Chapter 9: The Attack Of Someone.

"Light is good!" - Sora, Kingdom Heart II


Sora was confused.

After Riku left, he kept thinking about the silver-haired young man's words over and over again. He kept trying to understand what the young man was trying to tell him. He tried to understand from his words but mostly Riku did not say anything but asking.

'Why did he ask me about Kairi?' Sora thought, furrowing his eyebrows together. When he did not get any answer, he let out a heavy sigh and headed for Vacant House. Once he arrived at the place, he was about to knock the door when his hand stopped midway.

He turned around slowly and came face to face with two men in black. One of them had black spiky hair like Lea, wearing black soldier uniform while other man had a very long silver hair just like Riku, was none other than the person he used to fight before.

"Sephiroth…" Sora shuddered just looking at Sephiroth's eyes.

"Is he the one?" The man with black hair asked. Sephiroth nodded. Then the man took a step forward and another and another until he was just a meter away from Sora. The brunet gulped as he stared into those blue eyes that somehow reminded him of Cloud's intense eyes. He was startled when the man's hand touched his cheek.

"Zack…" Sephiroth's tone deep.

"Chill Seph," Zack said before he looked at Sora with his blue eyes. Somehow, looking at those blue eyes made Sora's knee weakened that he immediately dropped onto the floor. All of sudden he felt cold around his body and his heart was contracting and expanding in fast speed.

"W-What did you do…?" Sora's voice was hoarse.

"Sora, the Keyblade wielder," Zack said. Sora frowned; face was showing more pain due to the contraction inside of him. He flinched when Zack's hand move from his cheek down to his chest. "The Keyblade usually choose the one with a strong and pure heart…"

"D-Don't touch me…" hissed Sora.

"And you are the one."

"I…will not hand over…" Sora slapped Zack's hand then clutched his front shirt. "…My Heart…" Sora said before he collapsed. Zack smirked as he stood up then turned to look at Sephiroth.

"I blame you if he dies," said Sephiroth.

"No he won't," said Zack. "I don't want Cloud to kill me."


Riku felt tired.

He was tired of thinking of Sora all the time.

Ever since the defeat of Xemnas, no, makes it ever since he was separated from Sora by the door to darkness, he could not stop thinking about the brunet at all. Every night he would dreamt of him, of his smile, of his red face whenever he was embarrassed, of his cute pouts and even of his deliciously body.

At first, he thought it was because he missed Sora as a best friend since they always been together but then he noticed something. Never once he thought about Kairi whom he was supposed to think of because she used to be his crush before darkness attacked their small island.

And it came to Riku's realization that he wasn't only missing Sora, but he also had fallen for the brunet. The proof was getting obvious on him when he checked on sleeping Sora in the tube. He felt himself hardened as he stared at Sora's body from top to toe. Luckily King Mickey and Diz did not notice at that time.

He becoming sure that he loved Sora when he could not stop but following Sora one year ago. He was happy every time Sora called his name or asked people he met whether they have seen him or not. He could not help but feel very happy indeed.

Yet, the happiness gone immediately as he watched Sora hugged Kairi when they met. He blamed Axel though for bringing the redhead girl to Sora and angry took him over at the moment. He did not want to destroy everything that time so he decided to leave when his heart flipped as Sora called him.

Yes, he still remembered when Sora cried as he realized the Ansem was him indeed.

At that moment, he could not help but to feel hope because Sora was crying when he saw him. Crying more than he did when he met Kairi. Wait, he did not cry when he met Kairi at all. He only cried when he met him. Sora only crying when he met him and he knew Sora was very happy that time.

They defeated Xemnas together and he was very happy when they sat together on the beach in darkness. At least he was with Sora at the moment so it did not matter where they were. Then they returned to Destiny Island thanks to Kairi's message bottle that opened the path.

Since then, he had hoped for the brunet to at least have a sign of loving him. Loving more than best friend. Like he did on him. But the brunet was too oblivious. Too stupid. Too naïve. Too innocent to love him. The brunet still loves Kairi and it hurt him more than anything.

So he decided to do something to not show his affection. He became silent. Non-social. Rude to everyone even Tidus except the brunet himself. He tried to hold himself from killing whoever touched Sora and just gave them a glare without the brunet's noticing it. He tried so hard to cover his feeling.

And it hurt him more than anything in his life.

"(Sigh) I'm amaze I will be saying this but…I don't think I have a chance…" Riku said, sighing again. He jumped from one roof to another until he saw Vacant House and stopped. He looked around the top area and when he did not see any sign of heartless, he jumped down.

BOK!

Luckily no one saw that. He stumbled when he hit something. Groaning, he rubbed his nose since his face was the one that hit the ground as he stumbled then glared at whatever caused him to stumble clumsily. Only then, his eyes widened in shock when he realized what caused him to stumble.

"S-Sora!" He rushed to his best friend's side and turned the brunet around. He bit his lip when he noticed how pale Sora's face was and the way the brunet kept gasping, it seemed the brunet was having a difficulty in breathing. "Damn it, Sora, wake up!" He shook Sora by shoulders but the brunet did not flutter open his eyes. "Damn…"

He looked around to see no one. Panic and worried, he scooped the brunet into his arms and staggeringly stood up, he ran into the Vacant House and banged it open harshly, startling everyone in the house.

"Riku, can't you at least knock the-oh my god! Sora!" Yuffie rushed to them and looked at Sora in concern. "Is he all right?" she asked.

"How should I know," Riku snapped as he walked pass Yuffie to the bed and placed his best friend on it. He stepped aside when Arieth, whom he knew had cure ability, decided to check on Sora.

"What happened?" Leon asked. Riku did not answer, was too busy to watch Sora. He turned to his right when he felt his sleeve was being tugged. He gulped when he realized it was none other than Roxas.

"What happened?" Roxas asked. Riku looked at the two creatures behind Roxas; Donald and Goofy, Sora's close friends during his journey. "Riku." Roxas's voice deep.

"He fainted in front of the house," Riku replied before he turned to look at Sora again. Roxas frowned. He watched Riku for a while before he looked at his human.

"How is he?" Cloud asked when Arieth done checking up.

"He's having a fever," replied Arieth. "Don't worry, he'll be all right," she added then she smiled at Riku. The silver-haired young man grunted under his breath before he took a seat on the chair next to the bed. Instinctively, he took Sora's hand and clutched it firmly. Of course, everyone saw that.

"It's rare for Sora to get sick, hyuk," said Goofy.

"Idiot. He maybe the hero, but that doesn't mean he cannot get sick!" Donald said.

"So…who are these two?" Yuffie asked as she eyed Roxas and Axel.

"Oh yes. Sorry for barging in without introducing," Donald said. "This is Roxas, Sora's Nobody and Axel, his buddy."

"Sora's Nobody?" Leon quirked his eyebrow. "You mean Sora have become Heartless before?" Donald nodded. Leon then turned to look at Roxas and Axel. He eyed Roxas intently from top to toe and could not help but to think Roxas looked a lot like Sora. "Why are Nobodies here?"

"King Mickey asked us to come here and help Riku and Sora," replied Axel.

"But it seems Sora got sick," Roxas said as he crossed his arms. "And like Goofy said, it's rare for Sora to get sick."

"Are you trying to say someone has just touched Sora and make him sick?" Riku asked without looking at the blonde. Roxas silence. Everyone silence. And the silence itself was heavy around everyone.

"Riku." Roxas patted the silver-haired man's shoulder. The young man did not budge. "Follow me outside."

"Busy," Riku said. Roxas frowned.

"NOW."
