So that's twice I have died now. The first time Riku saved me and this time he killed me. Life isn't fair, not that that matters to me anymore since I'm dead. Sure, I am a Heartless, but that's as good as dead. What am I going to do? Something was telling to go find Riku. Why? I don't know. He's the one who killed me in the first place.What was I supposed to do? Go up to him and say, "Hey, Riku. It's your boyfriend that you killed. Fancy that. I am a Heartless now."
I ignored that annoying little voice and decided to go find my body. Looking around, I could tell that all i had to do was turn the corner. When I did, I saw Roxas and well...Roxas. I scanned the area for my body and realized it wasn't there.
Turning around, I decided to leave before the other Roxas saw me. Remember, I'm a Heartless and I'm liable to get killed since everyone kills them. I guess it was time to follow my conscience. Why I would find Riku, I still have no idea, but I guess it couldn't really hurt.
I wandered around and realized my back was hurting. It wasn't from the blade Riku stabbed me with, it was hunching over so much. For some reason, it was natural. Finally, I caught sight of Riku. Riku had his blindfold back on and his blade was out which did not have blood on it anymore. He must have wiped it off. Then Shadows popped up and began to attack him. All I could do was run over to him. I was the last Heartless to arrive and by the time I had gotten there, the others were dead.
He sensed me and raised his blade. That's when I did the only thing I could think to do. I stared at him. I was hoping my eyes would tell him who I was even though he wore his blindfold. He swung his blade and I somehow dodged it, then I continued to stare at him. Riku continued to swing at me. He even hit me a few times, but I refused to give up. Finally, he noticed that I wasn't attacking him.
"Why aren't you attacking me like the others?"
By this time, I was tired. If I had blood in my body, it would have been pouring out. I continued to stare at him and even walked closer. Since I couldn't talk, I just stared at him. Riku seemed to always know about eyes so maybe he'll know mine. Finally, he removed his blindfold from his face and looked at me. About damn time!
"Those eyes...they remind me of...Sora!"
Riku lowered his blade and ran around to see if he could find my body. I wish there was some way I could tell him it's useless since my body disappeared.
Instead of finding me, he found Roxas and Roxas.
As soon as Riku ran up, both of them jumped up and summoned a keyblade. I never noticed how common keyblades are! The Roxas from here looked and pointed his keyblade at me. Yup. Here came the death of me for the third damn time.
The vampire Roxas glared at Riku and started running at him, which was no surprise. Riku pulled out his blade and blocked Roxas just in time. As I dodged the other Roxas, I looked and saw mass confusion in Riku's eyes. He looked at if he had no idea what the hell was going on.
"Roxas! What the hell are you doing? Trying to kill me!?" Riku yelled parrying another attack.
It was hard to watch the battle while keeping my head on at the same time. Luckily, this Roxas wasn't as skilled as I was.
Roxas slashed his blade at him and yelled, "I should be asking you the same thing! You almost murdered me. If Sora hadn't have saved me, I wouldn't be here right now!"
"Okay!? Where is he!? What have you done to Sora?!" yelled Riku swinging his blade at Roxas.
At this, the Roxas I was fighting against stopped, but not before almost decapitating me. How I managed to dodge that, God only knows.
Twilight Town Roxas, looked at Riku and entered their conversation.
"You killed him! I could never mistaken your eyes! And you also have the same blade!"
This grabbed Riku's attention and Roxas knocked the snot out of his stomach. It's amazing how fast Riku got distracted. He looked at Roxas (the one I was fighting a few minutes ago) and stared.
"That's not true! I would never hurt him. Where's his body? Do you have proof?"
Both of the Roxas's shook their heads.
"He disappeared." said the vampire Roxas. This is getting annoying to say who's who.
Then all three looked at me. Great. One against three.
Riku walked up and looked me over. I was surprised he didn't start attacking me. Before anything could be said, a fat Heartless appeared and started swinging its arms.
"A Large Body!" yelled the vampire Roxas.
Just as the Large Body slid it's way toward us, Riku jumped at me and covered me as he yelled, "Sora!"
I felt weird as light surrounded me. Am I dead yet? Was that why I had light going around me? Apparently not. I felt new clothes being put on as I was lifted into the air. I felt two keyblades rest in my hands, one in each.
As my feet touched the ground, I felt a new power overwhelm me. I was faster and stronger than I had ever felt before. It took two hits to make the Large Body disinigrate into thin air. This thing was a lot easier than before! I felt new and not like a vampire now. Did that mean I wasn't one anymore?
I turned and looked at Riku. Slowly, I walked towards him and said, "It's true. You stuck your blade right through my back." As I said this, I felt a lie burning my tongue. Those eyes did not belong to Riku that I had loved. They belonged to our killer and I was starting to come up with a conclusion on what had happened.
Riku looked at me straight in the eyes and said, "Sora, I did not kill you. Why would you think I would do such a thing?"
I could feel all eyes glue to me. They, too, seemed to know something was different. What it was, I have no idea. He was right, of course. I really don't think he was the one to do it. Riku's eyes never have lied to me and they weren't lying now.
"You're right. It wasn't you, but it was someone dressed as you. I don't know who it was, but I want to pay them back."
I guess Riku had never seen me want to get revenge before. Come to think of it, I had changed since the beginning of the school year. I was scared of every little thing and now, I wanted to hunt down my killer. There was one good thing that came out of this whole situation and I don't mean me having yet another chance at living.
"I feel different, better. Whoever it was that had killed me, had taken the vampirism right out of me. I'm not craving blood anymore and I can feel it pumping through my body."
Riku looked up at me with happy eyes. He seemed glad that I was no longer a vampire, but there was a teeny little problem.
"I have no idea how to change out of these clothes," I said, looking at them and wondered where my cloak went. Oh well. I guess I could always get another one.
I looked over at Riku and we both knew what was going to come next. Looks like it's time to pay yet another visit to Diz.
