Heh, sorry about the continuation again... I know I promised I wouldn't do
it again, but I wanted to see Deep Dive at school 'cause my computer's a
piece of shit. And I didn't even get to watch it at school because my
floppy is also a piece of crap. So instead, I am writing this out of
boredom. Although, I would've wrote it anyways... XD

And so the past returns – Chapter four

Riku gazed around, still looking for the direction of where the voice was coming from. He couldn't see anything besides pure darkness. What was it...? I suppose it could've been the heartless coming back for him... They DID say they would be back... And where had Sora gone? It's not like him to run away from things like these...
A couple of noises came from behind Riku. Sounded somewhat like rustling wind. He turned to gaze behind him, blinking slightly. There were two figures forming behind some sort of... gray fog. Riku's eyes widened at this. The high-class heartless usually traveled in this fashion.
The smoke slowly disappeared, reveling two cloaked figures. The first and tallest one had silver hair, quite like Riku's, except longer. The second was about the same height as Riku, except he had shorter blonde hair. Both their eyes were hidden by the hood on the cloak, except something was glowing a bright yellow under the blonde's hood.
The silver-haired one took a step forward. His voice was deep and cold, just like Riku imagined. "You will come back to the darkness..."
"NO!" Screamed Riku, cupping his ears with his hands, but leaving his fingers parted for him to hear. "I'll NEVER go back to the da-"
"Unless..." Interrupted the taller one, "You want your little friend, Sora... to suffer in the darkness..."
Riku's eyes widened. "Wh- what do you mean, suffer...?"
"Why do you think he disappeared? We took him, and as we speak, he's being turned into one of us..." He sneered, laughing maniacally. "Loose-loose situation, don't you think?"
Riku lowered his eyes to the ground. He couldn't just... leave Sora, now could he? Then again, he didn't want to go back to the darkness again either... What a choice. Sora, or him... Sora, or him... Sora, or him...
"Are you done?" Bellowed the silver-haired one. "We haven't all day..."
Riku sighed nervously. "Fine..." He held out both his hands. "Take me back, just leave Sora alone..."
The two cloaked ones nodded to each other and walked over, Grabbing one of Riku's wrists and disappearing just as they came, without a trace...

Moments later, they arrived inside a gigantic house. Well, at least it appeared to be a house. The walls were all a pitch-black, the windows were boarded up with bars... Probably to prevent people from escaping.
He gazed around some more, and spotted something that made his heart stop. Sora, the love of his life, was chained to the wall, having all the life sucked out of him. He was weak and hurt, probably from struggling. The keyblade was clutched in his hand tightly, but it hung motionless.
Riku's eyes filled with tears. He wiped them away and glared over to the two cloaked ones. "Let him go now... You said you would!!"
The blonde lowered his head. It seemed like he was hurting, just like Riku.
The silver-haired one sneered. "My boy... It's too late, he's one of us now!"
Riku shook his head, squeezing his eyes shut tight. "No! You pro-"
"It wasn't our fault..." Stated the blonde, looking back up at him. "We came too late..."
"If you would've decided sooner, you could've saved him..." Continued the other.
Riku fell to his knee's, staring at the helpless Sora.
Sora groaned, opening his eyes slowly. A slight smile formed upon his lips as he stared back at Riku. He weakly reached out his hand, attempting to grab Riku's arm. "R- Riku..."
"Sora... Are you alright?" Riku asked, brows furrowing.
"I- I... Think so. "He laughed slightly, nodding. "You...?"
Riku nodded, moving closer to his companion. "Y- yeah... I'll get you out, okay...?"
Sora shook his head, grabbing onto Riku's sleeve. "You know that it's already too late, Riku... I'm done for... I've been placed in the darkness, a- and now, there's no going back..." He pulled on his sleeve a little. "B- but... you'll stay with me, r- right?"
Riku's eyes widened. "Sora..." He looked into the eyes of the younger boy, his own filling with tears. He would do anything for Sora, even if it meant staying in the darkness when he didn't want to... "O- of... of course I will..."
