I woke up to someone kicking me. I glanced at the culprit and smiled. Hayner mumbled something in his sleep and snuggled against his pillow.

It�s been a month since he and I� started sleeping together. He�d always come to my place so his parents wouldn�t catch us.

I looked up at my window. The sun was rising already. Well the sun never set or rises here�. But you can tell when the new day starts. The sky always has a orangeish-blue glow. Sitting up I opened the window, letting the wind in. It blew threw my hair making little clank noises as beads hit beads. What can I say? I liked the braids after getting used to them.. And now some are beaded.

I wonder what he�d say if he saw me now�.

�Hey you woke up early�.� I jumped at the voice forgetting there was this heavenly warm body next to me. I smiled at Hayner slightly and laid back down.

�Something jolted me out of my sleep� I think it was your foot.� I lightly bopped his nose with my finger and laughed. He grinned and nuzzled my neck.

�Riku�?�

�Hmm?�

�Why can�t you say �I love you� to me?�

��..because� I said that once� And was brutally shot down� I�m afraid to say those words now.�

�Afraid? Me? Of what?�

�He didn�t deserve you��

�Huh?�

�Sora� to do that to you.� Hayner propped himself so he looked down on me. �He�s so ungrateful. He had the most precious thing in this world�. And he threw it away.�

�How�did you know it was Sora?� I asked almost in a whisper. He frowned knowing that sadness was hidden in those words.

�The way you react when someone talks about him� You get quiet and your eyes get distant�. What did he do to you to break you so badly?�

��he let me take him as mine�.and then left me for someone else� Now he denies I took him�.� I said trying to hold in my hurt.

�Then take me�.� Hayner climbed on top of me and gently kissed me as I slowly entered his body.

----------------

�See you wouldn�t walk to funny if you weren�t dating a guy.� Pence slapped Hayner�s arm playfully. He�s gotten over the whole �Hayner likes guys thing�, which makes me happy. I hated the fact I had started to come in between them.

Like Kairi had Sora and I.

However, Hayner spent just as much time with Pence and Olette as he did me. Sometimes he�d see them more. It didn�t bother me. It made me glad he wasn�t putting us before his friends. But he only spent the night at my small one roomed apartment.

�Earth to Riku!!� I felt tugs on my hair and glanced over to Olette. Why she loved to touch my hair so much I didn�t get, but I let her do it anyway.

�Sorry� Lost in thought.�

�About what?� Pence got two inches from my face trying to read my eyes.

�Home. I was wondering what everyone was doing�.�

�But I realized I didn�t care.�

�Hey Riku remember that mansion?� Hayner asked sitting down next to me.

�Yeah.� I thought about that place with a grimace. I spent a good year there. Secretly mind you. It was just DiZ and I.

Well�. Sora, Donald and Goofy were in sleeping pods�.

�Rumor has it, there has been a ghost spotted!� Pence explained everything. I smirked remembering watching Roxas and them run around town trying to prove the ghost rumors wrong.

�Well� Shall we go?� I stood up and pointed to the door.

�Yeah!!�

-----------------------

When we got there we decided to split up. Each of us taking a camera to take a picture if we see anything.

Making sure I wasn�t being followed, I went to the library and opened up the secret room. It hadn�t changed from the last time I was there.

Walking down the hall towards the main sleep pod I heard a noise� kinda like footsteps behind me. I looked over my shoulder and noted nothing. I moved quicker into the room where Sora had slept that year.

It was bright and almost painful to walk into it. Such a brightly lit area.

I was about to step forward when arms wrapped around me.

�Hayner this isn�t funny.� I snapped. I looked down at one of the hands that dug its fingers into my shirt. It was a left hand with a white and black rings on the index and middle finger.

I knew that hand�.

Slowly I turned around in the grasp and stared at the small                               boy holding onto me for dear life.

�How are you alive�?�
