Chapter 7, Part One :Run Away From You

The tenth day, it was the tenth day since Sora arrived at the mansion of Riku's. Somewhat, the first days when Sora was there were for sure a lot better than before, the servants were now used to see the little boy running here and there and Roxas, Axel, Yuffie and the others were so happy to have little Sora there with them. It was because he seemed to have changed Riku. The silver haired boy was so talkative and enthusiastic now, always tugging Sora's hand between his own and carrying the petite brunette on his arms wherever he went, and Sora always followed suit his savior.

The brunette had started a few days ago with some classes of language and moods, they taught him how to eat correctly and he learnt the vocals and now was trying to memorize the alphabet. Olette, the Modals Teacher, was absolutely surprised by Sora's fast way of learning, and Roxas, who was a Mathematics Teacher and not a Language Teacher, tried his best to teach him new words and to make him learn to write some thing like his name and Riku's.

Then, bad things started to happen.

Everyday, Riku's mom would complain about the stupidest things, like the way Sora talked, the way he ate at the table, how he always was yelling everywhere and sometimes saying that Sora stole her necklace or ring or whatever. Riku just ignored her and told his brunette that it wasn't his fault.

And the silver haired boy didn't notice that Sora was becoming worse everyday…

Well, really, he did notice, because if Riku bought him some candy, Sora just accepted them and didn't even eat them, or when Riku kissed him in the cheeks, Sora just looked at him like it was nothing. That was worrying Riku, because when Sora just arrived at the house he was all lovely and liked to hug and caress his savior, and he still doing that, but now…he seemed to be quieter, the way he looked at Riku and caressed his skin was like something painful and sad to him, Riku felt so bad every time Sora did lovely things to him, he felt like Sora's hands were so cold and his eyes didn't shine like before…and the brunette wasn't like that.

He asked lots of times to Sora what was happening with him, if something bothered him, but Sora just smiled falsely and said it was nothing. Of course there was something. Sora always was saying strange things about to pay something and help him, but Riku didn't understand what was the matter with him.

And for Riku, he was still working, receiving calls from his father and doing some work, but even busying his mind with his job he couldn't take Sora's face out of his mind. He felt guilty about his little brunette's behavior, so that same night, the tenth night, he decided to demand an answer for his question.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

At nine, Sora was already at bed, trying to sleep, but when he heard some steps he leaned up to see Riku approaching him. He looked serious, like he was going to kill someone, but Sora knew him and he just smiled a bit. After all, bed time was Sora's favorite part of the day because he could be with Riku, just the two of them.

Sora lied again in the pillow and waited for Riku to get in the bed too. But it never happened. His azure eyes opened wide when he saw his savior sitting down at the edge of the bed and slide his soft hand by his forehead, looking Sora with all his love, and then he started to speak

"Sora, I want to ask you something"

"Y-Yes?" He shuddered, he knew what it was.

"I want to know why are you so changed, I want to know where's my lovely and cheery Sora" Riku said painfully, even if he didn't want to sound like that.

The brunette just looked at the nothingness like he didn't want to answer, he had been trying to avoid Riku at any cost because he didn't want him to see that he was suffering so much. But now he had no chance, Riku looked determined to know the truth and only the truth. "B-Because I don't want to be a kid anymore…"

"What!" He exclaimed astonished, was that really his Sora? The little kid who was always laughing and yelling everywhere?

"I want to be strong and talented, collected and intelligent…If I still being just a kid, I'm not of use for you, I just give you problems with your work and your mom! If I want to pay you back and make you happy, then I have to work hard and learn like you learnt all those things, I'm tired of being just a bother to you, I want to—R-Riku?" The brunette stopped, Riku was grapping the blankets very tight and his eyes were closed firmly.

"Shut up…" The silver haired boy murmured. He felt so miserable, so guilty

"But it's true! If I'm a kid—!"

"I said Shut Up!" The pale boy screamed, shaking his head violently, he didn't want to hear anything more "Don't say that…don't!" He covered his face with a trembling hand, trying to not let the tears escape from his green eyes, but anyways, they made their ways down his cheeks. Sora looked scared at his rescuer, but not scared of Riku, scared because he had never saw Riku crying. The little boy stood up on the bed and took the hand in Riku's face and removed it, and then almost immediately he reached his face with his own hands and made him look at him.

