Me: All right world, throw books at me, throw lawn chairs, heck, throw your wallets with bricks attached with rubber bands! I deserve it!
Wish: (throws all of the above)
Sora: Yeah, but go easy on her by filling your wallets with cash. She's a freshman in High School now so these last few months have been insane for her.
Wish: Bull shit. I've been through the same things, and I update regularly!
Me: Increase of homework, swim season, marching band, ect, ect. Hell, its a lot of work. But I'm determined to finish this. Sad thing is, a lot of stuff I had planned to put into this story wont be put in do to time. I want to finish this story and end it with an impact, but not rushed. If I put anything else in it would make it even longer and I probably would never get to finish it. So I promise you a good story, not rushed, but good. With a great ending. So I can move on to other things.
I hope you enjoy!
NOW READ!
Beginning
Sora staggered through the doors of the monster of a building, clutching his right arm in agony. He had been through worse over the last few days but with his last few flames of anger dieing down, he felt like doing nothing but falling flat on the ground and letting the pain drag him into an endless sleep. Hoping that everything would just turn out to be a dream.
"This is one nightmare I can't escape…" he told himself even though his mind was screaming to deny it. He had been hurt beyond his imagination and there was still more to come.
And in the very core of his heart he felt the one thing that would become his downfall.
Fear.
Sora put a shaking hand to his head and brushed his bangs out of his sparkling blue eyes. Yet he doubted they were sparkling anymore. Everything they had seen gave them no reason to sparkle. Especially the small, blank hallway he had just walked into.
There were no pictures. No windows, no scenery of any kind. Just a long stretch of two white walls, a white floor, and a ceiling with ordinary lights. The only thing out of the ordinary was two banged up, metal doors at the other end.
Sora felt his eyes dilate at the brightness originating from all the white and rubbed them gingerly. The designer of this place had a real sense of humor. Who would go through all the trouble of putting in golden doors for the entrance of a building and then making the inside look like it belonged in an asylum?
"Probably to draw people in," Sora muttered under his breath, realizing how stupid it was to have walked into this place. To make matters worse, all his friends were in here too and were probably getting into just as much trouble as Riku.
"Great job Sora!" he shouted in frustration as he began storming down the hall, wings fluttering in his wake. He had avoided talking to himself for as long as possible, but considering there was no other way to let his anger out, this seemed the safest at the moment.
"What a GREAT hero you are. You led your friends right into a death trap and who knows what! You'll get a gold star for this when all this is ov- WHAT THE HELL?" The brunette stopped in his tracks with the handle of the metal door clutched in his gloved hand and the other swinging uselessly to his side. He had flung open the door only to find himself staring into an exact replica of Hallow Bastion's entrance hall.
He stood gapping for several long minutes taking in the scenery as he had the white hallway. The same flickering torches lined the walls of the second floor which could only be reached through the library. The two way staircase spilled out onto the marble floor leading to the upper level where a single open door Sora remembered, led to the lift stop. Looming up above was the crystal chained platform which used to hold one of the puzzle pieces to open the lift stop passage. The only sound that could be heard was the beating of Sora' s heart and the splash of water from the stone fountain centered between the split in the stairwell.
The spirit rubbed his eyes frantically hoping it was just a hallucination. Why in God's name would Hallow Bastion be here? Inside an office building?
The contents of Sora' s stomach threatened to rise up into his throat but he forced it down with a shuddering gulp. He was clearly going insane. Had Kairi and the others seen this? Or was this just an illusion set up especially for him?
"Master of illusion…" Sora mumbled remembering the gruesome nightmare which had seemed so god damn real that Jenza implanted in his mind.
"Damn it…"
With a deep intake of breath, he stuck one foot out onto the marble floor. The rubber of his tennis-shoe clapped dully on the solid surface slicing through the silence which was driving Sora even further out of his mind. Assuming it was safe, he strolled briskly into the familiar room feeling old memories slap him across the face as he skimmed his surroundings once again.
