You and I Collide

Hehe, thanks for the reviews, even if it only may be two. XD
But hey, thanks a lot M.D Sora, I shall try and make my story
more describing. ^_~ This chapter wasn't in as much detail
until you said that. XD I'll probably go back and change
the first chapter too. ^^

Once Riku was inside the backway to the rink he was running
as fast he could to still catch some of it. I mean, it was the
State Championships after all. He heard the national anthem playing as
he was running through there as fast as he could. He was
running to fast too notice what was about to happen...

BAM!

Riku hit something...or more like, someone. Someone with the
most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen, but he couldn't
think about that now. He was already late for his hockey game.

"Does this way lead to the ice?" Riku asked handing Sora his
skates which he dropped when they collided. Sora was still there
lying on his bum and not in a very happy mood. He was already
very angry at Leon, all he seemed to care about was if he stayed
with the same pairs partner!

"Excuse me, Asshole, is that all you have to say? What, were you
raised in a barn or something?" Riku only gave a glare which then
turned into a smirk, "Listen buddy, from where I come from we
stand when the National Anthem is playing." And Riku quickly ran
off in the direction he was first going in.

Sora sat there in shock, "Those eyes, those beautiful aqua eyes
...but what rudeness!" Sora pouted.

______________________________________________________________


"Looks like Riku Mizu has decided to join us after all." The
announcer spoke and the crowd cheered as soon as Riku got
on the rink. 'Finally' He thought to himself.

"Today Riku Mizu and his team mates must vs. the Heartless
team in one of the most important games ever." 1...2...3 START!
"Riku gets the puck. He dodges left, he dodges right. He's coming
up to the goal, but one of the Heartless is chasing him, he makes
his shot...and he scores! But what's happening...?...One of the
Heartless players is pinning him towards the wall (Or the boards
if you know ice skating rinks) and now he keeps slamming into him."

Riku was falling into a daze, the Heartless team member would not
stop. He got slammed into the boards at least five times. Especially
hitting his right side of his head. He was hit so hard before he
became unconcious the last thing he noticed was that his helmet
came off and slid across the ice. Finally the Heartless stopped...


"I'm afraid you've lost 18 degres of sight in your right eye, Riku"
He said looking at Riku sadly after the examination. "Usually this
is an inconvenience, but for a hockey player..."

"But come on Doc, there's gotta be another way." Riku pleaded.

"You have a blindside Riku."

"..."

"I'm afraid your condition is permanet."

"But there has to be some sort of operation or something?"

The Doctor only shook his head. "Like down in Mexico city
or something, they must be able to do somthing." Riku grinned
nervously.

"I'm sorry, Rikku, I don't see proffesional hockey in your future..."


_______________________Two years later...__________________________


Sora was spinning side by side another Pairs partner,
one named Yuffie. Yuffie was too slow for Sora, for they were just
doing simple one foot spins, side by side, but Yuffie tripped over
her toepick and fell. But Sora kept on spinning even though Yuffie
had fallen, not even caring.

"Enough, Sora." Yelled her coach. "Do we or do we not
have 8 minutes left?" An annoyed Sora replied back. "That is enough for today.
I presume you need shower, Yuffie?"
"Okay" she panted skating off the ice.

"What she needs is a plane ticket!" Sora said in anger as he went
to skate around the rink, doing various spins and jumps.

"She lasted a month." Murmered Leon.

"You know, he is tremendous skater, everyone says so,
powerful, intelligent, but sometimes he can really become the big B.
What a bitch." Replied back Cloud.

"Well, then where do we go from here?"

"I don't know. He has been through 8 pairs partners in two years.
This one too fat, this one too thin, too short, too tall, too dumb, too slutty.
It's all the same."

"How about Rinoa?"

"No, Rinoa said she would first hang garlic from neck
and sleep with cross before she skate with him." Cloud pasued
for a second to look at Sora still skating, "I am at bottom
of barrel."

"Then find another barrel." Leon only said, staring at Cloud.

Two years had passed since Riku's horrible accident, he was still
playing hockey, but not professionaly. He was coming home to
where his brother, Sephiroth, owned a bar. He grabbed his hockey
bag and stick, and headed for his game.

"Make me a sandwhich will ya?" Riku yelled out to Sephiroth as
he was heading to his car.

"Listen Riku, one of my workers called in sick today, I need you to take
over his shift."

Riku only stared in anger, "I've got a game. Now make me a sandwhich."

"But Riku," Sephiroth ran after his brother, "I need you tonight."
"Well, I've got a game." He only growled as he opened his car door.

"Hey, do you know what? You're playing in the fucking bar league, Riku!"

"Well at least I'm playing." Was the only answer Riku could think of.

"Hey! Your 23rd letter arrived today! It's over little brother!
Everybody knows it but you." Sephiroth scoffed.

"Give me that letter!"

But Sephiroth just held it back from him, "Hey Riku, sorry to hear about
the eye. Next time you call in we'll give you a ticket! Go piss up a rope..."

