Half Life CHI
Disclaimer (I'M ONLY SAYING THIS ONCE SO PAY ATTENTION): I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, I barely own my own name… how the hell do you think I can keep hold of a company!!
Summery: Vampires, Demons, and Angles Oh my. An odd set of green eyes is following our poor Riku, and wired kidnappings going on the island... Is there more here then what's actually possible… AxelxRiku (may turn Yaoi)
"Come on Ri… stop joking around, lets just get out of here." Said my small friend curled up in his jacket.
"What's wrong Sora? Scared of the big bad rumor-mill." I replied.
"Riku… I swear they're more than just rumors!" yelled my spiky brunet haired friend.
"What makes you say that Sora?" I said trying to keep his mind on me, because I also knew the rumors weren't entirely B.S..
People have been disappearing over the past seven months. There are no suspects, and no dead bodies… but, that was the thing, there were bodies just no dead ones… they just wondered back, alive and well. The thing that was bad for the police, was the fact none of them had any memory of the time they were gone. The strange part is, where the rumors started to emerge from (if this wasn't strange enough already)… on every person that came back there was an odd rash that showed up on all almost all of there necks, and some, there wrists. On top of all that some wacko on the internet claimed to get a picture of the rash, I could tell it was a fake, but it still scared poor Sora to pieces… the 'rash' looked like a bite mark, and from there the 'rumor-mill' kept spitting out stories of Vampires hunting on our little Island. I still think all this Vampire crap is B.S., and that its really just some random weirdo kidnapping people, and on top of that he has a sick sense of humor. Still not something to take lightly but-
"RIKU!!!…"
"Are you listening to me?" Sora screamed shaking me out of my thought.
"I think the whole Island's listening after that little yell of yours." I commented ringing out my ears.
"Oh-no you don't think the Vampires herd me do you?" he said now slightly panicking.
"Oh yeah. Along with the werewolves, all of the pixies and of course the Easter Bunny." I said trying to lighten the mood.
Though with that, he hit me and called me a 'Jerk'…oh well I got him to laugh.
From that point on we were able to carry a much lighter topic like the new teachers and students at school. Yeah I'm 20 and still going to school, sue me, when I was in 8th grade I was still the right age, but there was an accident causing me to be in the hospital for around a year and a half. Then I had to go right back in after the treatment failed, then physical therapy. All in all an incident I don't want to repeat (or go to far into). So, total it all up, and you get nearly three years of school missed.
After the whole incident my mom, and her bizarre single ways, thought it would be good for me to get out of Hollow Bastion, and she brought me to little Destiny Island off the coast of 'No-where' (this place is made up of all the corny-ness and stereotypical pieces of an island paradise… but hey it's a cool place to live and I learned to surf).
For me it ended up being a lose win situation: True I got in an accident and I left my home town, but hey, my home town wasn't all that great and if all this didn't happen I wouldn't of met my now closest friend… Sora Strife.
Sure we have our ruff spots but be know how far to push each other and we can tell each other almost anything. I say almost because Sora still doesn't know I swing both ways. Him finding out would probability ruin what friendship we have, so that stays quiet. (Scary enough I think my mom is the only one who knows… and I never told her…… I will never get women).
As we approached Sora's house I said my good nights and headed home in the near dark. Luckily I only live a few blocks away… wouldn't want the Vampires to get me, ha ha.
Sora had long since closed his door and I had just turned the corner to head down my street when I felt something watching me. I turned around to see nothing there so I pressed on. Though the farther I walked, the more the stare intensified. I looked around and the stare lightened, there was some body here, close.
I press on one more time actually passing my house, planning to loose this damn stare so it doesn't find out where I live, and hoping to god that my 'Kali' lessons pay off. I head over to the park, a block from my house, not expecting to see what I saw there…
A kid… a little boy. He looks to be about Sora's age, looks wise 14-15, age, hopefully the same but I'm a really bad judge. I thought Sora was like six when I met him, he was really around ten (I got smacked for that one to). Any way back to the kid…
……………
…………
….…..
…where did he go?
….…..
…………
……………
I look around for the kid and find nothing. I don't dare call out in concern (not fear), of that stare coming back.
After a wile, there was no sign of the kid, he probably just headed home, and the stare was gone. This time I actually head back home, wondering what the hell just happened.
Normal POV:
"Now what the hell did you have to go and do that for?" said the tall figure now sitting in the tree.
"What…" said a young boy re-forming out of the mist, "I like to have my fun."
"You know you're getting to be as bad as Dem, Roxy." Said the tall man taking off the hood to his black trench coat.
"HOW?!?" Roxas sat up and questioned…loudly.
"And my temper is starting to rub off ya' too."
"Impossible, only a fire demon can come close to matching that hot head of yours." Said Roxas in a mocking tone.
"Oh…that's cold Roxas… see…chills."
"I have no idea why Xemnas actually keeps you around."
"Oh, you mean Mansex…" Roxas only rolled his eyes, "Think of it this way… why do you keep me around?" (a/n Readers get you minds out of the damn gutter!!!!! There is no XemnasxAxel in this story… eww)
Roxas sighed and smilled, "you're enjoying this too much.. aren't you?"
