So, where is Riku? While I was getting back up in my chair, he took a
flight to Florence, Italy. Now he's back. Read on!
^^Remember to refresh on the other chapters!!!^^

Sora's mind spun in circles. He shook his head, desperately trying to bring back his senses. His brain throbbed in agony.
"Riku... you left me," he mumbled. "again?"
Who's he talking to?
"But why?" he wanted to know.
When his echoes would not repeat him, he slowly closed his eyes, wishing for his timely death. With Riku gone, he might as well have been dead.
So, with nothing left to do, he tossed his Keyblade as far as his mild arms would throw. It was too dark to see where it landed. Too dark to matter.
Suddenly a flash of light blinded him. And everything went black again.
"Sora," a voice whispered to him.
"Huh?" he looked around. Or tried to. But his eyes were still hurting from that strange sudden flash.
"Sora!" it echoed in his ears.
"Riku? Is that you? Riku?!" he blindly shouted. He ran towards the direction he heard the voice from.
Closer and closer he neared the ocean shore. So close he almost tripped on his Tidus-like shoes, but luckily did not fall into the wrath of the tremendous waves.
He felt a strong arm had grabbed him. He tried to face his friend, but Riku's strength kept Sora from looking at him.
"Shhh," Riku hushed in his ears.
His voice... Riku hadn't left him after all. Oh, the joy and elation returned to him. Riku was back.
"I'm so sorry, Riku," he stuttered, through his tears of happiness. "Does this mean you forgive me?"
Riku was silence. His grasps loosened around Sora's shoulders, but his grip remained still.
"I understand if you don't," Sora attempted to explain. "What I did was unacceptable. We're still friends, right?"
Riku let his hold upon Sora leave, as he continued to stare at the cluster of brown hair. Still he did not utter another word.
Sora took this moment to finally face his buddy. For the first time again he was able to look into Riku's teal eyes. They burned with emotions. As if all his feelings have been blended into. His physical pains may have dissolved, but no way in hell would they leave his eyes.
Sora wrapped his lesser masculine arms around Riku. But Riku did not return the hug. Instead he gazed out into the sky of endless twinkles.
Sora closed his eyes as he squeezed him harder.
"I'm not letting you go, Riku," he whispered softly as he rested his head on Riku's shoulder.
After a moment to Riku, yet an eternity to Sora, Riku lifted his hand and gently stroke his smaller friend's head of hair.
It was going to take a while, but eventually Riku would forgive him. Maybe even learn to love him again. But sine dubia, Sora. That's such wishful thinking.
"I wish time could freeze," Sora thought out loud.
"Why?" was Riku's soft response.
"Because..." he muttered. "Because then I could be with you like this, forever."
Riku looked at Sora's fine hair and slowly pushed him away. He then looked directly in his eyes.
"Sora?"
"Hm?" he looked up with a tear-strewn face.
Without another word from either one of the boys, Riku pulled Sora to him and locked his lips to his own.
Sora's eyes were halfway shut when he finally realized what had happened. He could feel Riku's hot breath on his left cheek. It was magical. The scent of love and the realization that they were indivisible.
Sora leaned in as his legs weakened. Riku's body heat was penetrating his skin as he held in Riku closer.
His desire for Riku had grown. His tongue shyly slipped past Riku's lips. The taste of dry blood stung his mouth. But it didn't matter, he was finally in bliss. So maybe Riku forgave him after all...
A slight shiver tingled his body as Riku touched his cheek. Just a simple touch. Yet Sora was melting already. He felt his tongue drawn deeper in the mouth of Riku.
He opened his eyes again as Riku pulled away. Those eyes as cold as steel were upon him, as if searching his face for ignorance.
"Riku..." his voice broke, "I... ah... thanks."
A smile formed on silver-hair's lips. "Sora," his voice was oh so enchanting.
"Yes?" Sora found himself mesmerized by the longing for another simple kiss.
"Where's your Keyblade?"
A small jolt electrocuted within him. Keyblade? Hadn't he just thrown it somewhere?
"It's... somewhere. Why?" he wanted to know why Riku would care.
"You don't seem to have it," he answered. "Does this mean you give up the title as Keyblade wielder?"
"Ah, I guess so," he shrugged as he gave Riku a warm smile.
His smiled was rewarded with a deathly blow to the head.
...Riku had had the Keyblade in his possession, Sora realized as he staggered backwards and fell into the ocean waters into oblivion.
