Fall to pieces

By: the Maria half of Zeida and Maria

Summery:What if my freakish fleeting thought, the result of not having finished the first game, and not having played Chain of Memories, was true? Basicly, Sora was... not... just not. and Riku was was trying to make him him again.

Ch. 1: New Life

Roxas gasped as he awoke from another strange dream. In the dream he was not himself, he never was lately. He was, as one dream with a mirror showed, a different boy entirely. A boy about his own age with spikier-than-thou brown hair and bright blue eyes. It was the eyes that Roxas always remembered, they were the only way he recognised himself. They were his eyes.

Roxas changed out of his pajamas and into his favorite outfit. He wore a a white short-sleeved jacket with a red colar and a black checker pattern along the seams. Visible beneath the unzipped jacket was a high colar black shirt with a zipper spliting it up the middle, leading to a shuruken shaped grip. This under shirt reached below his fairly short jacket to overlap black and white jeans. Roxas hopped toward the door pulling on the second of his black, white and red sneakers.

At the usual spot, three kids lounged restlessly.

"When's he going to get here?" whined a clurly blond haired boy, Hayner.

"He probably just overslept again.He's been looking strained lately." Soothed the only girl in the room, Olette.

"Yeah, besides it's summer, we arn't supposed to be on time!" agreed the slightly heavy built bot sitting next to he on the little green couch.

"You guys talking about me?" drawled a voice from behoind the curtain blocking the cozt area from the street.

Roxas walked in grinning but looking, as Olette observed, strained and tired. Hayner lept off the stack of crates that were his seatand strode across the room to the entrance. He put an arm around Roxas' slim shoulders, laughing.

"Of course we're talking about you. You are our sole source of amusement, egotistical fruitloop!" He excaimed in mock seriousness.

Roxas shook his head and sat in his spot, a lone crate against the wall, next to the green couch that Pence and Olette occupied."So, what are we doing today?" he asked.

"Well, our attempts to get to the beach this summer are miserable, but I think-" Hayner started

"NO! We have to do homework!" Olette reminded everyne.

There was a colective groan.

"Oh, come on!" Pence said, "It's summer!"

"But tommorrow is the Struggle and both Roxas and Hayner are in it!" she reprimanded, "If not today, then when?"

"All right, we'll do it today" Roxas caved, "What's our topic?"

Pence stood up and showed everyone a map. "I had this really cool idea, you see I heard these rumors about downtown. They sounded really freaky, like these steps," Pence pionted a marked location out on the map, "They count different going up and down!" He wiggled his fingers to sudgest mystery and magic.

Hayner laughed, "It's like the seven wonders of Twilight Town!"

Every one rose o head to the station that would bring them to downtown Twilight town.

"It's free if we stay within the town, right?" Roxas asked.

"Yep! We get this done, and then tomorrow, I beat you up at the struggle tornament!" Hayner exclaimed.

"In your dreams!" retorted Roxas.

Light flooded a dark room wher only a silhouette was visible due to a multitude of bright flashing screens around the chamber. A tall figure in a black cloak walked into the door. He closed the door quietly behind him, letting the room fade once more. "DiZ, how much longer?" the figure asked in a young man voice.

"75 restoration, not much longer now." answered the silhouette in front of the monitors. He sounded much older than his hooded partner.

"Could... I mean, would it be safe to see him now?" asked the younger man hesitantly.

A laugh emmited from the bandage clad head. "You can visit your friend." he replied. "The password is 'Paopu'"

The mysterious fugure nodded in acknowledgement, and walked over to a strange light emmiting from a device hanging from the celing. He reached out a gloved hand to touch the light, and vanished.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roxas had a long disturbing day. In downtown Twilight Town they had looked for the seven wonders for thier project. And, boy, did Roxas find them! They wer deffinatly wonders. But none of his friends saw that, they were always just seconds too late, and only noticed the natural phenomena that the wonders emerged from. He sighed, lieing on his back and closing his eyes.

"Roxas."

He shot up again looking for the source of the sudden voice. His clear blue eyes opened in wide suprise as he aw the tall, hooded man standing in front of him. "Where'd you come from!" Roxas exclaimed, searching his room for a weapon.

