Koi Genso (Love is an Illusion)
Part 5 Reunion Gone Bad
Riku's POV
"Kurai wake up" I shook her awake she sat up and rubbed her eyes. "I want to see Sora" the moment I mentioned his name she jumped up.
"Sora when and where" she was jumping up and down.
"Just get dressed and we'll go" I walked out of the room she came out 5 minutes and we left for Traverse town and waited for Sora.
"Sora there you are we've been looking for you" I said smirking.
"Riku you're here" Sora came up to me and pinched my cheeks.
"Alright then stop" I pushed his hands down.
"Kurai how are you?"Mai asked looking at Kurai and reaching for her.
"You must be Mai I'm sorry I didn't know you before" she stepped away from the hand.
"How can you still not know me we're best friends" the hand was retreated to her side.
"I feel like I know you but I don't" Mai stepped back to Sora
"So this is a keyblade" I held it in my hands looking at it.
"Hey give it back" Sora reached for it but I jumped back he almost fell.
"Catch" I threw it to him I saw Kurai flinch. Sora caught it.
"You should come with us" Sora grinned
"No they can't" The duck replied. Sora started arguing with the duck when the dog looked at them me and Kurai made our escape.
"You see he has new companions when you were off searching for your other friends" Maleficent said as we watched Sora and the others talking.
"No you're wrong" Kurai exclaimed and ran off.
"Kurai stop" but she kept running.
"Go after her" Maleficent said I ran after Kurai and caught up to her
"Kurai what's wrong"
"I've had enough of these headaches something's in my head and wants to get out I need to find out what" she closed her eyes and fainted
Kurai's POV
I stood in front of a cage. "Where am I?" I looked around frantic and panicking.
"In your mind or my mind which you rudely took over" a voice oddly sounding like mine said. A light shone and it showed a mirror image of me but wearing all black.
"You're me" I said as I took a step away from the cage.
"Of course I am I forgot how much of an idiot I am when I was all goody goody" she was glaring at me with her arms crossed.
"I had to do it" a girl stepped out of the shadows.
"So the culprit comes out hey Kurai would you really like to remember Mai and Sora and everybody else" my mirror self asked I nodded I saw her smile. "Then grab my hand" I walked toward her and she unfolded her arms and held a hand through the bars.
"Don't do it" the girl warned me but I wanted to desperately know who these people are.
"Shut it Yuumei" she grabbed my hand "if I want my body back this is the only way." I tried wrenching it out but I couldn't and soon I was swallowed into my mirror self. "Now to get back to Riku."
Riku's POV
Kurai was engulfed in black then it disappeared and revealed Kurai wearing all black she opened her eyes. "Hey Riku what's up I suggest we go before Sora and the others come"
"What happened Kurai?" I asked her looking her up and down at her new outfit.
"that girl that was here before would have been the me now if my life didn't go downhill but since it did I became all goth which is why I'm in black now understand" I nodded "good now let's go" she opened a portal which I stepped through then her she didn't faint. "I can use more power now don't worry I won't faint anymore"
We went to our room and she sat down on the bed. "I remember everything by the way so I know that Mai is actually my best friend and that we've kissed but that wasn't really me" she motioned for me to sit next to her. "I'm sorry for this but I don't want you to remember the girl I once was" she tapped my forehead I fainted and my head fell in her lap. "I can longer be that girl so what's the point of remembering a girl who hardly existed."
Kurai's POV
I lay Riku down and went to bed myself to talk to Yuumei. "Don't ever try that again I won't hesitate to kill a part of myself."
"I know I just wanted to protect you." I could hear her pleading.
"You want my power all to yourself don't lie to me that's why that girl was created to keep the evil out since she had more light than dark." I said casually as if I was used to being used… which I was.
"You are right I didn't want someone to take over you since it's much easier for them." I heard her sigh and walk away from me.
