A/N: Sorry! I am now updating see!

" Come on Riku! We have to go get Sora!" Kairi said frustrated. She waved a hand in front of his face trying to get him to realize she was there. It was no use. Kairi huffed and turned around quickly.

She crossed her arms and she clicked her heel against the pavement. " It's no use!"

" Please Daddy!" Hikaru pleaded with his father. He stomped the ground near his father's feet trying to make him realize their existence. But again, it was no use. Riku was far too gone.

But what was going on?

Riku gasped an intake of breath, and jerked his head. He started to breathe harder and deeper. His deep green eyes began to shine again, and the reflection of a worried boy and annoyed girl appeared.

" W-What? What Happened?" Riku said taking a hand to his head.

Kairi turned her hand so fast it gave her a slight headache. A smile appeared on her face and she looked amazed. Her arms unlocked form each other and she looked in amazement. " Riku!"

Riku looked at her, his features were twisted in confusion, " What happened?"

" You just kind of blanked out!" Kairi said bluntly walking slowly up to the now conscious Riku.

" I see…" Riku still didn't understand, but he didn't want to worry his friend any longer.

" Oh Daddy! You're awake!" Hikaru giggled happily.

Riku looked at him with half-lidded eyes, and he gave a lazy smile, " Yup."

" You were mumbling something! What was it?" Kairi asked leaning over Riku.

" S-Sora! I bought us only enough time to get there! Hurry!" Riku sprinted off first. His legs were carrying him as fast as they could possibly go. He closed his eyes with each breath and tried contacting Sora through his heart, once more.

Please! SORA!

" Please," Sora sobbed. She ran trying to go every way, and ever room she could go. Finally she ran into her room, and closed the door behind her.

She pressed a button near the knob and locked it. The voice wouldn't be able to find her here? Would it?

Please listen to me!

" No!" Sora screamed covering her ears, but it was no use. She collapsed on her bed and curled herself into a fetal position. She sobbed waited…she didn't what she was waiting for, but she was.

Sora? What would you accomplish by doing this?

" I'd make everyone's life better! You aren't stopping me from doing this!" she screamed. She curled up even tighter into a ball.

You'd make my life miserable…I probably wouldn't be able to live. You would kill me too.

Sora stopped crying, and her eyes widened, " Y-You're just saying that!" She tried convincing herself of the truth she created in her own head. Such stubborn words, could they really be false? Could they really be lies?

I'm not, Sora…

" But why? WHY?" Sora screamed again. Insanity started slowly seeping into her mind like whispering shadows. " Why would you care so much about me?" Her words were nothing but whispers now.

Because…you are the perfect person…the one for me…

" I don't even know you…" Sora said quietly shutting her tired blue eyes. She uncurled herself, and made a feeble attempt to get up, but she fell back onto the cushioned sheets. She swam in the navy blue sheets searching for a comfortable position. " I don't know you."

Yes you do…you have to try.

Silver silken hair flashed in her mind suddenly. Sora groaned trying to escape the image, trying not to remember. Memories were just rivers of pain.

Try and I can save you!

Deep pools of green flashed in her mind again. She couldn't stop the flow of memories that entered her mind, and seized all thoughts of ending her life.

Memories of laughter, and of…fun. Of journey's and tiny smiles that were shared between only her and the mysterious person that haunted her mind.

Something stirred in heart, and it began to grow. It was a growing heat that made it pound harder, and made her forget. Her memories of the awful childhood she had, were slipping like sand through her fingers. It felt so …nice.

Do you remember now?

" I ..I do."

" I'm glad," a voice breathed at the door. Sora's head slowly peeled itself away from the comforting embrace of the sheets. She looked with exhausted pools of ocean.

" Riku," her voice cracked in barely a whisper.

" Sora…" Riku smiled and his eyes were drowning in tears of joy.

Sora smiled.

Riku's happiness came in a deep flood, and crashed all over his body. It engulfed his mind and gripped his heart. With a final leap, Riku was on above Sora's body.

He held her as tight as he could, afraid that she would slip and fall into the abyss of her loneliness, once again. He never wanted that to happen ever again. He would protect her from now on.

" I think I understand now." Hikaru said simply, and almost to himself. His eyes sparkled and his lips were formed into a smile. " Daddy's always on top of Mommy…so he can protect her."

' I guess I'm older now…'
