Kit-Kat says:
"How dare u call me a lapdog!" Axel lashed out at an unsuspecting Riku, catching his cheekbone with his fist he quickly stop in realization and spoke. "He's here." looking confused for a moment Riku studied Axels action, his attention was completely diverted it was as if he was there any more. Thinking for a moment he quickly caught on. Diz wanted him inside. He didn't want him closer he wanted him away.
"Sora's here isn't he!" enraged voice directed at the taller form.
† Cerra † says:
Sora and Donald and Goofy climbed up all the stairs and burst through all the rooms. Sora was running ahead, full of excitement.
"Hurry up guys! Let's get this thing over with!"
Kit-Kat says:
Axel prepared his weapons, ready to fight if anyone emerged
† Cerra † says:
Soon Sora, Donald, and Goofy burst through the doors and stopped and stared at the red haired man
Kit-Kat says:
"NO! I won't let u hurt him!" he screamed as he tackled axel to the ground trying to pin his wrists to keep from an assault. An angry Axel quickly kicked the smaller boy off of him and with a swift punch to the stomach Riku had the wind knocked outta him quickly Axel slung Riku over his shoulder.
† Cerra † says:
Sora scowled and got his keyblade ready. "What do you think your doing! Let him go!" he shouted
Kit-Kat says:
"Love to stay and chat but we've got a date with destiny to attend to." with that Axel jumped off the tower, taking Riku with him.
† Cerra † says:
Sora ran towards the end and looked down. Looking back at Donald and goofy he pointed towards the door. "I'll meet you back at the inn! GO NOW!" he shouted and he jumped off the edge.
"SORA!" they yelled in union as the watched Sora plummet towards Axel and Riku.
Kit-Kat says:
Not liking where this was headed, Axel formed a quick fireball and aimed it straight for Sora.
† Cerra † says:
"SHIT!" Sora yelled as the fireball hit him and sent him flying in the different direction. Falling into an alley Axel heard the sickening crash of body against wooden crates.
Kit-Kat says:
Landing with ease he slightly laughed at fool who honestly thought he could do any thing about them leaving. He wanted to go mock the possibly dead keyblade master but rethought his actions as a shaky Riku began to come to.
† Cerra † says:
Meanwhile Sora slowly got up, leaning on one if the crates. "No... I'm not... ugh... done with you yet..." Sora slowly began to walk, using his keyblade as a sort of cane. It looked as it he broke his wrist and one of his ribs. It burnt like hell every time he took a breath and he lost feeling in his left foot. But persistently, he made his way out of the Alley. "Get back here..." But his body told him no. He collapsed to his knees and lay there in the empty street.
Kit-Kat says:
With another laugh he disappeared. Riku's sad eyes wandering to where the crash had sounded from within a moment they were both gone.
† Cerra † says:
Donald and goofy were wandering around the town trying to find the Inn... when they found Sora.
"SORA!" Donald shouted as he ran to Sora's side.
"Oh no, Sora!" Goofy was soon to follow. Goofy picked the poor keyblade master up and immediately they tried to find the nearest hospital.
Kit-Kat says:
Thrown down on his bed, Riku struggled against the restraints put on him. Each arm and leg bound to the end of each bedpost.
"Stop struggling, you're just going to hurt urself more."
"Not half as bad as it's gonna hurt after I get outta here and kick you're ass."
"You're in no position to be threatening anybody."
"Guys stop it" another figure entered the room.
"Axel, Diz wants to see you regarding... What happened earlier." rolling his eyes get got off and left but not before one final comment.
"You mean he want to congratulate me on destroying the keyblade master?"
"I SWARE AXEL!" Riku shouted but he was gone
† Cerra † says:
Meanwhile Goofy and Donald had found a small hospital and sent Sora to the operating room. There they waited patiently for the news.
Kit-Kat says:
"Calm down." blonde hair poked out slightly from a black hood "You know he's just trying to get to you... and being tied up here is for your own good." he reminded him so much of Sora.. God everything nowadays did but something about him just had the same air.