The hooded figure reached up and pulled down his hood. In front of Roxas stood a boy, barely older than himself. He recognised the face. Roxas doubled over on the bed, holding his head. Ice blue eyes! He gasped in pain, the face! Long, layered white-blue hair. Roxas thought his head would explode. this was the best friend of the boy he always turned into in his dreams. Roxas looked up, trying to focus,

"who are... you?" he finally managed to gasp.

"You know who I am." the boy said calmly.

Roxas felt himself begin to drift away, just at the sound of the voice. What was happening to him?

"Riku?" The boy nodded.

"Yeah, but I'm afraid it's not you I want to talk to."

Roxas didn't understand, why would he even be here if he didnt want to talk to the only person in the house at the moment? Riku reach out and gently touched Roxas' forehead.

"Paopu." he said.

"Wha..." Roxas collaped, his clear blue eyes hazing, but not closing.

Riku sat on the bed next to him and pulled his prone form into a sitting position."Sora? Are you... here yet?"

The foggy blue eyes looked up at him, and Roxas' body leaned against Riku. His mouth was slightly open, "Ri...ku?" it formed in a quiet weak voice.

Riku smiled and hugged the boy. "Don't worry, you're almost back. How much do you remember?"

"Almost everything. I'm... confused"whispered the weak voice from Roxas' mouth.

"What about?"

"This body... it's not... me..."

"Well, it is... sort of you. And it's the best opton we had."

The possed body looked up, confusion imprinted on Roxas' features. "What do -"

The boy way cut off by a loud voice emminating from nowhere."Riku, your time is up. Send the boy back to his dormancy." called DiZ

"Sorry, Sora, I've got to go." Riku stood and gave Roxas a quick hug, before touching his head and repeating the password.

Roxas' body collapsed again and Riku tenderly tucked him in and turned off the lights.

Riku vanished.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You need not have told him that." DiZ reprimanded Riku.

"He should know. Where's Namine?"

"Don't worry, the preparations will take just a little longer, then you can have your friend back."

Riku smiled and left to tie up a few loose ends.

"Wait."

Riku turned in time to catch a small object thrown to him. "What's this?" he asked.

"Keep that on your person at all times. If there's an emergency I'll use it to get you here in a hurry." DiZ informed him. Riku nodded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sora opened his eyes to see a world of darkness. Where is this? he thought. Then it came back to him, this is where he had been for a while now. It was a world of absolute nothingness occupied only by his ethereal form.

"Riku...?" he said aloud. It echoed through the silence, "Ku... ku..."

Riku had come, he had brought Sora to this place. Sora remembered him saying something like he would have to stay here for a while, but Riku would get him out. Riku had visited on several occasions, keeping him company and just talking to him. He, Riku, had explained that something bad, they weren't sure how, had happened to Soras body, and he could no longer use it. Sora shuddered at the painfull memory.

Flasback

Riku cuddled Soras still form. He didn't have long now, Ansem and Malefacent's final curse had wasted him. Sora groaned and shivered in pain as Riku rose, carrying him.

"Ri...ku..." he gasped

"Shhhh... Don't worry."

"I... found you..." Sora smiled, his eyes barely opened, taking in the features of his long lost friend. Soras body was almost gone now. Disintagrating at an alarming rate. He cried out as more of him was eaten away by the spell. Riku walked carefully, so as not to cause Sora more pain and gently layed him on a ledge. Muttering something, darkness gathered around Riku. He held up his arms and ripped open a door into the darkness. he turned back to Sora. Barely anything was left of the brunette now. Riku lifted through the portal as the last of him vanished into golden dust, carried of by wind. Tears began to escape his ice blue eyes as he waited for Soras heart and Soul to gain a conciousness.

End Flashback

Sora pondered his latest meeting with Riku. he had had a corporeal body. It wasn't his. Sora wondered if the person had a life before Riku had claimed his body for himself. Or maybe, Thought Sora, cross-legged and upsidedown, it was a corpse. Would Riku kill for him? Sora shuddered, he hoped not. Floating gently on his back now, Sora went over the possibilities. Wan't there any other way than to steal someones body? Sora had actually entertained thoughts of a cloned body. He laughed. Clone! Cid had once explained what a clone was, but he said even he didn't know how to make one. Sora frowned, he would have to ask Riku how his friends were next time he came.
