Chasing Regrets
"Thank you sir." A soft voice whispers. A small boy stood in front of a hotel far from Destiny Island. His eyes were puffy from all the crying he had done when he found out what had happened. The night had already turned to morning and he was running out of money, from running too much. Even better, he blew off someone he had feelings for, though he never confessed to him. The boy rings the bell at the front counter and receives a room key. "Thank you." the boy tells the man. He was all alone all over again and no one would even notice. He remembered the look on their faces the way they were killed and, how he was sitting there in their blood. That guilty wave that swept over him. "It's all my fault!" Sora wails crying on his bed. Even after he was free from them, he couldn't stop crying. What was even worse was that he was missing the most annoying person in his life. "Riku.." Sora whispers.

"Wow I never seen Riku this down since... well ever." Tidus whispers to Wakka. Riku was sitting alone in the corner, like a robot. "Maybe we should go talk to him, ya?" Wakka asks. Tidus and Wakka moonwalk over to Riku and pat his shoulder. "Come on Riku, Sora will come back eventually." Tidus tells Riku. Riku slips deeper into his depression and Wakka smacks himself in the head. "Yeah he wouldn't leave without saying good bye to you, unless he ran away because of you." Wakka tells Riku. Riku falls back, his soul flying away from him in shame. "Maybe we should just uh.. leave him be." Tidus tells Wakka.. Wakka nods in agreement and the two scoot away from Riku. "It's... all... my.. fault?" Riku whispers. He slowly melts out of his seat and huddles up under the desk. "I'm such a... bad... bad.. man." Riku whispers. The whole class twitches, sensing the gloom and doom pouring out of the corner of shame. "U-um, Riku p-p-please join the class." Rinoa stutters. Riku shoots his teacher an evil, depressed, look. Rinoa squeals and backs away from Riku. "R-R-Right, lets just start class." Rinoa says. Riku stares out the window. It's my fault Sora is gone. If only I told someone, I could've protected him for once Riku thinks. Riku groans and shakes his head. This is like some evil dramatic sitcom made by a teenage girl with raging hormones. Riku stands up and slams his hands on his desk. "DAMN IT! GIVE HIM BACK TO ME!!! GIVE ME MY SORA! THE CANDY OF MY EYE, MY ANGEL, MY HEART, MY LIFE!!!" Riku shouts. The whole room of girls squeal and Riku brushes his hand through his hair and the girls faint. "R-Riku... the police are here to see you." Rinoa calls out. Riku walk out and see a man and a girl arguing. "Excuse me, but my teacher said you wanted to see me." Riku tells the two. The two of them break up and the man fixes his tie. "Oh my dear Juliet, how I long for such sweet lips to caress my own and your soft arms to hold me." Riku says softly, taking the woman's hand in his own and kissing it gently. WHAM! Riku flies into the wall, blood coming out of his nose. The girl wipes her fist and crosses her arms. "Give it a rest Romeo, I'm more interested in a guy with more... manly features, pretty-boy. Anyways, my name is Yuffie." Yuffie tells Riku coldly. Riku stands there amazed and rubs his face. "I've been... rejected. Oh how you remind me of my dear sweet Sora." Riku cries out in his cheesy french accent. Leon shakes his head and Yuffie just stands there, giving him a stupid, lost, look. "Umm yeah, can we just get this over with?" Leon asks. Riku follows the two detectives into an empty classroom and sits down. "Was there anything, bothering Sora at home or at school?" Yuffie asks. Riku looks away ashamed and nods slightly. "His mother was a junkie and brought home many men at night. Nearly all of them raped him and his mother just sat there, pretending like nothing happened." Riku tells the detective. Leon scribbles it down on his notepad and looks at Yuffie. "I see, was it bad enough to make him kill his mom and her boyfriend?" Yuffie asks. The chair falls to the floor and Riku was standing up his hands on the desk. "Sora would never do that! He's gentle and kind and not the kind of monster that would do such a thing. I'll tell you one thing, his parents got what they deserve. To hurt a poor innocent and sweet boy that way!" Riku shouts. He storms out of the classroom and walks right out of school. "That's the same thing Cloud said when I talked to him." Leon whispers. Yuffie sighs and looks over the pictures taken at the murder scene. "This guy is smart. He left no trace at all at the murder scene. You could tell he clearly hated them. I mean look at the position they're in." Yuffie mutters. The two of them get up and leave right after the bell.

Sora walks into the bathroom checking his money supply. His money was running low after spending it on clothes, food, a hotel room, and a taxi ride. He knew he would have to return back home soon. And there, the police would be waiting for him. Anger, grief, and hopelessness soon swamped him. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was it happening to him. It was like his whole happy life was being pulled out from under him every second. Sora smashes the window, the shards cutting up his hand. Blood gushed out his wounds and Sora starts crying, quickly grabbing a towel to stop the bleeding. He felt as if there was nothing left for him anymore. After a few hours, he fell asleep, forgetting that he was losing blood from the wound on his wrist. He could still hear the managers cries for help, the sirens, and being lifted off the ground and onto a soft bed.

