But...
Why? It was mine. That's how it should've been from the start.
[Who's pissed? Riku's pissed. He's tried a number of times. The Keyblade-- he had it in his grasp. Though he doesn't recall every detail as for why or how, that doesn't matter. The fact is that he did have it... only now it's gone ( Read more... )

But then she hears this.
She hears this, and it's like being stabbed right in the heart. The jealousy, so clear and bitter and unhappy.
From the start...
It's a long time before Xion can find a way to reply to that. She can't remember if she's ever -- ever -- felt this betrayed. The thing he covets so dearly, the thing he so obviously, desperately wishes he possessed... the thing she had, and the thing which ultimately killed her: the Keyblade. She died for having it, painfully, brutally, twice ... and he still wants it.
Sometimes, Riku, there are lines you cross ... over which you can't go back.
Xion's voice is very blank when she speaks. ]
From the start, huh?

Crap.
It takes a long time for Riku to respond as well. He should have known she'd be upset, but he didn't even mean to say that-- not to have it recorded anyway.
Yeah, he's in deep trouble.]
Xion, I--
I'm sorry. It's just...
[Sigh.]
It's hard. Knowing I was supposed to get the Keyblade, I mean. Seeing Sora and Roxas with theirs...
I shouldn't have said anything.

Other than to lash out. ]
But you still said it. And even if you hadn't said it, you still would have been thinking it, right? You just said you were supposed to get it! Why do you even care about it that much?! [ her voice is tight and so, so angry. ]
Do you know what happened the very first time I spoke to you, Riku? Back home? We fought, and you beat me easily. It was so frustrating. You had this sword... and it wasn't a Keyblade. Maybe that's what you should be looking for instead.
[ a beat. ] And you know what, Riku? [ so bitter. and now, just ... upset. upset, unhappy, and deeply hurt. ] For once, sorry isn't going to cut it.
[ with that, she rather violently slams the journal shut. ( ... )

[Sora isn't the most mature of people a lot of times, but even he can see how Riku's thoughts would be detrimental to others. He hasn't gone through the fire yet, and it shows.]
...You should probably know, we can hear you.
[And Sora's totally got a :/ face going on.]

Yeah. Like with Xion, Riku takes his sweet time before responding. While he's still extremely pissed and jealous, he's calmed down a little since the end of... whatever took over the village these past few days.]
Guess I'm in trouble, huh?

[And it's all the old subjects coming back up - he still remembers very clearly what happened in Hollow Bastion - how the Keyblade abandoned him and went to Riku.]

He tenses up, but nonetheless he glances back at Ted.]
Hey.

[There's a long pause. By now he's already talked to Xion, and he know's he's made a mistake. Better to fess up now before he and Roxas jump down his throat.]
Listen, I wasn't thinking when I said that, but now Xion's taken it the wrong way. But just so you know, I didn't mean to upset her.

[A pause.]
Is the Keyblade really that important to you?

[Deep breath.]
I wasn't thinking.

Are you okay?
