( I had half of this written out and then it erased for some reason -- Balka computer.)
The gummi Ship flew through space as hour after hour passed by. Mickey had ordered everyone to get some rest while the opportunity was at hand, but all of them were on edge. Especially Riku who kept passing back and fourth in front of Leon until the gunner finally told him to sit down.
It wasn't long before all of them had crashed out throughout the ship and lay their sleeping…but their minds still wondered on about Sora.
(Music? "open your heart Reprise" from the .HackSign OST 2. )
Yuffie out of all of them lay curled up in her seat and her hands clenched into a fists as nightmares threatened her dreams. Nightmares of what might happen to her, Leon, and Everyone along with Sora.
"Sora.." suddenly her dream took a change to a memory. ( Yuffies dream)
Yuffie darted around the corner of the house and crouched down low with squirt gun in hand. She could here the shouts and cries of everyone in the front yard and smirked when their was suddenly a large scream which sounded a lot like Riku.
"Heh. Just What he deserves. Bragging about that stupid squirt gun."
Suddenly the plastic edge of a squirt gun rested against her head and her eyes widened.
"Gotcha."
With one quick swipe Yuffie had tripped her capture and shot at him wildly with her own gun until she stopped and realized the now soak and wet teen was none other then Sora. "OH!! SORA IM SORRY!!"
Sora:
Slowly he sat up and Yuffie helped him to his feet. He squeezed some of the water out of his shirt and his aqua eyes shone in the blaring sunlight as water dripped from one spike sagging over his left eye. "Its fine."
Suddenly their was a loud roar and both of them jumped as they seen shadows moving from the other corner of the house. The ninja panicked. "I don't have any ammo!"
The brunette smirked at her and sighed softly. "Here's a deal. I defend for you and you go hide. When the chance comes you run out and grab Rikus new squirt gun. Then we can both win this fight."
Yuffie blinked and smiled slightly as the keybearer smiled back at her with a glint in his eyes which meant he knew what he was doing. "O-okay." She ran and hid behind the nearby trash cans as fast as she could as the shadows came close and Riku, Tidus, and Leon were revealed. Riku had the biggest water gun of all along with a smirk to match it as his eyes fell on the brunette.
"So Sora...we finally meet."
" I'm going to take you down Riku."
"heh. Fat chance" he taunted as he loaded the gun and aimed it at Sora. The others fallowed suit.
But the keybearer didn't load his squirt gun. Instead he tossed it to the ground, raised his hand and summoned his Keyblade.
Rikus jaw dropped. "Wha- HEY NO FAIR!!"
"Actually I think it is" Sora smirked and with one swipe he had aimed the key at Riku and his minions and blasted them with the new water spell that Donald had just taught him "WATERAGA!!!"
All three boys went flying back and the squirt gun was knocked from Rikus hand. Yuffie seen her opportunity and without warning jumped from the shadows and grabbed it. "YES!!!"
At that exact moment Donald and Goofy had trudged soak and wet from the front yard and kairi had come walking up from the street Carrying her flute and music book back from flute lessons.
Yuffie and Sora gave high five and jumped up and down while Riku glared at him and pounded his fist on the ground.
"Good job Yuffie!!! We won!!" Soras eyes shined as bright as hers and for once he seemed almost like a little kid who had just gotten a new toy for Christmas. But his expression suddenly changed to that of love as his eyes fell on Kairi and he waved at her. "KAIRI OVER HERE!!"
She glanced up from her flute book and waved back laughing at the sight in front of her. Yuffie never forgot that time. A timewhen Sora seemed just like any average kid.
Leon who was sleeping in the seat next to Yuffie twitched slightly in his sleep as his mind also fought with the good and bad memories consuming him. But their was one unparticular which he would never forget. ( Leons dream)
Heartless appeared on either side of them as they stopped in the middle of the 2nd district of Traverse Town. Yuffie, Donald, and Goofy had leaped in without a word along with Leon but for a moment Sora stood their just staring out in to space. His eyes were half black and his hair blew ever so slightly in an unknown breeze of darkness.
"SORA!!"
He snapped back to life at Leons cry and took out his key blade and began to fight. The gunner began to have his doubts of ever bringing him back here after the incident he had just been through. Barely even four months had passed and barely any work had come to his healing. But it was to late now.
Leon smacked his gun blade on the ground and held it up at a near by heartless shooting flames at its black body. It shrieked in pain and disappeared but another heartless of a different sort took its place. Long black antennae's stuck out of its head and it stood almost as tall as Leon. Its yellow eyes formed into a glare as they stared at the gunner and it hissed threateningly.
Leon tried to take a step back but found that his body was paralyzed to the spot. Neither by fear or pain but by a force which rested within the beast in front of him. The thing leered back its ugly head and its claws grew long as it raised up and swiped down upon Leons body.
He shut his eyes tight bracing for the impact but one never came. Instead their was a loud ripping and squelching noise and then an inhuman shriek of pain. The gunner opened his eyes and seen Sora standing in front of him. His key blade raised and a giant gash from his face to the bottom of his right arm now resided across his body from the attack. The heartless hissed and spat at him like a cat and Leon rushed to Sora sighed. "You idiot!! Why did you get in the way!?"
