Chapter 5: Tears of Blood

Riku got home and ate his dinner; he wasn't really hungry but ate anyways. He was to busy thinking about everything, and what would happen next. After he was done he walked slowly up stairs to take a shower. It was like he was hypnotized even though he was getting himself ready for bed his mind remained concentrating on his memories. As he pulled on his PJ's and jumped into bed he wondered why he felt the way he did.

Riku: Why, why am I the one who has to be evil!?

Voice: Because it is your destiny

Riku: Wha… Not you again!

Voice: You mean you would rather me leave you alone?

Riku: Yes, I don't need you!

Voice: Are you sure Riku, you know I am part of you

Riku: What? What do you mean!

Voice: Riku, I am your father!

Riku: o.O

Voice: Just kidding, I'm you!

Riku: Noo!!!!

Voice: -.-; Wrong cue

Riku: Oh sorry! ^.^

Out from the shadows came a figure in a black cloaked, he lifted his hands up to his hood and bang it down slowly. Riku gasped for he saw him self, but the eyes were not his. The eyes were glowing yellow and his voice was different.

Riku: No this can't be! You can't be me!

AntiRiku: Oh but I can! I was the half of you that was ripped away when Ansem left you! But now I've found you and it's all because you put on your outfit that Ansem gave you! That outfit is made from darkness and when you put it on I was able to find you! But because your heart had no darkness in it I was not able to take you over. So I tried to get you to turn once again to darkness. Now OPEN YOUR HEART TO DARKNESS!!!

AntiRiku thrust his keyblade (you know the one Riku had in Hollow Bastion that could unlock people's hearts) in to Riku's heart!

Riku: NOO!!!

AntiRiku laughed, he had unlocked Riku's heart. AntiRiku then turned into darkness and went inside of Riku.

AntiRiku: See Riku how nicely we fit together. And now together we can open the door and let the darkness come in!! And of course we will not forget about your dear friends Sora and Kairi! Sora will either open his heart to darkness, or he will die. And Kairi will also have the same choice as Sora! MUAHAHAHA!!!!!

And with that AntiRiku disappeared into darkness. But the real Riku was still hanging in there he had not been completely taken over by darkness. A small amount of him still was good, but that was only because in that moment where he had been stabbed he had thought about his friends, how they had said they would not let anything bad happen to him. And he knew that they would be with him no matter what! But would that alone help him gain control of his body?

~At Sora's house~

Sora woke up sweating. He knew something was wrong. He felt a pain in his heart as if it had been ripped in two!

Sora: *panting* This pain… what is it from?

Sora looked out of his window to see nothing. Everything around him was black. In fact he couldn't see his room anymore he couldn't even see himself!

Sora: Wha!! Where is everything!?!?! Am I blind?!?!?!?!!?!

Sora ran around in the darkness for what seemed to be hours until he saw a thread of light off in the distance. Sora ran towards the light hoping to find a way out. But that was not what he would find.

While Sora was in darkness Kairi stood trembling she didn't know where she was and didn't know where anyone ways or were her room went. She had never been so cold! Then she heard footsteps behind her, she turned to look to see who was there.

Kairi: Sora is that you?

Then she saw Riku standing right in front of her. But his face was complete blacked out.

Kairi: Riku! Are you trying to scare me?

AntiRiku: No Kairi, I'm trying to kill you!

He then brought his blade down upon Kairi who screamed in fear, as Sora ran out from the darkness.

Sora: KAIRI!!!!!

Sora: *looking at Riku* Why? Why Riku??

AntiRiku: Because *his eyes glow* She would not accept the darkness!

Sora: You're not Riku!

AntiRiku: But I am. I'm his dark side, I took over his body and now Riku has once again turned to darkness!

But inside of AntiRiku something happened that he had not expected. The moment he had killed Kairi the remains of the real Riku came to life and began to grow.

Sora bent down and cradled Kairi's body in his arms.

Sora: I promise you I will find a way to bring you back…

AntiRiku: Well Sora it's your turn what will it be?

Sora: I will never join the darkness!!!!

AntiRiku: As you wish

He brought his keyblade down upon Sora, but Sora's keyblade had appeared in his hands and he was able to block the attack! But then as they began to fight Riku gained a bit of control.

Riku: Sora go take Kairi's body with you and go, hurry!

Sora: Riku? Riku are you---

Riku: Quick I can't hold him off much longer!

And with that Sora ran as Riku began to cry.

Riku: Why did you have to kill Kairi?

AntiRiku: We had no choice but to!

Riku: We! I didn't do it! You did!

AntiRiku: But on the contrary you and I are one!

Riku: I would rather kill myself then be with you!

AntiRiku: Are you sure?

AntiRiku then took over. He then picked up his keyblade.

AntiRiku: I wont let Sora get away.

~Later~

Sora ran and ran until all of the darkness faded away. He found himself in the secret cave.

Sora: Kairi, I know there will be someway to get you back.

He hugged Kairi's body and began to cry. But his tears were not water they were blood. The tears of blood rolled down Kairi's face and were absorbed by her skin. Then Kairi began to move.

Sora: Kairi??

Kairi: Sora? What happened… all I remember was seeing Riku…

Sora: It's ok Kairi, I'm so glade you are ok! But Riku… well something has happened to him.

Kairi: Yes I could tell but what?

Sora: There is something in his body that has taken him over!

Kairi: Well what should we do?

Sora: You mean I do, Kairi I cant allow you to get hurt again!

Kairi: I understand…

She hugged Sora, she wanted to tell him how scared she was but somehow she couldn't. She just hoped that no one else would get hurt, and for Riku's safe return. They stayed in the cave for a long time just sitting there in each others arms not wanting to ever let go. Sora slowly began to move Kairi away from him. She looked so scared and he didn't want to leave her but he had to save Riku! He just had to!
