Riku vs Sora: Racing.

[keytolight-blog]

theedgesoflightanddarkness:

“Oh, are you now? You’re not gonna win this race, I’ll tell you that much! I may be behind you right now, but it’s not over until I win!” Riku was behind Sora it was true, but he was ready to catch up to him. Riku decided he would take his own little shortcut. He knew pretty much anyway you could get to the beach, so he ran in the direction of the shortcut.

“It was pretty clever of you to take that shortcut Sora, but guess what? I have my own little shortcut too, so I’ll see you at the finish line! Good luck trying to beat me!”

Man, Riku really hadn’t had this much fun in a long time. Being competitive with Sora is one of the things that made Sora and Riku best friends. Ever since they were just little kids, they always played racing games, and most of the time, Riku would win, so Riku could see why Sora was so determined to win this time. Riku wasn’t nearly out of breath yet, so he kept running as fast as he could towards the finish line.

"---What?"

Cheap shot! Riku only took that shortcut because Sora did first! If that didn't force him to run like his life depended on it, nothing would. Not even some Giant Heartless, that's how into this race he was. Riku won the last one! Sora had to redeem himself, here; and he was going to do so by any means.

So maybe they both took shortcuts, whatever, that just meant they were on equal ground now. But the truth of the matter is, Sora is smaller and therefore faster and therefore going to book it to the finish line before anymore cheap shots can be made from the both of them. Period!

The beach was slowly getting closer, each step forcing him to pant accordingly. He was saving his breath rather than brag at this point- it was the finish line that was his main focus right now and nothing would stop him from reaching it, first or second.

But preferably first.

".....!!!!"

And then the sand was a mere jump before him! The second he saw the beach begin and the forest end, the boy leaped into it, face first into the sand with his arms outstretched above him. He had literally thrown himself on to it, his body skidding a couple of feet down the beach as if he were a pebble on water.

He briefly lifted his face, spitting out the sand and catching his breath.

Did he win?

“What?”

 Roxas jerks towards his other, defensive.  Had he been talking out loud and attracted attention that he didn’t want?  Ugh, if this was another one of those people who gave a damn without him wanting them to he was going to drown himself or something.  Whatever he was thinking disappears when he realizes that it’s Sora.

“Oh,” His mouth in a quiet circle, Roxas shakes his head, “I’m…okay. I think. Thanks.”

Nope, Sora doesn't believe it! How could he, anyway? Did Roxas think he could hide something from his other half? But the brunette doesn't mention anything like that, he simply just takes a seat beside the blonde. A few silent moments pass, before his gaze goes from the sky back to his Nobody.

"Somehow, I don't think you're being completely honest, but.. even if you don't want to tell me, I'm going to keep you company okay?"

Because if Sora hated being alone, maybe Roxas did too.

[She was gone.

She was gone she was gone she was gone she was gone she was GONE.

Repitions of the same words flicker through his head.  Nothing else comes to mind when he’s reminded of her but the same words again and again and she’s gone.  she’s gone he can’t do anything to get her back and this pain in his heart, it won’t…stop?  His lips twitch a little, his hand rests patiently on his heart, clutching tightly, in pain. 

It would be selfish to want her back.  It would be selfish to ask her to stay, for her to…

Roxas shakes his head, and in a small voice…] “She’s gone.”

[Sora was out and about- having been under a friggin' trance for quite some time, he figured he might as well get outside and learn how nice it is to breathe fresh air again. 

But it was only then that he spotted his Nobody by himself, seemingly mumbling something to himself. He didn't really look all that great either- that pained expression of his. What did Sora miss...?]

"Hey, Roxas..?" [He approached him quietly, picking up the word 'gone' but nothing else.]

"Are you .. okay? You look like you just lost something."

[Someone, actually. Or No one, more like.]

Holo blinked, she had never really had ice cream before. “Wait, what’s ice cream, Sora?” she asked, as she glanced up to him, still a bit shaken up from the fall minutes before. 

“I don’t think we have that where I come from…”

"---What?"

"You've never had ice cream? You don't even know what it is!?" This was quite alarming. "Well, it's only the best treat in the world! We've got to get you some right now! Follow me!"

And he ran off to the nearest ice cream stand, expecting her to keep up with him.

[Roxas ponders on Sora’s words for a few short moments before nodding.  Sora was right, no point in not trying.]

Wait. I’m coming with you. There’s strength in numbers, right?

But wait, if we somehow end up in a new world, are..our friends coming with us too? Or will they be stuck here as well, Sora?

[Tilting his head to look behind him, he just barely smiled when he saw Roxas follow. Yes, there was strength in numbers, and with the two of them separate like this, they could probably accomplish so much. The question made Sora shake his head though, finding the idea ridiculous- even if it was possible.]

Are you kidding?

I'd never leave my friends behind!

[But once they reached the center of the trailers, the boy came to halt. A realization came to mind, and he had to say it first.]

But Roxas.. if we go back.. aren't we.. going to ...?

[Be one?]

[keytolight-blog]

To the Deserted City!

[keytolight-blog]

distantprincess:

[ Kairi was fine, and she hoped she continued to feel fine as Sora then pulled her along once again. Kairi had discovered that if your eyes are closed, even while walking, it can make the atmosphere less intense, and of course there’d be no way that Kairi would see any gouls or ghosts then, and so Kairi closed her eyes, she was alright with balance, and Sora was leading anyway.

It was silent for a few minutes, Kairi suspecting then that Sora must be scanning the surroundings. Really, Kairi should do the same, but instead her eyes remained shut, more tightly this time.

