Riku glared at Naruto.
 
“Just what are you implying?” he demanded. “You know perfectly well…”
 
“What I know is that I don't have black hair.” Naruto said, angrily. “And neither do you. So just who gave this baby that hair color?”
 
“None of your business,” Riku told him, angrily. “And if you're going to keep acting this way, then I'll just take my children and be on my way.”
 
“They're not just yours, Riku,” Naruto pointed out.
 
“You're right,” Riku reminded him, “the twins are Sora's.”
 
Naruto felt as though he'd been slapped in the face.
 
“Maybe so, but Kyuubi is my son.”
 
“Fine by me. I never liked the little monster anyhow.” It was a lie, and Riku wished he could take it back as soon as he said it. But he was too hurt by Naruto's accusations to admit it.
 
“That's it, then,” Naruto said. “We're finished.”
 
“So it seems,” Riku shrugged, indifferently.
 
~Time Skip: 3 Days~
 
Riku and Naruto hadn't spoken since the day Naruto had accused Riku of having an affair. Riku gathered up his sons and went to where he had relocated his gummi ship.
With tears in his eyes, and without so much as a goodbye to Naruto, Riku removed his Hokage robe and dropped it on the ground and boarded the ship, his sons following him.
 
Once they were all aboard, Riku started the ship, taking off just as Naruto came running up to them, an apology dying on his lips as he watched the ship depart.
 
“Riku,” he whispered.
 
~Time Skip: 4 Hours~
 
“Kairi!” Riku called, waving to her as she ran to the beach.
 
Kairi had seen the gummi ship land and had realized right away that either Riku or Sora had come home. Slightly disappointed that it wasn't Sora, she was nevertheless happy to see Riku.
 
“Riku!” she laughed, hugging him. “And these are…?”
 
“Boys, this is Kairi. She's one of two best friends.”
 
“Is she the girl you and Sora used to hang out with?” Masamune-Raiden asked.
 
Riku nodded. “That's right,” he said. “Kairi, this is Masamune-Raiden, Taro, and Raven.”
 
She smiled at them and said,
 
“You'll never believe this! Selphie and Tidus got married a couple years ago!”
 
“Wow. Didn't see that one coming.”
 
They sat and talked for a while, catching up with each other after their long time apart. After what seemed like an hour, Kairi asked,
 
“So, how's Sora?”
 
Riku looked down at Raven without really seeing him and said,
 
“He's okay.”
 
Kairi saw the pained look on her friend's face and asked,
 
“Is something wrong?”
 
Before he could answer, she happened to look down at his hand and noticed the ring that he still wore.
 
“You're married?”
 
Riku snapped out of his reverie and looked at his hand. He had forgotten about the ring.
 
“Yeah…at least, we were.”
 
“Oh. You and Sora broke up?”
 
Riku furrowed his brow before realizing that she thought that he was married to Sora. He laughed and said,
 
“No. I'm not married to Sora. We broke things off almost 11 years ago.”
 
“But then…who?”
 
Riku thought about his husband and felt something ache in his chest. He looked away from Kairi and said,
 
“I really don't want to talk about it.”
 
At that moment, the ever mystical train appeared on the shining metal track. Riku looked up and felt his heart jump into the region of his Adam's Apple when he saw a familiar head of blond hair. Kairi looked at the train too, but wasn't impressed with the man she saw.
 
When Naruto stepped off the train, he looked at his husband and gave a sad sort of smile.
 
“Can I talk to you?” he asked.
 
“Sure.”
 
Naruto's eyes flickered over to Kairi and he added,
 
“Alone?”
 
Riku looked over at his friend and asked,
 
“Could you give us a minute?”
 
Kairi stood a little reluctantly and walked over the bridge toward the shack. Naruto sat beside Riku on the ground and said,
 
“You know what I want to say. It's something I've said a lot recently...”
 
Riku leaned back against the paopu tree and waited for him to continue.
 
“I really am sorry. I was just expecting a little blond baby so when I saw that he had black hair, I kind of...” his voice trailed off.
 
“Panicked?”
 
Naruto nodded.
 
“I don't care who the father is anymore. I'll help you raise him like...”
“He is yours, Naruto. One of my more distant family members is dark-haired so the baby inherited that instead of one of our hair colors.”
 
Naruto looked down at the baby and saw that it had the same blue eyes that he himself had inherited from his father. He smiled and said,
 
“Well then...I guess that settles that. Oh yeah, and your Cell really misses you.”
