Sora Pov

Why the hell was I doing this? I can't believe I'm doing this! I was walking through the hallways of the school receiving so many stares. What's funny is that no one knew who I was even when I looked them directly in their eyes.

"Is that the new student?" Everyone continued to say as I walked to the classroom door. I sighed and opened the door to see everyone's face was stunned.

"This is our new student everyone. Will you please introduce yourself to the class?" And I can't believe they even got the whole school involved but gave them a different reason for the occasion.

"My name is Manami Akahara and I'm only here for today so please be nice to me." I felt so pathetic giving a pouty face plus I didn't have much to say anyway, but good thing I was good at changing my voice.

"You make a good girl, Sora" I read Tidus' lips from a far. I didn't know whether to think dirty or to be offended. I smiled to the class and most of the guys stood up and both whistled or screamed. What the hell is up with them? I bet they're hornballs! Then the girls gave disgusted looks. Why can't this day go any faster?

"You'll get to talk to her during break now let's begin class." Wait, they're going to let everyone talking to me? What about my mission?

"Ms. Akahara, you will be sitting in the front row." Already? What are they doing to me! Riku wasn't even here! I hope this didn't waste their effort. What am I saying? This is the worse idea they've ever came up with! And this wig is making my head itchy! All of a sudden Riku walked in the room and he looked different. He had on an eye patch. Wait, an eye patch? Was that the reason why I couldn't take his helmet off the other day? Why couldn't he just tell me? Don't mess this up by getting angry Sora. I have to hold this in and not lash out at him…yet. I must stay in character. When he sat down, he looked at me then went back to what he was doing. He probably figured out that I was a new student. Hopefully he fell for the disguise.

I don't know what was up with Mr. Cloud today, but he was really making me strain my voice, that bastard. It was probably because I didn't turn in his homework the other day. I thought the assignment was unnecessary and we still argue over it. I was not going to give up that easily. I did need a drink of water though…

"Excuse me Mr. Cloud, may I go get some water?" I asked politely and he smirked at me.

"Usually I would say no and tell everyone to wait until break," I will hang him with my wig after I'm finished with it!

"But since you're new I will let you go." Now that's more like it!

"Thanks Mr. Cloud."Before I could even get to the door I heard Tidus get up from his seat and spoke out loud to the class.

"Mr. Cloud, can I go to the bathroom? I've been waiting for a whole hour!"

"Maybe he wants to hump on the new student." Someone yelled out and I cringed to the thought of it. Everyone laugh and I saw Riku shake his head. At least he appeared to feel somewhat better. I walked out the room to the water fountain and leaned down trying not to get the wig wet in the water when I heard a random voice from behind.

"So you're the new student." It was Neku out of all people. Why was he coming to school so late? And I hope he doesn't see through my disguise.

"Y-yeah…" What could I do? I just turn my gaze from him and continued drinking from the fountain. He walked up closer and brushed his hand against my ass. I jumped up and attempted to slap him, but he caught my hand.

"Whoa you guys calm down!" Tidus rushed over.

"You shouldn't be picking on the new student." Tidus walked over with Riku behind him. Why was Riku here?

"Whatever" Neku walked pass them. What got my attention was the way Riku and Neku glared at each other. Their eyes were filled with hatred. Neku smirked in his face and Riku gritted his teeth at him.

"Mr. Cloud let you out?"

"Only if Riku watches me! This here is Riku by the way." Tidus nudged earning a glare from Riku himself, but this one was somewhat annoyed.

"Hello Riku my name is Manami Akahara." He nodded. There he goes being silent again.

"I'm Tidus!" That idiot jumped in between us and shouted in my ears.

"Yes I've heard about you on my way to class."

"Oh ho, so I'm the talk around with the ladies now." He said so confidently and I twitched.

"No they told me to stay away from you." I made up just to irritate him. He tensed up and I giggled. Riku's mouth twitched as he laughed a bit.

"Riku that's not funny!" Tidus yelled.

"Aren't you supposed to go to the bathroom?" I said making he realize it.

