Hikari – Planet B Remix
Okay everybody, finally an update. Im sorry it took so long but I've been slightly busy. Plus I haven't had any clue what to write, nor did I really feel like. So instead of rushing and pushing myself, I decided to wait until it all came together. Well I hope it's atleast an okay chapter.

Chapter: Sinking in a Gentle Pool White
Something was wrong. Riku had grabbed my hand but the darkness didn't leave us alone. Instead it seemed to grow stronger and began to envelope us. I was being pulled down into the darkness. This was all like a repeating nightmare. My hand started to slip and I lost my hold on him. I went to reach up for it.
"Sora, don't leave me! I'm scared!" Riku reached for my hand as he got pulled into the darkness, also. Five years ago I had been in this position. I had decided to not grab Riku's hand. I had abadoned him.
Was I really willing to sacrifice myself to the darkness? Do I love him that much? I couldn't say for sure. I definitely don't want to get lost in the darkneess.
"Sora! Grab my hand! You…you promised! That if we had to, we'd dive into the darkness together! That we wouldn't be seperated again!" Riku was crying. I remembered. We had promised, while sitting on the dark beach. I said that I would go into the darkness if it came to that. Than the door appeared.
"I did promise, Riku," I smiled and closed my eyes, grabbing onto his hand, swearing to myself that I would never let go. The darkness rose up and swallowed us. I fell into the darkness and my mind went blank as I slipped into unconciousness.
"SORA!" I looked around wildly. I had woken up, surrounded by pitch black. How did this happen? What had powered the darkness to enable it to swallow his light? Maybe, in that breif second, his light had wavered…NO! Sora's light could never be extinguished, not even be the deepest darkness. I will find him, if it's the last thing AI do. I have to say I'm sorry.
"What are you apologizing for? He's the one who cheated on you," I looked around but saw nothing. The voice seemed to have came from no where. Suddenly, the darkness seemed to give way underneath me and I was falling through the blackness. Where could I be going? That voice, it seemed so familiar, like I had been hearing it all my life.
I landed a floor. Yes It was actually a floor, but it seemed to be made out of stained glass. The darkness seemed to melt away as it shone forth, the tglass seemed to have a pattern, but I couldn't really tell what is was.
"Riku, do you really want to go back to the light? All it has ever done is hurt you, time and time again. The darkness never made you feel such anguish. Come back to it. Be the strong proud boy you once were."
A person appeared, and they turned around. I gasped out loud in shock. There I was, yes, it was truly me, but I was much younger. I would say about fifteen or sixteen, in my old outfit, bulky yellow vest and all. Then suddenly the darkness came up around me, well, him, and subsided. So that is what I had looked like while controlling the darkness. I sensed the power resonating from him. Is that truly the power I had? He reached his hand out and looked me dead in the eyes.
"Come, return to yourself. This is who you truly want to be."
"I…" My mind raced. To have that power again, than no one could make a fool out of me. Never again would I be hurt, and I could truly protect what was mine. Mine? The image of Sora grinning up at me flashed in my mind. What a silly boy, a bet he would make a joke right about now. I smiled, "I'm sorry, but I'm already a big enough fag, I don't need to wear a dress, too."
Dark Riku seemed to feeze up, bewildred and than anger burst forth from him, "YOU DARE MAKE FUN OF THE DARKNESS! YOU'LL REGRET NOT RETURNING TO US!" With that he summoned his faux keyblade and charged me.
I knew he couldn't hurt me so I just dodge him. Was he a heartless? Or was he just a memory, given power from the realm of darkness? I wasn't sure so I summoned the Path to Dawn and quickly attacked while he was recouperating from his charge. He shreiked and melted back into the darkness whence he came.
A light shone from the spot that he had stood and revealed a stairway leading up to into the darkness. I had nothing better to do so I headed up the stairway.
"RIIIKUUU!" I heard my voice echoeing back to me and I kenw it was hopeless. I sat dpwn on the stain glass floor. I could have swore I heard his voice a few minutes ago. Maybe it was just my imagination. It was weird though, it semed like everytime I fell into darkness, I landed on these stupid fricking glass floors. I wonder what was on this one. I stood up and try to see some small piece that would give it away.
The colours were all rather dark, several different hues of grey. Theres was something that seemed odd though, a giant white spot, kind of retengular shaped.
"Hmmm, whats this over here, yellow? More white? Red? OH!" I suddenly realized what it was.
I stood on the yellow and looked, wow he was pretty, even when just pieces of stained glass. I wonder how these things are made? Is it some kind of magic? Well it must be creppy stalker magic to be able to duplicate a scene of Riku and I on the dark beach.
I sat down and felt a twing of despair. When would I see him again? Why couldn't I reach him? It was simply irratating! I needed to tell him that I was a fuckign retard for doing that to him. I wasn't exactly guilty feeling about it anymore, too much drama surrounding it to say it was ALL my fault. I kinda blame Merlin for bringing the alcohol.
Than a light appeared from below me and the platform's picture seemed to melt away to reveal another landscape underneath of it. I knew the place right away, and I closed my eyes, smiling.
I had running for what seemed like hours up those forsaken stairs to finally arrive onto another glass platform. I was much bright looking and I knew I had seen the place it depicted before. Well, I could really see what it depicted but I got this feeling. There were bright blues everywhere and a giant yellow green circle in the middle, there were people on it. I could really tell who they were, one had silver hair and the other brown…OH! Okay now I felt like a retard for not knowing who they were at first.
Now I was wodnering who or what the fuck made these things because it was really creepy that they could replicate papou islet. I started to call it that cause it didn't have a name and the only thing on it is that silly fruit tree. I walked around fdor a little bit, and thankfully nothing poped up and tried to envelope me into darkness. I sat down on the part of glass I knew was the papou tree's trunk and closed my eyes. I imagined myself actually being there. I could feel the warm summer breeze blowing my hair across my face. The gulls cried in the background and I heard footsteps running up to me. Those footsteps that made my stomach tighten up everytime I heard them. Those footsteps that I wish were real. I opened my eyes and I had to blink and shake my head. It was impossible. How could I have actually gotten here? Was it more of the darkness' magic?
"I found you!" I heard before being tackled from behind, making me fall off the trunk and onto the sandy floor. I smiled and turned my head, to make sure he was real. To make sure this was all real.
I blinked again and I was back on the glass floor. The island was just an illusion. I sighed and looked up.
"There you are, finally back are you?" Sora leaned over and smiled at me.
"SORA!" I leapt up and felt my heart do a sommersault in my chest.
"That's right, looks lke you've been sleeping," he smiled and stood up straight walking up to me and grabbing both my hands, "Riku, I'm done with this episode, we both know I was wrong and I'm tired of dwelling on it. It may be hard for you to trust me again, but I don't want to lose you over this."
"Sora, you dumbass," I laughed at him and he scowled, "Do you think I would really stay mad forever? I knew that you had more than 100x the healthy dosage of wine tonight, and people do stupid shit when they are drunk."
He smiled and laughed softly and I pulled him close to me, wrapping my arms around him.
"There's just one problem Riku," he laid his head down onto my chest.
"whats that, love?"
"We still don't know how to get out of here."
Okay so! End of chapter! Boring, probably!Finally a chapter! Yes!Sorry it took so long, but the power likes to go out lately, and I lost a lot of material many times! Please enjoy and I'll do my best to get the next chapter done in a timely fashion. Love you guys!
