Chapter eight: Dance into the light (part one)

"Huh?" Sora asked as he blinked quizzically, as Aroha looked above to the violet and grey colored sky. Donald and Goofy looked at each other in confusion, but then yelped as she heard an ear screeching cry.

"...Orpheus."

All became a red tint in color, as smoke suddenly loomed up from the ground. After it wore off, two figures were standing there. A man with long, ebony hair...and the silver-haired youth, known as Riku.

"Riku...." Sora murmered as he stared at his best friend, shortly cut off by a dark, velvet voice.

The man with dark tresses smirked, his bright green eyes gleaming with delight "Ah, I see you have the so called 'keyblade', boy."

Sora blinked and looked to the weapon in his hand, the long sword shaped like a key which was given to him by Aroha. Without hesitating, the blade shot out of Sora's hand, into the hands of the man with black hair. Both of the animals stared in disbelief, until Aroha cut in.

"Do you see why I said he wasn't the keybearer? The key leaves him...." Aroha plainly stated a small smile on her face, her luscious golden eyes staring into emerald ones. The man; who was proclaimed as 'Orpheus' by her, simply grinned.

"It figures you would know this, my dear mother.."

"Mother?!" Sora, Donald and Goofy said in unison. They all stared at Aroha, who simply frowned.

"Orpheus..I can't believe your that selfish to take a loved one from your brother." She spoke, her voice tinged with emotion of remorse and anguish towards her 'son'. Sora blinked and turned to Riku, washing back all of the conversation, only one thing on his mind. Why was Riku just standing there?

"Riku?....Is that you, Riku?" Riku merely stared at the brunette, his eyes washed over, no pupils visible in those eyes, like the depths of the very ocean itself..yet, they were so cold. Sora knitted his eyebrows in anguish, frowning..something was wrong. "Riku! What's wrong with you!?"

"It's no use trying to talk to him. He's under my influence. He made a deal..I take him to you, and he gives me control over him." Orpheus laughed slightly, placing a gloved hand along Riku's shoulder. Riku didn't even flinch. Aroha merely kept her smile.

"So, my dear..this is all because of jealousy?"

Orpheus shot a glare at his dear 'mother', his eyes filled with coldness, and somewhat hatred. "I advise you to shut your mouth, woman. This happened because of you, you pathetic excuse for a spirit." He snapped, venom oozing from his voice. He closed his eyes briefly, and regained his composure, running a gloved hand through his black strands of hair. "Heh, it's time to end this family fued...Riku, go and greet your friend."

As if automatically, Riku pounced from his standing position, and to Sora in an instant, slamming his fist into the youth's stomach, causing the breath to knock out of the brunette. Sora squinted his eyes in pain, his teeth gritting as he panted for air while leaning into Riku's powerful blow. Sora's mind raced, so many questions...Why did he hurt him? Was he really, truly gone because of that man? Was Riku still in there, and still allowed himself to throw a punch at him, Sora? Tears nearly left Sora's sky blue eyes, as Riku stepped back, allowing the smaller boy to fall to his knees, grasping his stomach in complete anguish and pain. Tears fell silently to the ground.

Aroha looked to Sora in complete despair, then turned her attention to the man who was grinning, pleased with himself. He turned his head to her "So, Mother..are you sure now that you regret making him the 'key to the light'? hm?"

This clicked something in the green haired female. Suddenly, her form went back to her original state, as she flung his hand out, forming a sword from the mist which swirled around her. "Orpheus.I always knew you would betray your family.but not in such a despicable way." He mearly smirked, and drew the keyblade, reading to battle to the death.

Goofy and Donald, on the other hand, were in a tight spot with a few wolves that appeared on the scene. "Uh..they look kinda hungry." Goofly chirped, while Donald resisted himself to smack the dumb dog.

"Riku." The youth pulled himself together and stood up, his cheeks wet with the trails of tears that came from the darkest reaches of his blue eyes. The brunette reared his hand back, and slammed his palm against the face of his best friend, leaving the silvered haired boy to stare to his side, his face showing nothing but surprise. "Riku! You stupid idiot, why'd you agree to someone like that?! You dolt!" Sora blurted out, glaring daggers at Riku. Riku turned his head to see the face of the one who dared strike him.

"Sora..?"

Orpheus, who has having a hard time fending off the attacks and blows of his mother, waved his hand, triggering the small collar around Riku's neck, making the silver haired youth scream out in pain, clenching his throat. Sora quickly pulled his hands onto his best friend's shoulders, trying to comfort him. Aroha saw this and quickly threw her hand out, causing both boys to disappear.

"Huh, still won't let me have any fun." Plainly stated Orpheus as he swung the keyblade at Aroha, who got sliced on the arm. She squinted her left eye and lundged at him, as he simply parried, she took note at his and swung another blade out, slamming it into his heart instantly. He choked slightly, and fell to his knees, pulling out the blade...as he cried out in pain. Aroha knelt down to him, her eyes flooded with tears "I am sorry.my poor son."

With one last look at his mother, Orpheus' head leaned forward and fell upon Aroha's upper collar bone, as she wrapped her arms around him, tears flowing as she watched her first born son, die in her arms.

"Wha.where are we?"

His question was not answered, only met by a hand gripping at his throat.
