Chapter 3: Forsaken

"Riku! Riku, wake up!"

He groaned at the continuation of being shaken. His body vibrated with pain, and movement wasn't helping. Slowly opening his eyes, a blurry Sora came into focus. "S-Sora?" "You must've passed out after getting us here." Looking around his memory flooded in, along with a pounding headache. He was pretty banged up, on the other hand, Sora only had a few scrapes and bruises.

The winds from the slowly dying storm flowed through the hollow passage way. The sand underneath them was cool and damp, somewhat relaxing to Riku. "Thanks for saving me, I owe you one." he said as he looked into the sadden aquatic eyes of the older one. His arm lay limp in a unnatural position; he held it tightly, hoping to subdue the numb, throbbing pain. "The..raft.." Riku whispered out loud. All their hard work, all their time they spent on it, washed away by the unforgiving sea. "Don't sweat it, we'll build a new one- a better one!" Sora praised. "...Is that so?" he smirked at his childish idealism. "Yeah, you'll see." He helped Riku up, and looked at his broken arm. "AAhh!...damn it!" was the response he got after moving it slightly. "it's broken alright." Taking off his jacket, he made a splint for him. A smiled crawled upon Riku's lips as the brunette propped his arm into it. "That's gonna have to do, least 'til we get u some better help." "It's ok, thanks." He sat next to him, listening to the rain outside. The storm was still at it, and they weren't in any condition to head back out in it.

"Sora?" he turn to face him in time to meet soft lips against his. Stunned, yet happy, he blushed. It was short, but sweet and meaningful. "For yesterday, on the beach." "oh...heh...ok." he was gleaming. Riku had kissed him! And he couldn't be happier. The silver haired one laughed softly. He felt the same way as Sora, even though he didn't show it. "Guess this gonna take some time getting used to."

"Riku!....Sora!...Are you guys out here?!"

Kairi shouted around. The storm had finally died down, leaving the island a mess. "Sora!...someone!" she walked around kicking branches and palm leaves out her way. "where are those two?"

"....Riku....Sora..."

He stirred at the sound of their names being called in the distance. Fluttering his eyes open, and having a good yawn, he looked over to the sleeping Sora on his shoulder. 'Must've dozed off again..'

"Riku....Sora...where are you?"

He gently patted Sora's cheek. "Hey...Kairi's out looking for us."...he groaned and settled back down on his shoulder. "That's nice..." he whispered sleepily. Laughing at his stubbornness, he kissed his forehead. "I was afraid I lost you." Sora smiled and snuggled closer, "Can't get rid of me that easily."

"Sooorrraaaaa! You-!" she stumbled over some branches, falling face first in wet sand. "Pla-uck! Patooie!" she spat out a mouth full. "Darn them, I know they hear me.." she sat up, dusting sand off her and examining her freshly cut knee.

"Hey, Kairi! We're in here!"

"Riku?! Where?!" She jumped up. "In the secret place!" she scrambled around and to the passage. Kairi peeked through the ferns and giggled. "Hehehe. There you are!" Riku smirked at her quietly. "It's so dark in there, are u two ok?" looking back over Sora he smiled. "besides a few injuries, we're ok." Riku made his way out first, then turn to Sora, holding out his hand in his classic pose. He reached out for it, only to find air. "Riku your arm!" Kairi grabbed him first. "It's only a slight fracture.." he ran a hand through his hair coolly. She hugged him gently "what happened?" Sora crawled out. "Don't worry, I'm ok too Kairi..." he said dryly while dusting himself off. She glared at him "This is no time to joke around Sora! He's-" "Ok! Really Kairi, don't worry some much." he interrupted. "ok, sorry, but still let's go back to my house anyway. I got a MedKit." she dragged him away after volunteering her services. He looked back at Sora, shrugging. "Sora has injuries too you know." Sora walked quietly behind the two, paying close attention when she laughed at something he said or grabbed his hand. ' She's such a flirt...'

"Does that hurt?" she finished wrapping his broken arm. "No, not at all. Uh, thanks Kairi." Sora sat in his corner, placing band-aids on his scratches. "Does that hurt?" he mimicked her under his breath. "Sora, what's wrong? You haven't said two words since we got here." Riku smiled slightly. "Nothing, kinda hungry I guess!" he laughed it off with a cheesy grin. "Really? I can fix up something to eat!" she skipped off. Riku got up and knelt next to him. "You sure you're ok?" should've known better than to try and fool him. "Yeah, I'm fine!" he opened a band-aid and placed it on Sora's scrapes, rubbing it in place slowly. "You're positive?" he whispered seductively. Well, maybe it wasn't meant that way, but Sora sure thought so. "um...yeah." "What do you want Riku?" she called from the kitchen. "Whatever is fine." she went back to doing what she was doing. Frowning, Sora spoke up. "Hey, what about what I want?!" she didn't respond.

