"Let's go inside."

Sora said. Riku nodded. Sora smiled and cocked his head to the side.

"Aren't you forgetting something?"

Riku frowned

"You're homework."

Riku slapped his forehead, and ran back to his house yelling over his shoulder.

"I'll be right back."

"Okay I'll wait for you in my room."

In Sora's room Riku laid on floor on his stomach, with a book and piece of paper in front of him. He was propping himself up with his left arm folded under his chest, while using his right hand to write. Sora laid in much the same fashion, with his left arm folded under him writing with his other hand, just a few inches across from Riku. Close enough that when they both leaned down to read or write, their hair would touch the others forehead, tickling them a little. Riku was absentmindedly flipping through pages when he spoke, looking down at his book

"So what did you think of tryouts?"

Sora looked up from his homework and smiled. He knew Riku didn't want to know what he thought of practice in general. He wanted to know how Sora thought he had played, but he would never ask him that directly. Good thing Sora, had learn to read Riku quite well. So with out further thought he answered Riku.

"You looked great!"

Sora turned his head to the side pretending to look for something. The fact was he was trying to hide, from Riku, the blush that had crept onto his cheeks. As his own words brought back memories of the dream he had, had that morning.

Riku heard Sora's answered and looked up from his book at his friend, but Sora's head was turned he seemed to be searching the floor for something. Riku shook his head mentally, telling himself not to read too much into what Sora had just said. Riku knew Sora had not meant that the way he hoped he did. That kind of thinking was wishful thinking and a complete waste of time.

Feeling his blush under control, Sora made a grab for a pencil using it as the excuse to have his face turned. Having retrieved the pencil he turned back to Riku.

"I mean you guys looked awesome out there. Looks like you've got a pretty strong team this year."

Sora smiled sheepishly, lowering his head.

"But then again what do I know about so.. err.. futbol."

He had been about to say soccer, but remembered the countless times, when Riku had told him over and over it was not called soccer it was futbol. To him it really didn't matter but to tell Riku that would mean an hour lecture on the history of the sport. Besides it was important to Riku there for he made an effort to remember.

"What do you mean by that? You know as much about futbol as I do."

Sora rolled his eyes. He knew Riku was only being nice.

"Riku you know as well as anyone else, that knowing the rules is very different from actually being able to play the game."

Riku's eyes lit up and he smile triumphantly at his friend.

"Ah-ha so you admit it. So now you must understand, that its just like knowing how to read doesn't mean you can actually act."

Riku said referring to all the times, Sora had asked him to help him read lines for a play. Needless to say Riku wasn't much help, he was a terrible actor and Sora could never understand why. He thought if a person could feel and read an emotion they could act.Thus was not the case with Riku, whowas still smiling at Sora, happy he had finally gotten across to Sora why he was a bad actor.

Sora seemed a little confused and blinked a couple of times, before the words really sank in. It was true now that he thoughtabout it that way. Just because acting came naturally to him it didn't mean it would for other people as well. He grinned scratching the back of his head looking guilty at Riku.

"I guess you're right."

"And speaking of acting are you going to audition for any of the school plays this year?"

Sora frowned in concentration, his chin now resting on the palms of his hands, his feet swingingslowly up in the air. He seemed to be considering the choices, he sighed and looked across at Riku.

"I'm not sure."

Riku raised a questioning brow. Sora had been in every school play since they were in third grade, and to have him suddenly decide, he wasn't sure he wanted to participate in a play, was very odd. Before Riku could question him Sora continued.

"I mean you know how they always give the seniors almost complete control of the plays and the first play of the year they let one of the seniors direct the play."

"Yeah and?"

"Well this year Squall is directing the first play."

Sora said with wrinkling his nose. Squall? Riku had heard of him who hadn't, not only from Sora but from other kids as well. Even though he was in the same class as Squall their paths had never crossed being interested in completely different things. From Sora though he had, the impression that he was a very good actor, from other people though Squall was very antisocial to put it lightly.

"And well he's good at acting, but damn can he be an asshole and with out really trying. I seriously don't know how he can act so well when he won't even speak more than two words to anyone. And when he does he only says 'whatever'"

Sora finished a little out of breath. Riku smiled seeing Sora all pissed at some guy for being an ass.

"Well so do you think he won't do a good job, considering his lack of people skills?"

"No in fact he manages just fine. It's just that I'm not sure I want to work with someone who'll make things difficult."

