Point of View: Riku, and Lakura


Disclaimer- I do not own Kingdom Hearts!!


Riku- "Lakura!" I watched her fall many stories, into darkness. I couldn't let her go alone, Not now. "Go! Follow her! Quickly!!"I turned to see Leon, still flashing dangerously. I nodded. "You're right Squall." I jumped into a swan-dive after her.

Lakura

Outside this cavern.. It was guess. Dark. As I continued to walk into it, it just got more menacing than before. When I got to a certain point, the area morphed, and places I knew flashed before me. It was hopeless to try and avoid it. I knew this now. I was trapped. But what? ***Riku! Wha.... Riku....Is there something.. 'I never loved you.' Tears fell.

'Wha.. What do you mean?' ' I was just plating the game. You were so pathetic.' He flipped his hair over, and turned away.*** Those were my greatest fears. The darkness was flashing them before my eyes, all of my fear. It wasn't unexpected, just surprising. It was mental abuse.

***What do you want here? There is nothing for you.'*** No..I thought. "Just stop it!! What do you want from me?!?!"

Riku- I was trapped. All the darkness took itself, and wrapped it around me, binding me to 1 spot. But not physically. And not for long. My eyes didn't focus at first, just a lot of fuzzy images. Until they became real. Then they focused. A spotlight image, on Lakura, where she was positioned in the darkness. She was on her knees crying, sobbing, holding her head, and moaning .It was in her thoughts.

I grabbed, but it was just out of my reach. I continued this action, but the darkness just seemed to laugh in my face. The thorn band dug into my hand. The pain was real. All pain was real. I t would be so easy.. To just lie here, and let the darkness control me.. Again. But.... I couldn't leave her alone. I swore. I was her shield, but the darkness was still there....

Lakura- ***'I don't need you. Why don't you just get lost?' Frosty***I fell. The darkness kept pushing back up. But this time I fell, and it pulled viciously on my clothing and skin. I tried batting it away, with no effect. I was too emotionally drained. There was a steady drip. It echoed but seemed to have no source. I tried to stumble on. I struck a wet thing. A small pool of water. Odd.

The dark shadows kept pulling on my hair. They were pulling so hard, it changed color. Rubbing dark and blood. But it was permanent. ***'What do you hope to gain? Why do you stay here? I am never coming back.'*** I huddled a little beside the pool looking at my darkened reflection. I couldn't feel or control the tears any longer. I slowly touched a strand of hair.

It was no longer the deep periwinkle color. It was a rather whitish scarlet. It was light , but not pink, and streaked with silver. I splashed the pool. No longer did I want to look at myself. I was bloody, worn, and only a little over half alive. I was turning. Not for god..not for worse. I couldn't explain it. *** Get out of here! I won't help you. Begone.'***

As I turned my head I saw something I recognized. Green.. A leaf. The papou leaf. ***'That was fake. Why would I ever that?'*** I held it close to my heart. My tourniquet.

*My god ,My tourniquet,

Return to me, salvation.*
