I apologise for the slow update, I have been playing on KH2. How I am slowly beginning to grow tired of Seph pwning my ass every time I try and fight him. Damnit.

It would seem that your curiosity has leaded you to the next chapter of our tale. If you are blind and didn't read the warnings for the first chapter then you should know that this is yaoi or good old-fashioned GuyXGuy, better known as SLASH. Don't like? Then leave. I do not tolerate flames because people are against this sort of thing, I really don't want to hear it.

Look ahead: Leon needs a drink and Sora explains the rules of the wishing. What will Riku's first wish be? In addition, what consequences will follow…?

I'm a Genie in a Bottle

A lousy wish

Riku could not help but stare as the strange boy, Sora, began madly jumping off the walls. Sora grinned wildly as he bounced around like a small child who had just eaten far too much candy.

"Yay! Cloud's here! Cloud's here! WHEEEEE!"

Riku gasped. Cloud? Cloud as in the Cloud that Leon was currently going out with? If so, then how did Sora know him? Riku sighed in relief when the boy stopped and became calm very suddenly.

"Wait… If Cloud's been here then you must know about genies!" Sora yelled, the realised something else. "HEY! You have already had three wishes granted! What are you, greedy or something?" Riku blinked.

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Cloud!" Sora shouted loudly. "He was here; recently, I can sense the remains of his magic. You have already had three wishes, why do you want more? That's cheating you know!"

"You are crazy." Riku stated calmly. "How the hell did you get in here anyway? What are you, a stalker?" Sora's expression turned angry and frustrated, he couldn't believe this guy! What was wrong with him?

"I'm a genie! A G-E-N-I-E!" Sora stomped his foot childishly. "WHERE IS CLOUD?"

Leon had to be deaf not to hear his boyfriends' name being yelled by a new voice. Soon enough Riku's bedroom door swung open and Leon stood there. Instantly his eyes found Sora, and they widened. Sora stared, mouth open wide.

"You were Cloud's last master!"

There was a long, disturbing silence.

"… I need a drink."

Leon wasn't one to drink, so he grabbed a glass of water instead and in one gulp it was gone. Riku however did not pay much attention to the tough brunet, he merely watched Sora poke the television in utmost wonder and fascination, clearly, the boy had never seen such a thing, and began pressing random buttons like an uncontrollable child. Sora yelped loudly as the TV flashed on and people appeared on the screen instantly, causing the silver haired teen to chuckle softly and Leon to shake his head in annoyance.

"It's funny; Cloud did the exact same thing when he first saw that." Leon said, leaning against the wall in a cool manner. Sora's eyes lit up at the sound of Cloud's name.

"Cloud! Where is he? Is he here? You're his master! What happened to him? How is he? How-" Sora rambled very quickly, causing Riku to get very confused; he found it hard to keep up with what the strange boy was saying. Was it even possible to speak that fast?

"Alright kid, stop right there-" Leon started, but was suddenly rudely interrupted by a loud outburst by Sora; who was red in the face. Riku wondered if it was from talking so much.

"Don't call me 'kid'! I'm older than you!"

Leon ignored him, whist Riku continued to look bewildered. "First, I'm guessing you're a genie, correct?" Riku groaned.

"Leon, what have I told you about taking crack, it's not good for you!" Leon shot Riku a look and said 'shut up or die'.

Sora, however, popped up the obvious question: "What's 'crack'?" Thankfully, the two ignored the innocent boy.

"I know this is hard to believe, Riku, but genies really do exist." Leon said calmly.

"Right, and who told you this, Cloud?" Leon was about to answer, and then Sora butted in, again. This time he looked serious though, his childish attitude seemed to have disappeared.

"Most probably," he said. "Cloud never could keep things quiet for long." Riku shot him a look.

"You mean like you?" Riku shot, remembering Sora's outburst; asking him for wishes with a devilish grin plastered on his beautiful face. Riku nearly choked, 'beautiful'? Where had that come from?

"Well, I am his brother after all." this time Leon really choked.

"You're Sora!"

Sora grinned widely "Yep!"

"Cloud never seems to be able to shut up about you." it was meant to sound nice, but it came out cold. This didn't seem to faze Sora though; instead his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree in delight.

