Roxas woke up early than usual. Four o'clock in the morning. His heart beats fast and sweats trickled down from his forehead. He looked around his dark bedroom before he climbed off his bed. With uneasy feeling, he went to the room next to his. He knocked the door as quietly as possible so his brothers will not wake up. When he received no reply from within, he gripped the doorknob and twisted it around.
He poked his head inside to see the room is very dark. Quietly, he stepped in and closed the door behind. He approached the bed by the window and frowned. Slowly, he gripped the blanket of the bed and pulled it with force. His eyes widened when he sees nothing on the bed. He quickly turned on the light by the bedside table and still, nothing on the bed. At that moment, many kind of thought and images rushed into his head.
"SHIT!" he cursed and dashed out of the room to his older brother's room. he did not bother to knock the door as he kicked the door. The couple inside the room startled from their sleep and groggily looked at panting blonde.
"Roxas, what the hell are you doing?"
"Sora's gone!" Roxas shouted.
"…What?"
-
"Morning Riku!"
"Hey, morning Riku."
"Riku, good morning!"
"Hmm," was all Riku's reply to all those who greeted him. He is not in the mood to open his mouth since he's feeling pretty tired right now. He yawned, feeling so sleepy thanks to the fact that he went home late yesterday. After he sent Sora home, he did not go straight home. Instead, he went to the pier to cool himself and spent time with the dolphins. He smiled when he remembered the dolphins were looking for the brunet.
"Riku!" He raised his head and saw his girlfriend running towards him. Kairi panted before she straightened herself and looked at Riku in worry. "Riku…"
"What is it?" Riku asked. Kairi bit her bottom lip.
"Namine told me just now…"
"…Told you what?"
"She said that Sora's gone missing."
THUNDER STRIKE.
That was what Riku felt as soon as Kairi finished her words. Though his face was showing nothing but a plain and emotionless expression, his inside was the opposite. Many thought of possibility rushed into his head. Various kinds of emotions and feeling surrounded his heart. All of them are negative and unpleasant. Kairi got worried when her boyfriend did not say anything but staring at nothing. Suddenly, Riku looked at her with dangerous look she has never seen before.
"Where's Roxas?" Riku asked in dangerous tone. Kairi gulped.
"H-He's probably at his classroom---" And Riku went to Roxas's classroom without letting Kairi finished her word.
-
"Let me go! I just come here to see if he's here!" Roxas shouted as he struggled to free from his brother classmates' grip.
"Roxas, we know you're worried but please calm down!" his teacher said.
"How am I going to calm down when my brother has gone missing!?" Roxas shouted angrily. Suddenly, the door of the classroom opened and strode inside the infamous Riku. Roxas' eyes widened upon seeing Riku and using his full power, he pushed his friends away from him, clutched Riku's collar, and punched him.
"Roxas!" his teacher pulled Roxas from continuing beating Riku. "Stop it!"
"What have you done!? Where's Sora!? What did you do to him!?" Roxas shouted. Riku spit the bloods from his mouth then looked at Roxas intently.
"He's not with me," Riku said.
"Liar!"
"Then look for him at my house and see if you can FIND HIM!" Riku shouted angrily. Everyone turned deadly silent. They whispered among themselves, amazed because this is the first time they have ever seen Riku's shouting in front of them.
"Then…where is he?" Roxas asked, hissing.
"I don't know," Riku replied, calming down.
"You were with him last night, Riku…" Roxas's voice is getting dangerous.
"I sent him home," Riku said.
"Oh really? Then how come I didn't find him IN HIS ROOM!?"
"I did send him home!"
"Then where the hell is he!?"
"How should I know!? Maybe something happened after I left---" Riku stopped. Roxas watched in curiosity and frustration as Riku furrowed his eyebrows. The famous guy then bit his bottom lip and shook his head roughly. "No…" He heard Riku said. "No…he wouldn't…"
"What? You know something!" Roxas said. Riku looked at Roxas and his expression made everyone in the classroom surprised. The famous guy then left without saying anything. Roxas gulped; still stunned at the expression Riku was wearing just now. Riku looked as if he was ready to kill someone.

"Yo Vayne, someone is here to see you." Vayne looked at his friends while reading book then smirked. He stood up, stretched himself, and took a glance at a brunet on the floor before he walked out of the room. He walked through the corridor, opened that second door and greeted by the sight of frowning Riku. He smirked and slowly approached him.
