Chapter Three: Stopping Things That Have No Meaning

I lunged at him, bringing down my keyblade with a forceful swing. He seemed to vanish and reappear behind me. Damn he was fast, I didn't like that at all.

"Now, now Riku," he said in a very sneering way, "You should watch your temper. Who knows when it may consume your poor little heart again. But than again, are you sure you ever truly ridded yourself of the darkness?" he jumped backed and laughed.

"Riku, Sephiroth, please stop this. It's all nonsense!" Sora pleaded from the side lines

"Sora," I looked at him. I saw fear and regret in his eyes, and he was starting to cry. I cared but at the same time didn't, "shut up and get in the house."

I heard a small squeak of protest, but I guess he decided that he had already screwed up enough in one night, and ended up going into the house.

"No wonder he decided to neck with me," Sephiroth smirked even more, "with the way you boss him around. He's to good for you, you know? Someone who gives into the darkness so easily doesn't deserve his light."

"You haven't even came to visit him for four years, and you just prance in here and start preaching to me? Hypocritical bastard," I stood there staring at him with great malice showing in my eyes.

"Listen, you don't want to fight me," he looked at me with an aura smugness, "Anyways, it was Sora who kissed me."

My stomach wrenched, "I don't believe you! You must've noticed how drunk he was and took advantage of him! I don't know ho the hell you are, but I sure the fuck don't like you," I got into my fighting stance and glared at him.

I'm not going to listen to him. I'm not going to let him twist me. I'm not the darkness anymore. I have submerged myself in the light. I won't ever let it back in. I won't…

"Silly boy," Seph reached to his side and I notced a sheath there. I very long sheath. What had I gotten myself into? "You think you can beat me? I highly doubt it. I have gotten much, much stronger since your 'boyfriend' beat me."

I hated his mocking tone. I hated how he under estimated me. I hated how he smirked. I also hated how we looked a like. I hated him so much that I couldn't contain it anymore. I lunged at him. He did his sly dodge again, but I had caught onto that the first time. I turned in mid air, slashing at his midriff as he appeared behind me. He jumped back avoiding my blow. I landed and we stared at each other. He unsheathed his masamune and I too jumped back. The thing was fucking huge! I wouldn't be able to get very close to him.

"Aeroaga!" I shouted and the air swirled around me, enclosing me in a nice protective barrier. I was very happy I kept my magic in working order.

"Your punny sheild won't work against ME, fool! I'm the chosen one! And it's only fitting that I should be with the keyblade's chosen!" He slashed at me and I jumped up, leaping towards him my blade in front of me. He dodged, but I felt The Path to Dawn cut his shoulder.

"Ha, score's now one to zero!" I turned and landed on the grass, sliding back a little. He looked at his shoulder and touched the gash on his shoulder. He brought his hand up and looked at the blood in the moonlight.

"Well, you managed to hit me, but I managed to lift this;" he held up Pooh's storybook, "I'd really hate for some pages to go missing. Sora did seem so excited to see this little bok, now didn't he?"

"You stupid bastard, playing dirty like that. You have no shame. No compassion. No feelings except jealousy and greed. And you call ME the one with the dark heart," I lunged at him again, faking a stab at his chest, he dodged left and I swung around to wlbow him in the face. I grunted a little and I grabbed the book, landing next to him, kneeling on the ground. I stood up and looked back at him. He had his hand to his face and he was cussing loudly.

"You stupid little prick. You should have just let me have Sora, and I would have spared you. It's too late now, though." He jumped back, blood spilling from his now broken nose. I smiled a bit.

"Not so pretty now are you? Why do you keep on boasting your power when I'm obviously better than you?" I tossed the storybook onto the glider and got back into my fighting stance.

He stood there with his eyes closed, he seemed to be chanting something and he started to levitate in the air. I was there for a few seconds, and I didn't think to go attack him or anything. I just stared in wonder, what the fuck could he be doing? Suddenly he opened his eyes and pointed at me.

"SIN HARVEST!" I bright light glowed above me and I suddenly saw my folly. I tried to get away, but it followed me. Suddenly I felt all my strength drain away. I don't think I could possibly get any weaker right now, than he teleported behind me. I tried to didge but I was too late yet again. My aeroaga had faded a few seconds before and he sliced at me. I collapsed on the ground. I now had a huge gash in the middle of my back, and it stung like crazy. I was spent, and I knew it was over.

"Sephiroth, no!" Sora rushed out and stood inbetween Sephiroth and I, Oblivion in hand. "Don't you dare touch Riku!"

he rocoiled a bit, not expecting Sora to have interfered, "Now Sora, don't do anything stupid. He's not right for you. He can't even defend himself properly. He doesn't love you like I did, and still do. Now," he reached out a hand towards Sora, "come with me Sora, and we can live forever. The two chosen ones. It would be perfect, no?"

"That's right, no," I looked up at Sora and was slightly amazed. Why wouldn't he go with Seph? I was obviously better than me in everyway possible. I moved up to me kneel and I felt a tear hit my hand, "seph, I won't go with you now for the same reason I didn't go with you than. I don't love you. I never have. Whatever you think we have or might have had never existed. I was vunerable than, I needed someone to be with, and you looked a lot like Riku. I guess that's why I chose you. It didn't mean anything Sephiroth, you have to get over it. Even you said that it was a mistake on your part."

"So that's how it is? It was all just a fluke? Just because I looked like HIM?" he pointed down at me in digust. I stood up and held my keyblade in both hands.

"That's obviously what he's saying," I stood as best I could, but I would stagger every now and than, "You're not welcome here anymore, please leave."

"Riku, are you going to be okay?" Sora looked at me worriedly, I didn't look back at him.

"I'll be fine."

"You both are making a big mistake, chosing me as an enemy. You'll regret this. I'll make sure of it!" He turned around and disappeared.

I fell onto the ground, exhausted, "Riku, are we going to be okay?"

"I'm not sure Sora…I'm not sure at all." I looked up at the night sky. The full moon bathed me in her light. Suddenly, I felt it. A feeling that I could never mistake or forget. I felt the darkness pulling at my heart. I closed my eyes. I knew I wouldn't give into it, I didn't really have a reason, too. Though, I didn't try and force it out. It sat there nicely and perfectly, comforting as I felt Sora gaze at me.

Okay, that's it for chapter three. I'll tell you up front, I have no idea what will happen after this, so it may take awhile for an update. I'll probably work on Desire for a couple days though. Review if you please. If not that's grovy too!