"I don't have to go anymore—"

"Eeeew" Riku said in a nonchalant voice that made me laugh myself.

"Not like that! Riku how could you!" Tidus stormed off to the class room and we both shared a laugh together.

"I suppose we should head back." Riku said gazing at me. I almost melted just staring into his eyes.

"A-Alright, but will Tidus be alright?" He laughed at my question and put his hand on his hip, shifted his weight onto the wall.

"Hell be fine…you know something? You have the exact same eyes of someone I know." He leaned in closer and I backed away.

"W-Who is this person?" I have to know how he feels.

"Someone special to me, someone that means the whole world to me, of course you wouldn't understand." He walked to the class leaving me with a happy yet angry feeling. Of course I understand! You're talking to him! Ugh if I could rip this wig off and prove it to him now, but it'll have to wait. I followed behind him feeling like a million bucks right now. I really felt like skipping to class, but not in this skirt. There's no way in hell I'm going to move so much in this skirt.

Finally it was lunch time and I was starving! Of course I had to eat like a 'young lady' however that works as long as I didn't gobble down my food like a maniac.

"Hey Manami, want to join us for lunch?" Tidus called out from the back of the room.

"Why hang out with him when you could hang out with us!" Someone on the opposite side of the room yelled out.

"You're getting quite the attention today." Neku pops up again but this time in front on my desk.

"Get lost…" I grabbed my things and headed to Tidus. Neku was being too persistent today. I see why Joshua ended up with Riku for the moment.

"What's going on with him?" Tidus whispered in my ear.

"He's bothering me and its starting to annoy me." I whispered back in my own voice.

"So Riku I heard you were top of the school." I started the conversation between everyone since it was quiet.

"Yeah I guess so…"

"What do you mean you guess so?" Kairi asked.

"I slipped up and I got a B on one of my exams. Maybe I've been hanging around Sora too much." My skin crawled and I felt like my head could turn all the way around after hearing that. What made it worse was that Tidus was laughing so hard. I mean come on he was exaggerating it by banging on the table. I stomped on Tidus' toe and made him scream.

"I'm so sorry I didn't see your foot there!" Translation: You're not the only one that I'm coming after now you bastard.

"I-It's alright..." Yeah you better be scared once I get out of this outfit.

"You know, I heard you can sit on the roof of the school here. I never did that before."

"Riku can take you!" Tidus yelled and Riku choked on his food.

"T-Tidus?" Riku stuttered on his words while holding his chest.

"What? She hasn't been to the roof so it would hurt to give her a little tour, right?" Tidus replied making Riku sigh.

"Alright, I'll show her around, but only after school." He planned. So everything was going according to plan and it felt so weird that I was going to reveal myself to him afterward. How will he feel? Hold on…..what is he going to do to me? I looked at myself and almost flipped the table, but I had to compose myself. I just realized why Kairi dressed me like this. Oh she was soooo going to get it after today too!

"It's almost time for class already?" Kairi said looking at her cell phone.

"That reminds me…Sora texted me about a fight he had with his mother and then he doesn't show up to school. I'm beginning to worry about him. Maybe I should call. I sighed to myself. Forgive me phone. I jumped up and aimed my phone out the window making Tidus jump up.

"Soooor—" Tidus looked at Riku who tilted his head at him questioningly.

"Sorry but…what the hell?!" He corrected himself quickly.

"It was an old phone anyway." I said wanting to punch myself.

"Didn't look like it to me." Riku scratched his head and looked out the window and jumped back.

"Riku what's wrong?" He only replied by pointing. When I looked outside someone was laid out on the ground and another kid was on his knees screaming.

"Thank you!" The kid gathered his things and ran off.

"I think you defeated a bully from afar." I scratched my head and laughed. I guess I should join some kind of sports team for that or something.

"Oh shoot class just got started." We cleaned up and hurried to our seat. My main priority now was to get this over with and retrieve my phone. I begin to feel so lonely without it.

Class went by fast after having a couple of arguments with Mr. Cloud on a specific topic in class.

