Chapter 6 - A Old Foe

"Ha, ha, ha, ha..."

Turned to ask what was funny, but faced no one. I search around, but soon turned to leave again, thinking that I was hearing things. I had only gotten a few steps, when I heard the snicker again, but this time it was louder, and closer...

I couldn't see it, but I heard it. I reacted quickly as I pulled out my Soul Eater to block the sword on my left. The wielder locked our swords for only a second, before they flipped high over me, landing several feet behind me. I spun around fast to face my attacker, only to face a man slightly older than myself standing there. He wore an outfit similar to my own, and held a long black blade swallow with a dark gold staff handle.

I knew from the first glance, who he was. Although his appearance had changed greatly. His once neatly smoothed hair was now longer and more ragged, as though he had never fully recovered from the immense battle and end to his reign. His grayish white hair came to about lower back length, but grew whiter the further down it went. He also appeared far younger than when I last saw him, nearly 4 or 5 years ago. Funny how thoughts you wanted to forget, suddenly return to your memory when in danger. Although his outer physical appearance had greatly changed, his inner soul... no, his heart itself had the same evil presence of Darkness as before.

Dread ensnared me as his bright orangish-yellow eye's seemed to look straight into my heart. His insanely familiar smile creped across his face as he spoke. "Riku... It's been almost five years now... Your powers have grown greatly..." He just can't seem to stop thinking about power for just a few minutes, can he? "Why don't you come back to the eternal Darkness with me? We could rule all together as partners with our power!" Guess he can't. I shook off the fear that held me and responded. "Never! I'll never become a puppet of the Darkness, let alone make the same mistakes again, Ansem!" It felt good to yell at him, I had been too confused when I was younger to even make a small argument. I released some of the anger I had bottled up by yelling it out loud and strong. "Riku... You can make this easy or hard... It's rare for a person to be born with such powers... It would be a shame to waste such talent... I'll give you one more chance... Come back with me! Become the Darkness once more!" His face grew more twisted and insane, if it was even possible, and he seemed to glow with a strange blackish blue aura of pure Darkness.

"Aren't you a ball of sunshine, today?" I said in a cocky manner. "You know, it's so ironic for a villain to arrive at midnight. How old school can you get, Ansem?"A smirk fell across my face as I stood my ground. Ansem's face grew sharp in anger of my insult about his power of the Darkness. The aura around him grew larger and darker, slowly, but fast enough to be noticed. Although I was still smiling at my smart arse comment, deep inside, I was scared to death of the power he was emitting.
