-Chapter 08-
"So," Elizabeth asked Riku as he helped her tidy up the ship, "you
enjoying the life of a pirate."
"Indeed," Riku meant it, "this is the stuff they don't tell you
about in the adventure stories. The secret life of pirates. The life
that only we select few are fortunate to know."
"Nice way of putting it," Jack said from the door. "And while we're
on the topic of adventure stories, we've got a bit of that for you,
too. There's a big ship coming up on our aft side. And I get the
feeling they're not the friendly sort."
Riku and Elizabeth set their cleaning supplies down and joined Jack
and Will on deck.
Sure enough, a large ship was approaching. At its helm stood a man
who, except for the part in his hair, resembled Riku in almost every
way.
"Ah!" Jack relaxed. "It's just our friend's twin brother."
"I don't have a twin brother," Riku replied, staring at the man who
so closely resembled him. "I've never seen him before!"
"Riku!" the man called.
"Lucky guess?" Jack.inquired.
"Who are you?" Riku called back to the man.
"My name is Kadaj," the other answered. "I've been looking for you
ever since I felt you arrive in this world."
"Why?" Riku wanted to know. "Did Maleficent send you to kill me?"
"Who?" Kadaj wanted to know. "Riku, please, come. You can trust me.
Come!"
Riku looked into Kadaj's eyes. Eyes that were just like his in
every detail. Then, he turned to Jack. "I trust him," he said. "If
Sora comes..."
Jack nodded and watched as Riku boarded Kadaj's ship.
As the ship turned and left the Black Pearl, Kadaj turned and studied
Riku. All at once, he cried out in surprise. "You're pregnant?! But
how?!"
Riku told him.
"Your... heart?! But... that's not possible!"
"What are you talking about?" Riku blinked.
"Riku, don't you wonder why you and I look so much alike if we're not
related?"
"A bit," Riku admitted.
"We are related," Kadaj began. "When Sephiroth..."
"Oh no," Riku shook his head, "I am not Sephiroth's son!"
"Of course not," Kadaj replied. "But in a way, you're close. You see,
you have half of the heart that should have been Sephiroth's. I have
the other. A gift from the Planet to me, Sephiroth's Heartless, and
you, his Nobody."
"But, that can't be," Riku shook his head. "I remember..." but he
couldn't remember anything beyond a year before his first adventure
had begun. "I... no... I'm not a Nobody... I'm not!"
"I'm sorry," Kadaj told him, as he sat down next to him.
After a moment, Riku turned to his companion. "Does this mean I can't
love Sora anymore?"