"So are you ready for that tour?" Riku said putting his bag around his body. I nodded and followed behind him. Our walk was quiet until we got to the top. Out of all days it had to be breezy out, unless Tidus and Kairi planned this and added a giant fan into the equation. And so I spoke to soon.

"I'll be right back. You stay here and don't move, okay?"

"Okay?" he said in his confused voice and leaned on the rail.

"Tidus, I'm going to kill you!" I dragged him out from behind the building and threw him inside the door. I felt relieved and dusted my hands off walking back to Riku.

"So this is what it looks like on the roof?" I questioned and he nodded. I couldn't help, but get distracted by his eye patch.

"Riku, what happened to your eye?" I asked.

"That's none of your concern."

"Don't give me that shit." I turned to him.

"Excuse me?"

"So is that the reason why you wouldn't take your helmet off the other day?"

"What are you talking about—" He said pausing to my lips being placed on his. He pushed me away and began to walk off.

"I don't know what kind of shit this is, but it isn't funny."

"I think it's funny you haven't got it yet from where I'm standing." I brought my original voice back making him stop.

"Sora?" I nodded and he flinched back after looking at my outfit.

"SORA?"

"I can hear you, sheesh." I turned away walking off. I looked back and he was pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I will not get over this, but…" He walked closer and I began to step backwards.

"I can tell you where this will end." He leaned closer and I held him back.

"Are you sure you want to do this up here?" I said in a playful voice twirling his hair with my finger. He laughed to himself before answering.

"Oh, not here." He said when I felt his hand travel down my back. I broke away from his hold and started skipping towards the door.

"Then I guess we should hurry then." I leaned against the door frame making him rush over to me as I ran off.

"You're lucky I don't live far from the school." He caught up to me and smiled.

"I have to make a quick stop at my locker first."

"Please make it quick because I don't think I'll be able to hold back any longer with you running around in that skirt." He leaned against the wall waited.

"Maybe I should put my combination in slooowly." He groaned and I laughed. It was fun teasing him like this.

"Please don't. I may have to take you here then." He whispered in my ear from behind me as I tried to open my locker. I could feel him breathing close to my neck as I struggled to open the locker. I couldn't take it so I turned around and pushed him back.

"You're making me nervous! How can I get in my locker with you pressuring me!" I panicked and he backed away scratching his head.

"S-Sorry." He looked away from me.

"Just keep your mind on something else." I turned around and finally put my combination in correctly.

"How can I when you're dressed like this?" I yelled.

"I'm failing math." I looked at him while grabbing my second bag and closing my locker. I began walking off and he just stood there looking at me.

"Are you coming or what?"

"You're failing math? Again?" Great he's on another topic. I don't want to talk about it though I can admit I'm just being lazy in the subject.

"Look I can explain it to you later."

"No you explain right now!" He stomped over.

"Do I have to?" I pouted and he looked away.

"There is no way I'm going to fall for that look right now." He covered his only eye that was visible. I laughed and grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him close. Our lips locked and he removed his hand from his eye. I backed away and began walking.

"Why are you leading me anyway? Do you even know where my house is?" He questioned me. I stopped and crossed one arm and placed and finger on my chin.

"Well after recalling that time you literally dragged me to your house and fucked me senseless you think I won't remember?" He coughed and turned away.

"I thought so." I grinned in his face. He was right though. His place wasn't too far from the school, but it was a good walk though. I paused to see Riku wasn't close to me. He was still there, but a little further behind playing with a cat.

"Riku? Is that your cat?" I asked.

"It's the building's cat to be exact. She just roams around the area so sometimes I would let her into my apartment. I'm still thinking about keeping her there." I walked over to the cat and let her sniff me. She began pawing my hand and nudged it with her head to be pat. I smiled and leaned down and patted her head. She was so adorable with her purring. Her fur was in a healthy condition, her paws were sofy and her eyes were a nice shade of green.

"You should keep her—"

"Let's go." He pulled me up from my position and walked me to the door.

"Hey wait a minute what about the cat?"

"She'll be fine, well come back to get her." We rushed into the building. Why the hell was he rushing? I snatched my arm from his grip and continued to walk at my pace.

