Heya guys, I'm so sorry for not updating in a while, but life is a bitch, and college was hell. I'm happy to say that I'm on holiday now, so I can update more. But I have a little problem: I haven't a clue where this story is going anymore. I've spent too much time not concentrating on it and I've lost my focus. I don't know when I'll update after this coz I need to re-examine the whole thing and figure out what's going on. But anyway, I'm sure you guys don't want to know all this, so read and enjoy, and don't forget to review if you have time.


"What are we to do now?"

"We wait."

"What for?"

"For them to find each other. Riku has already found Selphie, although I don't think he's realised. He's too focused on finding Sora."

"Young love. It makes me sick!"

"I know, it's so utterly revolting. But I'm sure that we can deal with that easily enough."

"Now we're talking, but how do I ensnare him?"

"Well, first we get rid of our eavesdropper. Bye Sora dear, I trust we'll be meeting soon."


Sora sat bolt straight in bed. He then realised he wasn't at home. He looked around the room, taking in the posters on the white walls, the plush green carpet, the adorably cute blond standing in the doorway next to the slightly larger auburn haired god…

Then he realised he was wearing nothing at all and the duvet covering him, well, wasn't totally covering him. He let out a high pitched scream and pulled the duvet up to his neck.

"Who are you guys? Where am I?" Sora asked.

The blond stepped forward. "My name is Tidus, and that guy is Wakka."

"Hi." Wakka's monosyllabic greeting with his accent was to die for. If Sora wasn't with Riku then…

Mentally slapping himself hard enough to give himself concussion, Sora cleared his head. "Where am I?"

"You're in my house. On Destiny Island. We found you washed up on the beach, soaking wet, so we brought you back here." Tidus answered, sitting on the edge of the king-sized bed.

"Where's Riku?" Sora asked.

"Who's Riku?" Wakka asked.

The guy I was with. Tall, silver hair, ocean blue eyes and an ass to die for. You must have seen him."

Tidus' eyes widened slightly and the description, but Wakka smiled slightly. "When we found you, you were alone, and there were no footprints in the sand, so whoever you were with didn't get up and walk away. You were on your own." Wakka walked forwards and sat on the side of the bed opposite Tidus.

Sora opened his mouth to speak, but he paused. His dream came back to him. The voices, the conversation. The second voice belonged to Maleficent, but the first voice was one he hadn't heard before.

"Riku has already found Selphie". "I need to find Selphie." Sora said, more to himself than to the other two in the room.

"You know Selphie?" Tidus asked.

"You know Selphie? I need to see her now. Take me to her." Sora got up, remembering too late that he wasn't at home, and was therefore naked. Letting out another little scream, he grabbed the duvet and covered himself.

"I have some clothes I think will fit you. I'll go get them for you, and then we'll go find Selphie." Tidus walked out of the room and came back a few minutes later with a white vest and tight yellow shorts. Wakka and Tidus left Sora to quickly dress, and he practically pushed them out of the house, to find Selphie.


"Thanks for cleaning my clothes." Riku was admiring himself in Selphie's full-length mirror.

"Anytime." Selphie smiled. "So, this Sora you're looking for, who is he to you?" Selphie was watching Riku closely.

"He's my… He's my boyfriend." Riku answered after a moment's hesitation.

"I knew it!" Selphie screamed gleefully.

"Knew what?" Riku turned to look at her strangely.

"You just had to be gay. You're too perfect to be straight."

Riku just shook his head and gave his clothes the finishing touches. Just then the doorbell rang.

"I'll be back in a sec." Selphie said to Riku as she rushed out of her room and down the stairs to the front door.

"Hey Selphie-"

"Where's Riku?" Riku's heart skipped a beat.

"Sora?" Riku called hopefully.

"RIKU!" Sora's voice filled with joy. Riku ran down the stairs and ran at Sora, who jumped onto Riku locked his legs around the older boy's waist and proceeded to kiss him with a fiery passion. When they finally broke apart, the need for oxygen interrupting their joyful reunion, they met three totally different reactions.

Tidus was staring, shocked, Selphie was all teary, and Wakka was plain drooling. Clearing his throat loudly, Sora dropped off Riku and turned to face the others. This seemed to be enough to snap them out of their trances.

