Challenge: [090] Under Lock and Key
Title: Sweet Revenge
Word count: 300
Spoilers: Inferred for KH2
Notes: Riku-centric, Sora, Kairi post KH2. Maleficent gets what’s coming to her. Rated ‘R’ for language.
Revenge is so fuckin' sweet.
He was grinning like an idiot, and he knew it. Didn't matter, though- Kairi was right behind him, and Sora was right behind her. They couldn't see it.
Riku couldn't smell any goblins ahead. He grinned even harder at that. Maleficent's home-world minions were remarkably innocent, for all their brutality, darkness or no darkness. Most of the Darkness smell around them had been caused by Maleficent herself- her lingering presence in this castle she'd called home for... well, who knew how long?
No, he didn't smell her minions by their Darkness.
Goblins didn't believe in personal hygiene.
The security was laughable. No Heartless about, stupid enemies, easily avoided sentries. This was a cakewalk- he half expected there to be home horrible trap waiting for them when they got to their destination, but he didn't care. He was enjoying this that much.
Riku wasn't going to get overconfident (past experience told him how badly that could mess up your day) but damn he was having fun.
Peeking in the window of the first prison cell showed an empty room. They moved on to the next. Also empty.
Five down the line they still hadn't sprung any traps, but they'd found an occupant. Riku signaled to Kairi and they huddled around the door. Sora kept watch over one end of the hall, and Riku the other.
"Prince Phillip?" Kairi whispered.
There was a moment of silence.
"...Who is there?"
"We're friends of Princess Aurora," she told him. "We'll have you out of there in a second." Gingerly she pulled the ring-shaped doorknob. Kairi mock-pouted at Riku as it failed to budge. "The door is locked."
"Well darn, we'll never get past a locked door," Sora also pouted.
They grinned wickedly at each other.
Revenge was so sweet.

Date: 2007-01-11 09:16 pm (UTC)Brother: You wants dinner?
Me: Yes. As soon as I'm done reading these drabbles.
Brother: ... why does it take so long? Aren't you hungry?
Me: Cause I'm commenting too. Yes, my stomach is going like this: 'grrrr. I hates you'.
Brother: It's telling you to change all your responses to 'nice effort! keep it up!!'
So, this is me definitely not telling you 'nice effort, keep it up'. Because yaaaay, for this fic, yaaay. It somehow manages to be cute, funny, and angsty all at the same time, and there's an achievement in itself. And you've just fed the ot3 part of my brain, which is nice too. :D Hey, if the three of them are in the same room, it's ot3. And Maleficent so gets what’s coming to her! AND GOBLINS! That also made me happy. And somewhat cynical trio is new and interesting and oh I wish oh I wish I could be a fly on Maleficent’s wall soon enough, lol. Charming writing, as always! *heartsheartshearts*

Preach it, Tabitha. :D
XD "And aaaaaaaaaaaaall the cradles!"
Maleficent: Cradle?
Goblin: Every cradle.
Maleficent: CRADLE?! >:x
^^ The older they get, the more likely it is to happen? A slightly darker trio is fun- Roxas and Namine make up the darkness Sora and Kairi didn't manage to develop as kids. ;p Riku feels slightly less out of place now~.

Date: 2007-01-17 01:06 am (UTC)Even if it might not be 'so bad'.
Sora's Mom: O.o
Sora: What?
Sora's Mom: How dare you!
Sora: ...Mom, I asked if I could spend a night on the island.
Sora's Mom: This is That Riku's influence! He's encouraging you to be more independant... *wringing her hands* you spent more than a year away from me and now you want to spend the night out?!
Sora: *whining* Moooommmmmm...