Riku continued smiling, it sounded like Sora was a bit envious of Squall, but didn't comment on that.

"So you're going to quit something you love doing because some asshole is going to make things a bit difficult? Sora that's so... out of characterfor you."

Riku said smugly referring to the term out of character, when Sora scolded him, explaining a character who was meant to be played depressed couldn't just up and be happy because that would be taking the character out of character or OOC as referred by Sora.

Sora either chose to ignore the reference or didn't notice. He was stumped he didn't know what to say, Riku was right. He would never give up something he loved just because things got difficult. So why was he having doubts about doing a play. Perhaps it was because he had a bit of a problem taking orders from a person who was a bit better than him at acting who had been given the lead over him last year for Macbeth. Though he wasn't about to admit that to Riku or anyone else.

"Well when you put it that way. No I'm not going to quit, but I'm still not sure. I want to see which play they choose to do this year, then I'll decide."

Riku closed his book and rolled onto his back folding his arms beneath his head.

"Well if Squall is smart he'll definitely be looking for you when they start casting for the play. "

Sora didn't worry too much, he still had about a month and a half before the seniors even decided what play they waned to perform. Sora closed his book and slid it aside, he got up on all fours and slowly began crawling over to Riku. When his hands were on either side of Riku's face he stopped looking down at him, with a very serious expression on his face.

"Riku."

He whispered, Riku's felt every muscle tense seeing Sora's face hovering just above his. He sucked in a breath when Sora lowered his face now barely three inches away from his. His mind was in turmoil. Oh God, oh God he's not going to or is he? Oh fuck what do I do. Riku thought, while keeping a complete cool expression. Sora was still staring at Riku with that serious expression.

"Riku I'm hungry."

At hearing that Riku burst out laughing relaxing again. Of course,Riku thought. Sora was way to innocent to ever approach him or anyone in such a suggestive manner, what the hell had he been thinking. Sora scowled and sat back on his shins.

"It's not funny I can't concentrate on my homework when I'm hungry."

Riku sat up with his back to Sora. He turned his head looking back at Sora and smiled.

"Only you Sora, could look so serious while saying they're hungry I mean that."

Sora shrugged.

"Whatever, must come with the acting territory. Now come on let's go see what we can find to eat."

In the kitchen Sora stood in front of the open frige, looking at all of it's contents. Riku sat on top of the black countertop a few feet from Sora's left, lightly swinging his feet back and forth. He was looking at Sora who kept shifting his gaze from one item and either frowning or making a 'yuck' sound. He watched as Sora moved his hand to reach for something but drew his hand back shaking his head in disgust wrinkling his nose. Riku had watched Sora do that for the sixth time, and as cute as Sora looked wrinkling his nose in that way, he was getting impatient.

"Sora you've been starring in there for over fifteen minutes, as if something you like is going to magically appear. Now please would you just pick something to eat already?"

Sora looked up from the frige and looked over at Riku with a guilty expression.

"But Riku everything in here is so... healthy."

"Oh God forbid."

Riku said sarcastically, before rolling his eyes, hopping down from the counter and moving to stand next to Sora.

"Move over."

Riku stood there staring inside the refrigeration, and all its contents up and down, he nodded. Sora was indeed right everything his parents kept in the frige was so healthy. They had every green or any other colored vegetable every kid hated, from lettuce to cauliflower, celery, broccoli and was that? he poked, tofu? Where was all the junk food like pop and pizza left overs and all the easy microwaveable ready-in-two-minutes-or-less meals? Riku was struck with a sudden thought he had never considered before. He turned to Sora.

"Sora are you're parents vegetarians?"

Riku only asked for Sora's parents knowing very well Sora wasn't, having seen Sora scarf down hamburgers, chicken, stake, and all types of meat countless times. Sora shook his head smiling.

"No. It's just that they're pretty busy and barely have time to go grocery shopping, I think my mom was stopping to pick up some groceries today after work or if they forget, I just order out. So right now we're all out of stock"

"Hn. Sound like my house."

Sora's smile brightened, Riku knew that smile, Sora had just thought of something, and it usually wasn't something good. Sora closed the frige door startling Riku who managed to move just before the door slammed him on the back.

"I can cook though!"

Riku raised a surprised brow. Sora moved from the frige and went to open a cabinet door, he was rummaging through things murmuring something Riku couldn't really hear.

"Cook? As in with fire and not microwaved?"

