Dyslexia: Yo peeps. Another chappie. W007! By the way. I don't think Kowai Sumaranai is going to appear in this chapter either… Oh well. Some Riku ass kicking in this chapter. Also. If you'd like to know how I do this 'bitchin'' Angsty as my friend called it: Stabbing Westward and Cradle of Filth. Download their music. It's a bit gothic and angsty and if you think Linkin Park is bad don't EVEN look at it. The lyrics and the music blended into one screams apathy. Yae.


Disclaimer: See last chapter.

He made a clicking noise with his tongue to show his boredom. Nothing had moved in the still of night since he stormed up onto his building top to sit alone and ponder. The shingles creaked under his lithe weight, showing their age. And to Sora it seemed like only yesterday he was screwing around with Donald and Goofy, being ignorant and naïve to the worlds out there. He let the smoke flow out from his body and disappear into the chilly air. Snow caked the ground with atleast a foot of it's cold wintery chill.

Sora flinched, the wind had stopped howling and crashing against his already frozen form and everything was mute. His white triangular cat ears either black markings were flicking in every which direction, seeking out any noise. None. Everything was quiet. He shivered, this world wasn't that quiet. Not even at four in the morning.

"Hello…" A cold, low and deep, melodic voice flowed into his hyper-sensitive ears and he jumps up as he felt hot breath on his neck. He'd had his fair share of vampires in his weakly lived life.

"Riii….hee..ku!" Sora gasped and leaned forward but didn't rush up to meet his friend. Something in the silver haired boy told him Riku wasn't here to get 'reacquainted' with his childhood friend. Sora cocked his head, he didn't know when was the last time he was so happy. It really *was* nice to see him.

"Die." Riku, his beloved friend, unsheathed a wicked katana, dried blood caking it with what seemed to be black blood. Sora gasped and barely was able to jump backwards from the onslaught and brought forth his own weapon; a magical sword with Japanese inscriptions on the blade without a hilt. Riku lashed out again and Sora parried the attack and leapt over to his right, while Riku dashed over to Sora's left, attempting to catch him off guard and get in a good attack. Which went fairly well. Sora leaned over, double backed, clutching his sword. His face had just met Riku's leather clad foot and his stomach met his fearsome blade.

"Why!?" Sora screamed and jumped backwards with cat-like agility holding his sword down by at his side, refusing to fight his friend. When Riku gave no answer he became irritable. The aqua eyed boy eyed him with a look of interest and…. Lust? Sora took a step back and Riku took one forward. A demonic grin spread like wild-fire over the attackers face and Sora frowned, trying to keep his act together because one false move and he would lose a limb to this skilled fighter.

"Why are you doing this!?" Sora growled and Riku looked up at Sora and his roof-top perch. He lifted his left hand up, and out-stretched it for the brunette to grab.

"Come." Riku's eyed burned with determination and that eerie lust. Sora gulped and jumped down from the buildings safety. Landing feet from Riku he stared at the offered hand. The thought of taking it rolling all around his mind.

"Ri…ku…" Sora sighed softly and closed his eyes. He needed to think; what would it cost him to join up with his best friend. What price would he pay. And then something inside him snapped. Riku, the Guardian of the Paopu Island, was NOT in fact standing in front of him. It was his feared foe; Ansem. With a strangled yell he lasted out with his sword, the inscriptions glowing a deep azure color which was soon covered with a deep crimson red fluid.

"Give me back my Riku!" The counter-part laughed and darkness crept up his body and quickly devoured it before Sora even had the chance of attacking Ansem again. Cackling filled the air. Ansem's cackling.

And for the first time since he locked Riku away in Kingdom Hearts and had lost Kairi, he cried. Fresh tears streamed down his cheeks as he fell down to his knees, he bloodied sword fell to the floor with a clang and the tears continued to stream down the brunettes face. His Riku was gone.. Kairi.. What would Kairi think of him? Possibly she'd think of him as a lowly beggar as well. His tears choked back in his throat before he placed both hands down on the snowy ground, his tears flying freely without restrictions and his sobbing uncontrollable.

"Oh god… oh god.. Ri-hee…ku… Kai---ree…" He made another unidentifiable noise from the back of his throat and hiccupped. His tears ceased to stop since he had no more to shed. Rubbing his face he slouched back on his shins and sat in the snow staring.. Or more like, glaring at the moon and the bright shining stars, smiling down on him. The worlds we all in good order which was a good sigh. Slowly Sora reached out to grab a star in the sky, more silent tears flowing down his cheek as he made the decision that he'd search for Riku and drag him back home, to their home, on Destiny Islands. With Kairi. And his mom as well as Riku's mom.

With this new light he stood, rubbed the last of his tears away and picked up his sword, and sheathing it before leaving. Heading to the World Gate. Ready for this new quest that had been just laid at his feet. Fate and Destiny could have another stab at him.

Dyslexia: Wow. Good chapter. Please R&R. Kowai will turn up soon as well as Ansem and the *real* Riku. And dun dun dun! Sora's double! O_O; and it's not Anti-Sora! It's a human…. o_O suspenseful, ne~?

Dyslexia: By the way; to clear up some confusion he IS a cat-boy and he's a half vampire. Not explaining it here because it ties into the story and Riku later on. Teehee. Oh! AND THIS IS NOT YAOI! I AM a Yaoi writer but there is no Riku/Sora propaganda here. Nor any other Yaoi/shounen-ai. I don't think there's any type of coupling in this story. Though… Sora should stop referring to Riku as 'His Riku' o_O.
