To Die For

Solitude
Disclaimer: Hey all! I hope you liked the last chapter, and I hope you're gonna like this one too! Things are starting to get revved up and things are gonna happen soon! Anyway, I'm not gonna give it away and just let you read it for yourself, and lemme know by reviewing what you think! Oh, and I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or any of it's characters, though Stanton is mine, with no exceptions!!!!!!**muhhahaha!** Sooooo, on with the story!!
Riku sat on his bed in his room, trying to figure out what he had done. He wasn't sure if it was the right thing. Sure he was angry with Kairi, but he couldn't hate her forever, could he? He told her that it was over, and that he didn't care, even though the truth was he did. She had told the truth, or at least what he thought was the truth. All Riku could think about was her, and what happened between them. He didn't know if he wanted to go anywhere tonight. Lock went up to Riku and looked very pissed.
"So, you're sayin that you don't wanna go ANYWHERE? Anywhere at all?" he asked. Riku sighed and turned to him.
"That's right. I'm tired, I'm hungry and I'm going to be very angry if you don't stop bothering me." Riku said, staring at lock, then Shock, then Barrel all in turn.
"But..Come on! It's the best night of the year! You wouldn't want to miss it, would you?" Lock said.
"Yeah! I mean, we've been planning this all year long!" Shock said, taking her place next to Lock.
"Don't disappoint us now!" Barrel finally chimed in, absentmindedly licking his lollypop. The three has traveled from Halloween town to visit Riku and Sora, but mainly to see how Halloween would turn out on Destiny Island. Riku only clenched his fists and shook his head. He looked over to Stanton, whom was leaning against his wall, who only shrugged. Riku rolled his eyes, then looked out the big window. Stanton got the hint and walked towards the three kids, and gave them a nice push over onto the floor. They shouted at him as they gathered themselves together. Stanton only laughed.
"Hehehe, just like dominoes!" He paused looking over to Riku, then back at the three. "Maybe, if Riku says he doesn't want to go anywhere, you should listen to him and leave him alone, got it?" He asked, glaring at them.
"But-" Barrel started to protest, but Stanton cut him off.
"Hey, I said shut up, okay!"
"Make me!" The four of them started yelling at each other back and forth, and Riku found himself getting even more pissed off then he already was.
"Cut it out!" He yelled to the four of them, who immediately stopped. "Fine, I'll go somewhere...just as long as you four knock off all the Damned arguing!" He sighed, taking in some air. "It might take my mind off...things." Riku hesitated finishing the sentence, because he was going to say Kairi. 'Why does it bother me to think about her? Why does it hurt?' He didn't want to think about her having fun with out him.
"Getting out will help you stop thinking about Kairi, you mean." Stanton said. Riku flashed him a death glare. "You should stop dwelling on her."
"I'm not...anymore." Riku admitted. He didn't know why Stanton brought her up.
"Yes, anymore being the key word here. Kairi was just a fling and there are worlds of opportunities out there. It's better to not center on it." Riku looked amused towards Stanton.
"Who are you to judge my relationships?" He asked
"Well, it seemed like that to me, anyway." Stanton said, giving Riku a playful punch on the shoulder.
"Believe me," Riku started. "I know there's wolds of opportunities, I've been to almost all of them, remember?" Stanton laughed at Riku's joke. Lock, Shock and Barrel just stood in the middle of the room, looking at the two boys, very confused.
Riku smiled for a minute. Stanton was a good friend. They had known each other since child hood, but they were never as "close" you could say as he and Sora were. That was until the Heartless incident. The events that occurred then had pulled Sora away form him and they had never really been the same. So in Sora's absence, Stanton stepped in. Riku thought it better to have Stanton around anyway. He knew what Riku thought and acted like more of a friend than Sora ever really had. They were always competing with each other over Kairi's attention anyway.
"Hey, I saw that smile. Cheer up, and we'll go out and ditch these kids, so we can have some fun alright?" Stanton said.
"Yeah, right." Riku said to him. Sure they were good friends, but sometimes Stanton couldn't take the hints. Riku shook his head again, got up off his bed and walked over to his window. He stared out at the rolling waves and the setting sun, which was casting an orange and pink colour into the sky. He closed his eyes, and leaned on the window ledge, letting the last sun rays warm his face. He could hear Stanton telling, or more like yelling at, Lock, Shock and Barrel to leave.
"Why?" Shock asked, trying not to be pushed out the door along with the other two. Stanton only pushed harder.
"Because," He said "You wouldn't want to miss all the good candy and scary decorations around, would you?" He said, finally getting the Three out and closing the door in their faces. "Yeah, and stay out!" he said to their complaints that were heard from the other side of the door. After a while, Riku heard the three of them leave and go off to do other things. Stanton turned and looked at Riku, who was still staring out the window. He walked up next to him to try to see what Riku was staring at, before closing his eyes. He just shrugged and leaned against the wall instead.
"It's the ocean." Riku said.
"What?" Stanton asked confused about what he was talking about.
"I was looking at the ocean before." He said, eyes still closed.
"Oh...okay." Stanton said. "Um, hey, I actually need to go somewhere for a while first. That okay with you?" he asked. Riku opened his eyes, turned around and walked back over to his bed, then turned to face Stanton.
"Like what?" Riku asked, wondering.
"Oh, you know, decorations. And I gotta go get the stupid candy my bum-of-a-dad forgot to get." Stanton finished. "I mean, you wouldn't mind hanging here for a while, would you? I'll be back in about an hour, hour and a half at most. So, you can have time to just relax, be alone and get ready to go wherever, yeah?" Riku shrugged.
"Sure, it's cool. Doesn't matter really. Just don't leave me hanging by going after some girl and not inviting me." He said half jokingly. Stanton was a popular guy, and was very popular with the girls. He only smiled.
"Right. I'll be back." Stanton walked past Riku, and as he passed, Riku sensed a sort of displacement between them, as if Stanton was lying about something, despite his comforting smile. ' Something's not right' Riku thought. ' Is he holding something back?' He wondered. Stanton walked out of the room, and Riku went over and closed the door behind Stanton.
Stanton leaned against the wall by Riku's door, and heard Riku shuffle his way over to where his stereo and turn it on to some random rock station. Stanton smiled as he left the house, knowing that his efforts were not for nothing. He walked away from Riku's house, heading a few blocks over, in the direction of Selphie's
