Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters..... Well,
I finally got the game for my birthday but I don't think that counts as
owning Kingdom Hearts.... ^_^
Hihi! Gomen Minna! I'm so sorry for not updating sooner. That's one of the problems I have, I'm either late or slow in everything....It's rather depressing really. I've been working on another fic, and another and another.....it's horrible. I really need to finish one of them sometime.
Well, back to important things, THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL THE REVIEWS!!!! XD I tend to thrive over them, though they might not inspire ideas for the fic it was for. I've been sitting planning out this fic for awhile and I still don't know where I want it to end up. I guess the same goes for my other fics, somehow they just always end up in a dead end . I don't want that to happen to this one! And so this won't happen to this one, I think I'll make the next chapter be the last. Not that I don't love this story or couple, cuz I do, it's just that I don't really have time to be writing this. As you can tell by how long it took me to update.
Hehe, well, let's see what I can come up with tonight. I don't usually write down a draft before writing so remember people, this all comes to me as I type! ^_^ I think that's what makes updates so hard for me..... Ah well!
Enjoy!
AN: Still might be OOC even though I finally got the game and can observe them in their natural habitat (sorry I had to say it XD) And, this fic will most likely be all in Sora's POV....For some reason I think I'm a bit better at POV fics.....

-Kinds of Love- part 2
Sora's POV-
By now we were all sitting around the fire. Reaching out so the heat would warm up our fingertips. Riku was sitting across from me. He was waving his arms about as he explained something to Wakka and Tidus who always listened intently to him, even if his story may be boring. I smiled to myself as I watched him, then he turned in my direction and smiled back.
I was a bit shocked at first, but then I turned away. Suddenly I heard Selphie, "Oo! Riku! Riku! I almost forgot!" She reached into her coat pocket and signaled for him to follow her, "I got them, just like I promised!" She beamed and Riku laughed.
I watched them walk towards the water so that they could look at, whatever it was, in the moonlight. Giggles soon echoed through the night air and Riku came back, leaving Selphie on the shore and with a light tinge of pink on his cheeks. Before he returned to his seat he stared at me, and then turned to whisper something to Tidus.
Slowly Tidus eyes widened and a blush swept across his face as well.
"I'll.....be....um......right back." he said as he got up and ran to join Selphie.
He must've told him about her crush......But that means.....HE GOT THE NAKED PICTURES OF ME!!!!
I threw my hands over my mouth and screamed into them. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Even Kairi's dirty look, turned to one of shock when she saw this, but Riku laughed. I looked at him with wide-eyes. Then I pointed at him as I revealed my mouth,
"You!" Then I pointed at Selphie, "And you!"
"Did you come to a certain realization Sora?" Riku raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know......" I returned the same expression, "Have I?"
"How about this?" Riku proposed to everyone, "We'll play truth-or- dare....That's always fun."
I looked warily from person to person, but to my dismay they all agreed to play. Dammit! They always vote against me! Ok, I'll admit, I like Riku.... But to reveal it in truth-or-dare, THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!
Riku was up first (since he decided to start the game), Kairi was asking, "Riku, truth-or-dare?"
"Truth...."
"Hm..." She rubbed her chin in thought, "Do you like-like someone here?"
He nodded, "Yes..."
"Who?"
"Can't do that Kairi..." He shook his finger at her, "Only one question per turn...."
She glared at the silver-haired boy and crossed her arms in anger, but then Riku pointed from person to person and then slowed down until he stopped on...... me.
I gulped and everyone said, "Oooo......."
"What?" I announced to all of them, "I have no secrets....Go ahead Riku ask."
He shrugged innocently and said, "Truth-or-dare?"
"Dare....."
"Heh," Riku laughed a little, "You just made things very interesting Sora...Very very interesting...."
Whatever he was thinking couldn't be as bad as he was making it seem, right? He kept stalling in telling me what my dare was that I started to sweat a little on the back of my neck...or maybe that was just my jacket? Finally, he stood up and pointed to the small island with the paopu tree.
"I dare you to get a paopu fruit, and share it with the one you care for most....."
The small circle of teens' eyes grew wide in surprise of his dare. I really couldn't believe it myself. Was he trying to make me confess tonight? I feel so stupid when I begin to ask myself questions. I slowly stood up myself and responded to him with a nod,
"Yea sure, I'll take on your dare...."
