Chapter Two-Betrayal

When Riku arrived at a white house, he walked up the steps and rung the doorbell. He could girls talking inside the house and he figured Kairi wasn't alone. He heard Kairi's best friend, Selphie as well.

He leaned against the white rail and folded his arms against his chest, waiting patiently for someone to answer the door.

A few minutes later, the door opened and Kairi appeared in the door way. She was dressed in a white tank top, a yellow bracelet on her right wrist, a purple miniskirt and white flip-flops. Her red haired was tied in a messy bun.

When his aqua eyes laid on his friend, a taint of blush appeared on Riku's cheeks.

Riku used to have a crush on Kairi, when he first met her, but he thought it was just a kid's crush. However, seeing her now, sort of brought back those old feelings.

Just a little.

"Hey," Kairi greeted.

For a moment Riku didn't answer her, but he felt his cheeks getting hotter and hotter by the second as he was admiring Kairi's body.

"H-hey," Riku said after a moment of staring at Kairi. "What's up?"

"Nothing much, just cleaning up the place with Selphie as you can see." Kairi widened the door so Riku can see inside the house.

He saw Selphie vacuuming in the background and she waved at him. Riku then waved back and looked back at Kairi. "So, since you almost finish cleaning, I was wondering if you want to hang out for a while?"

"Of course Riku." Kairi then turned around to see Selphie finished vacuuming. "Hey Selphie, you want to come with us?"

"I wish I could you guys, but I have to go babysit my neighbor's daughter. I'll see you guys tomorrow at school," Selphie said leaving the house.

Kairi and Riku waved goodbye to their friend when she began walking home. "Let me go freshen up a bit Riku." The red-haired went back in her house and came back out a couple minutes later. Her hair wasn't tied in a bun no more, it was let down. "You want to head to town?"

"NO!" Riku shouted which startled Kairi. He suddenly remembered that Sora was still in town and if Kairi were to spot him, then Sora's plan would be ruin. "I mean, um lets go to the um...Blitzball game that our school is having today...yeah lets do that."

"Uh, o..kay."

As the two was walking to the school, Riku eyes kept wandering at Kairi. Whenever she glanced at him and smile, Riku will blush and face the opposite direction.

Damn, why am I suddenly blushing when Kairi looks at me. I can't have feelings for her. It's Sora who is in love with her, Riku thought.

"Hey Riku?" Kairi said interfering with his thoughts.

"Y-yeah Kai?"

"Where is Sora? Its rare seeing you guys separated."

"He's around...somewhere. He told me he'll join us shortly after he's done doing things.."

Kairi nodded. "Okay, I hope he join us soon. It's fun having him around."

Riku felt his heart twinged when Kairi mentioned about Sora, and how fun he is. He thought he was fun to hang around too. But thats what he thought.

He knows Kairi likes Sora a lot but he couldn't help but be jealous by it. She does hang around with Sora more than she does with him. That is because Kairi thinks Riku is much more serious and uptight, while Sora is loose and more understandable when hanging with.

When Riku thought about it, he never had a one one one time with Kairi. To come to think of it, Sora always spends his time with Kairi and when Riku does spend time with her, Sora is always around.

Maybe now he can spend time with Kairi without Sora interrupting them.

Kairi glanced at Riku and saw him frowning. "Hey, your fun to hang around with too," Kairi laughed. "After all, we're best friends right?"

"Yeah, we are," Riku said with a smile.

Elsewhere, Sora was in town searching in every store to find Kairi the perfect gift. They had nice gifts, but he wanted to find something very special. A gift that matches Kairi's personality and how beautiful she looks.

Coming out the last store, the brunette sighed and glanced at the night sky. "At this rate, I'll never find Kaira a perfect gift." He saw shops closing as he walked down the street and he sighed once more.

He sat down on a bench, hands on his cheeks as he frowns.

"Giving up already I see," A voice spoked causing Sora to fall off the bench.

He was looking around to see where the voice came from.

"How many times do I have to tell you Sora, look sharp." Roxas suddenly appeared on a shop's window.

"Roxas!" Sora stood up and walked towards the window. "What are you doing?"

"You were sad, so I came to help you."

"You can't help me Roxas. It's too late finding Kairi a gift."

