He
was surrounded by darkness. He could hear them out there. The
rustling sound of them pressing against one another as they shoved
their way towards him, their tiny feet slapping against the ground he
could not see.
He held out his keyblade and dropped into a
fighting stance, trying not to notice how his knees felt weak and his
hands shook as he stared blindly into the darkness.
"I won't
lose to you!" he shouted into the darkness, ignoring the way his
voice cracked slightly in fear.
He was tired, so tired of
fighting. He had been here for what seemed like forever, when in
reality it could have been months, days, hell even only minutes in
this hellish world. He fought on and on but he wasn't sure how much
longer he could continue on his own.
A set of round golden orbs
blinked into life before him. He silently cursed his weakness as he
took a swing at the creature. As soon as he had cut it down another
had already replaced it. The process repeating itself faster and
faster until he found himself surrounded by millions of blazing
yellow eyes and tiny black bodies. Panting, trying to lift his heavy
arms and will himself into battle once more as the heartless
swarmed..."Riku? Wake up Riku!"
A terrified
voice cut through his nightmares as he shot up in bed, panting, cold
sweat running down his back, his thick silver locks glued to his face
with sweat. In the moonlit room he could see the worried face of his
best friend who knelt on his bed.
Riku brought a shaky hand up and
brushed his hair out of his face.
"Are you okay Riku? I heard
you shouting from my room and when I came in you were thrashing
around and..."
"The darkness." Riku
whispered
"Nani?" Sora asked, forgetting what he was
saying before Riku interrupted him
Riku looked over at his friend
"I was having nightmares about my time in the darkness."
"Oh."
replied Sora
Riku looked towards the window, away from Sora "I
was fighting them, alone...I was so weak...so powerless...I was about
to give up..." he said softly
He was interrupted by a shift
in the bed. Suddenly warm, smaller arms were wrapped around his chest
and a head of soft, spiky, honey brown hair was laid on his
shoulder.
"You aren't weak, you fought the darkness. You
proved that you are stronger than it." Sora said softly with a
small smile
Riku sighed "But what if it comes back Sora? What
if it tempts me once again and this time I'm not strong enough to
fight it off again...I'm so tired of fighting."
He heard the
boy holding him laugh softly "Tired of fighting? Who are you and
what have you done with Riku?" Sora joked
The corners of
Riku's lips twitched upwards slightly. He felt the weight leave his
shoulder and a small hand gently turned him to face Sora. His eyes
locking on the suddenly serious blue depths of Sora's.
"Riku
if ever you are thrown back into the darkness I will come and get
you. No matter what I'll bring you back with me. You are strong,
strong enough to fight off the darkness a million times! If you ever
doubt your strength rely on mine, I will always be fighting
along-side you. If not physically then in spirit." Sora
said
Sora brought his lips to Riku's in a chaste kiss to seal his
promise to the older boy. As they pulled apart Riku hugged the
keyblade master to him.
"Thankyou."
