Day 7: The Final Day

Starting theme: Full Moon Theme Song

It was a rainy day and it was gloomier than usual, Riiku stared up at the gray clouds and sighed. She had always hated rainy days because of the rain and gloom they brought. She wished the others would hurry up and meet her in the town square like they had said. She'd been standing there for over 2 hours and was staring at everything and anything, she let her thoughts wondered. The first thing she thought about was the adoption center she lived in for 4 years. The second thing she thought about was her adopted mother. She was tall and beautiful; she had bright blonde hair and bright green eyes. Next her thoughts went to her adopted father before her parents got divorced. He was tall too; he had brown hair and blue eyes. She then let her thoughts wonder back to when her parents yelled and said they were going to divorce; she remembered crying and running out of the house and hiding in the park. She then remembered crying until a boy sat beside her and told her everything would be ok …Malixs Haven…yes that was the boy's name. Riiku opened her eyes; she was crying.

"Why do I always remember the bad stuff in my life?" she muttered to herself

"I don't know about bad stuff Rii!" Axel said

Riiku turned around to see everyone standing behind her; Roxas, Axel, Naminè, Kat, and Andi. She smiled and wiped away the remaining tears on her face.

"What's up?" Roxas asked looking at her closely

"Nothing…" She replied

Riiku turned away from her friends smiling; but then her smile was wiped off her face. Standing in front of her was…Malixs Haven; the little boy she had known as a child, the one that had the light colored skin, untidy short smooth silver hair and the hypnotic blue eyes. He was standing there only he was 15 and he still had the light colored skin, but the once untidy short smooth silver hair was now untidy long smooth silver hair and his hypnotic blue eyes were shining and his lean and tall body looked beautiful in the falling rain. Riiku stood there staring at him.

"M-Malixs?" she whispered

"Ya nice of you to remember Rii." He said

Riiku stared at him, she said nothing but she didn't seem very happy being called 'Rii' by Malixs.

"So Rii how have you been?" Malixs asked

"Erm…things have been—who am I kidding? I missed you." She said

"That's sweet Rii." He said

Riiku frowned at this last comment; she looked at Axel and Roxas. They looked like they were about to blow up. 'Rii'…since when was I 'Rii" to Malixs? She thought what's going on…what happened 6 years ago? After mom and I moved, what happened to you…Malixs?

"OK THAT'S ENOUGH! CAN'T YOU SEE SHE DOSEN'T LIKE YOU CALLING HER 'RII'!?" Axel yelled the irritation showing in his voice

"YA!" Roxas yelled next the irritation in his voice showing too

Before Riiku knew what was happening, Axel and Roxas charged at Malixs. The boys went full force at him, Roxas with his keyblade and Axel with his weapon. Riiku watched in horror as Malixs took both Axel and Roxas down in one blow. Riiku stared at his sword; it was black and red.

"M-Malixs, what happened to you?" Riiku asked stepping forward weakly

"What do you mean Rii?" He asked narrowing his eyes

"I mean where did you get that sword?" she asked

"Oh you mean the Demon Fang?" He asked eyes still narrowed

"Ya" She said taking a step closer to him

"That information is off-limits!" He said stepping closer to her sword at the ready

Riiku was pushed back by Roxas and Axel suddenly, the other girls were crowded around her.

"Stay back Rii!" Axel said whipping blood off his chin

"Y-Ya he's dangerous!" Roxas said holding his self up

"Don't be silly guys," Riiku said laughing "I grew up with…"

Riiku fell on to her butt holding her shoulder, she was bleeding. Malixs had cut her on the shoulder; she looked up into his blue eyes with a blank stare, tears in her eyes.

"M-M-Malixs?" she whispered

He smiled at her teasingly as if to say "Show me why I wasted my time with you!", but Axel and Roxas attacked him. They were knocked backwards again, Roxas coughed up blood and Axel was trying to pull himself back up before Malixs attacked the others. Malixs went to attack Riiku with another blow but Roxas ran in front of her taking it in full. He fell in front of Riiku; she had been splattered by his blood.

"ROXAS!!" She screamed

"I-I-I'm o-okay R-Riiku!" He said pulling himself back up

The two boys, badly wounded, stood in front of the others, protecting them; well Malixs toyed with them. Riiku could tell that he was only using 10% of his strength by doing so.

"Roxas!" Axel called as he jumped at Malixs

"Axel," Roxas nodded "Let's do this Malixs! Give me your best!"

"What ever you say Rox-as!" Malixs called running at him

"STOP!!" Riiku shouted getting in the way of the two boys and holding out her arms

Malixs and Roxas slid to a stop 2 sec before hitting Riiku.

"Hay! What's the big idea--" Malixs died off as Axel hit him

The two of them struggled for a few minutes before Roxas got into the mix, Riiku watched in horror trying to stop it all. Roxas got up and dusted himself off after getting knocked off his feet by Malixs, Malixs was just about to knock Roxas down again, when the earth started to quake. The rain had stopped long ago and all of a sudden all around them people were screaming and yelling and running. Her friends were starting to get up and they were looking around at all the people running. The 6 friends started to get separated, but Riiku was desperate. Desperate to cling on to the only good memories she had.

"MEET A THE HILL!" she cried

"OKAY!" Everyone shouted back

Riiku was too weak to get up and everyone was gone, but then she felt someone grab her around the waist and pull her up, she looked behind her to see Malixs.

