It was all a bit of fun. Sora and Riku were boys, and boys loved to play-fight, They still used wooden swords, but sometimes they got carried away and ended up with Keyblades in their hands, panting as they faced off, sweating under the hot Islands sun.
Then, one day, Sora tried to Drive. Riku could tell from the light which exploded suddenly around him, but something went wrong. A moment later, there was a crouched form where Sora had stood, inky black with yellow eyes. Darkness trailed around it in wisps. It lifted its head and sniffed the air, beast-like. Riku stood petrified, the Keyblade hanging from nerveless fingers, as the creature loped towards him on four legs, stopping only a few feet away.
"Rrri-kuu," it said, the voice a terrible, rasping mockery of Sora's. "Rrri-kuu."
The unmistakable stench of darkness was overwhelming as the thing inched forward, keeping low to the ground. Riku took a step back and the shadow-Sora went rigid, yellow eyes flashing with a predatory glow.
"St…stay away," Riku warned, remembering his Keyblade and holding it out, pointing it at the thing. "Don't come any closer… where's Sora? What did you do to him?"
The thing crept nearer, never looking away from him.
"Rrri-kuu," it said again, then pounced.

A/N: Um, look, I'm sorry. First I had a PSAT to do then a party to go to, so I stayed away from my house for two days. Then the power was out because of the darn wind for two days. Cinderella opens tomorrow so I'll be out this weekend too... Plus I'm trying to get part 1 of Depths all done by Halloween.
Bottom line is, I'll have lots of catching up to do, but don't worry, there will be 31 stories in time for Halloween:D
