Hello everybody..I hope you like this chapter. Remember to review please

Sora and Riku walked back to the castle with full stomachs. Sora was overwhelmed at all the different types of food. He had to try it all. Riku just stood on the sidelines while Sora stuffed his face. Riku wasn't too hungry so he just took small amounts of food. When the two finally arrived back at the castle, Donald looked angry at them and they knew they were going to get it. "It took you long enough! The castle could've been burned down and you'd still be eating!"

Sora didn't say a word, he just grinned,"Oh Donald, you worry too much."

"Well sorry. I mean the castle could be attacked any second and you guys weren't here. The hero's of the story."

"Hey hey, calm down Donald. Don't get your feathers all ruffled."Riku said calmly.

Donald glared at the two boys and walked back towards the Throne room.

The sun was still high in the sky when Sora and Riku decided to go explore. They left the the marketplace and set out across the meadow. The flowers still had an overwhelming smell and Sora just feel back into the bed of flowers. Riku shot him a questioning look, but didn't have any time to think of anything to say because he felt Sora pull him down. The grass was a bit itchy against his skin, but it was soft too. Sora grabbed onto Riku's hand and laced his fingers with Riku's. Sora looked over at Riku and gave him a soft smile. This had been the first time they had spent some time just with eachother. Riku really liked being around Sora. It was like Sora was his better half, the lightest side to Riku. He moved over onto his side and kissed Sora's soft,pale cheek. Sora grabbed Riku's face and pulled it to his. He lifted his head a bit and captured Riku's lips in a short, but loving kiss. Riku's lips felt lonely when Sora had pulled away. He wanted to feel the softness of Sora's lips to his again. Riku bent his head down and kissed Sora, this time filled with passion. This kiss left Sora's body aching for more than just the touch of lips. He knew that he shouldn't rush anything or he could ruin what they have now. Riku turned back on his back and just looked up at the bright blue sky. The sun's brightness had faded a bit and it would set in about an hours time. A wamr summer breeze passed over the meadow and made the tall grass sway back and forth. Riku had a bad feeling that something was coming. He didn't know what it was, but it couldn't be good. He looked over at his partner and noticed that he fell asleep. Riku reached out his hand and shook the boy. "Sora wake up! I think something is coming."

"Stop it Kairi. I don't want to be woken up yet."Sora mumbled.

Riku knew what he had heard. He was dreaming about Kairi. He thought the boy next to Sora was Kairi. How could this happen? 'I thought he was done with her.' That thought continued the run through his mind.

A moment later, an unknown showed up and was waiting for Riku to strike. He didn't know if he should go after it and leave the sleeping Sora alone. But if that thing made its way to the castle all hell would break loose. Riku opened up his right hand and his blade appeared. He charged at the unknown and killed it with one easy cut of his blade. He knew that was too easy, there had to be more around. When he turned around, a group of them were hovering over Sora. "Get away from him!" Riku yelled and ran toward the group. The unknowns turned around and bent down in a fighting stance. They jumped in the air and tackled Riku to the ground. Their grip on him was tight and they wouldn't be letting go soon. Sora decided to stir at that moment. When his senses became clear, he spotted Riku being attacked by unknowns. He stood up tall and his keyblade came to him. Sora yelled and ran towards them. He slashed them to pieces, but when he was finished, Riku was no where in sight. "Riku! Where are you?" Sora called up to the sky. Sora looked around the meadow frantically. He knew Riku wouldn't go off and leave him by himself. He ran around the field until he couldn't run anymore. He fell to his knees and sobbed. "Riku..we're supposed to fight together and save the worlds. How could you leave me now? Well damn you!" Sora threw up his arms and began walking back toward the castle. He couldn't understand why Riku left or where he went. He was pissed with Riku for leaving. When he reached the castle, he saw Goofy and Donald standing in the hall. "Hello...Sora? Where's Riku?" Goofy asked.

"I don't know and I don't care." Sora grumbled and walked towards the room he would be staying in tonight.

He opened the door and slammed it shut. He layed back on the soft bed in the room. He folded his hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling. He just couldn't get his mind around why he'd leave. He just shook his head and dozed off to sleep.

'Where...am I? How did I get here? Where's Sora?' Riku continued to think when he woke up in a new place. He couldn't remember how he got here. All he remembered was getting tackled by the unknowns and hearing Sora come to the rescue. He wasn't able to see Sora before he was sucked to this place. The force of it all had knocked him unconscious. When he finally woke, he was in a strange bed with black sheets. Riku tried to get out of the bed, but shackles kept him from moving. "Where am I?" He yelled to an empty room, but he found that it wasn't too empty. A voice called from the shadows,"You're in my castle. You're where the unknowns thrive and where they are the strongest of all. You're in my world now. There's no Sora to save you now." He laughed fiercely and walked out of the shadows."We never were properly aquainted. I am Alexi, the creator of my lovely beasts." He stepped foreward and reached out his hand to Riku's face. Riku spit at his hand and turned his head away.

"Feisty aren't you?" Alexi grinned.

"Leave me alone!" Riku yelled and tried to move, but he remembered the restraints on his arms and legs.

"Foolish boy. If I didn't want you to stay, I wouldn't have locked you up. Now lets get down to business." Alexi smirked and crawled onto the bed.
