Just do what I tell you!" she ordered.

"Okay! Okay!" Riku said as he turned back to the television and flipped to the music channel with the remote.

"Alright. I have it on Megumi." Kisa said into the phone.

'Megumi? As in Sora's mother?' Riku thought.

"Good! Now just watch! It should be on in a few seconds!" Megumi squealed.

"Hey viewers! For those of you just tuning in, the judges have already made their decision on which local band won this years Battle of the Bands!" the man on television said. "But before we tell you who won, why don't we go back and see each band one more time!"

"A music contest?" Sephiroth said, putting down the book he was reading.

"Now what on earth would you want me to see on this channel, Megumi?" Kisa asked curiously.

"Not only you! The boys as well!" Megumi said, her voice filled with happiness.

"Oh, well why didn't you say so?" Kisa replied.

"Oi! That's Yume! And Mizuki and Hayner!" Riku said pointing to the television.

"What?!" Kisa quickly looked at the television. "Oh my goodness! It is!" Kisa said with a smile.

"Alright folks! Now for the moment you've all been waiting for! The winner of the contest is…… 'The Sweet Avengers'!"

The camera did a close up of Yume and her band. Yume and Mizuki were bouncing up and down, screaming with joy, while Hayner had a look of triumph on his face.

"They won!!" Kisa cheered, almost dropping the phone.

"NO FUCKING WAY!" Riku shouted.

"Riku! Language!" Kisa scolded. "Hello?! Megumi? Yes, we just saw! They won!" Kisa said with joy.

"I know!" Megumi squealed. "I'll call you back soon, alright?"

"Alright! Goodbye!" Kisa said, hanging up the phone. The three of them began to watch the television in interest now. Yume began to speak in the microphone.

"Hell yeah! Thank you so much guys for picking us!" Yume said happily. "I want all of you to see two of a few people who inspired me and my band!" Yume motioned with her hand for two people to get up on the stage. "This here is my cousin Roxas!" Yume ruffled his hair a little. "And this cutie pie is my other cousin, Sora!"

Riku's jaw dropped.

"That's Sora?!" he shouted, getting a little closer to the television screen.

"Oh my! Look how much he has grown!" Kisa cooed. "Such a handsome young man he turned out to be!"

'Handsome?!' Riku said in his mind, shocked by the word his mother used. 'He's not handsome, the kid's drop dead, fucking gorgeous!' Riku continued to stare at the boy on television that was currently jumping up and down with Yume and Mizuki. He noticed that Sora did get taller. How much, wasn't sure of on a count he was only seeing him on the television and not in person. Sra also lost a lot of his baby fat, but a little was still there on his face.

"Sora still has that weird hairstyle of his." Sephiroth pointed out.

Indeed Sora did. Sora changed a lot physically, but judging by the way he was jumping for glee with Yume, his personality was still the same.

'As well as those beautiful eyes of his.' Riku thought. They were exactly the same. Over the years, Sora's sapphire blue eyes hadn't lost their beautiful shine and glow.

'I wish I could see him in person.' Riku thought.

"So Yume, who do you plan on taking to Destiny Islands with you and your band?" the announcer asked.

'Someone up in the heavens must love me!' Riku cheered in his head.

"Well, my cousins of course! The whole band agreed to it!" Yume said happily.

"YES!" Riku shouted.

"Does that mean that those children have to stay here?" Sephiroth asked his mother annoyed.

"Can you please tell us the names of your cousins again?" the man asked.

"Sure! Roxas and Sora of course! And my eldest cousin Cloud!"

Riku and Kisa looked at Sephiroth. He quickly got up from his chair and headed for the stairs.

"I'll prepare the guestrooms." he said as he walked up the stairs.

Riku and Kisa snickered.

'I can't believe it. He's actually coming back! This is my chance to tell him how I feel!' Riku said within his mind. 'But what if he hates me? What if he'll think that I'm weird for liking him?!' yet again, another trip down the road of negativity.

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.

All the kids in Xaldin sensei's stared at the clock above the whiteboard with much intensity. Just three more minutes until school was dismissed for summer vacation. Yume had begun to bite her nails in anticipation. Her left eye seemed to twitch a little from growing impatient. Roxas had gotten into a position in his chair so he'd be ready to bolt out of his seat. Sora was tapping his pencil on his desk as he watched the clock with annoyance.

3:28

Two more minutes. Mizuki was practically bouncing in her seat, a little smile on her face. Yume had bitten all of her nails, so she reached over and took Roxas's hand and began to bite his nails.

