ShadowedDarkness: Okaaaay…so I'm positively sure everyone wants to kill me after that cliffhanger I left last chapter, and then me not updating for like….forever XD

I want to apologize so much for the wait. I was having problems trying to get my ideas down on the paper. So anywho's….Once again this chapter will not be in Sora's P.O.V.

That and once again….I….(sob)

Sora: She doesn't own anything. Except for the plot…(pats back soothingly)..It's okay. You might own something…someday…..XD"

P.S: For all those who have read this previously, before you continue I highly suggest you go back and re-read the older chapters. I re-did all of them because, after trying to continue from where this chapter leaves off, I noticed all the horrible mistakes I made previously and how the chapters didn't add up to one another…leaving gaping plot holes…

So please, go back and read them again…I highly suggest it. You don't have to…but if you don't, you might get lost and or majorly confuzzled later on…

Thank you

Shadow

Memory

Jumping back, he stared in horror at the figure before him as lightening flashed behind him, illuminating the other's features. Chestnut brown hair that defied gravity, a heart shaped face, and red eyes...

Shit…

A malicious smirk flowed across the brunette's face, an ugly look that distorted his features. Red eyes fixed on aqua, giggles escaping his lips. "Hello Ri-ku, miss me?"

Riku took a step back. Well fuck, he found Sora...

…sort of….

"Awww, you don't look happy to see me. I'm hurt." Sora pouted, his hand going to his heart in mock gesture. Giggling he took a step forward. "In fact…" he tapped his chin thoughtfully. "…you almost look…" More giggles overtook the brunette, and suddenly he was gone.

Aqua eyes widened. Where the hell did he go?! He jumped when arms wrapped around him from behind, Sora's voice whispered 'innocently' into his ear. "… scared of little ol' me."

The brunette laughed, a manic look in his eyes as he slowly ran his tongue up the flat side of the knife. "Don't be scared…" He whispered, slowly cornering the woman against the wall. "…I'm only going to kill you…"

"SORA! DON'T!"

His stomach lurched. Frantically he pulled away from the arms and spun around to find the smirking face of his best friend. "Remember something?"

Taking three hurried steps back, Riku pivoted on his foot and raced out the door and into the rain, turning sharply to the right. He needed to run, he needed to run. That may have been the face of Sora, but Sora himself, he was gone. This…this imposter wearing Sora's skin…wouldn't hesitate to kill him…

He needed some form of a plan….and right now, that plan held running…a lot of running….

Leaning heavily against the door frame, the Brunette moaned, red eyes watching Riku's flight "Yeeeeees…" He licked his lips. "Oh yeees, run… I lo-o-ove playing cat and mouse."

He stepped slowly out into the rain, and with a flash of lighting, he was gone.

X.x.X.x.X.x

Hands holding a crystal ball shook, the crystal ball slowly beginning to crack as anger took over the cloaked person who was holding it.

"So it has begun…" The cloaked figure whispered, turning to face a certain winged child who was kneeling obediently behind him. "…what have you done, telling him to remember? That was the last thing we wanted….that physical reaction is what we have been trying to avoid!"

"…I…am sorry…master…" The winged one answered through clenched teeth, his eyes trained on the ground, one hand curling into a tight fist.

Laughter resonated through the room. "No you're not. Not in the slightest, are you, Roxas?"

Blue eyes looked up defiantly. "No."

A sound of a slap resonated throughout the room, Roxas clutching his cheek. "I didn't think you were. You were interested in the one who looked so much like you…who is just like you…" He sighed wearily. "So many years of trying to suppress…"

Roxas growled. "With all do respect, master Diz, he was already remembering."

With that the crystal ball shattered, and Diz just smiled, his eyes glowing through the red wraps around his head.

X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x

Riku continued to run frantically, aqua eyes wildly looking for some form of help. The giggling, that horrible and never ending giggling was all around him. No matter where he ran, he could here it coming at him from all angles. First from his left, then his right, above him, below him, smothering him…

Every time the lightning flashed, he swore he saw the shadows around him moving, jumping at him.

But he continued on, rain pelting his face.

Biting his lip he ran faster. His legs were burning and his chest ached, but that didn't matter, what mattered was running. He had needed to find Sora just a little bit too late.

He cried out in surprise as he slipped, his arms pin wheeling wildly, as he began to fall. He clenched his eyes, bracing for the impact, only to feel arms encircle him. Blinking in surprise he looked up.

"L-Leon?" What the hell was Seifer's already graduated arch nemesis doing here?

The scarred brunette nodded his head. "You okay?"

Riku opened his mouth, intending to reply, when he heard it. The giggling. Aqua eyes widened, and without second thought, grabbed Leon's wrist and began to sprint as fast as he could.

The brunette stumbled in surprise, caught himself, and found himself sprinting next to the silver haired teen. "Why are we running?!"

But Riku failed to supply him with an answer, except for running faster.

There was a flash of lightning, and suddenly they both came to a dead stop. There, in front of them, was Sora. The smaller brunette giggled and stepped forward, suddenly right in front of them. "Why dear Leon, you're both running from me of course."

Leon was stunned as he gazed into Sora' eyes…

…they were…red…?

Leon felt…mesmerized. Those eyes…

The smaller brunette turned away to lock eyes with the panting silver haired teen beside him. His hand pressed against Riku's chest, slowly running up it, and pulled him closer, leaning his head against his chest. "You're time-"

Riku froze, eyes widening and his hand tightening painfully on Leon's wrist.

"-is up. You bore me." Sora whispered softly.

Another flash of lightning, and Leon saw the knife. The knife attached to Sora's small hand, poised and ready to strike Riku's back. Eyes widening, Leon was finally pulled from his trance like state, and cried out Riku's name, jerking him away from the deadly brunette's grasp just as the knife came down.

Riku cried out as the knife grazed his arm, and stumbled into the safety of the older's grip, dazed.

Sora turned furious red eyes to where Riku now stood with the support of Leon. His face darkening into an angry scowl. "It's rude to interrupt a game you know." He hissed pointedly at Leon.

His eyes swiveled over to Riku and his face lightened when he noticed a dark red liquid dripping down his arm, mixing with the rain on its descent and turning a light pink color. The brunette was fixated with the sight, his tongue coming out to lick at his lips, a hungry look spiraling through his eyes. "You can join though." He whispered, his statement directed towards Leon, but his eyes continued to stare at Riku's injured arm.

The brunette took one unsteady step forward, and he was in front of them again. Leon went to pull both him and Riku back, but Sora pushed Leon away with an unnatural strength, the larger brunette flying through the air and landing on the ground a few yards away. The knife slipped from Sora's grip as he brought one shaky hand up, curling it around the silver haired teen's shoulder painfully. Riku struggled against the powerful hold as Sora leaned forward, his face inching closer to the gash on his arm, giving the red substance a tentative lick.

Something within the small brunette snapped, his mouth and tongue furiously working to get as much of the crimson fluid in to his mouth.

Riku pushed Sora's face away from his arm in horror. The brunette struggled to get more. He wanted more. More!

Without thinking Riku pulled Sora towards him, his arms wrapping around him in a tight embrace, pinning the struggling brunette against him. "Please…" The brunette struggled more. "Please…Sora…come back to me, please."

All movement ceased. Sora looked up, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth; tears welling up in his eyes…his big blue eyes…

"Riku…" He whispered fearfully. "What…have I…done…?"

A desperate and anguished filled cry escaped Sora's lips, as he buried his face into Riku's chest, sobs racking his frame, rain mingling with tears and blood…
