I do not own Riku or any other Square Enix or Disney Characters. I do however own the words to Fallen Angel, Dark Slide, and Depth of Black and if you steal them, I will be angry and send my Hex Karma Creatures after you! BTW, I haven't played KH 1 or finished Reverse/Rebirth so bear with me! It is my version of Riku so deal!

Part 2-What's Wrong with Me

...
This is no time for weeping
All my friends are sleeping
While I waste away in this place
This dark slide took over my life
No freedom from my own pain
This darkness seeps into my soul
In this Twilight that you'll never know
Is a dark slide fading into my dreams?
It seems that I am falling
Farther into myself
...

The king looked at Riku, puzzled. "Is something wrong?" he asked, placing his hand on Riku's shoulder.

Riku shook his head. "Sort of," he said, sighing. "I don't understand it, I'm embracing both darkness and light, yet I still feel torn in two. I had a horrible dream last night, it was so real…" his voice trailed off and he closed his eyes, images flooding his mind.

"RIKU, PLEASE NO!" Kairi yelled, looking up at him with pleading eyes. Sora was lying on the ground, unconscious behind her.

"I'm sorry Kairi, but I have no choice," he said, plunging his sword into her before looking at Sora who was beginning to stir.

"Ri-riku…" he muttered, opening his eyes ad Riku stood over him.

"Farewell, old friend," Riku said, driving his sword into Sora's heart. "I'm sorry."

"Good job Riku. You've done all that I asked," a voice said, a man with black flowing hair stepping from the shadows.

"Lord Rinash," he said, kneeling down, "I have upheld my end of the bargain, now it is your turn. How do I merge the darkness with the light?"

The man began to laugh and pulled out a giant blade. "You don't," he said, plunging the blade into Riku's chest. "You can't, not now, not ever."

"Riku, snap out of it!" the king said, looking at his friend worriedly. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"No, I'm not alright…" he said, sighing. "That dream I had…I killed Sora and Kairi to figure out how to merge light and dark into twilight. It was scary…because then the one I killed them for, he killed me…" Riku said, looking off into the distance.

"Don't worry Riku; we won't let anything like that happen."

...
Sora sighed, looking out at the water, skipping a stone through it. "Hey!" Kairi called, laughing as she ran up to him. "So this is where you've been all day!"

Sora nodded. "Yep, been here since before sunrise, and I haven't left all day."

"Oh, well, what have you been doing here all by yourself?"

"Thinking…about Riku…and the darkness…"

"Sora," she said, placing her hand on his shoulder and smiling. "Don't think on it, Riku's going to be alright, and he'll come home some day," she whispered, tears slipping down her cheeks.

Sora placed his hand on her cheek, wiping the tears off. "Don't cry, please," he said, hugging her. "You're too special to me, please don't be upset…"

She looked up at Sora and smiled. "Alright Sora," she whispered, burying her head in his shoulder.

...
Riku smiled, busying himself with the practice dummy he had fashioned that hung in the courtyard. He'd made it in the likeness of the man from his dreams. He combined his darkness with light rather well considering he's only been working on it for a week.

He turned slightly at the sound of someone in the bushes and sighed, wiping his brow on his shirt that he had taken off about an hour ago. "Is someone there?" he said nervously.

He gasped as a beautiful young girl walked out of the bushes, her black hair pulled back in a loose ponytail. "Sorry to have startled you, but His Majesty asked me to come get you, supper's ready," she said, smiling at him.

"Oh, alright," he said, smiling. "I'm Riku," he added, pulling his shirt back on.

"I'm Cassandra," she said, laughing softly as she reached behind her back. "HAH!" she exclaimed, pointing a bright steel blue blade at him.

"Whoa! What is that all about?" he asked, pulling his blade back.

"Just testing you!" she said, putting her blade back in it's sheath on her back. "Come on or we'll be late for dinner!"
