(Chapter 4: A little white lie)
- A familiar red-head stood nearby, tears running down her cheeks. "You lied to me! You told me you loved me... when all this time you're heart has really belonged to him! You make me sick! How could you do this to me? I'll get you back... I swear I will!" She screamed angrilly. "Sora! Sora?" -
Sora blinked awake as the red-head from his dream swam into view, he was vaguely aware that his forehead was covered in sweat but he could have kissed the woman who'd been screaming at him only moments before for tearing him away from that nightmare. It had been different this time, instead of him being with Riku in his dreams, last night had been a true nightmare... a nightmare of Kairi being furious with him and swearing revenge for breaking her heart.
Concerned red eyes stared at him."Hey! Are you all-right Sora?" She asked him worriedly.
He blinked blearily at her for a moment longer before cracking a huge smile, "Yeah! I'm fine I promise." He responded tossing himself out of bed with gusto just to prove it. She giggled at his antics.
"Well you'd better get ready... you were supposed to be up a half an hour ago! Everyone is waiting for you!" She told him, laughing at the horrified expression on his face as he dived into his closet, tossing off his pj's and putting on his usual attire of white and yellow. He scurried out of the closet, hopping on one foot as he tried to put his one of his shoes on while walking at the same time.
Unfortunately, Sora was not nearly talented enough to do this and fell flat on his face after tripping over his other shoe with his only free foot. Kairi doubled over with laughter, and when Sora's red face looked up to glare at her it only intesified the comedic side of it all. Slowly he picked himself up of the ground, realizing he wasn't getting any help from the girl who was rolling back and forth on the floor and gasping between bouts of uncontrollable laughter. Watching her for a moment, his annoyance softened and he couldn't help but laugh at himself. It was pretty funny. He plopped down on the bed and threw his other shoe on then walked over prodding the laughing girl in the side.
"H...hey!" She managed through her laughter, shortly annoyed by his foot.
"C'mon... quit laughing I'm already late." Sora said in good sportsmanship.
Kairi nodded from the floor and allowed him to help her up, she was still a bit weak from all her laughing and fell against him chuckling a bit. He rolled his eyes and helped her to stand on her own before lacing his fingers through hers and racing out the door with her in tow. She barely had the time to get her bearings and realize he was running before her feet hit the ground and she was expected to do the same!

(In front of the door to darkness)
The king and Namine were already standing there as Sora huffed into view dragging Kairi behind him. The king grinned at the red-head. "Thanks for going to get him Kairi... we thought we'd have to wait all day." Mickey said jovially.
Sora grinned sheepishly, "Sorry your majesty." He said bowing swiftly before standing upright. He glanced around thoughtfully before he realized what was missing. "Hey... where's Riku?"
"He decided to go home and change into something more comfortable while he figured we were waiting for you anyway." Namine had ready. In actuality, it was the perfect excuse for the way Riku would appear. The plan was that he was to go into the door already in dark mode so as to have the upper hand against the hoards of heartless who would be trying to murder him the minute he crossed the threshold.
Sure enough once that sentance reached the ears of the man standing just out of sight, Riku walked into view as though he'd been on his way back to the door from home. He wore a violet muscle-hugging shirt with a black heart in the center, a red X in the center of it. He had matching violet pants complete with violet-colored grass skirt and high dark-grey boots. As he came level with the group Namine handed him a matching dark-grey trenchcoat with a hood that Riku slipped on over what he was wearing.
Sora found himself stairing at how ... hot... Riku looked in this new outfit. He shook his head as he thought this, reminding himself that he shouldn't be thinking that way. He noticed with a slight pang that Riku didn't even give him a second glance... Sora felt particularly guilty about this, 'He must hate me...' He thought. When Riku was finished slipping the hood over his head and zipping up his coat he gave them a black-gloved thumbs up. He and Namine stood before the door side by side. This confused Sora who turned to the King. "What's going on? I thought only Riku was going?"
Kairi groaned, "Sora weren't you paying attention yesterday? Namine's going to go with him. She has some cool special powers that he can use where he's going better than we can here." She explained for him.
"Oh..." Sora said, still kind of confused.
"Besides she totally has the hots for him and she deserves some time alone with him to get to know him a bit better." She continued after leaning over to whisper this in his ear.
Sora's face flushed beet red and he stared at Riku's back in numb astonishment. He was going alone... with a girl that liked him? What if they got together? Wait... why did he care? He should be happy that Riku had a chance at love just like he himself had with Kairi. He forced himself to nod and smile, whipping out his keyblade and readying to open the door. Behind him the king summoned a forcefield of light that surrounded Riku and Namine and curved around to the door so that nothing could escape once the door was open.
Sora concentrated his power and shot a beam of light into the keyhole, activating the door which swung open slowly. Riku and Namine hurredly entered the open door which began spewing dark shadows as fast as it could... the shadows being repelled by Mickey's sheild.
The king forced the shadows back into the door and Sora locked it again with a swish of his blade. Then they were finished and the King hopped into his limo and waved a cheerfull goodbye to them. Kairi left to go home and suggested to Sora that he aught to do the same. But he explained that he just wanted to be alone for a while. She shrugged and complied. Soon there was no one else around him.
"Riku..." He whispered quietly, feeling tears begin to bubble behind his eyes. His best friend was gone forever... and there was nothing he could do about it. He could feel his heart welling with sorrow and he pushed it back. No, this is what he wanted... Riku was safe from him now... and he was safe from Riku. He thought forcefully as he made himself walk back home. Everything could be normal now... everything would be fine.
