Feeling of Empty
Sora's POV
Sora snapped his eyes open and sat up. He was breathing heavily and in cold sweat. He attempted to stand but cried out and fell back down. A large wave of pain washed over him and he gasped. Straining to lift his head Sora looked at where the pain was blossoming from.
"W-wha?" Sora gasped as he stared at his abdomen.
On his stomach was a large gash that was pouring blood all over his sheets. The gash looked angry and new it had an aura of darkness come out. Sora remembered his nightmare and laid back down breathing in short labored gasps. Pain was the only thing he felt.
"Empty…empty"
Sora suddenly heard nothing, no even his own breathing. He sat up and tried to leave the room, but a wave of nausea over took him and heaved. A large pool of blood hit the floor with a splat. Sora only stared down at it as it glistened in the dim light.
"Oh my god" He whispered.
Riku's POV
(About the same time)
Riku opened his eyes. He was in his room not the islands. He sat up and stared at the clock. 5:49 am. No one was awake at this hour of the day. He rubbed his temples and groaned in anger. What the hell was that? Why would he dream about Sora disappearing? It was too early to think of those things. He lay back down and sighed.
"Sora…would you ever leave me?" He said aloud to the empty room.
Riku stayed in the bed for hours just thinking about Sora. Would he ever leave him? No the idea was absurd. Sora and Riku were best friends they wouldn't hurt each other. But Riku hurt Sora because of his own curiosity. But Sora forgave him.
"Ugh…stop thinking Riku you'll hurt yourself" He slapped his head with his palm. "Sora won't leave that's final!"
Riku rose from his bed and walked out of the room. He was going to visit Sora and ask him some questions. Even if he was still asleep he'd drag him out of bed he'd get his answers.
Sora's POV
Sora didn't feel pain anymore, his gaze drifted from the blood to his stomach. The gash was gone but the blood was still there.
"That wasn't just any nightmare" Sora said.
He rose from his bed and limped out the door for his stomach was killing him. Out in the hallway he got nauseated again and threw up blood.
"Empty…you are empty"
"Shut up" Sora said through gritted teeth and ran out the door.
Sora continued to run out to the docks, without hesitating he got on his boat and rowed to Destiny Island. The voice still following him.
"Empty…empty"
Riku's POV
"I have no idea why I live so far from Sora" Riku grumbled.
Riku walked up the road Sora's house in his sight. Reaching the house he knocked on the door. The sounds of someone running down the stairs were heard from the other side of the door. 'Don't hurt yourself Sora' Riku thought. But was surprised when he saw not Sora open the door but his mother.
"Have you seen Sora!" She cried. She looked like she had just woken up.
"N-no ma'am"
"Oh my god where is he?" She broke down.
"What happened?" Riku said with concern.
"I-I think I poisoned him! I have never seen so much blood!"
"B-blood?" Riku stuttered
"Riku I can't find him! Please help me!" Selene pleaded her eyes filled with tears.
"I'll find him ma'am!" Riku turned and ran down the road.
He had a feeling of where he was. Destiny Islands.
Sora's POV
Sora stood in the ocean about knee deep. The water was washing some of the blood off his clothing. Sora didn't feel anything not even pain.
'What's wrong with me?' He thought.
"You're empty"
'What do you mean?'
"Well, do you feel anything?"
'Not really'
"Hehe, see empty"
"Who are you?" Sora said aloud.
"Sora?" A high voice called.
Sora looked over his shoulder then swore. Kairi was on the beach.
Kairi was Sora's female friend. She had long crimson hair that reached the shoulder blades. She had violet eyes and was wearing a white shirt with a pink zip up…thing. (Don't know what it is) with a pink skirt. She was a worry wart at times.
"Oh hey Sora! I didn't know you were here!"
"Me neither" He answered curtly surprising Kairi.
"Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or what?"
"No everything was fine till you showed up"
Kairi's mouth dropped open, Sora was never rude. She was waiting for him to turn to her and say he was joking, but it never happened. She began to grow angry.
"Sora take that back!"
"Reason? (My response when I'm angry)"
"Because that's rude!"
"Oh I'm so sorry, your highness!" His voice dripped with sarcasm.
"S-sora" Tears began to fill her eyes "W-why are y-you acting this way?"