Out of all the worlds he had visited, why this one?
He halted in the middle of the room wondering which door he should take. Would it lead him to more of Hallow Bastion, or to the depths of the twisted building he had originally entered?
"Well don't I have a large variety of choices" Sora mumbled darkly, taking an unsuccessful stab at sarcasm. He was starting to get worried. If Kairi and the others had gotten into trouble, would they be able to manage? Plus, Jenza was still lurking about.
"I think, I'll go through the library door."
The brunette turned on his heels sharply causing a large screech to shoot through the air from the friction of his rubber shoes on the smooth marble floor.
He gritted his teeth in annoyance. "Damn sh-huh?"
The sound of a door slamming from above met his ears and he glanced up to see a flash of silver hair disappear behind a pillar.
Sora grinned. "HEY RIKU!"
He heard the sound of his friends footsteps falter and leave an eerie silence in its wake. The brunette ran frantically up the stairwell to get a better view only to find Riku's gaze already upon him.
Sora opened his mouth to speak but closed it when he realized his friends gaze wasn't all that friendly. His emerald orbs dug into him with a coldness he hadn't seen in years.
Four years to be exact.
" R-Riku what's wrong?" he stuttered starting to feel very uncomfortable. A small warmth spread down his injured arm to the tips of his fingers announcing the arrival of his Keyblade. Sure enough he felt his hand clasp over the base of the handle and the split bones in his arm snap back together with a painful crack.
"AH!" Sora staggered, keeping his eyes locked on Riku who had just walked up to the edge of the balcony to leer at him.
"I didn't think you'd come Sora." He spoke with a hint of a sneer. The brunette stretched his arm out lazily, moving it from side to side to make sure it was in working order. This new heart Keyblade had its uses.
"What do you mean you didn't think I would come?" he asked heatedly. "When you didn't come with the others I thought something had happened to you." He smiled, pushing his anger down with relief. "But I'm still happy you kept your promise."
Riku stared him down and it took a moment for Sora to notice the darkness dancing in his sea-green eyes. Like the shadow of a flame, it flickered to the surface sending vibes of hatred plummeting through the brunette's body. This was a hatred he hadn't felt in a very long time, and hoped to keep it that way.
And that's when he realized, this was the old Riku.
The Riku that betrayed him and was consumed by the darkness.
"Shit," Sora cursed dimly under his breath as his friend unsheathed his blade and leapt into the air with a cry of rage.
Sora flung himself to the side using his wings to brace himself from hitting the floor. He swung his Keyblade up blindly to meet the rushing force of Riku's soul eater with seconds to spare. With a cry, he pushed it away gaining enough time to roll to his feet and stand his guard. The memory wasted no time in blasting its attacks. The exact same attacks Sora remember so well, but were so distant.
Despite knowing all of Riku's moves, it didn't mean the battle didn't have an effect on him. He could feel the resistance in his movements and footing as he swung mercifully at the replica of his best friend. He remembered the hurt of being betrayed. The gnawing feeling which had ate away at him from the moment he had failed in taking Riku's hand. The stupidity which he felt despite being on the right side of everything. It almost made him feel like it was all his fault Riku became what he was.
'But Riku came back, didn't he?' he screamed at himself as he brought the sharp edge of his key sinking into the flesh of the image and drew it back swiftly. No blood ran from the wound or coated the shiny edge of his weapon. The fake Riku staggered back, the hatred in his eyes flashing for a moment like a glitch upon a screen. Sora hesitated for a split second, thinking over his actions. The answer to his previous question slowly sinking in.
'Yes, Riku came back. And so did you.'
