Who is updating? That would be me. BOOM.

Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts doesn't belong to me. If it did, Riku would be naked under that coat.

"It's raining!"

"So? Since when did you turn into an old lady?" He asked, tugging on Xion's hands to get her out into the rain from the shelter of the patio.

"Ack! Riku!" With a cry, she tumbled into his arms in the rain.

The heavy rain immediately soaked through her clothing and made her hair plop down onto her shoulders. She raised her head to look up at him with a glare.

"I'm not an old lady! It just so happens we a dinner with your family in an hour."

"And think of how impressed they'd be when you walk in wet and soaked with a devil-may-care attitude."

Her eyes narrowed at the smirk he was sporting.

"They'd be just as impressed when you come in the same way, because, baby, if I'm going like this, I'm dragging you like that too."

Riku's lips twitched up even more.

"Totally worth it." His eyes racked over her form. "Especially with the view."

Xion ended up bursting into laughter. "Pervert. Figures you'd think about that."

She moved away from him, walking to the small puddle near them. When Riku came towards her, she kicked, splattering some of the muddy water on his pants.

Riku rolled his eyes. "Is this your form of punishment?"

"Yes, you can be wet and muddy when you go to dinner tonight."

Riku moved forward to the muddle to kick some of the water on her, but she moved away in time, laughing. They continued their running around in the rain until they were shivering from the wet and cold. This time, when Riku caught up to her and wrapped his arms around her, she didn't object; instead, she pulled her body more tightly against him to get some of the warmth.

She could feel his warm breath and the way his weighted down hair brushed her cheeks. His hands moved down her back, and when they slipped under her shirt, a shiver passed through her though her lips quirked up into a smile.

"You'd at least better call your family to tell them that we're going to be late."