And she was almost calm, almost fine again, until Sora then gave a quick tug, making Kairi open her eyes instantly to find them both entering a small alley which was pitch black. ]

S-Sora…!!

[ And as he let go to feel up the walls, Kairi stood there squinting slightly, trying to make out anything within the darkness. But alas, no use, and so Kairi joined in following, both her hands then touching. ]

Wow.. I can’t see a thing!

[ And she wondered how the two were ever going to find a door— ]

Kairi then felt the texture upon her change to oak wood and she slowly came to a hault, standing with her hands outstretched onto what felt like a door. ]

Hey, I think I found something!

[ She felt quite pleased for once, and as she touched the door more, she tried to find the handle, when doing so, she opened the door very slowly. ]

..I don’t want to look first. You go!

[Once Sora let go of her hand, he immediately turned his neck around to make sure Kairi hadn't suddenly been in danger, especially when she stuttered his name. Blinking when she was fine and just a little startled, he sighed before smiling, giving her a nod that they were okay.]

[With that short, childish paranoia aside, he proceeded to let his gloved hands coat the walls, searching for some off-brick or door from a backway. The Keyblade Wielder was hopeful about choosing this particular path as opposed to the many other buildings he could have picked- this place was just more mysterious.]

--Huh? You found something?

[The boy eagerly went to Kairi's side, letting his hands trace over where hers had been. He watched as she opened the door slowly, and gave her yet another firm nod when she asked him to go first.]

No problem, I'll lead. Just.. stay close behind me. [It wasn't a question, the brunette was quite serious. Granted, he had no reason to believe there were Heartless or Nobodies around here, but then again, they showed up at anytime and anyplace- so why not be extra careful? To be perfectly honest, it was all because he wanted to give Kairi a positive outlook on adventure. If she got hurt, she'd never want to come back here.]

[Sora took some steps forward, his hands by his sides as he tried to have his eyes adjust to the even darker room. All he could make out were dark objects. Not helpful.]

Ow!

[Oh, they were tables. Many of them. He bumped into a chair, and casually pushed it back to where it belonged before brushing off where he thinks dust went on his shirt. It's not like he could see it anyway.]

[Squueeeeeak]

...

[Was that.. the floor? Well, the place was old; that was normal for wood to do! Come to think of it, this place was probably a restaurant with all these tables and chairs around, and therefore probably had a basement below them. But it wasn't like the floor was squeaking because it was going to break with the combined weight of the two of them and all this furniture, right?]

elusivegoldenchocobo:

Everyone told me you couldn’t leave this place, though.  Do you think keyhole sealing will really work, Sora? [Roxas frowned, a concerned look on his face.  He wasn’t doubting Sora or anything but…simply curious.  Maybe this world was different from every world that he and Sora had been to, that would explain why it was so hard to leave.]

…But if it had to be important… I’d think the centre of the trailers?

Everyone also said that all powers and weapons were taken away from us no matter what. [He retorts, before holding out his Keyblade in front of Roxas to make his point.] But what am I holding right now?

I'm not going to give up before I've even tried. Even if the chances are really small, we have nothing to lose anyway!

Maybe the Ringmaster messed up and is trying to restrain all our powers again- I don't know how much time we even have left!

You don't have to come if you don't want to, but I'm going. [And the rash hero would pretty much book it to where Roxas suggested without another second of hesitation.]

[Roxas is about to say something along the lines of “Thank you” but he soon realizes that it isn’t a good situation to say that.  Was that sarcasm?  At least Roxas didn’t embarass himself.]

Sealing this place?

[His keyblades appeared into his grasp again.  The concept of sealing things sounded vaguely familiar, but… he didn’t quite know what it meant.  It must have had something to do with their weapons, but other than that, Roxas was completely clueless.]

Yeah! We just need to find the Keyhole! [Every world he'd been too had one- this place had to have one too!] Then the Keyblade will respond to it, and all we do it point at it and then a path to a new world opens--!

If we can find the Keyhole and set up that connection we can all get out of here!

Think, think! Where would the Keyhole be in this place? It's generally... something important in the area, I think. 

Ahhh, but I have no idea where ...!

… I thought you were one of those shadow things. [points off to the distance with all of those weird beasts and shit.] Your hair looks like them, doesn’t it ? [he does get off, though.]

You didn’t notice?

[Still on the ground, he merely flipped over and stared.] Oh. Thanks. [Shadowy things and his hair had a resemblance? Go figure.]

I, um. [Nope, he didn't. This was awkward. Sora had a reputation of being slow, but this was ridiculous. Immediately he stood up, holding out his hand anxiously as his Kingdom Key was suddenly summoned right there before his eyes, as if nothing had ever changed. Although a sense of relief and excitement washed over him, a determined expression quickly replaced it.]

Roxas! Don't you know what this means?

If we have our Keyblades we can seal this place off for good! This is our chance!

Sorry. Thought you were someone else for a moment. 

[I’ll just poof these away then.]

Please don't tell me you thought I was Vanitas.

[It's pretty much the biggest insult in the world.]

Also, could you get off? I swear I'm not going to attack y--

[Keyblades!?!]

Hey! We have... our weapons-!?

[ I hope you like getting tackled. ]

[Sugar we're going down swinging--!!]

[Landing flat on his face, the brunette looked to the side and upward to see the cause of the tackle, his expression confused- if not a bit irritated.]

Roxas?

What's the big idea!?
