Ryu: ((sleeping))
EH: Also at the end of this chapter there is a -normal- 'sign' that just means that it's nobody in particular's pov. Enjoy!
Chapter 4 Castles, doors, and restaurants
- Sora's Pov -
I feel something licking my face. "Ugh..." I open my eyes to see a big yellow dog. "Wha!"
"Pluto!" a 'standing' dog yells as him and a duck come around the corner. The both stop and stare at me as I do to them.
"What the hell!" I yell, jumping to my feet and backing up a few steps. The two figures step towards me, "Stay back!"
"Sora, calm down." I hear Kairi say softly.
"Ka...Kairi?" I ask looking around and finally realize that I'm not on the island. Kairi walks up behind the two creatures, an older man with brown hair and a young girl with black hair and a yellow bandana across her forehead are with her. "Kairi?" I ask again.
"Hello Sora." she says, smiling happily. I sigh and run over to her, hugging her.
"Is this the man your looking for?" the brown hair man asks.
Kairi pulls away from me and turns to the others, "Yes, Leon." she turns back to me, "The guy is Leon, the girl's Yuffie, the duck is Donald, and the dog is Goofy."
"Uh...huh..." I mutter looking at them, "Kairi..."
Kairi turns to me, "Yes, what is it Sora?"
I put a hand to my chest, "Where's Riku?"
Kairi opens her mouth but closes it again.
"You guys must be starved, let's get something to eat!" Leon suggests as he stears us all towards a building. I reluctantly follow, despite the nagging feeling of my heart.
- Riku's Pov -
(Where am I? My head hurts...) I slowly open my eyes and look around, not lifting my head. (Stained glass? Am I in a church?) I ask myself as I see one of the windows. (Voices?) I hear two people talking, a woman and the other I recognize as Ansem's voice. I strain my ears to listen.
"You were sent there to get information on the door! And now the world is gone, plus you brought back some kid!" I hear the woman yell at Ansem.
"Look, there was a miss calculation...plus that boy isn't exactly normal." I hear Ansem say.
"What? What do you mean exactly normal?"
I hear Ansem chuckle, "That boy...is well, was the keyblade master." I hear the woman gasp.
"The keyblade master...that little kid! Hah!" the woman says, I can't sit still any longer much less control my anger. I jump up, landing on my feet.
"I'm not a kid!" I yell. Ansem and the woman turn to me. I can't help but stare at the woman, she has light green skin and horns sticking out of her head. "Um...I ah..."
"It's about time you woke up." Ansem says smiling at me.
I shift my gaze from the lady to Ansem. "Where are we?"
"Hollow Bastion, now if you would be so kind to leave the two of us alone..." the woman says in a iterated voice.
"Now, Maleficent no need to be so mean." Ansem says, glaring at the woman.
"Look, boy don't question me!" Maleficent yells back. As the two continue fighting, I start to walk around the room. I stop at the top of the stairs, in front of a huge heart shaped hole.
(This is new...) I walk closer to it, (What is it?).
"That is a doorway." I hear Ansem say almost as if he had read my mind, as he tops the stairs.
I shake off the mind reading thought and turn to him, "A doorway...you mean like the one we came through!"
Ansem shakes his head as he walks over to me, "Sort of...but this door is not for passing through."
"Then what's it for?" I ask curiously. Ansem turns away from me and towards the door.
"When did you get back?" A cold voice comes from behind us, I turn around to see a man of around twenty with long sliver hair and sea blue eyes, similar to my own. "A kid?"
"I'm not a kid!" I yell about ready to punch something. I feel a hand on my shoulder, I turn my head to see Ansem is standing behind me.
"Do you want something Sephiroth?" Ansem mutters, glaring to the other man.
"I just heard you were back...but I didn't hear about your souvenir..."
"Look, who the hell do you think you are!" I yell at Sephiroth, (Why am I so angry? Huh?) I place a hand over my chest, (Why does it hurt?) "Ugh..." I mutter, falling to my knees.
"Riku?" I hear Ansem say. I feel myself fall to the side. Someone catches me, I take it to be Ansem...but I can't be for sure. I hear Ansem calling my name over and over, but I soon black out from the pain in my chest...my heart.
- Sora's Pov -
"So you guys are saying that those shadow things are heartless and that this thing," I mutter motioning to the sword in my hand, "is the keyblade?"
Leon nods as he takes a bite of pizza, "Yeah..."
"So do you get everything, Sora?" Kairi who is next to me, asks.
( Why does my chest hurt like this? ) I think, lost in my own thoughts.
"Sora?" Kairi asks, nudging my shoulder a little. This brings me out of thinking.
"You okay?" Yuffie asks from across the table.
I nod slowly and take deep breath. "Kairi you never answered my question."
Kairi takes a sip of her drink then slowly sits it down and turns to me, "What question?"
I glance at her, "Where's Riku?" Kairi glances off to the side, "You know something, don't you?" I say in a fairly loud voice. Kairi whimpers slightly at this.
"Sora there's no need to get so worked up." Leon says calmly.
I ignore Leon's advice, (What's going on?) I put a hand on my chest, "Wha the?" I place a hand on Kairi's shoulder.
"Sora?" I hear Kairi ask in a worried tone.
"My chest..." I manage to say softly. I feel two arms wrap around me, and despite my doubts I fall into them.
"Leon, what do we do?" I hear Yuffie say. I hear Kairi call my name but for some reason I can't answer. I feel myself fall into a deep sleep.
- Normal pov-
Sora opens his eyes to find himself in a white void, he gets to his feet. "I must be dreaming..." he mutters as he looks around. Sora sees a ocean and a figure sitting on some rocks by the ocean. (Who's that?) he thinks to himself. As Sora gets closer to the figure he breaks into a run not knowing why. The figure turns to look at Sora, revealing that he has sea blue eyes.
"Sora?" the figure asks softly.
Sora stops running and stares at the figure, "Riku..." he mutters softly in disbelief.
EH: I love cliffhangers! Ok I think that this isn't one of my best chapters but you guys tell me. What do you guys think? Also are any of the characters OOC? Plus there is a reason behind Ansem's appearance and attitude...((snickers)) But that will come later...
Ryu: ((Sleeping))
EH: Okay then since my helper is sleeping I'll leave you guys alone now. Please review!