Sora smirked and blood dripped from the start of the wound on his cheek and he wiped it off panting softly. "that's what friends are for right?" he said weakly. "After I zoned out back their I just wanted to make it up to you."
Leons heart softened slightly and he just stood their as he watched Sora take off after the heartless again and begin to beat the crap out of it. "Now I know why this kid was so important." he said smirking. "He's got guts and a heart all in one."
Away from Leon lay Donald with his head on the floor snoring and the rest of his body up in the gummi seatDespite his stubbornnessaround the keybearer he to once came to realize how important he was to the world. ( Donalds Dream)
Donald stood their glaring impatiently as Sora messed around and swung his key blade in a circular motion gazing at the sky.
"SORA ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING!?"
The keybearer was brought back to life by his feathery friends cry of rage and shrugged. "Yeah I'm listening."
"The king ordered me to teach you this water spell for future reference and I'm going to teach it to you even if it kills me."
"Which you admit it will" Sora smirked.
Donalds eyes glared with rage but he controlled himself. "Now once again, hold up your key blade and shout WATERAGA!!"
"Doesn't aga mean the highest level of a spell?"
"What your point?"
"Point is, why are you teaching me third level first?"
"Cause the king said."
Sora frowned. "Now there you go with ' the king said' business again. Why don't you do what you want?"
"Cause I obey and listen to my orders unlike some people."
The brunette glared. "Hey, just cause I didn't get here in time for lessons doesn't mean a thing. I was organizing my stuff."
"Yup. Like your gigantic yellow shoes?"
"At least I have shoes."
"THAT DOES IT!!" Donald raised his staff but Sora was quicker. With one swipe he raised his key blade. "WATERAGA!!" a jet of water shot out of the end and hit Donald smack in the face sending him flying back.
Soras eyes widened and he rushed to his friend aid bending over him. 'um…you okay? Sorry Donald." he said nervously. Slowly the duck sat up and glared at the brunette with red eyes which sent sora running at an extremely fast pass. He didn't underestimate the ducks temper for a minute. But as soon as he had started he suddenly tripped on the water and skidded face first across the training ground floor. Donald cracked up at the site and Sora rubbed his head frowning. "NOT funny…."
"Yes it was!"
Sora didn't say anything but instead smiled and crossed his arms staring at Donald. "You know I like messing with you right?"
The duck stopped. "What?"
"Its hard to talk to you these days so I like getting into situations like this. Besides we never exactly talked or said much during the journey. But I like you none the less." Slowly he stood up and walked over to the other side of the ground and stood waiting. "Alright, what's next that the king wants me to learn?"
Donald didn't answer but stared at the Keybearer as if he had never seen him before. Was what he said just true? this annoying teenager which he had been through so much with actually said something like a compliment?
Donald smirked and cleared his throat. "alright, next lesson it is."
Then beside Donald their was Goofy who was snoring more then anyone. Despite his goofiness he also had some memories of Soras friendship to him.
(Goofys dream)
Sora, Donald and goofy sat their in Halloween town enjoying the celebration. Now that they had sealed Kingdom hearts, Jack had invited them for a celebration and all three were sitting their slightly freaked out by the residents who had attended.
Sora sucked on a Popsicle which he had some how obtained from all the unusual food they had and looked over at Goofy and smirked. "No fair."
The dog looked up and blinked. "No fair what?"
"Your costumes scarier then mine."
"Garsh ya think so?"
"Better then Donalds." he said trying not to laugh. 'Looks like he got in a fight with a role of toilet paper."
The conversation came to a stop for a moment as Jack came by and chatted to Sora introducing him to all his friends which he disgustedly had to shake hands with ( try shaking hands with a guy who has fingers for snakes) and then went off to talk to Donald over by the food table.
Sora sighed and leaned back holding the end of the Popsicle in his mouth. "So what you miss from back home most?" he asked out of no where.
"Probably my son most of all."
"You have a son?"
"Sure do." he took a wallet out of his back pocket and removed a picture of a boy about Soras age who looked almost exactly like Goofy except a bit less goofier. He had a skateboard tucked under his arm and seemed to be standing in front of the Disney Castle. "His names Max. A bit of a trouble maker, but he pulls through."
"What does he think of you being the kings guard?" Sora asked quizzically.
"Oh, he gets mad about it sometimes. Stirs up a lot of trouble round the castle though. Shucks, I hate to think what he's gotten himself into now with me away."
Sora laughed and his face shadowed slightly. "I'd do anything to go back. I cant wait. Theirs so many people I miss and things I want to get on track with. But I still want to see you guys." he added smiling.
Goofy looked at him. "Ya mean it?"
'Sure I do! All for one and one for all right?"
The dog nodded "All for one and one for all."
