Woohoo! It's yet another update! Now I know some of you were confused at the last chapter. Don't you worry, there won't be many chapters from Leon and Cloud's point of view, as this is mainly a Sora and Riku story. I had to put it in there, because there is a Leon and Cloud sort of backstory thingy.

So! Thank you so much for all the reviews! And, because this story had reached over 100 reviews, I dedicate this chapter to all those who have reviewed so far! You guys rule!

So, thanks to:

xmortyx: cloud IS easy, and that's not just because he was tied down 0.0 heh… thank you!

Sephyandme: I decided the story needed spicing up. Smexiness it was! Thanks!

Mecuryrose: you are a strange child. Thank you!

xXxRiku-chanxXx: yup. That button gives out my super duper double chocolate chip cookies that never melt, no matter how hot the story gets! -Winks- thanks!

The New Shinigami Hikari: yup. Sexiness! And cookies. Ooooh, maybe I should combine the two… heh. Thank you!

DashAway: heh. Sure! Just make sure you don't fall off! Because then you will hit your head and I will have to use my magic powers to make you better, and I don't have that many powers to go around! Thanks!

Burnt.icecream: here's an update for you! Since you reviewed! Thankies!

Aya Kurayami: yeah… but he loved it! Thanks!

Shocker2110: thanks –blush- it's nothing…really… .Lemon in the morning, I have to agree with that one! Hahaha! And, Riku has his beautiful eyes on someone else hehehe… thanks!

Egnima: ok. Cloud is not exactly the same as in FF7. His story is set after the events in the game. In other words, Cloud kept fighting in Zack's name. I put Aeris in as one of the teachers, but that's because she survived the game. Don't ask. Tis quite confusing at the minute. But, yeah, he was a soldier of war, hired out by the national army. And, to add to the confusion, Cloud doesn't remember Aeris. Thanks, I hope to clear things up soon!

XicyXroseX: heya! Damn right I would have never let you read it you dirty girl 0.0 thankies!

hyperRme: so glad you like it! There is mystery and smexiness, but not for Riku yet! Meh, there will be soon. I think… yeah. Thanks!

Oro-sama: shit! I knew this would happen! Look, there won't be many chapters like this! Trust me, this is a mainly Riku and Sora story. The Leon and Cloud thing is in the background. Don't worry about it. I hope I haven't put you off. –sweatdrops- thanks!

Avalon: omg! You actually took the time to read through all of my story? SERIOUSLY? I'm so honored. –Wipes tear from eye- honestly. Thank yooooou!

Sikomi: thanks. Really. It means a lot to me that you guys even read it! Much less review it! Thanks!

Kyra: I don't think that's necessary ...heh… -sweatdrops- I think we all know Riku has the hots for Sora. And it's a shame about Cloud, but it can't be helped due to my sick mind XD. Thank you!

Darkstar And Lightstar: I…take it you like cookies? Review again and I shall give you more my child! Mwahahaha!

Rose-in-may: hey, I like your user name! It's so perdyficated! Thanks for reviewing!

Mizu Hikari: here ya go! –Gives cookie- thanks for reviewing!

Thanks! Enjoy, and please review my children!

Riku: Bastard Dads And Personal Statements, creamy!

"Awww, come on out Sora. I bet you look perdy…" I knew the kid voice annoyed him. I could hear him grumbling away in the closet. "Listen Sora, if you don't lemme see then I'm going to turn the light off in there!"

Finally a response. A squeak and a ruffle accompanied by Sora tumbling out of the closet.

Oh god.

He blushed and his hand came up to scratch the back of his head absentmindedly. I stuttered as I spoke. "S-Sora, will you…s-stand up?"

And he did. The black cotton clung round his curves and the white shirt hung loose over his shoulders. His hair was ruffled. A pout became apparent on his face, but I hardly noticed.

"R-Riku? you're staring."

I swallowed hard. "Y-Your tie isn't straight."

I could have kicked myself. Your tie isn't straight? What kind of a response is that? "Is the underwear ok?"

He made a face. I chuckled. "Well, it could be worse."

He tilted his head onto his shoulder. "How?"

"You could be wearing G-strings…"

"What are they?"

I decided to abandon that conversation right there. There was no way I was explaining the complex workings of female underwear to sweet little Sora. No way. "So, anyway, Kairi will do your make up tomorrow. K?"

He nodded. "I'll go and show Leon!"

"NO!" he was surprised, but I couldn't let him go in there yet, no matter what. He was just not allowed to see that sort of thing.

"Hey, what do you say we go to the music rooms? You're free until personal and social studies at 3, right? I'll have to introduce you to Tidus. He's an awesome drummer. We play at school talent shows and stuff." He seemed to take it. At least he wasn't questioning me about underwear anymore.

