Second Drabble: Confusion
People like Sora and Ikki confused Kilik. Sora was slated for destruction as an inferior product and Ikki was just some bird-brained child who tried to follow Sora's footsteps. They were both fools. But, somehow, Sora had overcome his severe injuries that Kilik had inflicted on him, and was moving swiftly in his plan for world-wide chaos. And Ikki had completely destroyed whatever plans anyone had for him and was rising as a new King of a new Road. Sora and Ikki confused Kilik, but they also infuriated him. The way they hurtled towards the unknown with their characteristically careless abandon. They both pissed him off, but Sora was by far the more important one. Why should he care about some wet behind the ears novice storm rider?
If that was the case, why was he watching Kogarasumaru's Disk battle? It was painful. Ikki's exponential growth, his rag-tag style of leadership, his hair, his smile; he was like a mini-clone of Sora. But there was something different. As much as Kilik was bound the Tower, chained to it, Sora had become infected by it. The Tower was like a virus spreading its toxic influence slowly…until Sora threw everything to obey its whim. There was no such taint in Ikki. Politics, power struggles, obstacles, all were the same to him. He flew above those pointless things, never let any lead chains weigh him down. He was free, and he would break out of any and every cage to stay that way. Kilik was envious. To be so free, to truly enjoy flight, something he and Sora had lost a long time ago.
But perhaps, what made Ikki so different from the doomed relationship Kilik and Sora had shared so long ago was the way he treated people. Never took them for granted, angered if they didn't believe in themselves. The way he treated that skinny blonde… Ikki never left him behind. He always turned around to push him back to the right direction. The way those two flew higher and higher, soaring together, propelled by their gentle rivalry and even greater friendship. No, it was more than that. The way that Ikki treasured that boy, the way the boy believed and trusted in Ikki… Wasn't it what Kilik wanted from Sora? Something that would never happen? As much as he despised Ikki, Kilik hoped that he would never change. Those two, a crow and a ghost, were the second chance that he and Sora would never have.
END
I hope my characterizations of Kilik and Sora are too OOC…. I'm actually not sure about them at all. I mean…
