A loud banging resounded against and through the door, causing Mrs. Harada to turn. She walked over, opening the door and smiled as Riku came into view.

"Why hello, Riku. Are you here to see So-" She stopped herself, then smiled again, "Ako?"

Riku smiled and nodded, stepping in. He poked his head up the stairs, glaring playfully.

"Hurry up, or else i'll have to come up there and help you!"

"LIKE HELL!"

Riku snickered at her response, and he went and sat down on the couch. Not too long after, he heard pounding footsteps coming down the stairs, and he looked up, smiling at Ako.

"Hey."

Ako smiled, waving.

"Hi."

Riku stared at her, his eyes gazing at her up and down. Ako blushed a bit as Riku smiled. She was wearing a black tank top with spaghetti straps at the top, and light blue short shorts; she red sandals and red bag as well as her headband were all very complimenting accesories, as well as the old crown chain on her hip.

"Did you get the chain from Sora's room?"

Ako blinked, then nodded, remembering that her parent's didn't know that Riku knew about her being Sora.

"Y-Yeah... I thought it was cool, so..."

Riku smiled, taking her hand.

"It is. Let's go."

Ako smiled, and they left the house, calling out a brief goodbye as they did so. Mr. Harada turned to his wife, a scowl on his face.

"Our son... Is a homosexual?"

She sighed, shaking her head.

"He is a full-blown girl now. So technically- he's straight."

Mr. Harada growled, leaning back, muttering something about how confusing and annoying this all was. Mrs. Harada just shook her head, looking out the window to see Ako laughing at something Riku had said. A soft smiled crawled onto her lips.

"As long as she's happy, right?"

"Akoooo!!! Riiikkuuuuu!!! Over heeerreee!!!"

The two looked up from the boat they were in to see Selphie jumping around on the island shore, in her short black swim shorts and bikini top, much to Tidus' embarassment as well as pleasure.

Ako smirked.

"Looks like Tidus is pretty happy."

Riku laughed.

"Kinky."

They reached the shore, tying their boat to the dock and came onto the island shore, where Selphie happily tackled Ako in a bear hug.

"HIIIII!!! I missed youu!!"

Ako coughed, pushing her off.

"Y-You talked to me yesterday! And saw me yesterday! And MET me yesterday!"

Selphie smiled.

"I KNOW, ISN'T IT GREAT?!"

Everyone sweat-dropped as she stepped back, smiling.

"Okay, are you already wearing your swimsuit?"

Ako nodded, blushing. Selphie smiled.

"Then strip off the outer layer and let's go SWIM!!!!"

Ako blushed at her choice of words, and glanced back at Riku, giving him a glare that said 'stare-and-die'.

She slowly reached for the button of her shorts, letting them fall down her legs, revealing white swimming shorts that hugged her slightly curvy hips. She pulled her tank top off, tossing it aside, and she wore a white bikini top, with silver crowns on it, and a silver crown was on the left hip of her bathing suit.

Riku's eyes widened, a faint blush bepainting his cheek in a sweet pink. Ako blushed as she saw drool practically pour out of his mouth, but sauntered over, pushing his jaw up. His mouth closed and she smiled up at him with wide blue eyes.

"Take a picture. Lasts longer."

Riku shook his head and blushed harder, glaring. Ako laughed, running to the dock. She stepped onto it, and ran off, flipping in the air and landing gracefully in the water. Not long after, she came shooting out of the water, flicking her now soaked hair behind her, smiling back at her friends.

"COME ON!!"

Everyone smiled and shrugged, and began to run off the dock to catch up with the free-spirited girl. Riku swam underwater, and pulled her down. She came underneath, and they smiled from under the water. Riku pulled her closer, pressing his body against hers. She blushed and smiled at him still, leaning closer. Riku closed his eyes, then opened them as she kissed him, right next to his lips. He glared at her, and she smiled playfully, shooting back to the surface.

Riku followed her, and then took in a gasp of air.

"What... was that??!"

Ako smiled.

"An innocent kiss. I don't want to kiss you yet!"

"WHEENN!!"

Ako smiled as she swam away.

"WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT!"

Riku pouted, glaring at her, which only caused her to laugh and swim faster. This Sora... The one who shows her feelings even more than before... Is beautiful. Maybe even a fragment more so than the original.
