The Replica Theory

Chapter One-The Fear

On the day of my birth, my parents made a copy of me.

That copy was made because my blood type was rare somehow. He was made so that if anything in my body stopped working, I would have a perfect match for a transplant.

Of course, I'm grateful for that, I don't want to die. Though, I can't say I've liked him... He's lived with me as a brother, he was always a bit more outgoing that me, I just kind of found it annoying. Also, he's really easy-going. I'm more... Stiff and serious. No one likes that in a guy, once more, a wealthy, stuck-up person. My only true friends are Sora and Kairi.

Oh, and his name is Repliku. Mine, well, it's Riku. My parents are very, very wealthy and quite famous around the world for their research on human genetics. Hence, me having a clone. A perfectly, humanly functioning clone.

Of course, I'm also well-known as a young prodigy of the Fujioka family. I'm good at practically everything. Repliku, on the other hand, isn't all that great at the things I am good at. He can do some things, though, don't get me wrong.

Flashback

"Alright, Riku! Are you ready to go to the party?" Mom asked.

"Yeah! I'm ready!" 13-year-old me answered.

We left for the party. I felt bad because Repliku couldn't go out much, especially with me. We met with Dad when got there, he was waiting for us.

"Go have fun, Riku. Socialize with some girls, or anyone for that matter..." Dad told me, kind of ashamed of my anti-socialism...

"I will, don't worry." I said, not really caring to talk.

Sometime, when I wasn't paying attention, a window had broken and a smoke grenade had flown in. Before I knew it people were coughing an wheezing, I found myself doing it too. The lights were dimmed, it was almost impossible to see. Someone grabbed me, thy were clearly as tall a me since I could feel their breath on my neck, and tried to... Kidnap me? I didn't really know, but my reflexes kicked in and I was thrashing to fight them off.

"Get off me!" I yelled, loudly.

"Stop fighting me, boy!" A hoarse voice said to be in a whisper.

I finally broke through. As soon as I did, I ran to the nearest object that could be used as a weapon. Though, it was hard... I couldn't find anything that would hurt him, all I did was slow him down; for some reason, he wants me dead.

I found something, a microphone stand. A goddamned microphone stand. But, it'll work, it'll work just fine.

I hit him over the head hard. He staggered forward and fell down with a thud. The lights shut off completely. It would have been dead silent if it wasn't for the continuous arenas of people and little rich children.

The lights flickered on, it took a couple minutes, though, it seemed like forever.

He was gone. HE was GONE!

"Where did he go? I thought he was out of it!?" I panicked, I was paranoid. I was so scared that he would come back to get me.

After that my pearl rents rushed up to me to check on me. I tried to tell them what happened, but other people kept interrupting saying that they heard me yelling, which they did. It wasn't till I got home I was able to fully tell them it.

"There was this tall man, I mean, he was taller than me, and he tried to kidnap me, I think! I fought back right away and hit him with the microphone stand! He fell down, that's when the lights went out. When they came back on, he was gone..." I explained it a few times, for I spoke too fast at first.

"Did you see what his face looked like? Or maybe his clothes?" Mom spoke, probably with the same amount of paranoia I had.

"No... It was too dark... I'm sorry..." I said, disappointed in myself for not even trying to look at his face. I didn't think, I just did what I had to to make it out.

"It's okay, sweetie, just as long as you're safe, it doesn't matter." Mom gave a reassuring smile.

"Yes, son, that's all that matters!" Dad agreed with her.

"Thanks, Mom and Dad," I looked over from Mom to Dad. "I love you guys."

"We love you too!" They both said at the same time.

"Now, it's late, you should head off to bed. You have school tomorrow!" Mom sent me off to bed, I mean, I did have school the next day.

"Yeah, night." I said and went off to bed.

Though, how could I sleep? After all that... No one could, right? I didn't... I absolutely couldn't. I was so scared that he'd be back. Though, I KNEW he wouldn't, I was just scared... It was normal after traumatic events, right? Yeah. That's right, normal.

I. Am. Normal.

Present Day

Ever since that day, Mom and Dad have been just as paranoid. They never let me out without a chaperone. Or to anymore of their social parties, for that matter. I never wanted to go anyways, it just gave me a reason. A damned good reason.

Though, now I am 18, and technically an adult. Though I still lived with them because of their fear. I wanted to leave, to be free. But, I had the same fear.

I didn't like being out in public all alone. I always went out with Sora and Kairi. I loved hanging out with them, they were fun to be around. I really did like them a lot, and I relied on them too. Perhaps too much...?

I have to admit, I kinda had a crush on Kairi, too. She was absolutely stunning with her silky, dark reddish brown hair of her's. And he face was perfect, not a single blemish on it. And her voice could put you in a trance just like that! Oh, she's so beautiful. And, that's coming from me, a serious, stuck-up guy.

She had a sister too, Namine. She was quite pretty too, but not like Kairi. She had smooth, blond hair. Her face was a bit more childish than Kairi's too. And she preferred to where white or light colored things, Kairi didn't do that often. They were both incredibly smart. Oh, and did I mention they were princesses too?

We all go to a rich kids school. A private, rich kids school, for that matter. The people in it that weren't rich were the super smart, who were bound to end up rich.

We had a pretty good time there. The people were nice, a bit stuck-up and stubborn, like me. Some of then were straight up jerks though, I have to admit. Most weren't.

I thought about it again... That night... I wish I could forget my fear...

We had a party to go to that the people hosting it wanted me I attend. Kairi and Namine would be there, so I was up for it. But that fear...

Mom and Dad were against it. They were too afraid of a repeat of what happened before. They refused to allow it.

That's when Repliku came to mind.

He could go places instead of me when I am forced to go! That's it!

I brought the idea to Mom and Dad. They thought it was brilliant! Though, I did feel bad for him having to go and die if it does happen again... He's still like my brother, no matter what.

I went to ask him about it and...

"Of course I'll go! I never get to go to these things! Ohhhhh, it'll be so much fun! Thanks, Riku!" He exclaimed, wildly happy.

"Yeah, they can be fun sometimes. Listen, Kairi and Namine will be there, so... Act like you know then a little bit. I'm good friends with them, so be careful." I warned him.

"Alright! I will!" He was brimming with pure joy, and it was perfectly clear.

How can he be so damn cheery? I just told him he's going to a party for me since I'm being targeted... I guess it's just the way it is...

He better not blow it... Kairi does know about Repliku, but Namine doesn't... He better be careful around her...

The night of the party, Mom and Dad said that their numbers are on the fridge along with emergency numbers and addresses to go to. Repliku thanked me again with a smile, a really bright smile.

I told them bye and that I loved them. They said they same back. And, with that, they were off.
