Between Now and Then

I do not own or claim Riku or any other Disney/Kingdom Hearts characters.
POV Sora
Sora stalked his way down the disney castle hallway, something was wrong, and he wanted answers. He had come alone, or so he thought, as a shy quiet Kairi followed him. All he could think of was Riku, and what they had been through, only to be shot down in the end. He burst through the door to the King's study, seeing the king and Ansem the Wise working together. He shot a simple glare, ready to complain.
"You all lied to me," With that one dreaded sentence a silence fell over what seemed the whole castle. King Mickey looked up, questioningly and opened his mouth to speak. Before he could Kairi had intercepted the situation, jumping in immediatly. "Well isn't this a grand reunion! Too bad we can't stay long," she directed her unusually happy words to the two elders, turning to Sora, who was bewildered.
"C'mon silly, time to go," Kairi gave Sora a look then that he would soon not forget, ushering him to leave with her. He stormed out, giving Kairi more grief than he knew, heading back to the gummi ship that was waiting for them. Kairi boarded it, pulling Sora in with her, not saying a word. They sat in silence for the longest time, dreading what either of them would say. Before long Sora broke the silence with one of his complaints, and a sigh.
"He doesn't remember anything Kairi..." She looked at him, and what she saw made her shiver with an odd feeling. He looked completely defeated, his head hung low while his hair now longer drooped more than usual. She noticed him clench his fist tightly, taking in a deep breath. She put a hand on his back caringly and talked in a low, quiet voice.
"No Sora..He hasn't fogotten, we can get him back, I know it..Just like you in the beginning," She was unsure of her own words as she spoke, and Sora could hear it.
"Kairi, stop," he was defeated, it hurt him more than they would all know. The thought of him loosing his best friend, again, this time the chance of getting him back was dimmer. After another silence, a voice broke through on the intercom, clearing him to leave. He started the gummi ship, and flipping some switches they had warped out of the castle, as fast as they came.
POV Kairi
They arrived in the rebuilt traverse town, in which they made their home. Sora parked the gummi in the garage, taking some time to talk to Cid about reapirs. Kairi went ahead, her mood declining since Sora was not the usual happy boy she loved dearly. She closed the front door behind her, not really expecting Sora to be close behind her. Being on their own now Kairi had take on the responsiblity of cooking and cleaning. Sighing she cleaned up the living room a bit, thinking of how ironic the past years had been. Sora had adventured to save them, and wound up saving the worlds, and now they all end up depressed. The worst of it was her feelings for Sora, he acted like she wasn't there half of the time, but she stays loyal to him. She just wished he'd notice her. Kairi made her way to her room, underessing and tossing her clothes to the side lazily, she put on her pajamas and climbed into bed with a sigh. Once she was sure she heard Sora come in the front door and lock it, she fell fast asleep.
POV Riku
Riku kept walking for what seemed forever. He ended up in an area of the town that he did not know. Looking around, he shrugged all he knew was he couldn't shake the feeling of someone watching him. Riku knew he overreacts alot but this time it felt real. People passed him on the street in cars, and walking his town was a night town. He stopped walking, staring up at the sky 'One sky, one destiny...' He had never felt so alone, even though there were people surrounding him.
