Journey for two

Chapter 11

"Roxas?" Riku asked.

"Yes, may I ask who is calling?" Roxas sounded very polite.

"It's Riku. Your brother's going to the hospital. Can yo—"

"WHAT?!" Roxas screamed, so that Riku had to hold the phone away from his ear, "Oh god!! We'll be right there!"

Click.

"Dammit…" Riku whispered.

They arrived at the hospital and Sora was taken to get his stomach pumped. Riku just waited in the waiting room. In a couple of minutes the Shuzoku's walked through the door and over to Riku.

"What happened?!" Kokoro asked.

"Sora was forced to drink a few beers, got drunk, passed out and hit his head on my bed post." Riku said. (A/N: Summarized!)

"Oh God!!" Hachimitsu yelled and hugged her dad.

Then the doctor came out. "Sora will be fine. He's going to have one good headache later on. If you'd like to see him you can.

All of Sora's family and Riku ran into his room.

"Oh Sora!" Kokoro said.

"Am I at the hospital?" Sora asked.

"Yes. You are Sora. I was so worried." Riku said.

"You stay away from my son. You are to never speak to him again. Leave now." Chichioya said.

"No, Dad, don't do that…" Sora whispered.

"Sora he's not a good influence I have no choice." He said.

Sora got out of bed. "If he leaves then I'm leaving too. You can't stop me. The only one who can out run me is Riku. You will never find me again."

"Sora, don't be stupid. If they want me to go I'll leave. Have fun finding new friends Sora. I'll miss you." Riku said leaving.

Sora gazed after him. Then his mother tried to hug him. "Don't touch me. I don't love any of you any more. Just go away." Sora said. It was harsh but they may have deserved it.

"Sora, don't do this, we love you…" Hachimitsu said.

"GO AWAY!" Sora yelled. Tears streamed down his cheeks and he hung his head.

"Sora…" Kokoro tried to say.

"Just leave… Like everyone else I knew." Sora said. Everyone looked at each other and then to Sora as they left.

Later that night…

Sora sat up in his bed. Sora pulled the I.V. from his arm and found his clothes. He put them on and snuck quietly out of his room. He got all the way to the main lobby when he heard people running about yelling. "Sora Shuzoku is missing! Search the building and premises. We have to find him!" One of the nurses yelled.

Sora sped out of the front door. When he was sure no one was looking he walked right of the premises. He thought about going to Riku's but knew that that was the first place they'd look for him. Then he got the best idea ever. He jogged to the beach. Then he went into a small hole no one but him and Riku knew about. It was hidden behind shrubs and palm trees. He climbed into the hole and all the way to the back.

He laid on the ground and fell asleep.

In the morning…

Sora was up early and looked out of the hole to look for anyone. When he saw no one he got out and grabbed some fruits of the trees and went back into the cave. He had grabbed 2 paopu fruits, and a coconut.

"Sora!" Riku yelled into the cave. Sora hid behind a wall of rock. Riku started to make his way into the cave. "Sora?" he asked.

Sora was hiding so carefully no one would see him. But, Riku wasn't just any old person. "Sora?! Oh my god... Thank you dear god…" He murmured and hugged Sora.

Sora hugged back. Then a clear river made its way down his cheek.

"Riku…" He whispered.

"Shh…Shh…" Riku shushed.

"I love you Riku." Sora said.

"I know, but your family is looking for you. We need to go tell them." Riku said as he grabbed Sora's wrist and tried to pull him out. Sora just wouldn't budge.

"They're not a family! They tell my boyfriend that he isn't a good influence and then they tell him to go away! I can't love them like family anymore." Sora said looking away.

"Sora, they were trying to protect you. They don't want you hurt. Look where you're at and ask yourself if you could really stay here much longer. No family, no food, no clothes, no electricity." Riku said, "Stop being so self-centered. They love you and they don't want you to be harmed. You need to stop your selfishness. Go home."

Riku's words were so harsh that Sora's eyes got all teary right away. "Fine. I hope you like losing me." Sora said voice shaking.

Sora left the cave and walked home. Tears rolling down his cheeks, he was going to lose Riku. When Sora arrived home his family tried to talk to him, but he went straight to his room and ignored the world.

"Sora? Sora, please come out and talk to us." Kokoro said.

The next day Sora didn't come out to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom. That's when Chichioya called a family meeting. "We need to do something about Sora. He hasn't done anything but sit in his room for the past day and a half." Chichioya said.

"We should call Riku and get him to talk to him. Sora will listen to him." Roxas said.

"Chi, you know it's our only choice." Kokoro said.

Chichioya sighed, "Hachimitsu, get me the phone."

Hachimitsu jumped up and grabbed the phone. She even dialed in the number and handed it to her father.

"Hello?" Came Riku's voice.

"Hey, Riku, this is Chichioya. We kinda need you to come over and talk to Sora. He hasn't come out of his room since he got home yesterday." Chichioya said.

"I'll be over soon. Bye." Riku said.

"Bye." Chichioya echoed.

In a few minutes Riku was at their door. They let him in and took him to Sora.

"Sora?" Riku called. When Sora didn't open the door Riku picked his lock and went in. He closed and locked the door behind him.

"Go away… I don't want to talk…" Sora said.

"Well, too bad. You're going to talk to me whether you like it or not. I'm not takin' any crap today either." Riku said. Sora's head snapped up to look at Riku and he eyes got teary.

"Riku, why are you here? You're going to get into trouble." Sora said as the tears streamed down his face.

"Not when your family calls and says you won't talk to them. So then they bring in the only person who can get you to open up and talk. Sora why don't you just talk to them?" Riku dead panned.

"You wanna know why?!" Sora got extremely angry, "Because, Riku, I don't want to lose you! I don't want to have to sit here day after day looking out that window to the island we played on! To what we used to be!" Sora's tears poured from him.

"I don't want to stare at the ocean and hope you show up at my side! I don't want to let go of what we had! I don't want to let my tears slip silently by! Not while they could be dried by you! That's why I don't talk to them! They murdered the only things I had left to hold on to! They took you and they murdered my optimistic spirit! Would you want to talk to them?" Sora vented all of his anger on Riku. "No you wouldn't. Their just like my old parents. They gonna kill my spirit. Just like my old parents did to my brother. Now he's gone. He's not coming back for me…" Sora said tears still staining his cheeks.

"Who said I wasn't coming back Sora?" A voice said from behind.

Sora turned to see Cloud standing in the doorway with Leon.

"C-Cloud?" Sora asked disbelievingly.

"Yeah…" Cloud said going over and hugging his BROTHER.

A/N: Okay sooo... I was gonna just end it this chapter, but I'm going to do that in the next chapter! The adventure is coming to an end.

Riku: That's sad...

Sora: We were your first story members.

Riku: Now she's just going to cast us aside and not talk to us.
