Disclamer: Sadly, I do not own any part of Kingdom Hearts. If I did,
Donald and Goofy would both die of drug overdoses (is it as clear to you as
it is to me?), Riku would stop dropping hints about his sexual preferances
and just admit he's gay, and Cloud and Leon would go around shirtless.
Yummy ^^......Righty then, on to the story and don't forget to review!
~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 2: Clear Eyes
Sora tumbled down the rough shaft. His skin scraped on the rock as he slid down the shoot. Time seemed to slow down as all he could think about was what would happen when he stopped falling. It abbrubtly started again when the ground slammed into him. The impact sent waves of pain through his body. Red flared in front of Sora's eyelids and faded to black as he slowly lapsed out of consciousness.
Clear eyes examined the tattered heap before them. Blood contrasted dramaticly with Sora's now pale complexion and stained his cloths as the youth gathered Sora into his arms. He ordered two of his servants to follow him with the other two immediatly. He placed Sora in front of him on his horse and raced towards the manor.
He straightened, silver strands clinging to his shoulders, and wiped the blood off his hands. Keyblades hanging from his belt, he continued towards the far side of the Rotunda . He stopped. Something was sucking the stale air towards it, seemingly drawing out what little warmth there was in the area. He couldn't sense a presence like he usually could with heartless...but something was there.
"Show yourself." Deep cold churned around him and a Shade emerged from the dark. 'What is that?' A tall, dark form advanced towards Riku. Sickly blue veins glowed under what appeared to be skin. The Shade gazed at him with cold glittering eyes. Riku suppressed the urge to run.
"Ah, the keyblade master. It certainly took you long enough to get here." Riku narrowed his eyes at the Shade.
"You knew I was coming?"
"I knew you would be searching for the door to the light, although I would have expected one who weilds a keyblade to have found it much sooner." Riku felt his heart leap.' The rumors were true this time, I finally found it. Nothing will stand in my way this time.'
"Move." The shade let out a low shudder which Riku assumed was supposed to be a laugh. 'Great, I probably have to fight it. Its always me.'
"You didn't think I would just let you walk right through the Door to the Light, did you?"
"I was hoping I wouldn't have to waste any energy on slaying your sorry ass. I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up."
"Go ahead. Try."
In one swift motion Riku drew Oblivion and slashed the Shade diagonally, then turned and stabbed with Oathkeeper. His eyes widened as the shade let out another laugh. 'What the hell?! '
"I am not a Heartless. You can't harm me."
"Then what are you?"
"What I am is insignificant. What is of importance, is what you will sacrifice." Riku stood aghast. 'Sacrifice?! What could I possibly have left to sacrifice?! What hasn't been torn from me?' Riku spoke slowly and with cold malice in his voice.
"What do you mean?" The Shade sneered at him.
"You really are stupid. It's no wonder that Sora is on the outside while you are trapped inside Kingdom Hearts." Riku shook with anger.'It had no right.'
"Don't you ever talk about Sora!" He lunged at the Shade, determined to cause it as much pain as he possibly could. To make it feel even a small part of the suffering that he had been forced to endure.There was no reason left now. Only all the hate and resentment that Riku had bottled up inside over the last four years. He wanted to hear it scream ; to see its blood run off his hands. He wanted it dead.
The Shade's last comment had had the desired effect.The Shade laughed as the slashes and stabs went straight through it until Riku was leaning on Oblivion for support. How it enjoyed watching this boy suffer. Maybe it could play with him a little longer. Watch as the boy sunk deeper into despair until there was only an empty shell of what was.Yes, that would be fun.
"Now, now. There's no need to get upset. What I mean is simply this: If you want to get through the Door to the Light you must give up part of yourself."
"I'm not giving you anything." Riku strode towards the door and reached for the handles.
"As you wish." The Shade plunged its clawed hand into Riku's heart. Riku gasped and sank to his knees. He couldnt breath. He tried desperatly to fill his lungs with air as he fought the darkness encroaching upon his mind. Slowly everything faded until the only thing left was the Shades laughter. And then that was gone too.
The clear-eyed youth leaned over the boy lying on the bed. He wrung out a wet cloth and cleaned the dried blood from the boy's face. His fingers brushed over the boy's cheek.'He's definitely pretty.' He quickly backed away as he heard the boy stir. Sora groaned as he attempted to get his vision to clear.
"Owww."
"Take it easy.You were pretty beat up when I found you." Sora ,startled, quickly sat up in bed. He immediatly regretted his decision when the room started to spin. "Oww!" He sunk back into the soft pillows. Standing over him was a extremely attractive boy. Deep blue hair framed the most beautiful pair of eyes Sora had ever seen...save one. Clear gray eyes gazed down at him with a thoughtful look.
" Is there anything I can get you?"
"Not unless you have something to make the room stop spinning." The boy smiled.
"I'm Shinsei. I found you on the ground while in to---" Sora sprang up in bed again.
"Donald and Goofy! Where are they? Are they okay?"
"I assumed they were your companions and had them brought here as well. They were in worse shape than you, but they're sleeping now." Sora gave a relieved sigh.
"...I'm Sora."
Author's Note: Well? How'd you like the second chapter? WHAT?! *is teary- eyed* You didn't like it? It was horrible?! Ok. So I can be a little overdramatic. But really, let me know what you think. Also I made Shinsei especially for my story. He is my own little bish.^^ Chaotic_Tarte: *Glomps Shinsei* Shinsei: *sweatdrops*
Anyway you will be seeing more of him, much more. But don't worry. I haven't forgotten beloved Riku. Oh, and I think I got the names of Riku's two keyblades right. As far as I can tell from the KH2 pics I've looked at his two keyblades are Oathkeeper and Oblivion. If I'm wrong, let me know.
I did a screwy thing while I was trying to update the Prologue, so the single review that I got (Thankies for the constructive critisism!) was erased! Chaotic_Tarte*Sobs and throws myself onto Shinsei* Shinsei: *Pats my back ackwardly* I was ecstatic when I saw I had a review. You have no idea. So! Please review if you liked what you read, and if you didn't like what you read review anyway. I would like to know what I can improve on. So review! Chaotic_Tarte: *Throws Shinsei over my shoulder and heads home* Shinsei: *Mouths "help me"*
