Chapter 5:Crimson Tears, Dieing Darkness
Riku was flouting in a white void, when a elegant girl in a long blue dress walked quietly over to him. She had long blond hair which fell a little past her shoulders, and a pair of soft blue eyes, which stood out against her pale skin. Her quiet voice called out to him.
"I have a way to help your friend and free his spirit ..."
" How" Riku asked, urgency in his voice.
" This...it's a heart flute use it " hands him a fairly sized wooded flute.
"The what!" Riku said, eyes wide.
"The heart flute I, the Kindred spirit, give it to you, the heart who cares for the keyblade wielder most..."
"Why didn't you give it to me earlier! " Riku yelled.
"Because you are the only one who can bright it back after I awaken it ... I have to sacrifice me spirit to bright it to life, " She said glowing softly, suddenly she burst into thousands of tiny lights and swirled around Riku and into the flute.
"So, I can bring him back!" Riku said excitedly.
" Yes you can. . WAKE UP!"
+++
Shadow Sora stood in front of Kairi grinning evilly, he reached out a clawed hand to touch her face, but with drew his hand as if burned.
"The spirit of Sora still protects you..." he said thoughtfully. "You must be special to him.."
Kairi started to back away from the Shadow, but never turned her back to him." Monster...." she whispered.
The Shadow Sora's dog ears twitched and he smirked," Why thank you, Miss"
Kairi continued to back away, not noticing she backing towards a cliff. "Y- y-you heard me?"
The Shadow Sora began to walk over to her, every two steps she took he'd take one. "Of course I have extremely good hearing, I can catch anything you say, and hear every word you whisper." The Shadow Sora quicken his pace and for every step she took he'd take one too. Keeping the distance between them to about seven feet.
Kairi shuttered ' Riku...PLEASE wake up!!' she thought, fear running though her veins.
+++
Riku's eyes slowly opened, the heart flute glowing in his right gloved hand. "where..?" Riku started to say, but a movement caught his eye and stopped. A pearly white Sora stood a few away from him.
"You've finally awaken huh?" The Ghost say with a stupid grin on his face, " You better hurry my times running out..."
" Where's the Shadow?" Riku asked standing up, flute griped tightly in his hand.
" I'm show you" the Ghost said flouting, backwards.
Riku got the hint and quickly followed, sprinting so he could keep him in sight. The Ghost lead him to a cliff where Riku saw Kairi backing towards the edge of the cliff, with the Shadow walking towards her, grinning evilly all the way. The shadow Sora stopped and pulled out the Keyblade and started hitting it to the ground with incredible force, cracking it. Suddenly the ghost began to disappear, he gave Riku a sad smile.
" I said my time was almost up...Riku...."
Riku looked at him, on the brink of tears," I understand." He managed to say in a steady voice.
"Save Kairi for me... Be the hero today", The ghost said tears streaming down his face.
Riku choked back the tears threatening to fall, nodded and ran to the cliff as Sora's spirit began to disappear more and more with every hit.
"What are you doing!!" Kairi yelled as she watched the keyblade began to crack more.
" Making sure I'll never be bothered by the Spirit of Sora again!" the Shadow yelled to Kairi. "so he won't keep me from attacking you and Riku!"
"But..." Kairi said softly. " you were able to knock Riku out."
" You do not know the pain it caused to do that ?" the Shadow Sora said shuttered slightly.
Riku appeared a few feet away from the shadow in a defensive position. 'Sora has been protecting us the entire time..' Riku thought still fighting the falling tears.
"RIKU!" Kairi said in shock.
"Yeah I'm here , and I'm going to stop you Shadow!"
A slight smile appeared on The Shadow's face he stood strait, no longer striking the keyblade to the ground. "And how may I ask will you accomplish that! "
" With this!" Riku said bring the flute to his mouth, he began to blow a few notes into the wooden interment.(a/n just for kicks pretend its "Simple and Clean" I'M ODDESETED WITH THAT SONG! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
The Shadow's eyes widened in shock, he ran over to Riku and through him towards the woods, but Riku didn't stop playing, he regained his footing and continued to play the melody. A soft balls of light admitted from the flute and flowed towards the Shadow. In one swift movement the Shadow grabbed Kairi by her neck and held her over the cliff. (Kairi haters: YAY!!)
