KH: Don't Follow Me
Randomness ~ Why is the new FF7 thing called Crisis Core? Because Squeenix needed to complete the set of initials! They already had AC, BC, and DC, which meant that CC was missing and *clearly* needed to be done. Yes. XDD
And for something slightly less random, here's Kingdom Hearts ficcage.
Title: Don't Follow Me
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Characters: Riku, Sora, Donald, Goofy
For: 30_friends
Theme: #14 ~ Fair Weather Friend, Rainy Day Friend
Rating: PG
Warning: Spoilers to Hollow Bastion
Notes: I've been toying with posting this fic or holding off until I write one that's very connected to it, but have decided to go ahead and post for now. I've got plans to do a variation from Sora's perspective at some point in the near future. Also, I'm more than a little worried about how Donald and Goofy came across - this was my first time writing them, so fear running high. XDDD
Don’t Follow Me
#14 ~ Fair Weather Friend, Rainy Day Friend
“You were just the delivery boy. Sorry, your part’s over now. Here, go play the hero with this.” Riku tossed the wooden sword at Sora, steeling his face. Cruel. He was cruel, and horrible, and Sora might never forgive him for it. He couldn’t watch as Sora crumpled to the ground beside the “weapon” they had used on the island. Riku turned away and started off. Now, with the Keyblade, he would have the power to save Kairi.
“Hey, wait up! Stop, stop!” The duck quacked at him. Riku stopped, but didn’t turn back. “Wait a second!”
“Don’t waste your breath, I’m not giving it back to him.” Riku tightened his grip on the Keyblade. Sora had never been strong enough even to beat him. He wouldn’t be able to take on the worst. Hell, Sora even still feared the darkness. Without the power of darkness, the Keyblade master would have almost no chance at victory. Sora would die if he gave him back the weapon. It wasn’t going to happen.
“Gawrsh, we weren’t gonna ask you to do that, or nothing,” the other thing said. Goofy, Riku had heard it called, even if he couldn’t identify what it was. “We were just hoping that maybe you’d be willing to let us come along with you.”
They couldn’t mean… Riku turned over his shoulder to look at the two creatures. Both watched him, one fierce and glaring, the other with a hand behind his head and an odd expression on his face.
“And Sora?” Riku asked. Leaving his best friend in the hands of these two yuppies wasn’t the greatest idea, but it beat the hell out of bringing him along or leaving him defenseless. The Heartless would still be after Sora, even without the Keyblade. A heart, particularly one as light as Sora’s, would be valuable to them. Sora had no weapon now, had no method of transportation if it weren’t for these two -
“The king said to follow the Keyblade,” the duck said, stomping the ground ineffectually with his webbed feet. “Not Sora, but the Keyblade. You’ve got the Keyblade now, which means we need to follow you. Right, Goofy?”
“Right,” Goofy said, softly. He bit his lower lip and glanced back towards where they had all left Sora. Riku decided in that instant that the duck could jump off the nearest cliff for all he cared, but Goofy just might be okay.
“See?” The duck was saying, wings crossed over his chest and foot still tapping the ground. “So we’re coming with ya, whether ya like it or not.”
Riku looked beyond them, over the rise to the area where he had left Sora - left him alone with that Beast-monster-thing, in fact. Sora… he might not have been strong enough for what Riku had to do, but Sora wasn’t weak, either. Sora would… he would have to… he’d survive, or Riku would kick his ass the next time they saw each other.
“Whatever,” Riku said, turning away from the creatures and heading once more towards his battle. “Just don’t get in my way.”
