[This Riku here has seen better days. The room he was slumped against the wall of was in shambles - it looked like there had been a fight there. For once, he actually hadn't started the fight. He'd simply gone to find Roxas and see if he would be willing to help return the last few of Sora's memories. Riku hadn't meant merging the two of them - but Roxas had taken it that way. And attacked.

Riku was slumped against the wall in a pool of blood. It was clear why too. There was kind of two keyblades stabbed into his shoulders. He had a few other cuts, but none of them were nearly as bad. He couldn't even lift his arms to yank the blades out - he was just going to bleed to death against that wall if no one stumbled upon him to help.

There was another, smaller trail of blood, just a few drops here and there, leading away from Riku. It looked like Roxas hadn't gotten away totally unscratched.]

[Blood always got Sora's attention. He couldn't help it, concern was hardwired into his brain. Plus, he was worried. Riku had gone off to find Roxas a while ago and hadn't come back yet...

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what had gone on in here.]

Riku! [He recognizes those keyblades. Sora's tripping over himself to get to the silver-haired male's side.]

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

[Riku knows that voice. He glances up at Sora, eyes looking at little unfocused.]

S-Sora... hey. [He also wasn't exactly thinking too clearly.]

[memoryfragment.livejournal.com]

Riku... [Sora bites his lip, tentatively grabbing at Oblivion's handle to pull it free, tossing it aside.] What happened? [Oathkeeper is next, Sora's really trying to be careful not to hurt him further.]

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

[He manages to bite back a groan when Sora pulls the Oblivion free, wincing.] Roxas... he took me asking him for help with your memories the wrong way.... [Riku can't stifle the groan at Oathkeeper being pulled out of his shoulder. It hurt a lot, but at least he managed to keep from shouting.]

[memoryfragment.livejournal.com]

Sorry! [Sora set Oathkeeper aside and knelt in front of Riku, looking over his wounds.]

Roxas... [Sora muttered the name. How could Roxas do this? Freaking jerk! He was gonna pay for this...]

What should I do? You're hurt pretty bad...

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

I-it's fine. Not your fault. [Those wounds are bleeding more now, since they aren't stopped by the blades.]

Can you find a potion or something?

[memoryfragment.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah... Be right back! Don't die! [Detirmined face, Sora gets up and runs off.]

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I'll try. [Riku watches Sora run off, cringing. Damn... he really hadn't expected Roxas to be that strong.]

1/2

[Riku, you are screwed, and not in the way you'd prefer.

Axel had been following a blood trail, call it morbid curiosity. He was actually wondering if it was Saix still stumbling around half-dead but surprise, surprise. It must be Axel's birthday.]

... Riku? [Oblivion and Oathkeeper on the floor... Most definitely not a good sign. And since the battle obviously took place here, that blood trail must have been leading away. Riku was the only one still there, so...]

2/2

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

What did you do to Roxas?

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

[That was not a voice Riku wanted to hear. He half looked up at Axel, giving him the best annoyed look he could manage considering that he was slowly dying from blood loss.]

You should be asking what the bastard did to me.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

I doubt he attacked you unprovoked.

... Geez, you look like Hell. [Note to self: Roxas needs a reward for that.]

Answer me. [Axel walks over and picks up Oathkeeper, holding it to Riku's throat.] What did you do?

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

Might as well have...

Thanks, I hadn't noticed. [rolls his eyes]

Please, you can't use a keyblade. [Riku swats it away from his neck - but regrets moving his arm pretty quickly. He cringes, knees moving up to his chest.] Ugh... the rest of Sora's memories are still in Roxas.... I asked him for help - I just wanted him to come with me to find Namine - and he took it the wrong way and attacked me.....

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[True. Axel tosses the keyblade aside, and both of them disappear shortly afterwards, but he takes no notice, instead summoning one of his chakrams.]

Roxas doesn't even have most of his own memories, it doesn't surprise me he lashed out. We haven't exactly been able to trust you. Ever.

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

I haven't once touched the kid. Sora didn't want him to die - I'd never touch the little shit unless Sora said he was okay with it.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

And yet he found you enough of a threat to beat you nearly to death. Hm.

[memoryfragment.livejournal.com]

[Axel should be watching his back, because there's a Sora behind him with a keyblade.

Axel probably won't appreciate that he's being struck in the back of the head with it.]

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

Because he's... freak nuts. [his legs are sinking back to the floor]

Ugh... about time Sora...

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[With a yelp and then a groan of pain, Axel's stumbling off to one side, free hand clutching at his head.]

Fuck. That hurt... [He turns on Sora, chakram ready, but stops himself... And dismisses the weapon. He's got a Roxas to find.]

If I catch you even near him again, Riku, so help me... [Leaving now.]

[memoryfragment.livejournal.com]

Get out! [Sora makes sure Axel is actually leaving before he returns to Riku. It had not been a good feeling, coming back to find Axel looming over the other male, weapon in hand.]

Are you okay? Did he hurt you? I brought some potions... [Sora dismisses his keyblade and gathers up the potions he'd left by the door, bringing them over to Riku and holding one out to him. He's also found some cloth, to help clean up the blood.]

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

Screw you Axel...

I'm fine, he didn't do anything. [Riku goes to take one of the potions offered to him, but he just winces and-] Sh-shit. [His arm drops back to his side.]

Can't lift my arms... sorry.

[memoryfragment.livejournal.com]

I-it's okay! [Sora says hurriedly, he doesn't want Riku to strain himself. He's lost a lot of blood.]

Here... [He lifts the bottle to Riku's lips and tips it slowly.]

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

[Riku drinks the potion as Sora tips the liquid into his mouth.] Thanks, Sora...

[He groans a bit as the wounds start to heal. Even if those holes in his shoulders are healed, he still feel like crap from blood loss.]

[memoryfragment.livejournal.com]

You're w-welcome... Do you need another one? [He's offering it anyway. It'll help.]

[shroudingdark.livejournal.com]

Can't hurt... [He manages to lift his hand this time, taking the potion a little shakily and drinking it.]
