Sora took a few more steps forward, his grip on the Keyblade extremely tight. "Hmph. Then you've been a hypocrite, Riku," Sora started, eyebrows furrowed. "Staying in a place you hate with a passion to help out somebody you don't care about. Hypocrisy at it's finest." Riku made it sound like they had no friendship left, and yet he stayed in Castle Oblivion. He was sending mixed signals, and it annoyed Sora to no end.
Yuppers. 8D
"You're not acting like my friend anymore," Sora continued, frowning deeply at Riku's head motion. "So I'm not going to treat you like one anymore." He took a few more steps forward, Keyblade tightly in his grasp.
We are so awesome. xD
"I do know the truth," Sora countered, his voice sounding like a hiss. "And the truth is, you're just a complete jerk." Fighting him in this castle, both in the past and the present, proved that. Sora desperately needed Riku as a friend during both times, and both times, he was the opposite. He was being an enemy now, and Sora's enemies always ended up at the tip of his blade.
Seriously. I love it. xD
Sora took a moment to recover from that harsh comment. In truth, he felt as if he knew nothing. His confusion was overwhelming, and confusion, along with being provoked as he was now, made him very angry. "Stop playing games, Riku," he said in a low tone of voice. "Obviously I don't know everything. That's why we're here, remember?"
This is true. =D
Sora took in Riku's angry smirk and his words, making his anger boil. Riku really did know how to tick him off, and he was utilizing that talent now. "Spit it out, Riku," he said, taking a few steps past Roxas to be closer to the silver-haired teen. "Tell us how you're really feeling." Often Riku was the apathetic one, keeping things inside. That had changed in this castle, though, which was slightly surprising. Sora thought Riku was above the influence of some things, but apparently this could bring him down.
Haha, don't worry, this'll be fun to improv. ;D
"Of course I do," Sora spat. It was obvious he did, and Riku's comment was just plain stupid. "But not like this. I've had it, Riku. I'm so sick of your attitude!" And if you keep acting like a jerk, then I'll have to knock some sense into your head, he added mentally, tightening his grip on the Keyblade.
I really didn't have anything specific in mind.
Sora shook his head, staring at Riku. "No," he said simply. He had something he had to say. He had been putting up with Riku's bad attitude for long enough. And now he was about to snap due to his "best friend's" rudeness.
We can do that. ;D It would be fun.
Sora glared after Riku, eyebrows furrowed. Yes, he was determined to get through this, even if it did hurt. But a little bit of support from his best friend would be helpful. Riku was being completely unreasonable; he needed the help of his friends to get through this. Roxas was trying, but Riku was countering it, dragging him down. Was he doing it just to stand against Roxas, someone he didn't get along with, or was it because he and Sora really weren't friends?
Hmm...It really doesn't matter to me. xD You pick.
Sora lifted his head and opened his eyes, meeting Roxas's gaze. "Yeah," he said, nodding faintly. He slowly lowered his left hand back down to his side, looking past Roxas and Riku to the next set of stairs. "Let's keep going," he said. He wouldn't let this memory slow him down, or the questions he had. He was wondering when the answers to these questions would come, and the tension was getting to him.
Okie dokie. =)
Just like the previous fights, Sora saw Riku running off again. Then as Sora headed forward, Donald and Goofy called out to him. They wanted to discuss what was going on, since something was fishy. Sora agreed with them now; they should have discussed this. But his younger self insisted they get a move on and save Namine, and after some harsh words on his part, he ran off without them. That was the last of the memories he regained on this floor. He shook his head faintly, his senses returning to him after a few seconds. Something was definitely wrong here...Why was he such a jerk over Namine? He didn't love her, not like that.
Good question. xD We'll improv and find out.