"Don't rush!" I yelled.

"Well I can't hold back anymore having seen how exposed you legs are in that skirt while you were bending down!" He yelled back as we waited for the elevator. Good thing no one was around to hear us. It would be too embarrassing! The elevator finally made the 'ding' sound when it arrived. I looked over to Riku to see him looking down at me with a smirk on his face.

"You better not try ANYTHING!" I shoved him and walked into the elevator.

"I cannot promise you that." He pressed the button for the elevator doors to close before hitting his floor number with his pass. He walked over to me and I quickly avoided being pinned to the wall. How in the world could anyone escape a hornball in an elevator car? I'm glad the car had no cameras or so I thought…

"R-Riku cut it out!" I ran to the other side of the elevator car and he followed in pursuit. Maybe I should tease him some more while we're here. I placed myself against the wall of the car and lifted my knee so the skirt would rise a bit and reveal more of my leg. Riku wasted no time in wrapping that leg around him and kissing me. I deepened the kiss and tried to unloosen his uniform tie and unbutton his shirt. I wanted to feel him against me. I wanted to see his tone muscles and memorize every scar on his body. I wanted him all to myself right now. I only got to see some of his chest when the elevator made the 'ding' sound to notify its arrival. Riku sucked his teeth and gathered his things as I did the same. It didn't take him long to open the door and just drop his bags. I walked in feeling refreshed like nothing happened in the elevator or on our way back from school.

"Alright…" Was what I heard Riku say when I saw him strip himself of his tie and tied my wrist with it. I guided him down to the floor with me by his shirt on purpose afterwards. I can tell this was going to be fun.

"It's not too tight is it?" I shook my head and felt his hand creeping up the side of my thigh. I still haven't gotten use to doing this with him though I felt like a complete whore the last time. And I enjoyed it too. I'm seriously changing now thanks to Riku. He saw my uncomfortable reaction and just held me in his arms. By this time I was sitting on his lap.

"If you want I can stop." He pecked me on the lips. I looked at him and he closed his eyes and smirked.

"Your eyes make you look so innocent." He caressed my cheek.

"You don't think I'm innocent?"

"From the way you were moaning the other day I don't think so." My bottom lip dropped and I hit him in his shoulder for his remark.

"You jerk, don't use that against me!" He laughed and hugged me closer and sighed.

"Riku?" I called and he answered wit ha muffled reply.

"Are you okay? Tell me what happened to your eye." It became really quiet and nothing was said for what felt like five minutes. I touched his lower back and felt him shift a bit. His embrace got tighter and I felt him begin to shake.

"R-Riku?"

"I'm sorry. I just can't bear to lose you." He embraced me a little tighter.

"Riku…" I rested my head on his shoulder.

"And not only that but I saw that back stabbing bastard Neku touched you today. If only I knew it was you back then I would've—"

"Riku you're hurting me!" I manage to say as he embrace became too tight for me to handle.

"You're mines and mines only, no one else. I just can't lose you—"

"Riku!" I yelled and he let me go and looked away. I looked closer and saw tears flowing down his face. I was too scared to do anything. The Riku, toughest guy I've ever known in my life was crying?

"I'm sorry you have to see me like this but it's just too much for me to handle right now." He untied me and turned away.

"Please just tell me what is going on! I can't stand seeing you like this. It's scaring me. I want to know so I can help you"

"There's no point in helping me. You would get hurt in the process. That is why I can't lose you." He got up and headed to his room.

"What are you saying?" I grabbed his arm before he could leave the room. Why does he continue to repeat himself 'I can't lose you'? What is happening?

"I can't be around you anymore Sora." His tears came back again.

W-Why? There has to be a reason! You won't tell me! Riku why aren't you telling me—"

"They're coming for me." I stopped and released his arm.

"You mean the gang? Why are they coming after you now?" He sighed and walked into his room and sat on the bed. I crawled into his lap and faced him.

"Sora?" He questioned my actions but he smiled and clasped his hands on my lower back.

"Now answer my question." I pecked him on the lips and he kissed me back.

