Separation
The night after Xion returns to the Organization, Riku goes outside onto the same balcony he'd stood on the night after their first meeting at Beast's Castle.
He knows that, in the end, she'll help Sora no matter what it means for her. He knows her well enough to know she'll sacrifice herself for the sake of everyone else.
Riku feels an empty ache inside his chest and puts a hand over his heart, sighing deeply.
If this separation hurts him so badly he does not look forward to the day when he'll have to part ways with her forever.
Author: I wondered what Riku's thoughts were on letting Xion go back to her friends for a long time. This is the end result of that wondering. ^^
I feel kind of bad for him, like Xion on the clocktower... He doesn't know she'll be coming back someday at this point. :C
To my reviewers:
Toaneo07 Ver2.0: Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! :)
vanitas1776: Thanks for both reviews! I agree, I enjoyed writing 75 more as well. I'm a sucker for such things. ^^ And I also agree with what you say about 76, that's why I had him use a Cure related spell. I'm sure he'll work his way toward the light side of magic now... The Healer of Darkness thing was funny, though! :)
Espionage247: That's fine, and that one drabble is my favorite one of the last several as well. ^^ Thanks a lot!
See ya next time!
