Okay…here's #20…I know I took way to long to update…and I know that it's really short…but like I said in my note…I've got major writers block…I'm sure everyone knows what that is….
Riku: No they don't….
Sore: You know…you're not controlled by darkness right now…
Riku: I know…I just like being sarcastic sometimes…heh
Sora: Baka…
Me: Lenny! Squiggy! Zip it! (Go Princess Diaries!) Anyways, I don't own Kingdom Hearts-
Riku: Thank Gosh…
Me: Shut it! Or I'll do something you won't like…
Riku: And that would be…
Me: dance around in a frilly pink tutu (sweat drops)…anyways, I don't own Kingdom Hearts...no matter how much I wish I did…sniff…
Sora: It's okay… (Comforts)
Chapter Twenty: What He Truly Wanted
They clashed against each other. Riku growled in frustration. Sora jumped back from him. "Riku! Please...you have got to snap out of this! I really don't want to fight you again!"
"Too late! I wanted Kyana! I wanted her! But you couldn't leave well enough alone!" They clash again. Each one vying for dominance.
"That's because she's mine! Riku! She loves me! And you know it! But you just couldn't accept it could you." Sora yelled at him through their two crossed swords. Riku's face twisted in rage.
"I will have her! She will be mine!" Riku stopped and watched Sora carefully.
"What are you going to do? Huh? Have you forgotten that you're love is sitting right here! Crystal! The one you're supposed to be with! The darkness is gone from her…she is normal once more. Please Riku!" Sora pleaded with him, getting desperate. Knowing that sooner or later, his words would no longer reach him. The Darkness was taking Riku further and further away by the second.
Riku stepped forward growling, his eyes beginning to glow, "I will listen no longer…we fight to the death!" And with that he charged Sora. Kyana and Crystal were sitting on the opposite walls; they both knew that nothing could be done to stop these two. It had been building for a while, and eventually they would have clashed whether Riku was taken by Darkness or not.
Sora blocked Riku's sword barely by an inch and shoved him back. Riku growled and shot forward screaming in rage. Sora sidestepped him and swung his Key blade down on Riku's back sending him slamming into the ground. Jumping backwards, Sora readied himself again as Riku stood up. His eyes were glowing completely yellow now, not a trace of the beautiful aqua that once consumed all that gazed into them. Sora knew he had to act fast or else, Riku would be lost. Using Super Glide, Sora flew over Riku and grabbed him from behind holding his arms against his back. Riku struggled but no matter how much he couldn't get free.
"Riku…listen to me…you're being taken by the Darkness…you have to fight it. Don't allow yourself to be put through that misery again. There is someone that is willing to love you sitting right over there. She is waiting for you to come back to her. But you can not get to her like this. Please…hear my words and fight it!"
Riku looked over at Crystal and something flickered in his eyes. He recognized her…and knew who she was. The Darkness was finally receding. He was fighting it. Riku slowly sank to his knees holding his head. He screamed out in pain as the war within him raged. Sora looked at Crystal and motioned her to come. Nodding, she got up and slowly made her way to Riku and bent down wrapping her arms around his shaking frame.
"Riku…my love…I'm here…don't give in…for me…don't give in…" After what seemed like an eternity, Riku finally stopped shaking and went limp in her arms. Looking up at her, Sora and Crystal could see that his eyes had returned to normal.
"Crystal…I'm sorry…I was weak…all…I really wanted…in the end…was your love …" Riku uttered those two last words and passed out in exhaustion.
"Finally…it's over…it's all over…" Kyana got up and walked to Sora. "Sora…what's going to happen now?"
He looked at her and hugged her to him, "We go home…"
Sora picked up Riku and carried him out with the two girls in tow. 'But before anything else…we have to find our friends…' He thought in exasperation. 'I wanna go home!'