"I haven't been dedicating myself to my gang as I am supposed to as of late. Besides they can tell I don't want to really be apart of the gang any more so…" He paused.

"So? Don't stop there!" I yelled making him let me go.

"I don't think I should go on any further." He tried to get up, but I pushed him over onto the bed beneath us.

"Tell me now!"

"Sora," He paused.

"They're going to kill me..."

"W-What?"

"They're going to kill me as in they want me dead. I don't know when exactly, but this was their warning." He pointed to his eye. My eyes widened and my body began shaking on its own. I couldn't believe I was hearing this. I didn't want to hear it at all. This can't be true.

"Sora listen—"

"NO, THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING TO LISTEN! This can't be happening. You have to go somewhere safe. We could go somewhere safe where they won't find us." I tried to talk some sense into him so he could act on this.

"There's no way you can escape them. I have no other choice, but to accept this fate—" I slapped him across his face so hard that I even felt the sting in my hand.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? You can change your fate you don't have to die Riku!" I broke down and cried on his chest as we laid there. He didn't move an inch at first but he gave me a comforting rub on my back. I didn't want him to die. I actually realize that I need him now.

"You can't die Riku, I need you." I couldn't control myself. All I could hear myself saying was 'I need you' over and over. I felt him sit up since I'm already on him I had to raise myself back to the straddling position. He wiped my tears and kissed me. I continued my small sniffs and gasp trying to control my impulse to break down again.

"You look so adorable right now."

"S-Shut up!" I leaned on his shoulder and I felt him plant a kiss on the top of my head.

"I'll be fine, I promise." He said raising my head to look into my eyes.

"You better. Now tie me back up." I gave him back his tie and he stared at it in shock.

"You sure you want to do this?" He asked tying my wrist together.

"Hell yeah after all his crying. Besides," I leaned closer to his ear and began a slow grind on his lap. He bit his lip and closed his, holding on to my hips for more.

"I'm in the mood now." I whispered in his ear and he tried to peck me on my lips but I covered his mouth before he even could.

"But you have to catch me first." I jumped off of him and ran out of his room. He followed in pursuit and wrapped his arms around my waist. I was then guided to the wall where he held me in place. I just hope he'll be safe.

My walk home wasn't too long. I wanted Riku to stay at his home to prevent any dangerous situations. Of course I'm putting my self in a dangerous situation going out alone. I don't care what happens to me as long as Riku is safe. I made it to my door step, sighing to myself because I have to deal with another problem in my own home. Right when I opened the door, my mother was standing there sobbing to herself. He eyes grew wide when she saw me enter the house. She didn't even give me a chance to actually say anything when she embraced me in a tight hug.

"Oh Sora, I'm so sorry I treated you horribly the other day. I don't know what was wrong with me that day, but I was a ticking time bomb." Ticking time bomb was right.

"I didn't think you would ever come home."

"And miss out on your wonderful cooking? No way!" She ruffled my hair and laughed with me.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my relationship with Riku. I didn't think you would accept it." I said wiping my mother's tears away.

"I actually didn't expect it and wasn't expecting it so soon. I wanted you to meet a young woman and give me grand children."

"You're asking for too much mom." I gently shoved her and she giggled.

"I think you and Riku make a hot couple now that I realize it." I froze when she laughed. She looked at me like she said something wrong and began to panic.

"Did I say something wrong? What's with you face expression?" She questioned.

"No it's just…why does everyone keep saying that?!" I ruffled my hair even more.

"Well because it is true! So…..have you done anything exciting yet?" I jumped in shock and I felt my cheeks getting warmer to her question.

"That is a very personal question mom! I'm not answering that!" I yelled while walking up the stairs.

"I hope you're using protection~!"

"MOM!" I threw a pillow down the stairs and she just continued to laugh at my embarrassment. How does she know all these things? Am I really easy to read? I remembered to talk to her about our situation and ran back down the stairs.

"Mom, in all seriousness I need to talk to you." I said and sat her down with me.

"Alright, tell me what's going on."

"…It's about Riku…"
