CHAPTER THREE: TRIPLE THE PAIN

"GET OUT!" Those were the words that pulled Riku from his happy place into a living nightmare. He woke up to find Cloud and Sephiroth standing half naked in the middle of his room and the voice had belonged to Cloud.

"Oh Cloud," Sephiroth laughed as he shook his head. "I only mean to understand it more. You need not have a cow or anything. Just show me how you do it. If you do, I'll show you my methods."

"I don't want to know how you do it!" Cloud screamed as a large sword suddenly appeared in his hands and he prepared to attack to silver haired angel.

"Don't fight in here," Riku groaned as he rubbed his eyes. "Didn't I throw you two out?"

The sword in Clouds hands vanished as he turned away from Sephiroth. "Seph broke in," he answered.

"Okay... What did Seph want you to show him?" Riku asked, as he stared at the yawning Sephiroth.

"How he gets his spikes to stick up," Sephiroth answered. "But he was worried I may break one. Oh yee have little faith."

"You bet I don't," Cloud grumbled as he walked over to where Riku was standing. " I'm gonna leave for awhile, I'll be back later." As soon as he finished speaking he vanished into thin air.

"Don't be in a hurry," Riku groaned and then turned to Sephiroth. "What about you? Aren't you going anywhere?"

"Nope!" Sephiroth answered happily and sat down beside Riku.

"Joy..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was one of the longest mornings Riku ever had. He had tried to go back to bed, but every time he fell asleep Sephiroth would tickle his nose. "Fine! I'm awake!" Riku shouted as he slid out of bed and got dressed. Getting dressed was no party either. Sephiroth just wouldn't stop going through his closet. "What do you want in there?" Riku finally asked Sephiroth as he watched his closet be destroyed.

"Some clothes," Sephiroth answered. "I'm tired of this cloak."

"I'm not. So get out!" Riku screamed as he pushed Sephiroth out of his room. Sephiroth stood in the hallway looking kind of depressed.

Now who do I bother? Sephiroth thought as he looked around and then it hit him. "I'll go find Cloud!" he giggled and vanished into the shadows..

Once Riku was sure Sephiroth had left he jumped out his window landing gracefully on two feet.

"Bravo," a voice laughed. Riku turned to find a cloaked man standing behind him. "I see you enjoy jumping out of windows." So this is the boy Sora wishes to make happy. Ah yes, he is perfect. Once Sora gives him my final gift Riku will have no choice but to fear his little friend. But if it doesn't work...

"Who the heck are you?" Riku asked as he approached the strange man.

"My name is Ans-," the man stopped before he finished his sentence. Has Sora told him my name already? Oh drat!

"Yeah? Ans what?"

"Answer. Yes, my name is Answer." Actually it's Ansem and I'm going to get a golden medal for my clever ideas. Ansem thought about removing his hood, but figured it was best if he didn't. "Say, would it worry you if one of your friends fell for you?" Ansem asked Riku.

"Why.......?"

"No reason really!" Ansem chuckled as he turned to leave. Then it's settled. If Riku doesn't hate Sora by Christmas, he'll just have to scare Riku away. Then Sora will be so hurt that he'll help me turn Riku into a heartless! That's right...All the presents Sora gives Riku are part of my plan, all a link to my darkness.

"Answer huh? What a lame name," Riku mumbled as he watched Ansem run down the street laughing to himself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sora sat on the beach watching the fish swim in the shallow water. "I wonder what I should do," he mumbled to himself as he threw a pile of sand into the water. Sora had been following Ansem's orders perfectly. He had given Riku his first two gifts and his friend seemed to have been okay with them, but for some reason Sora wanted to do the number three by himself. Three was a special number to him. It represented the three of them, Sora, Riku, and Kairi. Sora had to come up with the present, not Ansem. What about that black book? I could use that. Sora pondered this idea for a few minutes. "I will!" he laughed as he jumped up and headed towards the Secret Place.

(A few minutes later)

Riku was tying his boat to the dock as he searched the area for any sign of Sora. When he finished his knot, he made his way to the club house to check on his friends body. "Hello?" he called out as he entered with caution. He found Tidus sitting on the floor beside the red haired boys limp body. "Hey Tidus."

"Wakka is dead. Lets just bury him," Tidus moaned.

Riku sat down beside the blond boy. "No way! He's not dead, he's just...not awake. Listen, I'll find out how to get his heart back. I promise," Riku soothed, trying to cheer Tidus up.

