"What do you think you're doing?" Riku asked coldly as he shoved Zexion. The short silver haired teen didn't reply. "I'm the one who sent the death note to him!"

Sora knew what would happen next so he tries to stop this nonsense when he and Riku tripped. Everyone gasped in shock.

"It's about time but I never thought it would be like this." Kuja chuckled and so did Kadaj. At the floor, Sora and Riku 'kissed' which is why everyone in the room were shocked.

Sora immediately stood up, feeling embarrassed in front of everyone and left the mansion. Riku, on the other hand touched his lips then stared the floor into nothingness.

The next day, Sora and Roxas were talking about the events that happened yesterday night. Obviously, the brunette wasn't pleased while the other grins.

"Really, it's not like that!" Sora complained.

"Aw. come on, you probably didn't do it on purpose so.... what's your first kiss like?" Roxas grinned like a madman.

"Having the person you hate kissed you. My, you're in a rough road ahead...." said a familiar voice.

"Marluxia!" both teens said as the pink-haired man suddenly appeared behind the counter.

"Listen, if your first kiss was the person you hate, your life will be taken on a difficult road. You might ended up cursing yourself." he said in a serious voice.

"Marly, that ain't true!" Roxas said while Sora contemplates himself.

"So what was your first kiss like?" Marluxia asked, this time with a goofy grin on his face while Roxas groaned.

At school, things were getting out of hand especially lunch time. As usual, three girls were teasing him but Sora didn't mind nor he cared then the student body butted in.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Sora," said the girl in the middle. "Do you really think Riku likes you? Puhlease as if!"

"Yeah!!!" the others agreed.

Sora rolled his eyes in disagreement and left the cafeteria. Instead of going back to the classroom, he decided to visit Kairi's house. Entering the white mansion, he went to her room and greeted her. They talked about what happened at Demyx's welcoming party and when the brunette told her about the kiss accident, she was surprised.

"You really kissed him?" she asked.

"No, it was an accident. There's no way I would like him. Besides, he's a moron and a fucking pain in the neck." Sora replied, scowling.

"I see," Kairi said with a unreadable expression.

"So are you coming back to school?" Sora asked but she covered herself in blanket in reply. He sighed and left the room. As soon as the brunette left, Kairi stared at the door.

Sora left the house and began to walk back to school when a black limo passed by. Lowering the car window, Riku saw the brunette and told the driver to stop. Sora saw Riku immediately and stepped back wondering what he was doing here.

"Did you really mean it? The kiss?" Riku asked. Apparently, he was thinking about this much to Sora's dismay.

"Eh? WHAT!!! Hell no!!" Sora replied in defense.

"Get in." Riku said, as if he was commanding him.

"Eh?" Sora questioned.

"I'll be the one to escort you back to the hellish school." Riku said in a forceful tone.

"Unbelievable!!! Hell no way!!!" Sora said and he started running with the silver-haired teen on his tail. Deciding to use his running skills when he was fighting the Heartless, he ran fast. Very, very fast. Riku could barely catch him but he wouldn't give up so he ran faster Sora looked back and saw the teen. In other words, SHIT!

Little did he know that a white Porshe was trailing after the brunette. The car went faster, did a half-U turn and stopped. When Sora saw it, he stopped then a lady came out from the car wearing a white dress, sky-blue flower sandals and wore a pair of black sunglasses.

"What do you want?" the brunette asked but she didn't pay much attention. When Riku came, she stopped him.

"Don't be so full of it!" she said angrily as she punched Riku on the face. He fell down and growled at her.

"That hurts, sis!" Riku whined.

"Eh? Sis!!!" Sora said in shock. The lady removed her sunglasses and to the brunette's surprise, it was the girl on the picture at the Tasogare's mansion. She invited him to drive to school which he accepted.

"Um, thanks." Sora said, feeling embarrassed.

"It's okay. My brother can be full of it sometimes." she smiled as they arrived at Twilight High. All the students were shocked to see Sora riding a car with Riku's sister. She stepped on the brakes and let the brunette get out.

"By the way, I'm Namine Tasogare, Riku's older sister. If you need me, here's my card." Namine said as she gave him the card. "And you smelled like me."

Sora smelled himslef which earned Namine a slight chuckle then he read the card. It says: Namine Tasogare Radiant Garden Cell No. 0915439087 Phone no. 2217788 Radiant Garden.

"R-R-Radiant Garden!" Sora stared in shock mostly because that's where his family lived not that anyone would know.

"If you need me, call me and I'll fly there by my own private jet." Namine said as she drove away, students were trailing after her. The three girls left in a huff.

At Zexion's place, he and Demyx were having tea near the swimming pool. Both of them were talking about themselves in the past.

"It's been a while since we talked like this." Demyx said while Zexion just nodded and took a sip of his drink.

