CHAPTER 2 Early morning talk and a partial confession.

--Riku's Pov--

I stare at the brown haired boy. "Do you mind moving so I can come inside?" he asks softly. I nod and step back as he

climbs through the window.

"So I ask again, what brings you here this early in the morning?" I say as I sit down on my

bed, motioning him to sit as well. He slowly walks over and sits down, (He has no idea how cute he

is!) I think then mentally kick myself for thinking that.

"I had a bad dream...." I hear him say, that brings me back to reality, I stare at him.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He looks over at me and I see that he is crying. "Sora?" I

ask softly.

"Riku, it was so scary!" he yells as he throws his arms around me, this catches me by

surprise, I fall onto the floor with a loud bang.

(I hope my parents didn't hear that!) I think to myself.

"There were these creepy black things with yellow eyes and you were there but...." his

voice trails off as I push both of us into a sitting position.

"But what Sora?" I ask, running my fingers through is dark brown hair. He silently looks

up at my face, into my eyes. "Sora?"

" Your eyes looked soulless as though you couldn't hear me." Sora says as he looks down

towards the floor, I pull my hand back down to my side.

"Sora it's okay....it was just a dream."

"But....it seemed so real!" the brown haired boy yells as once more tears begin to fall down his face.

"Sora...." I mutter, "don't cry..." Before I know what I'm doing I pull him into a hug.

"Everything will be fine....I won't ever leave you, I promise."

"Riku." he says softly before hugging me back. I have no idea how long we stay in this

position, I lose all sense of time in the embrace. The next thing I know Sora is saying something. I

slowly open my eyes to find that we both apparently fell asleep on the floor. "Riku, the sun looks

like it rose a few hours ago....I need to get home before my mom finds out I'm not in bed." I nod

and run my fingers through his hair again.

"You're so beautiful...." I say quietly. I smile as Sora blushes and averts his eyes towards

my desk. "What's wrong?"

"I..um...well..." he begins.

"RIKU! GET UP!!" I hear my mom yell from downstairs. I stare at Sora as if encourging

to continue. "RIKU!" my mom yells again.

"I better go." he says, getting to his feet still blushing slightly. I nod while getting to my

feet as well.

"Riku, I'm coming up!" my mom yells, I hear her footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Bye." Sora says as he heads towards the window, beginning to climb through it. He turns

back to me, smiling big. "I'll meet you by the bent papou tree after breakfast, okay?" I nod and

smile back at him. Before I know it he's gone from my sight heading back towards his house. My

mom throws my bedroom door open.

"Riku! Wake---!" she begins but looks over at me staring out of the window. "What are

you doing?"

"Just admiring the most beautiful morning I've ever seen, mom....nothing more." I say

with a smile. I turn to her, "So, what's for breakfast?" She stares at me with an eyebrow raised,

then turns to leave.

"Pancakes and eggs." I hear her say before shutting the door. I hear her footsteps on the

stairs and sigh.

"That was close....." I mumble as I start to get dressed. I walk into the bathroom and

brush my teeth then try to straiten my hair out. When I look into the mirror I see a pair of orange

eyes staring at me. "Wha--"

/The door will open soon..../

A voice says to me, I close my eyes tight and when I open them again I see my own reflection in the

mirror. "What the hell?" I ask to the empty room around me. After a few moments I continue to

get ready. Thirty minutes later I've eaten three pancakes and two helpings of eggs, I'm

running down towards the docks to get my boat and head for the other island. I start to think about

Sora and the events that took place this morning are pushed to the far reaches of my mind.

--Sora's Pov--

I lay on the papou tree with my eyes closed thinking of one thing, "Riku..." the name repeats over

and over in my mind. "Why am I thinking so much about him so much?" I ask no one in particular.

"Good morning Sora."

I hear a voice say. I smile mentally, "riku...." his name comes to me.

"HEY!" I hear the boy yell in my ear. I open my eyes to see a pair of orange eyes a couple of inches

in front of my own.

"AGHHHHH!" I yell and fall out of the tree and onto the ground. "Owwww! That hurt!" I

glare up towards the tree but no one is there. "Huh?"

"SORA!" I hear Riku yell as he comes running across the pier that leads to the small island.

I sit up rubbing the back of my head, I stare at him as he runs up. "What's wrong?" he asks, bending down to my eye level.

I blink a couple of times before answering, "I fell out of the tree...." I mumble as I blush and look

away. (Why am I blushing?) I ask myself. I hear the sand move lightly, when I turn around Riku is

sitting in front of me, just staring. "Riku?" I ask in a slightly worried tone.

"Sora....I need to tell you something." I nod, silently telling him to continue. "I lov----" he

begins but is interrupted by a girl yelling.

"SORA! RIKU!" Kairi yells as she approaches the two boys.

We both turn towards her and Riku mutters something to the effect of "Damn her! I finally get my

chance and...." the white haired boy says the rest in a soft tone which I can't make out.

"What are you guys doing over here, this early in the morning?" the red head asks

sweetly.

I look up at her smiling, "Just talking."

"Oh! About what?" she asks sitting down.

"None of your damn business!" Riku practically yells at Kairi. I stare at Riku, I know I'm

gaping but I don't care. (There's a hint of...) "red?" I say this last word out loud.

"What?" Kairi asks me. I blink and look over at her. "Sora?" she asks placing a hand on

my shoulder.

I look over to see that Riku isn't sitting there, "Where's Riku?" I ask getting to my feet. Kairi stares

up at me before getting to her feet.

"He left about five minutes ago....he headed back to the main land." she says.

I nod and start towards the docks. "Sora?" Kairi yells after me, I ignore her. I place a foot on the

docks as Kairi who apparently ran after me grabs my wrist. "Sora what's wrong?" she asks, turning

me to face her.

I stare off towards the water trying to avoid her gaze. After a moment I pull away from her getting

into my boat. "Kairi....I have to go...."

She walks over stopping me from untying the boat, "Why?"

"Something's wrong with Riku." I say grabbing my oar.

"Just because he's in a bad mood doesn't mean---" she begins but I cut her off.

"NO! You don't understand!" I yank the rope from her hands, pushing away from the

dock and heading towards the main island. I hear her yell after me but ignore it, all I can think about

is getting to Riku.

EH: ((smiles evilly)) Can anyone guess who or what's orange eyes were in the mirror? Hmm? I'll give

you cookie if you get it right!
