Axelis going to be so pissed when he realizes I stole his quote... Or was that Marluxia? Ah, who cares; the dimwit had his hood up and lost all claim to the quote. Hah!

This was a over-random conversation that built as my pencil moved across the page. I was doodling on a piece on paper, and actually managed an okay picture (I totally suck at drawing). After staring at it for a second, I started writing a script for it. Like previous stuff, it is meant to co-exist with my chapter story, but only with like-minded plots. It's slightly different than the one for my main story, but the idea is the same.

My character's Organization name is 'Darkness' (Yeah...unoriginal...Bite me) and in this scene, she's- ah hell, just read it. Riku's just discovered who she really is.

Dedication: DW. She wrote a similar type scene and showed it to me, and I see a lot of connections between the two. She wrote hers first and mine's completely different in atmosphere, characters and it was written on a whim, but they still seem to relate to one another.

I tried so hard to block your face from my thoughts and your kiss from my heart...if only for your own protection. But you wouldn't allow that to complete... And now, I face a decision I wouldn't wish on anyone...

To Find is to Lose

"Misty...? B-But...But why...?"

"I'm sorry, Riku...I have no choice..."

"...What?"

"I warned you to stay away from me...I...warned you..."

"...Misty..."

"I am 'Darkness'...and I'm under orders to kill...anyone...who opposes Lord Ansem--"

"Lord Ansem!"

"I begged him to re-assign me...but...he wants proof...proof of my loyalty..."

"Your loyalty...?"

"I'm sorry..."

"What the hell do you mean? Your Loyalty!"

"I'm a product of the darkness...created by the shadows in people's hearts... My existence... My entity... My..."heart"... I belong to them..."

"Misty!"

"My memories... My life... My Death... all property of them..."

"...You..."

"You have no idea how many times I've begged for death...pleaded for them to take away this hateful existence..."

"Misty..."

"I am their servant...in life...and death... They have commanded your elimination and I have no choice...but to comply..."

"You'll kill me...? After everything we've been through, you'll kill me!"

"Those memories don't belong to me... And once Ansem found me again, they became nothing..."

"...N-Nothing...? They...mean...nothing!"

"...No...not to me... They...They mean everything... But my 'feelings' don't mean a damn thing here..."

"And what of me?"

"Just like those memories...my 'feelings' on the matter don't mean a thing..."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"...I'm sorry...Riku...but this is where we say...good...bye..."

"...I...love...you..."

"I wish you didn't... It would be so much easier...for the both of us."
