Beyond the Light

I was sad about the death of the Organization members... They just wanted some love!!!
Anyway... Here we go :) This story is partly dedicated to the dead characters in Chain of Memories (Mostly Zexion now)


Chap.2

Riku could hear birds singing outside and a gentle wind blow in and caress his face. Wait…Didn’t he jump into some strange light with Sora? Riku sprang to life and searched around desperately for his friend but the bedroom he was in was empty.

“Riku, come downstairs you’ll be late for school!” The voice knew his name, freaky. Riku guessed he’d better play along just until he could find out where he was.
Riku’s “mom” dropped him off at some sort of academy-looking place. A bunch of kids were milling around so Riku decided to find out where he was.

“Hey, you! Excuse me…” Riku saw his addressee turn around, “Larxene!”
What was the Organization doing here?? Maybe this was to confuse him while they kidnapped Sora.

The blonde haired girl stared at Riku in disbelief, “How do you know my name?”

“Cut the act! What did you do with Sora?!” Riku was worried about how the blonde acted.

“Sora? You know him? He’s in the library I think,” she looked genuinely puzzled why Riku was screaming at her.

“Uh, thanks,” Riku sprinted in the direction she pointed.

+++++++++++++

Riku could see a ray of light cascading through a window onto his cinnamon-haired angel. At least Sora was there, now they could go home and finally Riku could screw him like crazy. Riku bolted across the room until he saw something terrifying. Sora was sitting on a reading table swinging his legs back and forth; however, he wasn’t alone. There was a guy with spiky red hair who had a hand rested on Sora’s thigh and was leaning forward for a kiss.

“Axel…” Riku felt something boil up inside of him as he watched Axel making out with his Sora. What kind of screwed-up world was this?

“Sora!” Riku pulled Sora harshly by his arm effectively breaking-up the two. “What are you doing?!”

“I’m kissing my boyfriend, what concern is it to you?” Sora yanked his hand away from Riku and ran into Axel’s arms. Axel stared at Riku like an animal who was protecting its territory.

“What was that about? You mind telling me who you are?” Axel narrowed his eyes at Riku. Riku just stood there staring angrily. Was there some kind of force out there that was so opposed to letting Riku just have Sora?

“How do you know Sora?” said Axel suspiciously, “I don’t remember seeing you around before…”

“I’m a childhood friend, I just moved here. I’m sorry I was just surprised,” Riku’s mind raced. How was he going to escape this world? Maybe he just needed to make Sora remember him…

“You are? Funny, I don’t remember you…” was trying to concentrate, but Sora’s powers of concentration were a bit lacking so he shrugged his shoulders and accepted what Riku said. “What’s your name, I don’t really remember, sorry”

“It’s Riku” with that Axel hooked his arm around Sora’s waist and pulled him out of sight.

“Dammit, what is this place? Have I landed in some kind of parallel universe?” Riku really didn’t know why he was speaking aloud.

“Who in the world are you talking to, and what makes you think anyone cares?” the bored reply came from a boy with silver bangs covering his eyes.

“Zexion? Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised it seems Nobodies exist all over.”

“You’re not just a new student are you? You seem to know everyone’s name and yet I’ve never met you before..”

“What?! You pretended to be Sora to trick me! Oh wait…” Riku was confusedly trying to figure out the conundrum of the non-Organization Organization members.

“Hmmm. It seems you must be from some parallel reality. I don’t appreciate you calling me nobody, though…” Zexion smiled, “This could be interesting…”

+++++++++++++++++++++

“So wait…You believe that this Sora is not my Sora?” Larxene was getting mad. For some reason she got dragged into this stupid drama of the new student.

“Why don’t you just go to Naminé? She’s a paranormal dork,” suggested Larxene. The only reason why she was there was because Axel was acting like an idiot over Sora and it drove her nuts.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea. I see her in the South Tower often,” Zexion started to lead Riku until he caught a view of Sora’s hands clinging to the fabric of Axel’s back as Axel assaulted Sora’s mouth with his tongue. Zexion just started laughing.

“You look like you’re about to kill a certain someone; I won’t tell if you do. But we should hurry to Naminé and find your little boy toy.”

Zexion could be really annoying, thought Riku. The guy was so prissy and Riku really had to wonder what his hidden motivation was…

++++++++++++++++++++

“Wow! You’re from another universe? And I was in that alternate universe?” Naminé was practically hopping up and down from the excitement.

“Yeah, Um…Could you just tell me where my Sora is and where to find him?” Riku was just tired of all this. Wasn’t it enough he’d spent the last who-knows-how many months trying to get back Sora to normal?

“Hmmm…Well there’s no knowing where Sora could have ended up. Portals can be surprisingly fickle,” Naminé started to leaf through some books, “ this world’s Sora must have some connection to yours…Maybe some kind of key.”

A key? Not again…

“Wait. Sora always wears some unattractive necklace Axel gave him. It’s a key,” Zexion was leaning against the wall and had almost melted into the scenery until he spoke up.

“Axel did? I guess that’s the best lead we have. Riku, you need to get that necklace and bring it to me,” Naminé open one of her books, “I can create a portal based off it and it theoretically lead you to Sora.”

“I have to steal Sora’s necklace? How can I get that close to him without either Sora or Axel noticing?” Riku had a feeling Naminé was going to tell me it wasn’t her problem. Instead Zexion spoke:

“It’s your problem, lover-boy,” Zexion turned around and headed down the tower.
