Memory

"Ah-aaah-aaaaah-CHOO!" Sniffling I rubbed my nose. Okay, maybe dancing in the rain wasn't the brightest thing to do, but it had been fun. Sneezing again I quickly wrapped my arms around my shivering body.

I guess it would have also been smart if I had brought a jacket or a sweat-shirt of some kind with me…

I was sitting on a bench in a deserted park, the rain still falling just as before. But that didn't bother me. I watched as the water ran down the sidewalk in rivulets, forming a puddle in the not-so-far-off distance. Everything seemed…so serene…

Placing my hands on either side of the wet bench, I swung my feet back and forth, spraying water in all directions and laughing as I did so. Oh the simple things that amused me. I just sat there and hummed quietly, legs kicking to the rhythm. It was only when I sneezed again that I figured I should probably head back home, that and I was sure my mom would be worrying about me right about now.

Standing up, I began to walk in the direction of home. You know...dancing in the rain is fun, but being soaked, cold, and hungry isn't. Next time I decided to go dance in the rain I'll have to make sure to wear some layers. That and strictly stay in the middle of the street in front of my house to avoid the long walk ba-

Thud!

Wincing as I suddenly went crashing to the ground, train of thought lost, I stared up at the person that I had unwittingly run into. Before we even made eye contact I diverted my gaze, a blush creeping its way slowly, yet steadily, up my face.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

Hadn't I told myself earlier that I needed to really stop rambling to myself? I came to the conclusion that not only was it probably not good for my health; I was oblivious to my surroundings when I did it, thus running into innocent bystanders. "I-I'm s-sorry."

O-o-Okay… then…maybe I'm a bit colder than I originally thought. My teeth were chattering.

I hand was suddenly placed in front of my face. Blinking, I clasped hands with the stranger who pulled me back upright with ease. Now back on my feet, I finally took a good look at the person I had run into.

He was slightly tall with a muscular build. He had deep sea green eyes and unique shining, silver hair. Beyond the fact that he had silver hair, it was his eyes that caught me off guard. I felt like I had seen them before. Maybe I had. What did I know? It wasn't like I could remember anyway. Smiling up at the teenager sheepishly I apologized for running into him, being the oblivious rambler that I was, and thanked him for helping me back up.

The other teen just flashed a pearly smile, one hand brushing wet silver bangs from his face and behind his ear. "It's no biggie. I wasn't exactly watching where I was going either." He chuckled softly. "Sorry, here, I'll walk you to your house."

I'm sure I had the facial expression my mom had dubbed 'the owl' written all over my face. The words 'the heck?!' ripping through my head. The silver haired stranger laughed slightly at me. "You're my new neighbor, so I might as well walk with you. It's the polite thing to do, ne?"

Nodding slightly, a sudden thought hit me. A very sudden and very creepy thought. "Heeeey, how do you know I'm your new neighbor?"

The silver haired teen's eyebrows rose up at that question. "Well one, I woke up this morning to a car in the drive way of the house that didn't have anybody living in it yesterday and two, I woke up this morning to find a stranger dancing like a lunatic in the pouring rain in front of my house."

The crap? Why was he in the park, was he stalking me?!

Feeling his piercing gaze on me, I pulled myself out of my thoughts. "Err, what? Is there something on my face?" I self consciously raised my hand to my cheek, wiping at it slightly.

He was looking at me oddly; looking at me as if I was a new species of human just recently discovered and had two heads. "You just called me a stalker..."

Oh shit. Cocking my head to the side, I gave my 'What the hell are you talking about look?' Which I think had no effect on this obviously not-human being. I mean, it didn't have effect on this guy, he couldn't be human. "I have no clue what you're talking 'bout."

"You called me a stalker." He insisted, one hand going to his hip, his own head tilting to the side.

Well, he stated the obvious. See, rambling, it's not good for you, it gets you in awkward situations.

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't.'

"Yes you did."

"No, really, I didn't.'

"Yes, really, you did."

"No."

"Yes."

Deciding to end an argument that I'm pretty sure that could out last life itself, I did the natural thing. I changed subjects as quickly as possible. "No. Oh, I'm Sora. What's your name?" I questioned, holding my hand out in greeting,

Hand falling from his waist, he gripped my own. "Names Riku." He said, shaking it twice. "So how about I walk you home now? I don't really feel like staying in the rain any longer."

Nodding, we both headed out of the quiet clearing surrounded by trees with the lone bench in the middle of it.

Talking to Riku the whole way home, I learned a few things about when I have to go to school. One, try to avoid all hyper active children with the name Selphie and two, don't get on some guy named Cloud's bad side. If you did the repercussions had been something along the lines of being stabbed with a corn on the cob…chocolate bar???

Besides that I also found out something else...I think…

"Bye Sora. I'll see you around." He paused for a second. "You can come over any time you like." He said with a wink, slowly walking into the house to the left of mine.

Now what was that supposed to mean?!

I think he's gay...

ShadowedDarkness: okeday then. I actually have Riku in this bit...

Riku: bout time you ass.

ShadowedDarkness: (glares) Don't push it. And as I was saying, now I actually have some action coming in the next chapter. Sora goes to school, aaaand (squeals happily) might have gotten off to a bad start with someone!!!

Sora: Wwwwww-WHAT?! But I didn't do anything!!

Riku: (goes over and hugs Sora) we know you didn't you empty-headed nut case.

ShadowedDarkness: riiiiiiiiiiight...well, looky at the shiny button 'n' press it!!! I'll give you a cookie if you do. (holds out home-made chocolate chip) you know you want a cookie!! And you want to review!!! So here!
