This is one of those random stories where I don't know what I'm writing about until I write it. Have you ever wondered if they're actually telling us the whole story? This is my version of what REALLY happened to Riku in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Ansem/Riku, Riku/Sora
:Intro:-
Riku didn't know where he was. Everything was dark, yet he could still see...like when the sun goes down, but there's still light in the sky: Twilight. That was the word for it. But it wasn't the lack of light that bothered him, it was the fact that he couldn't move. No matter how hard he tried he still hung there limply, as if he was a puppet on strings. He found himself laughing on the inside as he remembered something Pinocchio had said. "I want to be a real boy." Riku smiled inwardly. "I want to be a real boy... Am I real? Or am I just a memory, a lost picture tucked away in a drawer in the attic of someone no one remembers...a picture drawn from some floating idea. Who am I? What am I?"
He was surprised when a voice answered his thoughts. "Riku, Riku, Riku...has the twilight gone to your head? Must I remind you of everything that has happened?"
That voice...it was so familiar, though it wasn't the voice, it was the feeling, the resonance, the...scent...of it that made him remember. "Ansem?"
"That's right boy, have you forgotten me already? I haven't forgotten you, oh no, not you... You, who couldn't even beat Sora. You, who stopped me from beating him. You, who fear the darkness..." Ansems voice hadn't changed a bit since Riku had last heard it, and now, suspended in nothing, he could hear the darkness, feel the darkness, and even smell the darkness from it. It made him want to throw up, and he probably would have, too, if he could.
"Ansem, get out of my head!"
The voice laughed, "Oh, but I'm not in just your head. I am in your eyes, your blood, your HEART. I AM you Riku, and I will continue to be you until I get what I want."
A wave of fear and anger came over Riku. "What do you mean? How can you be me?"
Ansem laughed again, "You have become so weak since you entered the door. You fear the darkness, you don't understand the light, so here you are, floating in twilight, until something, or SOMEONE gets you out of it. I've been inside you for a while, waiting for the moment I can become me again, and now that you are not strong enough to oppose me, I will SHOW you how great the darkness can be..."
An awful feeling of power and malice flowed through Riku. It was in his very blood, the awful scent of darkness. He tried to fight the inevitable control it had over his body, but it was like trying to make a river flow upstream with a shovel. "Ansem let me go!"
"I think not." With that, all light simply vanished leaving Riku in more of a void than ever. He was no longer in a realm of twilight, but one of darkness.
R-i-k-u-'-s-s-i-d-e-o-f-t-h-e-s-t-o-r-y-
This is my first Kingdom Hearts fic, and since Riku is awesome, It's about him. Er...I'm still not sure what the story's about yet, but it will eventually have some Riku pairings. What do you think? Is it any good?
