Darkening Abyss Ch 2
Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews ^_^
Enjoy!
"Cloud! Stop this!" Vincent yelled at Cloud while dodging the heavy buster sword onslaught. Being a long ranged specialist, getting this close to a sword of this magnitude was dangerous and lethal, but what else could Vincent do? The younger just completely snapped.
"Cloud you need to fight it!" The dark haired fighter's words fell on deaf ears. Having no avail on the blonde, Vincent retreated up onto the very top of a large boulder, trying to by some time and distance from his attacking partner.
Laughing crazily, Cloud yelled out towards Vincent "Oh you stupid little vampire, do you really think that hiding away will by you time? Oh dear, I do believe you…" Cloud disappeared from Vincent's line of view and then suddenly re-appeared right behind him, "ARE MISTAKEN!"
Vincent bent down as the sword swooped from his left side over towards his right, embedding itself into the rock. "Damnit, how the hell does this stupid boy wield such a large weapon…I bet it was due to all those mako injections," the taken over blonde said as he tried to dislodge First Tsurugi.
Scrunching his eyes in confusion towards the last statement made by the blonde, Vincent realized just who they were fighting against. Mako injections? No…it can't… "Cloud! I know you can hear me! Fight it! You have to!"
"Oh he's long gone you worm! My device I shot into him sends out small shocks towards the brain which in turn disrupts thinking patterns and actions. With this disruption, I can confuse the brain into thinking and acting upon its new orders sent in by me. Sensory neurons are corrupt within his mind, thus allowing him to feel no pain. So come… let me tear you apart!" The maddened boy once again began struggling to pull out the weapon.
Finally dislodging the sword, Cloud swung it towards Vincent just as the other leapt up towards the sky, shooting precise bullets out towards the base of the sword. The metal bullets' hit caused the weakened blonde to once again drop the deadly weapon, making it clamber to the ground, and once again, embedding itself into the earth beneath it.
The Not Cloud roared out in frustration. "God DAMN you Vincent Valentine! When I get a hold of that sword you are going to-"
Get out of my head! "What the hell? NO!"
I won't allow you…to hurt my friends! "NO! This can not be happening!"
Get the fuck out! "Control! I'm loosing control!"
"Cloud it's working! Come on Cloud I know you can get out of his grasp on you!" Vincent carefully made his way over towards the struggling blonde, placing his clawed hand on the back of Cloud's shoulder.
Wait, what's this? Looking towards the protruding, disk-shaped machinery embedded into the blonde's neck, Vincent grasped it and pulled the item from its meaty confinements. As he did so, a small blue and white electrical discharge was seen. Cloud's body collapsed into Vincent's awaiting arms; Cloud's eyes flutter open slightly, revealing his normal pools of crystalline blue.
A small upwards curve of Vincent's lips was the only facial emotion seen as he tightened his arms around the other. "Cloud you're back."
Weakly whispering back, all Cloud could come up with was, "It hurts…Vincent…"
The once dulling of his wounds from earlier, now renewed with vigor. Whatever had happened to him, after he felt his mind slip from his control, was lost. He now felt each gash and cut throb angrily; the gouges in his stomach made white hot pain race across his vision as he rolled his head to the side, moaning in pain. Blood seeped from between black fabrics and onto Vincent's gloved and clawed hands, the red making a liquid contrast to the metallic weapon as it dripped off his golden claws.
Feeling his heart clench once again as he watched his companion slip into unconsciousness, Vincent lifted Cloud and began the trek back into Midgar, picking up the buster sword along the way. He needed to take his companion someplace where he would be treated with the best medical attention.

"Rufus…ungh…stop…" the red-headed body guard moaned as he felt his President's sleek fingers work their way across his heated body.
"Reno you must stop disobeying me. You know the consequences" Rufus slyly smiled as he trailed butterfly kisses across Reno's toned chest. The blonde stopped at Reno's right nipple, sucking and tugging it with his teeth as his other hand played with the neglected left nub.
"Yeah but that's why…ah…I'm so bad…" Reno arched up from the floor in Rufus's office as he felt the blonde make his way down towards Reno's pants, pulling them off, and releasing his aching member. Rufus nuzzled the burning red hairs at the base of the red heads cock, taking his tongue and licks from base to head. Moaning in appreciation, Reno bucked his hips, pleading for more.
