Chapter Eleven: Tainted Mind

"What is wrong with me?" Riku voiced out loud. He had been growing weaker ever since they found Kyana. He was really beginning to worry. "I guess I could go and see what the others are up too. I need to apologize for how I acted the other day any ways." Getting up, he stood up and swayed suddenly dizzy. Gripping his head, he steadied himself and shook it off making his way slowly to the cockpit.

Gummi Cockpit

"Hey Riku! What's up?" It was Kyana. Looking around he saw no one else. Kyana watched him guardedly. She knew that he was supposed to be the Prince of Darkness but he seemed all right to her. But you can never tell, so she kept her guard up just in case. Riku sat down next to her.

"Hey Kyana...where's Sora and the others?" He asked looking around again.

"They're all in the map room. Why?" She asked tilting her head to the side.

"Oh, no reason..." He said and looked away.

"Come on Riku, I know you're lying, I'm not the Princess of Light for nothing." She said with a small laugh.

He looked up at her and into her eyes. They were so deep...like he could drown in them. 'No...I can't think like that. She's Sora's girl...not to mention the Princess of Light...' He thought to himself.

"Riku? Hey...are you okay?" She inquired him again. Looking back at her he froze when her eyes met his and a sudden voice filled his head. It was soothing and comforting. But he could tell it was evil. ' Yes...she is Sora's, the Prince of Light and the Keyblade Masters, girl...but the Keyblade was originally supposed to be yours correct?'

Riku stayed frozen looking at Kyana. She was starting to get worried. 'Yes...it was supposed to be mine...but Sora took it...it choose him instead...' Riku could feel himself being taken away.

'Yes...Sora stole it from you...just like he stole Kairi at first...and just like he is stealing Kyana from you now...' Riku tried to shake the voice off but only succeeded in frightening Kyana further.

'No...get out of my head. This happened once and I wont let it happen again.'

' Oh...but you know it's true...if you'd gotten the Keyblade you'd be the one holding Kyana right now...not that brat Sora!'

"No! Get out of my head!" Riku shouted. Kyana jumped up and backed away from him.

' I'll leave for now...but think on what I said Riku...if you join me...you can have Kyana...and Sora will be no more...think on it my Prince...' Riku sat for a moment then looked up to Kyana only to find that she was at the door with a fearful look on her face.

"Riku...tell me...was it her?" She asked quietly.

Riku bolted up with a pleading look on his face. "Kyana I-"

"No!" She turned away from him. "No Riku...don't touch me...I can't be touched by one that has been possessed by the Darkness..."

"Riku stepped back in surprise. "But Kyana I haven't-"

"Riku, you have...that is how she was able to penetrate your mind. Just leave me alone..." And with that, she ran out the door towards the map room. To Sora...Riku stood there in shock. ' She ran straight to Sora...right to him...' His eyes glowed yellow for a brief moment, and he made his way back to his room. He didn't bother turning on the light.
