Later that day, Riku got home from school feeling very angry. His best friend and his fangirl were missing. He couldn't just let this slide. He had to do something about it, but what? He didn't know where to start. He could scour the hospital in search of Sora, or try calling Ryo on her cell phone. He tried to reach her at home, but he only got the answering machine. He took out his cell phone and tried to call Ryo on her cell phone. But it just rang with nobody picking up. Riku hung up after about the seventh ring and slammed a fistinto the wall of his kitchen. Then, he sat down in a chair and put his head in his hands.
"Riku?" asked a voice.
Riku looked up and saw Kairi, standing right in front of him.
"Kairi?" asked Riku.
Kairi pulled up a chair and sat next to Riku.
"Riku, are you okay?" she asked softly.
"No." replied Riku miserably. "Two of my best friends are missing! And it's all my fault!"
"How is it your fault?" asked Kairi.
"They're missing because they know me," said Riku. "I know Rep did this. He would do something like this. He ran Sora down with his car and stabbed him. And I know he kidnapped Ryo. Every time she's around and Rep's here, he gives her dirty looks. Then, when she's not here, he talks bad about her."
"Wait, he ran Sora down and stabbed him?" cried Kairi. "Why?"
"I don't know!" cried Riku. "He's doing this because he's an asshole! But he wouldn't be this way if Larxene's mother didn't give us that stupid potion when we were born!"
Kairi was silent. She had a shocked expression on her face. "She gave you a potion? What for?" she asked.
"To make us both evil geniuses to join the Organization and take over the worlds." replied Riku. "She was successful in making Rep pure evil, but she wasn't with me. But if she hadn't come along, Rep would have been normal. He would have been a nice guy and he could have been a great brother to me."
Then, tears streamed down his cheeks. Kairi gave Riku a hug, but didn't let go. She just held Riku.
"Shh. It'll be okay." she said gently, pushing back Riku's long, silvery bangs that were in his face. "If Hurky was here, she'd say that crying won't bring Sora and Ryo back, unless you sat here eating a ton of pizza and drinking your cologne until your tears smelled enough like pizza and cologne and then crying will bring them back. Alexa would say for you to go out and find them."
Riku loosened himself from Kairi and turned to her, with his tears now gone.
"You know something?" he asked. "You're right! I can't just sit here and mope! I'm going to go find my friends!"
With that, he ran out the door.
Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location, Sora and Ryo both sat in chairs, all tied up. Both of them were knocked out from being abducted. They didn't know that they had been kidnapped. Then, Sora woke up.
"Ugh, my head..." he said to himself. He looked around. "Wha? W-where am I?"
He turned and saw Ryo, tied up in the chair next to him, still passed out.
"Ryo?" asked Sora. "Ryo, wake up!"
Ryo opened her eyes.
"Huh?" she asked. "Sora? Where are we? And why are we tied up?"
"I don't know." replied Sora. "But I do know that whoever tied us up sucks at tying people up! I mean, they tied the rope over my wrist that's broken and it hurts like hell!"
"Shut up, Sore-ass." said a familiar voice.
"Riku?" asked Ryo.
"No, not Riku." said Sora. "Rep."
Rep walked out from the shadows and stood in front of Sora and Ryo.
"What's going on here?" demanded Ryo. "Why are we here?"
Rep didn't say anything.
"You are aware that you kidnapped me from the hospital." said Sora. He was only wearing his basketball shorts.
"I know." said Rep. "Now if you excuse me, I've got some business to take care of."
"Are you going to do something to Kairi and the others?" demanded Sora.
"You'll see." replied Rep.
"Hey, you better not do anything to hurt my friends or I'll-" said Sora until Rep walked over to him and used a sleep hold, causing him to fall asleep.
"What did you do to him?" cried Ryo.
"Relax, I just put him to sleep." said Rep, and with that, he walked over to Ryo and used to sleep hold on her, too. "So you don't try to escape."
With that, he walked out.
Back at the hospital, Riku was frantically trying to find Sora. He ran up to every nurse and doctor, asking if they had seen a spiky haired kid with a broken wrist and a bandage around his chest. Nobody had seen him. This made Riku really angry. He left the hospital and decided to go home, feeling discouraged. As Riku walked home (he didn't take his car for once), he stumbled upon a secret cave. It wasn't like the secret place that he found when he was a kid. No. This place was totally different. He suddenly found himself walking to it and going inside...