Rufus un-buttoned his white dress shirt and discarded it onto the pile of clothes surrounding them. Coming back up to Reno's mouth, he kissed the red-head and licked his bottom lip, asking for entrance. Reno opened his mouth with a gasp as he felt his lover's hand snake around his erection, pumping it slowly. Moaning into the kiss, Rufus once again left the moist cavern and dropped down towards his prize. Engulfing Reno's cock in one fell swoop, Rufus sucked the head, slowly making his way to towards the base, deep-throating it.
"Oh god…Rufus…mmm yeah…so good…ah" Reno grabbed a hold of Rufus's blonde locks and tugged them as he felt the Shinra President give him one hell of a blowjob.
Releasing Reno's cock with an audible pop, Rufus deviously smiled at the red head as he opened the bottom drawer, grabbed a bottle, and squirted lube onto his fingers. "How many times do you plan on not following orders a week Reno?"
"As many times as I…damn well please yo." Reno shakily replied as he felt two cool, slick fingers enter him and work their way around.
"Ah…I see. Your punishments will just have to be a little different now I guess." Rufus said as he added a third finger, watching the red head writhe with pleasure as he hit the bundle of nerves deep within Reno. Sending the Turk into a fit of moans, Rufus leaned down and licked the red-head's cock. Nipping at the tip, Rufus watched as pre-cum trickled out in beads of white, he too moaned as Reno tightened around his embedded fingers. Turning the moaning red-head over and removing his impaling appendages, Rufus positioned himself at Reno's entrance.
BZZZZ-BZZZZ…
"What the hell is that yo?" An angry Reno snarled out as was still bent over on all fours. He was so close to completion!
"You have got to be kidding me…" Rufus grumbled as he got up and grabbed his cell phone. Tseng.
"This had better be good Tseng."
"Sorry to disturb you Sir but we have a situation here… It seems that Vincent decided to return bearing us a blonde and red package."
A small beep was heard as Rufus's phone screen showed the main lobby in Shinra.
"Ugh….tell them to fucking leave…" Reno moaned out. He wanted to be fucked into oblivion for crying out loud… was that too much to ask?
"I wish I could love, but this seems like a situation where if I do not comply with their request, someone I owe a lot to will likely die," Rufus stated coolly.
Face contorting in confusion and frustration, Reno gripped the carpet, wanting to pull it from the flooring. "Who the hell... oh yeah, Cloud." He remembered the incident with the remnants.
Reno stood up and peeked over Rufus's shoulder at the screen.
"Oh… Shit…"
-------
Racing down the seemingly endless halls of the Shinra building, Reno and Rufus finally reached the entrance where the almost lifeless blond was held in Vincent's blood soaked arms.
"Shit yo, what the fuck happened?" Reno yelled towards Vincent as he ran his fingers across Cloud's pale neck, trying to locate the pulse on the dying hero. Sure they weren't on the best of friendship terms, but that didn't mean that he hated the little guy. Well… he's not so little anymore. He sighed in relief when he found the weak thump. Reno cringed when he caught sight of all scratches and lacerations decorating Cloud, watching as fresh blood slowly seeped from the deep and lethal wounds continuously.
"I don't know if we can really save him…look at the wounds…" Reno voiced his opinion in a small whisper mainly to himself yet the gunslinger heard him nonetheless.
"Please you need to help him." Vincent begged, crimson eyes burning with… something.
Arching up a fine blond eyebrow, Rufus turned and began walking towards the back elevator into the building, signaling for the three to follow him. Wonder what that was all about. I knew those two were living together but…huh…seems like things in Edge are going to get even more interesting.
Vincent held out the remnants of the device that was shot into Cloud's neck towards Rufus. "I found this on him; you'll know who it's from."
The look on Vincent's face was unreadable by all, save for the Shinra President. Something has spooked the spooker… the only one who had ever ruffled the bat's wings was…
Rufus took the offered remains of technology and narrowed his eyes.
"Reno take them downstairs so the doctors can work on Cloud. I need to go look something up." Rufus ordered as he and Reno both departed in separate ways. Rufus took an elevator up to his office while Reno and the others went down. Opening files long forgotten on his computer from back when Hojo was in charge of the research section, Rufus sat down at his computer and began analyzing the Professor's work.
-------
"Good evening Reno, what can we do for-" the doctor was silenced by the loud red-head's bombardment of orders.
