Rin::faints: Holy crap. I reached one of my goals. I'm so happy :cries: You people are so kind to me! I got over 1000 hits! To me, that's a lot. I was going to wait for another day for two to update but I'm in a good mood today!
Thank you once again for those lovely reviews! They are my anti-drug!
In case you're wondering this isn't exactly chapter 5… It's more like a short story or something. In the last chapter Riku sang a song about Sora, and in this chapter is like behind the scene.
When you first started to read Love for an Angel, you probably thought that you might be able to see Sora and Riku before Sora died. Well you don't in the first chapter but in song chapters, you do.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! I know many of you are thinking, 'Whatever. I just want to read chapter 5.' But if you don't read this you'll get confused later on. It might not seem important but it kinda is.

Kikaru-Renji- Thank you for the review! I feel very loved!
Lady of the squirrels-Just to start this off… I love your screen name. It totally rocks! I'm glad you like the story and understand it. I tried to explain it to one of my friends but they were so confused. Here have a fresh baked cookie!
Kohaku-Yuuga's-rembrance- Ayu scares you? Really? I think she's awesome. She is actually based off of two of my friends. One is hyper and wants to take over the world the other is cocky and likes to make fun of me. Just wait till Soya comes; she's just as annoying.
Disclaimer:sings: Oh I wish I owned Riku. But he belongs to Sora. I wish I owned Sora. But he belongs to Riku. I wish I ownedGhost of You.But it belongs to My Chemical Romance. I don't own Kairi 'cause who could ever want her?
So here is the first ever Behind the Song. Featuring 'Ghost of You' by My Chemical Romance but in here's it's by Riku. The stars of the show are Riku (9 and other random ages) and Sora (5 and other random ages). Enjoy!
I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget him
But he could try.
A sliver haired boy opened a jewelry box and pulled out a knife. At the age of nine Riku became a cutter. It has been two years since his best friend died and everyday he cut himself thinking it was his entire fault.
Everyday for two years Riku never forgave himself, or Sora's father. Even though Riku would slice his arms he never tried to die.
Fact was he was afraid of dying. Even though he knew that if he did die, he and Sora could be together again. He was afraid that if he died, Sora could have forgotten all about him. He might not be able to completely forget but death could be the cause of losing precious memories. That way, when someone dies they won't miss their life and loved ones. They would just forget them.
But Riku was still alive and couldn't forget him no matter how hard he tried. He will always love Sora and will always blame himself for his death.
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
The nine year old boy pressed the blade to his fore arm and quickly slid it across. He winced at the pain. But it was nothing compared to what Sora had to deal with and it was all his fault.
Riku's world is gone. Nothing seems to matter anymore. He stopped caring and became anti-social. Before, he was a happy and very talkative boy. His world is destroyed along with it his personality, his life, his trust and his best friend.
Riku wanted to die. He wanted this pain to end, his torture, his life. Every night he would sit up and wait. He would think, 'I hope he comes tonight, I'm ready to leave with him!' He had his bags full of clothes and toys next to his bed. 'I know he'll come I just know it!'
He would say that day after day after day. Waiting and praying for his best friend to come. His mother once told him and Sora a bedtime story when they were 5.
' Ayu sat beside the Riku's bed as the two boys cuddled with each other under the covers and stared anxiously at her.
She smiled and started her story, "In a world of angels, they play all day with each other. Every day they would play with their other winged friends. But one angel got tired of playing with the others.
"She was always interested in the world below. The angel wondered what it would be like if she could visit Earth. But her father banned her from ever going there. He said it was too dangerous. The girl never listened; she was too busy thinking of what it would be like under the clouds.
"One day at night she slipped out of her house and flew down to Earth. The girl opened a window on one of the houses. Inside there was a little boy around her age sleeping in his bed. She slowly walked over to his bed careful not to wake him but she stepped on a squeaky toy. The boy woke up. 'W-who are you?' He asked.
'I am an angel.' She answered.
"The boy jumped out of bed and asked if she wanted to play. The girl eagerly joined in and they played all night. When the sun was starting to rise and the angel told the boy she had to leave.
'Can you come back tomorrow?' the boy asked. The girl nodded.
'Promise?' He asked.
'Promise!' the angel said before flying off.
"For the next couple nights the angel went to visit the boy. But on the sixth night, her father could her in the act. The girl ran away to the Earth and stayed there forever, becoming a human.
"All the children angels that night left Heaven and went to Earth and they each went to a human to play with. Ever since then all the angels went to Earth at night and some even took the humans back to Heaven with them, others stayed with them as a human.'
Riku always believed that story until he was ten and Sora never came to him. When he confronted his mother, she laughed and asked if he actually believed it.
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...
Ever...
At age 5 Riku ran to Sora's house. The boy sat on the porch staring at the sky. Riku sat next to him and asked what he thought about when he looked at the sky.
