When the sun had appeared above the horizon, Mom had come in my room to check on me. I pretended like I was asleep so that way I could avoid any unanswered questions.

After a while, I noticed I was getting very hungry. The bad thing was that the sun was still out and I'm still not that used to being out in the sun. So, I did the only thing I could think of.

Riku...

A few seconds later, Riku appeared beside me as I stood up.

"You look starved. I don't have any animal blood with me now. Here," he said as he walked over to me. Sitting on the bed, he pulled his shirt off and arched his neck towards me. It was strange thta I could hear the blood flowing in Riku's veins.

I reached up and sniffed his neck. He moved closer and I sunk my fangs into his neck. Blood rushed from his neck and into my mouth. It tasted so good. I did not want to stop, but I knew I would have to.

After I started getting full, I pulled away. Licking up the blood, I felt Riku kissing my neck. He moved his face over to mine and kissed my lips. Riku pulled off my shirt slowly and continued to kiss me more. I moved my hands up and down his perfect chest. He pushed me against the wall and deepened the kiss. I could feel his tongue move in my mouth with mine.

All of the sudden, the lights turned on and I heard the door slam open. We both turned our heads to see my mom at the door, fuming.

"SORA! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? WHY ARE YOU...YOU...YOU MAKING OUT WITH RIKU! RIKU, GO HOME! I WILL HAVE A WORD WITH YOUR FATHER ABOUT THIS LATER ON. SORA, DOWNSTAIRS, NOW!"

Riku grabbed his shirt and walked out of my house. I felt bad for him, but I was more worried about myself.

There were three things I was certain of. One was that I was in huge trouble. Two was that Riku's dad would also have a talk with him. And three was that my mother was in flames by the shocking discovery that I wasn't straight.

I didn't even bother with my shirt as I went downstairs and sat on my couch. My family is Catholic so therefore being gay caused a very big problem. It's not like I could have prevented it.

Mom came down and sat on the chair beside the couch. I could tell she already thought I was contagious. This is why I did not want to tell anyone and I seriously did not mean for things to get that far.

"Sora, how could this have happened? You know what being gay means. Everyone in our family will think of you as a disgrace. You will be shunned and treated as a plague. Can't you just change back to being straight?"

She finally looked over at me with pleading eyes. I just shook my head and said, "Mom, it's not that simple. I can't be straight just like you can't be bi. I can't help what and who I'm attracted to. I'm sorry, but I just cannot be straight."

I could tell my mom was not happy about this and I knew she wanted to just chuck me to the streets. The only thing stopping her was that I was her son. The only one she had left and I had just created a big gap between us.

"I know, Sora, but what am I going to do? I've never really known anyone that was gay. I don't know how to take it especially since it being you."

All I could really do was nod and try to understand. There's not much I could do since there was no way that I control who I like.

We sat there in silence and finally, Mom got up and went towards the door.

"I'm going to go have a word with Sephiroth. Go get some sleep...alone."

I walked up the stairs as I saw my mom disappear out of the front door. Just as I was about to sit down, someone appeared right in front of me. It was Axel.

"So, you're gay. You don't show it too well, but I guess that isn't a bad thing. The school isn't big on the whole gay thing so good luck."

"Axel, what did you come here for?" I asked while looking at his spiky red hair.

"I came to see if it was true. Too bad you two got caught making out. It was time for Riku to find someone. He's been alone for a very long time and wouldn't let anyone get too close to him. Looks like you were an exception. Congrats! He denied me before I even got a chance. Luckily Roxas came along and well, now we're together."

He walked around, looking through my room. Axel sighed and turned towards me.

"You are very lucky to have him. So far, he hasn't given you a mission. When he was first Changed, they flooded him with missions just like the rest of us. I'm here to give you one from the Head. Are you up to a trip to Europe?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

"I don't have a choice, but yes I'm up for it." I stood up and summoned my keyblade and stared at it.

"You got one of the most powerful weapons. When the Master figured out that you could actually wield that one, he was already thinking of sending you on some mission. Good thing is that Riku will be with you. How does in feel to have a really dangerous mission not long after you've Changed?"

I stared at him and made my keyblade disappear. I wasn't about to show this guy that I was really scared out of my wits. How was I supposed to fight things when I didn't even know how to wield the blade?

Before I could reply, a new black portal opened and Riku stepped out. He glared at Axel with his fierce green eyes. Somehow, he knew what Axel had just said, because he was making sure to win the whole glaring contest thing.

After a while, Axel just made a black portal appear beside him and disappeared into it. Riku looked over at me. His mood changed in the blink of an eye as he walked over to me. He had a black blade in his hand meaning that he was getting prepared to fight. I'm glad I didn't have to witness any of it.

"As much as I hate to admit, Axel was right. We do have somewhere we have to go and something we have to do. It's a mission from the Master himself so there's no way we can refuse. Before we go, thought, I have got to do something."

Riku slashed his weapon at me and were it not for my quick reflexes, I would have had my head chopped off. He swung again and I summoned my keyblade out and blocked his attack.

"Riku, what the hell are you doing!?" I said as my legs shook from trying to keep my body up under Riku's force.

"It's time you learn how to learn that blade. If we go on this mission without you knowing how to fight, that could mean death for the both of us."

He pulled back and made his blade disappear. I fell to the ground, also making my keyblade disappear.

"When your mom goes to bed, we will learn. I'm telling you right now that it will not be easy and if you fail to learn then that could mean death. Sora, you better do well or Xemnas will make me kill you which is something I really don't want to do."

"Trust me, Riku. I will not disappoint you," I said getting up and showing a grin on my face. I will show him that I can take on anything that comes my way. As long as we love each other and I do what I'm supposed to, then I will have no problems.