"Do everything in your power to make sure he lives! If we come back to find him DEAD you will rue the fucking day you signed on to work for Shinra bud…Why the fuck are you all still standing here! Move your fucking asses!"
"Understood, sir!" The doctors scurried off; they placed Cloud onto a stretcher and wheeled him into the surgery room.
Turning towards Vincent, Reno asked in a demanding tone, "Listen yo, I need to know what exactly the fuck happened to him. I've never seen the kid so torn up, literally."
Whatever worry was on Vincent's face was now replaced with his usual mask of calmness and collected nature. "I really don't know. Cloud went out earlier on some sort of delivery and when he didn't return when he should have I began to worry. Today I overheard some civilians prattling on about monsters that were behaving abnormally outside of the city walls: that's probably why Cloud has been sent on so many deliveries, people are scared of whatever is out there. I believe I know who the attacker is, but I do not wish to bring back unhappy memories for most of us with my theory. Whoever attacked Cloud, I bet, has been watching him for quite some time. Yet the way Cloud was so torn up, it seems that the one controlling whatever beasts ripped Cloud up knew his attack style and patterns. The only ones that could read and keep up with Cloud's attack style are Sephiroth, Zack, and myself. But-"
"Hey I can take on Cloud too ya know yo."
Tseng rolled his eyes are Reno and Vincent began a small argument. One day, Reno's loud mouth was going to get him into more trouble that it already had.
Vincent shot the Turk a glare that could still moving water and continued his thoughts. "As I was saying, but Sephiroth and Zack are dead, so I doubt that they could, or even would, come back just to harm Cloud and take control of him."
"Hold it a second Vampy, you're forgetting someone."
"Reno you do not possess the capabilities of besting Cloud in a battle."
"Shut up man, I'm not talking about me. Hojo. You're forgetting that bastard and his crazy shit things and…yeah."
"Hojo died as well Reno or have you forgotten?"
"No I have not forgotten Vincent. I'm just saying…"
"Yes I know, he was the one who I originally thought was behind all this."
"Wait so you thought of Hojo too? So then you have no right to be calling me an idiot!"
"Those words did not leave my mouth Reno."
"But you were thinking it!"
"Thinking is not the same as saying."
"Oh fuck you Valentine…"
"No I believe it is Rufus who does it to you."
Reno couldn't help but let a grin spread lazily across his face. "Well it's damn good Valentine. So how'd you figure it out?" It was supposed to be a secret but… ah hell…
Smirking slightly and replying in a monotonous voice, Vincent said, "From my time in the Turks I do not believe it's a custom to wear the clothing of the President."
Looking down to see what he was exactly wearing, Reno was just about to reply when a doctor by the name of Hisao Mikami entered the waiting room. The doctor looked like he was in his late twenties. He had jet black hair that passed his thin shoulders slightly and spiked a little at the tips. Mikami's eyes were twin pools of dark ocean blue that literally glowed and brought out his deathly pale face. The guy was cool, but gave the red head the creeps for some weird reason... Tseng narrowed his eyes, Mikami... that name didn't sound extremely familiar...
"Mr. Strife is fine. We were able to close all his wounds and patch him up nicely. There will be little scaring left over from the clawed attack on his back, as well as the two puncture wounds to his stomach, but it won't be very noticeable. The mako within his body is helping to speed up the recovery process as well. He has been moved into the recovery room. Please do not be so loud Mr. Reno, Cloud does need his sleep to recover lost energy. You both are allowed to see him."
"Hey there Hisao, thanks for fixin' up Cloud." Reno said as he clapped his hand against the shorter doctor's shoulder.
"Reno." Tseng called out to the younger Turk.
"What's up Boss?"
"Before you continue your festivities with the President," Reno's face took on a slight reddish tinge, "I need you to finish the paperwork from that last mission."
"Of all the things to call me out on..." The red head rubbed the left side of his face and sighed.
Tseng simply smirked in the background. It was amusing to ruffle the red head's feathers and get him all flustered. Serves Reno right for neglecting the copious amounts of paper work that were now piling up on Tseng's desk which the red head failed to fill out on time.
Yes, a little pay back here and there never hurt anyone.
"Don't give me that look Tseng." Reno pointed an accusing finger towards the smirking Wutai.
Vincent was already walking fast paced down the empty hallway towards Cloud's assigned room, completely ignoring the two Turks that were still standing in the waiting room.
