Some things belonging to shadows

Chapter 9

"I wanna kill you." he repeated again.

"Why?" Riku managed to ask.

"I hate your family and everything they did to me." he smiled so coldly it sent shivers down Riku's spine.

"Shadow?" Riku asked.

"What do you need luv?" Shadow smirked before he was sent flying to the other side of the room.

"Got here just in time." Tidus sighed as he let a sword down and fell to the floor.

"Nice swing there Tidus." Auron petted him.

"Thanks." Tidus thumbs-up-ed him.

"Did you just hit Sora with a sword?" Riku asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Oh. That was to calm Shadow down." Tidus brightly smiled and Riku somehow twitched.

"Ooowwww!" Sora slowly got up, rubbing his head.

"Oh, Sora. Welcome back. Sorry about knocking you mostly out." Tidus said from afar, getting up.

"It's alright. Although Shadow doesn't really like being hit by that holy sword." Sora pointed out, as he got closer to them.

"Sorry. But it was for your own good. Do you know how many people could've realized Shadow was loose?" Tidus told him.

"Was he really being careless?" Sora asked.

"So much I think they know it." Auron sighed and scratched the back of his head.

"Oh. Shadow says sorry." Sora weakly laughed.

"Like hell he is." Tidus glared at nothing.

"Okay. I have a question." Riku called their attention to him.

"What is it?" Auron asked.

"Why does Shadow want to kill me?" Riku asked boredly.

"Oh, that. We don't have many details, but please be careful in the future about being alone with Shadow. We might not be here in time next time it happens." Auron warned him.

"And you be careful too Sora." Tidus ordered him.

"Why?" Sora asked, confused.

Tidus sighed, "Because I don't want this happening again. Even though we said we wouldn't stop Shadow from killing Riku…" Tidus began telling him.

'Gee, thanks.' Riku thought.

"We will try to stop you from becoming Shadow completely." Tidus declared.

"Huh? What does that mean?" Riku asked confused.

"You shut up." Auron ordered, "This part really has nothing to do with you." he glared at the boy, making him extremely quiet.

"Alright then." Sora sighed sadly and went up the stairs to his room, followed by Tidus.

"We'll be going then." Auron bowed and left with Tidus as well.

"What the hell was that all about?" Riku sighed and slumped down in his couch.

… …

By the next morning, everyone, as Riku noted, was acting as if last night never happened.

"So, what are you planning on doing today?" Riku asked.

"Hmm?" Tidus said confused.

"You are planning on actually doing something today, right?" Riku asked them.

"I still don't know yet." Tidus told him.

"I have to go to the elder's again." Auron told him.

"I'm staying with Tidus until Selphie comes so we can go to the mall." Sora smiled.

"I'm going the elder's with Auron. There's something I wanna ask Cloud." Tidus said suddenly, glaring at Auron.

"Oh, then I better tell Selphie." Sora thought out loud.

Sora quickly finished his breakfast and went to look for a phone.

"Am I missing something?" Riku asked.

"No. Nothing at all." Tidus told him, ignoring everything.

"And what about last night?" Riku asked bluntly.

"I told that has nothing do with you." Auron told him.

"Why not? Shadow wants to kill me." Riku smirked.

"I meant the other thing." Auron glared at him and Riku quickly frowned.

"Why can't I know what that meant?" Riku asked.

"Because only the people guarding Sora can know." Auron told him.

"…" Riku kept quiet, even if he really wanted to know what they were talking about.

… …

"So, explain to me again why you're coming?" Auron looked suspiciously at Tidus, while Sora just whistled a song.

"I need to talk to Cloud." Tidus told him, ignoring the suspicion from his lover.

"Oh, really?" Auron raised his eyebrow.

"You have a problem with that?" Tidus asked him.

"Yes. I always have a problem with you talking to other guys." Auron said, almost pouting, and Tidus was surprised.

"Auron's jealous! Auron's jealous!" Sora said in a singsong and he skipped around Auron and Tidus.

"Get back here you midget!" Auron ran after Sora, his face completely red.

"Ha ha!" Sora laughed as he ran towards the elder's house.

"…" Tidus smiled as he followed them.

As soon as Sora got to the elder's house, he ringed on the bell. He looked behind him to see Auron coming his way.

"Come on, come on!" Sora was getting a bit impatient about the door for not opening.

"Yes? Wha-?" Cloud didn't have a chance to say anything as Sora flew past him saying, "Thanks Cloud!"

"Sora?" Cloud looked behind him confused and suddenly sensed evil coming his way so he quickly closed the door and heard a strong bang on the door.

"That was Auron." Sora wickedly smiled from afar.

"Shit." Cloud muttered as he heard the doorbell again and slowly opened the door, "Hello you two." Cloud said, stuttering a bit.

"Hi Cloud." Tidus said with a grin that said 'You're in so much fucking trouble'.

"Where's the midget?" Auron asked and Cloud slowly pointed behind him, "Thanks." Auron strode past him in all-rage-fury mode.

"So… Can I talk to you for a while?" Tidus asked, slightly smiling.

"Sure. As long as killing isn't in the process." Cloud sighed.

"Scout's honor." Tidus smiled and followed Cloud into the living room.

… …

"Hmmm…" Tidus went silent after he talked with Cloud.

Apparently, talking to the blond man was a bit hard, but Tidus used his charm (meaning alcohol) and got Cloud to talk about his past with Auron.

"Alright then. See ya later." Tidus smiled and left the drunk Cloud alone in the living room.

… …

"Tidus?" Sora looked around the large mansion for Tidus.

A while earlier, Auron managed to catch him and gave him a pretty long lecture. Of course, Sora didn't stick around so he left and went to look for Tidus instead, since he had also found Cloud drunk.

"Tidus?" Sora called again as he found himself in the third floor of the house.

Sora lazily and without thinking, went towards a door he thought looked a bit familiar.

"You shouldn't do that." he heard Shadow's voice in his head.

"Why not?" Sora asked confused.

"It's the place were you recovered." Shadow told him.

"But that would mean I'm…" Sora mumbled the rest.

"Don't open the door Sora."

"But this is…"

"Don't open it."

"I have to…"

"Don't."

"You like this…"

"I don't."

"This is my…"

And he opened the door.

… …

A huge scream was heard and everyone jumped.

"Sora!" all three screamed as they ran up the stairs.

TBC…

Sissy: So, finally did another chapter.

Kody: (sarcastic tone) Banzai!

Aoi: The usual.

Amy: Um, replies to the reviews? (concerned for her friends)

DieChan; thanks, hopefully I'll start writing faster. Hopefully.

Sissy: Since nobody else reviewed me, that's all folks!

Aoi: That's it? Nothing more to say?

Sissy: Don't think so.
