A/N:
XCX: Waaaaaaahooooooooooo! Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes! XD -dances-
Jin: What now?
XCX: Well! I just got back from my trip to Dallas, TX and we did really, really, really, reeeeeally well in concert! -pumps fist in the air- We sang a couple of songs and the girl's got a better grade then when the guys came on stage with us, but my choir teachers was crying while we rehearsed and said that in all her years of conducting, this had been the best yet!
Jin: She could have just been- mph!
Zil, Tsukasa, Rei, Riku, Sora, and Kairi: -jumps on top of Jin- SHUT. UP!
XCX: Either way, even I don't get too teary too often, it was such an awesome concert! I even took pictures of the auditorium! And besides that-!
Jin: Jeez... there's more- mph!
Zil, Tsukasa, Rei, Riku, Sora, and Kairi: SHUT IT!
XCX: I met some new friends! I seriously doubted that I'd EVER meet some yaoi fans where I live, but these 4 proved me wrong! They love Riku and Sora pairings as well! XD I even got to borrow a KH CD!
Tsukasa: I'm glad you had such a wonderful time! .
XCX: I know! Oh! And we went to a reeeeally big-ass mall! I bought "DNAngel" volumes 2 and 3 and bought the book: "Only the ring finger knows". It's a really good yaoi book! I suggest you read it! The art is nice too! I don't mind Gravitation and I think it's funny and all, but I'm just not a fav. on the art, though mine isn't even half as good. .;
Anyways, don't wanna keep you waiting, but I also have a surprise since I'm in a such a good mood!
Jin: You'll get these idiots off me?
XCX: Nope! THERE WILL BE A RIKU AND SORA LEMON IN THIS CHAPTER!
Sora: Say, huh?
Riku: Yeeeeeeesssssss!
XCX: It'll be posted on my Adultfanfiction account though. Just to warn you. I don't wanna get kicked off of FF. net. I've wanted to do a Sora and Riku lemon for this story for sooooooooooo long… heehee…
Jin: Damn you…
XCX: P.S. GIFTS SUCH AS PLUSHIES ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Disclaimer: Yes... I don't own Kingdom Hearts, nor Final Fantasy... I am not the owner... I AM, however; the cause of the angst in this fic and the mental case Jin, along with Riku's jealously, and Sora's nutty behavior (Jin, Riku, Sora: HEY!). MWAHAHA! And I do it again, too! XD (Jin, Riku, and Sora: ... )
Chapter 13
He could feel the cold metal beneath his hands as he landed rather harshly on the ground, his blue eyes wide and staring.
"Sora!"
The small brunet's head snapped up instantly, his eyes wide, like a cornered animal, as the Riku ran up and hugged him tightly, a hold that told Sora that Riku did not intend to let go.
"Pitiful."
Almost.
Riku was already on the defensive, pushing Sora behind him, the Keyblade drawn in front of him and poised to strike the silver-haired man before him.
"You escaped Oblivion, my pet?" Sora's azure eyes widened and he shivered, shrinking behind Riku and hoping to look smaller.
Riku paused.
He had never seen Sora so scared. The only time had been in Traverse Town, but now... now, the boy was absolutely terrified.
"Leave them alone."
Riku watched as a small faint light glowed in front of Ansem, flashing in a barely menacing way.
Ansem sneered, "And it is you who will stop me, princess?"
The light grew, trying to look bigger, and slowly, it started to take shape.
She was fading in and out, her arms thrust out to block Ansem's path from the two boys, her violet eyes gleaming with determination.
"Exactly." Kairi scowled, her poise never faltering as she continued to glare at the insane man. "Guys," She looked over her shoulder, her arms still outstretched. "Get out of here."
Riku shook his head, and stepped forward. "I won't leave you Kairi I can't do tha-"
Kairi shot him a stern look and cast her eyes to Sora, who was shivering, his eyes glazed with tears yet to fall.
"Go..." She spoke softly, then gave a teasing smile. "Oh, and by the way, we're through Riku."
Riku's eyes doubled in size.
How could she think of something like this when so much was on the line?
Wait... did that mean-
"Kairi, I can't-"
"Get a move on!" Kairi's tone became hard, and she reached out, putting a hand on his chest and giving it a strong shove, surprising for her small frame and skinny arms.