"Oh all right," Tidus answered as he covered Wakka's body with the blanket. "I'll let it go for now. You've gotta keep your word though."

Riku sighed. "I'll try man, I'll try..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Riku left the club house, he found Sora wandering around on the beach. I don't think I'll tell Sora about the pet and the heart. It'll only freak him out... "Hey Sora!" he yelled as he waved his hands at the brown haired boy.

Sora turned around and grinned. "Riku!" he replied.

Riku ran down to the beach to meet Sora who was hiding another box behind his back. "What's that?" Riku asked as he reached Sora.

"Your third gift!" Sora answered cheerfully as he handed the box to Riku.

Riku opened the box and slowly opened it. He was surprised to find it only contained a small piece of paper. "What's this?" he asked Sora as he pulled it out and began to read it aloud: "Triple the protection equals triple the love. I ask you protect only me." Riku looked up at Sora. "What does it mean?"

"It means that we will protect you," a deep voice said behind Riku's back.

Riku spun around to find three people standing behind him. Two women and one man, they were all wearing white cloaks and didn't look to friendly. "Right, lemme guess...I'm your master?" Riku asked sarcastically.

The man frowned. "Not really," he answered.

"But we are your bodyguards!" one of the girls added.

"I'm Leon. Not Squall, not Squally dolly, not sugar, just Leon," the brown haired man told Riku. He had a necklace around his neck with some sort of animal figure on it.

"I'm Yuffie!" the brown haired girl announced. Her was short and her eyes green. She looked like she could be related to Selphie.

"And I am Aerith," another woman with brown hair said. Her hair was long and braided, and she also had green eyes.

"And I don't care!" Riku shouted as he turned to Sora. Sadly for him, Sora had already disappeared. While he was trying to figure out where his friend went, he felt someone pulling on his hair. He looked at the culprit and found Yuffie. "What are you DOING?" he asked coldly.

"You're hair is almost like the Leon hair," she stated.

"Aren't you Riku?" Aerith asked.

"Yeah," Riku answered as he tried to pull Yuffie off of his hair.

"I'm a ninja! I'm a ninja!" she sung as she pushed his hands away each time he grabbed at them. Riku began to get angry and tried to escape but as he was running towards his boat, he found that they were already there waiting for him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Riku found himself in his room, with the trio. Leon was being boring and leaning against the door, Yuffie was digging through his closet, and Aerith was on a cleaning rampage.

"Oh Riku! I'm so glad Sora summoned us to take care of you! We're going to have so much fun!" she laughed as she pulled out a tuxedo. "Ohh! Put this on!"

"No thanks," Riku told her as he sat down on his bed. "You guys, what's with everyone and cloaks?"

Leon looked up and glared at Riku. "I don't know. It's the dress code of the black book," he answered.

"Black book?" Riku asked. His thoughts were disrupted when he heard the only two words that struck fear into his mind.

"I'M HOME!!!!!!"

Riku watched the door open and slam as Sephiroth and Cloud entered the bedroom. "AERITH!?" Cloud screamed as he saw her standing in front of the window.

"Cloud?" she asked innocently. "Why are you here?"

"No! You two monsters leave!" Leon roared as his gunblade appeared in his hands.

"I think not!" Sephiroth replied. His sword also appeared in his hands. "I will not let you demons take my Cloud from me!"

"I'm not yours!" Cloud screamed in anger and chucked a box of pencils at Sephiroth's head.

"Ouch! C-cloud! Why?" Sephiroth asked sadly as he turned to Cloud. But it was no use, Cloud didn't hear him because he was too busy watching Aerith clean.

"Hey Aerith. Wanna get back together?" he asked as he swiftly scooted to her side.

"Cloud!" Sephiroth cried. He lunged at Aerith but was stopped by an angry Leon.

"Leave my women alone!" he barked.

"Leave my Cloud alone!" Sephiroth barked back.

"GET OUT!" Riku screamed louder than any of the others. Suddenly silence fell upon the room and they all turned to Riku. Riku was standing on his bed holding a large book. "Window...now...leave..."

Reluctantly the five retarded Christmas presents did as they were told and jumped out the window, all landing on each other.

"You know," Sephiroth mumbled as he crawled out from under the stack of people. "I don't really think he likes us."

"YOU THINK?" everyone else snapped.

"On the third day of Christmas my best friend gave to me," Riku began to sing as he walked over to his bed. "Three crazy body guards, two fallen angels, and a heartless in a pear tree."
