Aqua eyes opened as the silverette shivered slightly.  After everything this boy was putting him through, he couldn't just leave him alone.  no.  He had to drop into the underworld and try to play hero.  Didn't he read the stories?  No one ever prevailed in those tasks.

Riku scoffed silently to himself, looking around his dark prison.  The damp air made him shiver again in his thin clothes, as the musty smell seeped into his lungs.  He took a deep breath before sighing heavily.  "Damn it."  He murmured, angrily bringing up his hand, having no idea why tears were falling.  It wasn't like he was getting tortured at this point or anything.

For some reason Vexen always got a sick pleasure out of that.  Of course, Vexen was his real name, but for some reason the mortals always called him Lucifer.  A name he severely enjoyed.  He thought it ironic, that the mortals could take a name, meaning something as good as bright light and twist it into something horrible such as to do with the 'purest evil'.

Riku, of course, saw nothing funny about it.  But he had such reasons.  That very being had been plaguing him for almost 15 years.  He couldn't count the times that monster had defiled him in that time.  Besides, even if Sora did save him from this horrible fate, there was no way he'd be allowed back in heaven anyways.  He was dirty...

The angel jumped as his prison door slammed open again.  Vexen stood, grinning at him.  But there was something wrong...No torture weapon.  As that dawned on him, Riku quickly realized what was happening next.   His eyes widened as he was yanked roughly upward, his lips being crushed in a harsh bruising kiss.  

Riku's eyes closed, not from enjoyment, but he learned that he could block out what was happening to him.  Too bad his holy 'magic' didn't work down here.  But yet, something managed to get him back from his trance with a snap.  He jumped, letting out a scream that would have shaken heaven.

And at that point in time, our hero was currently descending the wrought iron spiral staircase.  The metal was warm beneath his feet, though not quite burning.    Sora took a breath, mentally preparing himself for whatever was coming next.

Finally though, he reached the bottom of the stairs...but there was something strange.  It looked like he walked into the downtown part of his hometown.  Sora gave a strange look, glancing to the left and right of him, expecting an attack at any second.

But it never came.  He walked cautiously through the city streets, before looking over at a sudden noise in the quiet town.  It was a group of girls, giggling as they walked.  Sora laughed quietly, almost ashamed of his little freak out.  It wasn't like high school girls were going to do that much to him.  Until he saw a flicker of a glare from one to another.

Her eyes narrowed, watching him before turning her attention back to the girl with a loud false laugh.  But it seemed her friend's couldn't tell the difference.  It was dark, and it seemed to be after about nine.  The girl turned with a smirk, sliding something out of her uniform, and within a split second, the girls around her were on the ground, bleeding from thin slits in their throats, a low gurgling sliding out as they choked on their blood.

Sora's eyes widened as the girl smirked, turning on her heel and beginning to walk away.  And as he began to follow her, his attention was turned again to a group of kids, older than himself, beating up an old man for who knows what.  He looked as they left, laughing and going in the same direction as the girl.  Sora turned his head to look, his blue eyes widening as he saw that the old man, who had been wheezing only moments before, had stopped.

In fact he had stopped all movements all together.  Sora bit his bottom lip, walking down farther to the darkness, seeing a group of them, including the five people he had seen earlier, and the girl.  They were discussing what they had done to the others, laughing and sipping something that looked suspiciously like alcohol.

Finally though, their attention turned to him, they're eyes narrowing and all jumping to him at once.  With a low curse, Sora once again engaged the keyblade, dodging here and parrying there.  Finally though he stood in the midst of dead bodies and blood, staring around, covered in it as well.  He took a breath, walking out to the light part of the city again.

"Namine" He said quietly, walking over to a fountain and washing himself off and wringing out his shirt and looking at her when she appeared up at him.  "What the hell was that?"

"The darkness in the heart of children..."  She said quietly shaking her head.  "I warn you now, little hero.  It gets worse from here on out."   He looked up at her, nodding softly.  "I know.."  he said quietly, looking up and seeing another gate revealed to him.

"What's this...more puzzles?"  He asked with a soft laugh, walking over and reading the inscription.

The one who makes it, sells it. The one who buys it, never uses it. The one that uses it never knows that he's using it. What is it?

Sora took a breath, blinking before thinking a minute. "A....coffin..?"  He asked, and grinned as the gate swung open.  "One moment little one."  Namine said, sitting on his shoulder.  "Take rest my hero, and think about what lies beyond..."  Sora sat, taking a breath and a drink of water. "Well it's...darkness...but what needs a coffin..?"

He paused for a moment, before tilting his head.  "Darkness in the adult heart?"  He asked, jumping when she disappeared into his necklace.  And that was it...it was time for the next level.
Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign
Instead there is only silence,
Can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping,
Need to know where you are
But one thing's for sure,
You're always in my heart

I'll find you somewhere....
