' I'm falling… deeper and deeper… into darkness `

Thought Riku when he felt himself falling. With narrowed eyes he stared into the darkness. There was absolutely nothing, nothing at all. Was he supposed to stay here forever? In this dark prison, falling forever? Right now it didn't bother him too much. He had lost his love Sora to that awful person, Odieyan.

He was gone forever…

Suddenly a screen appeared and he saw himself and Sora drawing on the walls of the secret cave. He smiled faintly and tried to reach out for it, he wanted to go back to that day.

But before he could touch it, it disappeared. He blinked a few times with his eyes and saw everywhere screens with him and Sora on it.

Those were the days full of laughter and happiness. He really missed those days…

When he looked to the right, he saw himself sitting on the Papao tree with Sora next to him. The two of them looked very young, and Riku guessed that they were nine or ten back then.

The light blue eyed boy was holding a Papao fruit and asked Sora if he knew anyone who he wanted to share the fruit with. The brown haired would only blush, but he would never tell whom.

Riku sighed happily and looked to the left, seeing another screen. Sora was lying in Riku's bed, crying and shivering. It was the day that Sora's parents went on a vacation, and the brown haired boy had to stay a couple of weeks at Riku's place. However, that night he had a terrible nightmare and when he woke up, he wanted his mother. But she wasn't there to comfort him, so Riku replaced his mother. The sea blue eyed boy would listen to Riku's sweet words, and fall into a deep slumber.

How old were they back there? Six? Seven? He wasn't too sure. The only thing he was sure of is that that was one of the greatest days in his life.

However, now he understood why he saw those memories. He was starting to forget them. Those little black creatures were busy eating all of the light in his heart. And to be honest; Sora was Riku's light.

' So… This is it then… I always thought I would die a more… Noble death. This is sad, really sad `

He smirked and sighed deeply. He was still falling; he hoped deeply that he would die before he would hit the ground. It would hurt his head a little if he suddenly smashed into the ground.


" I'm so sorry Sora " Whispered Riku softly. " I couldn't protect you… "


He was a weakling. He always thought that he was strong and that he could take care of everyone, but in the end he was a weakling. He let Odieyan steal Kairi's heart, and he let him kidnap Sora. The brown haired angel was going to suffer at the hands of the pointy eared youth. He didn't want that! He wanted to be with Sora!

Just after those thoughts he saw how a little light sphere flew out of his chest.

' What is going on? `

Thought Riku when he saw the little light sphere flying around his body. Was that thing good or evil?

Or was this his heart? If it was, he was kind of disappointed at himself. His heart - or light - looked pathetically small. The heartless were doing their job very good. It wouldn't take long until his whole heart would be devoured.

' I wish I could see them, at least then I could fight them fair `

The light sphere began to shine brightly, and the platinum haired youth felt his feet landing on the ground. He looked around and saw something lying on the ground, and it was not even a meter away from him. Slowly he walked to the object and picked it from the ground.

It was a giant key!

' Wait, isn't this a keyblade? The thing that Odieyan wanted so badly? `

And then there was light. Riku found himself standing on a huge platform that was made from stained glass. For a moment he was afraid, afraid it would break so that he would fall into nothingness.

But he wasn't alone. From out of nowhere appeared the heartless, and they were staring at the light blue eyed youth. They approached him slowly, and Riku did a few steps backwards. Was he supposed to fight them with this… keybladethingie?

He jumped forward and slashed three heartless into two. They gave a loud yell and vanished just as quickly as they came. Little green balls appeared on the place were Riku beat them, but he wasn't too sure if it was safe to pick those things up.

He touched it with high caution, and then they disappeared. When Riku looked up he saw that his little light sphere had grown a little. He now understood what he was supposed to do; he had to slaughter these creatures so that his heart could grow. And maybe he could see Sora again, if he could beat the darkness that is.

He tightened his grip on his keyblade and searched around for any small creatures.

It was hell…

thousands of heartless appeared out of the stained glass and stared dangerously into his direction. This was it, if he couldn't beat those creatures, then he wasn't worthy enough to save Sora.

Three heartless tried to jump onto him, but he slashed them away. They smashed against the heartless that stood behind them and all of them disappeared. Riku hurried to that spot and picked up the little green balls. The light sphere grew bigger again, and that made the platinum haired happy.

But when he saw the other creatures, he wondered how big his heart was supposed to grow.

Oh well, he just had to kill every one of them! See it as a test, if you can kill them all then you would pass.

He grinned evilly and ran to the heartless. He slashed, punched, and kicked them all away. He was blinded by happiness, and anger. But he needed to be careful, if he got too angry he would make Odieyan stronger.

~*~

After slashing that seemed like hours, he noticed that he had killed every single heartless. He picked the last green ball off the stained ground and looked up.

His heart was really big right now!

It flew down, and it stopped before Riku's face. The boy blinked a few times with his eyes, and then he saw how the heart returned into his chest.

The stained glass disappeared and Riku fell down once again. Oh great! Just what he needed! How far was he supposed to fall?!?

But he didn't get the chance to think any longer. He smashed into the ground and lost conscious…
