Cloud cursed, grabbing Leon's shoulder as the younger man nearly fell over, keeping him from hitting the ground.
"Stupid Leonharts. You need to learn how to sleep!"
But they can also hurt people.
Christie clenched her fists, brown eyes staring into Riku's now orange irises.
"Dammit Ri! Why didn't you wait?! Had you waited 5 minutes!" Riku shook his head, backing into a dark portal.
"I'm sorry." Christie didn't say anything, too busy trying to keep her tears from spilling.
"Why didn't you wait..."

Leon winced, standing back to back with his sister as Heartless threatened to overwhelm them.

"One, but you won't like it." Leon smirked.
"Then let's go for it."

One, two, three pairs of feet on the cold tile, two pairs of skidding knees, the final pair stopping close to the one who's not moving, but no breath sounds from his nose or mouth. The other person isn't getting a pulse, and chokes back her sobs as she tries to revive him.
"Damn it Silver, don't you dare do this to me!" One, two, three, four, five tries, nothing works. The Princess cries into her Knights arm, the Artist crying silently as the Dark Knight embraces her from behind. The Pheonix only shakes his head, theres nothing that can be done. Even as she sobs her heart out, the girl dosen't stop trying to bring him back.
"RIKU!"
Fate bonded us together, and it tore us apart.
