Me: looks at the peoples of this fan fic and then chapter six and replies Because something comes out of it all.
Sora: NOOO!
Kairi: …
Chapter Six
As the Gummi ship touched down in Hollow Bastion, for the first time, Ansem actually felt the pain that Riku had felt. Maybe his body had rejected it at first, or maybe he had ignored it. He didn't know, but the pain came over him so fats and so quickly, that when he stood up, he nearly fell and found he was unable to use his right arm. He was going to kill Xemnas when he got his hands on him! Kairi caught him and helped him out of the Gummi ship. All the while, Ansem heard Riku trying to yell, trying to let her hear him to release him, to drop Ansem.
When Ansem was on the ground, he was wearing what Riku had worn, not the Heartless outfit. He spotted King Mickey standing there, looking at Riku with utter surprise. Everyone came up to him, all of them worried sick. Even Cloud seemed upset.
Meanwhile Riku watched as his friends helped Ansem and longed to take control again, but he was too weak at the moment. Maybe, if he could manage to build up his strength, maybe he could regain control. He watched as Ansem was led to a chair where he sat down. Mickey was looking at him with concern, but as Riku watched Mickey, he noticed something. Behind the concern, was utter rage. Did Mickey see Ansem inside of him? Hope rose within Riku.
Ansem looked at Leon, who was looking at him with worry, "What happened to you Riku? Who did this?"
Ansem blinked and looked away again. He had to sound like he was angry, and so, the anger he felt towards Riku, he let out on them, by words. "The damn fool, Xemnas, cut my shoulder open. And he also did this. He found me." Ansem didn't mention his name because he wanted to here them ask.
"Who's 'he'?" Cloud asked from across the room.
Ansem looked at Cloud, his eyes flashing as he replied, "Ansem. He found me and I was too weak to fend him off and he knocked me out."
Meanwhile Mickey was looking at Riku with anger, confusion, and pity. The anger came from Riku letting all this happen, and something coming from Riku that didn't feel right. The confusion came from Riku actually admitting that he was weak. Riku would never do that, and that was Mickey's biggest hint that something was up.
All at once Ansem forced himself to stand up out of the chair. Leon, who was beside him, helped him up, thinking it was Riku. He couldn't take it. He wanted to kill them all right then, but he couldn't it was too early and Mickey was already suspicious. Ansem forced himself to stand up with help from Leon who thought he was Riku, and stepped towards the door. "Where are you going?" Sora asked him, confused, yet curious.
Ansem looked at Sora and replied, "I just want to be alone for a few minutes."
Ansem opened the door and walked out, closing it behind him. He then sat on the steps, his anger towards everyone in that room calming. He wanted to kill every single one of them right then and there but it was too early, much too early for anything. 'Well, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, either way one of them is going to die if not all!' he thought.
'You're not going to kill any of them!' Riku replied fiercely.
"Just watch me, because when one is dead, the others will blame you. You'll either be killed or forced away from them. They'll hate you through death or through life. You can't go telling them it was Ansem who did all of this because they think Ansem's dead, they won't listen either. You'll be talking crazy to them." Ansem replied, grinning. His voice was a whisper as he spoke with Riku and it held an evil tone to it as if what he were planning would come when he chose no matter where.
Suddenly the door swung open to reveal Mickey standing there. There was a grave look planted on his face as he shut the door. When it shut, his Keyblade appeared in his hand. "You're not Riku, are you?" Mickey asked Ansem, holding up his golden Keyblade.
Ansem laughed, standing up. He pushed all sense of Riku being there away from him and that also made the pain go away, but it changed his eyes color. It turned to an organ-red, "Finally we have a smart one out of the idiots!" he laughed, his sword appearing in his right hand that no longer bore the gash. It wasn't Riku's Way to Dawn or Soul Eater, it was Ansem's blade that he had used against Riku.
"Ansem, leave Riku!" Mickey demanded, about to swing his Keyblade. Ansem knew that it was now or never, he was just disappointed it wasn't Sora. He twisted his blade and switched hands and jabbed the tip at Mickey. He heard a loud, painful gasp before he vanished from Riku. He would let Riku take the blame for it all and then slowly, but surely, Riku's friendship would deminish and plunge Riku into a great loneliness and he would surly except Ansem's next offer.
One moment Riku was staring at a black picture and then the next, he found himself standing in front of the king, his Way to Dawn in his left hand. The gash on his right arm burned fiercely and Riku felt sick, very sick. He hadn't felt anything for the few hours that Ansem had possessed him because had made it go away from him after awhile so Ansem could act as if he were hurt. Now the pain that had been building up had been released. Riku staggered, his eyes shut as he sucked in air. He clutched his stomach, doubling over. He couldn't look at Mickey and he knew that if he did, he would surly throw up.
