-Chirico's POV-
You wake up having no idea where you are. "What the...", you whisper to yourself. You see Gaara, Sasuke, Demyx, and Roxas sleeping on really flat beds at the wooden floor's level. Sunlight was pouring in through those Japanese screen doors you find on houses and dojoes.
Then it hit you. You were in Konoha. 'If I'm in a room with only guys, how the heck did I get in here in the first place?!', you thought to yourself. Then you noticed Sakura, Ino, and Larxene sleeping on the other side of the room. 'What the heck is going on here?'. you thought.
You tried to get up, but someone held you down. "You're not going anywhere.", said Sora. "...where did you...come from...?...", you whispered quietly. "Over there, but that's not important.", he said as he pointed to an empty bed behind Sasuke. "Let me go.", you said. "Why should I?", Sora stated.
"Why?", you slowly ask,"Why are you doing this?" "I told you, I'm not losing sight of you again. All I'm trying to do is protect you.", he said. "Well maybe I don't wan protection.", you said so quietly you almost couldn't hear yourself speak. "But you need it.", he said, after barely hearing what you had just said. "No. I don't need it!", you yelled, and started to tear. "It's gonna be okay...", he whispered in your ear as he held you.
"It's just...that...I-I-I-I-,", he paused,"Love you." You were silent. You had no idea what to do. You couldn't breath or think, yet your heart was racing fast. And then you blacked out.
"Hey." You opened your eyes. "Are you alright now?, asked a voice. "Sora?", you asked quietly. "Sora? It's me, Shadow. You know who I am obviously.", said the voice.You shot up and yelled,"WHERE'S SORA!!!!!" "Calm down Chirico. He's right here.", said Shadow. Sora walked into the room limping, scratches and bruises all over. "Sora!", you yelled, and ran over to him. "What happened to you?", you said quiety, puzzled at what had happened. "I'm fine.", he said, then winced . "You're not fine.", you whispered,"...you need help. Tell me what's going on around here. I need to know.", you said. "Protecting you...", he said and winced, "...is a full time job..." "But why go through all of the pain just for me?", you asked him. "Because I l-", he said, but you put your hand over his mouth before he could finish.
"Don't.", you said. He nodded. "Leon and Xemnas are looking for you.", said Sora. "Yes, we are.", said Leon and Xemnas, at the other end of the room. You hid behind Sora and Shadow, looking exactly alike besides their shoes. "Get over here Chirico. This is the last time you run away.", said Leon, walking towards you. "...no...", you quietly mutter, "NO!" "Oh the trouble you'll be in.", said Xemnas.
"NO!", you yell, while a single tear runs down your face. "I won't!", you yell again. "...it's going to be okay...", Sora whispers in your ear, while he holds you. "Go!", yells Shadow,"You two, run now!", You and he both nodd and run.
