Bring Me to Life

Disclaimer: Nope don’t own Kingdom hearts, Riku, or Sora. I usually stay away from writing Sora/Riku fics. I’m not against them its just I usually don’t write them. But this is my first attempt at a Sora and Riku fic. Yaoi warnings here and NC-17 material later on. Lots of violence, mental anguish and the use of drugs are also in this fic. Lemons later on! This is an AU story as well. Riku is 17 and Sora is 16. Please read and review. Tell me what you think and please no flames. Enjoy! Grammar warnings also as with my other fics. I promise I will get the next chapter up for Of Darkness and Light as soon as I can for of you who are wondering. Word is being bitchy with me*growls*



Riku leaned against the bricked wall outside of the high school he and the other kids from Destiny Islands went to. Riku looked at his watch before he crossed his legs in front of him his back to the wall. Riku lit a cigarette taking a deep drettietting the smoke go into his lungs before blowing it out as he was waiting for Sora’s last class of the day to finish up. Riku had cut class yet again. He had gotten so good at it that he didn’t even get caught anymore. Not that he personally cared if he was present in class. Sora was the only thing keeping him on the grounds. had had promised Sora that he’d hang out with him after school. Sora was Riku’s only friend there was no way in hell he’d break a promise to Sora. Sure Sora’s girlfriend, Kairi talked to him and was nice to him. Riku, Sora and Kairi went a long way back. But Kairi was always a bit intimidated of the older teen. Riku knew it as well and so he kept his distance to mostly everyone. Sora was the only one to ever get close to him.

Riku took another drag of his cigarette while he waited. All Riku really had to do was ask someone to buy cigarettes for him if he couldn’t get the fake id past the cashiers. His silver tresses blew lightly in the warm breeze. Riku looked up when he seen some teenage girls who had gotten out of their class early. They looked at him and looked over him before they giggled and ran off. Riku looked down at his jeans that had the entire wallet chain going and his ‘wife-beater’ tanktop before he shrugged. Riku leaned his head back and looked ahead of him almost staring off.

He was so wrapped up in his thoughts he didn’t realize Sora had gotten out of class again. The spiky haired brunette gave his classic grin and walked up to Riku his backpack slung over his shoulder. He frowned when hen Rin Riku smoking before Sora wagged his finger playfully at his friend.

“those are bad for you you know. You’re seventeen! What are you doing smoking Riku?” Sora said as he walked up to Riku. Riku took another deep drag and looked at Sora raising an eyebrow.

“Most good things in life are bad for you Sora. Its something I enjoy doing….Don’t argue.”Riku said in his normal almost cold voice. Riku couldn’t help but let his eyes lightly roam sora’s figure. His best friend looked almost feminine and was completely clueless about it. Riku quickly finished his cigarette and flicked it on the sidewalk. Sora didn’t argue and just smiled at Riku.

“So…ready to go by the mall? Kairi said she can’t come with us today that she had some babysitting to do.”Sora said with his cheesy grin. Riku never said anything about as to why Kairi would never join them. He knew it was because of him and she wasn’t saying anything. After all everything was his faur sor so he was told.

“yeah…do you need to stop by your house to drop off your bag?” Riku asked. Sora shook his head.

“nah..i can take it with me. what about you?”Sora asked. Riku’s eyes almost darkened at the mention of going back to his home. Riku looked over at sora again and inwardly admired Sora. Not many people knew about Riku’s Bisexuality. Riku liked to keep that part about him totally secret and as far as Riku seen Sora was completely oblvious to Riku checking him out although it was as discreet as they come. Riku was actually very protective of Sora. A lot of the fist fights he had gotten into had been because of Sora. Someone would always pop off and say how pretty sora was and how Sora would run into the wrong person in the alley one day. Unfortunately that person always found Riku’s fist in their face. Hell Riku had even decked Tidus for saying it.

“Yeah lets go. I don’t need to go home for anything. Lets just have some fun ok?”Riku said as he and Sora started walking. Sora grinned and playfully elbowed the older teen.

“Fun and trouble are my middle names!” sora said with a mischevious twinkle in his eye. Riku just smirked in reply as he walked with his friend.

Several hours later Riku and Sora were walking back to Sora’s place. Sora had some homework he had to do and it was getting dark already. Everytime Riku was with Sora Riku always walked Sora home. He met sora to his door and then nodded to him when he went inside. Riku scowled and then headed off to his own home back to his parents. They weren’t even Riku’s real parents. Riku had been adopted when he was a small child. His mother was caring andtle…tle….his foster father was another story entirely.