"Because you're annoying"
Kairi broke down and fell to her knees. Usually Sora would feel really bad and say he was joking and pleaded her to forgive him, but this time Sora just smiled and had a feeling fill him. Though he couldn't help but wonder, why was he acting this way? Was it because he was having a bad day?
Suddenly a wave of nausea took Sora and he paled. He swallowed quickly to keep the blood down. Closed his eyes, and breathed large slow breaths. Not now not in front of her. Everything went silent, but this time he was grateful.
Empty…empty
"Empty…hmm" Sora whispered.
Riku's POV
Riku jumped off his boat and ran down the beach. He had to be here! Selene said she'd never seen so much blood. Blood. The thought sent shivers up his spine.
"Sora" He whispered.
As he ran down the beach he stopped in his tracks. Kairi was on the sand crying her eyes out. Not even seeing Sora he ran the young woman and when to his knees.
"Kai what's wrong!" Riku embraced the princess of heart.
"I-I don't k-know what I-I did" Kairi sobbed "H-he's act-ting s-strange, l-like his heart is t-tainted"
"Tainted? Who are you talking about?"
Kairi only pointed to the water and Riku followed it and saw Sora, back turned to the two. Riku began to grow angry he stood and shouted.
"Sora get your ass over here NOW!"
The boy didn't seem fazed, he ignored the rampaging teen.
"Sora!" Riku shouted again with the same response.
Riku stomped over to the water and walked in.
"Riku! Be careful! He's not himself!" Kairi shouted after him.
Riku walked till he was five feet from the teen, fuming with anger. No one ignored him and made Kairi cry on his watch, not even his best friend. The other teen turned slowly to met the others eyes.
Sora was a little pale and his eyes dull and unemotional. He looked at him and smiled.
"What's wrong Riku? Don't like the way I talk with that bitch" Sora smirked
"Don't call her that Sora!"
"Oh right" The boy lifted his arms and shrugged while shaking his head. "Her highness is far to fragile for this, has to depend on her white haired savor"
"Sora! Shut up!" Riku started to grow really anger.
"Touché, what are you going to do?"
"This!" With so much speed Riku was next to Sora.
His fist connected with Sora stomach. Sora stumbled back holding the place where Riku hit him.
"Maybe that will get some sense into you!" Riku said smirking, but it vanished as soon as it came.
Sora had grown even paler. His eyes were filled with shock; he was holding his stomach with on hand and the other covering his mouth. He was shaking uncontrollably.
"S-sora you ok? I didn't"-
Sora made a small noise. He took a step back and made the sound again. Then to Riku's horror he bent down and threw up. Red began to spread in the water. Kairi screamed in horror. Riku paled as he remembered the reason why he came here.
Sora's POV
The coppery taste came back to his mouth as he stared at the red stain in the salt water. Large pain erupted in his stomach he let a small whimper escape him.
"S-sora Oh my god…Sora" Riku choked out.
"Hehe"
'You again, who are you?'
'Careless child'
"Shut up" Sora said aloud
'I can help you'
'I don't need help'
'If you say so…I'm here if you change you're mind'
'Thanks but no thanks'
'He's happy you're like this you know'
'Who?'
'You're friend'
'You're lying'
'Hehe I wish I was'
A hand gently touched his shoulder and he went rigid and jumped back. He looked up and saw Riku with a scared look on his face. Sora smirked and stood straight but he still held his stomach.
"Hehe, happy? Personal I didn't learn anything"
"S-sora I-I"
"Shut up!" Sora shouted at the shocked teen "I don't care!"
He summoned his Ultima Keyblade as he felt anger surge through him. He didn't notice that the blade was a little darker than the original. He crouched down and prepared to strike.
"I don't need you're pity!" Sora shouted and lunged.
Riku had enough time to summon and lift his blade to block the attack. Sora was pressing his weight on the blade. Riku's knees bent a little from his weight and he began to sweat. Sora saw he was holding back and smirked.
"Riku are you holding back? Don't!"
Sora pulled back and lunged for his side. Riku brought his blade and blocked, Sora aimed for his back but he also blocked that. Sora jumped back a healthy distance from his friend, but as soon as his feet touched to floor his stomach exploded in pain. His weapon disappeared and gripped his stomach. Once again he threw up, but instead of the pain stopping it intensified. Sora couldn't take it and the world began to dim. He heard one last thing before he blacked out.
"Hehe…Are you sure child? You look like you need help to me…Hehe"