"Sora, this is Selphie." Riku said, motioning to Sora who Selphie was. "Selphie, this is Sora."

"Riku was right about you, you do have the most wonderful eyes."

"Thank you." Sora then motioned to Tidus and Wakka. "Riku, meet Tidus and Wakka. Tidus, Wakka, this is Riku."

"Sora was right about you too," Wakka said, grinning as he shook Riku's hand, "You do have an ass to die for."

"Thank you." He opened his mouth to talk but paused, realising what Wakka had said. He turned to Sora. "You described me as having an ass to die for? To total strangers?"

"They aren't total strangers, plus they saved me." Sora stated indignantly.

"Oh, I don't care! I'm just so happy to see you again!" Riku pulled his lover close and held him tightly. When he finally let go gave Sora a quick kiss and then turned to the girl.

"Could we possibly get something to eat Selphie? I'm-"

"You're Selphie?" Sora interrupted.

"Yeah, do I know you?" Selphie looked at Sora quizzically.

Sora ignored her and turned to Riku. "She's the second princess of heart."

Riku gasped in realisation. "That's why her name was so familiar!"

"Excuse me?" Selphie was totally confused, as were Wakka and Tidus.

"Selphie you're in danger. A woman called Maleficent is going to try to kidnap you." As Riku was talking the keyblades appeared in Riku's and Sora's hands. There was a loud crash from a room at the far end of the house.

"That's the kitchen window." Selphie went to push past but was stopped by Riku. "We'll go check it out. C'mon Sora."

"Wait Riku," Sora said suddenly, "This might be a trick to get us away from Selphie. You stay here, I'll go check out the kitchen."

Before Riku could argue, Sora was in the kitchen.

"You took your time." Kairi, or rather what used to be Kairi, was stood by the window looking out.

"Riku," Sora called, "Get Selphie out of here, and watch out for Maleficent."

"Awww, how sweet, telling your lover what to do."

"I'm keeping him away from you, you man-stealing whore."

"Ooh, Sora. That hurt." Kairi turned and put her hand on her heart mockingly.

"Not as much as this will, you psychopathic bitch!" Sora swung his keyblade at Kairi, who ducked and lashed out at Sora, who saw the blade just in time to move. The silver blade made a rip in his sock, but narrowly missed his foot. He raised the keyblade, and Kairi lifted hers. Kairi launched herself up and came down, aiming for Sora's head, but Sora deflected her blow with the blade and then, letting to of the handle, he whacked Kairi with it, grabbing the blade and sending her flying out of the window.

Sora turned to walk out of the kitchen, but the whispering voices stopped him.

"Sora…" Sora turned to look for Kairi, but she was lying in the garden, passed out.

"Sora… focus…"

"What?"

"Focus… voices…"

"What Voices?" Sora began to ask the question but as he did he heard many voices fill his head. He tried to focus on what they were saying, but they were all having different conversations.

"Sora…" He heard a voice calling him. He focused hard on it and it gradually became louder and drowned out the other voices.

"Sora… Help me…"

"Kairi!" Sora recognised the voice, but it had changed. It was no longer full of suppressed laughter, but it was devoid of emotion.

"Help…"

"How?"

"Help…" As suddenly as the voice had come to him, it left. He snapped back to reality and saw Kairi's body twitch. He ran out of the kitchen and towards the open door. But just as he reached it, it slammed. Behind it stood Maleficent. Sora turned to run back, but Kairi stood in the kitchen doorway. Making a quick decision, he bolted up the stairs and ran into the closest room and began to barricade himself in. He grabbed a chair and positioned it beneath the door handle so it couldn't be opened. He then ran to the window and yanked it open. He looked down, it was clearly too far to jump, he'd break his legs. He then heard the door rattle. He climbed out onto the window ledge and closed the window. He then noticed the drainpipe. It stopped halfway down the house, but from the bottom he could jump down safely. He grabbed it and started to shimmy down. As he got to the bottom he let go and landed gracefully. As he straightened up the barricaded door was blown open with such force that it smashed through the window. Sora immediately started running.
