NYMPHETAMINE

Thanks for the reviews, everyone! And as promised, the second chapter.

Alize Malixez: Sora's personality always seemed to come across to me as a "kinky but innocent" type. The ice cream thing comes from Roxas in KH2, seeing as Roxas loved ice cream so much.

YueYoukaiEclipse: Glad to hear you loved the name! I didn't want to use "Organization XIII" or anything like that, because not all of the Organization members are in Unstable. And then we have some that aren't from the Organization, too, like Riku for example. I would've liked to have all of the Organization members, but I haven't played through KH:CoM enough to be able to write all of the Organization member's characters. I would've loved to have Larxene and Marluxia in there, seeing as the only girl in the story seems to be Aerith.

Tysonkaiexperiment: I tried to make Sora full-goth, but in the final version of Nymphetamine, the closest he seems to get is the last line in the fanfiction. I tried to make his clothing style as unique as his character could handle, but Sora's personality would have to be completely changed in order to turn him fully goth. No matter what I do to Sora, I just can't stop some little bit of "normal" Sora from coming through.

Pain-is-better-than-nothing: Here you go!

Disclaimer: The phrase, "You know our sacred dream won't fail the sanctuary tender and so frail. The sacrament of love, the sacrament of warmth, is true. The sacrament is you," is from the song "The Sacrament" from the band H.I.M. I do not own the song or the band. The German sentences, ""Seid bereit für den Coup des Jahrhunderts. Seid bereit für den teuflichsten Pakt. Ich plan' es seit Jahren Jetzt gibt's Fraß Trotz allen Gefahren So ein Spaß Gerissen verbissen So viel Fraß Ganz ohne Gewissen So ein Spaß Als König gebohren zum Herrscher erkoren Erglänz' ich in all meiner Pracht," are from the German version of "The Lion King." I do not own "The Lion King" in any language. I do not own Riku, Sora, Roxas, Axel, Demyx or Zexion from Kingdom Hearts. I do not own Sephiroth, Cloud, Aerith, Kadaj, Yazoo, or Loz from Final Fantasy VII. I do not own Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII.

Chapter 2: Love's First Kiss

A mere 30 minutes later, Sora seemed to be a changed person.

Sora's nails were filed and painted black. His eyelashes seemed longer and fuller, lined with mascara. His eyes were lined with black eyeliner, and a dark blue eyeshadow rested on his lids, which complemented his eyes nicely. The tips of his hair were bright red, which contrasted against the brown strands. A silver pendant of a crown, held by a thick silver chain, decorated his neck. His black t-shirt bore a skull with blood splattered behind it; his pants were laced with chains, which criss-crossed behind the legs, circled around front and connected to the belt loops which currently held a black and silver belt with studs on it. The boots were worn but sturdy; the leather-made fingerless gloves seemed to be able to resist any force.

"I think we did good, brother," Kadaj commented. Sora blushed. Between laughs, Riku managed to cough out, "One part down, a few left to go."

Sora, normally, would have been shocked. But he learned that the surprises kept on coming. You change one thing, you change another, and another, until you become your own person.

"Now," Kadaj began, "It's time to discuss how to be yourself."

"...Isn't it easy?" Sora asked.

Riku shook his head. "Unfortunately, people always try to make you see their way. You have to learn to be yourself."

"But won't others think I'm weird?"

"You just don't pay any attention to them. As long as you like it, it's fine," Riku explained.

Kadaj managed to bring Sora into a controversial topic, Satanism. It would be one of the topics most influenced by other humans.

"Well done, Sora," Kadaj said. "Your opinion is a lot different than most others!"

"Thanks," Sora replied quietly.

"Sora, it's perfectly okay to have different opinions than other people. Remember, 'individuality'," Riku reminded.

The old grandfather clock down the hall strook 8 times. "Crap, it's 8 pm!" Sora panicked.

"Come on," Riku urged, "I'll take you home."