"Really? Why don't you do anything more?" That really got me thinking. Why didn't we? I guess we were just lazy. Ha. We made our own music and everything, and we had won every talent show to date, but we couldn't be bothered to take it up. Besides, there were only two of us anyway.

"I don't know. Coming?" I watched him look down at himself. Man, he was cute! He tugged at his skirt and gasped.

"Let me get dressed first!"

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"Hey Shadow." I patted the dog with my left hand, my right hand fumbling with the amp socket. I was trying to balance the guitar on my lap at the same time. It was like juggling fire. I could feel the guitar sliding off my frictionless jeans. I bit my bottom lip as I hurried to plug in the amp. I dared a glance upwards. Sora was eyeing the guitar on my lap. It slipped. Sora dived to catch it with both hands, resulting in him losing balance and falling over. My eyes widened as I looked at him. He had managed to catch it, but his other hand had slipped.

"S-Sora?"

He was frozen, staring at the hand he had let slip into my crotch. I bit back a gasp, probably a moan actually, that was itching at the back of my throat as he took his hand away. He felt so nice. I shook my head and looked over to Tidus, who gave me the thumbs up. I was about to start playing when the door flung open.

"RIKU!"

Ugh. The fan girls. They flung themselves to different seats of the room. Normally, I would have told them to fuck off, but I wanted to play my new song so bad! Two figures clad in leather and ripped fabric entered. Leon took a seat next to Sora and Cloud snuggled up to his arm. Leon remained unresponsive.

I grinned and waved, but not goofily. Jeez, I didn't want Sora to think I was a complete moron. And so, I started strumming, the music flowing form the ends of my fingertips. I closed my eyes, finding my muse for the music. It came to me, as it always did. I played out the first section, before letting the words escape my throat.

I see no, hear no evil,

Black writings on the wall,

Unleashed a million faces,

And one by one they fall,

The beat kicked in. I looked back at Tidus, keeping to the rhythm and letting the music take over him. Sora was in awe. Heh. So he should be! The words got harsher, so my voice changed with the tone.

Black-hearted evil,

Brave-hearted hero,

I am all, I am all I am,

Tidus begun his background singing. It added harmony. He was also entranced by the fact that Yuna had her eyes on him, and him alone.

I, I, I, I am!

Here we go buddy, here we go buddy, here we go, here we go buddy, here we go…

I took a deep breath.

Go ahead and try to see through me, do it if you can,

Do it if you dare!

One step forward, two steps back now

I'm here...

Do it, do it, do it, do it!

Ha. My favorite part. And Sora was already taken in.

Can you see all of me?

Walk into my mystery,

Step inside and hold on for dear life…

Do you remember me?

Capture you or set you free,

I am all, I am all of me…

I am all, I am all of me!

I am...
I am everyone, everywhere, anyhow, any way, any will, any day...
I am...
I am everyone, everywhere, anyhow, any way, any will, any day...
I am! I am! I am!
I am! I am! I am!

I am!

Do it, do it, do it, do it!

My fingers plucked and strummed. To anyone else, their fingers would have been hurting by now, but I was an expert at this, if I do say so myself.

Can you see all of me?

Walk into my mystery,

Step inside and hold on for dear life…

Do you remember me?

Capture you or set you free,

I am all, I am all of me…

I am all, I am all of me!

I am... I am, I'm all of me.
I am... I am, I'm all of me.
I am... I am, I'm all of me.

HERE WE GO!

They loved the scream.

I see and feel the evil,
My hands will crush 'em all.
You think you have the answer,
Well I laugh and watch you fall!

Black-hearted evil
Brave-hearted hero
I am all, I am all I am...

Here we go buddy,
Here we go buddy,
Here we go.
Here we go buddy,
Here we go.

Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mystery,
Step inside and hold on for dear life.

Do you remember me?
Capture you or set you free,
I am all, I am all of me.

I am, I am all of me!

I am, I am all of me...

I pulled out the last note, being careful not to fuck it up. I slowed the strumming on my guitar and listened to it fade out, Tidus drumming the last few notes. They went wild.

Among the whistles and applauds, there was a loud cough. Shit. My dad stood at the door. I hurriedly put down the guitar and yanked shadow back by the collar. He didn't know any better, he knew I hated my dad, so naturally, he did too. I think the same went for Sora, who frowned at him.

"Dad."

The girls cleared out. So did Leon and Cloud. Sora was reluctant to go, but Leon made sure he went. He came up close to me. I expected the back hand slap across my face, so it didn't hurt that much. I carried on looking at him. He did the same with me; only, he had played this game and lost. He gave up trying to stare me out and took a step back from me, observing me from a distance.