"Don't cry" Sora said, without noticing that he was already crying too. "Riku, don't cry…"

"Why…Why did you decided to do such a thing!…I don't want you to forget that you're still a kid, you have to enjoy your childhood…You make me feel like I have done all of this to you, like I stole your happiness and your infancy…" He took a moment to cup Sora's face on his hands and see his own teary eyes into Sora's teary ones. "Why did you do it if you knew you were going to suffer…"

"Because I love you" He said instantaneously, without doubts.

Riku just continued crying harder. How could a little kid make him cry like a child?

"Please, Sora, please…stop this, you don't have to do this…" He pleaded

"…but…" He saw Riku, and thought that if he was crying that hard for this, he wouldn't make him suffer anymore. "okay…"

Then, Riku took him on his arms and hugged him fiercely, crying, if possible, harder. Sora smiled a bit and returned the embrace, if Riku was happy with the old Sora…then he had to be like that.

For Riku.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Next day in the morning, Sora woke up very early, almost at eight, even before Riku. He looked at his beloved one and smiled truthfully this time, knowing that he hadn't to act like an adult to fulfill his goal to make Riku happy, he hadn't to be suffering, just act as he was. He smiled widely, and proceeded to put a soft and sweet kiss on his savior's lips caring not to wake him up. When he broke the innocent kiss, he saw some marks of dry tears on his cheeks, it was, after all, his fault to made him cry, so he decided to give Riku a present.

The blue eyed kid jumped down the bed and landed gracefully to the floor, then he ran to the closet and opened it to search for some of his little clothes and chose a beautiful white sweater with little angel wings on his back, a pair of khaki pants and his little sneakers. He looked at himself and then got out of the room, but before that, he said good morning to Riku. He went to the mansion's yard, it was behind of the house and it had lots of trees and all kinds of flowers, Sora loved it, and some days when Riku was free of work and classes they played hide and seek for hours, or when he was too tired, they just went out and lie on the grass, Sora resting his head on Riku's chest and the older running his finger through his spiky hair.

Sora walked towards a girl, she was Naminé, the one who took care of the plants. She was short and had long and blond hair, blue eyes and pale skin. She saw the small boy and giggled happy, mostly because she was always working in the garden and nobody went to visit or see her, and since Sora met her, he went some days to talk and play with her, while she explained interesting things about flowers to Sora.

"Hi, Naminé!" Sora giggled when she tickled his nose

"Hey, little Sora, what brings you here?"

"Well, I was wondering if I can cut some flowers for Riku"

"Oh…I'm so sorry, honey, but you can't, see, Riku's mom is who owns all those flowers, not me, and if she misses any of her plants she would be really angry with you and me…"

"But, that's not fair! She doesn't do anything for the flowers, but you lov'em!"

"Yes, I'm aware of that" She said sadly "But that's how it works, sweetie"

"Hmp" He crossed his arms and pouted cutely

Suddenly, a servant appeared from nowhere very hurried "Naminé, we need your help, we need you to make a floral decoration for some vases, can you come and give us a hand?"

"Yes, of course" She said calmly, now looking at Sora "Excuse me Sora"

"Okay" She smiled at him and walked away, talking with the servant about what kind of decoration they needed.

The kid stood there, looking at the flowers, he knew that he shouldn't cut any of them but…who would ever notice about one or two plants? And he knew that Riku would love them, like he told him before, he loved Sora's gifts. He giggled at the memory and decided to take the flowers. They were white and long, and inside it, it had a yellow thing, obviously he didn't know it was a Calla. He tried to cut the stem but it was so soft and it twisted a bit. After a while he reached his goal and cut two more flowers, then he had the little bouquet on his hands and now he just needed to go and find Riku.

He dashed to the mansion's door and when he was about to open it, someone else did it. Sora thought that it was a kind person who did it, and he was about to give thanks to him or her, but he couldn't.

"…" Sora didn't say a thing when he saw Riku's mom shooting him a deadly glance, he almost let the flowers fell to the floor.

"Wh-What's that you have in your hands!" She asked while her face was getting red and her fists were balled. She really didn't want to hear the answer…

"I…" Sora just stepped back, but she grabbed him by the wrist, twisting it a little and making Sora gasp and the flowers fell to the ground. "Ngh!"

"You fucking rat how do you dare to cut my beautiful flowers?" She yelled, twisting his wrist more, and Sora screeched in pain. "You're so fuckin' gonna pay for this, little bitch!"

