The Mysterious Boy

I appreciate the reviews, everyone. You guys are my motivation to keep me going through this story! It's good to know people are reading this. Ok, moving on...

Chapter 4

"What's going on?" Riku asked, unable to see what was happening. He could no longer see Sora, but he felt Sora's hands still. All he could see now was white. He was still shocked he did not try to break away this time. Suddenly, he found himself somewhere else along with Sora. The place was beautiful! It was like some sort of paradise.

"Where am I?" Riku asked.

"We've just entered my home world." said Sora. "This is where I lived before I traveled to your world."

"What do you mean by world?"

"There are many different worlds, believe it or not."

Riku wasn't sure what to believe at the moment. The place was so breathtaking. And he was still confused about how he had even gotten there. Sora could tell he was confused by the look on his face.

"I know you must be so puzzled." said Sora. "Well, that's enough for now I guess." He smiled.

Everything seemed blurry to Riku for a second, then he found himself in his room on his bed.

Was it just a dream? Riku asked himself. I must have dozed off...

It seemed so real. Could it have really been a dream? He remembered actually touching Sora's hands and entering some strange place Sora calls his world. It would not have been a surprise to him if it was a dream. After all, he had been having strange dreams about Sora lately.

A few days went by and Riku hadn't heard a word from Hayner nor Kairi. They were probably having too much fun with each other to even think about Riku. Riku hardly ever thought about them though. At the moment, all he could focus on was Sora. All day, everyday, he would think about him. He realized he needed to see him again. Deep down inside, he could tell he wanted to see him again. He just wasn't sure why. Perhaps to find out if what happened a few days ago as a dream or not?

I can't just ask him. Riku thought. If it was a dream, I'd seem like a complete idiot.

He saw Sora not long afterwards.

"I need to talk to you." Sora said. "You must still be a bit puzzled about me bringing you to my home world."

Riku was surprised. It wasn't a dream after all.

"Why...did you take me there?" Riku asked.

"Well," said Sora. "I wanted us to get to know each other better. I decided to start by showing you the place I came from. I knew if I told you I came from another world you wouldn't believe me."

Riku said nothing. He wasn't sure of what to say anyway. Nothing even close to this strange has ever happened to him.

"Do you want to see it again?" Sora asked.

Riku's eyes widened a little. Something in him really wanted to go back, but it felt odd. But he decided to ignore those feelings.

"Um, sure." he said.

Sora looked around to see if anyone was watching. Nobody was, so he grabbed Riku's hands.

In an instant, they were at the marvelous place again. Riku was actually happy to be back.

"Let me show you around." said Sora.

Everything about the place was wonderful. The sky was full of colors like blue and purple. And it was even brighter with the millions of stars in the sky. The grass could not be any greener and the water could not be any clearer. Everything about the place just gave off a happy feeling. Riku couldn't remember the last time he truly felt happy. He loved this feeling an he loved this place.

After a while, Sora suggested that they head back. He grabbed Riku's hands and teleported them back.

"You seem so much happier." said Sora.

"It was ok." said Riku. Sora laughed. "Hey, what's so funny?"

"Come on! You know you had a good time!"

"What? I told you it was ok."

Sora laughed a little more. "Whatever, Riku. You're so serious all the time. It wouldn't kill you to lay back and have fun for once."

"And it wouldn't kill you to be a little more serious for once."

"I'm serious when I want to be. I'm not completely careless."

"I really should get home." said Riku. He didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Well I hope you enjoyed yourself." Sora said, watching Riku leave.

"Uh...thanks." Riku said. "...I guess."

Sora knew he didn't really mean it, but he didn't really care at the moment.

He seemed pretty happy when we were in my old home world. Sora thought. Well, it's a start.

Riku went home, still thinking about what had happened that day. He never thought about Hayner or Kairi anymore. Since that day, all he could think about was Sora taking him to that odd place.

No wonder he's so weird. Riku thought. He's from some other world! Well, I guess I'll admit that's...kind of cool. It's not everyday you find someone like that.

He stopped his thoughts that were bothering him.

Three more days passed and Riku still couldn't get over how fascinating the place was. All day Riku would think of it and if he would ever get to see it again. The thought of Sora came to mind once more. He hated how he was always thinking about him. Though still very confused with his feelings and such, he knew he wanted to see Sora again. Who knew what else was special about that boy! Riku left the house, hoping he would find Sora. He ran into him every other time, so why would this time be any different?
