"I'm Not Afraid of The Darkness"
Chapter 4
Riku walked into the accessory shop, holding a new blade that Malificent had made just for him. A blonde middle aged man looked up to face the silver haired boy. He lifted himself up to face the boy, that was holding a blade that looked like a curved wing. Riku walked up to the man, laying his hand on the counter.
"Excuse me, I need to ask you something."
"What do ya need, boy?"
"My name is Riku, I was wondering if you could tell me if you know a boy named Sora. If you do, I would appriciate it if you could tell me where he is."
"Sora? Your looking for that boy. Yeah, I know where he is. He should be in the third district, looking for the magician, Merlin. Why don't you head over there? I bet you could catch him that way."
"Thank you, sir."
"No sirs, my name is Cid. If you see Sora, tell him to meet me at my house. I really need to talk to him."
Riku nodded, and headed out of the shop. He looked around, and then walked up the steps to the second district. He looked around to find a few of the shadows appearing in front of him, making him ready his blade. He ran at the Shadows, and sliced through their mist like bodies, as they vaporated into the air. He ran for the hotel, and sliced the little knight like heartless in half, making them disappear like the Shadows. He ran into the red room, ignoring the small creatures, and ran into the alley, only to face a few bat like Heartless.
'This is getting so anoying.'
He lept through the air, and cut through the creatures, and finally made it to the door to the Third District. He opened the door, and looked out. A figure with unruley hair began to step out of a type of room, a duck like creature and a black dog like creature near him. A small smile appeared on Riku's face. A small shadow appeared in front of Sora, ready to attack. Before Sora was able to pull out the keyblade, Riku sliced through the shadow himself. Riku pulled the wing like blade away from his face, and faced the brown haired boy.
"I've been looking for you, Sora." He said simply.
"Riku!" Sora walked up to the silver haired teen, and pulled on his cheeks.
"Hey, hey, cut it out!" Riku took his hands away.
"I'm not dreaming this time, right?" Sora looked up and down at Riku.
"I hope not, took forever to find you." 'Forever is right. First I'm cut up by damn heartless, then I had to make a deal with a witch to get here.'
"Where's Kairi?" Sora asked.
Riku looked at Sora, lost. His expression didn't change, but he was getting a little worried about this. Kairi was still missing, he was expecting that she was with Sora or something, but she wasn't.
"Isn't she with you?" Riku asked, shakily.
"......" Sora bent his head.
"Don't worry, I'm sure she's alright. Well, here we are, in another world. We're finally free. We don't know if we'll ever get back home, but we'll figure it out. Just leave everything to me, I know this--..." Riku began.
While Riku was talking, another shadow appeared, and was ready to strike. What caught Riku's attention was Sora, who had just sliced the shadow in half, revealing the keyblade to Riku. He stood up, holding the keyblade on his shoulder.
"Leave it to who?" A bit of sarcasim was in Sora's voice.
"Sora, when did you...?"
"I'm been looking for you as well, with their help." Sora directed his look to the duck and dog like people.
"...Who are they?" Riku raised his eyebrow.
"Ahem...my name is--" The duck began.
"We've been searching through som many different worlds, looking for you."
"Really? I never could have guessed." Riku chuckled.
"Oh, and Sora's the keyblade master." The dog thing spoke up.
Riku took the keyblade from Sora's grip while he was talking to the other two creatures, and studied it. It resembled a key, but it seemed to hold vast amounts of power.
"So, this is called a keyblade?" Riku said.
Sora finally noticed that the keyblade was no longer in his grip, and saw Riku holding it. He went to get it back from his friend, but the silver haired teen gently pushed him away.
"Here." Riku threw the blade back to the brown haired boy.
"Hey, why don't you come with us? We've got this awesome rocket, just wait till ya see it." Sora smiled.
"He can't come." The duck said.
"What?" Sora looked at the duck, scowling.
"Forget it."
"Awww, come on, he's my friend."
"I don't care."
Riku sighed, and disappeared into the shadows. He hid, as Sora said something he couldn't make out, and then headed up the stairs, the duck and dog following. He went out of his hiding spot, and followed them, finding the three inside a house. A new wind started to pick up, a dark figure appeared by him, but he pretened not to notice.
"See, it's just like a told you. While you went through everything you have to find your dear friend, he quite simply replaced you with some new companions. Now, he values them far more than he does you. You'd be better off without that wretched boy. Now forget about him, and come with me. I can help you find what your searching for." Malificent bent down next to him.
Riku roughly tried to push her away, but she moved away, smiling down at him. He shook his head, angrily, and went out of the third district, heading back to Hook's ship.
'Could Malificent be right? Could Sora not care about me and Kairi anymore? I don't want to think about it...it's not true...it's not true....'
Oh, but it is. Sora is no longer your friend, he's now your enemy. Don't go with him, Riku, just stay with the heartless.
Riku felt something gripping his heart. He fell to the ground, running low on breath. He seemed to be going numb, but suddenly, he was on his feet, heading for the ship once again. He had to figure this out. He had to know more. He had to find Kairi. He had to.
~The End, but only the beginning~
A/N:: Well, that's my theory for what happened to Riku. I hope everyone liked it. I put a lot of heart into this. r/r
