DISCLAIMER: Okay. After a while of thought, I've decided to re-publish this. And here it is. I'm sorry to all the old readers who have been waiting for me to complete the damn thing, as I said, my computer died and I've been insanely busy and have had no time to read. So yes, re-publishing now. I've also improved my spelling and other lovely things since now, looking back, I've noticed that my writing back then, was...bad. Anyways.

I don't own Disney or Squaresoft. Though I wish I owned Squaresoft because then I'd be...well, famous :D.

-----------------------~~Pull me through...

"..where am I now..?"

"...where is the light..?"

"...I'm sorry.."

"..will...you..forgive me...?"

"Sora"

---------------------

"Riku..please stop this...we can't fight forever!!" Sora pleaded, his face was stained with blood as his arms could barely maintain their grip around his only weapon, the keyblade.

"..Why...why did you leave us Sora, why did you leave Kairi and I behind for them!!" The silver haired warrior Riku wheezed, he too was exhausted, he waved an armored arm to the levitating bodies of Sora's collegues, the court wizard, Donald and the captain of the Knights, Goofy. He raised his sword into the air, the blade shaped like the wing of a demon glowed darkly, radiating dark energies which had been weakened by the vigorous battle. He prepared to strike his old friend, the friend who he thought was his best friend. Riku didn't know now.

"Riku..." The younger boy trailed off, raising his Keyblade weakly above his head, preparing to deflect another blow. His legs were barely holding him aloft, a cut on his temple suddenly worsened, blood trailed down his cheek and on to the cool blue marble floor.

Riku hesistated, he could feel the darkness trying to command him, to dominate his conscience, acting like a giant weight on the hilt of the deadly blade. He prepared to deal the final blow but suddenly he let go, the blade dropped from his fingertips, clattering to the floor.

"S..Sora...?" He was confused, why did he drop it?.

"I knew you couldn't do it...Riku..." Sora smiled weakly from behind the blood and bruises. There was a faint glitter as Riku's armor suddnely flickered away, the symbol of the Heartless peeled from his chest into dust, he was the Riku that Sora knew now, wearing the clothes from Destiny Island: a close-fitting yellow shirt and his suspended blue trousers.

The next thing Sora saw was Riku falling to his knees, staring blankly at the ground. Sora limped over to his friend, kneeling down before him, he could see tears forming in his friends face.

"I let the darkness consume me Sora,...I couldn't see...." A tear from Riku's eye hit a puddle of Sora's blood. The blood melding with the tear causing a liquidy red splotch on the ground.

Sora was hesistant, he didn't know what to do. He had to comfort him somehow, in a way he knew wouldn't hurt Riku.

"Hey...its alright..I forgive you...--" He was cut off.

"No!! - Its not alright Sora!!" Riku lashed forward, his arms were around Sora's body, his head buried within the younger boys chest, bursting with sobs. Sora gasped.

Sora found himself dropping the Keyblade to the ground and wrapping his arms around his friend, slowly running the palms of his hand on his back in comforting motions. "Its alright Riku..." was all he could say.

It snapped in Sora's mind about what he came here to do, he was here to find Kairi and help Goofy and Donald find the King they had told him so much about.

A handful of minutes passed until Sora finally grasped Riku's shoulders with his palms, gently pushing him away and looking at him kindly. "I..gotta help Goofy and Donald find their King..and save Kairi.." Sora spoke gently and calmly to his silver haired friend, trying to reassure him, unwanting to leave him.

For the first time in Sora's life he saw Riku look scared and glowing with innocence like a young child.

"...Y-Yeah..Okay." The older boy was hesistant but understood what Sora had to do. Slowly and carefully Sora stood up, digging his hand into the right pocket of his red shorts and pulling out a potion, hurling it into the air above him before being showered with its contents. A tranquil healing wash closed all but the most fatal of Sora's wounds, renewing his strength.

"I'll be back soon, take it easy." Sora smiled reassuringly at his friend, summoning the Keyblade to his right hand in a shower of sparkles. Quickly, Sora revived Donald and Goofy with more potions, the dog and the duck gave Riku strange glares of anger before following Sora up the stairs of Hollow Bastion and deeper into the dungeon.

Riku crawled to a wall, sitting against it patiently. He closed his eyes and began to contemplate.

------------------------END - CHAPTER 01-----------------------------

Eeeeeeeee!! - Chapter 01. I showed this to some friends and they want me to turn this into a lemon. What about Kairi though? - I don't know yet. O_o; I knew thought about Riku being on the submissive side before but hey, things might change.

Comments and suggests would be great. Flames are also open but be nice, okay? ^_^;
