A/N: Hehehe, I guess I disappeared on you all, but I totally didn't forget this story (is lying). Well, not completely anyway. It's just, I was one of those VERY last minute X-mas shoppers, and then I had to go and register for my next set of classes, then i had to go to the post office, and blah blah blah. Excuses, excuses I know ^^; Either way, here is Chapter 10, which you all should have had on Christmas like I planned before dissappearing until New Years. T^T

This chapter is the one thing in fanfiction that is number one on my list of the most irritating things you can do in a fanfic. Breaking the Fourth Wall. Especially when it's not a Humor story. You get more leeway if it were a funny crack fic being written, but when you set the mood for your story just right, and it's a totally serious moment don't ruin it by having you or the character break the wall. It is there for a reason.

Anyway, on with the fic!

Disclaimer: I no own KH, or any other characters mentioned in this story except for Risu and Boss. There, hope your happy *glares at lawyers in corner*

Riku found that he was adjusting to life as a crazy author's slave. Sure, the food wasn't all that great, and he got beat up every day, but in that aspect it was sort of like school. The prison even had a social hierarchy.

At the top was the Author, or Boss as everyone here called Pikawhore. Next had been the Hetalia crew, as they were the current favorite pets until they…committed suicide. Riku guessed England's cooking really was lethal. So after them came the staff. Who were broken down into several factions, each headed by some character from an anime or video game. The TG's -Technical Group- they kept maintenance on every electronic device and without them Boss would be unable to communicate. You never saw the TG's according to Zidane, but they pretty much lived in the walls of the Prison.

Then you had the Nutrition Staff who fed everyone. Since Riku and Sora were not permitted into the cafeteria until the were allowed a day of freedom in Inspiration Day, they didn't know of anyone except this guy named Jerry from DGray Man who worked there. Then there was the Medical Crew, consisting of Madam Pomfrey, Sakura, Hinata, and if you had really bad luck some heavily chested woman named Tsunade. Then came Security, who kept things orderly and in place so everything ran as smoothly as it should. They also doubled as any of the other three positions in case of emergencies. At the bottom you had Riku and Sora. The Inmates, aka actors. They were at the bottom, but everyone knew without them the system fell apart. You can't have a story without characters after all.

Yeah, Riku was totally adjusting to life here, and he was more than sure that wasn't a good thing.

"Hey, guys?" Sora called. Riku turned around to face the brunette, while Zidane merely grunted in response tossing his night stick up and down into the air.

"What?" Riku asked.

"How long has this wall been here?" Sora said pointing to a large brick wall that was on the auditorium stage. Riku blinked, mildly surprised at seeing the structure there.

"I don't know. I don't think it was here before." Riku said kicking at the wall, yet it remained standing up.

"What is it Zidane?" Sora asked turning to the other boy sulking from his seat.

"I don't know. It's a wall. What do you want me to do?" He grumped before sulking some more in his chair.

Sora shook his head at the other in disappointment.

"C'mon Zidane! You're supposed to know things too! We have to rely on you if Risu isn't here to explain things to us. Thanks to you she's…somewhere." Sora complained. Zidane was their back up source of information on anything strange going on, and right now this was definitely a strange situation.

"Look, it's a wall. Whether it's been here before or not doesn't matter, it's there so get used to it!" He snapped irritably.

"…"

"I don't think we like you so bitchy." Riku said into the silence. Zidane kindly gave him the finger.

"So, seriously that wall was there all through out our make out scene earlier." Sora pointed out to Riku again once they were back in their cell.

"You're making out with your male best friend, practically raping me, and you're concerned about the wall that remained on stage. Really?" Riku frowned making his way towards the sink and grabbing his tooth brush.

"I've all ready come to terms, and since I'm clearly confident in my sexual orientation I'm not stressing over this as much as you."

"…" Riku threw a bar of soap at his head.

"OW! That hurt!" Sora sulked.

"I highly suggest you shut up. I don't need more stress and trauma than I all ready have." Riku threatened.

"Fine!" Sora sulked. He'd forgotten how much Ansem had really screwed with Riku's mind. He wondered just how much trauma his friend all ready had, and then suddenly come here where things made no sense at all? Not a good thing for someone who may all ready be mentally unstable.

"WHAT IS WITH THIS WALL!?"

