"Riku!" Sora shouted.
"Yes?" he replied. He was wearing a dark cloak with the hood up and he kept his hands in his pockets. Sora ran up to Riku and tried to hug him, but Riku moved out of the way. Sora turned around so he could see his old friend.
"You're back! What took you so long!"
"What? You didn't like my homecoming gift? I figured snow on an island would be a nice present!"
"Snow? What's snow?"
"The white stuff that came from the sky. I saw it in one of the first worlds I went to." Riku gave a sadistic laugh. "You like it?"
"Yeah! It's fun!" Sora placed his face a few inches away from Riku's. "Hey Riku, why are you wearing an organization cloak?"
"I would tell you, but I must be leaving now." Riku opened up a portal of darkness behind him.
""But Riku! You just got back here!" Riku gave a ear to ear grin to Sora.
"Till we meet again!" He stepped through it. "Was that really Riku?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah. I could tell. I'm completely sure that is Riku! I know that stance!"
"I wasn't asking about the body…I mean the soul. Was it Riku's? He seemed so much darker." Sora looked at Kairi with a perplexed face.
"Of course it was! Who else could it be?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's not him, but me. I just haven't been thinking straight lately."
"I know. Neither have I." The two walked off to their houses, hand in hand.
Sora was running down an outstretched, rocky path. He tripped and sliced his arm open. There was no time to heal it though.Time was running out. He pushed himself even harder through the narrow and dark valley. He finally saw the cliff at the end. He abruptly stopped himself from running off. He scurried to the ground and looked down into the dark abyss. There hanging on the cliff was Riku in a black cloak, crying out for help to Sora. Sora, no longer held back by fear, threw his hand out to help Riku up. Riku's hand grabbed Sora's wrist. Riku pulled his face in front of Sora's and pulled back the hood to reveal a sliced and ravished face. He put his mouth next to Sora's ear and whispered four words, "You swore to die." Riku threw Sora into the dark abyss.
Sora opened his eyes screaming. He was covered in sweat. "It was a nightmare! Just a nightmare!"
"Or was it?" Sora shifted his head to the voice.
"Riku! What are you doing here?"
"I heard you screaming. I came to check up on you." The images from the dream still burned in Sora's memory.
"Is that the only reason?" Sora was beginning to worry.
"Yeah." Riku's reply made Sora feel more relaxed. "Except…" Riku came up to Sora and punched him in the face, instantly knocking him out. "…that."
