Chapter 7- Masque de la mort (translated mask of death)
Sora groaned it seemed that the morning had already come too soon for his own liking.He grumbled, too tired to get out of bed.But the morning called after all eventhough Sora didn't want to hear it. He hated the morning time,it was so dull.But he decided to get up at least he'd have an early start to the day Drearily he put one foot out of his bed then ruffled his hair.
Yawing the whole way to the restroom. Perhaps a shower would soothe him. After last night he was still feeling weak. Slowly but surely he dragged off his nightshirt and pants throwing them aside too damn lazy to care that it cluttered the small bathroom.
Slowly Sora turned on the tap water, the hot first then the cold, he arched one toe to check the water. "Ow dammit", Sora cursed pulling his foot out quickly. He adjusted the cold again and finally it was just right. "Better", Sora muttered pulling himself into the shower. It did feel good at least he was clean. And it had been quite awhile since he had a good long shower. He deserved it after all. He grabbed the shampoo and lathered his hair, just in time to hear a loud booming knock at the door. Sora sighed, and then politely called "come in" as he pulled the embroidered shower curtain closed. He could hear footsteps and muttering, "yes what is it. this better be important", Sora said irritated.
"Sire", thank god it was a man's voice,he opened the curtain not caring if a servant saw him naked.Sora peeked outside and gave the man a withered look,"Well Squire what the hell is so important that you have to disturb my bath", the man looked down and blushed. "The soldiers return from the east sire and they found King Riku alive but wounded", he muttered keeping a steady stare at the ground.
Sora stared at the guard for a moment wide eyed, not saying a word he pulled a towel off the rack then entered his room, dressing him self quickly. The guard swiftly entered saluted him, and headed out the door. With Sora following swiftly after him. It seemed like forever the went down narrow paths and winding stairs until they reached the further most part of the palace. The Medical ward Kairi's parent's had built it shortly after her birth. It was a large enclosed part of the castle. With sterile white walls and beds covered in soft linen. Sora opened the door and a plump nurse promptly nodded toward a bed on the end. Sora nodded back then walked towards it with quietly.
Just stopping briefly at the edge of the curtain. "Riku", he called softly.
He pulled back the curtain,too scared of what he would see. At first he crooked an eye open staring at the figure in the bed. It stared back but it didn't look like Riku at all. It's face was covered by a mask. A silver mask that had an odd crudely cut out face on it. A crooked smile gleamed from it's metal strap. And the hair was like Riku's silver and sleek like it had been the day that they met. Puzzled Sora,reached out a hand and touched the figure,weakly it grasped his hand, "Riku", the figure glanced up then nodded.
Obviously he was so badly mangled that he couldn't speak. Sora clasped his hand over Riku's shoulder then laid his head upon Riku's chest. He could hear his heart beating, a feeling that he long since missed. Sora laid there for a moment just listening to that sweet sound. Riku was alive and he was grateful for that. But would it ever be the same between the two of them. Now with his son being born,but it didn't seem that Riku didn't mind at the least. Then maybe again he didn't know. Sora sighed he had to tell Riku,he breathed inwards sharply, here it goes he thought.
"Riku you know I have a son", Sora said he stopped and waited closing his eyes he hoped to hell that Riku could forgive him.All was silent for awhile then he felt Riku take a sharp intake of breath then sigh,and to Sora's surprise Riku nodded. Sora looked up at him in surprise, he was taken quite aback at the thought that Riku actually knew about Kairi being pregant,but did he know that she died or that Sora had killed her off? "How..how in the hell did you know", Sora stuttered. He tried to at least distract Riku from the subject of Kairi's death.Riku made a swift movement towards a pen and pad that laid beside a table. Promptly Sora grabbed it and shoved it towards him. Shaking slightly Riku scribbled something unto the pad then pushed it forward. Sora picked it up and whitened his stomach felt as if it had dropped into his throat.
Sora,
I knew what you did and I know about your son. The carriage driver told me, yes he told me that you paid him off. No one knows about it except us. I promptly paid him off to shut him up but you know as well as I do that this little charade can't go on much longer. I suggest that you flee and take the kid with you. I'm sure that things will be all right. But I am to remain here for reasons that you would not understand. You will learn in time my dear friend.
Regards,
Riku
Sora fumed, No,I'm not leaving dammit Riku how could you do this to me,you best keep your mouth shut", Sora said keeping his voice just above a whisper if no one was around he was of surely shouted at him. To his surprise Riku didn't get angry,he made an odd cackling laugh instead. Now Sora was really pissed off, "this isn't funny Riku,dammit",again he kept his voice down but every bone in his body wanted to place his hands around Riku's slimy neck. Again Riku chuckled, this time he could see Riku's odd curved smile through the mouth slit. "Are you mad", Sora said fuming. "I was told that you were mortally wounded,but your here laughing like a madman,what the hell is the matter with you?"
Ever so slightly Sora lifted the mask only to have his hand smacked away but Riku who was now laughing maniacally. "Bastard", Sora swore, "Stop playing games and take that thing off you look ridiculous", another smirk. Now Sora was fuming,he wasn't in the mood and he was in fear of being killed if anyone knew about Kairi. "Sora..oooh Sora",Riku said cooing "what's the matter my dear koi", "shut up shut the fuck up now", Sora screamed now he didn't give shit if anyone heard him. "Take that thing off,your just making a damn fool of yourself". Sora grasped the edge of the mask and ripped it off with such force that he was knocked back into a table. Metal instruments and I.V bags spilled everywhere.
"Bastard", Sora muttered throwing the mask back at Riku only slightly glancing back at the figure that huddled it self back in the covers now mask-less and laughing. "Your dead now you know that", Riku purred Sora ignored him he was going to get out of here obviously Riku was out of his mind or very drunk. "Your dead now..your dead you got it and your going to suffer like me", "Oh shut up, I'm not going to listening to your crazy talk", Sora said grasping the curtain. "Good day to you", Riku sat up in bed, and Sora glanced back giving him a withering look, but as he did he noticed something a gleam of bright red caught his eyes he glanced back and realized something.
Riku's eyes were red....blood red with the gleam of a madman in them. He watched as Riku smirked evilly. And Sora knew. He glanced back to Riku then the mask that he held in his hands.Sora gulped audibly,he had been exposed. Was that why Riku had told him that he would remain here? Sora suddenly felt his stomach ache and he started to sweat. Again he glanced at Riku who smiled at him,"You got the Red Fever Sora,and your going to go crazy",he whispered.His ruby eyes penetrated right through Sora. No longer were they bright and full of like they were cold and menacing. It was then Sora knew it was true it all fit in, the mask,the crazy talk,and laughter all signs of the Red Fever.Sora whitened and sunk down to the floor as Riku laid in bed laughing to himself.
He was doomed and no one was here to save him. Sora sobbed on the floor as a group of plump nurses rushed towards him. The only thing he could say was, "Red Fever" and hey understood. All whispering as they promptly back away from him and rushed to lock the ward doors. This was it Sora thought..this is the end of the line for both of them. In a matter of hours he would become a madman. The storm that was the Red Fever was brewing inside of him and it was only going to get worse.
Well this idea would not leave me alone all day. XD So I just wrote it in as chappie . :P I really didn't want it to turn this way but oh well at least it came out the way I wanted it too (idea wise). Enjoy and please keep on reviewing. .
