Chapter Six: Black
"Axel." Riku nodded coolly towards his companion as the tail of his blindfold dipped into his black hood.
"You sure you wanna go through all this trouble, just for one girl?" A smirk grew onto the face of the older redheaded man.
"She's everything, you know that. Even you need her to survive this." Closing his already covered eyes, Riku hoped for another vision of Kairi, something he'd been hoping for all week since he last seen her, and felt her, on the beach by the waves.
"I'm… flying. I'm flying when I'm near her." Riku could only find one word to describe his feeling at the moment, he didn't know why this was the feeling, but did not feel like voicing those thoughts at the moment. "So wipe that smirk off your face."
Axel did as he was told grudgingly, and took a few heavy steps towards the silver haired teen. Changing his countenance to a colder, harsher look, he snarled at his younger comrade. "Hey, I've been helping you out with this Kairi girl since the day I met you. Don't give me that attitude."
Being scolded like a child was not a thrill for Riku. He didn't like it when his mother had scolded him, and he didn't like it now. "Don't give me that attitude. Pfft, he can't tell me what to do."
Bringing his hand up in defeat, Riku turned away from Axel and walked towards the door, leaving the other man to his disgruntled thoughts. "I'll deal with him later. Right now I've got to focus. Hmph, yelling at me like he has any authority over me whatsoever. What a joke."
Grinning to himself, Riku sank into the floor surrounding himself with the swirling and biting darkness: His current form of transportation. "Hey, it beats walking."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you decided to come and apologize? Haha?" The mouse king was chuckling now and his more serious tone seemed to be absent, along with his darker attire. He spoke to darkness, as Riku's body slowly emerged from the black.
"Yeah, yeah. So where are the other princesses?" This boy was not in the mood. As far as he was concerned, time was of the escence, and he did not have any to sit around and listen to this mouse preach, giggle, or whatever other absurd thing he was planning on doing at the moment.
"You know they scattered them among the remaining worlds." Smart move; the king had caught onto Riku's tense attitude.
"No, I wasn't aware, so nice of you to inform of that minor detail. Since when were they moved from Hollow Bastion? I thought that they were to stay there until we'd finished the research."
Mickey shuffled his feet nervously, something he'd grown accustomed to doing near Riku lately. The others didn't scare him one bit: they were purely evil. Riku, however... he wasn't so sure what his intentions were or where exactly his loyalties lay. "Well, someone gave the order for them to be released."
"That someone wouldn't happen to have been you, would it?" Annoyance and anger growing by the second, Riku voiced his opinions to the mouse without a second thought.
"I wouldn't be throwing around accusations like that. It could get you into trouble, you know." The king chuckled to himself lightly, and then made leave.
"Well, if I have to go gather up all of the princesses again, I might as well start with her." A wide smile crept across Riku's handsome face, though it was different from his more recent smiles: this one was not a smirk, or a smile due to evil intentions. This was a heartfelt one, and certainly the most beautiful that had graced the young face since the last time Riku had encountered his princess. He was truly happy. The first time he'd been happy in a long time.
Watching Mickey's back as he bounced through the exit, Riku slipped off his blindfold and let it drop to the floor. Pacing around the room for a time, gathering his thoughts completely, the boy, again, smiled to himself lightly as he again began to emanate darkness.
It started from his black boots and spread quickly. It was as if it were glowing, but it was just darkness. Rising and gaining speed moving along up his body, Riku took a deep breath. Never did like traveling, much. Holding in the slight nausea he was feeling as the darkness creeped silently up his neck, Riku felt himself beginning to evaporate, if you could call it that.
With the noise beginning with a sickening slithering sound, the silver haired boy was gone, and the darkness slowly trickled away as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small particles of blackness began slowly appearing under the shimmering sun, which made the world seem to suddenly grow much darker. The sun shrank away from the darkness, as the boy appeared the same way he disappeared under the shade of the paopu tree.
Staring out towards the sea, feeling the cool, comforting breeze dance across his cheek, Riku turned as he felt the presence of someone else, knocking him out of his state of forgetfulness and bliss.
"Ri...Riku?"