"You look just like him..." the blonde look surprised but getting to what Riku was thinking about he lifted off his hood. Somehow sensing he didn't want to be alone he lied down beside the platinum blonde and soaked in the silence.
† Cerra † says:
Eventually Donald and Goofy came into the room and looked over at the battered Sora. They both looked at each other. Donald was mad that Sora made them go off... but sad because no matter what he should've stayed by his side. Goofy only felt pity for Sora. He was so excited to find the keyhole... and now... he had to lie in a hospital bed till god knows when.
Donald and goofy stayed by his side for a couple of hours to watch him sleep peacefully. Shooed out by the nurse a couple moments later, they walked back to the inn and settled to sit there in silence. Waiting for they're little keyblade master to come out of commission.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Sora's eyelashes fluttered to reveal ocean blue eyes. "Where...? Where am I?" he mumbled, starring into the bright ceiling. "Oww..." he groaned as he scrunched up his nose. His body ached immensely. As is he was on fire and then dipped into freezing cold water.
Kit-Kat says:
Heavy eyelids lifted as Riku stretched his stiff body. Arms and legs no longer bound and a plate of food sat beside the mirror. Recalling what had happened earlier he quickly jumped in front of the mirror. "Show me Sora." he commanded but nothing came into view. Slight panic rose up within the teen 'he can't be dead.' more desperately and louder he shouted into the mirror gripping the frame.
"SHOW ME SORA!" an amused laugh came from the door way and Riku quickly turned to see who was approaching.
"I told you, he's dead." an amused grin working the redheads face.
"You're lying!" he shouted as a fist slammed into the center of the mirror causing shards to fly everywhere, several imbedded in Rikus hand. In shock the words sunk in just as he sank to his knees. He was alone. Totally and utterly alone.
† Cerra † says:
The kind nurse peered over at Sora and smiled. "Take it easy darling." She said.
"But it hurts..." he cried out.
"Shhh..." she hushed him and got out a needle. Sora lay there helpless as the needle stabbed his lightly tanned skin. "There we go. That will lessen the pain." She said, cleaning the blood from what the needle drew. Sora lay there and turned his head to find his keyblade.
"Please... can I... have..." he motioned towards his blade. The nurse just smiled sadly and shook her head.
"I'm afraid not Mr. Everheart. You're too weak right now. The hospital is a very safe place. Your blade will be fine."
"But you don't understand." He began to protest. He reached out for his blade like a small child. The nurse only shook her head and sat down beside Sora.
"Rest up first, Mr. Everheart." She commanded as she stroked his hair. He turned to look at her and gave her a tired glare. She got up and left Sora alone, hoping that he'd pass out anytime soon.
Kit-Kat says:
(im resorting to using pet names cuz I don't remember what the blonde haired kids name is -U BHK) Upon hearing the crash the BHK (oO weird saying that) made his way to Rikus room. Pushing himself past a snickering Axel he opened the door to meet empty sea green eyes. "Sora?" Riku questioned. Shaking his head he leant downward. The broken mirror and Axels snickering put a lot up on the table, he could have only guess what had happened, but he assumed anything he did guess would be accurate.
"Riku, let me see your hand" Riku didn't move. Lifting his hand he grabbed onto Riku's blood stained one. "Damn we need to get this patched up." a small sniff was heard and he could only lift his head to stare into empty eyes once more.
"H-he's gone..." eyes threatening to spill, "I'll n-never be able to keep my promise..." the BHK figured Axel had toyed with him, but not this badly.
"Riku, Sora is alive…" his words were soft and reassuring but Riku didn't buy it "…it's ok," he tired to calm himself down.
"I can take it... He's gone..."
"Snap outta it, Sora is alive and probably looking for you right now!" he didn't know who to believe. Who to trust. He just felt like a simple lost cause. The room fell silent all that could be heard was Axel's mocking laughter echoing through out the halls.
† Cerra † says:
Sora was starring into the ceiling still, thoughts buzzing through his head. He couldn't make sense with the words... so he spoke out loud.
