Chapter 7 Nice to See You

Riku's POV

"Please Riku", Yozora pleaded. "I just want to save her."

When Yozora said this, I looked at him in shock.

I knew the look on his face. It was one I had worn too many times.

The look of desperately wanting to save someone with all your heart.

I was about to say something...when I heard somebody scream!

"What was that", I asked Yozora.

"Only one way to find out", he replied.

With that we ran up to where the scream had come from...and I was surprised by what I saw.

A group of Dream Eaters were attacking...Joshua and his friends!

"Joshua", I said in shock.

"You know those guys", Yozora asked in shock.

"They're friends of mine", I revealed. "We have to help them!"

With that I jumped between the Dream Eaters and Joshua and his friends.

"Stand back guys", I commanded. "I'll take care of these guys!"

With that I took out the Dream Eaters.

Then I turned around...and everybody looked at me in shock.

"Riku", Joshua said in shock. "Is that you Riku?"

"It's me", I replied. "It's been a while."

"Yeah", Beat agreed. "And it looks like you've had a growth spurt since then!"

"It's so nice to see you again Riku", Rhyme stated.

"What are you doing here", Shiki asked.

"I'm looking for Sora", I revealed.

"Sora", a boy asked in shock.

"You know him", I asked in shock.

"Riku", Shiki started. "This is my partner Neku. Neku, this is Riku, that 'knight' I told you about."

"I told you I'm not a knight", I reminded Shiki.

"You just jumped in and heroically saved us", Shiki pointed out. "Seems very knightly to me."

"Can we focus please", Neku said getting everybody's attention. "Riku, is Sora okay?"

"I...I don't know", I replied.

"What", Neku asked in shock. "What do you mean you don't know?!"

"He's...he's been missing for a year now", I revealed.

And when I did...everybody looked at me in shock.

"Missing", Neku asked. "For a year?"

"But how", Shiki asked.

"It's a long story", I revealed. "But to put it simply, Sora used a power in a way he wasn't supposed to, and it caused him to just vanish."

"Just like that", Rhyme asked sadly.

"Just like that", I replied sadly.

"Riku", Joshua started changing the subject. "What type of power was it?"

Yozora's POV

I was listening to Riku explain something to his friends.

"A power...that can bring back lost hearts?"

HotXbun: Interesting.
