reviews are nice, but please don't flame.
Chapter One - Delusional
A sanctuary.
Tiny, cold raindrops fell on Sora's face, and thunder boomed in the distance.
A secret place.
Pink petals on cherry blossoms floated to the ground.
A garden.
The sky was black, but the stars that were visible shone a bright light.
The exterior of the dark marble walls that surrounded the garden on three sides held in them intricate, foreign designs and blue stained glass windows that seemed to glow like the stars. Inside stood, once more, three dark marble pedestals that formed a triangle on the north, east, and west sides, above which floated orbs. A glowing dark blue, they looked as if they held electiricty, although they did not.
In the center was something that resembled a bed. Sora stood at the entrance, keyblade in hand. He wore the usual black shorts and hooded jacket...armored, of course, and ready for battle. He nodded and took three steps in, then lifted himself onto the bed. A bright beam of light shot from each orb to the next, creating a triangle around him. Sora closed his eyes. Immediately, he began to hear familiar voices in his head. Kairi, he thought. Searing pain shot through his body and he struggled to get up, only to be stopped by an invisible power of some sort holding tightly to his ankles, legs, wrists, and arms. Distant memories clouded his mind. The pain stopped. Sora... a voice said. I can't breathe, he thought, I can't breathe! He gasped for air, and began drifting to sleep.
Bombs of fire pounded the ground in a circle around Sora. He had to find a way out. Axel rose into the air and stared at Sora. "You pitiful little child...Are you really that weak and clueless that you can't find a way out?" His voice left a haunting echo throughout the room. Sora dropped to his knees, still surrounded by fire. He really was weak. What's wrong with me? he thought. How come I feel so useless? The power I posses is far greater than Axel's, and has been ever since King Mickey began training me. Sora looked up. Demyx? The fire soon turned to water. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. "Hahaha," Demyx laughed. "Axel was right. We knew from the start that you and your little "crew" over there," Axel pointed to Donald and Goofy imprisoned, "were never good enough." Sora looked in the direction that Demyx pointed in, too see only Donald shaking the steel bars of his "cell". What about Goofy? he wondered. Where is Goofy? "Goofy? Goofy," Demyx stated, as if it was obvious, "is right there next to Donald. What are you talking about? He's been there all along." Is he plaing with my mind? He's not there!! "You're delusional," Demyx sighed. Sora turned his head back to the cell to see that It was now Donald and AXEL locked away. "Opps, sorry Axel. Let me fix that..." Demyx pointed his sitar at the cell and suddenly Axel was replaced by Goofy. Axel appeared at Demyx's side. "Okay, I guess we'll let you out," the two said in unison. The water fell around Sora like rain, now.
Sora opened his eyes, and they began to fill with tears. Why are you crying? he asked himself. "Why..." he whispered. He looked around. He was still in the garden, still laying on the bed. He closed his eyes again. Strange dream, he thought. Demyx and Axel...What was that about? Donald and Goofy in jail...that was particularly weird.
Laughter. Sora heard laughter, and leaned on his right elbow to face the west, in severe pain and utterly weak. "Are you really that weak and clueless...?" he remembered Axel saying. He shook it off. "I'm not weak," he said, "I'll prove it to them." Sora sat straight forward, getting ready to jump off the bed.
That's when he saw it.
The laughter.
It came from Riku, it came from Kairi. Kairi spun around in circles, catching raindrops on her tongue. Riku watched her and smiled, then stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. She smiled softly as her fingers reached around his neck and laced together. Their noses touched. They danced slowly in the rain. Sora caught his breath, and tears actually fell from his eyes this time. They were invisible though, as it began to rain even harder. Riku gazed at Kairi's lips, then leaned in slowly and closed his eyes. Kairi closed her eyes as well and their lips touched. Sora became weaker watching their every move. Kairi's hand slid down Riku's chest, then abdomen, and finally under his shirt. She felt his abdominal muscles and pulled her hands from underneath his shirt and back around his neck. Their lips moved together in perfect motion; it was almost unreal how pure and beautiful they seemed together. How could this happen? Sora thought. What's going on? My heart...I feel like my heart has just been shattered into a million tiny pieces. The crown necklace that hung around Sora's neck began to glow. His heart really did shatter into a million pieces, as did the rest of him. Every piece of his mind, his heart, his flesh...shattered and disappeared.
