By the time Riku and I got back to the party I was really starting to feel strange and it was really starting to bother me. Sora was the first one to notice our return.

"Oh there you two lovebirds are! Did you enjoy yourselves?" he said mischievously, eyes gleaming. I flinched. Poor Riku. Finally my vocal chords and my brain decided the nausea was too much to ignore silently anymore.

"I think I'm gonna be sick" I said, clutching my stomach. Riku was the only one who didn't completely crack up. They are all idiots.

"Nothing happened- We don't like each other like that." Riku explained. I mentally cringed at the half lie he just told.

"She doesn't like you because you're the world's worst kisser!" Tidus said. Ouch.

"I'm gonna be sick because I haven't eaten in three freaking months you dumbass!" I yelled. Everyone looked at me, their faces all shocked.

"That's impossible. No one can survive that long without food" Kairi said. Well then maybe this is what being on your deathbed is like. And then right on cue I passed out-again.

*Flashback…kind of*

"Who wants crab?"

"Not me!"

"Haha suit yourself- I'm gonna go eat!"

"Enjoy"

"Oh I will"

"I'm gonna be sick because I haven't eaten in three freaking months you dumbass!"

"That's impossible. No one can survive that long without food"

Eating was just an annoying chore that I had to complete from time to time. Nothing essential, I probably hadn't eaten in three months give or take a few weeks. I didn't need to eat when we were one person…..

But now I'm one person….does this mean I will die in negative time, that I've already died as just Lauren, that I can only live when we are together because being alone means I'm dead? I don't know….

If you die I will find you in the afterlife and kick your ass, you know that right?

Yeah

Then wake up!

*End sort of Flashback*

It felt like I had been hit in the face with something invisible, I felt like I was shoved back into consciousness, my eyes being forced open. I owe her one.

"Now would you like some crab?" Riku asked.

"Sure why not?" I said.

"Well I'll think about it." he said. Then he got hit over the head by Kairi.

"Riku just give her the damn food before she passes out again!" You have no idea how deserved another trip into unconsciousness would be right now. Riku sat down the plate of food right next to me. I sat up and carefully took a bite of crab. It tasted delicious. Good. While I continued to eat like I hadn't eaten in three months (Haha) everyone else began to calm down and went back to enjoying the party. By the time I was full, which was very unusual feeling for me, I had eaten 5 crab legs, a ton of fruit, a plate of chips and pretzels, and 2 smoothies.

"Someone's a little hungry huh?" Tidus said, sitting down next to me. Misery Business was playing on the radio and Selphie was doing karaoke with Sora, Wakka, and Kairi cheering her on. Riku was…well, I didn't know where Riku was.

"These smoothies are great!" I said, grabbing my 3rd off a small table.

"You know Wakka and I spiked those right?" he asked casually. I spit out my mouthful of smoothie

"You did what?!" I cried. I can not get drunk! What if I say something I shouldn't? And there's a lot of stuff I shouldn't say.

"Haha I'm only joking Lauren. You're so gullible."

"That's not funny!" I sobbed, dropping the smoothie and turning away from him, "My dad died in a drunk driving accident! You think I want to be thinking about alcohol right now?!" I turned and started down the bridge.

"Hey I'm sorry! I didn't know!" Tidus said, running after me. He caught up to me once I reached the shack, grabbing my arm. "I'm really sorry about your dad." He said. I smiled

"Who's the gullible one now?" I asked with a grin.

"You're horrible!" he exclaimed.

"You like it?"

"Haha whatever helps you sleep at night." Tidus smiled. 'So nothing when on between you and Riku huh"

"Nope, not a thing"

Then Tidus eyed the shack. Ok now I'm nervous. Uh-oh

"Can I show you something?" he asked me, before gesturing towards the shack. The thought of going into a dark shack alone with Tidus made me worried, not that I was going to let him do anything I didn't want him to but still, it would be bad.