3:29

"One more minute. One more minute. One. More. Minute." Yume said to herself over and over. Everyone held their breath as the clock continued to tick.

30 seconds.

Sora got ready to jump out of his seat, as did Roxas, Yume, and Mizuki.

20 seconds.

'Hurry up damnit!' Sora screamed in his mind. He glared at the clock, hoping it would burst into flames.

20 seconds.

Yume was already standing up, ready to make a mad dash to the exit. Mizuki had a couple of noise makers in her hands, waiting to set them off when the clock struck 3:30.

10…9…8…7…6…

Everyone got up from theirs seats.

5…4…3…2…1…

……………

Nothing.

"WHAT THE FUCKING BLOODY HELL??!!" Yume screamed. "WHERE THE HELL IS THE 'RING!' HUH??!!" Oh my….. anger management, no?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggg!!!!

"YES!!" Sora, Roxas, Yume, and Mizuki shouted as the ran for the door, all he other kids doing the same.

"We're free!!!!" Yume yelled in the halls as she ran out of the school. "Destiny Islands, here we come!!"

"Here, here!" Mizuki cheered with her friend.

"Okay, so all we gotta do is pack and then we'll be off in two days!!" Roxas informed.

"Way ahead of ya, Roxie! I packed weeks ago!" Yume said with a smile. "I can't wait to leave!! This is gonna be one hell of a trip!"

Sora nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah, I can't wait either." he said. 'I can finally see Riku after six long years.' Sora thought. 'But at the same time…I don't want to see him. After what he did…..after what he said….'

"So, where exactly are we staying anyway? A hotel?" Roxas asked.

"Shit no! We're staying with Riku and his family!" Yume said.

"What?!!" Sora looked at his cousin with wide eyes. "You're joking right?!"

"Does this face look like it's joking?" Yume looked at Sora with a face that said 'You're stupid for thinking I was joking.'

"….No."

"That's because I'm not." Yume said plainly. She looked at everyone. "Okay, I already asked Aunt Megumi to ask Mrs. Kisa to let us stay with her during our trip." Yume informed.

"B-but! Yume, w-we can't stay there!!" Sora said.

"And why ever not? Give me one good reason why we can't stay at that house?"

"Because……..because……."

Yume crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Sora. "It's Riku, right?"

Sora gave her a nod. Yume sighed and threw an arm over her cousin's shoulder. "Neh, don't worry about it Sora. I know what I'm doing, so don't worry, okay?" she said.

Sora sighed after a while and nodded at Yume. "Fine." He said.

"Atta boy!" Yume smiled at Sora and kissed his cheek. Sora rubbed his cheek.

"Don't do that!" he whinned.

"Oh! My bad! You'd rather have Riku make out with you in his room." Yume giggled.

Sora blushed. "Yume! Don't say that!"

"But tis' true."

Sora's blush was even redder now.

"Awww! So-chan is blushing! So kawaii!!" Yume squealed.

"I-I'm not cute!"

"You're right. You're manly."

"Thank you."

"Manly/Kawaii!!" Yume shouted.

"Yeah, manly ka—Hey!" Sora pouted at his cousin.

"Okay! Enough chit chat! You two go to your house and pack." Yume said to her cousins. "Hanyer, you do the same. Mizuki and I are gonna go to my house and pack a few more……things."

"What 'things'?" Roxas asked suspiciously.

"Things……" Yume repeated. She took Mizuki's hand and walked to the direction of her house. "Remember to tell Cloudykins to pack also you guys!" Yume called from over her shoulder.

Hayner, Roxas, and Sora stared at the two girls as they walked away.

"……What stuff could they possibly want to pack?" Roxas asked.

Hayner shrugged. "No idea. And I'd like to keep it that way." He said as he walked in the direction of his house. Sora and Roxas did the same as well. Sora looked at the ground while he walked, thinking about the trip.

'Man, I really hope Yume knows what she's doing. It's gonna be weird staying with Riku.' He thought. 'I just hope he doesn't act cold towards me or ignores me.'

Roxas looked at his twin with concern. "Oi, you alright Sora?" he asked. Sora looked at Roxas and gave him a fake smile.

"I'm fine, nii-san. Don't worry." He said. Roxas looked at his brother for a few more seconds.

"If you say so." Roxas continued to walk beside his brother, not asking him anymore questions. Sora went back to his thoughts.

'Riku…..you can ignore me, you can even act mean towards me….' Sora thought. 'Just, please……don't say you hate me…….Ri-kun'