Roxas shook his head and folded his arms across his chest. "Tsk , tsk, tsk. Its never too late to find her a gife. Like it's never too late to save the world from the heartless. You never gave up then, why now?"

Sora shrugged his shoulders. "That is different from what I'm about to do. I love Kairi and telling someone how you feel isn't easy."

"Maybe you aren't looking hard enough." Roxas disappeared before Sora could say anything else. He then saw a special gift for Kairi through the shop's window. It was a gold pendant that had rainbow rhinestones on each side, and in the middle part was a huge rainbow gem.

Sora remembered that Kairi likes colorful things and this pendant will be perfect for her. He went inside the store and found the store clerk behind the counter.

"Excuse me sir?" Sora called out to the clerk.

When the clerk turned around, he turned out to be an old man, that look oddly familiar to Sora. He looked exactly like Merlin, the wizard that helped him during his time fighting against the heartless.

"Merlin?"

The old man cocked his eyebrows, confused by the young teen mistaking him for someone else. "Pardon me?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry sir. I thought you was someone I know," the brunette apologized.

The old man smiled and said "It's okay son. So, what can I help you with?"

"Yes, I was wondering much this pendant cost?" Sora pointed at the colorful item.

"Oh, this right here. Its cost 2000 munny."

"2000 munny!" Sora shouted. "Aw man, how am I going to give Kairi this gift. I guess I'll find another gift." Sighing, he turned around and slowly strolled out of the store.

The old man watched as the young teen made his way out of the store. He felt that the young teen really wanted to buy this gift for this girl. "Do you really love this girl you speak off?"

Sora turned back around seeing the old man smiling at him.

"Do you love her, this Kairi?"

Sora blushed and was scratching the back of his head. "Hehe, I wouldn't say love at the moment since we are still teens, but yeah I do."

"Well, to be honest my son, this pendant actually belongs to my wife and since she has passed away, I have kept this pendant here," He said putting while putting the pendant in his hand. "Thats the reason why its so expensive because I don't want to lose my only memory of her."

Sora nodded. He understood why the old store clerk has the pendant so high. It's his only memory of his wife and didn't want to buy something that was valuable to him.

"But I'll give it away to you just because you really love this Kairi and you won't have to spend a single penny."

Sora's blue eyes lit up. "Oh thank you so much, but are you sure you want to give it away? I don't want to buy your only memory you have of your wife."

The man shook his head. "Its okay son, she will always be in my memory and also my heart. So go on and give it to her. She will definitely love it." The man handed the pendant to Sora.

Sora took the pendant and thanked the elder man one more time before leaving the shop.

Later that night, Kairi and Riku returned from their school's blitzball team and were walking back to the Kairi's house.

"So, that was a pretty interesting game, don't you think Kai?" Riku asked the red haired.

"Yeah, we could have left earlier if it wasn't for those triple overtimes."

"But at least we won." He nodded.

"Barely," Kairi added.

Silence filled the air as the two friends continued their walk to Kairi's home. As they were past the beach, Kairi noticed the full moon in the sky.

"Look Riku." Kairi pointed to the sky. "The moon is out tonight. You want to go watch the moon with me?"

"Uh, I guess so," Riku followed Kairi down to the sandy beach. "What is so great about watching a moon anyway? Its just a big white ball."

Kairi rolled her eyes. She slipped off her flip-flops and sat on the sand. "It helps you relax and think about what you've done so far in life. Plus, you have a girl watching it with you." She winked.

Riku sighed and sat down next to her on the sand. He really didn't see the point on watching something that always in night sky. But luckily for him his watching with Kairi.

They sat their listening to waves in the ocean. "You know Kairi, you were right. Staring at the ocean does make you relax. Actually, I remembered me and Sora sitting here like this on the dark side, waiting for something to happen."

Kairi smiled. "See, I told you. Aren't I always right."

Riku nodded. "Yeah, your right most of the time."

Then the red haired smiled slowly transformed into a frown. Riku noticed and wondered what was bothering her. "Is there anything wrong Kai?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "Do you think...Sora likes me...really?"

Riku sighed and thought to himself. She always talking about him and not me.

He didn't want to hurt Kairi and tell her how he feels about her and then causing their friendship to stir up. She felt the same with Sora and he felt the same about her. Why ruin it?

