Ok so here is chapter #5! And my disclaimer (said by someone other than Sora because Sora doesn't know it!)

Riku- You have no disclaimer

Me-Seriously?

Riku-yup

Me- ok then

Sora- What?! When I didn't know the disclaimer I got in trouble but when Riku doesn't know the disclaimer….?!

Me-Correction: You said you didn't know the disclaimer. Riku said I don't have a disclaimer. There's a difference.

Sora-That's stupid

I leaned back and closed my eyes, felling the sun's heat on my face. The image of the sunset seemed imprinted in the inside of my eyelids. "I love the sunset here, it's really beautiful"

Ok now I'm going to go attempt to throw up.

"Yeah the sunsets here are great. That's actually one of the things I missed most about Destiny Islands" Riku said. We were both sitting on the crooked tree that was on the small island, having already done our part in preparing for our luau.

"Who wants crab?!" Sora yelled, revealing a bowl full of crab legs. I'm pretty sure I saw Tidus start drooling.

"Not me!" I said quietly so only Riku could here me.

"Haha suit yourself I'm going to eat!" he said, getting up.

"Enjoy" I said

"Oh you know I will!" he said with a wink. I smiled before leaning back with my eyes closed. I put my hands behind my head as I fell towards the sand. I used my hands which were firmly on the ground to bring myself into a hand stand, before falling forwards so I landed on my feet.

"So what all is there?" I asked, clapping my hands together. Kairi took my hand and led me around and pointed out all the different things there were to eat and drink.

I'm getting sicker by the minute.

There were chips and pretzels (of course) crab, a fruit bowl filled with fresh fruits from all over the island, and a devil's food cake with white frosting for desert.

Haha Devil's Food, do you think they know about us.

I thought you weren't going to laugh anymore.

I never made any promises.

"So where's the throne for the guest of honor? Since you guys went all out on everything else since I'm here." I joked. Kairi smiled and looked around before turning back to me

"How did you know about going all out for you?" she whispered

"Selphie told me" I replied.

"Selphie" Kairi hissed "of course! Well I hope you don't mind, Riku said you wouldn't be here very long so we thought we would give you a party Destiny Islands style!" she said.

Riku said what? Grrr

"Don't worry someone I trusted has already spilled a secret of mine too." I replied. Leaving Kairi there looking confused I headed over to Riku, who was have an eating contest with Sora to see who could eat 5 crab legs the fastest. Riku had an advantage though since he was stronger and could just break open the crab legs with his hands. This is pretty amazing though, I'm impressed. They have the tiki torches all around this little island, the music, the food, and- is Selphie seriously wearing a grass skirt?! That's weird. When I got over to where Riku and Sora were, surrounded by Tidus and Wakka, Riku was about to start on his last crab legs and Sora was only on his 3rd.

"Looks like Sora is gonna be the winner of this one because I need to talk to you, now." I told Riku, grabbing his shoulder and pulling him up.

"Can't it wait?!" Riku protested. I leaned in close to him and whispered

"If you don't come with right this freaking second I will knee you so hard no one will ever believe you're a guy!"

"Coming" Riku said with a sigh. I led him down the wooden bridge to the entrance to the shack so no one could hear us. Riku looked at the shack and his eyes widened.

"Oh I get it now." He said with a weird glint in his eye.

Is he serious?

Is he really saying what I think he's saying?

I think so

He's a self-absorbed idiot sometimes.

"No stupid! I've known you for a day! I'm not going in the freaking shack alone with you! My God! I want to talk to you about how you told everyone I was leaving tomorrow!" Riku blushed…badly.

"I figured you would want to say good-bye to everyone!" he said

"One freaking good-bye is enough thank you!" I snapped at him. Oh shit

"Well I'm sorry I have to bother you so much! You can just leave tomorrow and don't worry! I won't be here when you do!" Riku said before storming off.

"Riku!" I yelled, but he ignored me. I groaned before sinking to the ground, bringing my knees up to my chest.

I barely know him. So why am I so sad?

Yeah Lauren! Why are you so sad?

I don't know.

Stop feeling hopeless- it's annoying!

I looked up to see Riku and Kairi standing together. Kairi looked pretty angry. They are probably both really mad about how awful I was to Riku. Then they will tell everyone else so they can all plan my demise, by which time I will be a few worlds away. This sucks.

I closed my eyes and strained my hearing, trying to pick up what they were saying; Kairi did appear to be yelling. I waited but I didn't hear anything.

No you just don't want to hear anything.

Either way I can't tell what they are talking about.

I rested my head between my knees and wondered what to do. If I should just leave right then or wait and see how this all turned out. In the distance I heard footsteps but I didn't look up until the footsteps stopped. They had sounded pretty distant even when they stopped so I wondered how I could still hear them if I hadn't been able to hear Kairi yelling across the bridge. I looked up to see a pair of black shoes right in front of me. And guess what? They were connected to legs, and a torso, and a head. And the head had silver hair.

Dammit I have the worst luck!

Sorry I'm pretty sure that's my fault.

"You walk fast" I mumbled, refusing to look him in the eyes.