"If you don't stop playing I'll drop her!" The Shadow hissed threateningly.
"Keep......play..ing...Riku...." Kairi said gasping for breathe, "If.... that.......will....save.....Sora.......don't......stop."
Riku nodded solemnly and kept the song going, unknowingly the tears he had been fighting were falling freely, but they didn't disrupt the melody. (how many times have I said that?)
"You would sacrifice the life of one to bring back the soul of one already gone?" The shadow said wide-eyed, "what a FOOL you are!"
"Is he....." the kindred spirit's voice rang. " Is he wrong to stop that of darkness, by bring the light back...."
The Shadow's eyes narrowed, "YOU ARE ALL FOOLS YOU THINK A SIMPLE FLUTE WILL STOP THE SPIRIT OF SHADOWS!!!!!"
"no.......it is no the flute" her voice rang "it is the bond between to friends that will stop you.."
At those words the Shadow began to feel incredible pain coursing through the body he had stolen. "THIS CAN NOT BE!!!"
Surprisingly Kairi had remain conscious through all of this and was desperately clawing the hands around her neck.
"YOU CAN'T WIN!!" the shadow screamed, closed his eyes and red streaks fell from his eyes.
' Is he crying,' Kairi thought, suddenly the grip around her neck loosened, and the stopped all together. Kairi fell a few feet until she suddenly stopped. Someone had grabbed her arm sot that she wouldn't plummet into the cliffs.
She looked up and gasped. Sora, the old spiky brown-headed boy she cared about, was looking down at her grinning, he had one hand around her wrist and the other clinging to the ledge of the cliff. His clothes had gone back to normal along with his hair and eyes, and the cat ears, nails and fangs were gone, but the red streaks were still visible on his face. "hey.." he said causally.
"Sora.." she said breathlessly, "you're back..."
Sora smiled again , but Kairi could see pain in his eyes, holding both of them up was hurting his arms extremely badly. His grip on the cliff slipped and he and Kairi fell a few feet again before caught again. This time Sora looked up it see the silver-haired boy grasping his free hand.
"Glad to see your back....." Riku said, grinning cockily.
Sora grinned back " Glad to be.....but you don't know how to save people."
Riku's eyes widened with shock, "What!"
Sora's grin increased, " You pull people up THEN talk."
Riku held back a laugh and pulled Sora and Kairi back up. After all of them were safely on the cliff, they flopped on their backs breathing heavily.
" That was SOO scary!" Kairi said in between gasps.
Riku nodded, " I'll say..."
Sora hadn't said anything in along time...for him anyway. Sora's eyes fluttered a bit before they closed ,and his chest stopped rising.
"Hey Sora can we talk now?" Riku asked sitting up looking at his friend.
"....Sora? Sora wake up!"
Riku quickly shook Sora trying to rouse him. Then he noticed Sora wasn't breathing.
"Kairi! Sora's not breathing!!"
"What!" She said quickly looking at them.
The heart flute, which lay a few feet away from them began to glow and the Kindred spirit appeared again. She looked more sad then Riku remembered.
"What's wrong with him!" Riku demanded. " I thought I saved him!"
"You were close.... he almost didn't make it.... he is like this because his keyblade is so badly damaged" The keyblade suddenly appeared in her hands, and to Riku's and Kairi's horror the keyblade had thousands upon thousands of crakes in it.
"Is there a way we can safe him ...."
The Kindred spirit lowered her head and shook her head, " No.... there is no way for you to save him..... only he can...." The spirit laid the damaged keyblade onto the ground and placed a simmering hand upon Sora's chest, which suddenly began to rise again. "His body will remain alive if his spirit wins the fight against the shadow...."
Riku stared at her in shock. " but I thought I got rid of him!"
She gave him a sad smile, " You forced the shadow out of his body, it would be a fair fight.... when Sora wins the keyblade will repair itself.... "
"but what if he loses..." Kairi asked in a small voice.
"Have faith..... believe he will win and he will.... he always gains strength when you have faith...."
The spirit disappeared once again in to the flute the melody playing softly through the wind.....
