What Have You Done?

by XionTheBlackRose

Riku realizes he's killed Sora, but not only that, he may have put Sora's soul in eternal danger. Sora's ghost haunts Riku, trying to find the reasons behind his murder, and he has to figure it out quick, or he'll be swallowed by the Abyss, where he will suffer eternally. He must find and make peace with Riku's inner turmoil before it's too late, otherwise he'll be lost forever.

2. Building Anger

Two days earlier...

"Riku!" Sora runs up beside me.

I turn and smile, "Oh, hey, Sora, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing, anyway, I heard you and Xion are an item now?" he asks.

"Not really, we went out, like, once, I think." I shrug, "Not that big of a deal."

"I see." he frowns, "Then you won't mind to know.."

I raise an eyebrow, "Know what, Sora?"

"Okay, look, Riku," he sighs, "Xion doesn't even like you.. I heard her talking to Selphie, who talked to Kairi. Xion is playing you.."

"What do you mean?" I ask, trying to stay calm, because the truth is, I do really like Xion..

"Xion told Selphie the only reason she's getting friendly with you is so she can 'smuggle' me from Kairi. Kairi wasn't too happy about that.." he explains.

I groan, "Great.."

"Are you okay?" he asks.

"Fine." I sigh, "I'll be just fine.."

"Why are you looking at me like that..?" he asks, his eyes widening slightly in fear.

I clench my fists, "You know what, Sora? Sometimes I just wish you weren't here so I would actually have a shot with some of the nicer girls around here, who are just so 'smitten' with you!"

He flinches, "You don't mean that.."

"Oh, but I do." I growl, turning and walking away from him.

That night I lay in bed, glaring at the ceiling. I sigh, "I'm such a jerk sometimes.."

I turn and get off the bed and grab my phone off my computer desk.

No messages, guess he doesn't want to talk. Why am I so angry still? This is ridiculous..

I sigh and dial his number and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello, you've reached my voice mail, leave a message and I'll get back to you!" Sora's automatic voice says.

BEEP.

"Hey, man, look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things to you. Call me or text me." I hang up the phone with a heavy sigh.

I turn on my computer and I have an E-Mail from Xion.

Hey!

How's it going, Riku? Are you excited for our date tomorrow?

I glare at the screen and type angrily:

Don't talk to me.

I know what you did. I know you're really after Sora, and let me tell you, hr's into Kairi, so just let it go. I'm no one's play thing. Don't talk to me again. We're not going out, and we're not friends.

I hit SEND and look at the time. Almost eleven. I sigh and get in bed. I had a strange dream. I was standing in the middle of a field, the wind was blowing hard, the sky was dark, but I knew it was daytime. I turn and see Sora looking at me, watching me. He looks so horrified and sad. I call out to him but he doesn't respond. I take a step towards him and he backs away.

"Sora?" I ask.

"What have you done?" his voice was so soft and quiet, I'm not sure how I even heard it over the roar of the wind.

"Riku... What have you done?" he repeats, "What have you done?"

"What have you done...?"

"What have you done..?"

"What have you done?"

"What have you done?!"

"What have you done?!"

"What have you done?!"

"What have you done?!"

"What have you done?!"

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

I woke with a start and couldn't get back to sleep for an hour and a half.

The next day...
