Riku sighed. The ton of Mickey's wasn't good. He really didn't want to sleep on it either... but he had to admit... he was tired from all the energy he had used on Malicifent.
That night, Sora was put into the royal guest room. The bed had so much cushion in it that Sora almost got lost in it... but at least he would have a good night sleep.
Goofy slept in his own bed, which was a place he was missed very much. As he snored, , he pushed the hat on his head back and forth.
Riku... could not sleep. He sat across Mickey in the library, leaning back in his chair. He had dark circles under his eyes but he wouldn't sleep until the King found a solution. He really wished Axel wasn't so stupid. In the Darkness... he could hear Malicifent trying to reason with him. She called Axel selfish... he agreed...
Looking across the table at Mickey, he sighed, the silver hair falling over his face.
"Mickey... is there anyway... I can split my soul and give half of it to Sora? Our destinies are linked anyway... is it possible?"

Sora was happily snuggled into the bed, unable to every remember finding a bed so wodnerful. But even so... in all this grandeur it still felt like something was missing. He'd dozed off once or twice, but he really could not sleep. He couldn;t get up either. He just laid there, listening to the sounds of the night as an ice chill washed over him, making him shiver.
Donald was also asleep, dreaming of happier times like proposing. But he knew he wouldn;t be able to until all was right with Sora again.
Mickey, who had been flipping around in one of his many books,, looked up shaprly and surprised. He looked at the teenager quite seriously. "I don;t know if that would be wise. it could kill you both Riku. A soul is much like the heart, it is not something easily tampered with."

Riku looked down and sighed. He shook his head, a stern look on his face. They're destinies were tied... no matter what happened, if something happened to Sora... something would happen to Riku... and Mickey. They were all tied together. He knew this was why Mickey was so concerned.
He looked up, his ocean eyes staring at the small mouse.
"Mickey... I love him.... I'd do anything to make sure he is safe...."
That took... a lot.

The little mouse king looked at him, but didn;t look at all surprised. Traveling with Riku, he had learned a lot about the young boy, his troubles and worries, his hopes and dreams, and even the things he never said, and never knew was happening himself.
The mouse smiled a bit, then nodded. "love is a powerful thing Riku..." he nodded again. "well... i must admit, if you are honestly willing to do this, this is the only way that Sora get better. Otherwise, we must bring Roxas back to him, which Sora will argue against."

He actually had the nerve to bring Roxas back... but, he couldn't do that too. He was sure that with his new feelings, he would never give it up to become Sora again.
Riku looked down again, staying silent for a long time. He closed his eyes and sighed though finally. "I'll do it...." He looked at the mouse. "I'm the Keyblader of Twilight. I can be manipulated for Darkness.... or Light."

Mickey looked at him, then nodded slowly. "Welp then, that;s what we are going to do then." He didn;t know what the reprecussions of such a move would ensue, for both Riku and Sora this was not a safe thing. Riku at the moment was balanced, bu splitting his soul in half could cause damage to his psyche, and for Sora, already unbalanced and being introduced to a new soul could either help or do more harm.

Riku sighed, sitting up and standing. "I'll go get him then..."
He left the library and headed downstairs. It was so peaceful here... and still didn't understand why everything was so big for such small characters.
He didn't really go straight to Sora's room. He just... wondered around. Would this be safe? He didn't want to hurt Sora more than he already was...
Eventually he made it to the guest room, which was huge and fancy too. Slowly he walked next to the bed and sat down. He sighed and looked at the boy who seemed to he half awake. He leaned over again, rubbing the brown hair. "Sora... get up... we have to go see Mickey..."

Mickey sighed, sitting down to wait. he had no idea if this was going to be a saf prochedure. In fact, if he really thought about it, it was quite mad.
But he had seen the way Sora's eyes had flashed when he had mentioned returning Roxas. The boy didn;t even have to say how against he was to it. He might have only truely known Sora for a short while, but once the boy got a notion into his ehad he didn;t let it go. Sometimes he worried, that Sora tried to ahrd to please everyone else but his self.
"mmm." Sora purred, nuzzling into Riku;s hands. his eyes werre lidded with exaustion and pain. "Ri..." he looked up at the silver-haired boy and started to giggle. The moonlight was streaming in, creating another halo in Riku's silver hair, and his eyes were brigther then he'd ever seen. He could almost imagine wings... "you look like an angel."

Riku blinked at the giddy kid. His eyes dimmed as he looked away. "D-don't say that Sora..." He was far from. He leaned down again and picked the boy up. "Come on..."
He walked out of the room and looked around the darkness of the castle. A sigh. God I hate you Axel...
He arrived at the library again, looking at the glow where the King was. Walking over, he put Sora on the floor and helped him stand.

Sora stood unseatdy, before putting a hand on Riku;s shoulder. He whispered. "I meant it." he looked away then towards the king, and smiled. "So um... Whats up?"
Mickey smiled a bit. Sora's manners still hadn;t changed. It was lucky for him neither Goofy nor Donald were around to repremend him. "Riku and I have discovered a way that might help you."
"Oh... what is that?" Sora asked, not bothering to hide that sdomething was wrong with him anynore. what was the point.
"Riku has offered to split his soul with you."
There was a long pause then, "What!" Sora's head whipped around. "Riku you can't!"

Riku shook his head and looked at Mickey as he told Sora what he would do.
Once he got the concerned face, he just smiled. "I can... and I will. You won't take that heart away from Roxas now... and you and I... I'm sure, will be together for a very long time. You've don't enough sacrifices Sora... let me do one to help you..."

"i... but..." Sora fought, still looking worried. Riku was... was going to risk that... for him? he breathed in hard, wrapping his arms around Riku with a strength he didn;t really possess anymore. "Riku..."
Mickey looked between them curious, and smiled a bit.

Riku blinked as he was hugged. It wasn't the usual tight hug of Sora's...not like before. That made him kind of sad all together. He wrapped his arms around the boy too and looked at Mickey, nodding softly.
He had to do this. He... he just had to...

Sora smiled faintly.
Mickey nodded as well, and then a keyblade appeared in his hand. but it wasn;t the normal gold and shining one he usually brandished. No this one was a blade of pure darkness, the keychain like that of a scythe.
The little mouse pointed the keyblade at the two boys, and then dark light spread from it and hit them both.
Sora flinched a little... but it didn;t hurt, it just felt... like it was invading him. it was making his whole body overcome with chill.
A symbol appeared under the two boys feet, a swirled heart with the jagged ends of the Nobody symbol. It glowed under the two boys, creating a wall around them.
Sora looked up at Riku, feeling a bit worried. somehow, instinctively, he knew there was a possibility this would be the last time either of them were seen alive. He... he had to say it... say it now. "Ri... Riku." Sora called. "I love you."
And then the beam hit Riku and tore out his soul.

Riku too had a bad feeling... but once he saw the keyblade he knew he was going to be in trouble. It was too late to do anything though. Sora NEEDED a soul.
The power of the symbol under them blasted the majick around them, making Riku's hair swirl around Sora as he held onto him tightly. Dark smoke started to swirl around Riku's feet, ready to pull him in if something horrible happened. The Darkness too wanted to take care of Riku's well being...
His ocean eyes looked down at Sora with a soft touch... but before he could reply... his soul was ripped out of him. His clothes started to change, a large, bright Heartless symbol appeared on the back of his clothes. His knees gave as he slowly fell down to them, his hands gripping Sora's shirt.
