Chapter 5
Sora just stood there, eyes wide in disbelief. Riku approached him, taking off his hood. "Where's Kairi?" Riku asked. "Inside. She was frightened by the huge heartless." Sora replied. Just then, Kairi ran out of the house. "Riku!" she shouted, running to him. As she got near him she began to slow down, and stopped a few feet from him. She examined his face, looking at every wrinkle and twitch. There was something different about Riku. Gone was his constant expression of mischief, and in it's place was an icy, emotionless one. "Riku, what happened?" asked Kairi. "I'd rather not talk about it out here, I'll tell you inside." he replied.
Inside, they sat on the bed, and Riku explained that while inside Kingdom Hearts he and king Micky had to destroy all of the dark bulges corrupting it. Once this was done Ansem appeared in his true form, pure darkness. The darkness consumed them both, and flashes of there worst fears and memories went through there heads. They realized that they must fight these thoughts or they would quickly go insane. Riku chose to fight off these thoughts with the one thing that made him happiest: Kairi. As soon as he thought about her the darkness began to fade around them, and light was restored.
"I came back to the islands, expecting a warm welcome, but instead I find my best friend has taken the one thing I ever cared for: Kairi. I plan on claiming what's mine." Riku said, a large sword appearing in his hand.
