***********************************************************************
I sit in the room that used to be our guest room, and now is going to be Sora's room. Sora has woken up and has stayed awake, though he's strangely quiet... My mom told him about his mother's sudden death and well... He had been quiet ever since. That was earlier this day. I look up at him as he heave a heavy sigh.
He has tired eyes and he's pale of his fever, I can't help but to hurt for him and yearn to embrace him and make him smile again, but I don't. I just sit there, looking at him as he take a deep breath and look at me.
"I... I can't believe it... Riku, my mom..." he fall silent and start to cry. Good Sora! Let it all out, I'll keep you safe, I promise. I walk up to him and embrace him feeling his hands on my chest, clawing at my shirt as he cry harder against me. I feel tears gather in my eyes because of Sora, but I blink them away.
Suddenly a knock ring through the room and my mother with Dr Yoshikai, I slowly pull away from Sora as he dries away some tears from his eyes, sniffling softly.
"Good day, Sora-kun, Riku-kun..." the Doctor say absently as he hand my mother his coat. 'Good day', my ass. He turn back to us, looking at Sora with pity in his brown eyes. He, no doubt, knows of Sora's mom. "I am so sorry, Sora-kun... your loss must be really heard."
Sora doesn't answer only watch him silently. the doctor place a hand on my shoulder and I turn to him, he's smiling at me, I don't like that.
"Riku-kun, will you please leave me alone with Sora-kun. I would like that." I stare at him, I mean does he think I'm five or what? I know how Sora looks naked and all... Okay so I'm blushing. I nod and I follow my mother out through the door, but before I'm fully out I see Sora frown and look at me.
The door close with a slam and I can't help but to flinch. Sora... I turn around fast and determined, I can feel my fury boil in me because of the doctor. He won't be able to do anything anyway, Sora's not ill in the sense of bacteria and stuff, but rather of... of... whatever the darkness, my darkness, is doing to him.
"I'm going out!" I call and my mom appears in the kitchen doorway.
"How come, all of a sudden?" she ask and give me a look, I scowl at her and move my way to the door. "Because!" I cry and rush out on the porch, slamming the door shut behind me.
I'm breathing heavily, panting... Why am I letting it out on my mom..? I frown slightly and starts to walk down the street towards the beach. I won't go to the kid's island, just... walk on the beach here and think. I need to figure out Sora's demise and how I can help him.
I reach the beach and look out over the sea towards our island. The water's pink by the dying sun, setting to my right, and I can see Selphie and Kairi's boats coming this way. Well it is rather late... What will I tell /them/? 'Oh, hi guys, guess what? Sora's mom died so he's gonna live at my place. Oh and by the way, he might die because he took /my/ darkness into his own hart.' Oh yeah let's tell them! -_- Sarcasm is always so nice. STUPID ME!!
"Hey Riku! How's Sora!?" I hear Wakka by my side call suddenly, which make me jump about a mile... grr...
"He... um... You know, Sora's mom..." I swallow hard, "she died..." I say softly as I turn to him. His eyes widen and he looks really shocked. Slowly and gently he place a hand on my shoulder, squeezing gently.
"Damn... poor kid, first he never have a father, then you... you know, and now his mother." I flinch as he mentions me as a cause of Sora's pains but I know it's true... I know but... I hand my head and I can feel tears sting my eyes, /again/.
"Hey, it's done. You can't change it, only make it better, he did chose to search for you when he just could have given you up, ya?" oh thanks alot, I feel much better now! Damn dripping sarcasm... /I/ am the reason for one of his current pains.
"You look like hell, Riku. What's with Sora, really." He ask, suddenly serious. I lift my gaze and regard him with blazing anger. That anger yet again... why!?
"He's ill..." Because of me! "And his exhaustion has finally caught up with him... Sora... will be living at my place from now on." I tell Wakka silently. He's watching me strangely, we're almost as tall so I can look him in the eyes without having to look down on him. I notice how he's trying hard to keep a frown from his face by his twitching eyebrows. Can he figure out I'm lying?
"I... I'm really worried about him." I continue, his face softens a little. God I wish I could tell Wakka how I feel for Sora, so that someone knew, so I had someone to tell.
"Wakka..." I begin shakily as I look down again, I take a step away from him, because it makes me feel safer. "Do you know how I feel for Sora?" I ask and look up at him again. What meets my eyes isn't really what I'd expected. I'd expected him to judge me not having him grinning like a fool. Did he know!?
