"THE DUKE!!" Their precious kiss was interrupted.
"Who in the hell. . . " Axel looked pissed and confused.

"Come we have to get down there!" Axel started to climb down to an open window, and nodded to Roxas, Demyx and Zexion to follow him.
Chapter Three
Riku's POV
"Oh my Duke Xemnas what a pleasant surprise!" I heard Sora say from my hiding place behind an armchair. You might be wondering why the hell I am behind an armchair trying my hardest not to get caught.
Well let's with five minutes prior ago. So I had just finished sing my song to Sora, and I don't want to brag or anything, but I think I did on hell of a good job. Maybe I should become a musician instead of a writer. . . .Shit now is not the time for a career change. Anyway Sora says that he loves me , which was a surprise and calls me the Duke. Well, I told him i wasn't the Duke which is the truth, but he kind of freaked out. That kind of reaction was not expected at all, I mean h did say he loved me and on top of that he saw me. . um. . . exposed.
So he freaks out and tells me I 've got to leave. He goes to the door, opens it and sees the Duke outside. Anyway Sora tells me to hide and pushes me behind an armchair, sitting on it just as the door opens. And that brings us back to present time.
I have got to find a way to get out of this mess. Man, what have I goten myself into? But i'v never been told that i was loved by some one. . . except family, and I think that I have fallen myself. . . No, I can't, we just met and . . . . . .
"NO!" Sora's yell brought me out of my thoughts.
"No?" I heard the Duke question Sora's outburst.
"No, I'm fine, Duke why don't you come over here?"Sora asked sweetly, Fortunately this gave me a chance to get to the door, But I stopped short. Turning to give Sora one last look,I saw him embarrassing the Duke , That stung even though I knew it was an act. That's when Sora looked up at me, letting go of the Duke he slid to the floor, and began to sing.
"My Gift is my song ,
And this ones for you"
He began running his hands up the Dukes legs, as he slowly came to stand again.
"And you can tell everybody,
that this is your song"
He. . .Sora was singing my song. Does this mean he really does love me. God, His voice sounds beautiful, I just want to sweep him off of his feet and carry him off somewhere (preferably into bed... but that's another story hehehe).
" Hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind "
Sora looked at me over the Dukes shoulder and smiled sweetly at me. He Does! He actually loves. At this moment I could die a happy man. . . .I think that I. . .Love . . him to. Wow, it's such an amazing feeling.
"That I put down in words
How wonderful life is . . . ."
He sang softly as his hands ran over the Dukes shoulders.
"Now your in the world
That was from the play Spectacular Spectacular."
Shit. . . .I'm supposed to get out of here. Giving Sora one last smile I crept towards the door, opening it slightly I noticed the Duke's bodyguard. . .Fuck how am I supposed to get out now! Closing the door I crept quickly back to the armchair, and held my breath hoping I wouldn't get caught.
"Oh Duke do you know. . "
"Know what?" The Duke looked confused
"WHAT!" Sora's face became distraught "don't toy with my emotions! You know very well!!" Wow, Sora that was some bad acting right there.
"What?" He looked even more confused
"OUT! Get out now!" Sora pushed the Duke outside and shut the door
I got out of my hiding place and faced Sora, but I noticed how flustered he looked when he turned to me.
"Do you know how much trouble we could have been in if you were caught! DO YOU?!" Sora walked closer to me while trying to hide his obvious discomfort. His forehead glistened with sweat and his face was drained of all colour.
"Umm you okay?" I asked softly
"I'm Fin- " Sora collapsed onto my chest. Luckily my arms caught him before he hit the floor. However as fate would have it on our way to the bed to lay him down I tripped bringing us both down on the bed with a thump.
Just as that happened to Duke walked in. I'm dead now, Oh my God, goodbye world. Axel I'm sorry we couldn't get your play into production. My life is over. . .
" Umm. . Hi. . " that was not a smart thing to do, God now I'm really done for. . .
"What's going on here?!"
"oh. . " Oh God he's awake, please cover for us. . "Duke we were just practising a scene from the play"
"Oh. . . I see" He believed it! , Ha I'm gonna live "Well where are the others and where is Kairi?"
Oh shit what are we gonna--
As if on cue Axel, Roxas, Demyx, and Zexion waltzed into the room an d began to take over.
"Oh excellent acting Sora your doing a wonderful job" Roxas said walking over to us and clapping his hands together. The was a slight flash in his eyes, our signal to play along. Thankfully Sora caught on in a second.
"Why thank you my dear brother." Sora said as fakely as possible. God what is with the bad acting is he trying to gt us caught?!
"Well now that were all here lets continue with the other scenes!" Axel said delightedly.
"I've got the music !" said Demyx pulling out a CD.
". . . . ." Wow I was awwed that was when the Duke spoke up.
"umm Hello What is going on here!"
"OH Duke I didn't see you there! Well were having a last minute rehearsal for our play Spectacular Spectacular. " Axel said as he swung an arm around the Dukes shoulders only to have it shrugged off.
"I see well where is Kiari? Hmm?"
"Uh well you see--"
"I'm here" The door swung open and Kiari walked in "Ah Duke your here"
"Oh Good your Here! Well now that your here we can continue with our practice for our play Spectacular Spectacular! The Duke is here to watch because he is going to ahem. . . invest." A flash in another pair of baby blues and Kiari caught on.
"Our. . Oh yes Spectacular Spectacular! Well is Marluxia the writer here?"
"Oh Kiari. . the cats out of the bag, He knows that Riku is the writer and the Duke has already committed it to memory. Haven't you Duke !" Axel said still standing beside the Duke, while pointing a long finger at me.
