Chapter 3: Darkness Looms:

That night, the same one Sora was being comforted by Donald, Goofy, and Mickey, Riku sat on the other beach on the other side of the Island. He had always wondered, why did the Keyblade choose Sora? Why not him? He had the better swordsman skills, he was more mature, so why? This answer had come to him right after he got back from the realm of darkness. He couldn't ever have the keyblade because he was still dark. The darkness lingered on him, like a bad itch. Ever since he defeated Ansem, he still held the darkness he gave him. Even though it was a tiny, tiny bit, it was still there, and that was the reason he wasn't chosen by the Keyblade. Instead, he held the Souleater, The keyblade of the darkness. All because he had turn away from everyone, Tidus, Wakka, Shelpie, Kairi, and Sora. All his friends he traded away for the power of darkness to impress Kairi. How come I couldn't see it those years ago? Riku thought, Kairi loves Sora……I just have to accept that and accept that no one could ever love a denizen of the darkness.

"That's not true…Riku" A voice echoed out.

Riku stood up and drew Souleater. Something dark was coming, he could smell it.

"Well mysterious voice, if you can read minds, then you shoulda heard about me dissing on Ansem. Well, I take one thing back , If there's one blessing from this curse it's the ability to smell the darkness"

"So true, being able to smell the dark is a very handy ability. However," A dark portal opened up and out popped what seemed to be a lady clad in armor, "Fighting the dark is a totally different matter."

"So…" Riku began, "What do you want?"

"It's not what I want, it's what you want." The Lady began walking towards him.

"And if you're so sure, then what do I want?"

"You want power, you want to surpass Sora, you want to be a denizen of the light so people can like you again, you want to be with Kairi, hand in hand, close enough that you can feel her breath and pulse, close enough you can see her in her bare, angel-like glory, close enough you can enter her," The lady continued.

Riku seemed startled by what she said. She was right! That's exactly what he had always wanted. Plus things he had never thought about up 'till now.

"Speechless?" the lady asked.

Riku still didn't answer.

"I know I'm right, and the only way you can ever become a denizen of the light is to join us Chasers in our mission."

"M……Mission?"

"But first, the only way you can help us is to become stronger. Stronger in the ways of the sword, stronger in the ways of the dark."

"No way!" Riku jumped, "I gave up the dark! There's no way I'm going back."

"Have you heard the saying "In darkness there's light?""

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Darkness can be light if used in the proper way. So you need help turning your darkness into light that light denizens can use."

Riku was taking this in very carefully, and decided it wouldn't hurt to let them help with his darkness, that way if they double-crossed him, he can double-cross them back.

"What do I have to do?" "In a week, a meteor will come here to Destiny Islands. Go to the meteor's impact site to meet your tutor, The One-Winged Angel. He'll teach you how to use the darkness to your advantage so you can help us with our little mission."

Riku nodded in understanding

"Who knows?" The Chaser said, "You may become the leader of us with your power."

"The Leader?" "I have to go; I'll see you in a month… Lord Riku."

A dark portal opened and the lady vanished.

Riku stood there taking in all what the Chaser said.

"Lord Riku" Riku repeated to himself.

0000000000000000000

"Have you done your job Lenus?"

"Yes Xoron, Riku understood and is preparing to see Sephiroth."

"Excellent and how about you Din?"

Din pulled a chain and Kairi walked out.

"The Memory replacement operation was a success. Kairi now believes Sora is her mortal enemy."

"So, Kairi," Xoron began, "What is your goal?" "I must kill this Sora in order to get my memory back."

"Good Girl." Xoron menacingly chuckled.

A/N:

Wowie…… I didn't know I could BE that dark anymore. The beginning I took from when everyone hated me and I had no friends or nothin' and I wanted to die and formatted it into what Riku would think. I'm better now, because I got my GF Ariel here to help me……maybe she can help in a later chapter when Sora and Kairi are "Together" if you catch my drift. Well, I'm done, please R&R. Arigato!