"Yes! I knew it!! Selphie will be so thrilled to hear that!" he cry suddenly, I only stare dumbfounded, he... he don't mind!?
"You... knew it!?" I ask him just as Selphie and Kairi reach shore. They both regard me with a 'What now' look in their eyes.
"Yup, Sel' and me had it figured out ever since before you guys, you know... became enemies, not that you're that now... anyway, and I know for a /fact/ that Sora's in love with /you/." The 'you' is poked into my chest as I stand there blinking and opening and closing my mouth, stupidly. Sora loves me..? Well that explains why he gave up his light for you, baka! A voice in the back of my mind tell me. Yeah... I guess it does.
"Hey, Riku!" Selphie cry and wave to me, she and Kairi come up to us. They look at me wide eyed, I must really be looking awful today. Kairi come up to me, her eyes still shining with anger.
"Where's Sora! What have you done to him!?" why is she angry with me? What have I done to her to make her so... Stupid question. Stupid! STUPID!!
"Hey calm down, Kairi. He's been through alot today... I'm sure Sora's just fine.! I hear Wakka answer for me, he's such a good friend. This is hard for me yes, because I /know/ it's my fault. The only reason I'm still here is because Sora gave up his light, and now my darkness is killing him!
"Sora's mom..." I hear my own voice say softly, I can't stop it. "...She's dead..." I tell the two girls and they stare at me, dumb-struck. Why do I feel so light headed all of a sudden?
"What, How!?" I hear them cry, and I can feel them grab my arm. I don't know why people do that, grabbing someone when they find out something awful.
"Accident... I don't really know. My mom told me." I answer and pull my arm away. I don't want them to touch me, ever again!
"But who will take care of him? He's only sixteen!!?" are you some sort of idiot, Kairi. Didn't you hear yourself there? He's /sixteen/. A grown boy, soon anyway... But still, she's right. Sora's to innocent and, well, stupid to take care of himself.
"Mom has taken him in, he'll stay at my place from now on." I say firmly, then turn around. I don't want to be here with them anymore. I want to see Sora... I'm sure the doctor's finished by now.
"I gotta go... See y'all around." I can't help but to wonder if I mean it or not... That I want to see them. All I ever do is hurt them.
"Yeah, see ya! Tell Sora we're sorry and that we'll come visit tomorrow." Selphie calls after me, and for some reason I feel my heart sink. They'll come to my house, so see Sora, to know I lied about him being fine... Damn it!
*****
When I come home I notice the 'wrong' feeling coming from everywhere. It worry me so I run into my friend's new room. What meets my eyes stuns me.
Sora is sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth. His arms cradling the... the Keyblade!? Has... Has he gone insane!?
"Sora!!" I call as I run up to him, grabbing his shoulders and shake him, violently. He shift his empty eyes to me, they're blank, without ant life. As if he's... gone.
"Riku..." He whisper suddenly, blinking rapidly then look back up at me again. The spark of life back into his eyes. "They're coming!!" he cry and stand up shakily. What... What's coming? I turn around and see nothing. There's nothing here!
"Sora the..." I begin as I turn back to him, the look of pure... evil... on Sora's face, silencing me. What the hell!?
"Do you think that Darkness is overcome so easily?" his voice! It's so strange... as if he's speaking with two voices... Two male voices... One very dark... I slowly back away from him as he look at me strangely. What's going on?
"He took in your Darkness into his heart but he /never/ gave you light! Because you were his Darkness." Wha... 'his' who the hell is speaking? Who the he-!!
"Gha!! Sora!?" I cry as he rise the Keyblade at me, as if to attack... my Keyblade's to weak to fight his! Ultima Weapon is scary...
I see the blade fall towards me, it's gonna hit me, hurt me, perhaps even kill me!!
PAIN!
Then darkness...
To Be Continued...
Now what the hell did I just write there!? This were /not/ supposed to take this turn... But now that I think of it... I just might keep this green/blue Evil-Plot-Bunny *pets EPB on its head* KAWAII!! *thinks of scary Honey-Bunny-vending machine* Ghe! Anyway this chapter was short but it just seemed fit to stop there ^^. *smiles evilly* Okay, 'Spirited Away' just popped into my head... Chihiro x Haku 4-ever ^^! R&R please dear readers, thank you!!
