Summary: What happens when a strange girl comes to take Sora somewhere, but Riku doesn't want him to go? Strange twists and turns!

Utopia

The melody played softly, wrapping around the harmony. Whiffs of music yet to come played softly, ghosting through the rooms. The only sound was the music. Eventually, even that died out, too, leaving just silence. No one talked, nothing moved. There was no color, only Nothingness. Nothingness has no color, no sound, no taste, no feel, no aroma. Nothing was Nothing. It gave away nothing. But Nothing moves. It moves slowly, feeding off everything, turning it into Nothing, until its host is Nothing. And Nothing will settle into even the purest of hearts, slowly feeding off of the host's emotions……

I heard something. It was soft, barely more than a whisper, there one moment, then gone the next. It was a chord, a soft sweet chord, coming back at every stab of pain that I felt. I closed my eyes and let my hair hang on each side of my face, enveloping me in its protective and soft embrace. The note kept coming, but soon it got fainter, until it died out. My heart felt cold. I swore that I would never feel any thing ever again.

"RIKU! Where are you?"

I rolled over, the memory of last night forgotten. A brown mop of hair came barging into my room and landed right on top of me. I sat straight up in my bed.

"Ow! Fuck, Sora, you idiot! Ever heard of, 'look before you leap into Riku's bed!'" Sora only giggled.

"I did look, and I landed right where I wanted to!" Sometimes, Sora can be the most annoyingnest person in the world! Wait, is that even a word? Anyways, Sora had landed smack on my chest. He was looking up at me with those big blue eyes, a familiar pout on his lips. Now, the urge to smack him was gone. Instead, I groaned and got out of bed.

"Well, now that you have busted up my internal organs, I guess I have to actually live today," I said, making Sora blush. It was summertime, so I threw on a black, tight fitting tank top and some baggy black shorts. Not bothering to comb my hair, it's already perfect anyways; I opened the door and went downstairs, with Sora following me. I grabbed a bagel. Sora ran outside to wait for me. I think that he's up to something but I can't be sure…

Walking outside, I find that Sora has disappeared. I shrug, a piece of bagel in my mouth. Walking toward the end of my yard, I hear a "Get him!" A water balloon comes flying at me. I drop to the ground, but there's more! I try to dodge them, but I can't. A few hit me. I spot Sora, Tidus, Selphie and Kairi behind a bush. Slowly, I sneak up on them, then, before they can do anything, I give them a great big bear hug, getting them all wet.

"Ri- Ku!" Sora yells, jumping up. He turns around, then notices how close we are. I still haven't let them go. Sora blushes. I always knew that he had a crush on me. I drop my arms and they all stand up.

"Ha, we gotcha pretty good that time, Riku," laughs Selphie. I grin and pick up a water balloon that they forgot to throw. Everyone's eyes get wide.

"RUN!" screams Kairi. Poor Sora. His reflexes suck. I grab him and hold around the waist with one arm and hold the water balloon threateningly close to him. Sora squirms in my arms, and at one point I feel his ass. I freeze for a moment. It felt…good.

"Come back and be my eternal slaves forever and I won't throw this on Sora!" I call out. No one comes out. "All right, you've given me no choice! I must now proceed to dump this water balloon on Sora!" I lift up my arm.

"Riku!" Sora yells, "Stop! Don't do it! I don't wanna get wet!" I smile a cold cruel smile. I can hear giggling from the bushes. I slowly lift up my arm, creating tension in the air. Sora stares up at me, a look of horror on his face. I stretch my arm and let it hang there, suspended, in the air.

"Aw, just get on with it already!" Tidus shouts from behind the bush. I shrug, and my arm goes whipping down. I let go of the balloon, and it hits Sora- right on the top of his brown, spiky hair. The spikes droop with the weight of the water, but they don't collapse. I stare at it in amazement.

"Honestly Sora, how much gel do you put in your hair each morning?" I ask.

"None, why?"

I shake my head. Wakka walks up to us.

"Everyone on the island could hear your fight, ya? You were so loud!" he says, "By the way, there's a new girl on the island. I think she had, like, major surgery on her face. There's a giant stitch running down the middle of her face and neck, ya?"

"There's a new girl?" Tidus asks, "How old is she?"

"Too old for you! And too tall!"

I start walking towards the center of the island. Sora follows me. When he catches up, he looks up at me, some water still dripping down his face. I'm amazed at how much water his hair can hold. We walk in silence until we reach Center Mall.

At the fountain, I see a flash of dark, tarnished silver that…..is hair! Stopping, I look at the hair's owner. It's a girl of about 16, with a pair of those doll ears you see all the Chobits characters wearing, and……stitches? There is a giant stitch running down the middle of her face, like Wakka said, and where her shoulders meet the rest of her body there are stitches. Pretty much where there is a junction of a limb to the torso, there was a line of stitches. Her skin was darkly tanned. She wore islander clothes, but you could tell that she was only trying to fit in. Didn't really work to well. The stitches really set her apart.

She turns around, "Hello," she says to Sora and I, but mainly Sora, "You must be Sora Malaya."

Sora looks at me, "Yeah, I am….. How do you know me?"

"I was sent to look for you. My home country needs your help."

Through all of this, I had been standing at Sora's side, completely forgotten. That doesn't sit well with me. I like to be noticed!

"Excuse me," I say, "But just who are you and why do you need Sora's help?"

"I'm Simiya, and, as I said before, my country needs Sora's help with a rebellion."

"Okay. You just kinda didn't say anything about the rebellion part," I said, feeling a little stupid. Sora sniggered. I elbowed him in the ribs.

"Sora, I must ask you if you can come to my country. I will fill you in on all the details on the barge. It's only a four day trip on the northwest current! But please, if you don't come, my trip here will be for nothing and my country will fall at the hands of traitors!" Simiya sounded so desperate. She gave a shy slow smile. It was beautiful. All her teeth were white and shining, and it lit up her face. But still. I could never allow Sora into danger. After all, when we were younger, I'd promised him that I would always keep him out of trouble.

"Sora," I said, "I don't think you should go." Sora looked up at me, confused. "All I'm saying is that I think that this may be a bad idea. We only met Simiya today." Sora looked slightly convinced.

"Please!" said Simiya, pleading. A look of determination crossed Sora's face.

"Riku, I'm going. Can't you see that she desperately needs my help?" Sora said, "C'mon, Simiya, where's your barge?"

I looked at them as they walked away, my heart breaking.

Sora

The current carried the barge out into the open sea. It was a very smooth ride. On the fourth day, Sora spotted land, just like Simiya said he would.

When Sora got there, he was amazed. After the ride over the clear, pale water of the bay, the land was beautiful. Weeping willows covered in blossoms grew on the banks, some branches floating on the water. The sky was a pale blue. Everything was in pastel colors, and it was perfect.

"Welcome to Aileaya," said Simiya. She had just come from changing in the cabin. She was dressed in a pure white, flowing outfit. Loose pants and a white tee shirt top were partially hidden by a short shoulder cloak. She gave some to Sora. "Go change."

When Sora came out, he stood at the railing. "it's so perfect," he exclaimed, "Why do you need me?"

"As I said on the Destiny Islands, we have a rebellion growing. Non-Conformists threaten our society. We need you to stop them!"

The barge rocked lightly as it docked. When Sora stepped onto grass, he was amazed at its softness. It was all so…perfect. And yet, he missed the bright bold colors of Destiny Islands. He missed Selphie, Wakka, Tidus, Kairi, and most of all he missed Riku.

Simiya touched his shoulder lightly. "Don't be homesick. Soon Aileaya will give you all need."
