A dark portal quickly opened up at the edge of the great maw, or the still rubble edge of Hallow Bastion.
Riku stumbled out but held himself up against a piece of wall. "I need time..." he mumbled while sinking down toward the ground. He reached up and slowly and pulled his hood off letting his head rest against the wall. The cerulean eyes watched the sky while clouds started to float blissfully through the darkening sky. He didn't know what was happening to him, or what was going on with his mind lately.
A sigh escaped his lips as he looked down at his hands, 'the' hands. The ones he used to fight Sora, to hold Kairi, to catch fish, to build the raft... so many locked up memories decided to pop up and show their faces. He shook his head to rid the thoughts that burdened him, the thoughts he didn't want at the moment with everything going on.
The pupils in Riku's eyes narrowed hearing the heavy 'thump' of boots headed toward his way. Carefully he lifted himself up and moved to he would be hidden in the shadows. Quietly, he pulled his hood up and watched as a man with an all black outfit, adorned with fancy metal pieces. This man did remind him of someone... with the spikey...blonde hair... his hair... just reminded him of when Sora's hair was short...

Cloud paused to check his surroundings, it was the same old bunch of ruins it had always been but it did feel a bit odd today passing by it today, it didn’t bother him much though as he pressed on and the sound of his heavy boots made themselves known again, on one odd occasion he wondered why he always had such heavy stuff that he carried and not something lighter, I mean the sword weighted god knows what.
Never exactly stopped him thought, getting back to the point, Cloud turned a corner and out of the sight of Riku, his boots noise dimming as he got further away from Riku and onto a different type of walkway, life was just a bit to dull around Hollow Bastion now a days, since the heartless were not much of a problem because of the key bearers heroics.
He sighed heavily, wanting something a little more interesting then walking around the ruins all the time, something that could give him a reason to swing that massive juggernaut of a Buster Sword he always carried on his back again, but that at this point didn’t seem very likely at all, even if there was someone around the place hiding from him.
He backed up against a wall and slide down it, coming to a rest on the cold earth underneath him, running his hand through his hair he felt like he was just about ready to go to sleep and dream, as an escape from what he faced everyday now for the rest of his life and probably even after then, even though peace sounds good, sometimes it isn’t for some people, Cloud might have been one of them.

Riku's strength was returning to him, slowly, but surely he could feel his fight coming back as well. But was it really his? Carefully and quietly he snuck down the path Cloud had taken, keeping himself well hidden in the dark to the sides. Riku's cerulean eyes watched the man sink down against a wall towards the ground. He held back a sigh and walked out of the shadows with his hood up. Slowly he let his head drop and his feet take him down to the path Cloud seemed to be on. His eyes foccused on the ground below him and he listened to his footsteps.
He could feel the tension grow as Cloud's eyes focussed on his taller form. The glare coming from the others eyes seemed to want to burn Riku. He just kept walking, trying to ignore the man. 'I don't have the strength to fight yet..' he thought while clenching his fists a little. He remembered Cloud was not one to mess with unless he was at full strength. Riku's eyes looked up and focussed on his next destination... the castle across the the great maw.

‘Why is there an Organization member here in Hollow Bastion…what are they thinking of this time,” he thought rather anxiously as he watched Riku walk by, going by how he looked this kid had just gone through some sort of major fight or something, he never thought a member could be beaten down so badly till Sora but he thought Sora was done with that for now.
He shouted after Riku “What would someone like you want here?” although he didn’t like to speak to people much, he would have to make the odd exception every now and again as a sacrifice for the greater good, or whatever you want to call it…I don’t know, he’s not some hero like Sora… wait, I guess he is when you look at it, whatever.
So, now that he had laid down the question for Riku how would it all go down in the end, would a big battle ensue between the two of them, or would they sit down and have a nice cup of tea… ok, the last thing I said was a complete lie, just to clear that up so you didn’t actually think they were going to have tea or anything stupid like that.

Riku stopped for a minute hearing Cloud speak towards him.
“What would someone like you want here?”
Riku sighed a little and turned his head to the side, silver hair falling in view of Cloud. "What does it look like...?" His voice was a bit raspy, and quiet. His voice was more mature from when he had met Cloud with Hade's a year back, his height threw off who he was in total. Riku started walking again, his walk picking up the pace.
He clenched his fists a little, hoping not to be stopped by Cloud soon. He could hear Cloud shift like he was getting up, but continued to walk, ignoring the other.
(ooc: a little... short... but i'm at a loss, ill make it longer next time. I just need something to go off of)

Cloud stood up back to his full height and looked after Riku, his mind screaming at him that he’d met the kid once before a little while back, he didn’t recall having met an order member in his travels, so who was it that just walked away from him.
He gave up the thought, he had met many people in his journeys, more then one of them had silver hair, and there were the chances that who he had met had a different hair colour and had died there hair since then.
He turned his head to look down the way he had come and walked slowly back down the dirt and stone path, trying to straighten out the thoughts in his head so that he could figure out some things he needed to know before the day was over.
Riku was out of sight now, which was probably for the best since Riku didn’t want to be disturbed and Cloud didn’t like having to talk to anyone anyway, force of habit I guess, one that he wished to keep though the remainder of his life.
Or at the very least hope to keep, becoming like Sora didn’t sound very good to him at this point, who wants to turn into a kid that’s always in the middle of it after all, actually for who he was that sounded quite appealing to Cloud.
It would have given him something to do after all, besides trying to remember who the silver haired kid was and why he popped up here, right when he was walking around the ruins; maybe the kid had an answer for him.
Cloud turned back around, his mind set on following Riku and finding out who he really was, and why he was here at this world of all places, there were far more profitable aspects out there for the Organisation after all, weren’t there?