"Here are the keys, brother," Kadaj said, throwing the keys to Riku, who caught them expertly.

"Thanks, Kadaj!" Sora yelled, running down the hall. Riku just shook his head.

&&&&&&&

Sora stepped out of the car, Riku following suit. Riku knew that Sora's parents wouldn't be able to take it well, so he felt the need to be there. Riku patted Sora on the back. "You'll be fine. I'm here," he said in a comforting voice.

"Sora?" Aerith half-asked, half-yelled as the door opened. "Sora!"

Sora slapped his forehead with his hand.

"What did you do to my son?" the angry woman demanded.

Riku took a step back. "Please, I ask for a chance to explain the situation at hand," he said politely.

Aerith huffed and let the two boys into her warm, welcoming house. Riku took a seat next to Sora on the blue sofa.

"Now," Aerith began again. "What did you do to my son?"

"After dwelling on the thought for a while, Sora told me that he wanted to become goth," Riku said calmly. He did this with his own parents, not to mention Axel's, Demyx's and even Roxas'!

"I thought I raised you better than that," Aerith spoke to Sora.

"Mom," Sora said, "You didn't do anything wrong. I became this, because, well, I wanted to. This is who I am."

Riku let out a small smile. Sora was really getting the hang of this.

"Sora, you are grounded. Young man," Aerith paused, not knowing the other teen's name.

"Riku," Riku filled in the blank, smiling warmly.

"Riku, please leave," Aerith said as politely as she could. Inside, she was boiling over with rage and anger.

Riku nodded. "I understand, Mrs. Tenshi." He turned to Sora. "I'll see you at school then...?"

"Yeah," Sora said reassuringly.

&&&&&&&

Sora, in his gothic attire, walked into homeroom that morning. A series of gasps and wide-eyes began to annoy Sora. 'Ignore them; it doesn't matter what they think...' Sora thought, walking to the back corner of the room.

"Sora!" Riku yelled, getting the brunette's attention.

"Riku! You're in this homeroom?" Sora asked, surprised.

"Yeah...I guess I'm just quiet," Riku shrugged.

Sora couldn't even began to imagine it. Halfway through the school year, in the middle of winter, he just learned Riku was in his class. He was slightly stunned by the shock.

"What did she take away?" Riku asked, wanting to learn about Sora's punishment.

"Well...she grounded me," Sora began.

Riku nodded.

"She said that I couldn't watch TV, use the phone, or get on the computer for anything not related to school. I don't even really use the phone or watch TV anyway."

Riku laughed at that part. "Parents seem to think we're all about the television now."

"Oh my godz," Sora said. "Kidz are watchingz too much TVz...takez zemz awayz!"

Riku cracked up, tears flowing from his eyes.

"Hidari!" The teacher yelled.

"Here!" Riku yelled back in the same irritated tone the teacher had.

The bell rang; homeroom for the morning was over. "Sora!" Riku panted, catching up with Sora. "Wanna go to the mall tonight? It's Friday."

Sora thought for a second, a blush spreading across his cheeks. "Sure!"

&&&&&&&

Sora found Riku at the mall sitting with a group of other teenagers. "Sora!" Riku waved his arm in the air, getting the slightly hyper brunette's attention.

"Hey Riku...Who are these guys?"

"We are Unstable," someone, with long flowing hair that reached his ankles, answered.

"Unstable...?" Sora asked. "Why aren't you guys in juvenille hall then?"

The gang chuckled at Sora's ignorance. "The gang, Sora, is called Unstable," Riku explained. Sora's mouth formed an 'O' shape.

The man that answered Sora's question nodded, and the rest of the group took this as a sign to introduce themselves.

"I'm Yazoo," one with silver hair that reached his waist said.

A teenager with emo hair said his name was "Zexion".

A flaming red haired teenager said, "Axel." He squeezed a dirty-blonde male's waist. "He's my boyfriend, Demyx."

"Roxas," a boy wearing casual clothes nodded.

"Sephiroth," a man said, voice surprising Sora.

