Twilight Eclipse

Chapter 4: Protected

Sephiroth leaned over the two sleeping figures and smiled.
He bent down and picked up the small brunette gently and carried him over to a small velvet sofa in the corner of the room.
"Goodnight Sora."
Sephiroth then turned his attention to the blond who was breathing deeply under a thin blanket on the bed. Slowly he made his way to the side of the bed, where he kneeled on the floor and watched his love breathing deeply.
Sephiroth brushed a loose bang of hair from Cloud's face before resting his hands on Cloud's stomach.
"I love you both. I'll see you in the morning Cloud."
He planted a feather light kiss on the blond's cheek before leaving the room as silently as he had entered.

Vincent stood silently in the blistering wind, staring up at the large mansion in front of him. He glanced at the shining silver pocket watch in his pale hand before shaking his head and sighing.
'Late…as usual…' he thought to himself before turning his gaze up towards the many balconies. As he scanned the dark windows he noticed a flash of silver retreat from one of the balconies.

'Strange…' Vincent shrugged slightly before turning to the front door.

"Okay! Yazoo come on! On three! One….two-" Loz kneeled behind a large stone gargoyle and stared down at the target below, his right arm raised.
"Stop! I have a better idea!" Yazoo pried the multicoloured water balloons from Loz's arms, disappeared through the glass doors and returned with a shorter blond man beside him.
Loz stifled a laugh as Yazoo whispered his plan.

'I wonder what's taking him so…oh, there he is.' Vincent nodded to Sephiroth as he emerged from the front door.
Sephiroth spotted the dark haired man and waved to him as he made his way over.
"Sorry I'm late Vincent I wa-"

"DANCE WATER DANCE!"

Before Sephiroth could blink Vincent was sent flying into the nearby car by tunnel of water.
Sephiroth cringed as the water stopped and Vincent pushed himself from the car with a murderous glare plastered on his face.
"I'm so sorry Vincent…" Sephiroth helped Vincent steady himself and offered him his coat.
Vincent shook his head and stared at a particular balcony where three men could be seen and heard laughing hysterically.
"BOYS!" Sephiroth followed Vincent's gaze and shouted at the top of his lungs, "GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
The three men flinched slightly before disappearing into clouds of black smoke and crystallised water.
Sephiroth sighed as the trio appeared in front of him, their heads were bowed slightly so that the two older men couldn't see the grins on their faces.
"Apologize to Vincent."
"Sorry…-giggle-…Vincent…" Loz managed to force out the words that his father wanted. Sephiroth turned to the next silver haired man.
"Yazoo?"
Yazoo looked up to Vincent and smiled, "Sorry."
Vincent's eyes narrowed, "Hn…"
Sephiroth shook his head and turned to the last man, "Demyx?"
"Sorry Vincent…" Demyx looked up to the dripping wet man with a genuine 'sorry look' on his face.
"Go on, go inside. Promise me you'll keep an eye on Cloud for me."
The three men nodded before turning and running towards the house.
"I honestly don't know how you cope Sephiroth. You must have the patience of a saint."
"Heh heh…" Sephiroth rubbed the back of his head before sliding into the car.

Riku wandered the empty halls in silence, slowly but surely making his way to his father's room.
Sora had been gone all night. And Riku was not pleased.
He turned a corner and walked slowly up a long flight of stairs, stopping when he reached his destination. Riku rested his hand on the door knob before turning it in his cold grasp.

Riku slipped inside the room and scanned the area. There was no sign of Sora anywhere. Cloud was sleeping soundly in the large bed in front of him, everything was quiet.
Riku closed the door behind him and made his way over to the sleeping male, a thin blanket rested over his slender yet muscular body and his hand rested on his slightly swollen stomach. He reached out and brushed a loose bang from his face, causing the older blond to mumbled something and bury his face into his many pillows.

A small squeak pulled Riku back to the real world. He turned instantly and stared at the open window. A long white blanket was tied to the foot of the four poster bed and was hanging out of the window. 'Why didn't I notice that before?'
Riku shot to the open window, rested his hands on the wooden frames, and stared down at a small brunette who stared back at Riku with wide eyes.