"I thought you would, I wouldn't expect less from my equal." He winked as he handed me a small torch and I began my short trek to the island.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once I arrived at the tree my torch was beginning to burn low,
"Dammit, I can barely see the freaking fruit..." I climbed slowly so I wouldn't fall off.
Once I could finally see one in my range of grabbing, I realized it required both of my hands so naturally I had to find a way to put down the torch with out putting it out. I dug the end of my light source in the ground and proceeded to claiming the fruit, but even if I got one, who would I share it with?
"Kairi.....?" My fingers barely touched the paopu, "Or.....RIIIIIKKKKUUU!?"
My balance was slipping. Dammit, why couldn't I be just a couple inches taller like Riku? Then I'd be able to reach the paopu no problem, but now really wasn't the time to complain. If I didn't land right, I could probably crack my head open or something.
Like an idiot, I tried to turn around so I could see where I was landing, but that just threw me off balance more. In a last attempt to regain myself, I tripped over my own legs and hit my head on the blasted tree. The next thing I knew.....I was falling......and then.....
"Sora, I got you!" Riku caught me gently and wrapped his arms around me, like he did in the ocean earlier today.
I thought it was a dream. That truly was the only way to explain the feeling , but there were also so many other words for it. You know that feeling when you know you're completely safe and protected from everything? It's the exact feeling I get when Riku would hold me like this. I smiled to myself.
Both of us fell into the water with a splash. Now really wasn't the best time to be taking a dip, it was freezing! But despite the temperature, my heart was still beating faster and faster as Riku's arms wrapped around my mid-riff to make sure we didn't get separated. At this moment I had a flashback from when we were kids....
I remember falling into the water when I couldn't swim, and Riku jumped in to save me. He was the only one who was willing to dive in. Even when we were little his voice was always so reassuring and calming. Him saying, "You'll be okay Sora..." kept ringing and echoing in my head, until I realized we surfaced and Riku hung his head over my shoulder in a tired manner.
"You okay?" I asked.
I felt his head nod to signal he was ok, but he still didn't lift his head or let go of my body. Was he really ok? He was so different right now from the scary, kinda giddy Riku that existed only an hour ago.
Once we got to the shore, Riku collapsed and took in air in gasps. I watched in awe as his breathing gradually began to slow. His chest would rise, then descend, and every once in a while you'd a hear a small sigh. But my thoughts were interrupted by,
"Were you able to get one?"
I shook my head to free them of my stray thoughts, "Huh?"
"Were you able to get one? A paopu fruit?"
"Oh....Um..." I checked my pockets, but to no avail, "No, I didn't..."
"So I came and saved your butt, and took a swim in the freezing cold ocean, just so you couldn't get a paopu fruit?!"
I looked down in embarrassment, "Yea...sorry Riku."
He smiled as he reached into his own pocket, "It's ok...I got one for you."
He took my hand and placed the yellow star-shaped fruit in my palm as his face was once again illuminated by a smile. His smile seemed so much brighter than usual, if they were stars, they would've brightened an infinite universe. I stared, dumbfounded at the fruit that was claimed to intertwine people's destinies.
"Y'know," Riku began, "You better make up with Kairi if you want to share that with her tonight...."
I gave him a surprised look, "But Riku...I thought you," I blushed, "....liked....me."
"Heh, I do....." He looked up to the night sky, "It just seemed more appropriate for you to share it with her, that's all."
He got up and started to walk back to the others, "If anyone asks, I'll tell them you got the fruit yourself, or else they might think I helped you." A wink joined this line, "Last one to the fire is a rotten egg!" He set off at a run.
I watched him speed off ahead of me. It seemed more appropriate for me to share the paopu with Kairi? Why? It's weird he'd say that, even when he has feelings for me....
I took a few steps forward before setting off at a run myself, "I'll surprise him..." I thought, "I'll surprise everyone. I want to share the paopu with Riku, not Kairi...."
~*To be Concluded*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yea, I decided I'll end this next chapter. Don't worry the ending will be as sweet and fluffy as cotton candy! XD I always make my characters go all emotionally messed up towards the end of a fic. Ah well! That's my pattern. :P
Well, please review! I'm getting a bit tired now. It's past midnight. Oh yeah, and I might end up changing the rating of this fic for the ending...I was thinking about getting a little descriptive or something....:P Who knows what'll happen? Oh wait...I do cuz I'm the author! XD Wow, I really am tired...Until next time! Ja ne!
