Chapter 2
The room looked like a cemetery, broken and missing gravestone-like pieces. There were thirteen different graves and one, unbroken and complete, looked like a potal of some kind. It had an oddly malevolent feel to it.
Sora shivered as he entered the room. He snuggled up against Riku, for 'warmth.' Riku withdrew, stepping a couple of feet away from Sora. Sora was shocked, a tear nearly rolled down his cheek. Riku just didn't seem like himself. His heart seemed cold, like he could no longer love him. Now he wanted Riku back, more than ever.
"Hey, Kairi," Sora said. "Could you give me and Riku a minute alone? He needs to be cheered up."
"Oh, poor Riku!" Kairi said. "I'll help."
"No, Kairi. It's a guy thing," Sora told her. "So, please give us five minutes. And King Mickey, you too. Take Donald and Goofy with you."
"Aw, but Sowa," Donald complained. "We want to help."
"Yeah. We care about Riku, too, hu-yuck!" Goofy said.
"But I'm his best friend. He needs only me right now. You can help by giving us a couple moments alone." Sora stated, his patience ebbing away.
"Okay," Donald said, rather disappointed. "Come on, your majesty."
King Mickey began to leave. "Come on, Goofy, hurry up."
"Yes, your majesty," Goofy said, bounding after Donald and the King.
Kairi stayed put as the trio left. "I refuse," she said. "I can tell that Riku wants me here. I'm his friend, too."
Riku, who had had his back turned in silence, turned to face Kairi. "You are, Kairi, but like Sora said, it's a guy thing." He gently lifted her chin and kissed her. Sora's eyes widened and face immediately turned beet red with anger and jealousy. "Just five minutes," Riku finished.
Kairi, blushing redder than the Queen of Hearts, smiled, turned and ran out.
Sora immediately turned on Riku. "What the hell was that?" he demanded, tears welling up in his eyes. "I thought we had something! All I ever did was love you! Never anyone else! Only you! And you betray my love for her! Why? Why'd you hurt me like this?" Tears were now flowing down Sora's face in a steady stream.
Riku's response was slow and calm. "It meant nothing, Sora. I kissed her to make her leave. She thinks I like her. By doing that, I gave her a sense of assurance that nothing would happen between us, but of course…" He stepped up to Sora and stroked the side of his face. "I lied." He bent slightly and kissed Sora.
Sora's temper dissipated. He smiled a gentle smile and gazed into Riku's eyes. "I'm sorry. For accusing you. It was just…unexpected."
"It's okay. I would have been upset, too," Riku said, gently stroking Sora's chin. He kissed his forehead. Then his cheek. And then…
It was the most passionate kiss they had ever had, their lips caressing each other in an eternal euphoria. The kiss continued for what seemed like hours, tongue and all. Sora's arms were wrapped around Riku's shoulders. Riku ran his hand down Sora's chest, closer and closer to the edge of his pants. He gently nudged his fingers into the space between pants and waist. Now, his fingers were completely down. And…
WAH! WAH! BABY PHAROH HUNGRY!
Riku withdrew his hand and reached in his pocket, pulling out his cell phone. "Sorry," Riku said. "That's my new ring tone. It's from Yu-Gi-Oh the abridged series. Remind me to show it to you later."
Sora sighed a sigh of frustration. Every time they were being so intimate, something always messed it up. And odds were it was…
"Hello?" Riku asked into the phone. "Oh…It's you, Kairi." Yup, Sora was right. Riku rolled his eyes. "What is it? No, we're not done. Can we have five more minutes? Uh-huh. Fine. Whatever." He hung up and returned the phone to his pocket. "She's coming in. She says the five minutes are up."
Sora jumped forward and quickly gave Riku a last minute kiss. He also gently stroked Riku's crotch. "I can't stand to see you in this body. Please, promise me you'll change back when you can. For me."
"I promise," Riku replied.
Kairi come quickly in, followed by Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey. She came up and stood between Sora and Riku, her back to Sora and looking up at Riku. She tried to grasp his hand, but he slid it into his robe. She stepped back, a hurt look on her face. A tear slowly appeared in her eye, but didn't fall.
"We should get going," King Mickey interjected. "Who knows how much progress Organization XIII has made."
"Right," Sora said, glancing at Riku. "Let's go!"
They headed toward the first gravestone and stepped through.
