Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, it's owned by Square soft and Disney. I also don't own Final Fantasy. I do own Yoko, Miroku, and Luca. And 'Saki' is a band that I made up, and any songs from that band (unless otherwise noted) were written by me.
Warning: In some chapters, there will be Shounen-ai, Yaoi, rape, (not a lot), and Lemon. So if that does not appeal to you, leave now and do not review saying how sick I am.
In this chapter: Language, self-mutilation.
Note: Flames will be used for Sora and Riku to snuggle up together in front of a warm fireplace.
Okay, one more thing. PLEASE check out Danny's account! He is a beastly fanfiction writer who deserves to have more people read his fanfictions! Search his penname, Shocker2110 please:D

"Hello?" Yoko spoke clearly into her microphone. She was standing on the center of a stage that was set up in her backyard. Sora, Riku, Kairi, Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie had come over, including all of their parents, Paine, Vincent, Selphie's older sister Lenne, and Wakka's younger brother Chappu.
"YOU GO BABY!" Kairi's step-mom yelled out. Kairi's real mom's sister was Yoko's mom. Kairi was now living with her step-dad, who was the mayor of Destiny Islands, and his wife. They treated her very well. Ruby, Kairi's step-mom, loved Kairi and Yoko to death.
"Heh, hi Auntie Ruby. Anyway, I'm sure you all know why you are here to night. I decided to put on a small concert in my backyard, but don't expect any crazy dancing. (Tidus and Wakka 'awwed' loudly). I will be singing three songs, then we'll eat dinner with the wonderful food that chef Quina has prepared for us-" A large woman in a pink dress smiled and waved.
"That's me!" She said, and Yoko continued.
"-and then I'll finish off with three more songs. This should end around 9:00pm. Well, here it is." She sang the first three songs, and she actually wrote all of them. During dinner, Selphie pulled Yoko aside.
"What's up?" Yoko asked. Selphie looked worried.
"Sora's been looking really upset. Something's up." She said.
"Okay…I'll talk to him…I'm sure it's not THAT bad…Oh, shit! Got to go!" She ran up on stage and smiled at everyone.
"Hello, everybody! Welcome back. Here are my final three songs." She sang two more she had written, and had an idea for the last song. She cleared her throat.
"This next and last song is dedicated
to two of my new friends here. They have shown me that if you want
something, no matter how crazy it is, there is always a chance of it
happening. Here is Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru."
"When
you walk away
You don't hear me say
Please, oh baby, don't
go
Simple and clean is the way you are making me feel tonight
It's
hard the let it go
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?
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 her me say
Please, oh baby, don't
go
Simple and clean is the way you are making me feel tonight
It's
hard to let it go"
Riku smiled. That was a great song. He had heard it on the radio. Sora smiled as well. He knew that she sang that song for him and Riku. His smiled faltered to a frown when he remembered why he was so sad in the first place. He bowed his head and felt his bottom lip stick out. She had finished, and everyone cheered. She smiled brightly.
"Thank you, thank you!" She said. "Have a wonderful night, everybody!" And with that, the adults went home, but the teens, Lenne, and Chappu all helped clean up. When they were finished, it was 10:30.
"Damn, we're out a little late, huh, big bro'?" Chappu said, and Wakka nodded.
"We gotta go. See ya tomorrow!" Wakka and Chappu left.
"That's not a bad idea…c'mon little sis…" Lenne took Selphie's hand, and they left.
"I guess I'll go too…" Tidus said, and left.
"Well, we should work on the raft tomorrow?" Yoko asked, and everyone else nodded.
"Good idea. I think I should go, before Ruby gets too worried…" Kairi waved good-bye, and left. Riku, Sora, and Yoko were left.
"I think I'm going to go as well. I'll see you two tomorrow." He smiled, and glanced over at Sora who was looking down, pouting. Riku gave him a worried glance, and waved them good-bye. Yoko walked closer to Sora.
"Do you want to come over and talk?" He nodded, and began walking toward Yoko's house.
"Yeah. I need to talk to someone." He said. Sora and Yoko went in through the back door, and up to her room. She sat on her bed, and Sora stood at the doorway. He took in a deep breath, sat down next to her, and immediately hugged her and began crying into her shoulder.
"Oh my god…what's wrong?" She rubbed his back comfortingly.
"I-I love him…" Sora managed to say.
"Riku?"
"Y-y-yeah…" He sniffled.
"Sora…" She hugged him close. "Then why are you crying? It's very obvious he returns those feelings." She said, and looked into his eyes.
"It..it's just, well, I love him so much, I don't know what I'll do without him! And on the night of the truth or dare game, we…we kissed, and we both liked it, but we thought it was…wrong…" he said quickly, but started sobbing toward the end.
"Sora, Sora…" She smiled warmly. "In the celebrity world, where I come from, they make a big deal out of it. But here, in the real world, no one cares! Love is love, and hat shouldn't change anything! It's not wrong! IF you and Riku got together, I'm sure everyone would support you tenfold! You heard their reactions at the truth or dare game." She said, and smiled.
"…But what about you and Kairi?" He said. "I know Kairi likes me, and I have a hunch that you like Riku."
"Psh. Kairi will get over it. If she really was your friend, she wouldn't hold a grudge against you for that. As for me, I mean, I like Riku as a really good friend and all, but I don't like him like that. It's too soon for me to start dating other guys." She said, and smiled sadly at Sora.
"But… it's just I feel like we weren't meant to be…"
"Is that because both of you are guys?"
"…"
"Answer me!"
"Fine! Yes!" He pouted. "It seems awkward! I don't know how to put it!"
"What did I say before? It's not awkward. Your friends will understand and will support. Now, I want you to-" She stopped when she saw his wrists. They were wrapped in bloody gauze.
"Sora…you have some explaining to do…" She muttered.
"Wha?" But before he could finish, she had taken off the bandages. She gasped, and didn't like what she saw.
"Y-y-y-ou! Sora, WHY?" She half whispered, half screamed. She discovered he was a cutter, like she is. "I would never have e-expected…you…" She wasn't happy at all.
"Those are old…I used to cut myself before Riku and I confessed our love for each other, but I cut myself today because…" He stopped, and she understood. He had started cutting again since that night.
"Sora, you really shouldn't cut yourself like that…it may seem I'm turning something small into something big, but I'm not. My boyfriend committed suicide cutting his wrists!" She was slightly shaking.
"…Huh? Oh, right…" Sora squeaked.
"Sora!" She breathed.
"I'm really sorry…" Sora said. He put his hand on hers.
"Thanks for listening…my dad passed when I was young, and my mom would reject me if I ever brought this kind of stuff up…it's easy with you since you know what I've been through…" He sniffed again.
"Like I said, you're like my little brother…" She spoke quietly.
"And I guess you're like an older sister." He smiled to himself. He felt good around her. It wasn't love; it was a comfort only a sister could give.
"Just please…PLEASE don't cut yourself!"

Um…yeah. There you go. I seriously don't know what the hell is up with Quina's gender, but judging by what he/she wears in the game, (Final Fantasy IX), I'm going to have to say it's a girl. Mwaha.
Sora: Read and review to 23 because I say so! –cute pout-
Aww…look at that pout. You can't resist that, can you?