"Of course he does Kairi. He talks about you all the time and if I was him, not only will I confess , but ask you to marry me in the future!" He then grabbed her hands, surprising her. "I know how much you like Sora, but the truth is...I'm jealous of him."

Kairi slightly tilted her head to the side. She was wondering why would he be jealous of his friend. "You're jealous of Sora? Your own best friend and why is that?"

"Kairi don't you see. I'm not jealous of him. I'm jealous of him because he loves you and I do the same way. I. Love. You. Kairi."

Finally he let it all out and told her his feelings. The confession left Kairi stunned and confused all at once. She never thought Riku would be jealous of Sora because he likes her. Now she doesn't know what to do anymore.

Her heart opened with other feelings and it was from Riku. She used to like Riku as well more than Sora, but she spent more time with her brunette friend than her sliver hair friend.

Was it unfair?

"Riku, I-I..."

"Look," Riku spoke, cutting Kairi off. "I'm sorry for what I've just said and I know that you like Sora a lot, but I wanted to let you know how I feel about you. You know what, just forget I said anything."

Then the sliver haired started walking away, hands in pockets, kicking some seashells along the way. At this point, Riku didn't care anymore about that he confess his feelings. It didn't matter to him if it tarnished his friendship with Kairi or with Sora. He did want he had to do and didn't regret it.

"Riku wait!" Kairi called out to him. Riku stopped dead in his tracks but he didn't turn around to look at her. He thought she would make him feel even worse by telling him they couldn't be friends no longer.

"Riku, what I was trying to say was that...I-I...love you too..."

His aqua eyes widened and then turning around looking at her blue eyes. Did she just say what he thought she just say? She love him? What about Sora?

"I thought you loved Sora. You've shown it when you guys are around each other."

"I do Riku but its different now. I only got to like him because he was around more everyone pressured me to go with him. No one never really asked me who I really liked. I just assumed that I did like Sora. It was unfair because I liked you at first and never Sora." Kairi walked up to Riku and hugged him.

Riku suddenly didn't feel alone anymore. For as long as Riku can remember, he always thought he would be a loner and never have someone around him. Even during their adventures, he was a loner and was alone on the dark side. He thought it was he fate but now it was different. He can finally be with someone.

He had found ways to keep safe Kairi safe and way from harm. His life didn't matter at the time and his focus was to get Kairi back home. He impersonated as Ansem while protecting her. Although Kairi found out who he truly was, he was watching her in the shadows. Now, he doesn't need to watch her in the shadows.

"Kairi," he whispered, caressing her cheeks.

She stood on her toes, her faces inches from his and with her eyes close. He hesitated for a moment, wondering what will happen next. What will Sora say if they saw them? Will he feel like a traitor? He was his best friend and promised helping him get with Kairi.

What he was doing was wrong but it didn't matter to him. Only thing that matter to him was that he was a man in love.

Then their lips touched releasing a heat of passion.

Near the beach, Sora tried calling Riku's cellphone a few times, but he never got an answer. It always went straight to his answering machine. He had a feeling something wasn't right, he can feel in his heart.

"Maybe their at the beach taking a dip in the water. Maybe thats why Riku isn't answering his phone."

Sora hurried to the beach since it was getting late outside. He doesn't want his mom to be worrying about him being out late. She can be very paranoid about it.

When he reach the beach, Sora saw no one there. Where are they He thought. As he searched for his friends, he began hearing faint sounds. He could hear the sound getting louder as he continued following it. The sound lead him to their secret hideout.

Then he heard Riku's name in a whisper. "Riku, Kairi, you guys over here?" Sora said quietly.

Behind the trees, he saw Riku and he was nude, and a girl moan was heard. Sora snickered, he figured Riku was having sex with a girl.

Sora narrowed his eyes to get a better look and spotted a length of red hair. He moved an inch closer and his eyes widened in horror and disbelief.

Yes Riku was having sex with a girl, but it was...Kairi. Riku was having sex with the girl he was about to confess too.

Riku, his best friend, or so he thought, promised to help him. "Why?" Sora asked himself. It was the only word popping in his mind. Sora couldn't take one second of this betrayal from his friends and he took off running, angry, disappointed and sad. Near the two friends was the pendant Sora brought for her.

It was worthless to be worn.

Just read and review.