"Really?"

"Yeah," Leon replied softly, not wanting to offend the boy by telling him how annoying it was getting.

"Wait a moment," Riku said, ending the twos little conversation. "Let's just say, for a moment, that I believe you. And you," he looked at Sora. "Are really related to Leon's boyfriend, and Cloud is also… a genie?"

Leon coughed, but didn't reply. Sora, however, merely closed his eyes. To Riku, he looked incredibly peaceful as he concentrated. The child-like teen took a few deep breaths and then once again revealed his sparkling blue eyes.

"… I'm happy for him." Riku blinked. "He is no longer bound by his lamp… is he?"

Leon nodded, and left the room. When he returned, he held a deep gold lamp was in his grasp. Unlike Sora's lamp, it was dim; there was no sparkle. Engraved onto its side was a wolf's head, but unlike Sora's there was no writing. However, where it should have been looked as though it was been melted away to a smouldering polished bubble. Leon passed the lamp to Sora. To him, it felt cold in his hands. He smiled at Leon.

"How long?"

"Just under a year," Leon paused, and waited for Sora's reaction. Sora just waited for him to continue though. "So… Riku's your master now?" Sora nodded energetically.

"Yep! I wish he would hurry up and make his wish though!" he grinned devilishly. For a moment, Riku truly believed what he had just heard, but then he came back down to earth with a bump.

"Yeah right, what is this, Aladdin?" Leon glared at his friend, but he wasn't going to admit that he had said the exact same thing to Cloud when he demanded for his wishes.

Sora blinked.

"Who's Aladdin?"

Leon felt the oddest feeling of déjà vu.

Sora didn't wait for Riku's answer, as he had the expression that he was trying to catch flies with his mouth.

"Listen master, believe it or not, you've scored yourself some free wishes. Now sit down and let me explain the rules." Riku didn't even get the chance to process this before Sora pushed him onto his sofa. Leon chuckled.

"Have fun, Riku." he said, before turning his heel and exiting the room.

"First," Sora started, his voice very serious but that devious grin still wide on his face. "The obvious; you cannot wish for more wishes, it's cheating and unfair to anyone else." Riku was sure that his grin grew an inch bigger. "Second, you can't wish for me to kill or bring anyone back to life; it's forbidden and I'm in enough trouble already."

The silver haired teen wondered what he meant by that.

"Otherwise, wish away!" Sora exclaimed gleefully.

"This is nuts." Riku replied dully. "I really don't have time for this. I have school tomorrow and homework to be done." Sora blinked. "And I still don't believe you."

The genie's grin vanished, and was replaced with an angry glare and vibrant red cheeks. This lad was the most stubborn human Sora had ever had the pleasure of accommodating!

"Alright kid, then, wish for something! I'll prove it to you!"

"Alright, lets get one thing straight; don't call me 'kid', I'm seventeen, clearly older than you and-" if possible, Sora's cheeks glowed a deeper and more dangerous shade of red.

"I'm over a thousand years old! I think I'm just a couple of years older than you kid."

"Alright, just stop calling me that." Riku snapped. "Just call me Riku, please."

"Is that a wish?" grinned Sora cheekily.

"No," he answered snippily. "A request" Sora thought about this for a moment.

"A request... Never had one of those before, but sure, Riku it is." the genie replied, with a small, almost sad smile. "Now, about those wishes…"

"Prove it." Sora blinked.

"No can-do Ki- Riku," Sora said tapping his foot impatiently. "I can't do magic for my master unless he or she wishes for something." he paused. "What have you got to lose?"

Riku thought about this for a moment. True, he really didn't.

"I want my homework done."

Sora stared at him. "You've gotta be kidding me, that's a lousy wish!" Riku glared at him.

"I have school tomorrow, and because I have been sat up listening to you ramble on," Sora pouted. "I haven't finished my homework, so I wish for it to be done." he glared a bit longer. "Or are you just going to prove me right?" he gave a smirk which any nearby fangirl would squeal uncontrollably at.

"Alright master," Sora bowed mockingly and in a puff of smoke, a large pile of paper appeared in his hands. Riku stared at them in disbelief.

"No. Way."

A/N- Review and you'll get a cookie :3
