Requiem-Barely anybody reads this but screw it! I WILL finish my precious, 5-shot, Rikai short story! I WILL!
Okay, let me clarify that this isn't an olden time AU. Even if it's setting is a lot like it, the story isn't that type of AU. It's just an alternate setting that I wanted to try out. Yeah, nobody has asked me that, but I wanted to say that before the questions come. It's a weird AU but whatever.

As Kairi closed her eyes, she realized that she was yet again in one of dreams. When she saw her other self, Kairi was still horrified by her shiny, yellow eyes. She was so used to her blue ones anyways.
"Roxas, I came here to end you!" the other Kairi yelled, blood-thirst in her usually innocent voice. The other person there, a blonde with blue eyes, shivered, still having his back turned from the girl.
"I know that Xehanort is using you. Trust me, Xemnas used me, and I can't bare to see you fall into his trap as well. Just because I love you, Kairi, doesn't mean I killed Riku! I'm being set up."
"Well, then face me!" When Roxas listened to Kairi's demand, he became more horrified. The yellow eyes of his opponent burned his soul. Then Kairi, not taking any chances, placed her weirdly shaped weapon to the young blonde's neck.
"We're too late to save you," Roxas sighed. "Then I know what has to be done. I'm sorry." To counter his foe's move, Roxas summoned two of the same type of weapons. With a smile, Kairi moved her sword away from his neck.
"Do you really want to do this, Roxas? I will kill you before you can even blink."
"If Xehanort already has a hold over you, then I can do nothing else." Letting out a single tear, Roxas lunged at Kairi. The girl huffed as she stepped backwards to avoid the incoming attack.
"I expected more from somebody that's Sora Nobody. Are you holding back because I'm a girl?" the redhead smirked. She swung her blade at her enemy, but he parried it with his white blade.
"...No, I had to defeat a woman I loved before this. Xion..."
"Xehanort?" Kairi said to herself as she noticed she was once again in Riku's bed. It had only been a day since she ran away from home, yet Kairi already missed it. .
"Well, looks like somebody likes to get their beauty sleep," Riku replied. "Do you know how late it is? I know you were stressed and all, but I didn't expect that."
"Excuse me, running away from a castle is harder than it sounds." Rubbing her eyes, Kairi let out a big yawn. Even though she just was asleep, she desired to get some more.
"Well, I was kicked out of my home, does that count? You know, darkness isn't as bad as they say it is. They should just stop labeling us as witches, warlocks, and demons, and just let us live how we want to." Riku placed himself back onto the bed. He laid back, and the white-haired man looked up at the ceiling, looking at all the different patterns on it.
"You already said the same thing thousands of times before." Kairi moved closer to him and went on her back as well. "What's so exciting about this wall anyways?"
"Nothing really, it's just relaxing to look at it every once in a while," answered the prince. He sighed while getting back up. When he was up on his feet again, there was a knock on Riku's door.
"Should I hide?" questioned Kairi.
"Yes, just to be safe. You should stay in here because it's far away from the door." Riku then left the bedroom, not saying another word. He closed the door silently. With nothing else to do, Kairi decided to go to sleep again. Those nightmares were scary though...
Laughing, the other Kairi held onto the head of Roxas. Blood was surrounding her feet, but the girl did not care. She had her revenge on Riku's murder.
"Ha ha ha! That's what you get for messing with me." Kairi threw the blonde's head onto the ground, letting it become dirty with blood. "Serves you right to go to Hell, the place you deserve!" The redhead stomped on Roxas's head with a giant grin on her face. His face was completely destroyed.
"You did well." Afterwards, an old man appeared out of a portal made of darkness. "I never thought a being of pure light would make a good vessel, but I was wrong. It seems like the worlds just like proving me wrong nowadays."
"Yes, Xehanort, I did the onus you assigned me," responded Kairi, whipping some of the blood off her cheek. It was on her slender fingers, but that was better than right on her pale face.
"And you performed well." He smirked. With Kairi by his side, both of them walked into a new corridor of darkness together.
Scared, Kairi rushed out of Riku's bedroom, knowing that was not the greatest idea, and into the front room.
"I've no idea where the princess is. Why are you asking me so many questions?" Riku asked. There was a man with a black coat in front of Riku, just outside his house. When Kairi entered the room, both of them looked at her.
"What are you thinking, Maria? You shouldn't be out of our bed because you're sick." Sweat poured down Riku's face.
"Oh, I just thought I would check up on you, that's all." The mysterious man did not look convinced, and the look of worry spread across the two star-crossed lovers' faces. Through what they could see of his face, the figure was smiling.
"We've to go now." Riku tried to close the door, but the man grabbed onto it. "Sir, you're not welcomed here, so I advise you to leave my house at once. Or Maria and I will have to force you out." The man stayed. The white-haired boy's eyebrows went up.
"I'll some questions to ask," the man said.
"You already asked me to much goddamn questions? Why won't you respect my wishes and just leave?" Riku's voice was harsher now, more demanding. Kairi wanted to retreat, but something about this made her intrigued. Her curious nature would not let the young adult go.
"Watch your mouth, it might get you killed someday."
"Says the one that's not leaving a house when somebody wants you to. If you want to keep your ass, leave."
"Riku, baby, just calm down," Kairi advised. She started to walk up to him, but her lover's glares told her not to.
"Maria, just go back into the room, I can take care of this." Not listening to her beloved, Kairi only returned to the door. Because of his hatred of the stranger, Riku did not seem to notice anything.
"Just don't do anything stupid," whispered the redhead. She was slightly shaking from the nightmare, but Kairi kept telling herself that it was not real in the slightest. Her eyes were still blue after all.
"Listen to your wife. Like your mouth, the temper of yours is also going to get you killed," the man advised. He still would not back away from the couple's house.
"Leave and I won't do anything-" Before Riku could finish his sentence, the man pulled out a knife from his pocket and stabbed him in the stomach. Falling down, Riku's midsection slowly was consumed by blood. Everybody on the streets gasped as the man quickly ran away.
"RIKU!" Kairi, tears in her blue eyes, hurried over to him. She checked his pulse, and nothing was there. "Riku, Riku, Riku!" Kairi pulled his body to her chest and let out a big scream.
"Somebody, get the police!" out of the bystanders demanded.
"No, there's no way this can be happening! Riku!" cried the redhead. She shook his body, but there was no response. "Come on, this has to be some kind of joke! It has to be! You're going to just get up!" No response. Kairi let out another scream, for her...her beloved...
Her beloved was dead.
