Amarantha frowned and readied herself for anything.
"Riku, what brings you here? It couldn't be poor, lowly me."
Riku chuckled. "As a matter of fact, it is."
Amarantha slowly put her hand into her coat, ready to pull out her weapon if need be.
"The Organization's not to pleased." Riku stated mater of factly, walking across the shore toward the separate little island that Sora and Kairi had watched the sunset on.
"And I would care why?" Amarantha asked, walking a few steps behind Riku.
Riku turned his head slightly toward Amarantha; she could just make out the blindfold that he always wore.
"You should care; I know I would if I were in your shoes." Riku stopped; he was now standing at the edge of the small island, looking out at the sea. "They want you back, Aran. Boss has sent out Axel and his crew to find you."
"Then why aren't you trying to capture me?" Amarantha asked.
Riku tilted his head to one side, allowing the moon to light up his facial features. Amarantha could see the smirk clearly on his face.
"Let's just say, I'm not on the Boss's good side."
"Hey, Kairi, I think we left it at the tree!"
Amarantha spun around to see Sora and Kairi running toward the island, Kairi just a bit behind Sora. Amarantha turned her head toward Riku, he was looking straight at her, at least, his face was turned toward her, she couldn't see exactly where his eyes were pointed. There was the usual smirk on his face but then it turned into a line on no emotion what so ever. Riku's lips started to move and Amarantha had to strain to see what he was saying.
"You showed me, how I see that nothing is whole and nothing is broken."
Before Amarantha could figure out what Riku meant by that Sora yelled out.
"Hey, who are you two?"
Riku turned to face his two old friends, Amarantha following suit.
"Kairi, stay back, they're from Organization XIII!" Sora pushed Kairi behind him and brought the Key Blade to his hands.
Amarantha glanced at Riku, who now had his normal smirk back on his face. Riku chuckled.
"Not anymore we aren't."
Amarantha turned to Riku. "What do you mean, we?"
Riku shrugged. "I told you I was no longer on the Boss's good side."
"What are you two talking about?" Sora asked.
Kairi peaked around from behind Sora's back. "Riku? Riku, is that you?"
Riku slowly pushed his hood back with two gloved hands. There was a slight breeze in the air, causing Riku's silver white hair to whisper around his blindfolded face.
Sora lowered his Key Blade. "Riku, that, it… it really is you!"
Kairi walked up to Riku slowly. "You've changed." She said, noting the blindfold and the evil smirk. "Why?" She reached up to touch the blindfold.
Riku pulled his head away from her and took a few steps back so that he was once again even with Amarantha. Kairi's bottom lip started to quiver.
"What's happened to you?" She asked, a single tear sliding down her face.
"Nothing you would be able to comprehend." Riku said, his voice more of a whisper than anything.
Lifting a hand Riku grabbed his blindfold and slowly pulled it off.
Kairi took a step back, stepping on Sora who now raised his Key Blade again and jumped in front of Kairi.
"You're not the Riku we know!" He said, crouching as if ready to jump.
Riku turned his head slightly toward Amarantha; his eyes weren't the pure crystal blue they had once been, they were the red of darkness, just as Amarantha's were. Amarantha, Riku, Axel, and Ansem, it was a show of strength in darkness, but it was also a reminder, a reminder to all that one had to give up, accidentally gave up, in order to gain that power.
Amarantha reached into her coat and pulled out her weapon, the Key Blade Oblivion. She was one of only four that could wield it.
"I honestly don't thin…" Riku was cut short when a dark portal opened up in the center of the small island they were all on.
Amarantha raised her weapon and readied her self to attack, what ever came out of that portal couldn't be good. Riku quickly put his blindfold back on and raised his hood, putting a hand in his coat to pull out his weapon if he needed to.
Axel stepped out of the portal, closing it behind him. He didn't have his hood up, allowing his long flame red hair to move about behind him. His eyes instantly fell upon Riku and Amarantha, a smile spread across his lips.
"Ahh, there you are." He smirked. "And both in the same place, how foolish of you. Aran! What possesses you? You would either have to be very stupid or very brave to leave, neither of which you're known to be." Axel sneered.
Amarantha felt her blood boil in rage. "Hold your tongue before I gut it out!"
Axel chuckled. "Pity, you showed so much promise in the Organization." He then turned to Riku. "I don't know what to say to you! One moment you're the Boss's right hand man, the next you've gone and deserted."
"Don't sound so sad." Riku said sarcastically.
Axel held his hands out beside him. "Hey, this is the way things work I guess. A brother in arms one moment, mortal enemy's the next. But, just so you know, Boss isn't happy, Aran, he probably would have overlooked, but you both, in the margin of an hour, he said that was too much of an insult to be taken quietly."
"Well you can tell 'Boss' that darkness waits for no one." Riku stood up straight, the moonlight reaching his red eyes through the blindfold, making them glow yellow for a split second.
"You know you can't win this war." Axel said softly. "For war is what you are starting."
With that Axel opened a dark portal and stepped through it, the portal disappearing as if it was never there, as if he was never there.
