Sorry everyone for the spelling mistakes. Which I'm sure there are some. Sorry.

Sora and Riku arrived at The Lookout. It was a modern cafe. nothing unusual about it. It was just as it had always been. It. MEtal tables. tiled floor. on the ceiling there was a picture of a key inside a heart. Sora had seen that in a dream somewhere, so when Axel asked the kids if they wanted to paint the ceiling, Sora knew what to put up there. It had always made him feel sae, lke when he was with Riku. They walked to the back of the counter and saw Axel. Standing there looking particularly bored. He glanced at the two of them, and then saw the color of Sora's pants leg. HE sighed. Sora always managed to get hurt in some way. He had known him ever since he was little. then again, it used to be a different reason.

"C'mon Sora. Lets go clean that up... Riku you go wait for the others." said Axel as he pulled Sora to the back room. "Honestly Sora. NOw you have now exuse for being hurt I everyime I see you. I just don't get how you do it. I mean, honestly. Think before you move! In fact, maybe you would be better off if you didn't move." Sora giggled. Axel had watched this boy grow up, but in truth he didn't act any different from the innocent little giggling kid he used to be. Even at the age of 14, Axel still saw the little 6 year old in hiim. Hey, he had kept his hair the same way. He just had an older face. Axel smiled and laughed also. 'Sora, if there is one thing I don't want to happen to you is for you to be corrupted. You truly are lucky. Changing you.. I don't want to see the end result' thought Axel as he aplied a bandage to Sora's knee. He saw a small white scar, but kept it to himself. He didn't want to open a closed book. "Okay, you can borrow a pair of uniform pants. Which really should go to my employees who never seem to show up..." and Soralaughed and jumped off the table. He ran out to greet the others. 'Sora... don't change...'

"SORA! What took you so long?" cried Tidus. Sora slapped the hand of the blond boy. Riku smirked.

"He got hurt. Again." the others laughed.

"Sora C'mon Man! How many times you going to get hurt in one day?" laughed Wakka. Sora blushed and sat down to the burger the others had ordered from him from th only oother worker besides Axel. Yuffie. He loved paoupu burgers. There was nothing in the world like them. The savory paoupu fruit. He had remembered his first one. The one he had shared with Riku.

/Flashback/

"SORA! SORA LOOK WHAT I FOUND!" cried th little 8 year old. His short silver hair trendily spiked. The brunette's naturally that way. Sora looked at the yellow fruit quisically. He had only seen this star shaped deliquecy once. In his school trext book. It was their island's national fruit. Where did Riku find one?

"Is that a paoupu fruit?" questoined Sora tilting his head to the side. Riku giggled.

"Yup! You know that tree I like? It just suddenly had these all over them! But this one was the biggest and the ripest! C'mon! I here if you share it with someoen, your destinies are intertwined!" Sora blushed.

"Are you sure you want your to be intertwined with mine Ku?" asked Sora nervously. He had ever thought that someone would ever. Ever. Want to share their destiny with him. Not even Riku.

"Yes silly! I can't think of anyonre else I'd rather share this with! You are my best friend. I love you." Sora blushed deeper.

"Shucks. Your my best friend too Riku. I love you also." He grinned and they hugged. They climbed to the top of the tree as the sun began to set.

"Ready?" asked Riku excitedly. Sora nodded enthusiastically. Riku split the fruit in two. "One. Two. THREE!" and they both bit into the fruit.

They sat in the tree, watching the sun set.

"Riku. You won't ever leave me will you? We'll always be together, right?" asked Sora. Riku smiled.

"I promise Sora, I won't ever leave you. We will always be together. I promise. Foever and ever." he pulled Sora into a hug. Sora smiled contenly with Riku's words. 'Forever and ever' and slowly fell asleep in hjis best friends grasp. Forever and ever... together. Him and Riku.

/End Flashback/

Sora smiled remembering. After that an entire grove of the trees had been found. AS expected the small island was quite happy. So they sat and ate. All together. Sora not really listening. He was staring at Riku and he every once and again nodded his head absentmindedly. He was remembering the happy times. Eventually his plate emptied and Riku checked his watch.

"I gotta go. My mom wants me home early. Ehhh... Sora can you walk home on you own? I gotta go." Sora blinked out of his trance. When had Riku's mom said that she wanted him home early? Sora had been there when Riku came over. HE blinked again. He just must've missed it. Still, he didn't mind going home early.

"It's ok Riku. I can go now. Let's go." Riku stopped.

"No Sora. I don't want to keep you from a good evening. I can just go home now. You stay. Really, its ok. Its seriously fine." HE started backing up to the door.

"But Riku are you sure? I really don't mind..." Riku cut him off quickly.

"No. I don't to keep you from a goo evening. Just go with the others. I'll be fine." and he left. 'Is Riku getting tired of me? Is there a reason he doesn't want me to follow him? Am I...in the way?' Sora looked down and pouted a little. Tidus capped his back cheerfully.

"Don't worry about Riku. You'll be fine with us. We're going to go see a movie." Sora bightened.

"What movie?" and then the whole argument about what to watch started. Sora, lost in the conversation forgot what he was thinking about before. Something to do with Riku... something that was impossible. What was it again? HE couldn't remember. So he shrugged and joined the conversation again.

Riku ran home. Something about Sora. Something how he felt was changing inside him. Ever since that day. What was happening? He could barely be alone woth Sora anymore. What was wrong with him? Sora was his friend. Why was he abandoning him? What was going on inside of him? What was different about Sora? OR... was it something different about himself. He couldstill remember the day wen he felt the first change.

Blood everywhere.Shivering in a corner half nacked. Blood. Shvering. Screaming out every 10 seconds. "Sora?" He knew it was wrong but he couldn't help but admire his young friend's body...

Of course, back then he could ignore it. He was 12 after all. But revently. He couldn;t help but get this feeling. And his... lower area... He didn't want to think about it. He wanted to just go asleep. Stop thing about it. What was wrong with him? What was wrong with everything? What was wrong?

StormyWeasel: Ok, still not tha tlong. BUt originally I wasn't going to have th Riku part. So I actually made it longer! YAY ME! Hurray! Anyways. It was kinda obviouse whats happening. O, and when they said "I love you" in the flash back. They meant as best friend. Not... as in love love. Just as in... like love? I dunno. I got the forever and ever idea from Miracle Worker. Also, the reason Sora can never remember is not shotr term memory loss. Its just that he doesnt really want to think about it. He doesn't really want to even remember the idea. So when he gets distracted, he unconciously pushes it to nthe back of his mind. Sora is kinda a little kid. I'm going to explor how the group feels about him in later chapters. But its kinda obviouse. (I hope) by how hes being so babied and how every orders for him and stuff. HOw childish he act. etc. I hope people get it. Thanks again to --. I hope you liked this chapter! (Yawn) I'm tired now. good night!
