Disclaimer:I dont own kingdom heart or its characters


A large heartless attacked from the rear, hissing.

"NO!" Riku swung around, cleaving the heartless in two.

The heartless in the shadows surged around him, challenging him.

'so tired' Riku shook his head.

A heartless lunged.

'I can't let them...'

Dodge

'...win. I can't...'

Thrust

'...lose'

'why not? why can't I lose?'

Duck

'I...I can't...'

'why? do I enjoy this...this nightmare?'

Slash

'NO! no I hate it!'

'then why?'

Roll

'why can't I lose?'

'because if I lose...'

Jump

'I would die, then they would have my heart.'

'so?'

'SO! they would control me again!'

Dodge

'so? I would be able to sleep...peace...rest... '

"Gaaahh..."

A small heartless had clung to his cloak, crawled up, and was gouging away at his chest while he was struggling with his exaustion.

'minnneee...'

His will to live took over.

"NO!"

Riku tore the heartless from his chest and slashed it in half.

"no..."

the pain...

the exaustion...

the sheer madness!

A puddle of blood was forming at his feet.

Another heartless was tearing at his leg. He kicked it back into the mob.

His chest was beginning to throb with increasing intensity, slowing him. His leg was hurting too, but nowhere near as bad as his chest. The front of his cloak was in crimson shreads.

Pain. Overwhelming pain.

In all this time, never had a heartless wounded him this bad. It had been such a small one too. How could it do so much damage with just one attack!

Well, he'd never had a heartless attack his chest so directly. His heart.

"They must be tired of 'playing'."Riku mumbled with a pained smile.

Another on his back, digging away.

"Gaahh..."

'..they must be trying to get to my heart...by digging through my back...' Riku thought in a foggy haze

He tore it off as he fell to his knees.

"no...I have to get back up..."

Another jumped on as he slumped to the ground.

"..once you're down..."

Another. They swarmed him like flies.

"you don't..."

A heartless stood on Riku's back as he lay stretched out on the ground of blackness.

"...get back.."

The heartless raised its glistening claws, and plunged them...

"..up.."

...into Riku's back.

"..uhhh..."


Riku: ouchies... T.T

Me: awww... It'll be okay .

Riku: -glare-