"Shut-up!" Sora and Riku turned around to see Risu walk leisurely up the steps to the stage.

"Risu!" Both boys exclaimed in surprise. The other girl merely glared at them in response and continued observing the large brick wall in the middle of the stage.

"You can't even see the screens behind it." Riku commented as he tried to find a way to look around the wall.

"How was, well, your time away?" Sora asked.

"…"

"Not good, I know. Just figured you'd like to share your emotional trauma or something." Sora said with a shrug.

"I killed a Mary Sue. I only went into rehab for behavior correction for three weeks, and Boss talked to me in person."

"Really?" Riku asked astonished. "So you know what she actually looks like?"

"Mm, yeah. Last time I saw her she was only 11 years old. Now eight years later and it reminds me just how old I am." Risu sighed. If her hair wasn't grey all ready she would be imagining several grey strands of them in red hair.

"What's with the wall?" She asked. "It looks really familiar."

"So you've seen this before?" Sora questioned. Finally he'd get answers to the questions he'd been having for a month now. Zidane had disappeared on them, and no one they bumped into would tell them where the monkey boy clone was. "Yeah, it doesn't show up all of the time though, really rare, but my gut tells me something happens. I can't recall what though."

"You know, lately you're becoming quite useless in the information department." Sora said. Risu glared at him, but chose to ignore his comment.

"It's time to act, let's get ready. Hey where's Zidane?" She asked. Both boys shrugged. She sighed, the clone had went and gone into hiding as she suspected.

"Begin Rehearsal!" Boss's voice rang out in the auditorium.

"Hi ho! Hi ho! It's off to work we go!" Risu sang. Sora and Riku looked at each other with long suffering looks.

"This is gonna end horribly I just know it." Riku thought.

Riku clenched at his arm in pain. It wasn't broken, thankfully, but he took another blow like that and it would be.

"Just give up." Risu said, face completely void of emotion.

"Never!" Riku rolled out of the way is an orb of darkness came hurtling his way.

"You won't succeed." Risu, completely blank, created another mass in her hands, slightly larger than the last.

"I have no desire to continue this." She said, walking slowly forward to where she'd seen Riku duck behind a pile of rubble,

'Sloth, huh? How fitting.' Riku thoat as he quickly downed a potion so that his right arm was useable again. Fighting against one of Risu's heart fragments was seriously tiring work. Each peice held an emotion or trait the made up who Risu really was. SO far they only had 8, 7 if they took into account the fragment Keiko had sacrificed herself to put back into Risu. Unfortunately for her and them that fragment had been Hate.

"This is boring brother. I'm just going to give up." Sloth Risu said dismissing the orb in hand and plopping down on the ground. Riku blinked, surprised at how quickly this fight was ending compared to the others.

'Then again, she is Sloth.' Riku reminded himself before cautiously stepping out from behind the rubble and, just as she had claimed, Sloth Risu was sitting on the ground completely vurnerable and open to an attack staring up the the grey sky above.

"Uhm, really?" Riku hesitated. Sloth Risu slowly turned her head towards him and nodded.

"She is Sloth Dude, she isn't going to DO anynthing."

Riku and Risu jumped at the sound of Boss's voice suddenly appearing from nowhere.

"What the-What are you doing!?" Risu demanding getting up from off the ground to glare at where the screens were suddenly visible again. The large brick wall that had been standing up in fron of the screens for the past three weeks, now a pile of rubble.

"Did any of us hear the wall even collapse?" Riku asked.

"It fell when one of Risu's Dark matter orbs hit it." Sora said climbing back up on stage.

"Oh, god. Please tell me that wasn't THAT wall." Risu moaned, head in her hands.

"Yeah, you guys totally broke the Fourth Wall just now. I can talk to you any time I want now!" Boss's voice said, the eyes on screen bright and happy.

"The Fourth Wall?" Sora asked.

"It seperates the author from the story. You're not allowed to break it because it's a very annoying and distracting to have the author suddenly burst in and give their two cents on everything we do." Risu informed them.

"People do it anyway. I don't see why I shouldn't. This story is lacking some humor in it, and I think this is a good way for me to get more of an audience."

"You're writing a Romance/Action story. I doubt they care or expect it to be funny." Riku pointed out, but the glares from the many eyes on screen shut him up.