"That is true because you need to make me trust you when they only need to get in to possess me" I sighed "don't worry it won't happen"
I woke up to find Riku still asleep I went to the room where Maleficent could see how Sora's journey was going. The room was dark the only light illuminated was from the green table in the middle; I walked toward it and looked. Sora and the others seemed to be flying towards Halloween Town; I decided to go see them to revise my reunion with them earlier.
I arrived at Halloween Town I dressed up as a black bunny to blend in. I walked around not seeing Sora or Mai, I bumped into someone. "Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going" the girl said
"Just watch where you're going kid" I walked away.
"The names not kid its Hoshi!" she shouted after me, I put up my hand to show that I heard her.
Hoshi's POV
"what a weird person but that's the first time I've seen someone human" I walked and once again bumped into someone it was a boy with brown spiky hair and a girl was standing next to him. "Hey are you guys with that other girl"
"What girl?" the girl asked while the boy looked confused.
"she had black hair and was wearing all black and a choker that has a small heart with bat wings coming out of it" I replied.
"That must be Kurai" she looked disappointed.
"Wait Kurai as in my sister" my eyes widened as the girl looked at me with confusion.
"Kurai has no sisters she's an only child" she stated.
"I was abandoned when born because of this mark" I pulled my shirt down to show the base of my neck and showed the mark that looked like a crescent moon with a wolf entangled with it. "I came here with a man in a cloak never said his name and that's it my names Hoshi what are yours"
"Mines Mai and this is Sora Donald and Goofy" Mai said pointing to the individual they all waved.
"Did you see a boy with her?" Sora asked me
"nope just her " Sora saddened I don't know why though "you said your names Mai right well Yuri has been looking for you"
"Yuri?" she looked at me confused. "Can we walk and talk about this we really should get moving" she dragged Sora off.
While we walked to the professor's lab I explained. "Your sister although I guess you don't remember her"
"I have a fuzzy image of her now that you reminded me but I'd have to meet her"
"Well then you better get to Neverland" she nodded and Sora turned to us.
"Okay girls we have got to figure out the heartless problem here" we both nodded and walked out I noticed a shadow move when we did.
"Hey you step out of the shadows" the shadow stepped out and it was Kurai
"I don't have a sister I don't know why you're even here"
"You're back to your old self"
"Of course I am I just wanted to see this place it's so dull oh and Sora watch out" she held out her hand and heartless came out of the ground and attacked the group. "See ya later" she waved and disappeared.
Once we defeated Oogie Boogie we went to the center plaza to talk. "Why don't you come with us to find your sister" he looked to Donald. "And don't even think about leaving her Kurai is her family." Donald looked defeated and just nodded a yes.
"Alright shall we go" Sora nodded and I followed the group onto a ship
"Follow me they have to have spare clothes here somewhere" Mai said walking toward the back I noticed that everyone was out of their costume except for me when we arrived on the ship I followed Mai and she started to throw clothes at me. Ten minutes later I was in a regular outfit as I looked myself in the mirror I noticed how white my skin was since there was never any sun I never did get a tan. My outfit consisted of a white collar shirt that was sleeveless and a black skirt that came down to my knees.
"Our next destination is Monstro I'm sorry we can't go to Neverland yet" she told me when I was in the room we were sharing.
I sat down on the bed swinging my legs. "It's all right as long as we get there right" she nodded and sat next to me.
"Do you know why you have a mark?"She asked looking at the floor as if she was ashamed she asked the question.
"Yeah I'm harboring a light that is the exact opposite of the darkness Kurai has" I replied calmly as I saw her shocked expression. "I don't know how to explain it but I guess you could call her a demon but she's made up of light while Kurai has Yuumei who is made up of darkness, the two of them are sisters just like me and Kurai so I wonder if that has something to do with it." I flopped back onto the bed. "I'll tell you more once I understand it myself" she nodded then the gummi ship rocked.
"It's Monstro" I heard in the distance I hit the floor hard next thing I know I'm knocked unconscious seeing black.
