Sora x Riku!
.
.
Sora gulped, and tried his hardest to get up and run as fast as he could. But Sora didn't reach more than five feet as an arm stood out, causing him fall back to collide on the hard, cold floor. Ouch.
"Where do you think you're going?" Seifer questioned, stepping out from his hiding spot, grinning.
Wincing at the pain from the sudden impact, his chest hurting when Sora made contact with Seifer's arm. His messenger bag opened causing papers and books rushing out. Sora tried to put everything back, he didn't want to lose anything relating to school, he liked learning.
"Awe. Look, nerdy boy is picking up his homework," Vanitas sneered. The gang jumped down from the dumpster, all circling around Sora. Popping there knuckles and chuckling, glaring at Sora like a small prey ready to be attack by a predator.
Once done putting everything in place, Sora stood up. "Please... I don't want any trouble. I'll get you whatever you want, just please don't hurt me." Sora reasoned, he figured he could try to do a negotiation. Anything to get away from a beating, especially from someone like Riku.
"Can you get me ten thousand dollars?" Seifer mocked getting real close to Sora. The poor boy felt uncomfortable, his personal space being invaded.
"Or, how about a hot smoking babe for me?" Vanitas added, getting near Roxas as he put an arm around him. "And for this guy right here, how about a fucking new attitude?" Vanitas laughed while Roxas scoffed and swatted his hand of off him.
Axel rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Stop fucking playing around! What I want is to beat the shit out of him!" Axel grabbed Sora harshly by his shirt's collar, bringing him close to him. There faces a few inches apart, Sora began to tremble.
"Look at what you did to my face!" He shouted, glaring at Sora with hatred.
Sora noticed that Axel's nose was red and probably in pain, but he didn't mean to hit him earlier it was an accident.
"I-I- I'm sorry," Sora stuttered, he tried to squirmed out of Axel's grasp. Big mistake.
Axel swung his fist and collided with Sora's face. Feeling thin, bony knuckles against his cheekbones. The force sent Sora backwards, nearly falling but Seifer grabbed a hold of him, only to push him forward.
Sora groaned, his cheek aching in pain. Everyone was watching in amusement, letting Axel do as he wished.
Lifting his fist again, he punched Sora again and this time in front of his nose. Axel was only aiming at his face as payback for Sora's elbow hitting him earlier. Sora stumbled back, this time falling, Seifer catch him so he wouldn't crashed onto the ground.
Blood began to pour from Sora's nose, dripping down his mouth and towards his chin. He couldn't take much more. Seifer raised him up so Sora was on his feet again, but Sora was getting lightheaded and woozy. His face hurt a lot, like he was hit with a baseball bat.
Slowly he looked around, seeing everyone laughing and looking at him funny. All Sora could hear was everything in slow motion, everyone and everything spinning around, getting disoriented. He couldn't understand what the gang was saying when they were trying to talk to him. Sora looked at his shirt to see that his blood had dripped on it.
Just as Axel was about to punch Sora again, Riku stopped him by grasping his wrist. "Enough. He can't handle anymore." Riku declared, narrowing his eyes. Sora was his target, he let Axel give him a few punches but that was it, no more or less.
"So what?! This kid deserves it!" Axel hissed and tried to yank his arm from Riku's grip. The other members remained silence, especially Roxas and Vanitas. Remembering that Riku warned them that Sora was his target.
"Are you disobeying me?" Riku asked, his face darkening and tightened his grip on Axel's wrist, making sure his nails dig in his flesh.
Sora couldn't understand what they were talking about as he was hearing ringing noises. His eyes continuing to fool him by everything moving around. He was standing but moving back and forth, lightly, as if he was about to tumble down and pass out. Blood was still falling from his nose.
"What if I am?!" Axel inquired, and slightly wincing at the sharp nails impaling his skin. With all his might he managed to pry away from Riku causing his wrist to have long, red markings.
Both locked gaze on one another, Axel gritting his teeth in anger while Riku remained calm with no sign of aggression.
Saix immediately went besides Axel as if to back him up, he will always be there for Axel for anything. Even if it means defending him from Riku.
Riku raised his eyebrow in amusement, "You too, Saix? Wow, now I know where you're loyalty stands." He mused.
Sora tried to focus on the gang, they were arguing about something. Seeing Axel pointing at Riku and then Saix marching up to his face to yell at him. Were they going to fight?
Suddenly Sora slumped down and Seifer once again catching him in time. This time he didn't push him up, but kept a hold on Sora as he was watching Riku and Axel arguing. Sora heavily leaned on Seifer, he was tired and in tremendous pain.
"Look you're either with me or against me." Riku warned, glaring at the duo in front of him. His voice rising higher as he looked at Roxas and Vanitas. They nodded and without hesitation went besides Riku.