"Um…"
"Sora get back up here now!" Riku ordered.
Sora simply shook his head and shimmied further down the knotted blanket.
Riku growled and grabbed the blanket in his hands, pulling it towards him.
Sora gasped but did not release his grip nor did he stop climbing down.
He frantically tried to climb down faster but due to Riku pulling the blanket up and Sora moving down, he realised that he wasn't getting anywhere fast.
Riku stopped and looked down at Sora again; he dropped the blanket onto the floor and held it in position with his foot, "Sora. I'll give you one more chance to get back inside."
Sora looked from Riku then to what little blanket there was left to climb, 'Oh man…'
Slowly Sora began to climb back up the blanket, hands trembling at the thought of what Riku might do.

The silver haired boy mumbled something under his breath; something about Sora being 'too slow', and grabbed the blanket in his hands and yanked it backwards.
Sora screamed as he was sent soaring through the open window and onto the hard floor.
"Omph!"
Riku smirked slightly and grabbed the back of Sora's shirt.
"Still think you can escape me? You're mine. You shall never leave my side as long as I have the strength to fight for you."
Sora shuddered as Riku's cold breath brushed against his skin making it tingle, 'He's crazy!'
"I am not crazy Sora. Now come on." He jerked Sora upwards and pushed him towards the door.

"Don't hurt him Riku."

Both of the teens turned to see that Cloud was sitting upright in his bed; arms wrapped protectively around his stomach.
Riku immediately released his grip on Sora, "M-mother...I'm…I'm sorry…did we wake you?" he bowed low and pushed Sora down to do the same.
Cloud shook his head, "You didn't wake me. The sound of Sora hitting the ground woke me."
Sora glanced at Riku who was averting his gaze from both of them.
"I…I'm sorry mother. I will be gentler with him."
Cloud stared at Sora intently. "Are you alright?"
Sora nodded nervously; his gaze still locked on Riku, studying the silver haired teen's reaction to Cloud. His, 'mother'.
"Take Sora back to you room and do not harm him."
All Riku did was nod in response to Cloud's warning.

Riku grabbed Sora's wrist and dragged him out of the room at an amazing speed, Sora could have sworn that his feet didn't even touch the ground.
At the speed that Riku was going it didn't take the two long to reach Riku's bedroom.

Riku released his grip on Sora and sat on the bed in silence.
Even though Sora could easily say that he hated everything about Riku, the silver haired boys silence was unnerving. Sora hesitantly made his way towards the older boy and gently sat himself beside him.

"Um…so…what's up?"

After hearing what had just come out of his mouth Sora could have easily sewn his lips shut. Especially when Riku just stared at him with a blank expression on his face.
The silence made Sora stare at anything and everything in the room except Riku, until the silver haired teen replied to his question.

"Cloud is right…"
Sora stared at Riku but kept his head low so that he wouldn't notice.
"I shouldn't…I shouldn't treat you the way I do. I should be…gentler with you."
Riku spoke as though it pained him to get the words out.
Sora raised his head slowly, "W-what did you say?"
Riku turned his whole body away from the brunette. "I'll…I'll be gentler with you. I…I'll try not to push you away."
A look of utter confusion spread across Sora's face, why was Riku saying all of this? This wasn't the Riku he'd first met, the cold, cruel and dark Riku.
"Why don't you say anything to me?" Riku suddenly turned back to Sora with an agitated look upon his face.

"Um…I…" Sora stuttered as he tried to think of something to say.
"No…don't…" Riku sighed heavily, "I…I'm sorry for getting angry with you. You can probably tell I'm not very good at coping with it."
Before Sora could find anything to say to the older boy he had wrapped his arms around him in a tight embrace.
"You are mine Sora…and I'll always be here to protect you."
Sora's eyes widened slightly in surprise. 'Protect me? But…'

"…who's going to protect me from you?"

I know it's kinda short but oh well, (sigh) I shall begin working on chapter 5 immediately soon-ish!
