And here's chapter 8, one of my favorites if you ask me. But still once again, somewhat pointless chapter. Oh well. Anyway, have fun, go crazy, whatever I don't care. Hope you like.
Disclaimer: Oh my gosh, guess what! Yup, you guessed it...I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I'm sure you people are smart enought to figure that out by now.
Claimer: I DO own Falina, Ceres, Narimo, the plot, and the world they're in. I also own a lot of other stuff, but I know you people don't wanna hear about it. Ha.
***********************************************************************************************
Meanwhile at the cave, it was morning. Sora slowly opened his eyes as a ray of sunlight hit them. He yawned, and looked down at Falina. She was still sitting there, sleeping soundly.
He carefully propped her up and gently laid her down. She moaned a bit but didn't wake up. He smiled at her, and went outside. It was nice and sunny today, with few clouds in the sky. It was somewhat breezy, like the day he found Falina, lying there unconcious on the beach.
His mind went over everthing that had happened since that day, right down to today. He heard soft footsteps behind him. He turned his head to see Falina standing there, rubbing her eye and yawning. She smiled at him.
"Good morning." She said somewhat cheerfully, yet sleepily.
"Good morning." He smiled back. She stretched out her arms, and yawned just before saying,
"That was the best sleep of my life."
"Maybe for you. I was sleeping like a rock while practically sitting on one." He said smiling even more.
"Well you shoulda pushed me off and laid somewhere else." She said letting out a small laugh. He turned back around, staring at the sky. She walked up behind him, putting her arms around his waist and resting her head on his back. He had a surprised look on his face, but it faded into a soft smile. He simply put his hands on hers.
About a minute later, Sora felt what seemed to be an minor headache at first, but the pain slowly grew, until it was nearly unbearable. His face cringed in pain as he squeezed Falina's hands harder and harder. She looked up, worried.
"Sora, what's wrong?" He let go of her hands and fell to his knees and leaned over grabbing his head. She got down on her knees with him.
"Sora are you ok!?" She asked again. He managed to get some words out.
"I, don't know. My head just started hurting really bad all of a sudden." She looked scared and worried at the same time. She wasn't sure what to do.
"It''s not just a really bad headache is it?" She asked.
"No. This feels different and worse." He could hardly answer from the pain. His eyes suddenly shot open, but they weren't the gentle cobalt blue eyes she was used to. They were a cold red.
He pushed her away from him. She skidded on the ground a few feet away. He slowly stood up, and looked at her. She was frightened and confused. She looked at him, but it wasn't him. This Sora had almost blood red eyes, and the expression on his face was slight anger, determination, and a small evil smile.
She looked on with wide eyes, and mouth gaping. 'What the heck's goin on?" She thought to herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riku put his hand into the light, and nothing happened. He then passed his whole arm threw the light. Still nothing. He slowly stepped into the pillar.
When he got his whole body inside it, a bright light flashed. Before he knew it he was floating in a void. He felt something hard beneath his feet and stood on it, while the void around him disappeared. He was in a rocky barren place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riku looked ahead and saw Sora. He started to wave, but stopped when he noticed something strange about him. His eyes, and the menacing expression on his face.
"Riku...?" He heard a tiny voice say. He looked down and saw sitting in the ground, Falina. He got down beside her.
"What's going on with Sora?" He asked. Still looking scared, she answered.
"I don't know. His head just started hurting him really badly and his eyes changed. Wait a minute, how'd you get here?" She wondered.
"First of all, I have no idea. Second of all, it's not important." He answered.
Before either one of them could do anything Sora rushed towards Falina, and grabbed her by the neck pulling her up against a tree behind her. His eyes burning into hers. She grabbed his hand trying to pull it away, but it was no use. He was too strong.
Riku quickly jumped up and tried pulling his arm to make him let go. Since Riku was sightly stronger than him, Sora slowly let go after a few seconds. Falina fell to the ground, grabbing her throat and gasping for air. Sora quickly looked at Riku, and punched him hard in the face, knocking him to the ground. He started to walk over to Falina, while she tried crawling backwards away from him.
Riku rubbed his cheek and got up. Before Sora got to her, Riku ran up to him and slammed him with his shoulder knocking him out of the way, and to the ground. Sora got up shaking his head, but before he realized it Riku returned the punch and hit him square in the forehead. It knocked him back to the ground. Riku quickly ran over to Falina.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Good now get up and come with me." She nodded and did as he said. Before Sora became undazed and got up, they started running as fast as they could.
When Sora stood up he wiped a small trickle of blood from his forehead, and started to run after them. They found a huge rock and hid behind it. Both of them breathing hard.
"Man, what the hell's wrong with him? It's like he's possesed." Riku said to no one in particular.
"Well whatever it is I hope it doesn't last long." Falina said.
Sora came walking up behind the rock. Falina and Riku froze, holding their breath as good as possible. Falina's foot slipped on a rock, making a small noise. Riku glanced at her. Sora turned toward the rock. They sighed slightly, but not to where he could hear them.