"Sora!" Riku regained himself quickly, lunging toward the blue eyed spirit. But he had barely taken a step forward before a strange clinking sound shot through the air and Sora's Keyblade was found plunged through the skin of his chest and out his back driven up to the hilt. "I'm sorry…" Sora whispered, keeping his eyes lowered to avoid the look of shock and terror among the illusions face. "But I'm sick of being tricked! AND SICK OF PEOPLE MESSING WITH MY HEART!" he wrenched the Key from the illusion's body and the image froze in place, its look of horror fading in and out causing Sora to wince slightly. Its fake green eyes seemed to bore into his as they had years before. He said he was sick of being tricked, and that was true. But if Jenza knew that, stupid illusions such as this were becoming his weak point, he was screwed.
The illusion Riku shattered suddenly, breaking into tiny pieces of fractured light and fading through the floor at Sora's feet. He flapped his wings in childish irritation at how something that he had just wasted time fighting could just disappear so simply into the floor.
And then he took notice of the calmness in his wing and bent it over in front of him to examine where the knife had pierced him earlier. The area was completely healed except for a few bent and blood stained feathers.
He raised an eyebrow at this and felt the small warmth spreading through the fingertips of his right hand in which his Keyblade was held. Damn, the thing was useful.
'I wonder if it can help me get out of here' he wondered, surveying the hall carefully. He didn't trust any of the doors, especially the one leading to the lift stop. He was done with this little game and wanted to find the others as soon as possible.
Sora began by trying to get out the way he had entered, but the door wouldn't open even with the help of his key. He tried the library door, the side doors, even behind the fountain in case Jenza messed up the illusion to spite him for his own sick enjoyment.
The brunette stuck out his lower lip out of habit as he paced back and fourth in front of the trickling fountain. His shoes squeaked harder and louder against the marble floor in the process and out of irritation he chose to let out his frustrations by slammed his foot down HARD onto the ground and stomped into the middle of the room childishly with the ear splitting squeaks echoing in his wake.
GOD! DAMN! NO! GOOD..SHOES!"
When he was directly under the giant pedestal in the center of the room, he pushed off the ground with his feet fiercely, jumping up into the air and landed with what he expected to be a big giant squeak.
But no sound came.
Sora's face slowly formed into a cute look of puzzlement and he rubbed the sole of his shoe back and fourth over the section of floor which was shadowed by the chandelier.
Once again, no sound.
Sora circled slowly around the silent area tapping his foot in different places. The ground felt slightly different under the shadow. "I think I found the way out." he announced with a smile.
The brunette took several steps forward until he was in the center of the looming shadow and jammed the tip of his Keyblade into the floor with a loud 'CLANK!'
It was as if a giant baseball had suddenly slammed through seven feet of nothing but glass window. Spider web like cracks began weaving there way through the floor from the point where Sora's weapon stood sticking out of the darkened marble. It spread up the black stairs and made its way up the walls and pedestals. Through the designed structure of the fountain and all the way up to the ceiling and down the looming platform. A gust of wind swept through Sora's hair out of know where and his heart skipped a beat.
Maybe he wasn't supposed to do that.
"Crap."
With quick thinking, he flew himself flat across the floor as a loud shattering noise blasted through the crumbling structure of the room. The floor beneath him turned frigid as if he were laying on a sheet of ice along with small particles of what felt like glass blasting across his wings sharply and cutting through his jacket.
"THE HELL? WHAT DID I DO?' he screamed to himself as his fingers began to turn numb from the cold. "Make it stop!"
In panic, the brunette shot his wings out to there full length, cracking the feathers which had froze against one another painfully. On the brink of his very last nerve, he began to give in to the numbing cold, when suddenly with a small 'POP!'the storm disappeared, leaving Sora within a new room and a very confused brain.
A very, VERY confused brain.
"What the-OW!" Something heavy, small, and hard slammed into his already buzzing head. After shaking the stars out of his eyes, he picked a large, black book up from off the floor, reading the cover carefully:
World History: Guide to Hallow Bastion.
Sora blinked once, twice, then a third as something clicked within his brain.
"Wait a minute" He looked more closely at the outer binding of the book and realized there was a large gapping hole square through the middle. As if something had pierced it with tremendous force.
