Wow, already reviews! Makes me feel happy! I really hope everyone likes this chapter enough to not fall asleep. It's not very eventful...(at least in my eyes!) but it get's bunchies of story in. The summary really sucks...Actually everyone, this was the original summary I wanted to put with it. It's only a bit better...but it was too big to put up! ((tears))
Sora and Riku have a fight that results in a ruined friendship but when Riku finds out Sora's been kidnapped, will he honor a promise made long ago and save him or ignore it and leave him for dead? As for Sora, the people he thought he could trust are beginning to change. It won't be long before he can't even trust himself!
Yeah, neat huh...Uhhhh huh...

The one who knows no fear will submit to the darkness.
The one who fears will become the light.
But the light can be dark and the dark can be light.
They both however, can become dawn,
and defeat the figures which force them to war.
Will they be victorious?
That is up to the one.
The one who holds the power to believe.
CHAPTER THREE: CRIMSON CROSS
It seemed even the sky was crying the next day. Riku wasn't able to sleep knowing that Sora was in danger, and the heavy rain pounding against his window wasn't any help. He thought of all the places he'd look for his silly friend, and all the things he'd say when he was found. Riku wanted to leave on his search for Sora right away but his tired out body refused to move, forcing him to stay in bed a bit longer. "What have I done?" he mumbled to himself, as he felt more tears falling. Riku wasn't the kind of guy to cry but he wasn't going to hold back any emotions at the moment. He couldn't help but feel responsible for everything, and in a way, he was.
-------
Sora woke to find himself in a small dark room. He tried to sit up, but his body felt heavy and stiff. "Are you feeling all right?" a feminine voice asked. Though Sora was not able to move his body, he was however, able to move his eyes and look at the girlish figure beside him.
"Are you the girl from my dream?" he asked.
"Yes my love. I am."
Sora felt his strength slowly return and he was finally able to sit up. "What's this?" he asked when he touched his shirt. He was no longer wearing his old outfit, but a few one made of silk.
"The purest black silk in the world. Made from the stem of the Crimson Passion. Nothing else is worthy of you."
Sora gasped when she mentioned the flower. "Who are you? Why were you in my dream? I want answers!" he yelled, almost jumping from the bed.
"I'm sorry to tell you it wasn't a dream."
Sora began to pout. I've been kidnapped by some girl! This makes me look REAL manly! Riku will never let me forge- Oh...Riku... Sora had almost forgot about the fight with Riku. He probably doesn't even care that I'm missing...
"You're thinking about that boy. The one who hurt you."
Sora observed the girl before him. Her voice was quiet and full of pain, as if she was feeling the same hurt that lurked inside Sora's heart. "Why did you take me away?" Sora finally asked. It had been a question he'd been wondering for awhile.
"Riku hurt you. He doesn't deserve your friendship. If you had stayed there any longer...I didn't want you to cry anymore!"
Sora closed his eyes as the figure embraced him. Her warmth was the same as in the dream, it felt so right. "Are you someone I know?" Sora asked as he slowly fell back to sleep, unable to fight it.
"Don't worry. I'll tell you soon."
---------
"Tidus!" Riku screamed frantically as he spotted Tidus walking down the street. He'd gotten up over and hour ago and began look for Sora right away. "Have you seen Sora?"
Tidus stared in awe at Riku. Riku had forgotten to change out of his bunny pajamas. "What's with the new get-up?" he asked, trying to keep from laughing.
Riku looked down at his clothes and realized he hadn't changed. "Err...My mom makes me wear them. Anyways, this is serious! Sora's been kidnapped!" Riku shouted.
"What? When?"
"Last night."
"Why didn't you do anything?"
"I couldn't! I was to tired!"
"Let's get Wakka!"
"Right!"
As Riku and Tidus ran down the street it occurred to Riku that Tidus was more worried about Sora than he was. "Tidus, is there...something you...should tell me?" Riku asked in between gasps.
"A strange group has been kidnapping people all over the world." Tidus answered.
"Is that all?"
"Afraid so."
"Hmmmm..." Riku knew there was something Tidus wasn't saying, but he'd let it go until later. "Look there's Wakka."
-----------
Sora was in the same field of flowers he'd been before, this time there were two figures with him. "I see you succeeded in stealing me away from the darkness. Now I can awake soon, and choose the path I will lead."
"Sora, I'm sorry for not doing better," a figure mumbled sadly. It was the same female figure as before.
"I was to rough with you." A male voice said. "I apologize for that."
"It's quite alright," Sora chuckled evilly. "I'm not dead am I?" Sora turned to the female figure and embraced her. "My love, I wish I could say your name...but since my other self is watching this, problems could occur. Wait a little longer alright?"
"Yes...Sora."
Sora shot up out of the bed rubbing his head. "Ah man! Not another stupid dream! Gah! I smell like a girl now!" Sora yelled as he tried to rid himself of the perfume scent. All the hugging he'd done on that girl was horrible. Wait...this smell. I know this smell. This is her perfume? No, it couldn't be. Sora shook his head of the random thoughts and slipped out of the bed. He could finally walk now. The floor felt painful on his sore feet. He approached the door, hoping it was open, but was disappointed to find it was still locked. He staggered back to the bed and stepped on something soft. When he picked it up it was none other than a flower, the Crimson Passion.

"I see," Wakka said nodding. The three boys had sat down while Riku explained everything to them. "This is a big problem."
"It is," Tidus agreed.
"Will you help me find him?" Riku asked, almost begging.
"Of course! We want to help Sora out too!" Wakka explained as he grabbed Tidus by the neck and hugged him tight. "Isn't that right Tidus?" Wakka let go of the blond boy and looked into Riku's eyes. "I know where they are."
"You do?" Riku asked as his eyes grew big. "How do you know that?"
"It's common sense ya? You say Sora was muttering about flowers. Flowers are girlie yah? He's in the Yoko Shine All Girls Private School."
"All girls...He couldn't get in there."
"He's girlie enough they may be mistaken."
"Boys?" a female voice asked, which startled them. It was their cute friend Selphie.
"YEAH?" Riku asked loudly. He'd forgotten to not be suspicious. He didn't need the girls worried about their little Sora.
"Have you seen Sora around?" Selphie asked innocently. She was holding a small box wrapped with white paper.
"He's at my house," Riku lied.
"Without you?"
"He'd cleaning my room. I paid him."
"You're so mean. Anyways, I found this on the beach on Destiny Island. Here," Selphie giggled as she handed the box to Riku. "Tell Sora to call me okay? He's needs to help with something for school."
"Okay!"
As Selphie ran off Wakka leaned over to the other two boys and whispered. "It's summer ya? Why does she mess with school over summer?"
"She's a nerd," Tidus joked.
"What the hell?" the two beach boys herd Riku spat out. "What is this?" Riku had opened the box, which had his name on it and found a pink flower inside it.
"A flower?" Tidus asked as he watched Riku pull it out of the box. "The Crimson Cross..."
"How do you know that?" Wakka asked suspiciously.
"Hey hey! It says so on the card inside the box."
"Oh..."
"Is this from Sora?" Riku mumbled as he twirled the beautiful pink flower around between his fingers. "No, it's from someone else."
"Do you know who?" Tidus asked. He grabbed the box from Riku and began to search it. "It doesn't say!"
"I think this has to do with Sora. Wakka?"
"You're right," Wakka replied in surprise. "The school is known for growing rare plants and flowers."
Riku smiled at the flower in his hands and looked up at the two amazed faces before him. "Close your mouths. We're gonna cross-dress," he laughed happily. He truly believed he'd find Sora and everything would be better. What he didn't know, was that fate had a different ending in mind.
