Whilst sora was walking kairi home.
Riku stepped out of his boat he could see the other two looking at him he headed straight away from the docks in a direction that wasn't going towards his house or in the direction they were going to be going. As he walked along the road he was deep in thought "how- how could I of seen him and heard him he's gone the blast from kingdom hearts took care of that… I'm sure of it… but why now why here" "All fine questions my young dark wielder" he froze okay he was definitely going mad his thoughts were answering his thoughts. He shook his head and started to head home "riku why are you ignoring me I know you can here me" the voice in his head finished with a chuckle "go away your gone you cant be talking to me" "oh poor, poor riku I was never gone just locked away for a while I've always been here in your heart listening waiting watching the darkness in your heart, it is quite impressive, I must say I underestimated you my dear boy" "what do you mean I thought the darkness was in my control" the voice laughed again this time a deep evil laugh "you know nothing boy the darkness can never be controlled it can be used but never totally controlled" "but how can I stay here if at any moment I can be consumed by the darkness again" riku said out load, laughing "you cant Hahaha" "shut up…" "You will lose control" "shut… up…" "And then you will destroy everything" "no I wont I wont do that that's not me" the islands… your family… friends… then this world" "no I wont" "you will plunge this world into darkness" "I WONT DO THAT" he screamed out load, "I'm not you" there was silence riku breathed a sigh of relief he realised he was outside of his house so walked towards the front door "you were once" the voice whispered inside his head a laugh trailing of into the back of his mind. The handle on the door twisted in his grip and he was pulled inside he lost his footing and landed flat on his face on the floor "I really hate today" he grumbled "wo kid you alright" Riku's dad said whilst he picked himself up of the floor "what were you doing dad" riku said "I was wandering what all the shouting was about" he said "did you hear it" "no" was Riku's answer he walked passed him into the kitchen to get something to eat his dad didn't say anything "dad I need to talk to you" riku said he to recounted the letter and told his dad that he had to go and just like Sora's mum he had had a letter to. Riku finished his sandwich turned to his dad and said "I'm going to the island there is something I want to check out" "okay" Lars replied "and son I'm proud of you, you've done amazing things and have grown up so much I know that your next journey will be another strange one but I know you'll be okay and this is how I can let you go plus sora'll need your help" they both laughed a short laugh and Lars reached forward and pulled him into a hug Lars let go and walked into the front room. Riku sighed turned and walked out of the front door and headed towards the docks Lars went to the fireplace and stood staring at a picture of himself riku about 4yrs old and Riku's mum she had the same beautiful long silver hair and innocent smile he sometimes had, more recently then before his adventures he picked the picture up "please watch over him" a warm feeling swelled on his chest he looked down and saw a faint light through his top he took out a chain with a pendent on it, it was a heart with a circle in the middle that looked like a shield with another heart in the middle of it but this heart had a line down the middle of it one side was white and the other was black on the back was an inscription two hearts become one it was a gift that Lars had given Riku's mother on there wedding day, with the faint glow he new that he had been heard and a tear trickled down his cheek. A knocking at the door snapped him out of his thoughts. He opened the door and sora was stood there.