Heart racing, he spun around searching frantically across the room for his Keyblade. The floor was now a deep, black marble and the walls were covered with pictures of white and blacked winged angels and grotesque images which seemed to mix with the mood of the place. He finally spotted his weapon lying several feet away in front of a deserted service desk.
What he had assumed was slowly coming true.
Jenza had used the book to create the illusion. All he needed was a item that had a deep connection with the world, a good memory, a glimpse at someone else's memory, and a little bit of magic to create the scenery and the people. Donald had taught him this back at Disney Castle several years ago.
All he needed was one more piece and he had it solved. With a deep breath, he skimmed through the torn pages of the book frantically searching for any misplaced text or scribble. It wasn't long before he had thrown the book down before him and locked his gaze on the black raven mark burned into the middle page of the book. That was it.
Fuming, he kicked the book aside and ran over to his fallen weapon. With a cry and a flash of red, he had set the contents of the book burning in a mass of orange and red flames. His eyes fell on the door tucked in the corner of the room, and without another word to the room or himself he ran across the marble floor and through the double doors, leaving the book and Jenza's mark to fade into ash.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
"Where in God's name is Riku?" Yuffie asked for the twenty-fifth time sense they had arrived in the strange building. Her companions trudged behind her, tired and sick of hearing the girl complain. They had seen nothing but white walls, tile floors and light covered ceilings sense they had arrived. It was a continuous maze of boringness.
"Yuffie, if we didn't answer you the first five times, what makes you think we are going to answer you after the last twenty?" Leon growled.
"I'm just ranting, Leon, I don't expect you to answer me," she explained, rolling her eyes.
Leon looked as if he would like to do nothing better than throw her out the nearest window, but since there was none he would have to hold himself back.
"Just keep walking guys," Mickey told them slowly. Kairi, Donald and Goofy followed behind him, their minds clearly on other things. Like Sora.
Not that they didn't care about Riku, it was just that, well... it was Riku. He could take care of himself.
Sora on the other hand…
"I sure hope he's okay." Kairi wondered for the hundredth time. No reassuring voice in her mind answered her back though like it usually did. But suddenly she straightened up despite herself. Sora had told her and the others to find Riku and that was what they were doing. Following orders.
Sora knew what he was doing, right?"
Suddenly Yuffie stopped in the middle of the hall, nearly being run over by everyone behind her who had become engaged in their own silent thoughts, like Kairi.
"What's the big idea?" Donald yelled, glaring at the ninja. Yuffie whacked him on the head and looked at the others thoughtfully. "I think... We should split up."
Goofy blinked. "Gawrsh, why do that Yuffie?"
"We could cover more ground that way."
"What ground? This place seems to be all on one floor," Leon stated with a frown.
Yuffie raised an eyebrow at him. "Well it sure didn't look like it was one floor when we were outside, Leon."
"Yeah, but there were WINDOWS, Yuffie, and I don't see any windows around here, do you?"
She opened her mouth to reply but Mickey held up a hand to stop her "Shush, and listen." He looked at everyone, frustration shining in his features. Everyone went quiet.
Listen, Jenza is a master of illusions and a good one at that, "he explained. "Everything in here will not look anything like it was from outside in the square. Everything changes to his will in here, so he has the upper hand, got it? He wants you all to fight like this, so don't." Yuffie bit her lip and Leon simply crossed his arms over his chest. Kairi listened closely.
"So none of us will split up, you got that? We'll never find each other and you'll end up like Riku.
"Well then what should we do?" Yuffie asked with a huff.
Mickey thought for a moment, tapping his foot on the ground steadily and his ears twitching every now and then, "We shout."
Kairi blinked. "Huh?"
The mouse shrugged. "Call out his name. If he can here us, he can do the same and we can find him. That's the safest way."
All simply looked at each other questionably, trying to see who would shout first. Yuffie just stood there, dumbstruck, her eyes lingering on the king, then Leon, then Yuffie.