Riku walked in his house as quietly as possible. Shutting the door behind him. He could hear the TV going loudly and a football game could be heard. Riku glanced at the dark haired, goateed man sitting on the couch with a beer in his hand. Riku gave a mild distaste look before he tried to sneak past him. Riku could skip class like noone’s business. He could tal talk himself out of trouble a lot in school. But walking past his foster father without being seen was very difficult and rarely had he done it. The man looked up and looked at riku spotting Riku’s unique silver hair anywhere.

“Where the hell were you? Your mother’s been bitching at me because you haven’t been home.” The man said his voice very gruff sounding. Riku looked at the older man and turned fully to him. Sora had been over a few times when his father wasn’t home or was too drunk to care. Riku was an entirely different person at home. He was very soft spoken and polite. Almost a contridiction to Riku’s bad boy ways.

“I was out with Sora.”Riku said in the normal soft tone he had at home. The man snarled and turned his nose up standing up to get another beer. He roughly pushed by Riku and went into the kitchen.

“Ungrateful little bastard….doesn’t even call and thus I have to hear your mother’s bitching. I think you do it on purpose…”The man accused alcohol thick on his breath as he wagged his finger at riku. Riku decided to play it cool and get away from him as fast as possible.

“Sora asked me to go help him with something. I’m sorry I was gone so late It won’t happen again.”Riku said. The man suddenly whirled around and backhanded Riku busting his mouth.

“Damn right it won’t happen again. I don’t buy that bull shit of you helping anyone! You don’t even make good enough grades to help anyone and you’re completely fucking useless!” The man said as he hit Riku again. Riku had to clutch the countertop from the hits blood running down his chin from his busted lip. Riku’s mother always got terribly upset if riku fought back making it worse on himself. The one thing he hated the most was seeing the only woman who had ever stood behind him upset because of his stupidity. The man’s words stung terribly but Riku never let it show.

“oh are you all tough now?”the man said as he shoved Riku hard into the counter. The biggest mistake Riku had ever made was he had exploited that he was bisexual to his mother and his foster father had overheard. They were two of the very few people that knew. Riku’s foster father sneered at the 17 year old before he actually punched him across the face. Riku held his face and glared at the older man.

“What are you now? A little pretty whore for anyone to come up and fuck? I’m sure I know what you were helping sora with he was probably with you in an alley making you his bitch you stupid queer.”Riku’s foster father said as he continued to hit Riku. Riku heard that comment and seen red before he punched his foster father in retaliation.

“Don’t you EVER talk about Sora like that!”Riku screamed at him. Riku soon came to regret that as the man punched him hard enough to knock him down to his knees before his foster father kicked him as hard as he could in the side. Riku’s arm immediately went to shield him as he cried out in pain and started to cough. Riku was almost in tears when his mother walked into the kitchen carrying groceries. The short blonde woman screamed and put down the bags running inbetween her husband and her son.

“Daniel! Stop it!”She screamed almost in tears herself. The man just looked at her and sneered before roughly grabbing her hair.

“You…shut the fuck up bitch. He’s home like you wanted. I don’t even know why you want him around Gina. But whatever…did you get me some more beer?”He asked before he shoved the small woman into the refrigorator. Riku looked up at his mother his eye already swelling clear he was going to get a black eye and blood drying on his mouth. The woman pointed to the case of beer before she went over to her son and helped him up almost sobbing. Riku waved his hand and brushed her off telling her he was alright. Truth was Riku was in pain. He knew he had a couple of bruised ribs hey hey weren’t fractured. Riku wiped his mother’s tears away and gave her a reassuringle ble before he helped put the groceries away.

Riku headed to his room afterwards and got out a plastic bag from his closet filled with a small brown bottle of something and several syringes. He closed and locked his door before then wrapping a belt around his upper arm tightening it with his teeth. He had no worry of disease from the syringes because he was the only one that used them. He took the brown bottle out and filled the syringe about ¾ of the way f Ri Riku tapped his arm hard to get the veins to show up. Riku flinched when he injected himself with the needle and started injecting the fluid in him. He didn’t really like needles but it was the quickest way to get it in him. He needed it. Riku closed his eyes and laid back on the bed his stereo blaring a heavy alternative CD he had. The drug started to work its magic immediately. Riku’s pain disappeared and he could feel the high from it making him forget all of hroubroubles and worries. Riku wasn’t even aware of anything around him at that point as he started singing to the music taking off the belt off of his arm. Noone knew of Riku’s habits. Not even Sora. Riku always kept his drugs well hidden. It was his escape. But he didn’t realize that he had been shooting up more and more often than he was supposed to. Riku laid back on his bed closing his eyes before he started laughing for no reason. The drugs had numbed his pain so he didnven ven feel it anymore. Riku continued to sing to the music ignoring everything around him. Even the shadowy figure watching Riku in the window of his room. Riku wouldn’t have noticed anyway.
