The long awaited chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: ...Don't look at me.
"With the company we keep there's no where they could stay that would be safe." Yuffie said grimly. Cloud, and Leon nodded in agreement.
"They can stay with me." Sora said suddenly. There were suddenly several pairs of eyes watching Sora.
"Do you have the room?" Riku asked seriously. Sora grinned, and nodded.
"Come on I'll show you the way!" Sora conjured a dark portal shuffling everyone through quickly. Riku shook his head at the sudden lightheartedness that Sora sent into the atmosphere. The others grouped together as they passed into the unknown in silence.
They exited the portal outside of a large white building. Jaws dropped as it almost rivaled the size of the mansion Ansem had. Sora beamed at the others reaction this would be the first time in a long time anyone had visited.
"This is yours?" Cloud asked his eyes wide. Yuffie and Leon craned their neck back to take in the sheer size. The elders who were impressed managed their surprise much better.
"Yep. This is what saving up money for a century gets you. You're all welcome to stay here tonight, or whenever you need a place to stay. It just me here after all, its quite lonely after a time." Sora lead the way unlocking the large white door, it opened quickly to a large living room.
The rooms where open and well decorated, both the interior and exterior were in the style of a neo-gothic church. Oddly enough the ancient structure was quite comfortable. The ceiling easily 15 feet high and the floors wooden.
They all walked in slowly taking in the winding staircase as they went. Sora directed everyone to a washroom and fetched clothes even Yuffie could where. After Sora was sure everyone was in a washroom he turned to preparing for his new guests.
0o00oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
An hour and a half later they found themselves relaxing in Sora's living room. Freshly washed, and in clean clothes. Sora had curled up into a ball on Riku's lap, snoozing quietly as Riku ran his hand through Sora's hair.
Demyx too had fallen asleep on the floor next Zexion, who read a book Sora had in his study. Axel watched Sora and Riku amused, although he was bored himself. Leon was busy bandaging Cloud, and Yuffie's wounds quietly. While Xaldin, lay stretched out across a couch that sat adjacent from the group.
Lying on the table was three forgotten plates, and left over crumbs. Sora had also taken the time to get the only three humans something to eat. Xaldin murmured about human frailties and Yuffie threatened to jump him and beat him into his grave.
All was quiet until Sora's eyes snapped open. It had startled Riku and he stopped his ministrations. Sora peered around the room then his eyes wide open. Sora jumped out of Riku's lap and at least a good few feet off the ground as well.
At the sudden action Demyx was stirred from his sleep, and Xaldin sat up to watch Sora. Everyone took note that Sora seemed on edge, as everyone scanned the area around them. There appeared to be nothing out of sorts.
The others watched as Sora paced around the room muttering under his breath, and glancing at the clock every so often. It was such odd behavior that even Riku was worried. That was until Sora stopped, and looked at Riku smiling.
"He's here." Sora said although his tone sounded excited rather than worried. The others looked at him confused. But Sora said nothing more on the matter.
"Whose here Sora?" Riku asked, it was weird seeing Sora acting this way almost erratically. It was an odd expression that sat on Sora's face.
"You'll see!" Sora called as he skipped to the front door. Everyone remained where they were watching as Sora opened the front door. In stepped a boy that looked similar to Sora. In fact they looked so similar they looked like brothers, but the boy had blonde hair and was paler in complexion compared to Sora.
"Sora." Greeted the other boy as he closed the door behind him. He held a bag that he dropped as he hugged Sora. It made a dull thud as it hit the wooden floor. Sora returned the embrace just as warmly.
"Roxas its good to see you. It's been ages. Come in I have guests." Sora grabbed Roxas bag dropping it in the hallway before dragging the poor boy to the living room.
"Guys this Roxas a friend of mine. Roxas this is Riku my lover, Zexion, Demyx, Axel, Xaldin, Leon, Cloud and Yuffie." Sora finished grinning hugely. Roxas bowed politely in greeting.
"Your lover is a vampire?" Roxas asked, although, it was more of a statement. The elders tensed as they looked over at Roxas again. His face was composed and for the most part he looked exhausted.
"He's a slayer." Riku pointed out, although he too sounded as if he too were unbothered by the fact. The elders glanced between Riku and Roxas for a short while, the air tense with anticipation. Riku approached Roxas slowly and extended his hand in greeting.