Sephiroth didn't get to finish..."Give me the mother fucking letter!!!"
Riku screamed as he grabbed Sephiroth's shirt.

"What are you gonna do, little brother? You gonna fight me?
Fight the world?...You want something to eat, then make it yourself."
Sephiroth said as he turned away and went back into his bar.

Riku knelt down and picked up the letter that Sephiroth had dropped
when he went back in. Riku sat down on the ground and read it as drops
of water started to gather at the corners of his beautiful, aqua green eyes...


__________________________________________________________________

Riku was outside working on construction...since that was his job now.
He was upside down hanging from wood as he hammered away.
And a man walked up by him, he didn't even notice. Well, could you
if you were upside down hammering?

"You are much bigger than I think." Riku heard a man say he turned and
looked the direction from where the voice was coming from, he saw a man
with blonde hair and fair muscles look at him with the weirdest accent ever...

"Huh?"

"I said, you are much bigger than I think." Cloud said in annoyence, "I have spent
much time looking at you in video."

"Look, buddy, if you're here to cover the story it's already been done."

"I am not reporter, I am coach."

"Are you Sweedish or something?"

"No. Russian."

"Russian! My gosh! You got my letter!" Riku excitedly blurted out as he got down from where he was working and shook Cloud's hand. "I've been doing speed drills..." And Riku kept blabbering on until Cloud shut him up by raising his hand.

"I am not hockey coach."

"Then why are you here?" Riku questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Here, try these on." Cloud sad sternly as he handed Riku a pair of male figure
skates.

"Pal, those are figure skates."

"Of course."


__________________________________________________________

"Woah." Was all Riku could say as he and Cloud pulled up to a huge house in a limousine. The house was actually...a mansion. It had a beautiful lush garden in the front with fountains and statues. One statue struck Riku odd. It was one witth a beautiful woman doing some sort of a spin where her head and back are leaning way back, her free leg is in attitude position, and her arms in fifth position. Riku did not know who the girl was, but he wished it where the girl he had to skate with.

"This way." Cloud said stepping out of the car. Once inside the ice Riku
spotted someone skating. Heh, it was a boy, he wondered where the girl
he was supposed to skate with was.

"Wow, you've got your own ice." Riku muttered to himself.

"We have ice everyday." Riku was surprised to get a reply back. He didn't think
Cloud had heard him.

Sora suddenly stopped skating when he saw what people walked through
the door. "Where the hell is Rinoa? You said she was going tp be here."

"No, you said she was going to be here. This is your new pairs partner, Riku Mizu."

"WHAT THE FUCK?!? I can't skate with him! It's not even allowed.
You must be a female x male partnership." Sora pouted crossing his arms.

"Rules have changed."

"There's still no way I'm skating with him."

Riku stared in a daze as Sora and Cloud kept fighting 'Woah, they're actually letting males be with males now? TOTALLY WEIRD!!! But hey, who knows...'

"Fine. But Riku Mizu? Never heard of him." Sora said with a smirk.
"Riku is beautiful skater." Was all Cloud could say. "Oh, you're that
hockey player." Sora said smuggly.

Riku stuck his hand out for a handshake at Sora, "It's nice to meet you."
but Sora withdrew his hand back.

"Is tryout. IS TRYOUT." Cloud said in annoyence. Finally Sora put has
hand back and shook Riku's. "Oh my gosh." Sora withdrew his hand back.
"What? My hand?" Riku said in confusion. "Well, what do you do? Soak
them in battery acid?"

"Hey, I know they may be rough, buy I've never had any complaints before, sweetheart." Riku smirked. "Oh, I'm terribly impressed." Sora rolled his eyes.

Sora now turned to face Cloud, "What is this shit?"

"Hey who's checking out who here?"

"Hey listen, I don't know how many slapshots you've taken to the brain,
but this is your audition and I assure you, it's over."

"Hey Prince Charming, relax, I'm no figure skater, I'm a hockey player."

"Then what are you doing here?"

Riku stared back in anger. He had never met such a prick in his life...and
so good looking too, what a shame.

"Get him out of my building." Sora said as he skated off.

"What?"

"Get him OUT of my building." Sora now stopped and faced the opposite
direction of Riku while crossing his arms.

"Hey, the temperamental type, huh?"

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Sora said turning back to face Riku.

"I know exactly who I am sweetheart, I'm a guy who came a long way for lunch."

"Oh, well please, don't let me keep you from the trough."

"Hey, I'm sorry buddy, I wouldn't wish this on a snake. I'm out of here."
Riku said to Cloud as he started to head off the ice."

"THAT IS IT! ENOUGH!" Cloud said as he waved his arms madly.
"Introduction is over, conversation done. Mouths to be shut, ears to be open.
Pairs means two." Cloud glanced over at Sora, "You have no partner."
Then Cloud glanced at Riku, "Believe me, I am last person to come looking for you."

There was only silence in the room as Sora still glared
at Riku. "Good. Then we skate."

Once again silence.

"Riku you are stem, Sora you are petal. Together you make flower."