"Ah I see well I hope your practise is going as planned." Kiari said with a fake smile and a look in her eye that said 'I-will-kill-you-all-after-he-leaves'
"Yes, well about the play" everyone turned in unison to face Duke Xemnas "What is it about?"
"WHAT IS IT ABOUT?!" Kiari acted enraged "Well . . .Riku will tell you"
What! that bitch. . I can't believe this! Okay. . . okay be calm a story Gawd I need inspiration. I quickly took a look around the room.
"It's . about . . a uuh, It's set in Hollow Bastion" I spotted a mural of a castle "and it's about a beautiful singer who works at a club and one day the club is bought by an evil rich man . . . " Oh crap I'm running out of ideas. . come on, come on. . What to do . . think Riku . . I got it!
"So in order to save the club the new owner must be seduced. But," I looked at Sora and he smiled "On the night seduction a penniless musician--"
"THAT'S ME!!" Demyx Shouted happily.
"A penniless musician trying to get a job at this club. But when he arrives he is mistaken for the evil owner. And they fall in love, He gets the job. But they have to hide their love, because the Owner is also in love with this singer. One day the Musician finds a magical sitar that only tells the truth-- "
"That would be me." Axel interrupted, he turned to Roxas
"Do-Do You are sexy."Roxas blushed , He strode over to Kiari "Do-DoYou are ugly." Kiari raised a hand to hit Axel, but he ducked over to Demyx just in time.
"Do-Do You are horny." Everyone snickered when Demyx blushed a beat red, Axel turned to Zexion "Do-Do You will get some."
Axel then turned to Duke Xemnas. My heart stopped NO Axel don't--
"Do-Doyou are an ass--mm" Roxas leaped forward and put a hand over Axel's big mouth before the rest could be spoken. Xemnas cocked an eyebrow as Roxas offered an apologetic smile before dragging Axel back to the group.
"Oh I get it and the sitar gives the game away"
"YES!" We all shout
"So what about the end?"
"Ahem. . . the singer and musician are pulled apart by an evil plan"
"But in the his song is heard" Sora added
"and their love is just to strong, Becuase the song the owner is driven out."
"I am the evil owner" Kiari spoke and stepped forward, while Axel, Dem, Sora, And Roxas bowed.
"Oh Kiari no one could ever" Sora started.
"Play the owner like you could!" Roxas finished.
"No one is going to!" Kiari chuckled.
"Hmm. . . well generally I like it." The Duke said happily.
"Marvelous, Come let's leave this practise and go to my office to discuss the paperwork." Kiari said and grabbed the Duke by his hand and pulled him out of the room.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Immediately following the Dekes leave we invited all the dancers at the Ile de Destinee to come back for a party at Axel's.
But as the Party raged on around me I couldn't get my mind off of Sora. I wonder if he's thinking about me? I left the party and headed for the roof. As I got to the roof I noticed a figure sitting on the edge. If I'm quiet enough--
CRUNCH
"Shit!" That voice was familiar. The person jumped up and turned around. . . .Sora?
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you"
"I. . . It's fine"
"It was too loud down there and I wanted to find you, to thank you for the job"
"Oh . .yeah that. Your very talented."
"Thanks. . . "
"Well I'll be going, we um both have a big day tomorrow"
"Wait"
"Yeah?"
"When we were . . " Please don't say . . . " You said you loved me"
"Heh Riku, I'm paid to make you believe what you want to believe"
"Oh I see" That hurt . . .
"Riku I can't fall in love. . ."
"Can't ! . . . But why , A . . . .A life without love thats terrible!"
"No a life on the street is" Sora tried to walk past me but I grabbed his hand.
"All you need is love!"
"Now your just being cheezy" Sora smirked.
"But all you need is love!"
"But I got to eat you know!"
I laughed . . . . well if he wasn't going to break easily I'll just have to use one of my lines! Well song lines that is . . .
"I was made for lovin' you baby and you were made for lovin' me."
"You are the cheesiest man alive!" Sora poked me in the chest "And the only way on lovin' me baby is if you pay a lovely fee." Sora crossed his arms and pouted when I wouldn't let go.
"Come on just one night!" I put a hand on his arm.
"No way cause you can't pay" He poked again.
"Please in the name of love, one night in the name of love" I do believe I'm winning.
"That is quite enough"
"I'll sing again . . "
"Don't."
I pulled him into a hug and sang softly into his ear as he squirmed.
"Love lifts us up where we belong,"
"On a mountain high where the eagles fly"
"We should be lovers"
Sora froze I pulled back his were eyes wide. It looked almost as though he was considering it.
"No" He whispered "We can't do that"
I sang louder "We should be lovers, and thats a fact."
Sora smiled weakly "I know how Roxas feels now, But nothing will keep us together"
Ha I knew there was something between them, And . . . wait did I just win. I did I won and amen to that I'm parched. And oh God I now am in possession of the most beautiful being on the face of this earth!
"We could steal time"
Sora's smile go wider " I'll be looking forward to that" For some reason I found it a great oppertunity to belt out Whitney Houston.
"Because I . .ei . . I will always love youuuuuu"
"Heh you Sir are . . " Sora poked me once more, yet it was softer this time "Going to be bad for business. ." Sora pulled me forward soundly and crashed our lips together, that's when the world around me melted away. The feel of his soft supple expert lips moving with mine sent chills of electricity throughout my body. When the kiss ended I just couldn't move, touching my lips one last time I finally noticed Sora calling me.
"Come on Whitney, I'll give you more inside" Sora chuckled as he sauntered away. Life I feel is about to get ten times better, I decided as I ran to catch up.
Yay it's finally over . . . .Ah HAND CRAMP!!