After they ate, Kairi suggested a movie. "I have the perfect movie! Hehehe! Hold on!" she went upstairs leaving the boys alone. "Finally!" Sora flopped next to him, and he wrapped an arm around him automatically. "Been wanting my attention Sora?" He smirked. "Riku, it's so obvious she wants you." Sora pouted. "Do you still want her too?" the older boy sat silent. How could he have forgotten? Did he really still have feelings for her? For Kairi? "Ok, movie time!" she announced coming downstairs. Not noticing their sudden jump apart. After popping the dvd in, she sat between them, laying her head on Riku and her feet on an annoyed Sora.

It turns out that the movie was a tear jerker, even though she was the only one crying at the end. Sora was snoozing and Riku was in deep thought. "Did you like the movie Riku?" she purred, knocking him out his thinking process. "Yeah, it was great." he answered smoothly. Looking past her, he caught an eye full of the sleeping Sora. "He's so cute when he's asleep." She giggled. "Maybe. But when-" she paused suspiciously and sat up. "Did you just call Sora cute?" He cursed himself loudly on the inside for not being able to hold their secret for no time at all. "I mean, you know, that weak kinda punk-ish cute." he rebounded. She frown in thought for a minute. 'Here it comes!...' he gulped. "You're so right!" His body relaxed further into to couch with relief. Then they just sat there, unsure what to do next. Sora's snores were the only thing heard, along with a clock ticking somewhere in the house. Falling back into his thoughts, he didn't notice her eyes surveying him closely. "Riku." sighing, he gave her an attentive smile. "hmm?" She placed a delicate hand on his cheek, he looked at her, asking unheard questions. "kiss me." He gasped in total shock. "K-Kairi, I don't-" she placed a finger on his lips to hush him. She scooted closer under him, trail tantalizing fingers down his chest. "Do it." his cool calm attitude was melting away by the second. He looked around her and at Sora. "Kairi, I can't." She smiled devilishly. "What's stopping you? I know you always wanted to." "But, Sora...and I...uh." he began to stammer stupidly. This was one of the most luckiest moments ever! His chance to kiss her! Something he's dreamed about. But...'There must be a way out of this without...' "Sora's asleep. He could sleep through a tornado." She swept some bangs from his sea green eyes. He wanted to so badly, but things were different now, WAY different. But before he cold explain she pressed her petite lips against his. He open his mouth to argue, but she only took it as an opportunity to slip in some tongue. His mind was racing! She placed a hand on his thigh and deepen the kiss, driving poor Riku over the cliff. It was settled. He still had strong feelings for Kairi no matter how he tried to fight it.

Placing a hand on her neck, he moaned into it. Playing tongue tag. The kiss only grew hotter the longer they did it. He couldn't control himself, it was all down hill. Sora stirred, and yawned loudly, rubbing his eyes. Riku took this only chance and pushed himself away from her kiss. Coughing nervously, he walked to the kitchen. "Riku?" she was lost. Still breathing hard he replied. "I need some water." Sora sat up sleepily. "Did I miss the movie? Oh, darn..." he flung sarcasm at her. "Yes you did," she rolled her eyes at him, "but me and Riku watched it together. Right Riku?" Finishing his third glass off, he agreed. "What did you put in his food to make him stay awake?" She narrowed her eyes at him. He looked at the clock and set his glass down. "Sora, we should leave. Gotta get up early, start on the raft." he avoided looking at her as he made his way to the door. "No arguing here..." Sora got up and walked over too. Stopping at the now open door, he thanked her, without looking back. "No, thank you, Riku." he walked out quickly, leaving Sora behind. "Wait up!"

They walked home in silence, other than the jingle of Sora's chain and an occasional sigh that escaped Riku's lips. He didn't know what to do. Kairi had awakened feelings within him again. But Sora was who he was with, and he was happy with him. Knowing he couldn't have both, he had to figure out who gave him more vigor. "Sora." he said suddenly. The brunette looked up quickly, half startled. Riku suddenly grabbed him and placed him against a tree, "Riku?" he questioned as his blue eyes were being cut through by powerful emerald ones. "I need to know..." Before Sora could ask any more questions, he felt his lips being overwhelmed by Riku's. He responded by wrapping arms around him, returning the kiss. He was loving every minute of it, well while it lasted. Breaking the kiss, Riku stared back at him. Eyes shining majestically through the darkness, ivory skin radiantly glowing under the pale moonlight. Everything about him in that single moment seemed unreal; like a fantasy. "What's the matter, Riku?" Sora was confused. "We still have a chance..." "Wha?..."

"Riku! Get over here and help me out!"

He spun around to see his father in the distance, working on a broken window the storm damaged. "Alright!" Giving Sora one last look over, he pressed his body against his. Pushing them out of sight. Sora heart skipped a few beats at their proximity. "Sweet dreams, Sora." he whispered in his ear. Then ran off to help his father.

"Night...Riku."
