Sora...
Riku used his hearing to pinpoint where the duck was standing. Then he grabbed it, shaking it violently causing some feathers to fly. "Where is he?!" He shouted, not caring how he acted as long as he got to talk to Sora again.
He heard Donald screech unevenly as he shook him. Mickey then tried desperately to pull Riku away from his court wizard yelling, "Riku! Stop it!"
After a few minutes he regained his control and let go of the duck. Grumbling in anger, he walked a few footsteps away from the three and sat down on the soft grass. What had come over him? Normally he wouldn't have acted so...violent. Perhaps, he thought, it was just the feeling of impatience. Or perhaps maybe being in Kingdom Hearts for too long had done something do his mind. Riku didn't really care as he eavesdropped on the trio's conversation.
"Sorry about that guys." He heard Mickey say in an apologetic tone.
The duck hmphed, "He's crazy!" Donald whispered, not knowing that his hearing was better than that.
"I think he's just sad." The deep, dumb voice said. Riku was irritated by this...thing, whatever it was.
"I agree with Goofy." Mickey's voice said again. "I'll get him a room in the castle, he'll stay with us for a while."
Riku tensed as Mickey's hand then touched his shoulder, and told him to stand up. He did so quietly, realizing which world they were in now. They were in the world in which Mickey's castle rested. Riku had never seen his castle, and there wasn't a very high chance he would ever. However, here he had his only chance to see Sora, if it was true that the wizard and the knight had found him. But what did they mean they 'found' him? Had Sora's whereabouts really been isolated from Donald, Goofy, AND Mickey? It was even possible to evade Mickey's eyes.
`He's not the same, ` the voice told him repeatedly. `He's different. He'll push you away. `
`No he won't, ` he silently responded back. But then again, deep down, Riku was doubtful Sora would greet him as a friend. After all the completely insane things he did in the past...would Sora forgive him?
A change of floor material came suddenly as they walked. One second he was stepping and crushing grass, and next - he was causing an echo in empty halls as he walked across hard tile.
Unlike the times Mickey had lead him, this time they walked in a straight line for ages. Riku started to wonder if this really was a really long hall, or he just didn't notice if they turned or not.
Suddenly Mickey stopped and Riku came to the conclusion they had reached his 'room.' The creak of a door was heard, as Mickey lead him into the room. Just by the feeling of it he could tell it probably was quite big. The mouse king went over some brief explanations of the room. The bed was about 20 footsteps away and in front of the door; the window was left to that, and the desk opposite. Then he left, shutting the door quietly behind him.
Riku sighed and sat down on the bed. The covers and the mattress were soft, making him unable to resist the urge to lie down. Riku rested his head upon the feather pillow, thinking about how far he had gotten. It was probably getting dark now, because he shivered from the cold. Muttering a few things to himself he sat up again and stood at the bedside. With much ease he shed his purple belt-hanging pants and his shoes. He would have to ask Mickey for new clothes soon.
He then climbed under the bed covers, savoring the gratifying warmth they gave. As he laid his head upon the pillow again, he felt uncomfortable. It took him a few moments to figure it out. Of course! The blindfold! Sitting up irritably, he messed with the knot at the back of his head until he could finally slip it off. Blinking a few times and setting the blindfold on the small table beside the bed - he looked around the room.
It looked exactly as he sensed it. There were no candles in the room. His bed was covered in black sheets and had opened navy blue curtains, which he now closed. There was, however, a window that emitted the bright moonlight into the room. It stung his eyes as they passed over the moonlight on the floor, so he closed his eyes and leaned back down.
Very little time passed until he finally fell asleep. A long deserved sleep. If only Sora was right here...next to him...

Shorter than 'Kairi' I know, but I lost my muse in the middle of it! O_O I found it again, luckily. Evil cat. -_- Anyways, I know I'm torturing you all with no Sora! :-P don't worry, I'll have some yaoi/shounen-ai in here. Soon. I hope. I should tell you now I'm not especially good at writing those really remarkable detailed ones, so don't expect to read something like what the great Goddess Uzumaki writes! ;-) *Teases*
