Dyslexia: Oh. My. God. I is writing. Pfft. Truly, the only reason I'm writing is because 1. I've beaten .hack//INFECTION. 2. I'm stuck in my other games. And 3. Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2 is giving me some funky inspiration. X.x

Tsukasa: Yay. I'm in .hack//POLUTION.

Chibi Cloud: Get the HELL out of our section!

Tsukasa: ….Make me.
Dyslexia: *holds up a BIG black box* No violence for you all! Nyaah! Anyways, onto the third installment of "Legends o' Night an' Day".

"Blllleeech! What in Ea's (1) name is this!?" Sora looked up at the disgusted silver-haired boy. Kairi laughed at him and shook her head, her smile was invisible under the mask she wore but you /KNEW/ she was smiling.

"It's called Klah (2). And it's a drink made o' tree bark, it's-"

"No shit. It TASTES like tree bark." Sora raised his eyebrow, and had an easily read expression on his face, saying 'If-you're-too-good-to-drink-it,-go-without.' Riku snorted and continued sipping the drink, annoyed. Kairi, stilling smiling, wrapped both hands around the steaming cut of cinnamon tree-bark tea while watching Riku, whom was fuming, and Sora who was bent over a pot of something over a fire. Since that day they saw him practicing, he hadn't used any magic, doing everything by hand. Kairi wondered if it was because of Riku's jealously, or her own amazement.

"The porridge is done." The brunette stated. Great, Kairi thought, Sora was already in a gloomy mood. For the past four days Sora had been gloomy, with no thanks to Riku. They all ate in silence, Riku who occasionally lifted his head up to look at Sora was done with being an ass for the morning it appeared. But Sora's mood didn't lift. After the threesome had cleaned and put their temporary dishes back into their packs, they headed off in the predawn.
Kairi cried out and grabbed Riku's hand then dashed into the clearing panting heavily. The last few hours had been a blur for the travelers.
*Flashback*

/"It doesn't seem right here…" Sora nodded in agreement and Riku huffed.

"This is the way, right?" The silver-haired one asked.

"Yes, it is" Replied the brunette.

"Then, let's go."

*End Flashback*
Now, neither her nor Riku knew where Sora was or how to get out. For the last hour that had been playing a game of chase and hide, praying that Sora was alright where-ever he was.

"Kairi! We've got to find a place to hide!" Kairi knew this very well and dived into a bush off the side of the road, dragging Riku with her. The two of them ducked down low and waiting under the shrills and screams of the "demons" trotted away.
*Flashback*

"Meh. They're just Larikkii (3), they are harmless shadow dragons. Tho.. They are a bit too playful."

"Kairi! Watch out!"

*End Flashback*
Riku shivered as he drew his tattered cloak around his leather clad (Oh God. You KNOW Riku would be sexier in leather. XD) shoulders closer.

"Riku.. I'm worried about Sora.." Riku nodded his head hastily in agreement, they had no idea as to where the sorcerer was. Kairi shifted over closer to Riku and cuddled next to him. Nights weren't usually so cold and it was only in the middle of summer, during some of the hottest days and nights. Slowly the two of them fell into an uneasy sleep, dreaming of large shadow dragons and blood with the smell of magic in their dream's air.
The sunlight peeked through the tree's leaves, caressing the two childhood friends faces, rousing them from sleep. The wind blew lightly, ruffling their hair as the two sat up, rubbed the sleeping sand from their eyes and stretched their arms to the sky. The light fluffy white cumulus clouds danced in the light blue sky, showing off their silky-looking wisps of condensed water. The two moons, Galderial (4) and Blamous (5), stood beside each other in the sky. The red Blamous half devouring the silvery-white Galderial. The sun shone brightly as the two emerged from the shrubbery, yawning. The wind picked up and blew leaves off from the Oaks, Dogwoods, Mulberries, and many more different trees. It picked up their hair of the travelers and slapped them lightly, urging them from their sleepy haze.

"Sora's still not here.." Kairi stated, but it fell on deft ears. Riku wasn't paying her the least bit of attention. His attention was undivided by the trail of deep red blood, lining the middle of the trail, and in some places there was little and big puddles… Riku bent down and slowly dipped his finger in it. Then brought it to his lips, tasting the red liquid.

"Human blood."

Dyslexia: Ooooh. Evil cliffhanger!
(1). Ea is their great Goddess in this Alternate Universe. 'Ea' is a great divine Goddess to them and the people of this world worship her the most. In Japanese Ea means Earth.

(2). Klah is a hot stimulating drink make from tree bark and tasting faintly of cinnamon.

(3). Larikkii, small, hand held, shadow dragons. They are black or a dark gray and they only live in the Southern part of Densetsu*.

Densetsu* The name of the world Kairi, Sora, and Riku live in.

(4). Galderial, the silvery-white moon, the smaller of the two and is normally in the west.

(5). Blamous, the blood-red moon, normally in the east. The only time it resides in the west is when there is a possibility that the two moons (Galderial and Blamous) will cross each other and make an eclipse of each other, Blamous overtop of Galderial.
