A/N:: All people know what happened to Sora after the darkness swallowed Destiny Islands, hell we can guess what happened to Kairi after that happened too. But can anyone give a straight answer on what happened to Riku?! Didn't think so. anyways, I came up with a theory on what might have happened to him as Sora awoke in Traverse Town. It has a bit of swearin and a couple of scenes of blood, but I think it could happen. So, let me write, and you give your opinions, alright? Oh well, enjoy.

"I'm Not Afraid Of The Darkness"

The dead air around a dark castle blew harshly across the skin of a young silver haired teenager. He laid on the stone floor, out cold. Suddenly, he began to twitch. His deep bluish green eyes opened to find himself in a unknown place. He began to lift himself up, only for his arm to sting with pain. He held it near his chest, flinching from the pain. He stared down to see it was the hand that was reaching for Sora as the darkness around them began to appear around the two. He looked around, not seeing him or Kairi anywhere in sight. He stood up slowly just in case and more stings of pain ran through his body.

"Where...am I?" He asked to no one in particular.

He held his arm with his other hand, and began to walk along the stone floor. He looked around the lifeless castle searching for his two friends. Suddenly, he heard voices talking to each other. He hid behind the door, and peaked inside.

"I don't believe it, that boy actually defeated that Heartless..."

'Heartless...?'

"The power comes only from the keyblade, the boy's strength is not of his own."

'Keyblade...?'

"What if we turned him into a Heartless? That would make things interesting."

'Who are they talking about?'

"Those men are the king's lackies, and their traveling with that scurvey brat. Those scavege rats are in for it."

"Your no prize yourself. ahahahaha."

"Shut up."

"That is enough. Will the boy triumph over the darkness? Or will the darkness swallow him? Either way, he could prove to be quite useful."

"Who are they talking about?!" Riku screamed, not realizing he just said that out loud.

"Who's there?!"

'Oh shit.'

Riku ran away from the room, as the people that were at the table saw him running down the hall. They chased after him, sending Shadows and Wight Knights after the silver haired teen. Riku turned to see the creatures that attacked his island and some mummy looking creatures heading right at him. He couldn't fight them, he had no weapons. He picked up his pace, running out of the castle's exit, the Shadows hot on his trail. One of the mummy creatures tackled Riku, piercing his back with it's sharp claws. He tried his best not to scream, but it let out anyway. It continued it's attacks, making Riku's cries more intense. The people arrived to hear Riku's screams, and the Wight Knight slashing at him mercilessly.

"Stop, Heartless!!" The woman in black, who seemed to be the leader commanded.

The Heartless disappeared in a mist of black, leaving the blood covered Riku on the cold stone floor. The woman walked up to the teen, peering down at him.

"I'm very sorry, we thought you were spying for the king. Are you alright?" She asked.

"I'm...covered in blood... and my arm hurts like hell... do you think I'm alright?"

"I suppose your right. Ursulla, Hades, take him to the guest room where he may rest, and heal his wounds as well, I have some business to attend to."

Riku looked up weakily, as she began to walk away, leaving the woman that looked like a octopus and a blue fire haired man in black robes at his aid. Ursulla wrapped one of her tentacles around Riku's waist, lifting him off the stone covered floor, and Hades led her to a room covered in carpet, and a silk blanket covered bed. Ursulla laid him on the bed, and Hades used a cure spell to heal the wounds covering his body. She quickly covered him with the blankets, and left him in the room. Hades was staring at Riku, and the teen was getting a little annoyed of it.

"Do you want something?"

"No."

"Then go away!! I'm tired!"

Hades growled at Riku, and quickly left. The silver haired 15 year old laid on the bed, as sleep began to take over, leaving him in a dark slumber.

A/N:: Well, that's my thoughts. I think I might update soon, but who knows? r/r