"You know, Sora wanted to be a writer because he wanted to chnage his destiny. Just like you." Zexion said, smiling.

"Really?" Demyx said with interest. "Hmmm, it looks like you're having an interest on him."

"What? No way, I couldn't!" Zexion blurted.

"Oh really? then listen this: If you don't hold the person in your heart, you're bound to lose it." Demyx aid, this time with seriousness in his voice. Zexion frowned very hard and all of a sudden, he left the house. Demyx sighed and decided to go after him.

Night has fallen and a random strong rain began to pour from the sky. Sora cursed himself for not getting an umbrella so he had to run to the nearest shady spot. Unfortunately, his uniform got caught in the rain so he as to deal with it. While waiting for the rain to stop, he heard someone shouting.

"Hey, wait up!" said a familiar voice. Sora turned his head a little and saw Demyx and Zexion. Apparenty, both of them were wet.

"Listen, you know I'm going back to Hollow Bastion after a few days... Zexion... do you know why I turned down my family's company? It's because I'm not just a heir, I'm human just like the rest of them not like some toy to be manipulated. I will become a singer and change my destiny. Yours is just beginning so please understand." Demyx said and left while Zexion is left to comtemplate his own thoughts. Sora on the other hand didn't move from his spot rather he just stood there and stare at the wall.

- - -

A new morning has arise and Sora went to the fire escape. He just sighed when Zexion popped out of nowhere. The brunette was surprised but at the same time, he was relieved.

"It's been a while," Sora smiled. "You haven't been in school, did something happen?"

"No, just taking care a few things, that's all." Zexion replied as he brushed off one of Sora's spiky-brown hair.

"Oh, before I forget," Sora said as he reached to his pocket and pulled out an handkerchief that he was holding for a while. "Here's your handkerchief back."

"Nah, keep it." Zexion said and the brunette put the handkerchief back to his own pocket. Both of them fell silent at this moment then Sora stared at the sky.

"Well, I gotta go." the brunette said and as he left the fire escape, someone covered his mouth and dragged across the corridor.

"What the hell gives?!" Sora growled angrily as he turned his head. Turns out, it was Riku. Apparently, he was listening and watching this whole fiasco.

"Just listen," he said.

"You got ten minutes!" Sora said though he didn't like to be dragged.

"To tell you the truth, Zexion can be unemotional. He never opens his heart to anyone others than me or the others. I remember one time that I took away his favorite food."

All four of them were at Riku's living room. Kuja and Kadaj were playing cards while Zexion is eating sliced pears which is his favorite. Riku just came in with another pear in hand and saw his friend eating like that.

"Why do you eat like that?" Riku asked. "You should eat it through your mouth."

"I like it that way." Zexion said as he ate another sliced pear.

"You know, if you keep eating pears like that, you'll end up getting bald." Riku said and just like that, Zexion dropped the dish while Kuja and Kadaj stared at their friend in disbelief.

"I guess that I shouldn't have done that. I didn't know what I was thinking that time." Riku said. Sora stared at him for a moment. he had never seen Riku on this side before.

- - -

Night has fall and Sora was fighting the Heartless. While he was fighting, he was thinking about what Riku said. He thought he was a good-for-nothing moron who only cares power and authority. But when it comes to his own friends, he really comes for them a lot. For the first time, he felt bad for him. Maybe he could try talking to Demyx, that is if he can.

"Sora, above you!" Cloud yelled. The brunette looked up and dodged to the right then he stabbed the Heartless. Leon only sighed.

"Are you alright?" Leon asked. "You looked like you're in deep thought."

"Nah, I'm good," Sora replied. "See you guys later."

Leon and Cloud watched as the brunette leftb them. Maybe it's because of school. If that's the problem then Sora can handle it. Little did they know, it's more than just a school problem. As Sora left the place, he looked at the sky. Banishing his Keyblade, he sighed. He let his thoughts wander around and ever since Riku 'targeted' him, it was the worst day of his life. That is until the silverete himself told him more about Zexion. There's something odd about him. Ever since he was little and the day he was chosen by the Keyblade of light, his senses of human emotions are getting more acute. There's something he felt that he couldn't pinpoint.... Was it the aura of the Keyblader of Darkness or Twilight? Whatever it is, he will soon find out. As he was on his way home, he stopped for a moment.

"What the? What is this feeling?" Sora said as he looked at the night sky. At the same time, Riku stared at his room window wondering what is this weird feeling. He stared at the object on his table. It was a puzzle and so far he only complete a few of them so far. Shaking his head in disbelief, he shrugged, thinking no more of this and as for Sora, he went home.