Sora smiled and sucked on his Popsicle some more before taking it out of his mouth and staring at it. "What the-" from within the middle of the Popsicle what looked to be a human eyeball was staring back at him and then at Goofy. Their eyes widened and the brunette through the Popsicle down on the ground and ran away screaming with Goofy fallowing behind him.
Memories are said to be what keeps people believing and strong, as Mickey thought. He could sense the memories traveling through everyone's heads from the back of the ship as they slept and he closed his eyes softly. Each memory contained Sora. Every memory that mattered contained him for everyone cause he was something that was supposed to be remembered……… but for Riku and Kairi he knew it was a bit of a different story. For some times memories can be mixed with confused thoughts and created into a nightmare. Or in this case a message.
( Song change to "In the land of twilight, under the moon. From .hacksign OST 2)
Riku shifted slightly in his sleep and his hands clenched around his ears as if trying to block something out. His memories out of everyone's were more darker and painful then all of them put together.
(Rikus dream)
Darkness…no light...no memories… just pain and emptiness. That was all he felt. All he had felt. Before him stood Sora. No longer his friend but a careless puppet used by Maleficent as he had once been. His eyes glowed red and the edges of his spiked hair were black with color. He disappeared and without warning he felt the key blade being shoved into his back and he let out a cry of pain as warm blood dripped to the ground. He never wanted any of this to happen. "Sora…"
His friend ignored his cries and he went in to attack the silver haired teen again but as he shut his eyes tight bracing the impact, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to find the brunette frowning at him clad in a black shirt and blue jeans as he liked to wear these days. They were on the shores of Destiny island and no one else was in sight as the sun blazed up above. "Wha.."
"Riku.." his friend spoke calmly. "You know this isn't real. But you want it to be don't you?"
Rikus eyes dropped down and then looked back up at Sora almost helplessly. For the first time he noticed the large white wings spreading from his back. The feathers ruffled slightly in the warm breeze and Riku just stared in awe. "Sora…are you-"
"Dead? No." he finished for him. "I am far beyond that." As the words washed over the silver haired teen everything grew silently as if someone had turned the volume off from the world. A smirk spread across the brunettes face and without warning the feathers from his wings tour off and blew wildly around him. Black once quickly took its place and his aqua eyes turned a deep black as they turned to stare at his horrified friend. "You blinded me." he whispered.
"What?"
"You lied to me all these years and yet you yourself have pushed the darkness from your body!" he swiped his hand through the air and Riku felt himself fly back across the sand and skid against the nearby coconut tree. He barely had time to look up when Sora appeared right beside him and grabbed him by his shirt collar lifting him off the ground. His black eyes shone into his and he could sense hatred coursing throughout the keybearers body. "You lied to me, tricked me, and hurt me. I don't think I'm going to let you get away with that." A knife appeared in his free hand and Riku gulped as he watched his best friend raise it above his head. "But remember Riku." he hissed. "The only thing that's saving you now, is that none of this is real."
And with that the seen faded before him and he woke up with a start.
"AHHH!" Riku sat straight up and stared around at the gummiship coming back to reality. Cold sweat covered his whole body and he was panting heavily as if he had just run a mile. Fright and anger welled up deep inside his stomach until he felt as if hew as going to wretch. Why had he dreamed that? Wa… was Sora alright? A small cry came from beside him and he glanced over to see Kairi curled up in her chair with tears streaming down her face.
'Kairi….I'm sorry.' he thought sadly. Slowly he sunk back down in his chair grabbing his gameboy from underneath the seat and sat their playing glancing at Kairi every few second.
'If my nightmares were that bad…I wonder what she must be going through.'
( Kairis dream)
Darkness… it surrounded every side of her. She didn't know how long she had been sitting their covered in shadow crying. She was lost. The feeling of helplessness had once again consumed her. The same feeling she had experienced before. When she was without her heart.
"Sora…I promise I will find you. I didn't want any of this to happen to you…"
"Liar."
She turned around and found none other then Sora standing behind her. His eyes were as cold as ice yet burned with a fiery hatred she could not place as they stared at her. "S-Sora what…."
He held his key blade up to her neck and she immediately fell silent. Tears welled up in her eyes and poured down her cheek as she realized the position she was in. "Sora stop!!"
Their was a few moments of silence as they stood their and more tears fell down the teens face. But suddenly she felt herself lifted off her feet by some unknown force and then staring into Soras face. His features stood out perfectly but not as much as his eyes which she felt herself drowning in.
"Why did you lie to me?" He hissed almost soothingly.
"Sora…I would never lie to you."
"hmm…I knew you would say that." he rapped his arms around her and her breath caught in her throat. "But I don't believe you… and never will."
Kairi opened her mouth to speak but Sora pressed his lips against hers and she felt her body freeze. Coldness spread to her finger tips and without warning her boyfriend drew back his key blade and plunged it into her.
"I choose darkness…over light. Over you, over everyone." he told her as her body sunk to the floor in pain. With one last breath she stared up at the brunette with eyes full of shock and sarrow. "Sora….why?"
A smirk spread across his face and he raised the edge of her chin off the ground with his key blade. 'Cause its my true path. As it always will be."
