CHAPTER FIFTEEN: FROZEN SMILE

"Stupid boy!" Mickey exclaimed, angered by Riku's impudence. He could feel the young boy digging into his mind and opening doors to his deepest thoughts. "You can't do this!" Before Mickey had a chance to knock Riku off his feet, his mind blanked out and he fell to his knees along with Riku.

"So it seems they have begun the battle of the minds," Aerith whispered to herself.

Riku stood before Mickey in another dark void, this time holding a long white sword. "It's time to fall!" he exclaimed as he bounded towards his enemy. Mickey was able to dodge Riku's hits, but took note of his increasing speed. If Riku continued that pace, he would eventually land a hit on Mickey and it would be all over. "You can't keep this up forever!" Riku snarled.

"Neither can you!" Mickey shot back, his words dripping in sarcasm.

"Bleh!"

"What do you plan to become once you defeat me?"

"I won't know until your gone."

Mickey couldn't believe he was being out done by his lowly successor, it was an outrage! He had to do something quick, or it'd be the end of his title, and pride.

-------------------------------------

Sora paced down the halls of his base and mumbled to himself occasionally. "Riku..." he'd repeat over and over.

"Sora?" came a soft voice from the hallways entrance. Sora turned to find Kairi standing there looking sad.

"What?" he asked in a hostile tone. He wasn't in the mood to talk to her.

"I'm just worried about you...Are you feeling okay?"

Then an idea hit Sora. "Kairi...How do you feel about Riku?" he asked curiously.

Kairi seemed surprised. She didn't know anymore, why was Sora asking her something silly. "Does it really matter?" she asked shyly and swung her head back and forth.

"It does," Sora replied. His tone was emotionless and his eyes cold with hate.

"I don't want you to kill him."

"Is that so?" Sora leaned against the wall and smiled at her coldly. "What if I did?"

"Then..." Kairi moved towards him and placed her hands on his chest. "I'd be sad, but I'd still stay with you."

Sora began to chuckle. He still had that cold creepy expression, and Kairi was beginning to have second thoughts. "You know what I just discovered...?"

"What?" Kairi mumbled as she leaned her head against his warm body. His words had become less cold and she felt more relaxed.

"I don't love you."

----------------------------------------

Wakka had told Cid everything and was feeling very dumb for it. He looked over at his friend who was asleep on the floor beside the counter. "He'll kill me when he wakes up," he mumbled sadly. "I just hope someone saves them before that..."

"Don't worry about anything," Cid laughed, trying to be reassuring. "He can stay here. I'll lock him up in the freezer or something."

Wakka stared down at the ground. "I'm not going back."

"What?" Cid was now confused. "You've been fighting for your friends and now you're gonna hide?"

"Yeah. I can't stand to show my face. Maybe they'll forget about me."

"Well..that's doubtful, but you can stay as long as you'd like."

Wakka smiled. This was exactly what he needed. A reliable adult friend, someone like Cid.

------------------------------------------

"Riku Riku Riku," Mickey chuckled as he circled the silver haired boy. "I'll give you one last chance to join me before my mind crushes yours. Think of all the power you'll have?"

"I can't have much power if I'm dead," Riku pointed out. "Isn't that right?"

Mickey smirked at the young boy. He wasn't stupid for a teenager. He'd actually thought that possessing Riku was going to be easy, since it started out that way.

"Have it your way," Mickey growled and a white sword identical to Riku's appeared in his hand and the two began fighting.

-------------------------------------------

"What are you saying?" Kairi asked in shock as she pulled away.

"I don't want you. You're pathetic love is only getting in the way of my emotions. You've become a problem. What do you not understand?" He asked coldly, smiling at the tears forming in her eyes. "Don't cry. You can still be near me if you'd like. However I will not return your feelings, they are meaningless to the new me."

------------------------------------------

Kairi ran. She ran away from the demon that her love had become as fast as she could. Tears sprung from her eyes as she kept telling herself it wasn't real, it was only a dream, he hadn't told her he was to busy for her love.

"This wasn't supposed to happen!" she sobbed to herself. When she stopped running she was surprised to find herself standing outside the cabin that belonged to her enemies. "Hello?" she called as she opened the door and let herself in. She came face to face with Cloud, Leon and Sephiroth.

"So the little monster decided to come here?" Cloud asked sounding hostile.

"Sora," Kairi began to sob. She was soon glomped by a very concerned Sephiroth.

"What are you doing Seph?" Leon exclaimed. "You don't go around hugging enemies!"

"Sora's evil!" Kairi sobbed causing all of them to look at her with pity. "He...Please, take me to Riku."

--------------------------------------

Riku knocked Mickey onto the ground and drove his sword through the Light Kings heart. "You will no longer haunt me," he mumbled in a daze.

In the real world, Mickey stood up and glared at the sleeping Riku. "Brat...I'll get you for this," he muttered. Before Aerith could grab him, he vanished without a trace.

"Ughh," Riku mumbled as he sat up and looked at Aerith. "Where is he?"

"Gone," Aerith answered.

"I see...I've defeated him."

"You have?" Aerith was curious now. "What are you going to do know?"

"Help Sora," Riku answered and began walking towards the exit. "I have become the twilight and nothing will stand in my way."
