Twilight Paths
The night grew bitter; gently the rain fell over the streets. The neon lights seemed to grow brighter and the shadows, darker. The city was vacant, empty; the only hint of life, if you could call it life at all, was the roaming heartless. Riku looked down at them gathering, plotting. It was a surprise that he could see anything at all, his eyes blindfolded, his brilliant silver hair flowing, almost defying gravity.

"The road in between light and darkness…" he whispered. His soul seemed to pour out his sorrows and pain, his darkness slowly taking over. His sad eyes looked up; the sky seemed so lonely, almost as if it understood his feelings, his hidden emotions. He looked down returning his attention back to the heartless; he was there, fighting them head on. His presence was strong and determined, but he grew weaker by the second.

"Ruthless and reckless…." Riku's sad face forced a smile,

"He reminds me of you……" his smile grew bigger "But of course he would…. on 'Memory Skyscraper'"

The boy's fight was still strong, but he was surrounded and he knew he could do nothing; he looked up at Riku, almost hesitating to make a move of trust, knowing if he didn't he was gone. Without warning, he lept onto the base of the tower speeding upward while he hurled one of his keyblade's at him. With no hesitant reaction, Riku jumped down catching the weapon, receiving pure hatred from the boy as they passed each other.

Riku landed striking the heartless gathering around him. The boy landed behind him, both nodding at each other as a sign of approval .They fought back to back, easily killing off the army of heartless that seemed to grow bigger each second. Striking their last heartless their keyblades clashed, allies turned enemies, but Riku knew this was their destiny.

"Where's Sora" Riku yelled, holding up his keyblade ready to strike at any given moment. They stepped into the light, Riku still on guard. The boy lowered his keyblade and looked up at him, staring at him; his deep blue eyes seemed to shine in the light.

Riku grew silent, his blindfold wet as his eyes swelled up, his mind over flowing with memories of the past. Memories of the island and Kairi, but for some reason Sora stuck in his mind.

He slowly walked up to the boy, embracing him as tears trickled down his face. He leaned back and looked down into his eyes, the look of soft tenderness stood out in which he remembered. The boy looked up at Riku, the feeling seemed so familiar and comforting to him, but his anger was too much and pushed Riku away. His hatred poured at of him, his face slightly wet from a single tear as he looked down at his keyblade.

Riku realized that this wasn't Sora, but he felt so much like him. He stared into his eyes again, and this time saw a deep hatred and sadness in them. He looked up at the shimmering stars, his blindfold soaked from his tears. This boy wasn't Sora, but he sensed a part of him, somewhere in him.

Riku continued to gaze into the sky, a slight smile grew on his face

"You look just like him... Roxas"
