A/N: (Sigh) Ok, update! This is Sora mostly, one part with Riku´s thoughts.

Disclaimer: Same as always folks!

Befriend

"Sora! There you are! I was looking all over for you!" Kairi said as she came up from behind Sora.

"Whoa! Wait, why are you here? Aren't you suppose to be….nevermind" Sora sighed and shook his head. "You needed me ma'am?"

Kairi giggled at Sora's confusion.

"I just wanted to talk to you, you know get to know each other"

Sora tilted his head then nodded slowly.

"I have a question ma'am"

"Yes Sora?"

"How do you know my first name?"

"Erm" Kairi froze "Your friend told me. The blondy"

"Tidus? Oh, ok"

"Anyway" Kairi began to guide Sora to her room "How are you?"

"Pretty good. You?"

"Great! Your 15 right?"

"Yes ma'am"

This small chat continued till got to Kairi's office. She opened to room with her key and motioned Sora to sit in the chair. Kairi sat in a comfy chair and sighed.

"Do you have any siblings?"

"No ma'am, I don't"

Seeing it was her chance smiled.

"Raytra had a brother"

"Had?"

"Yes he was killed"

"Do you know how?"

"I don't know you should ask Raytra" She smiled sadly "Axel said he was a mess after it happened"

Sora looked sadly down at his lap, he knew the feeling of losing a loved one.

"I think that was when he turned cold and untrusting" She looked at Sora. "You know, you remind him of his brother"

"Huh?"

"Sora can you do me a favor?"

"Ok"

"Befriend Raytra"

Sora was confused. "What?"

"Sora! If you do this not only will he be happy but you will be too!" Kairi pleaded

"I-I'll try" Sora said.

"Yes! Thank you Sora!" Kairi jumped from her chair and smiled widely. "I have some things I need to take care of, see ya"

Sora nodded and left the room still a little left in the dark. Kairi sat down in her chair and sighed happily.

"My plan is underway"

'Ok that was weird' Sora thought as he walked back to the cafeteria. 'Befriend Raytra? That's easier said than done'

Dingding! Incoming e-mail!

Sora groaned "What is it this time?"

Sora flipped out TIM and read the mail.

Hey Sky!

Where are you? You better not be making out with that Kairi chick! You know better than that! Get over here I'm going to kick some of that's purple kids butt!

Tidus

"Oh no" Sora sent him mail back and ran down the hall.

Wait Tiddy!

I have no idea why you think I would do something so nasty. Don't lay on finger on that Zexion guy! Wait till I get there!

Sky

Riku sighed and let his mind roam. 'Man that Sora kid is getting to me' Riku perked up when he heard someone running down the halls. Rising once again from his chair and to the door.

'Eh? Why is Sora running?'

Unconscious of what he was doing he walked after the teen. Till the cafeteria.

"Fightfightfight!" was heard from the lunchroom.

"Oh no" Sora groaned.

Sora ran into the room and to the large circle of teens that were chanting. Pushing his way through the crowd he saw the boy with purple hair (Zexion) and Tidus.

"Tidus!" Sora ran to the boy "What are you doing?"

"Kicking ass!" Tidus was about to charge when Sora when behind him and held him back.

"Hey!"

"Hehe thanks kid" Zexion grinned then he punched Tidus.

Sora gasped as Tidus fell backwards on him.

"Are you alright? I'm sorry!" Sora pleaded.

Sora kneeled next to Tidus and tried to help his dazed friend. Zexion was about to go at Tidus again when Sora stood up and got in his way.

"Back off"

"Your not my boss"

"You won ok? Back off!"

"Ok, you can have some too!"

Zexion put his fist back and punched Sora on the cheek. Not being used to rough housing Sora fell back and grimaced. Zexion laughed and made a fist again. He was about to punch when a rough hand grabbed his hand.

"You shouldn't fight the unwilling" Riku growled then with his other hand on Zexion's fist he slammed him to the ground.

The teens that chanted grew silent when Riku glared at them all.

"Let this be a lesson, don't fight when I am around"

The teens nodded and dispersed leaving Wakka, Hayner, Sora, Tidus and Zexion alone with Riku. Riku kneeled to Sora's level.

"You ok? That looks bad"

"N-No I'm fine" Sora held his red swollen cheek.

"Alright, take you friend to the nurse and I'll deal with these guys" Riku smiled.

'Wait he's smiling?' Sora thought.

"Yes sir"

Sora stood up and tried to get Tidus off the floor, with much difficulty Tidus was finally on his feet and walking(even if he was leaning heavily on Sora). The two began to leave when Riku called out.

"Oh, and Sora" Sora turned "Come see me when your done"

"Yes sir"

With that Sora and Tidus left.

"Sora? Why did Raytra call you by your first name?"

"Oh, I was talking to him in the hall"

"And you told him your name?"

"Well, he asked first" Sora said grining even though his cheek screamed in pain. "Sorry about what happened"

"Why? You were trying to stop me. You even stood up for me, and got slugged" Tidus grinned "No need for sorrys"

They finally made it to the nurse and walked in.

"Not you again" The same medic from the time Sora passed out groaned.

"Yup! Nice to see that you remember me!"

"Just get over here"

After being treating Tidus snoozed on the bed his was given. Sora sighed and held his head.

"What a day"

"Hmm" The medic grunted and put an icepack on Sora's cheek.

"Geez!" Sora jumped back "That's cold"

"Well, it will lower the swelling"

Sora sighed and grabbed the pack. "Thanks"

"Ok now scat!" The medic pushed the teen out of the office.

"Ok bye" Sora waved and ran off towards Riku's office.

'I wonder if he is done' Sora thought as he ran. 'May as well see'
