Riku: I hate you
Me: See?
A wind kicked up, making the grass bend in an almost wave-like motion, light refracting off the tall grass stalks. The blonde man, Demyx as he called himself, rolled over, accidentally knocking the pole over. The clatter of the pole hitting the ground made enough noise to startle him into wakefulness.
Blinking, Demyx sat up and yawned, then turned to grab his pole and set it up again. He froze when he saw a flash of silver on the far bank. There was a dirty lump tangled in a few of the river-reeds that lined the bank. It looked like a person.
Curious, Demyx sat up and waded into the water. The river wasn’t that wide at this point, and wasn’t very deep either, he had no trouble making his way across to the dirty lump tangled in the reeds.
When he got there, he let out a low whistle from between his teeth. The lump was a boy, in his teens, naked and bloody. Demyx wasn’t even sure if he was alive. “Hey…” he said, poking the boy gently in the ribs. “You alive?”
Riku groaned and tried to move away. He wasn’t conscious; he was simply reacting to being touched. His body jerked involuntarily and rolled over, exposing the left side of his body.
Demyx whistled again. The whole left side of the teen was covered in cuts and bruises. His chest was all scratched up, as if someone had run a knife over it, and there was a large gash in his side that was already setting in with infection. Part of his ear was missing, and there was a large bruise that ran from the side of his head all the way down his neck to his shoulder. Handprints were evident in his neck where someone had tried to strangle him.
“What happened to you?” Demyx whispered quietly, running a hand down the battered body gently. There was no way to tell if he had internal bleeding or not. Slowly his eyes traveled lower and winced when he saw the bruises around the boy’s lower half. It was obvious he had been raped.
Carefully, so as not to hurt the teen anymore than he had to, Demyx lifted him from the tangle of reeds and waded back to shore, where he set him down in the grass to get a better look. Further examination showed that the boy had to have been near death, and the only thing that probably saved him was the cold water he’d been floating in.
Frowning a moment, Demyx grabbed his pack and shuffled through it until he found what he was looking for, some antibiotic cream and a cloth. Careful not to move the teen too much, he began applying the cream to his wounds.
Riku’s eyes opened briefly when the cream was rubbed into the gash in his side. He let out a long, low groan and tried to roll over, away from the pain. Demyx held him down firmly.
“Hey, come on…don’t make this harder than it has to be.”
Riku blinked and stared up at the man who was helping him. He didn’t know who this person was, or where he was, but something told him the man was only trying to help. Taking a deep breath, Riku closed his eyes, and fell back into unconsciousness.
------oOo---O---oOo------
Cloud sank to his knees, tears suddenly appearing at the edge of his eyes, threatening to spill over if he wasn’t careful. Squall stood a few feet away, indifference plainly written on his face. Sora and Roxas backed away appalled by the package that Seifer, Tidus’s crony had left.
In a small box at Cloud’s feet was half of Riku’s ear, complete with earring. Next to it was a card that read, “Don’t mess with me.”
Cloud took in a shuddery breath and looked up at Sora and Roxas, who by now were looking away. “What…what happened?”
Sora looked at the ground, unable to look Cloud in the eyes. “I…I don’t know, it just did.”
“He said he’d fight Tidus...that he’d be fine.” Roxas started. “He…he was supposed to be ok.”
Cloud looked back down at the ear, then picked up the box and threw it, wincing as the metal earring bounced off the wall and landed with a clank on a metal plate on the floor. “He’s dead! Dammit! He just turned 17 and he died!”
Squall sighed and pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on. “Yeah, so what? He’s dead, get used to it.” He started to walk away, but was stopped when Cloud’s hand reached out and grabbed his pant leg.
“So what? Do you not even care that he’s dead?”
Squall shrugged and pulled his leg away from Cloud. “People die, it happens. Get over it. If you want to do something about it, go kill Tidus, but leave me out of this.”
Cloud stared at the floor. He was totally distraught. He didn’t know what to do. He’d told Riku this would happen, he’d known it would. He just…he didn’t think it would happen so quickly. Angrily he clenched his fist until he felt his nails draw blood. This was it, Tidus had crossed the line, and Cloud wouldn’t stand for it any longer. Tidus was going to pay, and he was going to pay with his life.
------oOo---O---oOo------
Demyx deposited Riku’s body onto a pile of blankets once he had come back to the small nomad tribe he lived with. A couple children came in, the girls giggling at Riku’s nakedness, but Demyx shooed them away and left to go find the healer,
He came back a few moments later with a boy in his late teens in tow. Wakka, the healer, frowned when he saw the condition Riku was in. “You just left him like this?”
“Hey come on, what was I supposed to do?” Demyx asked, sighing. “I found him in the river for gods’ sakes. Should I have just left him there?”
Wakka frowned again and leaned over Riku’s still form, laying his head on his chest to listen to the heartbeat. “He’s still breathin…that much is good at least ya?” Wakka glanced around a moment before reaching up and feeling the place where Riku’s ear had been cut. “He’s lucky here, if the cut’d been closer, he’d been paralyzed from the waist down.”
“Will he be ok?”
“…With some rest…eh, maybe.” Wakka replied. “He needs stitches on the cut though” He pointed to the large, semi-infected cut along Riku’s side. “And his ass is gonna hurt big time for several weeks with a bruise like that.”
Riku groaned and rolled over, half-coming into consciousness. “Where…where am I?”
“You’re in good hands ya?” Wakka smiled, patting Riku on his non-bruised shoulder. Riku immediately winced and pulled away from the touch, making Wakka frown. “Well, you just rest here a while ya? We’ll fix you up in no time.”
Riku nodded tiredly and forced himself to relax. He half-closed his eyes when he heard the blonde man from earlier address the strange red-haired person with a funny accent. “It looks like he’s been raped…”
“He’s jumpy, that’s for sure. You take care of him ya? I gotta go get some stuff.”
Riku sighed and buried his face into the blanket he was sleeping on. He had no idea where he was, who these people were, or how he got there. All he knew was that he hurt, and that he wanted Cloud. Memories flashed through his mind about what Tidus and his gang had done, making revulsion and pain suddenly shoot up through his whole body. Without really thinking about it, he rolled to the side and puked as far from the blankets as he could.
“Hey!” Demyx yelped, running back into the tent. “Whoa, come on….now I’ve gotta clean that up...!”
“S-sorry…” Riku replied shakily, wiping his mouth with his hand. He started to move back into the blankets when he felt another wave of nausea hit him.
Demyx panicked and came over, grabbing Riku’s hair and holding it back for him while the younger boy puked his guts out. “Hey man…you going to be ok?”
Riku closed his eyes, letting the tears fall again. “I don’t know,” he replied. “I…I don’t know.”
oO-------------------------------------OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO oOoOoOo-------------------------------------Oo
T-T I feel bad for Riku. I really do, and for Cloud, who now has snapped because his new lover is supposedly dead…Not my fault…it’s my brain’s fault, I swear.
ANYWAYS…
Hope you like the angst, please leave a Review!

Dirge: Chapter 22
Outside the Outside
A blonde man in his late twenties was sitting along the bank of the river, miles from both the Inside and Out. He carried with him only a pack, a knife, a fishing rod, and the clothes on his back. Currently he was asleep, laying back in the tall grass of the plains with his fishing rod stuck in the ground between his feet.Outside the Outside
A wind kicked up, making the grass bend in an almost wave-like motion, light refracting off the tall grass stalks.