Everyone stared back at her.
"What? I'm not going to do it. Its someone else's tu-"
"RRIIKKUU!"
All five of them jumped as Kairi let out a loud yell which echoed through the whole narrow structure of the blank hall.
Mickey smirked at this and soon joined in with her, walking before everyone else and heading toward the other end of the passage calling out the teens name.
Leon rolled his eyes as Donald and Goofy followed in there wake, doing the same.
"This is getting more irritating by the second" Leon mumbled. "God damn it, Riku, where are you?"
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
It seemed to have been hours, no…DAYS since Riku had been free from the hell of a prison he had gotten himself trapped in.
White walls, white doors, white tile floor.
He was going ISANE!
He had spent forever hacking away at the middle door on the left side of the hall, just because he felt like it and hoped it would get him out.
But when he had turned his back on the door for only a second, ONE TINY SECOND, he found the door in perfect condition and free of the million of scratches he had managed to slash into the surface when he turned back.
Riku couldn't even scream he was so pissed off.
There was nothing he could do in the hall. There was no place he could go, nothing he could hear, absolutely nothing.
So he laid there.
Sprawled out across the floor, staring into the bright light above him just waiting for something to happen.
He didn't know how long it had been until he heard a sound. Hell, he was barely aware what a sound was.
Immediately his eyes opened, looking around frantically to see what had disturbed his torture chamber of silence.
"RIKU!"
Was that, Kairi's voice?
"Riku can you hear me?"
It sounded so far away…
Finding his voice again, the teen decided to take a chance. "KAIRI?" The voices stopped for a moment.
Heart pounding with new found hope Riku hopped to his feet and spun around in the center of the hall frantically. "KAIRI! IS IT YOU?"
"YEAH!" came his reply. "Where are you?"
Riku bit his lip. That was a really good question.
"Um...check any of the nearby doors... And hurry, I've been stuck in here forever and about to go INSANE!"
Kairi stopped outside a normal looking white door with Mickey at her side. Riku's voice was emitting the loudest from this spot.
"He's behind there!" Yuffie pointed out, a little late.
"How do we get in?" Kairi asked, tapping the brass door knob questionably.
Everyone stood in silence.
"GUYS?" Riku called out again, but nobody answered. He frowned inwardly, hoping that they hadn't lost track of him.
"KAIRI! ANSWER ME!"
"Don't try it."
Riku's heart jumped from his chest and he turned on the spot to find Jenza leaning casually against the wall smirking at him. Just the air of his presence sent anger coursing through Riku's veins and the fact that he had gotten in here when he couldn't get out was aggravating.
"I'll try whatever I want," he hissed, hand creeping to his blade slowly.
Jenza's eyes flashed and he licked his lips. "You're as persistent as Sora."
"Thanks,"Riku growled. "Kind of obvious, since he's my best friend."
"That wasn't really a compliment, you arrogant fool," Jenza sneered. "It will be your downfall, just as it will be his."
Riku, getting annoyed, withdrew his blade and held it out in front of him threateningly. Jenza just flashed his eyes.
"Cut the crap. Sora's going to beat your ass with or without my help and his persistence is a plus."
"Persistence has nothing to do with fate Riku."
"Fate has nothing to do with Sora," Riku lied before he could stop himself. He knew very well Sora had A LOT to do with fate. What, with the whole Keyblade thing and such. Jenza sensed the lie in a heart beat and he chuckled lightly at Riku's arrogance.
"If fate had nothing to do with Sora, then I wouldn't have to go through with all of this now would I?"
Riku didn't say anything, but kept his guard up.
"But you guys are nothing but a waste. He wastes all his time and energy making sure you're all safe when he's just going to die anyway! No matter what side he chooses, light or dark, he will cease to exist in this world by the time its all over."
The teens mind drifted back to several hours ago when Sora and the others had solved out the prophecy. Riku had split up from the group before he had been able to here the rest of it.