"I need to see him!! DAMN IT!! LET ME THROUGH!!" Rikku shouts. He had just received a call that Sora was in the hospital after attempting to commit suicide. "It's alright, let him through." Leon orders. The police moved aside and Riku rushes to the bed. Sora was lying there, motionless. His heart-fluttered slightly but returned to it's state of grief. "I'm sorry but you only have a few minutes before we take him to the County Jail Hospital." says Leon. Riku shoots the two detectives a look that could make milk curdle and make a mass murderer piss in his pants. Leon stares at Riku, steadily and calm although he wanted nothing more than to break away from Riku's menacing glares. "SORA DID NOT KILL THEM!! WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE HIM ALO-" Rikku was cut off by the police being thrown aside and a flash of yellow. WHAM! Leon was thrown to the ground, Cloud standing over him, his eyes sparkling with unimaginable fury and pain. "How dare you think my brother has anything to do with that whore's death!" Cloud shouts. Leon looks away, his expression unreadable. "Cloud.. I.." Leon starts. There was another noise and Cloud was being restrained by the officers. He had punched Leon square in his face and his pride. "I hate you! I DON'T WANT YOU ANYWHERE NEAR SORA, JACKASS!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE ANYMORE!! DON'T CALL MY HOUSE ANYMORE AND GO FIND A NEW FUCK TOY YOU BAG OF SHIT!" Cloud shouts. The police drag him out the room and Yuffie helps Leon up. "Leon are you-" Yuffie was cut off immediately by Leon. "I'm fine.. I just need some fresh air." Leon mutters. He walks out the room, Yuffie following after him. Leaving Riku alone with the unconscious Sora. He couldn't let go of his hand. There was a soft stir and Sora's cerulean blue eyes peered up at him. "You're awake." Riku whispers. Sora clutches Riku's hand tightly. "Where am I?" Sora asks in a coarse voice. Sora tries to sit up, but Rikku reacted quickly by pushing him back down softly. "You're in the hospital." Riku whispers. Sora suddenly sits up and gets out of bed, pulling off the needles from his arm. Sora rushes to the door, but Riku grabs him by the waist and holds him tightly. "What's wrong?!" Riku shouts. Sora tries to push Riku away from him, but soon gave up. "Please.. the police... I didn't do it.. I swear!" Sora cries out, sobbing quietly. Sora slides to the floor and Riku holds him tightly. "I know, I won't let them take you." Riku whispers. Sora pushes him away. "Why... why the hell do you care?!" Sora shouts. Riku looks surprised for a second then looks away. "I-I lo-" Riku was cut off by Cloud barging in. "Sora... you're awake.." Cloud whispers. Before Sora had time to respond Cloud dragged him into a hug. "I was worried about you." Cloud whispers. Leon walks and so does Yuffie. Police walk in with them and grab Sora by the arms and wrenched him out of Cloud's arms. "I'm sorry Cloud, but Sora Strife you are here by arrested for murder in the first degree." says Leon. Cloud tries to tackle the police, but two more came in and held him back. "LET HIM GO!! HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!!" Cloud shouts. "RIKU! BROTHER!!" Sora shouts. Sora bites one of the guards and runs. "Nurse grab him!" Leon shouts. The nurse turns around and tries to grab Sora. Sora ducks and rushes on looking back at the nurse. "SORA WATCH OUT!" Riku shouts. Sora gasps as he flew off the stairs. Sora closes his eyes but didn't feel the impact. He opens them and cries out. Riku was lying on the ground, holding him tightly. His head was bleeding and Sora's wounds had opened up. "Riku... wake up... please." Sora whispers, shaking Rikku roughly. Riku doesn't stir and Sora shakes harder. "PLEASE!!!" Sora shouts. The nurse grabs him and pulls him away from Riku. A doctor quickly checks his pulse and nods. "He's still alive, get him to the emergency room!" The doctor shouts. Sora screams and shouts trying to fight his way back to Riku, but was too weak, from losing too much blood.

"Please Sora don't!!" Naminé shouts. "It's my fault.. Riku got hurt!!! I hate this.. I don't deserve to live this lie anymore!!" Sora shouts. He closes his eyes, the wind brushing his skin. Please Forgive me... for what I'm about to do. Sora thinks. There was a high-pitched scream as Sora fell forward. Off the ledge. Riku flashes into his mind.. his time with him... he was never going to see him again. Everything rushed into his mind... and then just darkness.