"What? I don't always get stuck with the icky jobs."
Roxas sent him off with a shoo, and the man disappeared in a flash of flames.
"We'll be waiting for you." and with that Roxas was gone.
Riku POV:
As soon as I walked through my front door I was mobbed by two of my three older brothers who apparently come over for winter break to say hi to there little brother, and pilfer food of our poor mom.
I had no views agents it… other than Kadaj nearly pounding me into the carpet for being late, Loz for lurking in the kitchen learning how to cook from my mom and Yazoo for… wait where's Yazoo?
"Hey mom…" I managed to say with Kadaj still holding me in a headlock.
"Yes….." she says in a playful tone.
"Where's Yazoo?" I asked, giving me enough distraction with Kadaj to throw him on to the couch.
"He sends he regards but he's working on some project for Shinra Inc." Loz's gruff voice said from the kitchen.
"Now you have no one to referee for you twerp." Kadaj said hopping to get the jump on me.
But I was too fast. I ducked... and he hit wall. "You'd really attack a cripple? That's fair." I said sarcastically.
"Your no cripple." Kadaj said with a huff.
"Did you forget my papers up stairs? Besides, I don't kneed a Reff agents you anyway… and I'm only around two years younger then the three of you." I said in my defense.
"In sibling years, that's close to ten years. Now hold still…" Said my stupid older clone as he lunged for me again.
"Then if you're that much older… why aren't you that much smarter?" I said, now really enjoying my self.
Too bad the fun came to an end when my mom stepped in for my missing sibling and called us in for diner.
As the four of us sat down you might actually think we were a normal family other than the fact that my brother's and my own hair turned silver when we were six-seven years old (I had hair like my mom when I was born, but I guess we all turned out like dad…go figure). We talked about normal things: my brothers work in Shinra Inc., and me thinking about collage, and finally being able to graduate (that topic nearly induced a food fight between Kadaj and I).
After diner is when things start to get uncomfortable for me. For some reason that same starring feeling came back… it wasn't the same as before it didn't have such a evil intent and it was actually warm, it still sent chills up my spine on the fact that it knew where I lived. On top of that when I started to look at the windows it still wouldn't go away and there was nothing in the windows to see (as an added bonus my brother hit me for acting like a paranoid idiot… today I have gained new respect for punching bags).
As the clock strikes twelve o'clock the four of us decided we have had enough of each other and we head of to bed. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum share the guest room and I head off to my room on the second floor (yes, I still stay with my mother. It wasn't my idea. She hasn't let me out of her sight since the accident). The warm stare left me around a hour ago and I hope it doesn't irritate me while I sleep, for good measure I lock the door and windows (out of caution not fear). I take a shower and get dressed for bed, still with no stare, I crawl into bed and I feel blessed I get to go to sleep with out that creepy--
Crap… It returns.
This time I try to ignore it, but its there, and it doesn't feel like it's going away anytime soon.
There's no threat behind it, it's just observing me, like I'm some experiment. I know for a fact, at this point, I have had enough. With out turning on a light I get up and look out the window to actually lock eyes with the same pair burning a hole into the back of my head.
They say the eyes are the window to the soul, well this thing found mine and instead of burning a hole in the back of my head the burn is going right into my soul. Those poison green eyes have mine dead locked and no mater how much I know I should look a way I can't, those damn green eyes just pull me deeper and deeper.
The acid emerald eyes seem like they are searching for something, something they don't know, how or where to find. I feel a slight tug some where deep inside of my heart but I don't know what it is but it must have been what the eyes were looking for. They took nothing, but left me with a hundred questions. The last thing I herd before the eyes disappeared, was a deep, smooth, slightly accented voice say: "See ya' 'round kid." With that the eyes just disappeared, no smoke, no fire, just gone.
Those eyes left me with so many questions rather than answers: who was that? What did it want? What was that tug? And what did it mean "See ya' 'round kid." ? No one calls me kid… I'm twenty for god's sake!
At this point there was only two things I did know: one I have got to find those eyes again. And two…tomorrow is going to be hell.

I completed a chapter.
This story I have had in mind for ever, but it has gone through major changes. I'll do my best to keep the momentum up in the story but who knows.
and as you all probably realized I kind of need a beta (I have horrible grammar and spelling) and having someone to bounce Ideas off of would be of great help. so any volunteers?
Quick thing about the story. This will probably end up a soft yaoi, there will be a couple of parings from Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts past, present, and future. By the way… if anyone gives me grief about Sora's last name, no cupcakes for you.
Oh one more thing, "Kali" is a fighting stile using swords and sticks, so pretty much cross Riku's fighting stile with Reno's and then you got 'Kali'… Or at least I think that's right.
Well I hope you all enjoyed CH I of Half Life and I hope you come back for CH II
Read and review please

p.s
to any one who has played 358/2......
who else agrees with me that Lea should NOT of been Axel's name...
Alex works so much better. I personally don't think that the Organization would add a second X if one was already in the person's name.
any who...
later days ^-^
