OK, here's a new chappie….enjoy! I promise the chapters will get longer, but I just haven't had any time….but this one's going to be cut short!

Riku ran to Sora and held him up.

"Sora, are you OK?" he asked.

Sora didn't say anything. Riku pulled out his cell phone and tossed it to Kairi. "Call an ambulance, Kairi!" he said.

After Sora was rushed to the hospital, Riku and Kairi both waited in the waiting room while the ER dealt with Sora. After what seemed like an eternity, a doctor came.

"Your friend has Hercules-" he said.

"We know he has Hercules Cricket disease!" snapped Riku. "It's killing Sora!"

"I'm sorry, doctor, but Riku's a little anxious." said Kairi.

"I understand. I lost my friend to that same disease when I was about your age." said the doctor. He looked at some papers on a clipboard. "Sora just had a relapse of the disease, but he's going to lose the ability to walk."

"WHAT?" cried Riku.

"I'm sorry…..there's just nothing I could do." said the doctor. "He can walk fine right now, but within a few days, Sora will be confined to a wheelchair."

So, I'll never see him chase Riku again? thought Kairi.

Kairi began to cry some more.

Several days later, Sora was released from the hospital, but the day after his release, Sora fell out of bed and said he couldn't walk, so he had to go back to the hospital. Sora came out the same day. They just gave him his wheelchair.

When Riku came to Sora's house, he saw Sora and his wheelchair.

"Sora!" cried Riku.

"I…I can't walk." said Sora sadly.

"I know." said Riku. "Man, once Kairi sees this, she'll freak!"

"It'll break her heart." said Sora. "It's breaking mine and I know it's breaking yours, Riku."

Riku just sat down. "I thought I'd never see something like this ever happening." he said. "If anyone got diagnosed with a disease like yours, it should have been me."

"Don't say that, Riku." said Sora. "Things can get worse before they get better. Maybe I'm going to die so that things can get better. After all, you are the real keyblade master."

Riku was silent.

"Can you keep this promise?" asked Sora.

"Yeah, shoot." replied Riku.

"When I die, tell Kairi I love her, I'll always be in yours and her heart. I'm also not dead if you keep thinking of me…."

I'm outta time, the promise will continue later. I still have more to say!