And he didn't recall hearing anything that involved Sora having to die. "That's…not true," he muttered half-heartedly.
"Just cause you haven't heard it from that fool of a mouse doesn't mean it's not true," Jenza hissed, enjoying the fearsome look creeping into the teens features. Not even Riku could rebel against fate. He had tried once himself, but lost.
And that was when he had fought Sora.
"That…that doesn't make any sense!" Riku shouted. "That would mean all of this would be for nothing no matter what the outcome!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Jenza's body tensed and he leapt from his spot off the wall. In a heartbeat he had Riku pinned by the throat against the door, the rubber soles of his shoes barely scrapping the tile floor. The teen choked in surprise, his neck throbbing from the pressure of the spirits nails as they squeezed and dug into his flesh. Blood and air ceased to flow to the rest of his body arising a feeling Riku would rather of liked to be left without at the current moment. Panic.
"To YOU it would be for nothing!" Jenza hissed, madness boiling in his purple eyes. "Sure you would lose your damn best friend, but what difference would it make years from now when you've moved on? That's what I don't understand! You stupid humans and your emotions! Sora was born to die! And at my hand!"
Riku tried his best to growl at this, but all he could force to come out was a choked squeak. Yet despite his position he forced a smirk. Jenza was beginning to sound more and more like a normal whiny teenager. Way different then how he had been before. And that only proved that Sora was now a highly dangerous threat to him.
And he very well knew it.
"Well someone's upset," Riku gasped. "I Guess Sora's kicked your ass more then once while I've been gone, huh?"
Jenza's wings flared in response, each feather ruffling in immense irritation. Riku awaited the blow he felt was about to be sent at him. But what came was a bit different.
With a growl, the spirit chucked him against the opposite wall like a rag doll. Riku's head banging against the doorknob causing stars to blink in front of his eyes. A heavy throbbing pounded through his skull, ringing in his ears with persistently loud volume. When his image finally came into focus he found himself alone in the hall as he had been before, free from Jenza's presence.
"Damn it…" he mumbled, messaging his bruised head. "Five points to me for hitting a nerve on the jackass, though…and a headache."
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
After a few moments of silent group thinking Leon spoke. "Turn it," he suggested.
Everyone looked at him.
"You're never going to know anything unless you turn it. For all you know, it could already be open and we are standing here wasting our time."
"Leon, if it were already open wouldn't you think Riku would of already walked out?" Donald fumed.
"Wait," Mickey mumbled. "Leon has a point. Jenza's objective must of been to keep Riku from getting out. That doesn' t mean we can' t get in." With this said, Kairi turned the door knob without question and sure enough, it swung open. Leon smirked to himself and Yuffie kicked him in the shin roughly.
What they saw inside was average. A white hall just like the rest of the building except it was smaller. Riku was sitting on the floor leaning against the middle door on the left, messaging his head, looking annoyed.
" Riku!" Kairi called, grinning.
The teen jumped up and looked around the room hopefully. " Kairi? Where are you? You sound really close."
The red head frowned. "We' re right here, Riku. I'm holding the door open"
The teen froze, looking around the rest of the hall questioningly. His gaze brushing over Kairi and the open doorway only for a second before a look of worry stuck itself onto Riku' s face. " Kairi, I still can't see you."
Kairi and Yuffie looked at each other.
"What do you mean you can' t see us? We are standing right here!" Yuffie shouted.
" Maybe he' s finally lost it…"Donald muttered to Goofy, who shrugged in reply.
Mickey and Leon simply raised an eyebrow and looked at each other. Riku stood there for a moment, turning around in a circle on the spot, looking somewhat childish. After several minutes he stopped with his back facing toward them.
" Your voice seems to be coming from that door," he spoke, pointing at the one at the far end.
Yuffie growled but Kairi shushed her. "Riku, we' re BEHIND you! The door behind you."