Sora smiled of his infamous smiles; "It's a secret."
"Why?" Riku asked.
"I'll tell ya when we're older."
"But why?"
"Because it's something I'm not ready to tell you let."
"But we're best friends! We share everything!" Riku argued.
"This is my secret. I'll tell you another day." Sora said looking back to the sky with the same smile on his face.
Sora always had that smile. No matter what. He never let anyone see him frown, he smiled and tried at help is friends feel better. No one ever knew what he was thinking behind that smile and they never did figure it out.
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms he dies
He dies
Riku saw his best friend lying unconscious naked on the hard floor. Fear struck the seven-year-old boy. He rushed to Sora's side.
"Sora…? Wake up Sora. Wake up… You have to wake up." Tears stared to form hiding Riku's beautiful aqua eyes.
"Please Sora be okay. You have to be okay. WAKE UP SORA!" Riku screamed clutching his best friend's body. Tears fell onto Sora's body. "Don't die Sor, You're my best friend, you can't die. Only grown-ups die."
Sora moved his head slightly and mumbled something but Riku couldn't hear it clearly. His whole body became still then flopped over.
"Sora? Come on! Don't go to sleep! I'm talking to you. You have to fight it. That's what you always tell me."
Behind the crying boy, his parents knew it was already too late, but neither of them had the heart to tell him.
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Seven year old Riku woke up in the middle of the night crying. It was three days after the funeral and the sliver haired boy just dreamt about Sora's death again. Over and over it played in his mind like a bad rerun on TV.
Riku crawled out of his bed and took a house key from under his bed. He slowly snuck out of his house and into another.
The seven year old boy opened the familiar bedroom door. The room that was once bright and cheery as his owner but now it was cold and hollow. Riku sniffed and shuffled his body toward the bed.
Many times when Riku or Sora couldn't sleep they would go over to each other's bed and would sleep together. Now it was just Riku to deal with it his own problems.
Riku crawled into his friend's old bed. He nuzzled his head deep into the pillow and took in his friend's sweet scent. Unshed tears collected in his aqua eyes. One lonesome tear trickled down his face.
"Sora, you're not coming home are you?"
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
Riku and his friends walked across the beach on one hot sunny day. The sliver haired boy looked ahead along the shoreline to see a mop of brown spikes. He laughed and ran to his best friend. "Sora!"
The boy didn't look over toward his friend. Riku realized something was wrong, Sora would have always looked up and greeted his friends.
"Sora? Is something wrong?" Riku asked when he stood next to him. He sat next to the five year old brunette.
Sora didn't look at him. "Yup! Everything's fine!" He said it in his normal cheerful voice but he didn't look like he usually does.
The rest of their friends caught up. "Hey Sora!" Selphie smiled.
"Hi Selphie." Sora answered.
"Is something wrong Sor? You don't look very happy…" Tidus asked.
"I'm fine really guys!" Sora finally turned to his friends and gave them a heart-warming smile.
But it was messed up. His friends gasped. "Sora, what's wrong with your face? And your arms?" Riku was in shock. All over Sora's arms were cuts and bruises. And his face was worse. A dark black and blue bruise covered his eye, his lips were cut and still bleeding and several cuts ran across his cheeks.
"I fell." Sora chuckled. "I fall a lot. You know that."
"Did ya fall on sharp stuff?" Wakka asked.
"No. I fell down the stairs onto my toys. I didn't put them away." Sora gave them a happy smile but Riku knew in his eyes that he was not happy. But if he knew Sora right, he wouldn't want his friends worrying about him. Even if it meant his unhappiness.
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
Nine year old Riku smiled at his memories. He brought the knife back down on his scar-covered arm.
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
Lightning struck outside. The room was filled with light and once it was dark again thunder crashed. Sora jumped down from the couch and clung onto his best friend. It was a dark and stormy night. Sora was spending the night at Riku's. Unfortunately the brunette was terrified of thunderstorms.
Another crash boomed outside. Sora buried his head deeper into Riku's chest. "Ri!" He whinned. "Me no like thunder storm. Make it stop! Tell the ghostyies to go away!"
"Ghotyies? You think ghosts are in charge of storms?" Riku asked.
"Ah huh! That's what mommy told me."
Riku laughed and hugged his best friend. "Don't worry Sor! I wouldn't let no ghosts hurt you. I'll chase them away for you."
Sora looked up from his hiding place and sniffled. "Really? You'll do that for me?"
"Of course! No ghosts can run away from me! And if they try to catch me, they wouldn't be able to 'cause I'm faster than they are."
Sora smiled. "Thanks Ri! You're the best!"

At thirteen Riku wrote down the last of the words down. He finally finished the song he's been working on for a few years. At the top of the page he wrote down the words. "Ghost of You".
Riku smiled. "There you go Sora. You always did want me to remember you no matter what. And this is my way how. I want you to hear this one-day. When I die, I'll play it for you, if you remember me or not."

Rin: There ya go my first song story! What did ja think of it? I'm not sure if I'll do it again and I want to know what you guys think. But this story will help explain some stuff in later chapters so I needed to put it down somewhere.
