Eclipse: By the way, this chapter is in Riku's POV!

"...Riku?"

I didn't respond as I sat in my room, on my bed that was against the corner of two of my four walls. I leaned against the wall, staring out blankly, looking at the wooden sword that was now hanging off of hooks on the opposite wall.

Freash tears started to pour down my cheeks as I remembered my fights with Sora, my good times with Sora... How I'd fallen for Sora. I had only been back for five months. We had only been reunited for 5. MONTHS.

I bit my lip, closing my eyes tightly, burying it into my knees. I felt helpless. My best friend... He was gone. Forever. And unlike me... He isn't coming back fromt he darkness.

"Riku... Come on... Say something... Can I at least come in?"

I bit back a sob, and coughed.

"Y-yes... You... You can come in, Tidus..."

The blonde slowly opened the door, stepping in. He rubbed his neck slowly.

"S-Selphie's here too... Do you want her to come in?"

Riku nodded slowly, though he didn't really care. Tidus nodded, walking towards the boy, sitting next to him. Selphie sat on the other side of the distressed silver-haired teen.

Riku's tears were falling hard, like a crystal statue crying it's contents onto the floor; pieces of its heart, breaking, bit by bit.

Riku closed his eyes again, leaning his head against the wall, letting out a shaky breath.

"Oh god, Sora..."

Selphie looked at Riku sadly, not knowing what to say. Tidus leaned forwards a bit.

"I'm not good with... Giving advice... Or anything, but... You need to keep coming to school. You can't skip. We only have school twice a week, but you need to keep coming."

Riku nodded slowly, sniffling again.

"I know... "

Riku lowered his head down sadly, looking at the ground.

"But... It's just so hard for me, y'know? I'm not really me right now... I am but... It's not the way I normally am... With Sora dead, i'm just... I'm...."

Riku started to cry again, not holding back his tears at all. Tidus and Selphie said nothing, just continued sitting there; even they had begun to cry a bit. Innocent, happy Sora...

"Without Sora..."

The two looked up at Riku again. Riku glanced at the two and smiled weakly.

"Without Sora I'm completely alone."

Selphie sat up straight.

"You're not!"

Riku nodded.

"I am. I'm not alone in the sense of having friends, but Sora is the only one who i've cried to. He's the only one i've cried for... He's the only one who I feel comfortable with, allowing them to hold me in their arms while I cry."

He looked at Selphie sadly, smiling in despair.

"Face it... I'm alone."

NEXT DAY...

"You gonna be alright?"

"I'm fine."

Riku sat in his desk at the small school; there was only two bathrooms, a gym, lockers, locker rooms, and three classrooms. The office was detached; it was a small building outside that used to be for storage.

"Alright guys, thanks for waiting, sit down, sit down!" The teacher, whom of which Riku did not believe actually got the job, walked into the room, his red hair swishing behind him somewhat. Axel looked up, his face serious.

"Now, i'm sure all of you all know that something depressing has happened a few days ago. If you know what I am talking about, then stay silent. If you don't know- stay silent. I do not advise talking about this in front of anyone; for you never know if it would upset someone. Especially if they were close to the subject of which I speak."

Axel glanced at Riku, who felt a tightening in his chest. He gritted his teeth; he was not going to cry in front of all of these people....

The door opened gently, and a figure stepped into the room. Axel smiled, nodding, waving her to the front.

"Alright! This is our new student, uh.... Please say your name and say hello to the class!"

The class sweat-dropped; it was just like him to forget the new student's names.

"The

The girl looked up at the class and some various gasps were heard. Her eyes were a stunning, rich cobalt blue, and were wide and shining with innocence and curiousity. Her hair was brown and spiked out, and was ony about shoulder-length.

She swallowed, and saw Riku, and her eyes widened as he stared at her. His mouth was hanging slightly open, his aquamarine eyes wide.

"She... Looks just like..."

"My name... My name is... Ako... Ako Harada...."

Riku's eyebrows flew up; That was Sora's last name!

Axel nodded, pointing out to the class.

"Alright Ako, you can sit next to Riku. He's the silver-haired boy there."

Riku blinked as Ako nodded, slowly walking towards her desk. The guys stared at her as she walked by, her thin but muscular legs, arms, and body in general mesmerizing them. She set her bag on the ground, sitting down.

She looked to the front as the teaching began and Riku blinked, looking back down at his desk. He found a blank piece of paper and scribbled on it, throwing it at her desk.

She looked at it, opening it quietly and reading it.

"Were you adopted by the Haradas? -Riku"

She wrote down her reply, tossing it back to the boy. He opened it again, reading it.

"No."

He wrote back, utterly confused.

"Then how are you living with them?"

"I know about Sora."

Riku blinked at this next reply; he was not expecting that.

"...How."

"Meet me after school, in the little cave at Destiny Islands. I have a lot to tell you."

Riku's eyes widened, and he stared at her; that was his and Sora's place! How the hell did she know about it?!

He looked down at the paper in confusion.

"...What kind of connection does Sora HAVE with her?!"

Carp: Hope you liked that one!
