Chapter 6: Riku' Secret.

"I am the real Key Holder!" - Riku, Kingdom Heart I


"Stupid Heartless. Stupid Heartless for ruining my moment…" Axel mumbled under his breath. He roared in anger before he slashed the last Heartless in front of them then stomped the ground in frustration. Roxas sweatdropped seeing his friend was behaving like a kid but at the same time could not help but to think of the same thing.

'Stupid Heartless for ruining our great moment…' Roxas thought then sighed when he remembered his good moment with Axel an hour ago before some Heartless creatures decided to barge in. "I thought Sora already defeated the Heartless."

"He defeated Xemnas," said Axel.

"What do you mean?"

"Heartless will still be around as long as someone had darkness in their heart," said Axel.

"Meaning someone with great darkness," Roxas said. Axel nodded. "Who could it be?" Roxas asked.

"I don't know and I'm pissed off to think right now," Axel grunted. Roxas smiled weakly. "Let's check Lea and the others. They're probably fighting right now," Axel said as he went to the door entrance followed by the blonde. He opened the door and screamed when one sword almost hit his face.

"Riku! You almost hit Axel!" Sora shrieked.

"Hell yeah! What the hell do you think you're doing!" Axel shouted. Riku snorted as he swung his key sword before he walked to Sora's side. Roxas noticed Sora had his own keyblade by his hand, meaning he also had a battle just now. "So, Heartless?" Axel crossed his arms.

"Yes. They attacked us all of sudden," replied Sora.

"Those were Heartless?" Lea asked.

"Yes," replied Axel.

"Cute," said Lea, grinning. Everyone gave him a look except Riku.

"Right…" Axel turned to Sora. "Any idea why Heartless is in your safe island?" Axel asked.

"I don't know," replied Sora. "I thought we have defeated Xemnas…" Sora said.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Roxas said.

"Me too," Sora said as he wrapped his hand around Riku's. The silver-haired man looked at his best friend in curiosity and sensed something from the brunet. "What should we do?" Sora asked.

"Hmm…" Axel thought.

"How about we go meet King Mickey," Roxas suggested. "He may know something."

"Good idea!" Sora claimed before he frowned. "I'm worried about the others…"

"You mean Leon?" Axel asked. Sora nodded. "Then why don't you and Riku go check on Leon and the others while Roxas and I go to see King Mickey?"

"Is that okay?" Sora asked Roxas.

"I don't mind," replied Roxas.

"Well…I guess we should do that…"


Axel and Roxas already gone to King Mickey's castle using their black portal where Sora had never thought Roxas could do it while he and Riku are currently riding the Gummi Ship Namine had built using her painting. Before he and Riku departed, Kairi had given him a lucky charm.

"This lucky charm is cute," Sora said as he checked Kairi's lucky charm. Kairi had given the very same paopu-shaped charm to him last time during the adventure.

"Humph." Riku frowned and of course, Sora noticed it.

"Um…you want it, Riku?" Sora asked. Riku frowned more. "I'm sure Kairi has her reason why she didn't give you one…" Sora said.

"I don't want her lucky charm," Riku said. Sora blinked.

"Okay…" Sora played the charm in his hand. "Why don't you want her lucky charm?" Sora asked as he looked at his best friend who currently was driving the Gummi Ship.

"I don't like her," replied Riku.

"You don't?" Sora's eyes widened. Riku nodded. "I thought you like Kairi…" Sora said softly but the man could hear it.

"Why do you think that?" Riku asked back.

"Well, remember the racing we have to decide our rift's name?" Sora asked. Riku frowned, meaning he remembered. "You said if you win, you'll get to share the paopu fruit with her…"

"…"

"…"

"…I lose, remember," Riku said. Sora stiffened.

"But that doesn't mean you cannot like her-"

"I don't like her anymore, Sora," Riku said. His aqua eyes were on Sora's blue one. "I was a kid back then." He turned to look at the road.

"…Does that mean you have someone else you like right now?" Sora asked. Riku's grip against the wheel of the Gummy Ship tightened and Sora shuddered when he felt strange aura around him. "S-Sorry for asking-"

"Yes."

"…Huh?" Sora blinked.

"I like someone," Riku said. Tinge of pink colored his cheeks. Sora was speechless and stunned to say or do anything as he stared at Riku's red face. This was the first time he seen Riku's blushing and the sight itself already stuck into his stupid head and became memory.

"Really?" Sora asked. 'I never knew Riku like someone else other than Kairi. Wonder who? And Riku looks so cute when he's blushing!' The brunet could not help but to grin in excitement. "Who is it?"

"Not telling," Riku replied in a tone of motivation. Sora sweatdropped before he pouted cutely.

"Meany Riku. I'm your best friend. You should tell me," Sora said.

"No and that's final," Riku said. Sora frowned at the word 'final'. It usually meant Riku will not change his mind no matter what. Well, unless if he used his puppy eyes but he didn't because in the next moment, their Gummy Ship was shaking roughly.

"W-What's going on?" Sora blinked.

"Something's coming towards us," Riku said in low tone.

"What is it?" Sora asked as he looked at the radar found at the center. There was a symbol of heart floating towards their ship in the radar and Sora looked at the road of Gummi Ship, only to shock when he saw a giant black and green dragon. "Is that…what I think it is?" Sora asked. He looked at Riku to find the man was frowning badly.

"Maleficent."
