"Who's that?" Axel asked, peering over his shoulder.
"Must be some new kid." Roxas said with a shrug.
Kairi now turned to, and glared. "It's Sora's friend," She mumbled. "Boy, does he look completely lost. I wonder if Sora…?" She smiled, then crossed her arms.
"Sora's friend?" Axel asked, raising his brows. "Hey! You!" Axel yelled, waving.
The silver headed teen turned around, and sheepishly stared at them. Of course, he was confident, but only around people he knew. Otherwise, he was pretty quiet.
Axel and Roxas made their merry way over to the teen, Axel skipping and Roxas trotting behind, embarrassed.
They were in a small neighborhood along the lines of the city, it was about nine in the morning. Riku actually couldn't believe anyone would be up at this time, but..
"Uhh.. Hey.." Riku said, averting his eyes from the pair, looking completely confused.
Kairi walked slowly behind, now caught up with the pair.
"Whatcha doin' out here?" Axel asked, looking around. "Anything.. In particular you're looking for?"
Riku nodded, biting his lip.
Kairi tilted her head, not used to seeing him so quiet. "What's the matter, anyway?"
Riku rolled his eyes. "It's not like you care, so don't bother to ask."
"Hmph, Fine." Kairi said icily.
"Really, come on, tell us." Roxas said, staring at him.
"A warehouse. I'm looking for a Warehouse." Riku replied, still looking at the ground.
"Anything, specific?" Roxas asked.
Riku shrugged, looking behind him once more. The threesome turned and looked too, wondering what he was looking at.
"Kensington.. Warehouse." He muttered.
"Ohh.." Roxas and Axel said at the same time, confused.
"No idea." Roxas shrugged.
"Not in the least." Axel added.
"I know where it is." Kairi said huffily, crossing his arms.
Riku's face lit up instantly, practically melting the cruel feelings from her heart. Then he gloomed up once again, staring at the ground.
"Gah.. Uhm.. Well, I guess I could.. Tell you.. But only if.. You apologize!" Kairi yelled, nodding to herself.
Riku blinked, scratching the back of his head.
"Sorry..?"
"Okay, that's good. LET'S GO!" Kairi said triumphantly, now heading out of the street.
Axel, Roxas, and Riku shrugged, following the strange red-headed girl.
"Women," Axel said, rolling his eyes. "I'm so glad I have you, Roxas." Axel said, obviously lying.
"Knock it off Axel," Roxas said gloomily, head down.
Riku cocked a brow at the pair, unsure if he would make it through this day. Wasn't the redhead Sora's friend? He shuddered, blandly staring at him as he practically skipped along in his black trench coat.
Oh yes.
It would be a long day.

Kairi tapped her foot impatiently on the dirt surrounding the front of the warehouse.
Rust had slowly destroyed the two doors since Riku and Sora had last been there, now they were hanging open, anything or anyone could get it.
Riku turned to the three, shoving his hands in his pockets. "And this," He said finally, "Is as far as you guys go. Thanks for helping me find it, but I've gotta go solo from here. So uhhh.. Bye." He slightly waved, and started to walk in.
"Wait a minute!" Kairi said suddenly, grabbing Riku's shirttail. "You had better tell us why you're coming here."
"Yeah, this place has been closed down for a long time.." Roxas piped up, Axel nodding.
Riku swallowed hard, staring at the three. "Okay, the truth.." He said shakily, nodding to them. "I guess you deserve to know it."
The three of them nodded, staring intently.
"I was so angry.." He said, hands shaking.
The three stared in shock.
"Did you kill Sora?!?" Kairi screamed, backing away.
"What..? No-- I mean.. LOOK! IT'S SORA!" Riku pointed suddenly, eyes widening.
Thee three teenagers turned, Riku quickly slipping into the warehouse and running down one of the corridors, vanishing out of sight in the darkness.
"That's not Sora!" Kairi spat, turning to find Riku had vanished.
"Nope." Roxas agreed.
"I think it's a goose." Axel said, eyes squinting.
"You… What? Oh wait.. Yeah, that is a goose." Roxas nodded.
"Guys! He's gone!" Kairi yelled, turning the two to face the warehouse.
"Obviously." Roxas said.
"We've got to go in! We've got to see if Sora is in there, and if that maniac Riku is going to try and kill him, we've got to stop him!"
"Yeah!" Roxas and Axel agreed in unison.
"Well, quit standing here and let's go in!" Kairi snapped, hopping over the rusted doors and walking inside.
Axel blinked, then grabbed Roxas's hand. "Whooo! Let's go!" He grinned, jumping over the doors, dragging Roxas behind, who's face was completely flushed.