"Hey Riku. It's rare to see you here," Vayne said as he picked up a magazine on the table between him and Riku. He boringly flipped open the magazine and lazily read the page.
"Where is he?" Riku asked. Vayne looked at Riku and smirked.
"Who?" Vayne asked. Riku cursed. "Oh, you mean the brunet." Riku's eyes darkened. "he's inside."
"Let him go," Riku said.
"I can't do that," Vayne said.
"He has nothing to do with this!" Riku stated.
"Oh? From what I see, he does have anything to do with this," Vayne said. He flipped some pages again. "I thought I taught you well already, Riku, about how not to hang out with gay-lover. But no, you wouldn't listen to me."
"Sora is not a gay-lover," Riku hissed.
"He read your father's novel, Riku," Vayne said then smirked. "And I believe he has some collection of your father's novels."
"He just likes the story plot, Vayne! That doesn't mean he's gay or gay-lover!"
"I'm sorry, Riku," Vayne said. "I just have to do it. You know it's our rule." Vayne then looked at his friend. "Bring him here." His friend nodded and went inside. A moment later, he returned with the said brunet. Riku gulped, instinctively took a step when Vayne's friend pushed the brunet onto the floor. Another of Vayne's friend prevented him from going forward. Riku bit his bottom lip as he examined the brunet's condition.
"R-Riku…" Sora's voice was hoarse.
"Vayne, let him go or else," Riku said, hissing angrily.
"Or what? You're going to beat me? Have you forgotten the rule, Riku?"
"I don't give a damn about the rule!" Riku stated. Vayne's expression change a bit. Fumed, he grabbed Sora's hair and pulled the brunet on his foot harshly. "Vayne!"
"Get the damn glass," Vayne said. Riku's eyes turned horror.
"No Vayne! You can't!"
"Oh yes, I can, Riku," Vayne said. He waited for his friend to return with a glass. After he got the glass, he breaks it against the table. Pieces of glasses scattered across the floor. Vayne took one of the pieces, the largest among them, and gripped it tightly. Riku gulped as he watched bloods dripping from Vayne's hand. "First, you dated with that gay-guy."
"Roxas is not gay!"
"Second, you become gay-lover's friend."
"He's not gay!"
"And now…you disobey one of the rules set by me," Vayne said. Riku gulped. "I should punish you for that, Riku but…just by beating you up won't stop you or make me satisfy." Riku frowned. "So, I'll just break your heart."
"What---"
"KYARGH!" Sora's scream registered into his head before he could understand what Vayne meant by his word. Time seems flow slow as Riku stared at the brunet before him. Red is everywhere. Glass glittered by red liquids. Floor drenched by dripping bloods. Riku felt his world has stopped as he watched bloods flowing fast from Sora's left eye. Laughter, cries and screams are ringing inside his head. Something is trying to burst out from within him.
"That's for what you have done," Vayne said, smirked as he looked at standstill Riku. He brought the glass and licked the blood slowly. "Mmm…sweet blood for sweet boy."
"R…R-Roxas…" Sora was panting as he pressed his left eye. Vayne knelt next to the brunet and whispered into his ear.
"That's for befriending with one of my subordinates."
"Who's your subordinate?" Riku said. Vayne glanced at Riku. The famous young man was glaring deadly and dangerously at him. His gorgeous eyes had now turned to intense and sharp aqua eyes. His perfect and white face became darkened and dangerous. If look could kill, Vayne would probably be dead by now. "I'm not your subordinate!" With anger, he grabbed Vayne's friend collar and threw him towards Vayne. Taking the moment while Vayne was struggling to push his friend, Riku rushed over to Sora's side and scooped him up.
He wasted no time and carried Sora out of the place. Upon getting out of the place, he was greeted by Roxas, Axel and a group of police officer. Roxas was delighted to see Sora but as he got closer, he gasped. Axel grimaced and covered his mouth.
"S-Sora…" Roxas's hands are shaky as he caressed the brunet's bleed cheeks. He looked at Riku and wanted to ask him what had happened but no voice came out. One of the police officers approached them and saw Sora's condition, he frowned.
"Let's bring him to the hospital first," the police said. Riku nodded. He did not let the police to take Sora away. Together with Roxas and Axel, he followed the police who volunteered to give them a ride to the hospital. For the whole ride, Riku did not say anything. All he did is hugging the brunet in his arms, as if protecting him from harm.
