A/N: Yah, my last chapter sucked. Some of y'all may not think so, but when I reread it, it was like "DUDE! This sucks!" What can I say...I'm my own Simon..speaking of Simon...RUBEN WON AMERICAN IDOL!!! Whoo hoo! Well anyway, I'll try to make this chapter better.
~*~
It was still there.
It was all still there.
The tears of Betsy, the shock of all the neighborhood guys who were completely unaware of Riku's inner battle, the aching pain of Kairi's love, and Faye's looking out for Riku.
It was all still there.
They were all in Riku's hospital room. Betsy, Kairi, Faye, and three of the guys: Jay, Thomas, and Mika. Riku had not awakened from his surgery. He had been asleep for twelve hours. This was really starting to scare everyone. The doctor was in the next room figuring out Riku's condition. The six of them waited anxiously for his news. There was an eerie silence in the air for a very long time.
"So..," Thomas said breaking the silence, "you think he's dead?"
"Shut up idiot!" Jay yelled, "What's your problem man? You gonna freak out the girls dog!"
"Yah!" Mika replied, "You're such an idiot man!"
"Don't call me an idiot!" Thomas yelled.
"Well that's cause you is an idiot!" Jay yelled back. The three boys continued yelling indistinctly. Betsy blew her top at this.
"BOYS, SHUT UP!" Betsy yelled, "Riku is lying right there and we don't know what his condition is so if you're going to fight about something as petty as this, GO OUTSIDE!" The boys bent their heads down in shame.
"Sorry Betsy," they all said. Faye was getting extremely restless. She was tapping her foot and playing with her hair frantically to try and distract herself. She got up from her chair and started pacing around.
"Dear god! What's taking that stupid doctor so long?" she spat out.
"Be patient Faye," Betsy said, "He'll be done in a minute."
"I don't want to wait until he's done "in a minute". I wanna find out what's wrong with Riku NOW. I...." Faye went on rambling indistinctly as the three boys and Betsy sighed and decided to allow her to let it all out. The only person who hadn't talked through this whole procedure was Kairi. Her eyes were locked on Riku lying in his bed. She hadn't removed her eyes from him, not even for the tiniest second. Through all the fighting, the nerves, and the anxiety, she never took her purple eyes of off him. At times, one would forget she's there because she remained perfectly silent. She didn't move, she didn't blink, she barely even breathed. Because she was lost in the sight of Riku lying there, not knowing whether she would be able to see his beautiful aqua eyes ever again. This thought terrified her. It hadn't fazed anyone else in the room that Riku might never wake up, that they might never hear Riku's voice again, that they may never see his beautiful face smile at them, that they may never see him playing the simplest game of baseball, yet him putting all his passion into it. Kairi didn't cry as these thoughts floated through her head. She couldn't do anything. She was numb. Without Riku there she couldn't do anything. Without seeing Riku's eyes she became vulnerable. Without hearing Riku's voice she became frightened. And without knowing Riku was there to protect her she went blank. She couldn't make a move. And none of them could see that this is what she was thinking of in her frozen eyes. As Faye continued rambling on about how crappy the doctors were, the door to the room the doctor was in, opened slowly. Everyone went perfectly silent at the first creak of the door. The doctor stepped inside carrying a brown clipboard. There was an eerie silence in the room.
"Well?...." Mika said, breaking the silence. The doctor sighed.
"Well, he can't wake up because he had another nervous break down in his sleep."
"WHAT?!" Faye, Mika, Jay, and Thomas screamed together. Betsy burst into tears. Kairi didn't do anything; she just continued to stare at Riku lying there like she had been. Faye immediately burst out at the doctor.
"What do you mean he had another nervous breakdown in his sleep? What kinda crappy hospital is this? Do y'all have..."
"Miss, miss," the doctor quickly interrupted, "we can not control a person's nervous break down's. They are completely psychological."
"Then how did he get one in his sleep?" Thomas protested.
"Damn, what's this dude dreamin' about?" Jay said.