Riku walked through the next corridor, breathing heavily. He suddenly wasn't so sure of this, 'run in, kick everybody's ass and save the damsel in distress'… Aka, Sora.
Coming to a sudden halt, he realized he'd walked through a spider's web. He brushed it off in annoyance, and started to walk again, when all footing gave out under him, and he slammed on his back.
"What the hell..?" He gritted his teeth, searching around in the dark for the thing that had tripped him.
He hated not being able to see. His fingers slowly moved over to something soft, stringy feeling. Riku moved his hand up, discovering a..
Leg..?
"AIIIEEEEE!!! AXEL, ROXAS, HELPPP!!" Kairi's shrill voice sounded, kicking Riku right in the face.
"WHAT THE HELL, STUPID WHORE!! MY EYE!!" Riku yelled, rolling back and slamming into the wall.
A light came thundering through the hallways, and then stopped.
"It's just Riku." Axel said with a shrug, Roxas clinging to him.
Roxas slowly inched away from him, a blush covering his face. "I.. Uh, I knew that.. Hee hea.. Ha.." He laughed nervously, feeling like an idiot.
"Then what was all that screaming about Dracula, earlier?" Axel asked, eyebrows raised.
"Wha.. SHUT UP!" Roxas screamed, jumping back from him and slamming into the wall in his blind rage.
Axel tilted his head. "Ohh.. I get it."
Roxas blinked as Axel wrapped his arms around him in a giant hug. "I'll protect you from the 'monsters'!" He said defiantly with a snigger.
In the meantime, Riku and Kairi had been staring at the pair.
"Uhh.. Right. Well," Riku said suddenly, not sure how to deal with everyone. "Since everyone is.. Actually, I have no idea what to say." He stood up, brushing dirt off of his pants. "I need to keep going, you guys need to get the hell out. NOW." He commanded angrily.
"No!" Kairi yelled angrily, shoving him. "We care about Sora, so we're going to look with you, no matter what you say. We'd follow you to the ends of the Earth if we had to!"
"Wow. You guys are a little too.. Creepy.. For my tastes." Riku said, backing from the four of them, and slamming into someone.
"What the hell! Did you invite more people?!" Riku snarled, slamming his fist on the wall.
"Wha-.." Roxas squeaked, now clinging to Axel, whose mouth hung agape.
Kairi shrieked, turning and running past everyone, and Riku finally had the gall to turn around and stare face to face with a woman who was missing his jaw. She made a gurgling noise, grabbing a hold of Riku's throat and slamming him backwards into Axel and Roxas.
Axel pulled a lighter from the pocket of his trench coat, along with some hairspray.
Riku sat at Axel's feet, too shocked to move, and Roxas shivered, unable to move.
Axel flicked on the lighter and sent a flurry of flames at the woman, who spewed blood all over the threesome, and ran from them.
Roxas's face was utterly pale as he took off his jacket, shaking it and trying to get the blood off. Riku sat at their feet still, heart speeding through his chest.
"Answer me.. One question.." Roxas said breathlessly, feet frozen to their spot.
Axel put the can of hairspray in his jacket, and turned to Roxas, staring questionably. "Yeah?"
"Wha.. Why do you have.. HAIRSPRAY in your jacket pocket?"
"Uhh.. Have you seen my hair?" He said, rolling his eyes as he pointed to his spiked to perfection, hair.
"Nevermind." Roxas said. "But thanks.. You save our lives.." He mumbled, clinging to the tall boy.
Axel shrugged. "Naw, it'll probably come back. But thanks." He grinned, patting Roxas's head.
"Don't. Say. That." Riku said suddenly, breathing heavily.
Axel and Roxas looked down, blinking.
Riku got up slowly, brushing off once more. "Wait.. Where's the scrawny bitch?"
Axel and Roxas stared in confusion.
"Kairi?" Riku suggested, shrugging.
"Oh yeah.." Roxas said suddenly, looking around.
"Did she run off when that thing showed up?" Axel asked, crossing his arms.
Riku blinked. "D'aw crap.." He hissed, rubbing his temples. "We've gotta save her and Sora now.."
"Sora's here?" Roxas asked.
Riku rolled his eyes, "Yeah. And apparently now, Kairi's here. We have to save them. Now, come on."
"What happened to, 'flying solo'?" Axel asked, grinning.
Riku growled, walking past them.
"Wait!" Roxas yelled, walking quickly.
Axel followed, looking unafraid and a bit irritated.
Kairi, Kairi, Kairi.. His mind growled. Would Roxas ever see him?
