Alright, It's done but I must warn you this is pretty dark!
Sora, please don't be mad at me.
-------------------------------------------
Nighttime had descended upon Urbadelphia and while most people would be tucking themselves in for the night, I'm not like most people as the hunger I felt overrided my need for sleep. I had tried for many a time to stave it off as for how long...I cannot remember. I kept to the shadows as I spotted someone coming out of a convince store and as I waited for them to get in a secluded area where they wouldn't expect the shape of the body reminded me of someone in the vestiges of memory I had left.
I don't like reflecting on my past as it was filled with memories that constantly barrage me. I fought the memories that surfaced and as much as I tried to push them down one refused to go away. “Sora...I hope you can forgive me from where you are now.” It was another day like any other, Sora had finally decided to open up to me as a friend and we decided to meet up at where he lived to hang out without the pressure of The Devil, demons, Izaya, or Jack for once. As night approached we were in the living room watching an old movie from our childhood.
“It was nice hanging out with you again Sora. I almost forgot what it felt like to have a normal life or OUR version of a normal life.” I said as I settled in. “Haha, true that Riku. You sure Darla's not going to mind?” He said. “Nah, I think she'll get along just fine without me for one night. She's very independent.” I said. “Alright, I'm going to order Pizza, you want anything special?” Sora asked as he picked up the phone and dialed the local pizza joint.
“Whatever you want is fine with me. We share the same taste afterall.” I said matter of factly. As he dialed I felt a pain in my stomach. “No, not now! Not when I just managed to patch things up!” I grunted.
The pain. It was a pain no normal human could stand without going insane from it but being an Otherborn doesn't make you normal now does it? I had managed to stave it off by killing small animals like rats and mice and the occasional bird. At first I thought it was just a side effect of overusing my powers or a delay that only had just now flared up but then I remembered that Jack had did something to me when he gave me that power boost when we went to retake the Sword Of Aeons.
“Damn you Jack, why did you do this?” I thought. “Stupid question. At his core he was a demon who only seeks to further his own ends and I was an idiot for thinking he would give me more power with no strings attached. I franticily looked around for anything to sadate my hunger for blood but to no avail and as the hunger increased my sense of logical thinking deteriorated until finally I snapped.
“Riku, the pizza will be here in an hour alright?” Sora said hanging the phone back on it's charge cradle. “Perfect. Just enough time to do what I need to do.” I said not turning my head. “And what would that be Riku?” He said as he tilted his head to the side.
“Why it's simple old friend, I'm so very hungry and I need a snack.” I said as my mouth curled into a devilish grin. “Can't you wait?” Sora asked. “No. I need to FEED!!” I shouted as my eyes turned dark blood-red and lept onto Sora. “Riku! What the hell has gotten into you?!?” Sora shouted. “Riku? No...Riku's not here right now. However, if you'd like to leave a message I'll make sure he gets it.” I spoke as my body switched into my Dark Mode and drew Soul Eater.
Sora was confused. “Then just who am I talking to?” he said trying to buy time to transform into Ghost Rider, he didn't want to hurt his friend but he sure as hell wasn't going to let whatever possessed Riku kill him ether. “Name? Hmm...Call me...Ansem.” I said. “Alright Ansem, let's how tough you are!” Sora said as he attempted to transform into Ghost Rider as his skin melted away. “I don't think so!” “Ansem” said as he rasied Soul Eater and before Sora could complete his transformation Soul Eater ripped through his neck as crimson blood splattered all over my body and face which “Ansem” only licked off his face.
“Delicious. Like a fine wine.” He said as a pool of blood began to form as Sora's head bounced before stopping in front of the refrigerator. “Ansem” giggled in glee as he began to lick the blood off Soul Eater and began to to use his powers to drain the remaining blood from Sora's body to which after his body collapsed on the floor after sucking it dry.
I awoke a little later with a headache. “What happened to me?” I asked but as I looked down I saw the horror I had committed. Sora's still warm headless body on the floor. “No...What have I done?!? Sora! I'm so sorry!!!!” I broke down as tears began to pour down my face when I heard a knock at the door. “Shit! I need to get out of here!” I said as I left through the back door and opened a dark portal and left.
The police were called but no sign of the killer was found, only a sticky note with very crude handwriting remained as if written hastily.
My head ached from the memory as it continued. It wasn't my fault I told myself multiple times after that night but one night I came to the foregone conclusion.
It WAS me. I was Ansem. I had snapped and killed my best friend in my madness. “No use feeling sorry for myself. I did the deed.” I raised my sword to end the pain but every time I tried the sword disappeared each time just before piercing my heart. The hunger was insatiable now that it had tasted human blood and I craved more. Riku Nomura died that night and in his place, Ansem was born.
My eyes turned that same blood-red color as the person I was stalking entered an alley. I used my dark portal to appear behind them. “Who's that?” They cried. “No one important. You won't be around long enough to care anyway.” I said. The person turned around revealing their long scarlet-red hair. “Riku!” they cried. I remembered that face, Shiki, Sora's girlfriend. “I'm not Riku anymore. The name is Ansem.” I said as Soul Eater appeared in my hand. “ Before you kill me, did you know who killed Sora?” She asked.
“As your last request, I shall you who did.” I flashed that same grin I did on that night. “It was me.” Her face became horrified. “No...It can't be, you were best friends!” She said. “WERE best friends.” I corrected her. “Now he's a friend of death. Time to reunite with your lover.” I raised Soul Eater and decapitated her in the same way I did Sora.
This who I am now. A cold-blooded killer with no remorse for those who may have once been my friends.
A slave to a hunger which will never cease.
I am Ansem.

God, that was as dark as I've ever written!
Thanks Neku for giving me the inspiration to write this.
Don't worry folks, this is non-canon. Just a what-if with Riku.
Sora, please don't be mad at me.