"You gotta keep moving Riiku." He said

"Malixs!" She cried wrapping her arms around his neck

He was back the boy she knew as a kid was back or for now he was, tears streamed down her face; she kept thinking He's back! He's back! Oh 6 years and he finally back!

Malixs looked down at Riiku; she seemed to still be the same old cry baby little girl he had known as a kid. He smiled at this thought and stroked her hair the way he had the first day he met her.

(Flash back)

"What's wrong?" he asked

She raised her head, tears streaming down her face. He jumped back a bit when she flung herself at him. She sobbed into his shoulder; muttering something about her father. Malixs looked at her and smiled slightly. He stroked her hair comfortingly; she turned her head to the side and looked up at him.

"…"

"Why all the tears?"

"... My father is leaving my mother and me…"

"Oh…" he said still stroking her hair

She didn't say anything more then that, she stayed in his arms a bit longer before pulling away muttering sorry and getting up. She had her back to him when she said her name.

"My name is Riiku…"

Malixs looked at her; she had short/long silver hair and he remembered her eyes were mint green colored, he smiled.

"My name is Malixs!"

"Malixs?" she said

"Ya," he said smiling with his arms crossed "You know what…I like you let's be friends!"

She turned around and stared at him, she then smiled.

"Ok!"

(End of Flash back)

Malixs snapped back into the present, he smiled down at Riiku. He pushed her away from him just a bit and grabbed her hand. Nodding his head towards where they were heading.

Riiku looked at him and smiled.

"Let's get moving!" he said

"Right!" she said half running half being dragged behind Malixs

*********

They were at the train station, waiting for the train that would take them to the hill, when they were attacked by nobodies and heartless. Malixs took out his sword and got ready to fight. Riiku stood behind him waiting for the train. Just as the train pulled up over 80 nobodies and heartless were surrounding them.

"Riiku get on the train!" he yelled fighting the heartless and nobodies at the same time

"No! I won't leave you here!" she replied

"Listen to me Riiku, I know you said everyone to meet there, but I'm dangerous!!" He said

"No! No you're not!" she cried

"Yes I am…Riiku go! Save yourself!" Malixs said turning slightly to look at her

"But!" Riiku started

"I'll catch up…" he said

"…"

"But what if something goes wrong," she said tears showing in her eyes "What if you get hurt or killed or something?"

"I won't get hurt…" he said

"No! I absolutely will not go!" Riiku said holding her ground

"JUST GO," Malixs shouted knocking back a heartless away from Riiku "YOU'LL GET HURT!!"

"No I won't," she cried "I don't wanna go Malixs! Please come with me!"

"Still the same old girl I use to know," he said shaking his head "I can't I have to hold them off and you have to go now!"

He grabbed Riiku by the hand and dragged her over to the train, she fought him a bit, and he pushed her in the train just as it pulled off. He headed back to the fight and got ready to knock the heartless and nobodies down, he turned around to make sure she was still on the train and he caught the look in her eyes, they said 'Do you promise this time? Do you promise you'll be ok?' but she still stood with the door open watching him until half way down the track then she closed the door and he was left alone to fight.

"I promise…" was all he said aloud to himself before attacking the heartless and nobodies

************************************

Riiku got off the train when it reached the other part of town. It was worse there then it was in the other part of town. Some of the buildings had fallen in and the ground was cracked. She looked back at the train, she still saw Malixs standing there fighting.

She shook her head and headed down the stairs carefully, trying not to fall down them. She ran through the streets of the town, she was almost to the hill when she was attacked by a group of heartless. She lied there on the ground waiting to die when suddenly the heartless all disappeared. She heard a voice:

"Get to the hill!"

She did not wait to see who it was but ran up the path to the top of the hill. She reached the top expecting to see everyone there, but no one was there but her. She sat on the ground and waited, a few minutes later she heard foot steps behind her. She turned around hoping to see the others but came face to face with a black hooded figure. She scrambled to her feet, never taking her eyes off the strange man.

"W-Who are you?" she asked

"……."

"What do you want?"

"What do I want?" the man repeated her

She nodded

"I want you to come with me," he said "My boss has need for you…"

"N-need for me?" she asked

The man nodded

"Ok…I won't go with you until I know your name." she said

"My…name?" he said

Riiku looked at him ready to fight with her bare hands

"My name is Demyx…" he said

"Demyx?" Riiku repeated him

"Yes." Demyx said

She blinked and smiled mockingly

"Where did you come from," she said "What do you want with me?"

"I came from Organization XIII," he said "and we need your power!"

" Power?"

"Yes, you posses great power, over Riku and his heart…"

She looked at him for a long time before saying anything else

"If you want my power over Riku, you'll have to make me go by force!"

"Ugh…..why do I always have to do the fighting?" Demyx said to himself with a sigh

Riiku got into a ready stance, and Demyx called out his Sitar, he then called out some water things. Riiku took many hits and got knocked around a lot; she also hit Demyx a bit. Riiku went for another hit to Demyx's face, but was knocked really hard in the head by one of Demyx's things, she hit the ground hard and stared dazed up at Demyx. The last thing she remembered seeing was Demyx opening a portal and leaning over her and then someone pushing him out of the way and he leaned over her and smiled, Who? W-what? Malixs? No it can't be Malixs is still fighting! Then who...is he Malixs' nobody? The nobody smiled down at her, he picked her up and headed for a different portal.

"My name is Maxsus," Maxsus said "You don't know me but I know you, I even know who your friends are."

"W-What?" was all she had time to say before everything went……..black
