AN: I just want to say that I apologize for the lack of action in this chapter, I really didn't think it was necessary to include certain parts of the journey in here because over all, it's just uneventful and boring to sit through, so I tried playing around.

I promise next chapter will be a lot better!

Love you as always,

-Devon

"You did good today, you know." Sora's lips touch my ear as the hot water from the shower head slides down our bodies. "I don't think Simba would've gone back if you hadn't given him that pep talk." I take a deep breath and bring my head down, letting the hot water run over my head.

"I know a thing or two about ghosts of the past. I guess I just told him everything I needed to hear." I know the pain of heartbreaks, of no answers, and of fear.

"Things haven't been easy for you, Rea, but.." His hands slide over either sides of my arms, and I enjoy the sensation of the skin of his chest rubbing against my back. "I don't think you could've turned out any more beautiful than you are now." Scrubbing the last remaining bit of body wash from my skin, I step out of the shower.

"I think I'm going to go talk with Blair for a bit, but I'll be back in before you're asleep, kay?" Sora gives me a small pout before closing the shower curtain. I wrap myself in a towel and head out of the bathroom to the room I share with Blair.

Said pink haired girl was lying on her bed, fiddling with her small yin-yang necklace and staring at the ceiling. "Yo." She gives me a small wave and I step over to my dresser, retrieving one of the few pairs of pajamas I had left in this dresser, rather than one in Sora's.

"You look pretty deep in thought." I give a glance her way before turning to get changed. "What are you thinking about?" She gives a small laugh.

"What do you think I'm thinking about? The same thing I'm always thinking about." She brings her arm up over her eyes.

"Sooo. Riku." I slip on my shirt and take a seat on the bed. "What about him?" Blair groans and removes her arm to look up at the ceiling again.

".. I told him how I felt once." I raise my eyebrows. Emotional? Blair? That was out of character.

"Oh? What happened?"

"He put his hand on my head."

"...and?"

"Walked away. When I woke up the next day he was gone." I shake my head.

"You haven't seen this guy in two years and you're still--"

"Completely hung up on him, yes,yes I am." She sits up, "Of course I am, are you telling me you've never done something or never NOT done something and have it absolutely haunt you after? That's my whole life, every time I talked to Riku. How am I supposed to know what a damn pat on the head means? I could've asked, I could've stopped him that day. But I was too damn scared, and now look where I am." I give a small nod and give her a pat on the leg.

"So. You know what you have to do, right?" Blair gives me a deadpan and I give her a big smile.

"The first moment you see him, walk right up and give him a biiiiig kiss." Blair remains deadpan for a few more seconds before bursting out in laughter.

"Aw man, you really don't know Riku. He'd hate me just for embarrassing him!" I simply shrug and rise up off the bed.

"Worked for me, didn't it?" I head through the door to Sora's room and Blair sings to me as I shut it.