Riku asked doubtfully and frankly a little scared. Sora continued his search and answered Riku with out turning to look at him.

"Ha-ha of course with fire. Ah here!"

Sora said his head in the cabinet, taking his head out he took out a blue box, which he held triumphantly in front of Riku to see. Riku read the label on the box and looked at Sora skeptically.

"Macaroni and cheese?"

Sora turned the box to himself and made a face, shrugging.

"Well I can cook other things but this is fast and easy. You know some people think when they can cook macaroni and cheese they can cook, yeah like it's a real challenge."

Sora scoffed laughing lightly. Riku blinked getting a little nervous, seeing Sora was serious about cooking. And not without very good reasons. He laughed nervously.

"Uh, Sora? May I remind you, that you were the one who burned everything we cooked in Home-ec last year. Let's see there was the pasta, the brownies, the cakes, the chicken. Am I forgetting anything? Oh yes and the teachers desk when you ran to the sink with a burning frying pan and tripped."

Sora smiled remembering the face of his horror struck teacher as she looked helplessly at her burning desk.

"You know most people would have thought of that as an omen, but not me I thought of it as a challenge."

With a worried glance Rikuwatched Sora move to another cabinet taking out a black pot, then moving to the sink to fill the pot with water. Riku was still not convinced Sora could cook anything without burning either the food or worse case scenario the house.

"So what? One day you woke up and you suddenly learn to cook"

"Of course not. Remember when I went to visit my grandparents this summer for two weeks. Well my grandmother, I thought, was the perfect candidate to teach me to cook. Not to mention she had a house full of grandkids that summer to cook for. So I helped her with all the meals. It's really quite easy when you don't have some teacher breathing down your neck telling you, brownies are suppose to be dark brown and soft not black andhard as a rock."

Sora finished, turning the water off, moving to the stove, turning on the front burner. He placed the pot of water on top of the burner and turned to Riku.

"How come you've never told me you knew how to cook?"

Riku said feeling a little offended, because of the fact his best friend had kept something from him even if it was just a little thing. Sora shrugged missing the feeling Riku let slip.

"I don't know. I mean just 'cause I can cook doesn't mean I like to. Too much mess and cleaning. I only do it when mom doesn't have time to leave me something ready and doesn't want me to order out."

Sora frowned seeing Riku look from Sora to the pot as if waiting for it to explode or walk up and leave. Sora fought the urge to stamp his foot down in what would have been the ultimate pout. Instead he gave a frustrated grunt and stuck out his lip crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Riku I'm not going to burn the house down I promise! Don't you trust me?"

Riku looked at Sora and saw the hurt in his eyes and scolded himself mentally, for acting so stupid. Of course he trusted Sora, Sora was the only one he ever truly trusted.

"Okay. I'm Sorry, Rah. Can I help you with anything?"

Sora smiled, hearing Riku call him by the code name Riku had given him, when they used to play secret agents, when they were little. Riku had not called him by that name in a long time. Rah Riku had explained came from the last syllable in Sora's name. Therefore Sora had chosen Riku's code name to be Rie like the sound of thefirst syllable in Riku's name. He remembered how he and Riku had called each other only by their code names for over six months before they got bored with them, and only used them once in a while.

Sora nodded to Riku and together they made dinner. Riku helped Sora make a salad while the water boiled. When the water started boiling Sora emptied the macaroni in to the pot. Riku cut some cucumbers while Sora finished with the macaroni. Straining it, then taking out a frying pan. Placing the pan on the burner melting some margarine then adding the macaroni dumping the cheese pouch on top of it.

Half an hour later Sora and Riku sat on the kitchen table, instead of the formal dinning room. Both full and happy.

"That was good."

Riku said leaning back on his chair taking a drink ofthe grape juice Sora had found in the back of the frige. Sora nodded in agreement. Sora and Riku cleared the table and put all the dirty dished in the dishwasher. Sora whined.

"I really hate this part of cooking. The cleaning."

Sora said shuddering. Riku rolled his eyes. After they were done cleaning the kitchen, they headed back to Sora's room. They finished their homework and had decided to watch T.V. in Sora's room. Riku was putting his books away when a pamphlet fell from one of the books, Sora picked it up before Riku could get it. He sat on the floor waiting to see Sora's reaction.

"Weschester University?"

Sora said reading the cover of the pamphlet he held in his hands. Which featured pictures of people sitting in front of an ancient looking building laughing, studying. Other pictures showed sports, actually only one Futbol. With words in bright blue saying you're future is here.

"Yeah. I figured I only have one year left at Hearts High, I've got to start looking into colleges. This"

He said pointing at the pamphlet.

"Is my first and only choice. I've already looked into it, they concentrate manly on the arts of sports manly one the art of futbol, but they also have some pretty strong careers I could major in. You know just in case the futbol thing doesn't work out."

Sora was flipping through the pamphlet reading over how great it was and what not. He closed it looking up at Riku.

"Wow! Sound great. Where is it any way? I don't think I've heard of it before."

"England."

Riku said without missing a beat. Sora smiled, and handed his pamphlet back to Riku.

"Well as long as you don't start talking all posh I'm happy."

Sora said in a perfect english accent. He got up from the floor and flopped stomach down on his bed, grabbing the remote and started flipping through channels. Riku frowned but remained quiet. He thought Sora would have a problem with him going away, but perhaps he only hoped he did. Shaking the thought out of his head, he sat in front of Sora's bed, his back resting on Sora's bed and his feet stretched out before him.

Starring at the television, not really seeing anything,Sora thought of what Riku had just told him. He wasn't stupid, he knew one day sooner or later he and Riku would both have to part ways he had always just hoped it was later, preferably much, much later. It seemed so soon, Riku was graduating this year, Sora still had a year left. He thought of Riku not being there and couldn't imagine things without him. In fact he couldn't remember anything before Riku, he tried hard to remember what his life used to be before he had met Riku and all he could come up with was a big blank.

Sora's Mom came home and announce she was home. Sora answered her in automatic mode, without really thinking all he could think about was the fact, that his best friend was leaving. Not now not tomorrow, but soon. His best friends was leaving and the full realization that his best friend would no longer be with him, no longer a few feet away but thousands of miles away over seas was hitting him hard. Like waves crashing against rocks, hard enough to make the rocks crumble away slowly.

Sora didn't want to think of the day Riku wouldn't be there any more. He didn't want to think of how their friendship would crumble away just like the rocks. But Riku's my best friend we could always keep in touch. I could go visit him and he could come visit me. Sora thought, then realized it would be like that for a while. Sora would fly out to see Riku or vise versa they would talk about old time, because really that would be all they would have left in common. Until... until what? They forgot each other. Thinking that Sora felt a slight lump in the back of his throat. Sora sighed sadly and covered quickly with a loud yawn before Riku could notice.

Riku looked up at Sora and stretched out standing up.

"I'm tired I think I'm gonna go hit the sack."

"Okay."

Sora said and stood, but instead of walking Riku to the door, they moved to one of Sora's windows. The one that faced straight across Riku's room. Sora moved in front of the opened window, feeling the soft breeze of the night. He looked out at the tree between their houses and smiled remembering how exited he and Riku had been when they had discovered their rooms were right across from each other. Though it had taken about two months before Riku figured out they could just climb the tree and cross it to get to each others room. Which worked great when they were grounded.

Stepping aside he let Riku through. Riku took a hold of the sides of the window frame and hoisted himself up effortlessly. He stretched a little to catch a thick branch with his hand and stepped on to another branch with his foot. He maneuvered himself without any real effort having made the trip back and forth hundredths of times. He paused when he was in front of his window and hopped down to the roof of the porch that was beneath. He climbed into his window always remembering to leave it open. When he was inside his room he turned and saw Sora was still standing in front of his own window, watching him. Sora smiled from across his room at Riku.

"Night Riku!"

He yelled.

"Night Rah!"

Riku yelled back smiling moving away from the window. Sora turned smiling and started getting ready for bed. Riku wouldn't forget him no matter how far apart they were. They had shared more then half their lifes with each other and had been through a lot together. Sora convinced himself he and Riku had a very strong friendship and it would take more then miles and an ocean to keep them from forgetting each other. Sora knew very well he and Riku would be friends forever. Unfortunately that didn't stop the seed of doubt that he had planted in his head from growing. It was going to take more then Sora's self assurance to kill that seed.

In the mean time Sora slipped into bed happily oblivious of said seed. Sora had grabbed the remote for his sound system before he had climbed into his bed. He turned off his lamp having already turned off the main light from the ceiling. Using the remote he turned the radio on, flipping through the stations, he had programmed into the stereo. Finally leaving it on his favorite station. They always played recent music as well as music from foreign artist. He just let whatever melody lull him to sleep. He listed to the music for a bit before sleep started to creep into his eyes.