Riku flew back, the Keyblade disappearing as he barreled into Sora, twisting around so, that when they landed off the podium, he landed beneath the smaller boy.
"Riku! Kairi!" Sora tried to help Riku up, but then remembered the small auburn-haired girl still standing in front of Ansem.
"If Riku dies Sora, I'll never forgive you!" Was all her heard from the top before a blinding light shone, causing him to instinctively cover his eyes.
Sora turned back around at the sound of Riku getting up, the two animals that had once been forgotten, allowing him to lean on them.
The ground beneath them began to shake, much like it had done in the Darkness, and Sora rushed forward, helping in dragging Riku out of the room.
"This way!"
Five women and a girl stood beneath the archway, motioning them toward it hurriedly.
OoOoOoOoOoO"All we can do now... is hold back his power."
"What about Kairi?"
"She's holding him back the best she can, but she can't hold him forever."
"He will probably overwhelm her with darkness and press toward Kingdom Hearts."
Riku groaned, shifting and causing his back to rub against cold stone.
"Riku?"
He could hear footsteps quickly coming toward him, and then he could feel a warm body next to his, crouching down in front of him.
Sora?
One green eye opened, still clouded with sleep, to gaze into a set of deep ocean blue ones, wide with worry.
"Riku, are you okay?"
Riku didn't respond, at least, not verbally.
His strong muscular arms quickly snaked around Sora's neck pulling the smaller one close to his body -that had been propped up against a wall thanks to Donald and Goofy- and held the boy close, attaching his lips to Sora's in one fluid motion.
Sora gasped, but didn't try to pull away. Mostly, because if he did, the arms stationed on either side of Riku's hips were the only thing holding him up, and he would land on Riku's knee, chest first; knocking the wind out of his body.
The kiss; however, had him distracted enough as it was.
It was more like he was being eaten by the silver-haired teen rather than the kiss it was supposed to be.
Riku nibbled on Sora's bottom lip, running his teeth along the bottom and moving away to plant chaste kissed on Sora's chin and cheeks, holding him close all the while.
"Riku..." Sora was unaware of the stared he was receiving from the other occupants of the room, the only thing he could think about was Riku-Riku-Riku.
"Mm… Sora…"
The little brunet had started to kiss back, allowing Riku's searching tongue to explore his mouth, while sliding his own past Riku's and into his own mouth.
"Ahem?"
The two broke apart suddenly; Sora's cheeks stained a flattering color of pink while Riku looked away and at the nearby wall.
"Ahem… um… right. So… I guess we should head to Traverse Town?" Riku said, still dazed by the kiss.
OoOoOoOoOoOThe trip back to Traverse Town was silent and no words were exchanged between Sora or Riku, while the animals piloted the ship to their destination.
Sora sat on one of the guest beds, in one of the large gummi ship rooms, staring out the window at the disappearing world of Hollow Bastion.
Leaving behind Kairi and Jin.
'No… there was no Jin… only Ansem.' Sora thought bitterly, worrying his bottom lip. He couldn't help but feel… sad, though. All this time, he had been in love with another piece of Ansem, and this whole time, Riku had loved him…
He shook his head, hoping to clear away the image of Jin's sorrow-filled eyes as he died, and Kairi determined hope to keep Ansem back. How long would she last against him?
But, why should he care?
She was the one who first caused this by going out with Riku. And it was her who Riku went back for first…
"Knock, knock?"
Sora didn't need to look away from the starry expanse before him to know who was behind him, he just wished he could be left alone.
"Hey Jiminy." Sora said dully, watching meteors and random pieces of gummi float by the window.
"What's wrong, kiddo?" Jiminy said, bounding over and settling himself on Sora's sock –he had discarded his shoes when he had entered the room.
Why was it, that when you wished to be alone, people could always find you can ask that particular question?
"Nothing. Just… tired." He said, giving a fake sigh to estimate his point.
"I know that look, and I doubt it's 'nothing'." The cricket said sternly.
May as well face the inevitable, right?
"Okay… I'm just… Hell, I don't know. I feel stupid. I mean: I fell for everything Ansem told me; I turned against Riku… I feel like such an idiot." Sora said, bringing his knees up to his chest and burring his head in his arms.
