It's the second chappie! hurray! I'll try to update as soon as possible and ya.

So the first chapter was kind of an intro to introduce the characters and now it sorta gets into the plot, just a little bit. But the next chapter (3) is where the full on stuff goes on. I decided to make it just a romance/general thing cause I can do much more with that then an action/adventure.

Disclaimer: sadly I do not own Kingdom Hearts big sigh But if I did, there would be a lot more Riku! now let me go daydream while you read.

What could've made THE Riku, mr. cool calm and collected blush!

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

"and plus, there's something important I need to talk to you about, Sayo…" Riku added with an ever so slight blush.

During the boat ride and walk home to Riku's house, Sayomi was sorta freaking out because Riku had an "important" thing to discuss with her. By the time they reached Riku's house, she was sweating bucket loads of sweat.

"Why are you all wet?" Riku asked while raising an eyebrow.

"uuh…umm…ah right, um n-n-no reason at all..hehe…" Sayomi managed to get out.

"…Sure, let's go with that…anyways we're here so let's go in." Riku responded.

Riku walked in and quickly walked up the stairs, motioning for Sayomi to come too, completely ignoring his mom's little "welcome home, bla bla bla shpeal". When they reached his room, Sayo plopped down on his bed, like she always did, and pondered what Riku would want to talk to her about.

"So, we start school in 2 days, excited?" Sayo tried to start up a conversation.

"Whatever, I guess. But I'm not too excited about my group of fangirls following me around everywhere and squealing 'Riku!' like every time they see me…" Riku said distractedly. Sayomi chuckled.

"H-hey, Sayo…remember that thing I wanted to talk to you about?" Riku asked.

"Yeah? What is it?" Sayomi responded.

"…well um there's this, uh…girl I want to ask out…" Riku stated quietly.

"O-oh yeah?" Sayo replied, a little bit excited.

"But…it's kind of hard to, you know. Cause we've been friends for a really long time, like since we were kids." Riku said

"Well, I'm sure that she'd wanna go out with you, anyone would…n-not that I'm saying I want to or anything…and I'm not saying that I wouldn't want to…but …but…" Sayo responded getting a little more excited. I mean he was obviously talking about her. OMG! I think Riku's about to ask me out! AAIIIEEEEEE! I've been waiting for this moment for so long and… Sayo's thoughts were interrupted by Riku saying, "It's Kairi…"

Sayomi felt like she would burst into tears right there and then, but of course she couldn't, she couldn't let Riku know about her feelings for him. I guess, he'll always only think of me as just a friend…guy friend to make it even worse.

"o-oh, Kairi… But she's going out with Sora, so how are you going to…" Sayomi was interrupted by Riku, "That's why I need you to help. See Sora is thinking about breaking up with Kairi, so I want to be the shoulder that she can cry on, you know?"

"I see…" Sayo responded disappointedly.

"So since you're kind of a girl, and you can talk to her about boys and stuff, could you help me?" Riku asked.

"Sure, I guess. That's what best friends do for each other, right?" Sayo replied with a fake smile plastered on. Riku, being Sayomi's best friend since they were little, noticed something wrong.

"Sayo, is something wrong?" Riku said gently. "You know, if you don't want to… you don't have to do it. I know that Kairi's one of your best friends too and you don't want it to seem like I'm trying to take advantage of her or anything, but-"

"No, it's ok, really. I'll help you." Sayo replied. sigh you totally don't get it Riku. Stupid Kairi, why does everyone have to always love her the best? While I'm "just a friend". She's not even that great of a person…Sometimes I wish I'd have become a girly girl.

"Great, thanks Sayo. I knew I could count on you! You're the greatest friend ever!" Riku said as he grinned and hugged Sayomi very tightly. On second thought, maybe becoming like a guy has its perks. Sayo thought.

"What was that?" Riku asked as he pulled away from the hug.

Oh shit! did I just say that out loud… "uh…um nothing, nothing at all Riku…ehehe… I just said um you're really great too… "

"Oh, ok." Few that was hella close.

The next day…(too lazy to put what happened at dinner…I guess nothing really, then she went home) So anywho, the next day, Sayomi was to meet everyone(meaning Kairi, Tidus, Wakka, Sora, Riku etc.) on the small island for the preparations of their annual end of Summer Vacation BBQ/camp out. Which of course meant sparring for the guys, and maybe Sayo, and all the girls doing the work.

"Ha! You guys can't even beat me as a team! Pathetic!" Riku exclaimed.

"Awww come on Riku, everyone knows you're the best fighter on the destiny islands, you don't have to rub it in." Tidus groaned while rubbing his shoulder.

"Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the keyblade master. Baka Riku! You and your stupid power of darkness… I should have turned to the darkness too." Sora complained.

"Ya man. But you know who's just as good as him? Sayomi, ya?" Wakka explained.

"Psshhh, that's because wittle Wiku goes easy on his girlfriend." Sora said in a sing song voice.

"She is NOT my girlfriend! She's just one of my best friends ok, like you Sora. How would you feel if everyone went around saying that you were my boyfriend!" Riku exclaimed.

"Way to explode Riku and EEEEWWWWW! Gross, Riku!" Sora said disgusted.

"What! Could happen, you see all those fan…boys I attract…"

"True, true…" Sora said with a nod.

"Well, one I'm not his girlfriend and two, I bet I could be him even if he wasn't going easy on me!" Sayo said.

"Oh really?" Riku asked with a slight smirk appearing on his face. "Well why don't we see about that?"

"Bring it!"

Riku and Sayomi sparred, and of course Riku won, but it was very close. Sayo complained that he was cheating using the power of darkness while she only had some shuriken and a sword, but Riku just drowned that out with his "I won!" chanting.

Later at the BBQ, they had all their tents set up(b/c they're camping out) and were sitting around a fire. After they partied all day and night playing blitzball, football, swimming, and other activities, they decided to call it a day and go to sleep. But… there was a slight problem. There wasn't enough space in either of the tents to fit Sayomi in. The girls' tent was already pushing it with Kairi, Namine, Selphie, Olette, and Rikku (feh, I decided to add her and you'll see why in a few of sentences). And the guys tent was filled up and about to rip with Sora, Riku, Tidus, Wakka, Hayner, and Roxas in it. Plus, they were short one sleeping bag because it was accidentally dropped into the water on the way to the island. So Sayomi had a big dilemma. At least until Riku came up with a solution.

"Hey you guys can all go to sleep in the tents, and I'll sleep out here with Sayo. I like it out here anyways." Riku suggested.

"But I don't have a sleeping bag…where do I sleep?" Sayomi stated.

"That's simple, with me of course. I mean what harm is it if two friends sleep in the same sleeping bag, right?"

"Uh…yeah. I guess you're right. I mean I always sleep over at your house, so there's no difference…eh hehe…" Sayomi said with a blush.

Everyone went to sleep and had a peaceful night. That is of course, all except Sayomi. Let's just say Riku has some…interesting sleeping habits that Sayomi had to deal with all night…maybe the phrase "deal with" isn't the right choice. How about, that Sayomi enjoyed a little bit. Yeah, let's go with that.
