Prologue- Author's Notes:
~~So I'm getting addicted to Kingdom Hearts. What better way to show how much I'm loving this game by writing a fanfiction, right? Yeah, I guess so. Anyways, I'm really starting to like Riku, and therefore, this will be a Riku-centered fic. It takes place mainly right after Sora kicks his ass at Hallow Bastion, and will go right into an original story, with original characters. I hope you like it, since this is my first fanfic. And, on with the show:
((disclaimerdisclaimerdisclaimerdisclaimerdisclaimer))~~
The power felt great. It was like a drug that was being produced from his heart, pushing through his veins to every part of his body. Especially to his brain. There were times when he felt like he was on top of the world. Other times...other times he just sat back and wondered just what the hell he was doing. Riku knew he was just doing his best to save Kairi, though nothing he could do matched what Sora was doing. The perfect little Keyblade master. Stupid thing. How could something so pathetic cause so much trouble? No one had even heard of the Heartless until she came along. It took what little control Riku had left to keep from giving that bitch the beat down she deserved.
Of course, that's exactly what had happened. Maleficent was giving him another one of those 'Be careful not to lose your heart to the Heartless Riku...your power...blah blah blah...someday you'll beat him...save Kairi...blah blah blah.' He kept trying to fight, but when Sora kept plowing ahead, even when Riku sent the nastiest stuff at him...it was just starting wearing away at his resolve. He knew deep down that it would be Sora who ended up with Kairi. That's the way these things always went. Evil guy likes girl, fights with good guy over girl, girl chooses good guy, and evil guy gets screwed up the ass.
So Riku did the stupidest thing he could have ever done. He took it out on that evil witch. She was doing that thing with the spreading of the hands, raising of the staff, and the dramatic exit into the shadows bit. But he was quicker. In an instant he was behind her, his sword raised in an attack stance, ready to strike.
"Riku, child, I have no time for games." She said in that grating monotone voice of hers.
"This is no game." He replied, his eyes narrowing. Another drug flowed through his veins; hatred. It was this stupid witch who got him into this mess. Kairi would have been fine if she hadn't been on this suicidal mission to open the Door. A door that she would never open, even with his full cooperation. Kairi had been hurt for nothing. Riku might have had a chance with her if this stupid bitch had just kept to her brooding tower, but no. Nothing ever worked out to his advantage. Now he was worse off than before. Too bad he didn't go along with Sora in the first place. Things might have been different.
"You're not thinking of attacking me, are you dear?" she asked, her voice laced with venom and a side dish of honey.
"No, of course not. I'm just going to stand here and imagine your blood flowing from your body, onto my hands, and pooling on the floor because I have no better way to spend my time." Riku answered dangerously. That retort hit her hard, because her eyes glowed red with anger, and she seemed to grow another three feet in height.
"You dare challenge me, Riku?"
"Yes you stupid bitch. I want you dead. You've just been using me for your own hopeless gains. You've done NOTHING to help Kairi. So I'll help her by getting rid of you." He replied, getting tired of all the talking. So he rudely ended the conversation by jumping straight into the air, preparing himself to come right down on her head, splitting her brains in two, and if he was lucky, maybe even halving her entire body. But something went very wrong. He somehow managed to stay in the air, frozen in time, never feeling the satisfaction of watching the stupid evil bitch's death.
"That was a very bad voice, child." Maleficent said in her matter-of-fact tone. She circled around him once, looking him over, as if trying to peer into the heart that she didn't have. "I can't keep untrustworthy people around. I would never get anything done if I were to do that. I'm sorry Riku, I really am. I had great plans for you, that would have lead to you having Kairi in your arms. But you leave me no choice now."
The orb at the end of her staff starting glowing a radiant purple, pulsating and expanding every few seconds, drawing closer and closer to him.
"Every choice has its repercussions, Riku. Both good and bad could end up harming you in the end. I had hoped to teach you how to distinguish these consequences, but I suppose I failed. May you learn on your own, then, since there will be no one to help you."
The last few words she said were hard to make out, since the purple orb had now surrounded him, squeezing the very life from his body. Riku gasped for breath, but none came.
Only the sweet release of darkness. Darkness has always been a friend.
In that darkness, I thought I heard someone calling to me.
I never paid much attention to those disembodied voices.
I will sleep.
End of Prologue- Author's Notes:
~~Yes, there is more to come. I'm still kinda sketchy on where I'll be going with this, but I hope to get it going pretty soon. I'll try to get another chapter up tomorrow, if the mood strikes. I hope you enjoyed your little trip into my mind. Please R/R if you plan on staying. ^^~~