All of a sudden, Sora jumped over the boulder and right in front of them, and quickly threw his fist at Falina. She quickly moved her head, and he punched the rock, making a few cracks. She and Riku got up and ran. Sora turned around to run after them, but started feeling the same pain as before in his head.
He went to his knees again with his head in his hands. Falina turned around, noticing he wasn't chasing them anymore. She saw him cringing in pain like before. Riku stopped and turned to see what she stopped for, then he looked at Sora.
After he screamed a little from the pain, he slowly opened his eyes, sweat going down his face. His eyes had changed back to the gentle blue they once were. Falina slowly walked towards him, and seeing he looked back to normal, started running to him. Riku followed, prepared in case he wasn't himself again.
Falina walked up and stopped in front of him, also prepared. He looked up at her, and she jumped back. Seeing that he was back to himself she got down beside him. Riku came up and stood beside her. Sora looked up at him surprised.
"Riku!? How'd you get here?"
"I don't know. I'll tell you what happened later." He replied.
"Are you alright now?" Falina asked putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, the pain in my head stopped, but....what happened? Why do I feel as though I was punched in the forehead? And why am I tired and sweating?" Sora asked, rather confused.
"You mean to tell us that you don't remember anything?" Riku questioned, leaning down beside Sora.
"All I remember is me and Falina outside, and my head starts hurting really bad, and the next thing I know, it's like I woke up from a nap because I feel my head hurting again, then I see Riku while wondering how the heck he got here, and then you're askin me if I'm alright." He informed them.
"Well it was like you were posessed or something because your eyes changed, and you tried to kill Falina." Riku said.
"What!? I tried to... Alright what happened? So how exactly did I try to kill her?" He asked, not really wanting to know the answer that much.
"As soon as you became all 'posessed', you grabbed her by the throat and pinned her against a tree, but I pulled your arm off. Then you tried to punch her in the face, but she moved and you hit a boulder instead." Riku informed him. Sora looked at her neck. It was red, but it was going away.
He looked down and saw her necklace again, and remembered her dream she had told him of. He decided to change the subject, not wanting to think of himself trying to kill someone he loved.
"Hey, ya know she got her memory back." He said looking back at Riku.
"Oh really?" He said looking interested.
"I only got some of my memory back, I still don't remember where I came from or how I got here. All I remember is my parents, and the story behind my necklace." She added.
"Your necklace?" Riku said getting somewhat confused.
"Well let's go back to the cave and we'll tell you all about it." Sora said while standing up. They walked back to the cave, telling part of the story along the way. When they got there they began telling him the whole story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at Destiny Islands. Kairi had told Riku to come back and tell her if he found out what the deal with Sora and Falina was, but after hours of waiting she went to Sora's house to see what was taking so long. She walked up the door, knocking on it as she opened it.
"Hello. Sora, Falina, Riku...anybody here?" She said loudly as she walked in. She saw and heard no one. She went looking in the living room, and kitchen, only to find nobody there. She walked into the bedroom. Not a single person was in there either.
The blue pillar of light that was there when Riku came in, was no longer there. Thinking that maybe she'd just come across them somewhere else later, she left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At Ceres' castle, the witch, Narimo, closed the mirror through which they were watching Sora, Falina. and Riku.
"Now who is this other boy?" Ceres asked, becoming aggravated.
"He must have walked into the portal through which you brought Falina." Narimo answered.
"Yes, he probably did. I guess it wasn't a good idea to leave that portal to this world open for that long. I only left it that long because I wanted to make sure that blasted girl would walk into it. It does not matter I guess, it should be closed now anyway. It's only one more person besides Falina and the other boy that I have to kill now." He said with a slight grin.
"Well you had better do it soon. If it wasn't for that white-haired boy, your plan would not have failed."
"Yes. I believe I heard them say his name, Riku, I think. And the other one I think they called Sora. If Riku had not interferred I surely would have had that Sora kill Falina." Ceres said, while remembering the scene.
"Yes but if Riku had not come, what would you do with Sora after she was dead? Doesn't posessing people take a large amount of magic out of you, and can you not only posess people for a short time?" Narimo asked.
"Once I regain most of my strength and magic back, which will take a while, I would simply posess him again, make him bring me the necklace, and then, kill him of course." He told her.
"Yes, that would probably work. If that Riku boy had not come." She said with her always emotionless face.
"If you don't mind, I need to go rest." With that, he left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
***********************************************************************************************
Author's Notes: For those of you who don't get why I said this chapter was somewhat pointless earlier, here's what I mean. Why bother making Ceres posess Sora, when he could've always posessed Falina and made her kill herself? First off, he didn't plan on Riku coming, otherwise his plan would've worked. Second off, it was more enjoyable to him to watch her suffer like that. Hope that cleared things up a bit. Seeya! ~*~ Sky ~*~