"You know we did this whole giant luau thing for you and you're over here moping." Riku said. He squatted down so he was at my eye level, putting his elbows on his knees. He looked at me, his eyes gentle.

"Leave me alone to fade into darkness." I mumbled, right then nothing really seemed to matter.

What did you say?

You heard me

"What did you say?

"I said you heard me!" I yelled looking up.

Oh wait, that was Riku the 2nd time wasn't it?

Nice.

"Are you done yelling?" he asked. Am I done being a bitch is more like it, I suck.

"Hey stop being emo! That's my job" he said with a grin. I paused.

"YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?!" I yelled

"Use my line against me so funny hahaha" Riku said before standing up and offering me his hand.

What did he say? AAHHH he's my male reincarnate!

If having one line in common means he's your reincarnate then I'm his, which sucks.

'Oh right, in that case he's him and I'm us. Because no one can be you, you're too bizarre

That was almost a compliment

I took Riku's hand and he pulled me up.

"Ready to go back" I asked.

"No not quite" he replied.

"Huh?"

"You'll see I just want to show you the other half of the island before it gets too dark. Since you haven't seen it yet"

Au contraire Silver Haired Bastard

Haha that was actually funny. Well this half hasn't seen the Cove yet so I want to go!

Then I'm leaving, I'll be in the shack when you are done with your boring party.

Ok bye!

Whatever

As soon as she was gone I began to feel a little funny but I quickly brushed it off. I had felt much, much worse so I wasn't about to let a little bit of nausea get to me. Riku showed me around to the obstacle course, and the little zip line, ad the raft that he, Kairi, and Sora had all built before the Heartless had invaded their island.

"Now we know that the raft isn't going to get us to other worlds but we might still go sailing for a little while, our world isn't that big so we would reach our home pretty fast.

"Hey what's that?" I asked, pointing towards a lighter colored object up on top of a small bush that was growing into the side of the island.

"Here I'll show you." Riku said. I followed him up a small hill and across a few of the bushes to where a small star was pinned on top of a branch.

"For our obstacle course we always have to touch this star before we head back to the starting line" he said.

"Oh ok, it's really cool looking. Now are you ready to head back?"

"What are you afraid of me?"

"Oh you caught me!" I said with a roll of my eyes

"I hope I don't scare you." Riku said looking worried for a moment. He turned away for a moment before turning back quickly.

"BOO!" he yelled. I didn't even flinch.

"I've seen scarier" I said casually, pretending to exam my nails. Riku smirked before putting one hand against the wall. I eyed his hand, wondering why it had landing so close to my shoulder.

"Hey I need to tell you something"

"I need to tell you something too." I replied.

"What is it?"

"That I needed to tell you something, there I told you."

"Haha" Riku said dryly "But I actually have something serious to say."

"Go right ahead" I said with a wave of my arm

"It's just that…I know I've only known you for like a day but, I really like you." Shit. Not this. Be strong Lauren. Even if you have to break him and yourself too. Wait what?! Oh god.

"I really like spending time with you and…I feel like I know you, already" I just looked up at him, mentally begging for him to say gotcha! Or just kidding! It didn't come. He gently put his hand on my cheek; it was warm…and comforting. I wanted to put my hands on his and lean my head into his hand and tell him everything. Starting with who I really was. He leaned forward towards me, slowly. I really do hate myself. His face was so close now I could see his face perfectly, and his face was completely flawless, perfect. Ugh I really do have the worst luck! I. Suck! I lifted up my hand to block his lips, gently. He opened his eyes in shock. My eyes are the definition of miserable.

"Look Riku, I like you too but-

"Not like that" he finished. There was so much disappointment there it hurt for me to hear it.

"It's just…. You don't know who I am, not really. He grabbed my hand and brought up so that we could both see our hands intertwined with one another's.

"Then show me. Tell me. Tell me so that I know all about you."

"I will Riku. I really will" his eyes widened with surprise. Wait! I haven't dropped the bomb yet!

"But I know you will hate me when I do" I finished. Aahhh there it is. BOOM!!

"What? I would never hate you."

"I'm not gonna charge you for that later" I said glumly. "Can we go back now?" Riku nodded

"Sure."

"Hey Riku"

"Yeah"

"I'm glad you're my friend, and I won't tell anyone about this"

"Thanks" I gently slid my hand out of his before heading back to where the party was, a party full of happy people with no idea what just happened. I felt a weird feeling in my heart. I was surprised I could even feel my heart. Surely it isn't that strong? It shouldn't be. Riku fell into step behind me, not saying a word. I could tell his eyes were full of pain though, because that's what I did. I caused pain, one way or another.

Aaawwww so sad! Seriously I almost started crying while I was writing this. Don't worry Riku won't be sad too long! But he will become unsad in a way you wouldn't expect…Haha mysterious! Yeah so this chapter was long and sad. I'm not sure how long my next chapter will be. Probably shorter than this one. The next chapter does explain a lot though so keep checking in! Review please! I have no reviews so far so be special and be the first to review! (Please?)
