around the B E N D [Riku]

You could spill a thousand words and none would mean a thing...

Muscular figure moved with ease across the turf. His long, slender pillars moved at a fast, three beat pace. Once he neared the center, he slowed, to a bouncy trot, then to a walk, nostrils flared wide, harks pinned back, eyes alert. He snorted, loudly. And dipped his dished dial low into the grass. The day was warm, causing a light sweat to form on his chest and belly. Blasted sun, he cursed. He as one for the night, and the night only...none of this chasing butterflies in the summer type of thing. He raised his head, and looked around him, there was no one
around. Snorting again, he walked on to a bunch of nearby trees. They were clustered together tightly, making it difficult to enter, however, he managed it. And there he stood, pateintly waiting for some sort of company.

... Omoidase ba haruka haruka.

Leave me be Xehanort. "But Riku, I can't. When you and Mickey were seperated, I found you. I took care of you, you need to thank me." Shut up, you didn't do anything but cause trouble in my life. "You see, if you just gave your heart to me, we-" Not we! You aren't a part of my life, so stay quiet! It was my personal battle, not Xehanort's. I was here, he wasn't, so I was in charge now. That's why I was here in Zukura Brooks, right? Frankly, I'm not sure. I just wandered around aimlessly, and now I was here, surrounded by pleading stallions, looking for homes. I should be doing that too, but I could make it on my own- Wait, I was with them, I wasn't alone. I needed to remember that, and if I did, I'd really be okay, I just knew it.

So I was in fact walking around Zukura Brooks, just quiet and unconcerned. Surprising really, because just days ago, I was screaming, crying, and killing myself, from the inside out. Now, I was so quiet, it scared me. I walked carefully, as if I was spying, but I wasn't. My blue-green tinted eyes remained on the ground. The eyes couldn't lie. What could they lie about? I didn't know, but Mickey certainly did. He told me that before I left him, and I wanted to know. Maybe it was that I couldn't lie about the light. Who knew... Still, I carefully sidled around the land, up until I saw a crowded area of trees. To escape the heat, which I really didn't mind too much, I jus despised the spring chirping of birds, and horses out playing. I wish I could play with them, but- Riku! Leave it be! Oh, yes, I need to forget about it. Not really forget, but just forgive myself.

Once under the trees, I realized that I had the same mindset of another horse. He strangely resembled Sora, but Sora was darker, like a bay, and Kairi was also a bayish tint. Still, I wasn't going to run up to him, and ask if he was Sora. He wasn't. I had that odd feeling that he wasn't Sora. Oh well, I could just mingle, but what words escaped from my mouth contrasted what I was thinking.

"Sorry."

It was nothing more than a mumbled word, but I was kicking myself for it. Why was I so quiet? This wasn't Riku, but yet, it also wasn't Xehanort, so that was good. Oh well, let's just look at the chestnut stallion, eh? I stood the same height as him, my thin frame moving closer in a curious manner. Still, my blue-green eyes were what caught the attention. Would it work?

His eyes were half closed, he was unaware of the other outside of his little den. Although he was a true dark, the warm sun, the chirping of some birds, and the light breeze was slowly sending him off into his own world, like many other times before, his life before Midinght Acres...
He heard a faint rustle, eyes snapped open, harks snapped back and a flash of gritted teeth was emitted to the other, a stallion, envading his privacy...however, at least he had manners.
A low grumble came from his stomach, his eyes were narrowed, and harks still plastered back to his skull, however, his tone was not too evil hmm...It's good to see you have some manners boy. he mumbled harshly. Stomping a right forehoove deep into the pines underfoot. State your name. he added, this time, lowering his tone to a slightly evil one.

... Mirai wa, doko made mo, kagayaiteta.

Did I just have bad luck with these Heartless? First the look-a-like, now this one. They both had matching personalities. Both made that Xehanort side show. The only thing from making me keep my words inside me was Sora and Kairi. "Riku, man, don't do it. He doesn't even know who you are. He doesn't know how good you are." Thanks Sora. My eyes raised to stare at the male, level headed. I still couldn't help but to add an occasional Riku moment comment. So I did. My voice wasn't kind, wasn't mean, just in the middle.