"And now here's a new song from an import artist, hope you people out there like it it's called "simple and clean" by Utada Hikaru lets hear it"

Simple and clean what an odd title Sora thought. He heard the beat of the song and thought it sounded like a good dance song, like the kind they would play at a dance club.

You're giving me too many things / Lately you're all I need / You smiled at me and said Don't get me wrong I love you / But does that mean I have to meet your father?

Sora smiled at the thought of loving someone but having to meet their father and inhis sleep fogged mind he thought. Good thing I already know Riku's dad.

When we are older you'll understand / What I meant when I said "No/ I don't think life is quite that simple" / When you walk away / You don't hear me say please / Oh baby, don't go.

Don't go. Don't go. And with those lyrics echoing in his head Sora finally fell into restless sleep.

He was lying comfortably on a thick bed of soft, cool grass, looking up at the sunset covered sky. His hands were folded beneath him and his legs crossed. He felt the soft breeze on his face and sighed closing his eyes, enjoying the noises around him. The boy next to him was sitting up, his back resting on the tree they were under, over looking a crystal clear lake. It was a nice evening and the sun was just setting. The boy sitting up had been talking, but the other missed what he was saying, opening his eyes Sora looked up at Riku.

"Sorry. What did you say?"

Riku sighed and looked up at the sunset. It was beautiful the sky was tinted with soft orange, red, and purple colors. The sun was disappearing slowly, reflecting all it's colors on the lake below. Which seemed to shimmer with life and color. Still looking up at the sky Riku repeated himself.

"I said, I do love you but, does that mean I have to meet your father?"

Sora frowned, thinking very hard before answering Riku. It was a rather difficult question to answer. Chewing nervously on his bottom lip he answered.

"Well No. I mean it's not that simple."

Riku was quiet starring up as the few moments of sun remained in the sky and disappeared. He looked down at Sora.

"What do you mean?"

Sora looked up at the now quickly darkening sky, a cold breeze suddenly began blowing and he saw a flash of lighting in the far off horizon. He sat up drawing his knees close to his body hugging them tightly resting his chin on his knees.

"I mean I wish it was that simple Riku. To say I love you, now I just have to meet your father and everything will be perfect. But I don't think life is quite that simple"

Riku was quiet again. The cold wind was ruffling both Sora's and Riku's hair as well as the leaves of the tree above them. It made the lake, which just a few minutes ago looked placid and calm, now seem alive with something evil as the water ripples became bigger and faster as if something was getting ready to jump from the depths of the lake.

The wind seemed to have picked up and Sora was nowshivering slightly. Sora looked up at the sky again and saw lightning splitting through the black, starless sky. He closed his eyes hugging his knees even closer to himself. He hated lightning, he hated thunder, he hated storms. He was afraid of storms, but at the moment he was even more afraid of the way the boy sitting next to him, was behaving. He seemed not to be himself at all. Who seemed to be angering as he struggled to understand what Sora was saying.

Riku was always there for him when there was a storm. He wouldn't say or do anything, just knowing he was there next to him was more than enough. The Riku next to him was quiet and despite the inches separating them, he seemed to be worlds apart. Sora didn't know how to get him back and that was what scared him the most.

"I don't understand you."

Sora opened his eyes looking up at Riku who was looking intently at him. Sora shivered under Riku's intense gaze.

"Maybe when we're older you'll understand what I mean. When I say I don't think life is quite that simple."

Lightning and thunder cut through the sky behind Riku illuminating the sky as well as Riku's face in a frightening array of violent dark blue light. Sora fought with all his will to keep his eyes open and return Riku's gaze. Riku seemed angry and confused, tearing his eyes away from Sora he got up.

"Hmph."

Was all Sora heard. Without a second look at Sora, Riku got up and started walking away. The sky opened up and rain poured down on them. The wind was blowing furiously, and the rain whipped fiercely on Sora's face. Sora panicked seeing Riku leave, he got up and started after Riku. He took one step forward but couldn't move he wanted to Run to Riku to hold him and never let him go, but he couldn't.

"Riku!"

Riku stopped turning slowly, his body dripping with water as rain still poured down on them. Riku didn't even flinch as the wind and rain hit his face. He slowly brought his right hand up towards Sora, extending his hand, as if inviting him to come to him. Though he was making no move towards Sora nor was he saying anything. He just stood there silently, with his palm open waiting.