~*3 Hours Later*~
Everyone had pretty much left. Betsy wouldn't stop crying and she had to leave because she was disturbing the other patients. Mika, Thomas, and Jay had gone off to tell the other guys what had happened to Riku. And Faye was asked to leave on account of her cussing at the doctors. Kairi was still there. She still hadn't moved. She still hadn't spoken. She showed no sign of human life in her. Kind of like when her heart was stolen, except this time her heart was stolen not by the Heartless, but by Riku. He had become a part of her. If he was not there she wouldn't function right. And he wasn't there right now. It hurt so much, to love some one so much and they give you nothing but a cold slap of their words. To watch and wait for a smile out of someone that will never come. To sit back and watch someone's life fall apart at your expense. And to see someone suffer so much and struggle to break free. She didn't know how he could possibly go on. What was keeping him together? But then she remembered that Riku is a fighter, and nothing, no matter how strong or painful, can stand in his way.
~*Kairi's POV*~
I envy him. He has so much weight on him in life yet everyday he somehow manages to get up and try to make the next day worth living for. I don't think there is any other person in the world that has as much strength as him. Nothing seems to bring him down. He makes me feel so weak. I'm sure he makes everybody feel weak. But then again, other people like Faye and all of Riku's other friends, only see his physical strength. But I can see beyond that. I can see his strength of Heart. I can see the strength that allows him to hide all of his battle scars in life. I can see that strength that allows him to carry the weight of his life on his back. I can see the strength that somehow allowed him to go to the deepest, darkest depths to save the ones he loves. I'm blown away by Riku's strength of Heart. Anyone who really knows him can see through hid barriers and tell he has a lot of pain buried inside of his chest. I'm sure most people that were living under the state he's in would give up on life and choose not to go on anymore. But everyday he wakes up and finds something to live for. I wish I could visit him in his dreams. I'm sure if I was there I could make him happy....

~*Riku's Dream*~
//Some days I sit, starin' out the window
Watchin' this world pass me by
Sometimes I think there's nothin' to live for
I almost break down and cry
Sometimes I think I'm crazy
I'm crazy, oh so crazy
Why am I here, am I just wasting my time?
But then I see my baby
Suddenly I'm not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes//
Riku shook his head and woke up. He got up and realized he was standing in a grassy field. It was full of pleasant smelling flowers and trees full of fruit. The sun was shining brightly and birds were flying all around. The air was so blissfully warm, he could feel the air warm his very spirit.
"Wow," Riku said breathlessly, "Where am I?" He looked around the harmonious field once more.
"..Is this...heaven?"
"Riku!" someone cried out to him.
"Huh?" He looked around to see who was calling out to him. Then he saw someone waving at him cheerfully in the horizon. It was Kairi. Riku smiled and then ran over to her. When he ran up to her, the two just stared into each other's eye's smiling. He felt so warm on the inside to smile at her and see her smile back at him. Everything inside of him was dancing for joy. Then Kairi stopped smiling. Riku stopped smiling as well and a puzzled expression formed on his face. Then Kairi began to look really sad. One would look at her right now and could see her whole soul pouring out of her eyes full of sadness. Riku stepped back a little at seeing her heartbreaking expression on her face. Then she reached into her pocket and pulled something out. It was an envelope. The envelope was very worn-out and you could hardly see the letters that were written on the front. Then the expression one Kairi's face became even more heart wrenching as she pulled the letter that was inside of the envelope out. The letter was even more worn-out than the letter. But there was one group of words that burned on the paper as clear as red flame: Drops of Jupiter.
After reading these burning words, Riku looked back into to Kairi's sad eyes. They remained locked in a stare of several seconds. Then Kairi dropped the letter onto the ground. The letter fell as if it were going in slow motion. Riku was in puzzlement as the letter fell slowly onto the ground. When it finally hit the floor it made a thunderous crashing sound and the floor started to cave in with it. The floor was breaking down as if there was an earthquake. Then Riku fell down with the floor that came tumbling down because of the mere letter that hit it. Riku hit the floor hardly. He got up and looked around at his new surroundings. It was not at all like the heavenly field that he was at before. This place was dark. Everywhere you turned you would see nothing but blackness. There were no flowers, no birds, no sunshine...nothing. And the air was so cold that he became numb all over from the first second he arrived in there. He became scared. He couldn't see anything. He felt so lost and vulnerable. He began to run around and try and escape from his black prison. But there was nowhere to go. Everywhere he turned, there was nothing but darkness. Then, as he was running he, he crashed into was felt like an invisible wall. He became confused and then tried to run the other way, but there was another invisible wall stopping him. He soon came to realize that he was in an invisible cage. There was nowhere he could run now. Then he felt something grab his arm sharply and pulled him fiercely down to the floor. He looked around in confusion and then got up, but his arm was still pinned down to the floor. He struggled to break free of this unknown force that was keeping him down. Then, it struck again and pulled his other arm down to the ground. This was starting to really frighten Riku. He got up on his legs and tried to break free once more, but it struck again, and this time pulled both of his legs onto the cold, hard ground. He struggled so hard to break free, but no matter how hard he strained he couldn't escape. He was trapped. He started to cry. Then a light shone through the black ceiling. He could see the heavenly fields he was once in. And then Kairi appeared standing in that field watching him struggle to break free of his dark and lonely prison. He was crying softly.
