Sora furrowed his brows at the response. That was Riku's kinder way of saying exactly what he had said earlier: they weren't good enough. The brunet opened his hand and flexed it without thought, the Keyblade appearing in his grasp. "Do I really look that weak to you? You think I've been stupid enough to let myself get out of shape? Not a chance, not when so many people depend on me for safety." Mainly, he was referring to Roxas and the girls, but even more than that, he was thinking of the people int he worlds he had previously met.
That was it for my idea. xD You can tie that in if you want, I just figured maybe since Roxas would be a bit darker and skeptical, since he...
"But you still think we'll hold you back," Sora stated, glaring at his friend in disbelief. He knew that Riku only spoke the truth these days--ever since their fights in the past, he had always been honest. Sometimes brutally honest, like he was now, but honest all the same. "You think we won't be able to carry our own weight."
Namine mentions something about how she could have somehow stopped Kairi from meeting him, and Roxas (being protective of Sora's feelings even...
Sora froze at the words, the harsher treatment being the last thing he expected. "W-what?" he stumbled, his fists coming undone. "Riku, that's ridiculous! Babysitting us is the last thing you'd have to worry about." Had Riku already forgotten who it was that had saved the Realm of Light? Or just how many battles he had fought in the past? He wasn't weak like Riku supposed he was, and it frustrated him that his friend looked down on him like that.
Alrighty. ;3 One of them is after the whole "Namine is sick" thing. A day or two of Namine being sick, and she insists Roxas sees Kairi, even if...
"And I'm telling you that's not going to happen," Sora insisted. "Stop being so prideful and accept our help already!!" he hollered, his voice showing frustration and anger. He really did think that Riku was being stubborn because he had been forced to have two more people go with him against his wishes, when he supposedly was strong enough on his own. Today was proof that Riku's way of thinking was flawed.
I had already sorta assumed that. xP That'll go in line for some ideas I have for Roxas and Namine as well.
Sora recovered quickly and turned around, following his friend at a quick pace. "Because we're coming with you, and we're going to defeat the Heartless before they can move onto new worlds," he called from behind, his voice showing his determination. He and Roxas weren't going to be left behind that easily. In fact, there was no chance they would be left behind.
Goody! I'd love some good news. ;3 Please share.
Sora couldn't help but snarl softly at Riku's accusations. "Shut up, Riku," he growled, tempted to punch the person who was being so brutal in this conversation. It wasn't fair to him or Roxas, and he was wondering why his friend was verbally attacking him. "It's not going to get to that point." The Earth would be safe, just as long as the Heartless out here were taken care of.
Sora clenched his right hand tighter, glaring at Riku. "That's why we're here," he stated. "To diminish the power and number of the Heartless before that happens. To get rid of the problem before it starts." That had been his line of logic, and he was sure that he was right about his theories of the Heartless' spread.
Sora nodded in agreement to Roxas' words. "You may be able to protect a few worlds just fine, Riku," he confessed, hoping the flattery would help his friend accept some help. "But can you handle all of them?" He didn't wait for an answer to the rhetorical question, the teen continuing without missing a beat. "As the danger in these worlds increase, so does the chance that the Heartless will spread to new worlds that they previously didn't have access to. We won't let that happen. I won't let it happen," he said, adding emphasis on himself. Maybe connecting with Riku personally instead of connecting himself to Roxas would help. He didn't know why, but his old friend seemed to have issues with his newer one.
No problem, I understand. =) See you later!
Thanks, just something I threw together this afternoon. =)
Sora clenched his hands into fists, his eyebrows furrowing as he glared up at Riku. "What's that supposed to mean?" he demanded, his tone of voice matching Riku's. He wasn't going to be pushed around, even if Riku was older and taller than he himself was.
You're creative...I'm sure you can come up with something. xP I gotta go now, bye!
"Maybe it was right at the time, but not now," Sora inserted, moving past Riku and stopping in front of him. He blocked the path and looked up at his taller friend, blue eyes staring down the ones of his friend. "There's a time for peace and a time for fighting. Right now, Roxas and I have a battle to fight. With you."

Maybe Riku could say something about Kairi, too. And get Sora ticked off. xP