Sora tried again to move but he couldn't and he realized with fear he couldn't get to Riku. Flinging his arms wildly pushing himself with all his strength, he lost his balance, falling hard on his knees. He pushed off the ground kneeling, looking up at Riku. Riku was looking at him with a sad almost heart broken expression on his face. Bringing his arm back to his side Riku nodded as if he undersood. Understood? Understand what? Sora's eyes went wide with fear, did Riku think he didn't want to go to him? Riku can't you see I can't move? Sora thought.

"You can move Sora you just don't want to."

Riku said sadly, turning his body walking away from Sora again. Sora stared at Riku's retreating form which was becoming harder to see, with the rain and wind blurring his vision. Sora got up again and tried to move he was not about to let Riku just leave. This time he was able to take a step forward, then another and another. It was difficult but as he continued it became easier and he began running. It was too late Riku was far away from him. Thunder and lightning continued splitting through the sky and rain pounded on Sora's head. Still he ran towards Riku.

"Riku wait!"

He yelled to the back of Riku's barely recognizable form, which was disappearing rapidly into the darkness of the stormy night. Riku did not stop. Sora kept running hot tears now mixing with the cold rain on his face. Sora had his hand stretched out as if hoping it could help him reach Riku faster.

"Riku! Don't go. Don't go"

"DON'T GO!"

Sora bolted up sitting on his bed, sweat drenching his body, he was breathing hard, he could feel his heart pounding and actually hear it in his ears. Looking into the darkness of his room he panted hard, his body shaking uncontrollably. He brought his shaky hands up burying his face in the palm of his hands. Outside he could hear the wind blowing andthe sound ofgentle rain tapping on the roof. He took his hands away from his face and took deep breaths. He had, had a nightmare, but he didn't remember what it had been about. It had been bad he knew that much or else he would not be feeling so scared and shaking like a leaf.

Feeling his breathing return to normal, he laid back down on his side pulling the covers tightly around him. Whatever his nightmare had been about Sora knew he didn't want to remember. He still felt scared for some reason. He had the strongest urge to just throw the covers over his head and wish his fears away.

His uneasiness didn't go away by morning, or that afternoon. Not even later that week. If anything they got stronger and whenever he saw Riku he felt as if Riku was going to just disappear, and had to fight the urge to run to him and hold him. He hadn't told Riku how he felt though. Why? For one he didn't know what to say, was he just to go, hey Riku I had a nightmare, about what? I have no clue, but now I feel like you're going to disappear. That would be embarrassing and Sora felt stupid. It was bad enough he was still afraid of storms he was not about to bother Riku with his nightmares too.

This was one of the times he was glad he was an actor. He didn't let his feelings show and it wasn't easy he had never lied to Riku before. It was easy though to pretend he was okay, he was happy for Riku, when he had made the team, which was really a given. He laughed at Tidus's jokes and pretended to listed to Kairi's and Selphie's gossip.

To the world Sora was fine, everything was fine and little by little the uneasiness began to fade. Until about two weeks later one bright sunny morning, it had been completely forgotten and he was now back to normal happy, cheerful Sora no more acting. The best part for him was, no one had noticed.

M.C: And then there was angst. So did you guys like that whole song, dream thing? And I introduced a new character Squall (a.k.a. Leon) well sort of more of him next chapter.

Jin: (crack knuckles) Okay I'm ready for more angst.

M.C: I think we did well with the whole angst thing in this chapter, good job Jin. Oh and I made up that University so to best of my knowledge it doesn't exists. And I made Sora an actor, but not a Hollywood actor, he's a theater actor and he can cook. (LOL)

Demak: (sticks head out from inside a vase) Is it safe to come out yet?

Jin: No go away this is just getting good with out you.

Demak: (sticks tongue out at Jin) Yeah well you smell.

M.C.: Hmm. Maybe we should stop torturing Riku, with the whole almost kissing Sora thing. What do you think guys?

Demak: Yeah!

Jin: No not really

Demak: Oh come on Jin, or else ( holds out a pink tu-tu)

Jin OO: Get that thing away from me ( runs away from Demak)

M.C. (sighs -) To think they feed me almost all my ideas. Any way from here on, it's going to be a roller coaster of angst and smut. Well plot's coming along well, we finally get some implications that Sora likes Riku or something. We still have a long way to go more characters to introduce, games to play, plays to act. So stayed tuned leave me a review.