"I'm the author, authoress. I want it to be funny now."

"I take it that there isn't anything we can do to change her mind, so let's just go with it. It can't possible get too annoying right?" Sora suggested. Risu and Riku looked at each other nervously before sighing and agreeing to comply to the idea. It can't possibly get too bad.

They stood corrected, it COULD get annoying.

"So my cat totally scratched my face the other day, and I had like whisker like scratches on both sides of my face, and I was like Hey! I look like Naruto! I'm gonna be Naruto all day today and shout Believe It to random strangers and-"

"She's been talking for five hours." Sora groaned banging his head against the wall. They had progressed to the next scene since Boss had gottenwhat she wanted from that, and decided to move on to the next. They were now in Wonderland shrunken down to miniature size and waiting for the door to open up and let them enter. Risu, was waiting on the otjer side preparing an ambush where after another massive fight of epic proportions she'd get another heart fragment forced into her body. Thus, making her weaker. Unfortunately, the ambush was now ruined, because the Heartless she had with her on the other side had left after twenty minutes of inactivity.

"I know, but we can't go anywhere until she get's out what ever she has to say." Riku said and sat down on the floor releasing his grip on Way to Dawn so that it disappeared.

"I should have realized it sooner." Risu said beating herself up for not knwoing right away what the wall was there for.

"You should have!" Sora snapped kicking the fake Door to Wonderland where Risu was leaning against it on the other side.

"I told you, it comes and goes! It rarely ever shows up! She must have been waiting for an oppurtunity for this situation to happen!" Risu argued kicking the door back in retaliation.

"But the worst thing about it was that she had the nerve to say my Nightmare Before Chritsmas Hoodie was a rip off, and her's was ten times better. I told her, look here bitch mine is better than yours because Jack Skellington is on mine! Who do you have? Dr. Finkelstien. Is he cool? No!"

"What does your hoodie have to do with the story?" Riku asked exasperated.

"Nothing really. It's just that jealous people are so annoying and I had to get this off my chest and share it with my reviewers because they love me and understand what I'm going through-"

"Look what you did! You talked back to her, that makes it worse!" Risu yelled.

"My bad! She's clearly delusional anyway! I doubt her reviewers are going to care about some fight she had over a JACKET!" Riku defended himself.

"We've got to fix that wall! I can take this anymore!" Sora cried, pulling at his hair. Risu opened the door from her side of the door and walked in.

"You're right, but I got an even better idea." She said and ushered the boys to silently follow her.

"I always wondered why Disney castle was crawling with so many heartless in the second game. It was like the minute you turned left, fifty thousand of those things popped out of nowhere and you ahd to fend them off. Protecting Queen Minni was annoying too because she only had one good move, but she didn't want to leave my side for more than 2 seconds. how irritating."

Riku, Sora, and Risu by this point had managed to quietly sneak off stage and were backing away slowly towards the exit. The many brown eyes, not even paying them the slightest bit of attention.

"She has no friends to talk to like this in real life does she?" Riku whispered.

"She does actually, they're just as crazy as her." Risu shuddered recalling the Role Playing games she'd been involved in with said friends.

"People with no lives. I'm convinced they have have no lives." Sora said while quietly pushing open the exit doors, and slipping out. Riku and Risu followed, closing the door and making their way back to the safety of their cell.

"Is she gonna be mad, when she realises we left her there?" Riku wondered aloud.

"Yeah, but do you really care?"

"No." both boys agreed.

"Thought so." Risu said and they continued their treck down the hall.

4 hours later...

"Hey, you guys." Risu, Sora, and Riku looked up from their game of Uno to see Zidane opening the cell door and sitting down beside Sora.

"Hey, Z-Clone." Risu greeted, and Zidane glowered at her for the nickname.

"Boss says you guys are in trouble come next rehearsal." He informed them grabbing five cards of his own and joining the game.

"We figured." They replied and they continued with their game. Not at all caring that tomorrow they could be spending the rest of the week in the Medic Ward. It was better there, than in their cell.

A/N:Chapter 10 is done. I hope we learned something useful from this. Not only does breaking the fourth wall annoy some readers out there, but it's annoying for the characters, so let's try to not do it in serious stories anymore m'kay? Thank you. :D

I hope you all enjoyed this one. Happy Holidays!
