Sorry about double posting but i don't think you guys mind
Chapter 5: Promise
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
My mind went totally blank. I couldn’t form words. Things didn’t make sense anymore. How did Riku get here? Where was the King? Was Riku going to try and kill me like he did in my dream?
“Hello, Sora” Fear enveloped me. His tone of voice was hard and cold, like nothing was going to reach his sleeping soul. I dismissed my keyblade, that was lying on the ground, and stood with shaky legs.
“Ri...Ri.....Riku? How did you get here? Are you ok?” He just stood there, with a smirk on his face. I tried to walk towards him but something was making it hard.
“Sora, remember what you promised me?” I stood still. My mind raced for the said promise. Finally I rembered.
“Take care of her.” and I nodded my head in a yes as I closed the door.
“Riku, I promised her that I would come back but I would have to get you and the King first.” His grin quickly faded. His grip on the soul eater tightened and fear pumped through my veins. Why was he so upset? I know I promised him that I would take care of Kairi but Destiny Island and me fighting the heartless was the best I could do right now.
“I am taking care of her. I’m keeping the heartless away from her and she’s back home.” He just glared at me.
“That’s not good enough. I trusted you Sora, to be there with her. I NEVER ASKED YOU TO FIND ME!” I took a step back as Riku yelled at me. Why was he acting this way? He had no right to judge me. He’s the one that put Kairi in danger in the first place. I mean he almost had her heart taken away!
“This....this isn’t right! Riku I came looking for you because you’re my best friend! You didn’t need to ask me to find you!” Anger was starting to bubble inside me. He was acting so stupid and had no reason to be that way.
“You don’t deserve her and you betrayed me Sora!” He lunged at me with the soul edge, just like he had in my dream. I suddenly remembered Kairi’s warning.
“Sora,” she said, “soon you will have to face what you think you fear. Please don’t give in to those fears.” Could she have been talking about Riku? I had no time to think. I summoned my keyblade and dodged Riku. He didn’t expect me to move and stubbled forward. He quickly spun around and put both hands on his sword.
“I don’t want to fight you Riku!” My pleas weren’t reaching him and he ran at me again. I couldn’t dodge this time and had to block his attack with my keyblade. He kept pushing down on my keyblade, forcing me down onto my knees. I had to think of a plan and fast or Riku was going to kill me. Having me at a disadvantage, Riku leaned into my face and whispered.
“You never loved her. You only wanted her because I did.” My mind was overtaken in rage. I no longer cared who he was or what relationship we had. He was going down.
I pushed on my keyblade with all my strength, knocking back Riku a couple of steps. I then turned the tables by lunging at him. He turned so that his back and mine were up against each other. I tried to turn to face him but he matched my move. Swiftly I took my keyblade and as he tried to turn tripped him.
Unfortunately he didn’t fall like I planned but back flipped out of the way. We were back where we started, staring each other down. I could no longer stand the sight of him. What the hell did he know about me? We started to run at each other, each holding our weapons out for a final strike. As we crossed paths I looked over at Riku. To my surprise he had a smirk on his face. That was my breaking point. I put keyblade off to the side, knocking the air out of Riku. I then spun around and gave him the exact same slice down his back. He stumbled forward in pain but I didn’t care. He looked up at me, fear in his eyes but it was too lated. My keyblade went in for the final strike.
Suddenly I heard the large doors open. I looked over and saw Aerith come out, food tray in hand. She looked over my way and dropped the tray in horror. She fell to her knees and started to cry uncontrollably. I suddenly remembered where I was, and my anger subsided. I looked down at where the end of my keyblade was. Shock and nausea hit me all at once. There on his knees was Riku, with my keyblade stick out from his chest. His hands had fallen to his sides and his eyes were glazed over. I dropped my keyblade instantly. What had I done? I also dropped to my knees, rage and anguish overtaking me. Placing my hands over my ears with eyes turned down in horror, I screamed.
Ok i know you guys will hate me for doing this but it will become important later in the story!