"Why? Why did he run away? Fuck... this is just so fucked." He looked around the room, everything so white... but to him it seemed like death. "Riku... I was so close to you again... but... why are you with him? Who was he?" Sora put his right forearm over his eyes to shield them from the light. "Now I'm stuck in this place. My mission to find you... is put on hold. Just because I was an idiot and wasn't thinking fast enough! I could've blocked that attack!" Sora pounded into the bed with his broken wrist and cried out in pain. "Damn it... why am I so stupid?"
Tears spilled out of the corner of his eyes in frustration and pain. He felt like he just had to get out of there. He just had to go and find Riku. His body did not budge. The numbing sensation soon spread over his body as his eyes began to get heavy. "Damn that nurse..." he said as he fell asleep.
Kit-Kat says:
"Riku, you have to eat something" came a still voice from the door.
"I'm not hungry..." he stated. Eyes focused on the far wall.
"You haven't eaten anything in days, you're wasting away here."
"Good." the BHK slightly flinched at Riku's remark.
"You sound like a spoiled brat."
'Brat?' Riku thought… he often called Sora that back on the island. Eyes again became clouded with tears and all he could do was roll over. Realizing that he triggered something the BHK walked then sat next to Riku on the bed, not sure how to reach him. Slowly he lifted his hand and began to lightly rub the bruised back. That was all it took. Rolling over Riku clutched the BHK clothes and cried onto his chest. Years of suppressed angst flowed out in crystal droplets, soaking anything they came in contact with. The BHK knew he wasn't Sora. He could never be, but for his friends sake he was willing to pretend. The only real friend he had made since joining the stupid organization.
"Hush, Riku. I'm here now"
"S-Sora?" he questioned eyes still shimmering.
"Yea, it was all just a bad dream, just clam down and get some rest ok?" with a tired nod Riku lay once more upon the pillow. Wrapping an arm around his waist and one on his head he soothed Riku into an embrace and both fell fast asleep.
(oO sum Riku BHK action XD what do u get with a Sora look-a-like)
† Cerra † says:
(Lmfao! Awww... tis gunna hurt poor Sora's fweelings)
Sora stirred in his sleep, tossing and turning. He dreamt of Riku holding out his hand for him. Sora was running towards him but it was like he wasn't even moving at all.
"Riku! RIKU!" he yelled as stretched out his hands. Riku looked at him with a smile and turned around his back facing him. "Riku! No! Please don't go! Don't leave me here! Riku!"
"Jesus Sora... your such a brat." Riku said.
The Riku in his dreams began to chuckle and walk away. Sora ended up tripping and skidding on the ground. "Riku!" She screamed as tears gathered in his eyes. His dream Riku faded away and everything went black. Sora looked around frantically. Fear shone in his eyes as he crawled around looking for Riku.
"Riku... I'm lost without you. I'm swallowed by this emptiness that I've grown fond of. Pain is all I can feel when I think of you. I can't get you out of my thoughts... my dreams. My world revolves around you... and it's falling apart. I build myself a false hope... in order to survive... but I'm only killing myself more and more. Riku... I... I..."
"I think I... no... I know that I... I love you..."
Sora had told the world his feelings. His dream was always a gate into his mind. The air engulfed the words and sung them back to him. Whispering and carrying it like a fairy tale. It echoed in the room... until it found a way to escape through the open window, and into the night of twilight town.
Kit-Kat says:
Morning soon broke over the horizon as the words echoed in Rikus mind ' I love you' mumbling slightly.
"Sora I-"
"Yea?" the voice startled him and he opened his eyes.
"I… never mind…" looking at him a little concerned, the BHK offered an apology.
"Hey Riku, about last night... I'm sry I called you a brat and all." Riku shook his head and replied. "No... I used to say stuff like that to you back on the island all the time... besides it was kinda childish to think that you were gone... I deserved it." bringing the BHK into a tight embrace he spoke again. "I really need some fresh air... do u think it would be ok if we went out for a walk?" "Sure."
