Ryu: ((Eating Pocky)) Hello!
EH: Well I'm now at chapter five...I never expected to get this far...actually my original intent was for this to be a one shot. Oh well, enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 5: Sleeping Desires
Riku's Pov
"Sora!" I yell as I jump off the rock and hug him.
"Riku, I thought I'd never see you again." I hear my brown haired angel say. "I found Kairi and some other people...but I felt empty."
I smile to myself and kiss him on the forehead, "I know."
Sora leans his head on my shoulder, "Riku." he mutters softly.
I run a hand through his brown hair.
"Well, I take it your Sora." a soft voice comes from a few feet away. Me and Sora break apart and turn in the direction of the voice.
"Ansem..." I says softly.
"Ansem?" Sora asks as he looks from me to the blonde and back. "Riku...what's going on?"
I place an arm around Sora's shoulder absently. "Yeah, this is Sora." I pause and glance at my confused angel. "Is there something you want Ansem?"
Ansem chuckles, "You do know this is a dream...right?"
I hear Sora gasps slightly, "What! What do you mean this is just a dream!"
"You both passed out...but yet somehow you both managed to find each other...this I find very intriguing." Ansem says as he puts a hand under his chin.
I feel Sora grab my arm tightly as if he was afraid.
"You okay?" I ask him softly.
"Yeah...it's just who is this guy?"
I know he's lying to me but I decide to ignore it for now, "His names' Ansem, he kinda saved my life earlier...before the heartless appeared."
"You know about the heartless!" Sora asks in a confused tone.
I nod slowly, (How does he know about them?). Sora opens his mouth but doesn't speak.
"You two really should hurry back." Ansem says as we both turn to him. "Riku…I won't be there when you awake...just stay with Sephiroth, until I return."
I slowly nod.
"Good...please to meet you Sora." Ansem says with a nod before vanishing.
Me and Sora are quiet for a few moments.
"Riku?" I hear my angel ask.
"Hmm?" I ask softly.
"Are we really dreaming?"
I stare at him wide eyed, "Sora..." I mutter as I turn away from him.
"Riku?" my angel asks again as he places a hand on my shoulder.
I feel a sting of pain in my head as Sora touches me, I place a hand to my head.
"You okay?" I hear Sora ask.
I slowly turn to him, "Sora..." I mutter as I take he's chin in my hand. "I love you." I then kiss him, I barely feel his lips against mine before all feeling vanishes and my brown haired angel disappears.
Tranverse Town
Kairi's Pov
"Sora...please wake up." I say softly, as I stare at the brown haired boy laying in the bed in front of me. "Wake up! Damnit!" I yell, getting to my feet. Tears start to fall down my face.
"Kairi?" I hear Yuffie say from behind me.
I slowly turn to her, "Yuffie, why hasn't he woken up yet?"
A smile slowly forms on her lips, she walks over to me. "He's probably just tired. Give him some time." Yuffie places a hand on my shoulder.
I burry my face into Yuffie's shoulder. "But, it's been three days! He should have woken up by now!" I yell, though my voice is muffled by her shirt.
"It'll be okay." I hear Yuffie say as she wraps her arms around me.
I continue to let the tears flow, losing my self in the comfort I'm receiving from Yuffie.
"Mmm...Riku..." I hear Sora say softly. I turn around to see him open his eyes and turn to me. "Hey, Kairi."
"You stupid idiot!" I yell as I hug him tightly. "You've been asleep for three days, and you wake up and just tell me 'hey'!"
Leon chuckles as he enters the room, with Donald and Goofy at his side. "Well, you finally decided to come back."
I let go of Sora as he sits up and looks at Leon. "Yeah..." he pauses and rests his chin on his knees. "But I would have preferred to stay...there forever."
I stare at Sora questionly as Leon walks over and sits down on the bed.
"It wasn't real." he says softly.
Sora's eyes widen, he gasps and looks up a Leon. "It was too real!" he pauses for a moment and looks away, "Or was it?"
Leon sighs, "Sora, it was just a dream...feeding off you inner most desires."
After a moment Sora moves past me and gets out of the bed, walking towards the balcony.
"Sora." I call after him, he ignores me.
Yuffie places a hand on my shoulder, "Let him be alone for a while."
I sigh before heading into the adjoining room and laying down on the bed. I fall into a deep sleep, not even noticing someone laying down next to me.
Hollow Bastion
Riku's Pov
I open my eyes to find a dark blue canopy above me. I sigh as I set up, upon looking around I see that I'm laying in a bed room. The room is decorated in a royal blue color with a golden trim around the top of the wall.
"Your up."
I jump and turn to see Sephiroth standing across the room from me.
"I didn't mean to scare you." he says as he walks toward the bed. "Are you feeling okay?"
I nod slowly, "Your names Sephiroth, right?"
The older silver haired boy smiles warmly, "Yeah." he walks over to the dresser and opens a drawer, "Sorry about earlier, me and Ansem don't exactly get along."
"Why not?"
Sephiroth pulls out a black shirt and a pair of black jeans, "Ansem is not the most trustworthy person." he then throws the clothes in front of me. "Don't trust him to much...your only end up getting hurt."
I open my mouth to speak but he interrupts me.
"Now get dressed, I'll be waiting out in the hallway." he then proceeds out the door, closing it behind him.
I stare at the clothes, lying in front of me for a few minutes, lost in thought. I sigh as I get up and start getting dressed. I brush my hair with a brush I find lying on the dresser. I then stop and stare at my reflection. "Dark circles..." I mutter as I rub the area under my eye. The sun set then catches my eye, I walk over to the window, pulling back the curtain. I smile softly, "Are you watching this my angel? Are we staring at the same sky?"
"Riku? What are you doing?"
I turn to see Sephiroth standing in the doorway.
"Sorry." I say quietly. "I was just thinking."
He smirks, "Well if your done then we need to get going." he leaves the room.
I groan then run after him, "Where are we going?" I ask, I still don't totally trust Sephiroth completely.
"Maleficent, asked my to go find the keybearer, and destroy him."
"Why do I have to go?" I ask not really interested in killing someone.
Sephiroth sighs, "Ansem asked my to watch out for you...so until he gets back you have to stay with me." "Oh.." I mutter as we head out into a courtyard. I glance around at the dead flowers. "I see that witch doesn't water flowers."
"That witch has a name you know, Maleficent."
I glare at Sephiroth, "Yeah. Whatever."
The silver haired boy laughs, "She has never really carried for flowers..." he pauses as his face hardens, "But even it she did, the heartless would destroy them before then even bloom."
I stare up at him in confusion, "What exactly are heartless?"
Sephiroth glances at me before looking back in front of him, "I'll explain on the way. " he finally says as we stop in front of a purple glowing circle, a few feet above the ground. "Just follow me...and whatever you do, don't let go of my hand." Sephiroth then grabs my hand tightly and steps into the circle before I can protest.
Wind rushes around me as I feel myself being pulled downwards. I close my eyes tight, trying to block everything out. My angel's face comes to my mind, "Sora." I mutter softly. "I'll find you again, I promise."
EH: Well, that was interesting...who was the person who laid down next to Kairi? I'll give a cookie to anyone who guesses it! Speaking of cookies...I owe Jenni Sunshine:Jenni Moonlight a cookie because she answered my other question that I asked in chapter 2. Let's give her a round of applause.