Because of the brusque movement, Jiminy fumbled, trying to regain his footing before comforting the distressed teen.
"Well… from what I've seen, Riku cares for you deeply."
"I know that much thanks." Came Sora's muffled reply.
"Not just that." Jiminy persisted, pulling his journal out and flipping to a couple of pages. "Let's see… page… 45." He said absently, hopping off the bed and moving toward a larger red book on the table near the door.
Sora's, curious, followed, watching the cricket turn the pages of the book till reaching the destined page.
"Aha!" Jiminy exclaimed, finally it. "Go on. Take a look." He said, motioning toward Sora to look. "I keep minimal records in my smaller book and then transfer them into this larger one."
Sora nodded, sitting down in the small wooden chair and looking at the page, where a small photo (from God knows where) was clipped to a page full of a bio just for him.
"'A boy from the same islands as Riku, he disappeared the knight the Heartless struck.'" Sora read, his eyes scanning the words carefully. " 'He first appeared with a Heartless known as Jin in Traverse Town, Riku and the others began their search for him, following any lead they had while locking the Keyholes. It is obvious that Riku holds high affection for Sora…'"
He turned the page.
"'When Riku confronted Sora in Hollow Bastion, Sora said that there was more than one Keyblade master. Donald and Goofy, in order to follow His Majesty's wishes, followed Sora.'" Sora could feel his throat go dry. "'After meeting with Sora again, Riku reclaimed the Keyblade when Sora obviously chose Darkness over light. In the middle of the fray…'" Sora swallowed hard, his voice faltering. " 'Jin threw him-himself in front of Sora, taking a critical blow from Riku… in-instead of S-Sora…' Oh god… "
Sora sunk to his knees, the book clutched to his body closely, sobbing silently, tears running down his cheeks.
'It was Ansem the whole time… I shouldn't be crying…'"Sora?"
Sora needs to look up.
He just continued to sob, letting Riku hold him.
'Then why do I feel so sad?'
OoOoOoOoOoOCid greeted them when they arrived in Traverse Town, the blond-haired pilot wanting a quick word with Riku. The silver-haired Keyblade master cast a quick look at Sora, but a nod from Leon told him that the older man would watch over Sora.
Leon led him a small house, and let him sit on a small dusty bed in the corner, moving to the opposite side of the room and relaxing against the wall.
Sora watched Leon, waiting for his breathing to even out before he silently slipped off the bed and toward the door.
He was just reaching out for the door handle-
"I don't think Riku would like it if you left now."
He was still awake…
'Damn.'
Shooting the Gunblade soldier and dry look, Sora sat back down on the bed, contemplating how he was to leave. He didn't want to run away like he had so many other times… no, this time he just wanted to get out and think.
'I wonder…'
Closing his eyes, Sora concentrated on bringing out what darkness left.
"Squall!"
'Bingo.'
Sora watched as Leon's muscular frame snapped to attention, all of it directed toward the door from where the voice had come from.
The raven-haired ninja burst through the door, her small knives at ready. "Squall! Heartless!"
Leon's ice-blue eyes snapped to Sora's ocean-blue ones, seeming to search for any sign of… of what?
His eyes darted away, and the older man was out the door before Sora could blink.
Sora waited for a minute before he sat up, checking out the window and finally slipping out the door.
Calling up a few small Shadows -hoping this would distract anyone in the surrounding are- Sora scaled the building quickly, climbing onto the rooftops.
He hid in the shadows when necessary, watching the people of Traverse Town run from such small Heartless and watching Leon and Yuffie run here and there, dealing with whatever Heartless the were presented with.
When he made it to the Second District, he found he could relax on top of the Gizmo Shop, sitting on a large wooden crate.
Drawing his knees up to his chest, Sora let his head fall back.
"Jin…"
OoOoOoOoOoO"They gave me this gummi piece. Said it'll help reach the world where we can find Ansem." Riku explained, dropping a navi gummi piece into Cid's palm that the princesses had given him.
"Hm…" Cid inspected the piece, holding it up to the poor lighting in the First District before handing it back to Riku. "I can install it for ya… but it'll take a few days, and installing ain't cheap kid."