† Cerra † says:
Meanwhile Donald and goofy got their things ready and began to head over towards the hospital
Of course they forgot where it is after 15 minutes of searching and decided to ask the commoners to its whereabouts.
Donald and goofy finally found the hospital but stopped at the doors.
Goofy: "Do you think he's awake?" He asked.
"Well... if he isn't... then I guess it doesn't really matter."
"He could use the rest."
"Yea... well... what are we waiting for...?"
Kit-Kat says:
Slowly stepping out into the day air Riku took a deep breath and inhaled the fresh air of the small town. He felt great. Despite the fact that he hadn't eaten in days with little water to satisfy himself his head completely ignored his body's warning of a complete shutdown. Walking alongside -Sora- (HA) he finally felt at home. It wasn't home, but it felt like it.
† Cerra † says:
(lmao)
Kit-Kat says:
(well he thinks the BHK is Sora lol)
† Cerra † says:
As Riku walked though, he saw Donald and Goofy discussing something with very sad looks on their faces. They looked overly depressed, and somewhat agitated.
Kit-Kat says:
Quickly grabbing a hold of the BHK hand he led them away from where he saw the other two. Not wanting them to take up and of his one on one time with -Sora-.
† Cerra † says:
But out of the corner of Donald's eye he saw Riku try and sneak of. He squawked loudly as he marched off towards Riku, and hitting him in the back of the head with his wand. Goody followed suite.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING YOU LITTLE PUNK!" Donald screamed," IT'S YOUR ENTIRE FAULT!"
Kit-Kat says:
Pulling Riku behind him the BHK yelled out at the ranting duck. "What the hell? He never did anything to you get lost!" Riku was at a loss of words. -Sora- just scolded one of his best friends, for his sake! Though he still didn't have any idea as to why the duck would lash out at him.
† Cerra † says:
Donald ignored the BHK and pointed his staff towards Riku. "IT'S YOUR FAULT OUR SORA'S IN THE HOSPITAL YOU LOATHSOME CREEP, YOU!"
Kit-Kat says:
"What are you talking about! Sora's right here!" he screamed not quiet sure how to react to the delusional duck. The BHK realizing that he might have been found out grabbed Riku's arm and dragged him as he tried to run away. "He's gone insane make a run for it!"
† Cerra † says:
But Donald didn't want to lose him that fast. Both him and goofy chased after them, Donald firing all sorts of magic at them. He sent a fireball towards the BHK and hit him in the back of the head.
Kit-Kat says:
Falling flat on the ground, Riku skid to a stop a leaned down to help his fallen friend. "What the hell is wrong with you!" he screamed.
† Cerra † says:
Goofy walked over to Riku and placed his hands on his shoulders, stepping before Donald so Donald wouldn't try anything rational. "Riku..." Goofy began as he looked deep into his sea green eyes. "The Sora that you think is right here... isn't Sora Riku..." he said trying to comfort. He took the dizzy BHK and helped him to his feet. "Riku... take a good look..." he told him.
Goofy shoved the BHK to Riku's face but not harshly. Donald only starred at them and glared.
Kit-Kat says:
"You're wrong!" he shouted wrapping his arms around the BHK pulling him away from the other two. "You're just like everyone else trying to keep me away from him!" darkness rose once more inside of him. He changed. Eyes ringed with anger and hatred he summoned his sword and aimed it straight at goofy's face. "I won't let you take him away from me again..."
† Cerra † says:
Donald had about enough of Riku's stubborn attitude and illusions. He grabbed Riku by the collar and began to drag him off towards the hospital. Goofy gave the BHK a piggy back, following the very pessimistic duck and the delusional Riku. Donald dragged Riku on the ground as he listened to him cursing and failing about. But once they got to Sora's room, Donald threw the teen in and slammed the door
Goofy: "Uhhh... Donald?"
"Yea? What do you want?"
"Do you think that's a good idea?"
"Something has to make that boy remember. Jesus... what a big palooka..." Donald said as he gave the BHK a potion.
Kit-Kat says:
"LET HIM GO!" he screamed flailing his arms in an attempt to get free. "WHERE ARE YOU TAKING US! I SAID LET HIM GO!"
