Koi Genso (Love Illusion)
Part 3 Finding a New Home

Riku's POV

"Is she okay I'll go get help" Kairi said she left. I rushed to Kurai her pulse seemed gone but she was breathing. How can you breathe without a pulse exactly what is she. I walked back to the group with Kurai in my arms Sora saw me first and rushed over to help apparently he was talking with Kairi when he saw me.

"I was just telling Sora what happened" Kairi said I saw Mai give her a confused look.

"Riku what happened" Sora looked Kurai over.

"We should take her to her house her parents would know what to do" Kairi looked at all of us.

"We don't have a home we're new here and her parents don't give a damn about her." Mai explained Kairi looked shocked and was speechless. Then she turned to me "you think you can take her to your place" she had an innocent face on like she was planning something.

"Yeah sure that's fine we'll meet up tomorrow to finish the raft is that okay Kairi" I looked around "Kairi"

"She ran off and left who would have known she could run that fast" Tidus said pointing towards Kairi climbing into her boat and leaving. Kurai was awake by then and staring at all of us.

"So okay then Kurai you're staying with me so come on" I was carrying her to the boats

"Hold on I didn't agree" she turned to Mai "you did this"

"What me I didn't do anything but suggest places to stay" she said dragging Sora behind her "come on Sora she's going to kill me"

"Oh come on Mai don't you think your overreacting" Sora said pulling himself away.

"Sora you do not know Kurai and her temper she is pissed off and might attack so I'll leave you behind good luck finding another way home" Mai ran toward the boats.

"Now hold on I'm coming see you tomorrow Riku, you better watch Kurai it seems she can be dangerous" Sora followed after Mai.

"Bye Sora" Kurai said waving

"I see Mai was right you are pissed off but why am I not good enough" I asked as I tilted my head to the side.

Kurai's POV

"Lets just go I'm tired end of conversation" I said truth be told I wanted to talk to him but my head had the worst headache I have ever had. I dozed off staring out into the ocean while Riku kept paddling us toward shore.

"Okay were here" he said I turned back to him.

"Why must you have a house right in the view of the island?" I asked him while looking at the two story building.

"I didn't pick the house so stop being so picky" he stepped out and held his hand out I ignored it.

"Whatever I just want to lie down" I said as I stepped out of the boat I somehow lost balance and fell on my knees, the world was spinning again. What's wrong with me I was fine at the island okay maybe not but the spinning stopped why is the world spinning again.

"Hey Kurai can you hear me" Riku said waving his hand in front of my face I wasn't really paying attention. I nodded in response he just shook his head and went inside and came out with a silver haired woman and a black haired man. "Dad can you help her into the house apparently she can't move at the moment and mom can you make something to eat"

The man came over and hauled me onto his back like a piggyback ride it reminded me so much of what my dad used to do for me when I was little. The woman came over and held her hand up to my forehead; she looked worried I must have had a fever weird I haven't been sick for 2 years with the whole family being strict about being clean. The man soon took me to a room and put me on a bed; Riku came in and tucked me in, my body temperatures were out of control. While my forehead had a fever my whole body was freezing cold. They all made sure I was fine before they left except for Riku he kept tucking me in to make sure I was secure and felt my body for any change, I was dozing off but before I did I saw a picture on a drawer two little boys Sora and Riku I realized before Kairi came and ruined the friendship. I smiled I would love to have a copy of that picture somewhere I fell asleep soon after. I awoke when I felt weight shift on my stomach. I opened my eyes slowly adjusting to the dark making out shapes, but what surprised me was Riku's head on my stomach. I shook him off and sat up he jumped up surprised and looked at me. I moved to make room for him in the bed, he wouldn't budge at first but I pulled him anyways and he gave in and lay down next to me.

"you're warm don't leave my body's still kind of cold even with all these blankets" I snuggled into his chest I felt more heat than normal come from him I looked up. "are you alright I'm sorry if I'm bothering you I just need some warmth." I yawned getting comfortable my eyes wanting to close I soon gave in.

"Kurai can you let go of me please" I heard him beg but I ignored him and brought him closer.

"no you keep me safe from all the terrible stuff I must feel protected" I grumbled I released my hold on me just a bit.

I woke up to find Riku beside me softly snoring, I poked his face watching him squirm and groan and finally his eyes opening to glare at me.

"is it time to be up now" he then brought his hand up to my forehead. "seems your fever is gone lets go to the island to finish the raft" he practically pulled me out of bed which only resulted with me falling on top of him.

"I'm not a morning person never have been now if you don't mind lets go" I got off him combed my hair fixed my clothes and turned to him.

"could've warned me" he groaned as he held his rib where I landed.

"then what fun would that be" I walked out of his room and out of the house to see Sora and Mai. "hey Mai, Sora you ready to work"

"you mean us four work while Sora rests" Mai says shaking her head back and forth

"nope if I have to work I'm taking him down with me." I smiled

"would you three stop talking lets go already or I'm leaving you behind" Riku walked ahead holding his side.

"someone didn't sleep well what happened Riku?"asked Sora who tilted his head to the side

"this girl is a handful" he pointed to me I just laughed we all boarded our little boats and the two guys started to paddle. We started to work on the raft about halfway through Kairi came by and helped.

"that girl has problems" I said Mai nodded when the raft was done we all headed to go home. "I'll see you hopefully later tonight" she nodded as we all waved bye.

As me and Riku were getting ready for bed Riku was standing out on the balcony. "is something the matter Riku?" I asked grabbing his hand.

"something is calling me" he turned to me and held me by my shoulders. "I need you to stay here" he leaned into and gave me a little kiss and then jumped off the balcony and running towards the boats.

"Riku wait" I ran out and saw him already sailing out I saw the big black ball and instantly went to Tidus's boat to use. "Sora Mai hurry" I paddled and reached the island and could not move heartless appeared. Sora soon jumped to my side as did Mai. Sora ran ahead to look for Riku and Kairi. "stay near Kairi" she nodded and ran to the secret place while I went to Riku, I caught up to Sora where Riku was finishing his little speech.

"I'm not afraid of the darkness" he held out his hand to Sora then he noticed me. "Kurai I told you to stay home"

"it's not safe there" Sora was desperately trying to grab Riku's hand as the darkness began to swallow us. "you can't reach him Sora goodbye" I grabbed Riku's hand and slipped something into Sora's, and then it all went black.