"We need to get to Kairi as soon as possible." Riku folded his arms. Couldn't Cid hurry it up? He needed to check on Sora…
"Riku!"
'What now?'
Yuffie ran up quickly, shurikens ready.
"Heartless!" She gasped, "They came outta nowhere and started attacking. We went back to get Sora, but he was gone."
The color drained from Riku's already pale face.
Instantly he dashed toward the Second District, his mind on the first place where he had seen Sora after the incident on Destiny Islands.
OoOoOoOoOoO"Hey?"
Sora looked away from the pictures of bells on top of the bell tower, slowly turning to face Riku.
"Hey…" Sora shrugged. He had abandoned his earlier position, for a much more comfortable one. With his right leg swung out to the side and on knee drawn up, his arm resting casually on it, Sora had sat there on top of the tower, lost in his thoughts.
'His eyes… they're so dull…' Riku mused, walking over and sitting beside the smaller teen on the edge of the crate.
"Why, Sora?"
"Why, what?"
"Why do you do this? We worked so hard to find you, but you keep running away." Riku snapped, not even daring to look at Sora.
Sora knew he was walking on thin ice, already. "Because… you have Kairi… and I have-"
Sora didn't finish; however. His shoulder slumped and he turned his head away, watching the neon shop of the hotels glow. The yellow glow reminded him of Ansem's glowering amber eyes. So much, that he tore his gaze away; settling with staring at the stars instead.
They lapsed into another uncomfortable silence, and both knew the other wanted to say something, but none felt the need to break the silent whisper of the glowing town.
'I want to say I'm sorry…'
'I've caused him so much pain…'
'I hurt him and Kairi.'
'I killed Jin.'
"I'm sorry." They said together, still unwilling to meet the other's gaze.
They both blinked.
Slowly, Sora and Riku turned away, their eyes meeting.
'His eyes… they're so… beautiful.' Riku thought, unconsciously getting closer.
'I never noticed… how soft his eyes look.' Sora stared, his mouth slightly agape.
They said nothing, but it was as if they had both confessed their love.
Sora's lips were captured in Riku's, as the older boy was instantly upon him, holding him close like he was about to disappear, Sora clutching to him tightly like Riku was a lifeline.
Riku ran his slender tongue along Sora's lips, lapping at them, and Sora obliged, opening his mouth as wide as he could and plunging his tongue into Riku's while the elder explored Sora's.
There had been those kisses in Halloween Town, but now, this kiss, was so much sweeter. It didn't sting with such bitter feelings.
"Sora… I love you. I love you, I love you so much…" Riku whispered, shifting his arms around Sora's waist and holding him closer.
"I love you too Riku." Sora whispered back, breaking away slowly. "I've always wanted to tell you… but you and Kairi… and you pushed me away…" Tears welled up in Sora's eyes and stung his nose. Riku noticed he started to pull away and grabbed his face, kissing him on the lips softly.
"Shh… Sora… It's okay." Riku comforted, showering the boy's face in kisses. "I love you too… I was just too much of an idiot to notice it." Riku said, stroking Sora's face lovingly.
Sora looked him in the eye and this bowed his head, pressing his face into Riku's chest.
"Tonight." Sora's voice was muffled by Riku's yellow shirt.
"Huh?"
"Tonight… will you? Will you take me?" Riku blinked and then stared down at Sora. "Please?"
How many times had he fantasized about Sora since that night on Destiny Islands?
How many times had he dreamt about Sora writhing in pleasure beneath him?
How many times had he wanted to pound into the little brunet, causing him to cry out his name sinfully?
"Yes…"
OoOoOoOoOoO
Okees… those of you reading this on please direct yourselves to my Adultfanfiction profile link that can be found in my profile!
Before sleep claimed him, Sora leaned up and kissed Riku leisurely, the darkness slowly fading along with his love for Jin…

Zil: Would. You. Shut. UP?
XCX: Anyways… I'd like to thank Ryoko Takumarai for mentioning this. I truly didn't know my story had reached 138 pages. (I always write in size 8 in Verdana and unless I print something, it's in 6 to save on paper) Thanks!
Read on and live the thrill of life. X3
I'm gonna go brainwash myself by watching some funny trailers. The links can be found in my profile.
