KINGDOM HEARTS
Riku slowly opened his eyes. He was lying down on a dirt-like surface. He looked around him; all he could see was subtle light. He slowly tried to sit up but felt his arm give out.
"Ahhh," He moaned as he took his arm in his hand Quickly and gripped it as tight as he could. He struggled to breath, he didn't feel right. "Where am I?" he questioned to himself as he looked around.
"You're in Kingdom Hearts." Said a light, emotionless voice from somewhere behind him. He quickly jolted around to see a shady figure slowly approaching him. Riku tried inching back as best he could but couldn't manage to do it well.
"Who are you?" he shouted, the noticeable element of fear in his broken voice.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you." She said reaching her arm down to him. He took it with his free hand and she hoisted him up. He was a few inches taller than her, but all and all she wasn't that short.
"I'm, ah, Diceandria Chamaigne Castellenetta Von Thibodeaux. But, you can call me Dicey." She said. "I saved your life."
"I'm Riku." He responded suddenly unsure of himself. "So thanks for saving me, I guess."
"Don't mention it." The two stood quiet for a few moments. Riku stared at her as she looked off into the unknown.
"Where are we?" Riku asked at lass.
"Don't you remember?" Dicey questioned turning her head around in confusion. Riku slowly shook his head. "Your friends closed the door and that, um, mouse king Mickey guy was killing the heartless and you were trying, but it's kind of hard with no weapon. I noticed all of this and began to help right after you were knocked out." Dicey explained.
"Friends?" Riku questioned, "Sora?"
"Short kid, lots a hair. goofy smile?" Dicey asked. Riku nodded. "There were to other guys and. A girl, off in the distance." Dicey said. "Yeah."
"Kairi!?" Riku exclaimed. Dicey shrugged.
"She had short red hair and was wearing a purple skirt." Said Dicey. Riku walked over to a nearby rock and sat down.
"Wait," Riku began. "What were you doing in here?" Dicey looked at him as if he was an alien.
"I was looking for the, um, key blade master." Dicey began. "I thought it was supposed to be you, but." Dicey shrugged and sat down next to Riku.
"This whole thing is just so confusing." Said Riku looking at Dicey.
"Tell me about it." Dicey agreed as she then fell silent. "I suppose now I have to go find the real master. That kid, what did you say his name was, Sora?" Dicey asked. Riku nodded. "Hmmm."
"What happened to the heartless, and the mouse?" Riku questioned.
"They all just left, King Mickey went with them." Said Dicey. "He told me that he needed to find someone and that I needed to stay with you." Said Dicey. "But I really don't know, I've been in here for days waiting for you to wake up. Thought you were dead really. But I had to stay, Mickey said to, besides, I had no way of leaving." Riku nodded as he began to understand.
"Hmmm, look, it's really nice of you to wanna 'help' me and all, but this is something I just kind of need to do myself." Riku said as he began to get up. Dicey looked at him.
"I'm not helping you, we both just happen to be looking for the same thing." Said Dicey. "Wouldn't it be easier if we just did it together?"
"No." said Riku sternly. "Look, there is only one thing I care about, and that's finding Kairi. Sora could be freezing to death out there right this very moment for all I care!" Riku shouted.
"But, I thought." Dicey began timidly.
"Not everyone's destiny is to find the "key blade master" ok! I just want to go home and I can do it by myself!" Riku marched off to the large white doors far in front of him. Dicey fell silent as she watched him try to push them open with one arm. Dicey waited for a few moments and then walked over to him.
"Those doors won't open, we have to find another way out." Said Dicey. Riku didn't stop.
"You can find another way, I like this one." Said Riku through gritted teeth. Dicey shrugged and gave him a sly smile and began to walk off. Riku watched her as he tried to push with all his might. Dicey didn't look back once. Riku stopped trying and watched as she slowly began to fade away. He sighed one of his deep, meaningful sighs and began to run after her.
"Dicey wait!" He called. He caught up to her and panted for a minute to try and catch his breath as Dicey ceased to stop or respond.
"I'm sorry," he gasped as he walked by her side. She said nothing and Riku frowned. "You were right, I need to stay with you."
"And how do I know you won't just run away after I get you out of here?" Dicey questioned refusing to look back at him. Riku stopped walking and took Dicey's arm in his left hand (The one that worked) and pulled her back.
"Look, sometimes I say things I don't mean. I'm sorry." Said Riku sincerely. Dicey looked at him, he looked back hard. "I have a bad rage problem," he confessed.
"Fine," she replied ripping her arm out of his hand knocking his right arm on the way.
"God!" He gasped through gritted teeth as he grasped his right arm again.
"Oh! I. err" Dicey struggled unsure of what to say. "Let me see it." She said reaching her hands out to his. He drew away.
"No, I'm fine." He said sternly.
Dicey removed his hands from his arm and studied it carefully. Dicey touched it lightly in certain places.
"Owe! God what are you, trying to break it more!?" Riku exclaimed trying to draw his arm back.
"I think you might've broken it, that there, doesn't look right." Said Dicey softly. She then gave Riku his arm back and carefully ripped off a section of her skirt and tied it in a circle.
"Here," She said getting up onto her tip toes, placing it around his neck, and pulling his arm through it creating a sling. "That should help a little." Dicey began walking again as Riku steadily followed.
"Thank you," he mumbled watching the ground as he stepped.
Riku slowly opened his eyes. He was lying down on a dirt-like surface. He looked around him; all he could see was subtle light. He slowly tried to sit up but felt his arm give out.
"Ahhh," He moaned as he took his arm in his hand Quickly and gripped it as tight as he could. He struggled to breath, he didn't feel right. "Where am I?" he questioned to himself as he looked around.