Axel's eyes widened, he didn't want to fight them because they wouldn't stand a chance. Saix on the other hand didn't care, he would still fight against them, even it means losing. Axel put a hand on Saix's shoulder to calm him down and stand back.
"Don't. We don't stand a chance." Saix looked at Axel, frowning but did as he was told. He backed away.
Sora couldn't keep up, everything started to fade and before he knew it he passed out. Darkness engulfing him, last thing hearing Riku.
Axel narrowed his eyes at Riku. "We're on your side." He said bitterly, folding his arms across his chest.
Riku smirked, "That's more like it. Know your places, otherwise next time I'll make sure you two are in the hospital for weeks. Disobey again and you'll suffer the consequences." He threatened, going up to both of them as he spoke. "Understand," Riku hissed.
Both Saix and Axel nodded, both getting nervous and at the same time frightened. When Riku makes a threat he's dead serious.
"Riku?" Seifer called out.
"What?" Riku asked, his voice hinting irritation as he still kept his gaze on the traitor duos.
"This kid passed out." Seifer uttered out, he didn't even realized Sora had passed out. He was too focus on the scene that was happening in front of him.
Riku turned around quickly, and stare at an unconscious Sora. "Fuck! Why didn't you say anything?!" Riku shouted.
"I was distracted." Seifer shrugged his shoulders, but then noticed that he couldn't do it easily as he was now fully holding onto Sora's whole body weight. How could he not noticed that Sora passed out?
"Look what you did Axel! You knocked the lights out of him!" Vanitas yelled as he jabbed his finger onto his sternum, blaming everything on Axel.
"Me?! You asshole I only gave him two punches! I didn't know he would pass out?" Axel countered in his defense, smacking his arm away from Vanitas. Both glaring at each other.
"Lets just leave him here," Saix suggested, not really caring.
"Are you fucking serious?! Look where we're at! A fucking ally, that's where people that get robbed and rape!" Roxas exclaimed, objecting to the idea. He may not be friends with Sora but that doesn't mean he would leave Sora alone, especially when he's unconscious. Something could happen to him.
Riku was trying so hard to think, but with everyone yelling and screaming at each other wasn't helping Riku. He growled, still trying to think, but he couldn't anymore with the noises getting to him. He had enough and shouted, "SHUT UP!"
Every stopped arguing as they glanced at Riku.
"Roxas has a point, we can't leave him here. But we can't take him out of the ally, otherwise we're in deep trouble. One of you guys has to stay with him until he wakes up. Who knows how long that would take? So, any volunteers?" Riku asked, only to be meant with silence as the gang looked away.
"Don't make me pick." He snarled. "Now I'll ask again, any volunteers?" Riku clenched his fists as he glared at everyone, waiting for a response.
Vanitas scratched behind his head nervously, Axel rubbed his arms not meeting with Riku's gaze. While Saix looked down on the floor like it was the most interesting thing. No one wanted to volunteer, which only made Riku even more angry.
Roxas rolled his eyes. How pathetic that no one wanted to stand up and volunteer. "I'll do it." He raised his hand. Roxas didn't want anything to happen to the gang, especially Vanitas. So he rather do it, and watch Sora. Besides that, he really wanted to see that Sora actually gets up and walks away okay.
Riku grinned, "Very good Roxas. All of you can learn something from him. Now, Seifer put Sora next to the wall so he's laying against it."
Seifer put Sora against the wall, making sure not to hurt him more than he already is. "He looks messed up." Seifer pointed out the obvious. "No shit." Axel shook his head.
"Lets go guys. Roxas keep an eye on Sora till he's up. Call if anything happens." Riku said seriously.
"Got it." With that being said they all left running, only Vanitas staying behind.
Roxas' raised his eyebrow in question, "You're not going?" Then again he wasn't surprise, Vanitas always stuck by his side, being there for him.
"Nah. Rather stay with you. I'll be bored at home anyway." Vanitas grinned and sat down the opposite side of the wall so he was leaning against it. Roxas shook his head but was happy he had company and someone to talk too.
"Whatever, your lost." He went besides Vanitas and sat down as well, watching Sora, across him.
"Hey lets write on his face!" Vanitas suggested, smiling cheekily. Roxas sighed, he's going to hear Vanitas bitching and talking for a while.
"No." He answered, and that was final.
Author's Note... Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! Updated most of my stories, so as promise I updated this chapter. Kinda feel bad for Sora but I have a twist in the next chapter that I'm just dying to write! Who's your favorite member from the gang so far? Just curious. Also I can see Roxas and Vanitas being friendly and best friends for an odd reason, due to there attitudes being similar: both having anger and pride. Though I see Roxas being calmer and reasonable while Vanitas short tamper and hotheaded. Huh there like yin yang, cool!
Let me know what you think! And if any ideas please share or make suggestions! I sometimes take them into considerations!
Read and Review Please!... I'll go faster