"I don't know- I think we should head back. It's colder over here." I fake shivered for affect.

"Don't worry; I don't think that'll bother you for long." Before I could protest anymore I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"I think Lauren's about done with walks at night with guys- people might get the wrong idea" Riku! *insert hero theme music here* Riku slipped his hand into mine and pulled me towards the island. He turned back

"Are you coming Tidus?" he called, like he hadn't any clue of what Tidus had been planning. Tidus glared at Riku for a moment before starting his walk back towards the party, a few steps behind us.

"Tidus is one forward little bastard, just for the record" he whispered to me.

"Oh really, I hadn't noticed" I replied sarcastically. "Thanks" I added

"Wow I can't believe it! You really can thank people. It's amazing!"

"Yeah, yeah don't get used to it" I said before slipping my hand out of his and heading over to where everyone else was gathered.

"Hey we are gonna start serving cake you three! So get over here now!" Selphie yelled energetically I can practically see here shaking from the enormity of her sugar high. I wonder what all was in those smoothies…

"You get to do the honors!" Sora said, handing me the cutting knife.

"Well what a surprise" I said and everyone laughed. I did a few quick moves with the knife, including a few tosses into the air and a few cutting motions across the air.

"Ta-da!" I said, before handing Sora back the knife.

"Uh we were kind of expecting you to cut the cake…" he said uncertainly

"You guys have bad eyesight! Look down!" I replied with a laugh. Everyone looked down and, to their surprise; the cake was cleanly cut into seven pieces, one for each of us. The chorus of No ways! And how did you do that's?! And you have to show me how to do that's! That followed were music to my ears. Oh yeah, I'm good.

About an hour and a half later everything from the party was packed up and loaded onto the boats, everyone ready to head home for the night. Everyone said good night to me as they got into their boats and people started to head off. Riku had to stay a little later because it was his turn to put all the tiki torches into the water to cool and to check the island to be sure nobody forgot anything, at least, that's what he told me. I headed back to my little shack/ home where Riku met me. He opened the door and smiled

"As promised!" he said proudly. I gasped. Awesome, totally effing awesome. In front of me were an air mattress, three blankets, and a pillow.

"Thanks Riku! Man all I said was like a blanket or something! I like the color coordination of everything."

"Thanks. The style is called 'what I pulled out of the closet'!" We both shared a laugh before I plopped down on the air mattress; trying it out to be sure it was all the way inflated. It was an air mattress that could easily fit two people.

"Sweet" I said

"So is everything ok?" Riku asked

"Perfect, hey do you wanna try out the air mattress for yourself? It's pretty comfy"

"Yeah so are beds with like, real mattresses. And I just so happen to have one with my name on it waiting for at home." Riku replied

"Lucky bastard" I muttered. He laughed

"You know we could find you a way to live here on the island right?"

"I can't stay in one place for too long- it bothers me. I like seeing new places, an ever changing view" I lied. What I wouldn't give to able to stay here in heaven that isn't really heaven.

"Well I'm gonna head out. Don't forget- your explaining yourself to me tomorrow!" Riku said in a you-are-in-trouble voice

"Haha I won't forget. Say good bye to everyone for me ok?"

"Sure" Riku said before heading out the door. I sighed, why am I doing this? I got up and ran out the door. Riku turned around just as I embraced him.

"I'm really sorry for tonight. I really, really am Riku!" I said sadly. Riku gave my shoulder a squeeze before backing up so he could look me in the eyes.

"It's ok, I'll be fine. Really" I nodded uncertainly

"Ok….well good night Riku" I said with a wave before turning back to the shack

"Good night" I heard him whisper

When I got into the shack I found her lounging on the air bed.

"Took you long enough." she said, obviously annoyed. "I think I'm gonna be sick with all this crap. Oh Riku! Oh Lauren! Oh Riku! Oh Lauren-

"Shut up! By the way your two are going to be introduced tomorrow so I'd start working on the nice side of your personality"

"I don't have a nice side to my personality- that's your half"

"Oh well you're just going to have to try. No smiling by the way"

"Shit"

"What do you have against people?"

