Much love to my lovelies! Thy names that be given by themselves be nurseangel, Riku-stalker, and Chilly Academic. And I know that this story's sorta short. And I don't really want to put legal issues in here 'cuz I know nothing about them. Heh-heh. Well, here's the chapter!

Riku had been at the pier for almost two days. And what a hell of a two days they were. The freezing cold, the icy spay of the ocean, and the fact that Axel could be doing who-knows-what to Sora made it even worse.

But then he heard the distinctive crunch-crunch of footsteps and turned around.

His eyes met the poison of Axel's. (A/N: I refer to poison as poison green.)

"Hey there, Riku. Hope you didn't have to wait long. I decided to be gracious to you and get you a day early. Isn't that nice of me?" His voice held a mocking tone.

"Where's Sora?" The drop-dead glare didn't escape Axel for a minute.

"My, my, my. You're very concise, aren't you? What'd you do? Rehearse?"

"Where's Sora?" he demanded again.

"Well if you'd just stop interrupting my train of thought, I'd take you to him. But now I think you're too snippy, so I change my mind." He had already turned around when he heard Riku call after him.

"No!"

Axel responded with a deep chuckle and answered without bothering to turn around.

"Then you'd better apologize to me. Nicely I might add. And with the works: 'Please, Axel, I'm sorry I was such a jerk. Could you ever forgive me? Please? Pwetty pweez? Pwetty pweez with a chewwy (cherry) on towp (top)?' Just like Sora would say it." Riku could hear the travesty in his voice.

"You bastard."

"Ah, ah, ah. You won't ever get to see Sora again with that potty mouth of yours."

Riku let out an irate sigh. "Fine. I'm Sorry, Axel. Could you ever forgive me? Pretty please with a cherry on top." Riku seemed to choke on each syllable.

"That's good enough I suppose." Axel then turned around. "Follow me."

And he dashed away.

Riku stood there for half a second and then ran after him. He had caught up with Axel in just a few seconds. Being the star of every sports team had its high points.

When they finally stopped, they were panting in front of a car.

"Alright then. Ladies first."

And Axel shoved Riku into the car, got in the driver's seat, and sped away.

Hey. This chapter's supposed to be longer. But I don't want it to be. The rest of it will be for another chapter. So that means that there are now, like, four chapters left. Okay. Bye now!
