Chapter Eight

"I told you it was a code." Goofy said happily as they marched down the main hall and towards a dark staircase.

"Aw, phooey." was all Donald could think to say.

The two began to decend the stairs until they came to a heavily bolted door. Donald began to open the heavy door and pull it back with all his strength.

"Riku!" Sora said in excitement. He quickly ran to his friend, they clasped hands and began to hop around in a circle laughing.

"Sora! I thought you were being tortured!" Riku said sounding some what relieved, but feeling quite dizzy from their twirling.

"Eh..." Minako said halting the boys and bringing them back to reality.

"Ah...Eh hem." Rikucleared his throat putting on his bad guy face again as Sora put his hand behind his head and began to laugh.

"So this is your friend who is evil?" Rei said narrowing her eyes at him. She sensed a different aura from Riku than she did from Sora, it was amazing they were friends.

"Evil? Sora what kind of stories have you been telling now?" Riku said looking sternly at his friend.

"Did I forget to mention that he is good now?" Sora said. Everyone in the room sweat dropped. Sora laughed nervously, "My bad guys!"

"Well, since Sora is staying with me I don't really mind one more person." Makoto said blushing as she led him into her apartment.

"Sora, I don't know why you want to stay behind here for a few more days, It's obvious the Heartless are after you. The sooner you leave the sooner they leave too." Riku tried to reason.

"I don't know. I need to go for a walk, get some fresh air." Sora said putting a hand to his confused head.

"Ok, I will go with you." Riku said patting his friend on the back.

"No I need some time to think to myself." Sora said. And who ever else is in there. Sora added to himself.

"Will you be ok?" Riku asked worriedly.

"I have fought off legions of Heartless and Oranization XIII, I think I can handle a walk." Sora said smirking.

"She's starting to wake up."

"Please, put her back to sleep, she shouldn't be awake for this."

"It's so odd to see her from the outside."

"You better get used to seeing things that way."

Cut Scene

"Roxas, can you hear me?" Sora concentrated really hard focusing inside of himself.

Nothing.

"This is hopeless." Sora said throwing his arms up and plopping down on a park bench. He looked out at the bay where Usagi had saved his life. He sighed heavily now feeling uncomfortable with the fact Roxas resided within himself. He had never felt so akward about it before, why start now.

"You called?"

"Who said that!" Sora said jumping up and turning in all directions.

"Come on Sora, you can't even recognize my voice?"

"Roxas?"

"Yea, I was taking a nap, so would you please tell me what was so important? Remember, I know what you are thinking."

Sora laughed at this, and leaned back on the bench relaxing more. "I don't know why I didn't try this sooner."

"Well, you couldn't."

"What do you mean?"

"This is all new to me also. I tried many times contacting you, but this is the first time I know of where it works."

"How could that be?"

"Like I know Sora! It probably has something to do with me almost being freed from you."

"Freed?"

"That's what it felt like. I couldn't remember feeling so free, not even when I was."

"Do you want to be free Roxas."

"Would you enjoy being trapped in someone elses body?"

"Hmm, If he was a cool guy like me, sure!"

"Riiight..well."

"Ok Roxas, I will find out how to free you! You just wait!"

"All I have is time buddy."

Cut Scene

Riku threw off his cloak leaving him in his tank top, pants and shoes. Makoto could see his muscles moving and tensing while he folded his cloak and placed it on the couch.

"I don't care what Sora says, I'm sleeping on the couch and he gets the floor." Riku said to Makoto moving hair out of his face. "I'm sorry, I never got your name."

"Mmamamktum..." Makoto mumbled.

Riku laughed, "I'm sorry, what?"

"Makoto."

"Oh, well, Makoto-san, I can properly thank you for your hospitality to my worthless friend and I." Riku said grinning.

"Oh really it was nothing. Sora is a good guy! And really helpful in the kitchen." Makoto replied twisting her skirt in her hands and keeping her eyes down.

"Sora cook! Isn't that like letting Goofy drive the Gummi ship?" Riku laughed.

"Who is Goofy." Makoto asked daring to bring her eyes up for a moment.

"Oh, he is just a friend of ours back home. He is a little, well goofy." Riku said realizing the confusion that he was creating with this poor girl.

"Well, um, tell me about yourself." Riku ventured. At this he noticed how much she blushed, her cheeks burned bright and her emerald eyes kept pointed down.

"Um, I like to cook, I um, I like martial arts, and um, I'm good with plants...and I er, guess that's it." Makoto said in a jumble of words and noises.

"I am sorry Makoto-san, but I get the impression that I make you uncomfortable." Riku traced cirlces on the table they were sitting at in the living room.

"No, really, why would you think that?" Makoto said trying to control the fire in her face.

"Well, every time I talk to you, you blush. That means thateither you are uncomfortable with me, or you like me." Riku said giving her an ear to ear grin.

Makoto bust out in uncontrolable giggles as she gave up on keeping her face a certain color. Riku reached over and took her hand. "Do you mind if I tell you something Makoto-san?" Riku asked willing her to look at him.

"No, not at all." Makoto said. Any more of this and she would burst into flames. Well, at least Rei would be impressed with that, oh! what was she thinking, an extemely hunky guy was about to tell her something very very important.

"I'm so hungry that if I don't eat, I think I will die."and as proof of this Riku's stomach gave a loud rumble of agreeance.

All Makoto could do was fall over, a big sweat drop hoving over her fallen head.

End Chapter Eight

Oooh! I hate this chapter,I hate it I hate it I hate it! I'm so sorry that this wasn't up to par with the rest of them. But writers block and the need to get some things done and moving in the story demanded thischapter to be abit...off.

Also, I am apologizing now to all Sailor Moon fans who read this, It was not my intention to leave thesenshi out of this chapter as much as I did, but to my credit I did drag Mamoru in! So you cant hate me too much!

Well, if you don't hate me for this poopy chapter, review review review, I will take your silence as a silent cry of out rage. Sigh, I compeletly understand.