Riku turned, anger rising and raised an eyebrow. " Kairi, there's a window there. No door."
Everyone fell silent at this.
It was awkward. And disturbing. Riku was staring right at them, they were staring right at Riku. But apparently…
...they were a window?
" Well, don' t know what else to tell you, kid, but we are standing where the window is," Leon spoke up. Something in the tone of his voice gave off an air of amusement to the rest of the crowd.
"Its one of Jenza' s illusions, Riku," Kairi explained, earning a nod of approval from Mickey.
The teen blinked once, twice, then slapped himself in the face with his left hand. "Great…just great," he sighed, dropping his hand to his side and fixed his gaze on the window with a look of death.
Donald and Goofy took a step back in fright.
" So what am I supposed to do? Attack it?" he asked, putting his hand on his blade.
Everyone took a step away from the door except Kairi, who was actually considering it would be safe if she did the same.
" Um…no, Riku, unless you want to drag five dead bodies out of the building and to Sora's feet and face his wrath, I'd drop that hand from your weapon pronto."
" Well then what do I do?"
" Simple," Mickey spoke up. " Jump out the window."
Everyone looked at him while Donald and Leon smirked in the background. The teen's eyes widened in horror. Clearly showing that from the view the window was giving Riku that he was not liking the idea.
" Hell…no…" he squeaked.
" Garsh, Riku, you'll be stuck in there forever if you don't," Goofy told him.
"Yeah, and even if we are lying to you for our own sick humor-" Leon began.
" Which we are not…"Kairi hissed.
"-you'll still get out of this hall anyway, you'll just break a few bones when you hit the ground"
Yuffie didn't even bother kicking him this time. She was actually finding this almost as amusing as him. I mean, the brave and fearless Riku? Stuck in a hallway and his only means of getting out by jumping through a window?
This was priceless.
Riku's face switched constantly from a look of confusion to anger as he battled inwardly with himself over the next five minutes. He had two choices and he didn't like either of them.
But he had to do what he thought was reasonable.
Kairi and the others held there breath.
And then Jenza's words slowly came back to him. That smug look on his face igniting anger within Riku' s heart.
'Your as persistent as Sora.'
And to him that had been a bad thing? Jenza had put him in this situation and he would use his own persistence to get him out of it. With a silent nod, and his usual smirk playing across his lips, he placed his left foot behind him, putting fourth all his weight on his left and took off, sneakers slapping against the white marble as he launched himself through the doorway/window.
No one had any time to react. No one except Mickey who had taken a quick step to the side ahead of time. All that they knew was that Riku had come flying toward them in an airborne dive and collided with all four of there bodies, knocking them against the opposite wall.
Only one person could describe there pain.
"OW! Riku you moron!" Yuffie screamed from the bottom of the human dog pile. "Give a warning next time!"
" Well it's not my fault you all don't have enough common sense to move when you know I'm going to dive through a fake window!" he shot back. Mickey watched them begin to bicker and sighed heavily, trying to think of how they were going to find there way out of this place. They had found Riku. Now they just had to find Sora.
Which he felt, for some strange reason, was going to be extremely easy.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Me: That Riku part I loved. And I had a lot of stuff typed here but sense Wish is such a critic, I'm not putting it. And I curse her parents for making her switch to yahoo because when I send her my chapter its all messed up, and when she sends it back to me its all messed up. There's all this /par stuff whenever there's a space. Its ANNOYING AND TOOK FOREVER TO DELETE!
Sora: But its over now and she's happy.
Me: Yeah, I am. PLEASE REVIEW! And make sure to E-mail or review to get my ass in gear in case I start to forget to update. I need the motivation.
Sora: But you have Wish.
Me:…need less painful motivation.
Wish: BWA HA HA! And I wouldn't HAVE to cause you pain if you would JUST GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND WRITE! (grumbles) Gah, why am I here? WHY?
Me: mumbles: Shut it. PLEASE REVIEW!
