My Shadow…Returns…
A/N: My first Kingdom Hearts fanfic, well here it is!
Sora was sitting in the fields in the middle of no where with Donald and Goofy. He was bored out of his mind and was tired from chasing Pluto, that dog knew were King Mickey was, but they had lost him.
"Come on you guys, let's just go back," Sora suggested slowly getting up.
They all stretched, and Donald was getting angry, "Come on! We have to hurry and find the king!"
"Yeah, your right, we need to find the king and Riku!" Sora yelled and they began to run, except for Goofy.
"Garwsh you guys! Wait up! This is very tiring you know, wait, what am I saying, let's find the king!" And he caught up to them.
They ran and ran and ran, still nothing but a path and trees. But soon it grew dark, they panted, and collapsed on top of each other.
"Aww…How far can he be?" said Sora pouting.
Goofy looked ahead of them, "Hmm… I think I see something up ahead!"
"Oh! I see it too!" yelled Sora
"Donald, do you see it?" asked Goofy, but all he heard was a mumbling sound.
"Where is Donald?" asked Sora.
Goofy shrugged and they both stood up and scanned the area.
When they looked down they saw Donald with stars around his head.
"What happened Donald?" Goofy asked.
Donald rubbed his head and stood up and glared at them, "You two bozos sat on me!"
Donald got really angry and was about to cast a spell, but then a familiar voice came out of no where, "Calm down there Donald."
They stopped and turned to see this person. They all grew a smile on their face, "KING MICKEY!" they screamed in unison.
Donald and Goofy hugged their king, "Wow, now we don't have to run anymore!"
"Mickey, where's Riku!" Sora yelled after realizing that his friend wasn't with him.
Mickey put down his head, "He's gone."
Sora's eyes shot open, "What? Riku? Why! What happened to him," Sora grabbed Mickey and tears fell from his face.
"These men dressed in black long hooded coats took him away. We tried fighting them off. But, they're too strong. They knowcked me unconscious and when I awoke, Riku was gone."
Sora made a fist with one hand and used the other to pound it on the ground, "I promised Kairi I'd come back, with him too. I have to find him, he's my best friend."
He stood up and wiped away his tears, "Smile Sora…Don't put your friends down. Smile damnit!" he tried his best to keep his mood up, but it just hurt too much.
Donald and Goofy tried to comfort him as they began to walk. King Mickey just started to cry putting his hands in his pockets looking down.
Sora turned to see Mickey sobbing, "Sorry I upset you Mickey," he said seizing the group.
"No, it's not your fault, I just hope they don't mentally rape him. You know how much that can damage his decisions?" they all nodded and continued to walk down the seemingly endless road.
As they walked, the sun rose and set, and they stopped at a strage crossroad with 5 paths.
"Where now?" Goofy asked looking around.
"Wait, do you hear that?" Mickey said pulling out his golden keyblade.
Sora sensed it too, there was a noise coming from the right and so he pulled out his oathkeeper, "Donald! Goofy! Get ready, we hear something."
"So, you abandoned me again for these two eh Sora?" said a familiar voice.
"R-riku?" he stuttered looking to the direction where his voice came from.
"Sora becareful, it's not real," Mickey assured him.
"Not real? Are you saying I never existed to you Mickey? I thought you were my friends too."
"You can't be Riku," and Sora swung at the dark figure.
"Why not Sora? Don't even remember your own best bud?" it laughed at him and a sword of pure darkness was pulled from underneath the cloak.
"You can't be Riku, he's not in the darkness anymore," Mickey confirmed taking another swing at it.
This made it back away to show a person with long black hair with a half mask and a familiar scar on his cheek.
"Heartless…" Donald muttered.
"I knew you couldn't be Riku!" Sora yelled.
The figure chuckled and removed his half mask, "Do you believe me now?"
He then took off his cloak to show Riku's clothes of when Sora fought him.
"You, you can't be him!"
"Oh but I am Sora, because you left me out of your fun, caring about these new friends, and Kairi, ripping my heart out choosing you over me! No one loves me, I'm just like the shadows now…"
"That's not true!" Mickey yelled.
They stared each other down until they heard a noise coming from the cloak.
"Sora! Mickey!" it seemed to call out for them.
The voice sounded like the figures, but lighter and less deep. Sora rushed for the cloak and lifted it up. There was a flash and another Riku came out. He wore a blindfold made of white silf, and hair was bleach white. His clothes were the same as usual, except were a bit more damaged.
"What are you doing here lesser half?"
"I'm here to take back what's mine!" and he took out a pure white keyblade and struck at the dark figure. They seemed to go together and squish into a body, forming the Riku they knew.
"Where am I?" he said rubbing his head.
They all rejoiced, but then a huge shadow came out of nowhere and engulfed Riku in its darkness, "We're not done with you yet boy!"
Soar gasped and ran to take Riku's hand, "Riku! Hang on there!"
They grasped each others hand, but Riku was knocked unconscious, and entered further into the grasps of the heartless.
"No…"
Riku awoke in a dark room, with red lights and many shadows. A Man in red with blue and silver hair turned to him, Riku was shocked to see that half of his face was burned.
"Hello my friend."
"You're not my friend you bastard!" and Riku ran for him, but a dark force stopped him from attacking.
"You foolish young man. You know that darkness possesses you, but you still hide from it. Why won't you accept the darkness, it'll make you stronger!"
"My friends, they still give me hope."
"What friends? That Sora boy has abandoned you for that duck and his friend. And the king, he'll probably forget you too. And that girl you helped Sora fight for, she never loved you as much as you did her."
"Lies!"
"But I'm just telling you the truth…" and he opened a mirror, inside he saw the dark form of him, and it was cowering in fear from three figures above it. Riku couldn't believe it, it was Sora, Mickey and Kairi.
"They never loved you, you were nothing to them!"
Riku started to cry, he succumbed to it, and his eyes grew red, "They will pay…"
"Yes my child, they will!"