She threw Sora to the floor, making him to grasp his head before it knocked the ground. He looked up to her with pleading eyes, telling her to not hit him, that he had learnt the lesson, but she ignored him and proceeded to stomp her feet on his little stomach. The servants that were there just looked in awe the violent scene. Cloud buried his head on Leon's shirt, who hugged and closed his eyes trying to ignore Sora screaming in pain, Axel saw Roxas covering his eyes and trying to suppress the tears and did the same as Leon. Naminé came running from the kitchen when she heard her little friend yelling and covered her mouth, while Aerith and Olette tried to hold Yuffie, who was trying to go and save Sora. The old woman stomped her feet about four times in his stomach, and Sora seemed he was going to faint in every moment…

"You think you can go and cut my beautiful plants whit your dirty hands, Huh?" She planted her foot again on Sora. "Damn Bastard!"

Cloud gasped when he didn't hear Sora scream when the foot collapsed in his delicate stomach and turned around to see what happened. There was Sora, unconscious, still wrapping his arms around his belly. The woman stopped and smirked evilly at the sight of the kid and remove her foot, just to laugh very loud. Leon saw Cloud at the edge of crying so he decided to go and bring Riku, but it seemed that the silver haired boy saw what he had on his mind. He appeared like from nowhere, looking furious to her.

He stepped closer, and everyone in the hall winced a bit when Riku walked across the corridor. The woman looked at him with the same intensity as Riku looked at her, still smirking like crazy. The boy hurried his steps, and in seconds he was rushing to get her but she only stood there laughing manically.

"You stupid son of a fucker! How do you dare to hit him!" He launched himself ready to punch her in her face, but she was faster and dodged the attack, hitting Riku directly at the jaw. He lost his balance, but regained it again and prepared himself again for a second round. He ran again and this time he got what he wanted, he tackled her and smacked his fist in her cheek furiously, he did it like three times, when somebody stopped him.

"Riku, stop this! Stop!" Riku looked back and saw Axel holding his wrist, trying to hold back his rage.

"Didn't you see what this bitch did?" Riku started to cry because of his rage "He Stomped him!"

"But she's your mother!"

"She's not! She's just a bitch who stole all my Dad's money! And she's not happy whit only that! She even has a lover!"

The crowd around them gasped in horror, and the woman stood up and tried to hit him to shut him up, but Leon, who was the strongest of all of them, held her back.

"So what! I don't love you, neither your fucking father!" She yelled

"Then go to hell!" Riku said back to her

"I will! But you, and all of you…" She said pointing at Cloud, Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, Roxas, Axel and Naminé "…and that fucking little brat will pay for this!" She said, and with that she ran upstairs and closed his door hard.

Riku breathed hard, and Cloud ran to where Leon was, he embraced him lovely and whispered to him that everything was alright, while Axel searched for Roxas. He finally found him looking somewhere, and Axel touched his shoulder. Roxas turned around and Axel saw that worried expression again, that one when he taught Sora to make a heart for Riku…

"Rox, what's up?" Axel looked worriedly at him, and Roxas took his hand

"Sora…" Roxas tried to find his voice, and swallowed harshly "Sora's gone!"

He said it very loud, louder than he expected to sound, and Riku heard this. The boy stood up and searched for his brunette everywhere, but there were only three Callas on the floor. He took them carefully and understood what happened, his mother was angry for this…He hugged the Callas as they were Sora and cried his eyes out, sobbing loudly, whining his name, and everyone looked at him with sorrow.

"Riku…" Cloud kneeled down and whispered while Riku was still holding those flower like they where his life "I know that…it's very hard for you, and for Sora to leave you, but you must go and find him" Cloud stroked his back slowly, trying to comfort him "It's going to rain, and he's alone and wounded, please…not only for your cause, but he's like the son I never had and never will have, he's important for all of us…" Riku seemed to catch what Cloud said and looked at him "Go for him, Riku, he needs you"

Riku looked as if he was thinking about what to do next, but immediately he stood up and grabbed a coat, not really caring to use a scarf or gloves or an umbrella, he just thought about Sora's safety. He wiped away his tears and got off the house, decided to fin him even if it took him days.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The little boy walked holding his stomach firmly and trying to be stead, it was hard to be on his feet and he was starting to see blurry. He cried silently while the rain covered him, he had been right, he shouldn't act like a kid anymore, because of that he had been hit and now he hasn't Riku anymore. He wasn't angry, he was just disappointed, Riku told him that he liked the old Sora, but Sora didn't want to be like that, and when he tried to be like he was before, he just received stomps on his stomach…what an irony…

Now he was very afraid, he really didn't want to leave Riku's side, but he just dashed away because he was afraid and confused, he didn't know what to do, how to behave in front of him…he decided to himself that he will behave like an adult, even if Riku complained about it…

If he ever find him…

Cliff!
