Disclaimer: I don't own Kingom Hearts, if I did I wouldn't be writing Yaoi, I would be making that game more yaoi accesable to all the fun little writers out there.
Authors note: Now for the next part of my fic! I really like the idea of this one and it seems interesting in my head. I got the idea for this from the Coldplay song Lovers In Japan and Oh my Goddess, though how I have no idea it still helped! And along with little tidbits of my own imagination, this story was born. I hope you keep reading and enjoy this part of my story! :)
"Help? What do you mean help?" Sora said, quickly wipping away the last watery tear so he didn't look like a complete idiot.
"You made a wish, so I am going to help you make it come true." Riku said, casually walking over and sitting next to Sora on the center rock. Even in the dim light there was a certain glow around him that seemed almost magical.
"What, your some sort of genie?" Sora asked, sitting right next to Riku. He felt himself blush a little, but he convinced himself it was from the cold.
"A genie? Humans...the proper name for them is Djinn, and they don't grant wished, they mostly posses different items and posses the bodies of anyone who tries to steal the object. Great for guarding treasure. No, I'm a dark magus, fancy term for a powerful wizard, and we are the only kind who can grant wishes." Riku said quickly. "So, what is your wish? It could be anything within reason."
"How do I know this isn't some sort of practical joke? It's not like Axel wouldn't try something like this to make me look stupid."
Riku sighed a little and lifted up his hand, pointing it right at Sora. Suddenly the shadows started to move and become solid until it took the shape of something that reminded Sora of a tiger and a dog mixed.
"That is my familiar, Nova. That proof enough for you?" Sora didn't say anything, he reached out and petted it, and it gave something similiar to a purr in return. The fur was smoother than silk and cold, like he was actually touching darkness.
"Wow...that's so cool!" Sora said, suddenly Nova disappeared and Sora turned back to Riku.
"Now that that's done with, your wish?"
"I...i really want to get out of this place. I was happy, until my parents got a new job outside of town. They worked in the local clinic, but had been going to classes and stuff to, and they recently got a job at the big hospital in the next town. They hardly are here anymore, and then my friends aren't hanging out with me anymore for heaven knows what reason. Then I just found out my boyfriend is cheating on me, and I just feel so alone." Sora felt like he was going to start crying again, but took a few deep breaths before he turned to Riku.
"Boyfriend?" Riku asked, his face unreadable at the moment.
"Yes, got a problem with that?" Sora said, his voice getting a little cocky and confident now.
"No, it's nothing. But I have to check your aura really quickly, just to see how powerful a spell I need." Riku said, standing up and looking back at Sora.
"Aura? You mean like that new-age stuff?"
"Sort of, it's the source of all magic. There are different types of aura; black, white, blue. A normal aura is composed of different colors depending on personality, life experiences and that sort of stuff. Some people even have a naturally large aura, and can become a mage or even a magus depending on where their from. There are two different worlds, the one we are in right now is the Light Realm. There is some magic, but it is mostly with the Light Mages. Where I'm from magic is much more free and there are very few humans, and it is the Dark Realm. Now, can I get you to hold still really quickly. This is a place of Dark Magic in the Light Realm, so...just stay still."
Then he quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a small grey stone that looked really smooth. Then he held it up and put it on Sora's forehead, muttering a few words under his breath. Then suddenly there was a bright flash and Riku was shot back, a deep warm feeling moving through Sora. He was surrounded by a silver light, a few marks of blue and dark grey, but the silver dominated all of it.
"No way..." Riku muttered, standing up and tracing his fingers over the edge of the silver bubble that surrounded Sora. Sora could begin to see something around Riku, it was black with purple and green surrounding him. "A grey aura...and a really strong one to."
"What does that mean?"
"It means it is neutral. And considering how strong it is, you have magical potential. I haven't seen something this powerful since..."
"So wait, your saying I could become a mage like you?" Sora said, smiling at the idea.
"First off, I am a MAGUS! Much more powerful than your garden variety mage. Any thing in the Dark realm could be a mage. Only the exceptional become Magus. And on that note...yes. It's untapped but it's there. You could become a Light or Dark Magus depending..."
"Can I change my wish?" Sora asked, interupting what seemed like a memorized speech.
"Huh?"
"Can...I...Change my wish?" Sora said slowely.
"I guess, what do you want now?"
"I want to be a Dark Mage...or Magu or whatever."
"MAGUS!" Riku yelled, almost comically. "And Why would you want something like that? If you did you'd have to leave this whole dimension."
"So? Wasn't that what I wanted in the first place?" Sora said, looking down on the ground.
"You'de never see your friends or family again."
"My parents aren't even here and my friends are avoiding me."
"And the Dark Side isn't a picnic, all the scary stories you hear in the Light Side? That is barely scratching the surface of my home. There are things that would kill you in the most unimaginable ways without a second thought."
"Maybe you could protect me, until I could do it on my own?" Sora said, looking up hopefully. Riku blushed and turned his head, staring at the sky.
"Ok, but it will take a while. If I tried to change your aura all at once then you would probably go insane or die. So stand up, and hold still." Riku said, pulling Sora up and moving him a little inside the circle.
"So what are you going to do? Some big spell or potion or something?" Sora said, his hands clenching a little.
"No, something a little simpler." Riku said, pulling out a small book and a pen and writing something down in it. "Now, I will have to do this four nights in a row. And every day after there will be a change. The first day, tomorrow, you will get stronger and faster. The next day you will get smarter, and a little paranoid so sorry. And the third day you will gain the basics of magic, so you'll have to be careful. On the fourth night it will be done and then you will have to come back with me. God...the council is going to throw a fit!"
Then he stuffed it away and pulled out a small leather bracelet, putting it on Sora's wrist.
"What's this?" The brunette asked, examining it closely. It had three small stones laced inside it; white, grey and black.
"It does two things, one it tells you if there is another source of magic nearby. If the black stone glows it is someone with Dark Magic, If the white stone glows it is someone with Light Magic, and the Grey stone will tell you if it is me. Also, it will prove to you tomorrow that you didn't dream this and remind you to come back here at midnight tomorrow. I might be early or late, but be back here around midnight." Riku said, taking a few deep breaths.
"Why would I need to pove this really happened." Sora asked, a little worried.
"Because otherwise you might think this is a dream. And sorry, this will be painful."
"What will be..." but before he could finish Riku bent forward and kissed him. Sora froze up, this being the very last thing he expected and didn't even notice when their lips disconnected. Suddenly he felt like someone had stabbed a hot knife into his chest. Then in the next instant he collapsed unconcious.
"Well, let's get you home before the sun comes up." Riku said, calling up Nova and putting Sora on top of her. "I can't leave this circle, so take him home."
Where does he live? A voice said inside Riku's head.
"How should I know? Just try and find a house that smells like him and drop him off inside it." Riku said, Nova just sighing and taking off.
And you're supposed to be the smart one.
"SHUT UP!" Riku yelled, stepping out of the circle and dissappearing.
Fin
A query to all my readers, that I have been thinking about for a while. I have looked at all sorts of TV show, Video game and Anime fanfics and I just have to wonder something. Do the owners and actors who play these characters ever actually get on and read what these people are doing to them? Some of the stuff I've seen would sicken me f I acted that character (-If I could act-) But that's just me, what do you guys think? Tell me when you review, which you should do...RIGHT NOW!
Sincerely – L
