Last Sane Thought (Chapter
Nine)
Rating PG-13
Sora trudged up the path where they had found Muk. He growled throwing the thing on the ground and pulled out his sword.
Muk looked up at him just in time to see the sword come down.
Sora sollapsed when muk's scream burst into the air. "Not again! SHUT UP!" He hissed shoving his elbow where he was sure was Muk's face.
Looking over when the silence happened he saw Muk. Sleeping, calmly as if he... it was in peace. He watched Muk's quietly for a bit.
Then he caught the slow motion of Muk's body. It was... melting. He saw Muk's imitation tendrils of hair slip away like worms into a gaint black puddle. His ears dipped off like an open glue bottle and his falt chest washed away.
He reached out to the new form in shock. He reached his fingers out to touch the ash gray face. Muk now resembled, "Riku?"
Muk's eyes darted open and he reached out to rip the Keyblade from his shoulder. Sora rushed up first, "No let me help you get that out Riku."
Muk squirmed painfully as Sora pulled his Keyblade out. Sora looked down at Muk with shinning eyes. "I'm so glad your okay. I thought I killed you. I'm really sorry! I had to do it! I really didn't want to! Do you forgive me?"
Muk looked up at his attack and found the words from somewhere far away. "But of course Sora, I'll always forgive you."
Sora suddenly gave a gasp. "Riku! They know you're back! They're trying to get you back!" Sora cried.
Muk looked over his shoulders and gasped. The floor around him was collecting with dark shadows. He wanted to shout out that it was okay and that they would be safe. That they meant no harm but he could no longer speak in the human tongue. Whatever had helped him before was gone now.
Sora pulled out his Keyblade and took Muk under one arm. "I'll protect you Riku. I won't let you die again. Not by me not by anyone."
Muk held on to him tightly as they were surrounded. Muk reached out to Sora's wielding arm and looked up at him.
"You don't want me to kill them?" He questioned with confused eyes.
Muk shook his head and Sora listened. Dark hands covered them threatening to pull them apart of Sora wouldn't have it. He held on painfully tight to Muk, "You can't have him!"
Muk looked at Sora. Seeing him protect him like this. He was sort of happy that Sora cared for his well being even if he did constantly call him Riku.
Sora put both arms around Muk when the pull became tighter. "It will be okay Riku. I won't let them hurt you."
Muk relaxed into his embrace and with a sigh changed again. He watched Sora look at him with big eyes as a dim light made his skin glow.
Muk's skin was the same color as Sora's now. He was almost there. His daddy would be proud of his accomplishment.
Suddenly the hands were gone and the darkness lifted. Sora looked up in shock at all the darkness. It looked like an enteral city of night.
Muk found his voice again
and the knowledge to speak in human, "Sora, Welcome to the Kingdom of Hearts!
My home."