- - -

At school, Sora was at the fire exit but this time, he did not came here to relieve his stress. Rather, he came here to think. The brunette began to reel over the events that happened yesterday once again. It was surprising that the fact Riku is concerned with his friends. The people Sora met before he came to Twilight Town were jerks and obnoxious plus haughty and proud of their rich life with the exception of Roxas. Being rich isn't that bad when his dad was still alive but ever since he died, his mother just send him to a private school telling him to finish his training and to find the Keybearer of Twilight. For whatever reason that her mother was, it was questionable and it seems that she didn't care. Because of this, he nver had true friends except Aerith, Cloud, Roxas, and Leon. Maybe Zexion and Kairi as well.

"I wish I could see Zexion again." Sora whispered when he heard a familiar voice.

"What did you say?" Zexion asked, smiling. The brunette was surprised that he stuttered.

"Uh-uh I said I wish I could....see.....uh...Demyx..." Sora replied, stuttering. The short-silver haired man smiled at him.

"I could take you to his house." Zexion said and before he knew it, he was already at Demyx's house. He was alone with the blonde and apparently, he was packing.

"Uh....Demyx," Sora said , wondering what he's going to say.

"Hmmm, what is it, Sora? You look troubled." Demyx stated as he finished the last bunch.

"Is it okay for you to leave Zexion?" Sora asked, this time with seriousness in his voice.

"It's not that I want to. Rather, I chose to leave. This is what I want." Demyx replied.

"I see....then did you understand what he feels about it?" Sora asked which surprised the blond easily.

"I've known Zexion since we were kids. I know it pains him so and so does my family. This is my destiny and I don't regret it." Demyx replied which made Sora frown.

"If that's the case, why?" the brunette asked. Demyx sighed heavily.

"Because I wanted to and Zexion of all people should understand this," Demyx said with a sad smile on his face. "That's how it supposed to be."

"Who told you to persuade him?" said an angry voice. Sora and Demyx were surprise because it seems that Zexion heard everything. "Leave!"

Sora frowned deeply but before he left, he said something to Zexion. "This is his choice. You can't deny it."

- - -

Three days had gone by and Sora haven't seen Zexion ever since the senior teen made him leave the mansion. All the students were gossiping and teasing the brunette. Not that he cares. As he continued to walk through the corridors, he stared at the silverete who happened to walk the opposite direction. Both teens stared at each other, ignoring everything else in their surroundings.

"Can we talk? It's really important." Riku said, trying to act normal for once.

Sora stared at him for a moment. "I sensed something odd from this guy," The shadows of his surroundings continue to pass by as he think. "But I think it would be better if I listened. After all, he did tell me about Zexion a few weeks ago."

"Sure." Sora said.

"Demyx is leaving tonight." Riku said.

The brunette was shocked. "What?!"

"He's leaving at the airport at 7 in the evening sharp." Riku said as if this doesn't surprise him then he left Sora all alone.

- - -

Evening has already fallen as Sora quickly ran to the airport. By the time he got there, Demyx was saying goodbye to Riku, Kuja, Kadaj, and Zexion. When they saw the brunette, they were a bit surprised except Demyx who smiled.

"Never thought you came here." Demyx grinned.

"So you're going?" Sora asked. "I guess I came here to say thanks for everything."

Demyx nodded and and was soon followed by an announcement that his flight is getting ready to leave. As the gang watch the blonde walk away, Sora noticed that Zexion is a bit confused.

"Why don't you just go with him?" the brunette asked.

At this, Zexion's eyes widen a bit then Sora continued. "Even though this is his choice, you can still go after him. Who knows what might happen and besides, you have friends to support you."

To his surprise, Riku, Kuja, and Kadaj were smiling and giving him thumbs-up. Zexion was overjoyed by their support so he looked at them for a while then to Sora. He walked near him and to the brunette's surprise, he kissed him on the forehead which earned a hard frown from Riku then he quickly left.

"Oi, Zexion! Catch!" Riku shouted as he threw something at him. Zexion caught it expertly with just one hand. It was a pear.

"No matter what happens, we're always with you and if anyone gives you trouble, just call us and we'll fly there!" the silverete said as a few small tears trickled his face. Zexion smiled at them then he finally left, going after Demyx. All of them turned their heads on the designated plane where Demyx is supposed to be in and finally it carrened to the sky.

"I guess that's that." Sora said but before he was going to leave, a wave of Heartless suddenly appeared at the airport. For some unknown reason, the people around them are paniking.

"What the hell is that?!" Riku asked as he saw Shadow.

"What are you talking about? We don't see anything!" Kuja said in bewilderment.

"What?! You can't see them?" Riku asked skeptically when all of a sudden, a mysterious person wearing a black coat appeared and slashed all the Heartless.

The three of them were stunned then the mysterious person(which is actually Sora) walked towards Riku. Both of them stared for a moment then finally, the person broke the silence.

"You can see them? I see well then I'm sure we will meet again. Be fortunate that I don't have to erase your memories of what you've seen here." he said then he quickly vanished leaving all three of them in bewilderment.