"KAIRI!" Riku cried out to her. Kairi bent down and reached out her hand to him. But then she pulled her hand sharply away as if something had whipped her hand away from him.
"KAIRI!" he cried out once more, but the more her cried out to her, the more her hand would be sharply whipped away from him. Until finally, she gave up, collapsed onto the floor, and started sobbing hysterically.
"KAIRI, PLEASE HELP ME!"
//How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I've come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know just what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I've come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All of this I, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
(You must be sacrificed)
Bring me to life
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I've come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie...There's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)//
Riku tried to call out to her once more, but he couldn't speak. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't think. He couldn't do anything. Then a sudden warmth ness reached through all the cold around him and pulled him out of the darkness that was surrounding him. The weight that was holding him down was shattered and he felt like he could fly. He landed onto a soft surface and he felt the warmth ness all around. He opened his eyes and he was back on that lovely field that he was taken away from. And in front of him was Kairi, the only person that could save him from his dark prison. He was overjoyed as he looked into Kairi's cheerful eyes. His soul danced within him as he embraced her happily with arms wide open. They embraced happily for several minutes. When they finally pulled apart Riku smiled at her.
"Thank you for saving me Kairi," he said, "It felt like the world was almost over. But then you came to me."
"Oh Riku," Kairi said breathlessly, "it was almost like I could hear your soul sing out to me..." Riku smiled at her and they embraced once more. Then the sun rose into the sky blinding everything in sight.
//Sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leaning on me
Cause sometimes it feels like that world's almost over
But then she comes back to me//
"RIKU!" Kairi shouted out. "RIKU PLEASE WAKE UP!"
"Huh?...."
~*End Riku's Dream*~
"RIKU, RIKU!" someone was shouting out. Riku was awakened from his twelve- hour sleep by a voice shouting at him Riku shook his head and opened his eyes. He had a gloomy expression on his face from the dream he just had.
"RIKU!" they shouted again. Riku didn't know where he was or who was shouting at him, but he wished they would shut up. He couldn't see anything around him. His vision was blurred from sleeping so long. Finally, his vision came back to him. He opened his eyes and turned to the right to see who it was that had brought him to life from his sleep. It was Kairi. Riku froze. Everything inside of him stopped. And his eyes grew wide.
"Oh Riku, you're awake!" Kairi threw her arms around Riku's neck and started weeping happily into his chest. Riku felt like crying a river right then and there. It was all too much. Everything in that dream was clear now. He was breathing heavily from the overwhelmance of it all. Riku then reached his hands behind his neck and pulled Kairi's hand down. She wiped away her tears.
"Riku, what's wrong?" she sniffed. Tears grew in Riku's eyes.
"Kairi...I...I," he couldn't make words come out. A disturbing lump was in his throat. He didn't know what to say.
"..Yes?" Kairi said softly. Riku wiped his eyes.
"Kairi I...I want you to leave me alone for the moment."
"But Riku I..."
"Kairi..." he interrupted. "..Just go..please." Kari nodded sadly and turned around to leave, shutting the door slowly behind her. Riku bent his head down and wiped his eyes.
"Why is it that my soul just won't let me let go of her?"

Surprisingly...that STILL isn't the end. And in Riku's dream I used some parts of my favorite song: Hailie's Song by Eminem (which by the way I don't own *shocker*). Well I've got the song I wanna use next..now all I need is the story to go around it..=P. Well thatz all for this chapter. Please R/R! ^_^
Peace Out,
Kia Saphia

Surprisingly...that STILL isn't the end. And in Riku's dream I used some parts of my favorite song: Hailie's Song by Eminem (which by the way I don't own *shocker*). Well I've got the song I wanna use next..now all I need is the story to go around it..=P. Well thatz all for this chapter. Please R/R! ^_^
Peace Out,