"Too much?" Riku asked.

"Yeah...How do you all know who's in your gang?" Sora asked.

Riku rolled up the left sleeve of his shirts and explained, "Each one of us has this brand on their left bicep."

"So, if I were to become part of Unstable," Sora began.

"Upside down cross," Yazoo cut in.

"As far as I'm concerned," started Kadaj, "You're already our brother. So, brother, how would you like to come to our hideout tonight after we finish here at the mall?"

Sora nodded, swallowing a nervous lump in his throat. "Sure."

Riku smiled, as did Sephiroth, Kadaj and Yazoo, although not for the same reasons.

An hour was spent at the mall, and the sun was setting. Sora and Riku were sitting outside on the sidewalk. "Sora," Riku began.

Sora cocked his head innocently.

"Sora...I...do you have any problem with homosexuals?" Riku blurted out.

"Why should I? It's love, no matter what," Sora answered.

Riku swallowed and kissed Sora on the lips.

Sora didn't register what was going on as his body went on autopilot. He returned the kiss, almost eagerly, wrapping his arms around Riku's neck. In turn, Riku pulled Sora closer by the waist. Sora's lips parted and Riku's tongue dashed in, eagerly exploring and memorizing every detail of Sora's mouth. Sora snapped back to reality when he felt a buldge press against him. Realizing suddenly the events that happened, he pulled away.

"Sora-I-I," Riku began, not being able to find the words he was desperately searching for.

"I'm going home," Sora said, running as fast as he legs could take him.

As he watched his love flee, tears, made black by his eyeliner, rolled down his cheeks. Shakily, he reached out his cell phone. "Kadaj? Could you pick me up?"

&&&&&&&

Half an hour later, Riku was sitting on the couch between Yazoo and Kadaj. "He was frightened," Yazoo hypothesized.

"But..." Riku said.

"Say no more, brother. For all we know, it could have been his first kiss. I wasn't expecting my first kiss to be shared with a guy, let alone our brother!" spoke Kadaj, smiling softly as Yazoo's face tinted red.

Meanwhile...

Cloud pulled Sora into a hug. "You alright, now?" Cloud asked.

Sora shook his head. "I'm really confused...why would he get like that? And over a kiss?"

Cloud smiled at Sora's cute smiling face. "It's just his thing, Sora. It's like Squall and bondage. You can't get one without the other."

Sora blushed crimson as Cloud walked out of the room laughing.

&&&&&&&

"Kadaj, Yazoo, it was not your place to be comforting Riku," Sephiroth said. "Likewise with Sora's brother...Cloud?"

Roxas nodded. He was sent to spy on Sora, unwillingly. In the end, he decided that he'd rather live than die with a blood gushing out his throat.

"But..." Kadaj began.

"They need to amend the relationship by themselves," Sephiroth explained. "If you comfort either of them, then the bond between them will grow out of our control. We won't be able to seperate them-"

"-So there would be no sacrifice?" Yazoo finished.

"Indeed. For now on, you do not comfort Riku and or Sora in any way. If I find out you have been doing so, the punishment is death."

"But wouldn't the bond be stronger if they tried to amend their relationship themselves?" Kadaj asked.

Sephiroth pinched the bridge of his nose. "No. If an outside resource helps them sort out their feelings, they will come to a mutual agreement and become stronger as a result. If they do it themselves, the bond will be weaker, due to the fact that they will constantly be considering the fact that the other could be lieing to them."

Zexion pinched the bridge of his nose. This was growing out of control...and fast.

-------------------------------------------------

Sorry it's a little on the short side, but I wanted to end it on Zexion. The next chapter is about twice as long as this, which is good news. You may have noticed that Sephiroth's logic is somewhat messed up, but all Sephiroth really wants is a sacrifice. Oh, and if you can't read what Sora's saying, it's, "Oh my god! Kids are watching too much TV! Take them away!"

For the next chapter, I want:
Three reviews.
