Chapter nine: Dance into the light (part two)
It's there in the eyes of the children
In the faces smiling in the windows
You can come on out, come on and open the doors
Brush away the tears of freedom
Riku laughed lightly, as the brunette sang the lyrics that they had written. Sora pouted and looked to the older boy with eyes of aquamarine.
"What's so funny?"
"Well, for one……you trying to sing; two………it just makes me happy."
The little boy blinked and looked to his companion, curious to know why that would make him happy enough to laugh out loud.
"Why does it make you happy, Riku?"
"Because we thought of it together."
- - - - - - -
"R….Riku….." The brunette boy managed to squeak out, as his best friend lifted him up off his feet, Sora left helplessly dangling from above the floor. Riku looked as if his mind was in another world, his eyes vivid of emotion.
Sora wasn't fond of thinking through all the way, but had an idea. He swung his leg with all his might, knocking his foot into Riku's stomach, causing the silver-haired boy to drop him. Sora quickly pulled himself up and stepped back, now noticing they weren't with Aroha, or Goofy and Donald. Everything was white….like it was non-exsistant.
Sora turned his gaze back to Riku, who was now standing straight, his eyes never moving from the brunette youth.
"Riku! Can you hear me!?"
No dice. Riku took a few strides towards Sora, looking as if he was a wild beast ready for the kill. This made Sora nervous, he had never seen Riku like this….it scared him. He racked his brain, thinking of something…anything to get Riku back to the way he was.
"Riku! This isn't you…you wouldn't let yourself be controlled…."
He still pressed on, as if Sora's words went through one ear out of the other. By this time, the silver haired boy had his hand up, probably reading to grab the ocean blue child by the neck once again. Sora felt sweat pour down his pallid face, he had to get Riku to remember!
"Remember Kairi, Selphie, Tidus! Wakka!!"
He came only a few feet away his hand just barely touching the skin of his neck…
"Remember the song, Riku!!!" Sora screamed, pulling his head down as he did. After a few seconds, he felt Riku slump and lean on him, leaving the bewildered Sora to merely try to make sure they both didn't fall over.
"Hand in hand we will lay the tracks…" A soft velvet murmur came from the silver strand covered face that laid upon Sora's shoulder. He smiled brightly.
"Because the train is coming, to carry you home."
Sora blinked in surprise when he felt an arm curl around his waist, and felt the warm spot on his shoulder become cold. Riku looked down to the brunette with wholesome eyes, while he laced his fingers with his. The older boy smiled when he saw Sora's cheeks flame with red.
"Come dance with me"
Slowly, carefully, the silver haired boy led the brunette around the endless place of white, waltzing. While Riku seemed to be distracted, Sora reached his hand around the back of Riku's neck, unhooking the gaudy collar which seemed to control the once arrogant, self righteous teen. Riku leaned his head down next to Sora's, his breath cool as he sang.
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
They'll be no more hiding in the shadows of fear
There'll be no more chains to hold you…
Aroha stood, looming over the corpse of her eldest son, her tears nearly dried. She tilted her head up, watching as the sky turned to a magnificent scene of yellows, pinks and oranges. She smiled dimly as she walked along the dusty road, Donald and Goofy left only to assume everything was over.
"So, uh…..we really didn't need the keyblade?
"I guess not. Aroha said that kid Sora was the key itself….and that there was another one…"
"That black haired guy?" Goofy asked.
"She wouldn't kill a key! …..Maybe that other one. Phooey, who knows. Let's just go home, and tell the king."
Aroha once again looked up to the sky, her eyes glazed over.
"Sora…be good for mommy. Protect your counterpart key, and live with absolute happiness…"
And with that, her form disappeared, just as majestically as she appeared from where she came, returning to Destiny Islands.
The future is yours- you hold the key
And there are no walls with freedom
Now we're here and we won't go back
We are one world
We are one voice
"Look, Riku! I can see Destiny Islands!" Sora suddenly pointed out, pulling out of his daze when falling into complete content. Riku looked toward where he was pointing, and smiled faintly.
"Let's go then, Sora"
Sora looked to him.
"Together?"
Riku laced his fingers with Sora's once again, receiving a hot blush from the brunette.
"Together."
Side by side we are not afraid
Because the train is coming, to carry you home
Come dance with me
Everybody dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