† Cerra † says:
The injured Sora murmured of the sound of someone yelling angrily. Slowly opening his eyes, pain shot through his arm and leg and he gasped for air. "Oww!" He cried in pain.
Kit-Kat says:
Taking in the room within the hospital Riku looked wildly about. He looked nervous, like a caged animal just trying to plan an escape.
† Cerra † says:
Sora's breathing was deep and heavy and labored. He knew that someone else was in the room, but he was in too much pain. "Owwie... it hurts... it hurts all over.." he complained as he tried to turn to a comfortable position.
Kit-Kat says:
Hearing the painful cries of the figure on the bed Riku slowly looked up. "W-who's that?" he asked.
† Cerra † says:
Sora bit his lower lip to try and make pain somewhere else on his body. An attempt to try and numb the burning sensation of his body. Sora turned back over painfully and bit harder, drawing blood to his soft pink lips. It didn't take long for him to recognize who it was though. "Ri... Riku?" he spoke hoarsely.
Kit-Kat says:
Riku backed up into a wall. Who was this kid... and how did he know his name. "How do u know my name?" The BHK looked hurt, he knew there reunion was inevitable but he was enjoying his time spent with the silver haired wonder. Speaking to the BHK Riku spoke once more. "Sora, I want to leave…"
† Cerra † says:
The real Sora looked confused and hurt. "Riku... what do you mean?" he asked, his voice full of sorrow.
'Please say it isn't so... Please say that he hasn't replaced me. Oh god I don't want my adventure to end like this. What the hell did they do to him? Why? Riku...' he thought.
Kit-Kat says:
"Stop talking to me! I don't even know you!" helping the BHK to his feet he took his hand and reached for the door.
† Cerra † says:
"No please Riku, wait!" Sora reached for Riku pleadingly. He sat up in a great amount of pain but the pain that he felt in his heart was 100x stronger. Sora jumped out of the bed and landed on his band ankle, falling to the ground.
Donald: "Sora!" Donald went to go aid his friend but Sora just crawled over to Riku.
"Riku please don't leave me again! You promised!" he cried.
Tears spilled out of Sora's eyes. A large lump in his throat formed and he tried to keep back from choking on it and bawling.
Kit-Kat says:
Staring at the youth with what could only be explained as pure confusion Riku couldn't pull his eyes away.
The BHK knew that he should have never gotten involved any further then the organization had taken him into the lives of the two before him in utter chaos. But that was it, he had made this personal, forgot about the needs of the group. Riku should have never re-met up with Sora; he shouldn't be here right now. Considering the regrets but soon outweighed them the BHK pushed Sora away and told Riku to run for it, quickly following behind.
Kit-Kat says:
(poor Sora)
† Cerra † says:
(aww... what a bastard) Sora huddled close to himself and held onto his stomach from where the BHK pushed him away. Donald was just about to go after them when goofy held out his shield to stop him. Goofy looked over at Donald and then back over at Sora. Sora lay there and cried. He sobbed, wept, and hiccupped, just everything. Goofy and Donald helped Sora back onto the bed and shamefully left the room.
Sora just lay there and cried loud and hard. Once his choked out his last sob he starred out into the Window. "Riku... how could you? You broke our promise... You broke your promise to me. And... I'll never forgive you Riku..." he slowly got up and walked towards the open window. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth. "I HATE YOU RIKU!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, letting it all echo thru the city.
Sora slumped to the ground and continued to bawl even hard. "Why did I just say that? I know... that I'll never be able to let go of you Riku..."
'Falling into this insecurity I call home, shattered by your words... I am forgotten...'
Kit-Kat says:
A scream was heard behind them though they couldn't hear the words that were said they continued running all the way up to the gates of where they had left not so long ago. Riku had not yet changed out of his dark mode and with energy passed spent he collapsed reverting back to normal. "Riku!" the BHK called as he grabbed Riku before he hit the ground. Eyes closed and temperatures soaring the BHK brought him back to his room.
THE END
