Darkness........
Always the darkness surrounded him... Shrouding him from the light that lurked beyond...
"Where am I?"
"In the Dark where I shall keep you" "What?" "You belong in the depths of darkness, you are a creature of the endless night" "No.." "Yes" "But...what about her?" "What about her? You should have killed her. She is of no importance"
"She saved me" "I saved you" "No.....Kiari saved me"
"No..."
Riku's dark clouded mind softened. The darkness lifted and was replaced by a green mist. Such a lovely smell resonated from the mist. He was on the verge of waking. Suddenly a small cold tingle alighted his cheek. Was it still raining? Rain...so peaceful...so serene.. so beautiful.. Why had he never noticed before. The smell of fresh air and trees surrounded him.....along with another scent, a very odd one. It was a sweet as a rose, but there was something more to it. It was weighed with something more. Almost the smell of cotton candy but had this volume of sorrow. It was the smell of tragedy.
"I am sorry Riku.." Riku opened his eyes. He was being held very close to someone. Just beyond the long strips of wet hair he could see it was still raining. A wet cheek was pressed against his, a body holding fast and rocking him back and forth. Their breaths mixed and the air became warm around him. Suddenly Riku felt a hot warm tear sliding down his cheek. Was he crying? No....she was....whoever she was.
She was not aware that he was conscious. He thought to move to let her know, but for some reason he stopped himself. He felt.....safe like this. He didn't know he had never really not felt safe until this moment. He became more confused. Why did this girl's embrace seem so right to him when he didn't even know her.
Lightning flashed in the dark cloudy sky. The rain continued to fall in great sheets. A slight annoyance that had been building in Riku's stomach now turned into full-fledged pain. "Ergh!" he groaned. "Riku, oh shit, your alive!" "Heh..well you sound really happy to hear it" he said sarcastically attempting to stand. The pain in his side went wretched and he fell to his knees. "No Riku, stop, your going to further injure yourself!" Riku's vision grew hazy, but he remained awake. "I suppose I should..." Riku felt a small prick in the base of his neck. "What did you do to me!?" Riku asked as he attempted to move and found he couldn't even budge and barely speak. "I injected a small dose of venom from the dragon Maleficent that I killed off shortly after the one called Sora left thinking it defeated." "You wench!" "Do not worry Riku, the dose is small and has no lasting effects, it will only paralyze you for the time being"
The next thing he knew, the girl was lifting hi unto her shoulders and everything from there became a blur. He did not know if it was because he was hardly conscious, or whether it was because he seemed to be going as fast as the rain poured down upon them.
As soon as his vision cleared, he was infront of a large gummi ship. "Where the hell do you think you are taking me!?" The girl went through the doorway and into what seemed to be a bedroom. She laid him as gently as possible on the bed and covered him with a blanket. "I repeat, where do you think you are taking me?" "To Destiny Island, that is where you and I both need to be."
Destiny Island? Both need to be? The girl...she is so similar it Kairi, and yet she is different. But could it be? The warmth over took his injured body and Riku drifted to a confused, deep sleep.
A/N: Ok, sorry it took so long, I have been very busy of late. As always I will try to update as soon as possible.
Preview for the next chapter: Riku the one who always knew everything suddenly finds that the things he thought was right is utterly wrong, and what he didn't know will comeback to be known.