He stumbled blindly backwards as the door swung open to reveal everyone that had been in Merlin's house. Kairi and Sora and Leon were at the front. Riku was aware of their stares. He felt the fear and anger coming off of every single one of them, but he did not look up as he fell backwards. Riku couldn't take their anger at him. It wasn't his fault and he forced himself to look at the ground, he forced his eyes open as tears fell. It was from pain, shock, and anger. He wanted to hurt Ansem now and his voice was threatening, "You killed two of my friends, you won't kill another! Damn, I'd rather you have killed me, you hear that! Damn it Ansem, why the fuckin' hell did you kill my friends!" Riku's voice had become louder as he threw his Keyblade into a building. He didn't even look at his other friends as he staggered to his feet, his eyes blazing, "I'll find you and kill you this time or die trying."
No had been listening to Riku of course because he heard foot steps coming towards him, and all at once pain exploded through his head. Any one who had taken that blow would have surely fainted, but instant, Riku fell into a wall, taking the pain, but his anger kept him conscious. He looked up to see Cloud glaring at him, his sword raised. So he had hit Riku with that.
"I'm not going to be knocked out again, Cloud. I won't let you knock me out. I want to kill him first, him and Xemnas for what they did. Damn, leave me alone I have to find that jackass!" Riku's voice was a snarl, but it was low and week from pain.
Cloud didn't pay any attention to Riku as he swung again growling, "Why did you kill Mickey?"
Riku narrowly missed the blow and saw Sora and Leon coming up to him. He noticed Kairi was bent over Mickey, crying. Sora's expression was unreadable and Leon's bore shock. "Cloud, back off, I have to speak with Riku." Sora said. Cloud gave him a protesting glance but did as Sora said.
Riku blinked as Sora came towards him. He had a sudden urge to flee from his friends. He backed off to the side and turned towards the stairway. There was no way Riku was going to take his friends' anger. He limped over towards the stairs and climbed up them, tears staining his face. He grabbed the railing and pulled himself up the stairs but knew he wasn't going to get anywhere.
As Riku continued to pull himself up, his left arm gave away and he slipped. He gasped in shock and pain as he fell sideways slamming into the wall. His vision flashed red for a moment and jarring pain filled his body as he fell down the stairs and landed on the ground with a thud. He groaned, feeling as if he couldn't move. He didn't want to and no matter what, he did want to stay awake but now the pain was great. Riku blinked as he saw a figure walk up to him. His eyes were barley open as he looked up at the figure. He heard laughter and saw the person's face, "That'll teach you, you pathetic moron."
"Xemnas…go to hell…" Riku breathed before his vision went black.
Ansem was back in his castle, looking at his followers. They were all looking at him with evil friends as he told them Mickey had been eliminated. Their plans were going according to plans. "That will never work! Riku won't give into you again Ansem!" came an angry voice from across the dark room. A girl was tied up not ten feet away from the group, glaring at Ansem.
"Aurithia, do you honestly think that? Because if you do, we'll do much worse than shatter him like that." Ansem threatened, his eyes flashing.
"I won't let you, damn it! Riku is stronger than you think, I know he is!" Aurithia argued.
"Silence her, she has too big of mouth for her own good." Ansem ordered. Xemnas nodded and pointed at Saix and then Aurithia. Saix nodded and stepped up towards the girl before bashing her behind the head and silencing her just as ordered. He smirked as she slumped over, unconscious and went back to the meeting.
Sora stood over his friend listening to him as he said "Xemnas…go to hell…" He felt angry towards Riku, no he was furious, even murderous. Never would he have thought Riku would hurt Mickey, even go to the limits of killing him. Why Riku had done it, he didn't know. Sora had thought there was something funny about Riku when they had found him, but he hadn't been sure at the time. And in the Gummi Ship, how he was acting, it was strange. Sora had noticed that every so often his eyes flashed and he could have sworn he had heard Riku muttering to himself.
He could see the blood dripping from Riku's body as he lay there but Sora did nothing. Leon was standing beside Sora, "What should we do? Should we kill him?" Obviously Ansem's plan really was going to work because Sora replied, "I don't want to live with cold-hearted murder, so no. But we won't let him come around us, he might kill another. I thought that he and Mickey were best friends, but I think I was wrong."
"Yeah, do you want us to just leave him here?" Leon asked.
"No, I want to speak to him first." Sora said coolly.
Meanwhile Kairi was coming up to them, her eyes dull and her face shining with tears. "Why did Riku do it? Why did he kill Mickey, Sora?" she cried as she rapped her arms around him, looking, seeking for comfort from a close friend.
"I don't know Kairi, but I'm going to find out." Sora promised her.
Well I hope you liked it. You know I could never image Mickey with blood all over him so that's why i didn't describe it if you must know. Poor Mickey!
Riku: WHY DID YOU KILL MY BEST FRIEND YOU BEST FRIEND KILLER!
Me: blinks Umm, excuse me Riku, but you're the one who let Sora die due to Xemnas when he captured him! AND STOP STEALING MY NICKNAME I USE FOR YOU!
Riku: Okkaayyy...
