Summery: In this story, Sora and Kairi have shared a paopu fruit. Riku is heartbroken when he sees Sora proposing to Kairi. After that fateful day, Riku's heart turns to stone and he never shows any signs of emotion again. Until, a large Darkside Heartless appears on Destiny Islands. He must go into war, but then a new traveler comes into the scene. Is this a Heartless? Or is it the only thing that can melt Riku's icy heart?
Chapter 1: Riku's Revenge
Riku walked out of the secret place, eyes dark as the midnight sky.
The weather had almost changed as quickly as Riku's mood. The ocean was banging against the beach fiercely, waves of water bringing many seashells against the sand. There were dark, menacing clouds in the sky that were as black as a raven's wings. The sun had disappeared behind these said clouds, and no birds could be heard over the roaring of the ocean and the forbidding thunder.
Riku walked towards the little island he always used with Sora as a place to train their sword techniques and fighting stances. He slowly unsheathed the Keyblade, which Sora had given him after the long journey, and starting hitting the coconut trees out of frustration, sadness and anger.
Lightning struck nearby, and the ocean grew even wilder with each second. The winds wailed, and Riku looked behind him. Sora and Kairi were running towards him, shouting something he could not hear over the din.
He decided to ignore them out of jealousy and went back to hitting the coconut trees.
Over the thunder and lightning, and the roar of the black ocean as well, a low rumbling could be felt. Riku looked down at his feet, and saw that his precious island was sinking. The island that he had shared so many memories with Kairi and Sora.
Sora and Kairi had finally reached his side, and were shouting as his face.
"Riku! Come on! We have to go, now!" Sora shouted with a forlorn look plastered on his face.
"Please hurry Riku!" Kairi pleaded to him with tears in her eyes.
Riku turned to look at Sora and Kairi. His eyes roamed over the two young adults until he finally stopped.
They were holding hands, with their small fingers intertwined.
Burning rage shook through Riku, and he shouted angrily at Sora.
"How could you do this to me Sora!? How could you take the one thing I want, the only thing I need! You took her away..." His voice shook with despair as he trailed off slowly.
At first Sora was extremely puzzled. Then he looked down at his own hand, which was laced together with Kairi's. He looked at Kairi, and then realized what Riku meant.
Riku was in love with Kairi! Or something of that persuasion.
Sora started pleading with Riku.
"Riku, please listen to me. I know now that you love Kairi. But if you really love her, you will let us discuss this once we get to a safe place."
But Riku couldn't wait. Not after so long of waiting.
"No Sora. I love her, so this must be discussed now."
"Riku-"
Sora never got to finish his sentence. A low rumble crossed the land again, and Sora realized what was happening. He had felt it before he thought Destiny Island was destroyed.
"No.... not a Heartless...."
Riku turned around to see what everyone was staring at.
It was the largest monster he had ever seen. It had big, dark claws and in its stomach, a large hole, shaped like a heart.
Sora yelled, "KEYBLADE! COME TO MY AID!"
The Keyblade glowed in Riku's hands for a moment before appearing in Sora's gloved hands, and without a second thought, charged toward the Heartless.
Riku stood there as he watched Sora battle the monster. Things were looking very good for Sora, and Riku could tell he was almost done the battle.
Until......
A large explosion happened in the stomach of the Heartless. Inside, a dark energy ball came forth, and attacked Sora in the back.
Kairi screamed. Riku grimaced. Sora fell. Riku had gotten his revenge, but something had felt weird. He had made Kairi cry, and for that, he was sorry. Why did Sora have to get hurt for him to not take Kairi away?
Sora's lifeless body fell into the black ocean, and the Heartless smirked triumphantly.
Meanwhile, the black energy ball was still floating in the air. The black energy suddenly disappeared, and someone started to fall.
Seeing this, Riku ran towards the person, and caught it.
Riku gasped.
It was....
A/N: Poor Riku got revenge, but perhaps at the cost of Sora's life? And what will happen to Kairi? And who is this mysterious person? All of this in Chapter 2, Maiden of Darkness.