"Boy? Please, I might be older than you."

It was true. I could be older than him. Oh well, if I wasn't, it was a clear sign that I wasn't going to be pushed around today. State your name. Hmm, why should I? If the kind nature wouldn't be given, it wouldn't be returned. Then again, my good side was just saying "Come on, be kind, it won't be returned, but still..." I despised that good side sometimes, but it would overall be the best option for me. My breath escaped me calmly, but my eyes narrowed, and I stepped closer to the chestnut male.

"Riku."

My voice stretched out in a slow tune, and I stared at the male. I left that note as in a "and you are?" gesture, but if he didn't realize what I was asking, I needed to get out now. I didn't need to get in another fight with two horses. I was already fighting one within myself, and another wouldn't do me any good to get hurt some more.

Choas's eyes narrowed at this other, a low grumble escaped his kissers. You may be older than me, but certainly not more mature. his lyrics were stern, yet they had a soft tone, why? because Chaos, certainly a dark, also had manners, if the other showed them, he would return them.
He stepped closer, and stated his name, the chestnut gave a slight nod in thanks, then spoke Chaos He licked his lips. Riku seemed lost in his own world, interesting. Any particular reason why you are here? he asked, again, in a slightly polite tone polite? Who am I kidding Well, as polite as it could possibly be anyways. Today, the sun was hot in the sky, the air thick and musty. He did not want a fight, well, atleast, he wouldn't start one, but would give one if the oppertunity came forward.

... Kirei na aozora no shita de.

Did I really have to get matched up with the misfits? The stubborn, immature little misfits? I spoke only a few words to this stallion, and he said such foolish words, I had to laugh. For this slow, wired moment, I let my Xehanort side in, and he didn't waste any time. I could think of a dozen smart retorts instantly, one of which was to kill, but I took the easiset route possible. My crown raised angrily, neck arching. I was almost a full hand taller than him. Ha, did I feel big now. No, this wasn't me, it was Xehanort. He was just in my body. Using me, making me a pawn in his game. Yet, I was letting him for this small moment. I didn't care about the fact that I was letting the darkness in my heart, but I had a great reason to.

"How do you know that, Chaos? I've only spoken a few words to you, and you make this assumption. Who minds if it's true? You, to be making that decision, are just as immature, if not even more."

"Riku, be careful." Sora, I can handle this. I'm not going to let a little snot nose brat like this try to boss me around. "But you can't let Xeha-" Sora, trust me. I can handle this, I promise. I know how to deal with this. He spoke again. "Why are you here?" You must be in a testy mood Chaos, eh? My blue-green eyes closed in exasperation, and when they opened, I chuckled dryly. My steel tinted tassels flicked around my thin, arched neck as my crown shook. This wouldn't be a fun day, I could tell this easily. "Riku, darling, do something." Shut up Maleficent. I don't need yours or- you're right, but still, be quiet.

"I'm where I want to be. I'm just wandering for- I'm wandering."

"You're wandering for the door Riku." Yes Sora. I am, I want to be back with you and Kairi, so bad. I know I'll get there soon. My eyes closed again, and I inhaled a deep breath, before staring at Chaos. That last statement, it made Xehanort vanish, back into my heart. I was calm, once more, for now.

Ah, a little cocky stallion. How exciting. Chaos snorted and jolted his head, he let go a light laugh at this Riku He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the other. How do I know that? he scoffed, lifting a foreleg up off the ground then placing it back down roughly. Did your senses not tell you I was here? Surely you could of smelt there was the presence of another stallion close. he snapped. Foolish horse.
Chaos snorted again, I'm just wandering, Wandering in on my personal space. he said clearly, flicking his dark red cord in annoyance. He had had enough chatting with this brute, unless he had something else to say that was worth staying for. Grunting quietly, he walked forward and brushed past Riku, barely even touching his side, and out into the clearing, his pace remained at a steady walk, no faster, just incase the other wanted to talk some more.

Post done? Not really sure where it's going.