"I'm not a people person" she replied, like it was the most simple and obvious thing ever.

"Well this person is going to bed. Good night people"

"Good night person"

"Wake up. Sora and Kairi and everyone else are here, they all wanted to say good bye, and I hope you don't mind explaining to them who you are too." Riku's gentle voice was not good for awakening.

What did he just say?

Awe dammit

"I don't wanna explain. It was kinda supposed to be a secret in the first place. I can't tell anyone except the people I have to tell." I told him wearily. My panic was helping me wake up quicker than usual but not quickly enough for her apparently.

Get up Get up Get up!!! We have a big problem! Get! Up!!

………………

Lazy bitch

I am not lazy

Then get up

Fine

I sat up wearily to see Sora standing there too, right next to Riku.

"You heard everything I said didn't you." I asked him

"Yup I did and don't worry! We can all keep a secret! No one will know" Sora said calmly. Ugh

"I'm not leaving until I explain this to everyone huh." I said

"No you are not! The Keyblade Master commands it!" Sora said, his voice getting all deep at the keyblade master part.

Well this Keyblade Master's other half is gonna whoop your ass here in a second!

I'm gonna have to explain that too huh. Awe shit this is gonna a long day

"Ok you two scram-I'm gonna get ready then I will explain this whole damn secret to you nosy idiots, you guys will get pissed, and then I'm gone." I said. Sora looked confused but Riku murmured something about "again with the hating and being pissed off"

Hooray for positive attitudes!

Oh shut up you're gonna have to talk too!

You suck

Yes you do! Now that I've gotten my pep talk for the day we should probably figure out how we are going to explain this.

Oh please, I spent the night working on it

Hmmm not bad. Ok fine. It looks like I'm going to have to handle the keyblade part on my own though huh?

I will have nothing to do with that damn blade

I figured

I got ready and headed out of the shack where I was greeted by a way too bright sun and six sad/excited teens. They were sad that I was leaving but excited because well, who doesn't like learning some big secret? Certainly not any of these people. I stood in front of them, feeling like some sort of speaker and well, began speaking.

"So you guys all know I'm leaving today and, thanks to Riku, you are all going to know exactly who I am here in about an hour. I have a lot of explaining. Just a little P.S. - I will leave once I'm done and don't attack me, I'll hurt you" Everyone laughed at that

I don't think they understood that quite right

Well they will here in a second. Here goes nothing

Literally

Literally

I closed my eyes and felt as half of me left my body. I opened my eyes to see shocked faces and a shimmering shadow to my right. Then the shadow took on a form. Selphie and Kairi passed out immediately. Riku collapsed to his knees. Sora put his hands on his forehead and groaned. Tidus and Wakka both seemed to be in shock. I looked at my other half.

"Can you wake them up? They should hear this too." I said, gesturing to Selphie and Kairi

"Sure" she said.

"Don't touch them!" Sora said, finding his voice, barely.

"Sure thing" she replied with a flick of her wrist. Kairi and Selphie immediately came back to consciousness.

"What the- How did you…" Sora stammered.

"We'll explain everything. Don't worry." I replied, keeping my voice calm and steady. Sora just looked at me in disbelief.

"Oh my god" Kairi gasped, looking at the two of us, standing in front of everyone. Selphie whimpered and Tidus put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Well everyone, this is Fury" I said, pointing to my other half. She looked up and held her right hand up, moving four of her fingers back and forth a few times before going back to examining her nails. Yeah this is going to be a complete disaster. I sighed; well I guess I'd better get started.

Complete. Total. Cliffhanger. Yeah I know and I'm sorry. Mainly because I'm not going to be able to update my story for at least a week-I'm going on vacation. Well things are finally starting to get good and I do have Fury all planned out so when I get back I should be able to put together a nice long chapter!
