Chapter 1

"Come on 'ku! Lets go!" a small chestnut haired kid yelled, while pulling on Riku's arm. Seven year old Riku yawned and looked at the six year old boy.

"Sora! Can't I be you for a min?" He asked. Sora grinned. Riku raised an eyebrow. Sora's grin was very manic at the moment.

"Sora what are you plani–AH!" Before Riku could finish questioning Sora, he was underwater and glared up to the small boy.

Sora leaned down and looked at Riku. "Are you awake yet?" he asked. Riku splashed the now laughing boy and swam over to the latter to the small island. He climbed up and sat on the paupo tree, pouting. Sora walked over and frowned.

"Riku, are you mad at me?" Sora asked in the most innocent voice he could muster. Riku looked down and almost 'Awwed' but quickly caught his action. Riku shook his head and smiled at Sora.

Sora grinned and sat next to Riku. They stayed like that for some time. Riku would occasionally look over at Sora, to see him open his mouth to say something, hesitating, then closing his mouth again.

"Sora, is something wrong?" He asked. Sora turned to him. "Riku..." His eyes started to tear up. Riku grabbed Sora into a hug.

"Whats wrong? You cant tell me anything!" Riku said while rubbing Sora's back.

"Riku..." Sora began.

"Yes?" Riku asked.

"I didn't want to tell you this but...." Sora bit his lip then answered. "My family and I are...moving to Haven City..." Riku's eyes widened and he let go of Sora standing up, and backing away....

Sora looked down, eyes being shadowed by his bangs. "I knew I shouldn't tell you...." and then he disappeared.

Beep beep beep

Seventeen year old Riku sat up in bed and yawn. He looked at his clock which read "6:01". He sighed an turned it off and went to go get ready.

Yet anouther day in the life of Riku Siou's life. He was the best athlete in all the things he's done, he is the most popular guy, he has the most popular girl, Kairi, as a girlfriend. His life seemed perfected yet he felt like something was missing.

Riku turned off the shower and got dress in a pair of jeans, a dark blue button up shirt, and a silver necklace with a paupo on it. He walked down stairs.

He walked into the kitchen and sat at the table watching his mom. His mother's name was Alexandria, but everyone called her Alex. She had light blond hair and the same emerald eyes as Riku. She was about 32 at the time, since she had Riku when she was 15. His real father never married his mom, but he had met Sephiroth a couple times. ((A/N: ))

"Morning mom..." He said, yawning again. He sat down at the table and rested his head on his hand.

"Morinin' hun," She said to him. She flipped anouther pancake. "Can you go turn on the news and tell me if anything has happened."

Riku nodded and walked out to the living room. He grabbed the remote and flipped on the television, turning to channel 7. The scene was amazing. A building was in flames and a uniformed man, about 22 was pointing out orders to firefighters and other soldiers. He had many metals and it looked very familiar.

A blond haired reporter come onto the screen. "This is Judy Andrews, reporting from Haven city," She said. 'Haven City...why do I know that name?'

"Mom, hurry get I here!" He yelled torward the kitchen. Alex came in carrying two plates with pancakes. She sat down next to him and watched.

"So far the bombing has spread to about five buildings," She began. "There have been 30 casualties, 15 injured."

Alex gasped. A man walked up to Judy and gave her a list. "Here is the list of the people who've died so far. ((If a name I say is someone you know , alive or dead, then please do not sew or flame me, this is only coincidental.)) Stanley O'Riley, Suzanne Smith, Sarah and Christopher Everheart..." After that name everything went blank in Riku and Alex's minds.

"Isn't that?" Riku asked Alex.

"It can't be them...there isn't any way it can be them..." Alex was talking to herself, her hand shaking. They looked back at the television, and listened to the rest of the names, hoping that Sora and Sei, Sora's older brother, weren't on the list. When she finished reading them she looked back to the camera. "We have the son of two of the people with us today, helping put out the fire. Lets see what Sei has to say.."

Alex covered her face. "It was them..." Riku was too shocked to do anything. Cry... No, Laugh...Hell No, Scream his head off....eh sounds good, naw... Riku looked back to the television. The reporter and the camera man had walked over the man I the uniform. "Sei! How do you feel abou-"Before she could finish Sei cut her off.

"Can't you see we're busy here?!" He yelled at her. He pulled out a walkie talkie. "Sora! Where the hell are you?! Over" He said in. A response came in but it was a little fuzzy.

"It took us a while to load the water tanks on the planes. We should be over you in 10 seconds. Over," Sora said.

"Roger, Over and out Sora." Sei put it away and looked up. Sure enough about two planes flew over the buildings. They each had huge metal tanks attached to the bottoms. The tanks opened and water flooded the area. Everyone got soaked.

"We're heading back Sei, Over." Sora said through the radio. Sei sighed and wiped off his forehead with his sleeve, which really didn't do any good since he was throughly soaked.

"Thanks for the bath Sora.." Sei said. He put it away and walked over to his squad of soaked soldiers.

The camera turned back to Judy. "That is supposedly the last of the fire. More information will be presented soon. Back to you Dick..."

Riku turned the television off and looked at his mother. "I knew that the Haven kids all went to military school, but I didn't know they were enlisted." Riku said to her.

Alex nodded. "They passed a law there that children who went through the academy for at least five years, had to enlist to stay in the school. Speaking of school...you should get going..."

Riku opened his mouth to interject when she cut him off. "I'll tell you if anything has happened okay?" Riku sighed and nodded, standing up.

He grabbed his backpack and walked out of the house. Almost instantly he saw the Everheart house. It was right across the street from his. It looked perfect, maybe for the chipped paint here and there, and from Sora's bedroom there was the best view of the ocean. He hadn't been in Sora's house since the day the Everhearts moved away. They still owned it, because they planned on moving back when Mr. Everheart had gotten a job closer to Destiny Island. Its been 10 years since Sora left. He had given up hope 5 years ago.

His hope was coming back....

Riku: o--o poor, poor Sora....

Aw Riku, you'll get to see Sora soon...Eep covers mouth

Riku: Really! Okay!