"You know you shouldn't be in here. And I told you to stay away from that Sora girl. She's a bad influence on you."

I cringed. "Dad, she's my friend." I had to listen to him mock me and laugh. When the laughter subsided, he gave me a sigh and replied, "Why Sora? I'm sure that miss. Rinoa Heartily is a perfect match, erhm, I mean friend for you."

I turned away from him. I couldn't listen to him take over my life much longer. Although, I guess it was the wrong thing to do in the end. The belt made a whipping noise as it cut through the air and cracked my back. I let out a cry. That one hurt. I wasn't expecting him to do that. After a couple more hits, my back was leaking blood. Not a lot, mind you.

He smiled a victorious smile. "There. Now don't you feel like a better person Riku?"

I gave him a mock smile. He took up my guitar and slung it over his shoulder. He left soon after. I stretched, my back stinging. I decided to go up to my room. Sora would come when he was done with personal and social studies, I was sure of it.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

FUCK!" no matter how much I tried to reach, I couldn't. I didn't hear the door creak open either. I heard a small gasp. I spun around, and came face to face with a nest of brown fur. I looked down and saw it was Sora, fumbling with his feet.

"Are you ok?"

He took a step backwards. "What happened to your back?" I shrugged. I wasn't about to make a big deal bout it. "My dad got stressed. It was my fault though. I shouldn't have even been there."

"Oh. I see."

I pushed a pot of ointment into his hands. "Here, put this on for me will ya?"

I sat back down. I gasped a little when I felt his cold hands on my back. "S-So… Sora, what did you do it persocia?"

I felt his hands hesitate on my back. "Persocia?"

"Yeah, it's a shortened version of personal social."

"Oh yeah. That's why I came down. We have to fill out a personal statement. About me… but Leon was taking the mickey out of me. So I thought I would do it here. And besides, I have no pen."

"You thought you had to come and ask me to help?" I replied. "Sora, I'll glad. But you have to read it out loud. Don't worry; I won't take the piss outta ya."

His hands were of my back for a minute as he got his pen ready, resuming the circles with his left hand. His hands were so small. It was weird.

"Ok. Number one, what is you age? Well. 16. Of course."

I heard the scratching of the pen on the paper. "Gender?...well… that has to be female…"

I was lost in the feeling of his busy hands. I just listened to his rambelings.

"Do you play sports? Kind of. I can play football. I play that sometimes. Yes."

"Let's see. Music? No, I'm rubbish at music. No"

"Ever rode in an aeroplane? No"

"Do you paint? Hell yeah! I love painting! Yes"

"Can you swim? Ugh…no. no"

"You can't swim?

"Huh?" I thought he'd be good at that sort of thing.

"No…it can't…"

"Ok."

"Pets? No"

"Solving problems? Me? Jeez… yes"

And the list continued. I closed my eyes. The stinging in my back had gone. Fuck, it was replaced by this feeling of heaven. He'd put down the sheet, and was now concentrated on my back. MY back. I felt his hands touch my hips. I shuddered. I liked that. I shook my head. What was I thinking? Oh but, it felt soooo good. I squeezed my eyes shut. He stopped. Fuck! Why did he stop! I slowly opened my eyes and met with Sora's. He was crouched in front of me.

"Are you ok? I've finished."

I sighed and slung my shirt loosely around my shoulders. He turned, to leave.

"Wait Sora."

What was I going to say? Stay the night? We can do whatever you want? You look really cute when you look at me like that? I couldn't say anything. The only thing that came out of my mouth in a harsh raspy voice was, "Want to play some video games for a bit?"

He smiled. "Maybe tomorrow. I have some homework to do. Sorry Riku."

I sighed. I ran a hand through his hair. "Sure. It's ok."

I pulled him close in a hug. I didn't want to let go. I hugged his shoulders and I felt his arms cautiously slide around my waist. I sighed. I breathed in the sweet smell of his hair, stroking it with one hand. We didn't look like friends embracing like this. We looked like lovers.

Strange.

Ok. Another chapter done. This one seems longer than the others. That is because I had a lot to put in and I wanted to make it special to celebrate 100+ reviews! It's also because I put the song in there, which isn't mine by the way. It's the song from the into to Shadow the Hedgehog the game, by Crush 40. This is also where I got the dog name from. I am totally obsessed with this game at the minute, so yay to anyone who recognizes it! I also didn't want him to sing a depressing song, because he isn't depressed. He is just cool, smexy Riku. I put Tidus in, because at first, I was going to put Paine (FFX-2) in as the drummer, but then I realized that more people would know what I was going on about if I put Tidus in there instead.

Nothing much else to say.

Questions, suggestions and reviews are all welcomed.

Please review! –gives cookies and roses- I don't bite! (Unless you want me to)
