Disclaimer- I do not own Kingdom Hearts or it's characters.

Authors Note- This will be in the form of letters. It's going to be a challenge for me, to see if I can write one every single day. Sora will probably be a little out of character, but there is a reason he is and it will be explained in due time. It's canon, after they returned to Destiny Islands. No regard to Dream Drop Distance, though. I'm going to be posting a chapter every day as my own 365 day challenge. Enjoy.

Edit Febuary 10, 2012- I've gone through and editted out errors that were annoying me. Also messed around with the wording a few times. Enjoy Letters to Riku V2, now with better spelling/grammar/wording/formating/ect.

Like, the millionth edit for this- The warnings were deleted during my edits. Oops. Re-added.

Warnings- Yaoi/slash/shounen-ai/whatever you'd like to call it. Angst. Boy kissing, hugging, ect, just softcore stuff, nothing graphic. Mental illness, possible suicidal talk, depression, insanity. Some semi-graphic violence in future chapters (no gore, though). I think that's it. For now.

Yet another edit, on March 28th- Going through and fixing the dates ten chapters at a time. How many times will I need to edit this? -.-" Hopefully this will be the last time. Hopefully.

Dear Riku,

The memorial stone was put up on your island today, I watched your parents as they placed it. They don't even have a body to bury, so they put up a stone for you.

I hate it.

It's cold and hard and nothing like you were. It's so impersonal, the only thing it said was "In memory of Riku." Nothing else. No, "he was loved" or anything at all. After all, it's not like you're dead. So why is it in memory of?

Kairi and me visited your paopu tree today, after we visited the memorium stone. Kairi cried. I did too, a little. I shouldn't have, I already cried too much for you since you disappeared. We shared a paopu fruit, from your paopu tree, and Kairi said that since we shared it, we'll never part. We'd never be away from each other. She said that if all three of us had eaten one together, that maybe we'd still be together. We'd still be the three musketeers.

We shared a paopu once too, do you remember? I didn't tell Kairi that. She might hate me for it. She's still holding onto that silly little girls mentality where she though she was in love with you. And maybe it's just me clinging on to that old legend, but I can't shake the feeling I'll see you again. One day. Our destinies are supposedly intertwined now, since we shared that paopu.

Later, after Kairi left, when it was dark out, I went to the rock with the plaque that your parents put up. I don't know how long I sat there and cried.

It was strange, seeing that stone with your name. Saying in memory of. It makes it seem like you're dead. You not though, I know you're not dead. But seeing that stone today...it made me realise that maybe you're really never coming back. That maybe I'll never see you again. That maybe I should forget about you. I could never forget you though.

I know I shouldn't after so long, but I still miss you so much.

Your friend,

Sora

AN- You're probably confused. With good reason. Everything will make sense, eventually. This will be entirely in letter format, with a few flashback interludes. They'll be rather short, like this.

Please review, I want feedback.