"Roxas it is nice to meet you." Riku ever the gentleman said smoothly. Roxas shook Riku's hand, and smiled briefly. Axel who had been watching the scene in silence was struck dumb as the blonde smiled. The slayer was obviously attractive, but even more so when he smiled.
Axel found that he was smitten with the blonde slayer. Suddenly, Axel sensed someone watching him, and he turned to stare into the amused blue eyes of Sora. Axel turned his head away embarrassed at being caught starring, but not before he saw Sora smirk. Axel felt as Sora's stare burned into him.
"Yep. And you're the vampire Sora has been looking for. I remember him telling me about you. I admit when he told me you where beautiful I thought he was exaggerating, your quite stunning. No wonder Ansem picked you." Riku smiled amused with the obvious bluntness of Roxas.
"You're doing it again Roxas." Sora called from the kitchen, he disappeared to earlier after leaving the rather embarrassed Axel alone to contemplate his situation. He returned with a glass of water and a plate of food in the other. Sora handed it to Roxas who took it gratefully.
"I told you it's a habit." Roxas plopped down on the floor next to Axel unfazed by the obvious fact he was a vampire. Axel attempted to avoid starring into Sora's knowing eyes and watching Roxas to closely. Meanwhile, Roxas greedily took a bite of his sandwich.
"Don't you care-" Axel started.
"That you're a vampire. No not really." Roxas went back to eating. Sora's grin was now permanently etched into his face as he watched the other elders shift uncomfortably in the presence of the slayer.
"You would think, that having six vampires in one room would bother you." Xaldin said from the couch. Roxas once again shrugged.
"If you here with Sora, who never has guests over I can only assume your good. If that makes any sense at all." Roxas wrinkled his nose at his explanation before continuing.
"Although at one time it would have bothered me, but since I met Sora a few years ago nothing really bothers me." Roxas finished and Sora swept up the dirty dishes taking them back to the kitchen.
"Is this why you have food in your house Sora?" Cloud asked as he stretched his tired and sore muscles. Sora nodded as he walked back into the room. He chuckled to himself as he took in the scene around him.
"Exactly. Roxas drops by often, although he's never here longer than a day, kinda like a stray that comes and goes as he pleases." Sora took his spot back in Riku's lap who welcomed his warmly.
"Did you seriously compare me to a stray animal?" Roxas asked from his spot on the floor. Sora chuckled as he pulled away from Riku as he watched as Roxas prepared to pounce on him.
"Because you are. You do as you please, say as you please and you're never around when I need you. Not to mention you look and smell like a stray!" Sora yelped as Roxas pounced on him sending both of them to the floor in a tangled mess of limbs.
The others watched unsure of what to do, as Sora and Roxas wrestled on the floor giggling as they went. Sora easily gained the upper hand, and ended up pinning the blonde slayer under him. Roxas pouted underneath him breathing hard from the play, while Sora beamed down at Roxas sitting proudly atop of him.
Suddenly, Roxas found Sora being lifted quickly off of him, and found he was once again able to move. Sora yelped as Riku swiftly walked back to the couch he had previously occupied, Sora now securely sitting between his legs. It was Sora's turn to pout while the others laughed at his predicament.
"Possessive much?" Yuffie questioned. Riku turned his aquamarine eyes from the brunette vampire between his legs to Yuffie. The look in Riku's eyes was more than enough and no more said on the subject.
"Actually I wanted to know if I could ask you a favor?" Roxas asked his head cocked to the side acting as though nothing had taken place. Riku noted the blonde slayer must have spent a lot of time with Sora. He was catching his habits.
"Sure what is it?" Sora responded trying to ignore Riku's wandering hands.
"Well I'm low on cash, and I was wondering if I could stay with you while I take a job in town. With all the traveling I do its almost impossible to save money." Roxas scratched his head.
"Of course, although, Riku and his friends will be joining us, not to mention mine. You know Roxas if you really needed the money I could just give you some. Then you wouldn't have to work. After all, I have more than enough." Sora said. Roxas smiled
and rubbed his eyes in exhaustion.
"The more the merrier." Roxas mumbled standing up. "But you know Sora I can't always depend upon you for help in the financial department. I have to be able to stand on my own to feet eventually, but thank you I mean it."
"You're probably the only real friend and family I have now Sora. That means a lot to me, to have you there to catch me if I fall. Well enough of that I'm off to bed it was nice to meet you. I'll see you all in the morning." Roxas walked out of the room as the others wished him a good night. Sora stared after him silently smiling.
Once out of ear shot Sora laughed. Riku raised and eyebrow at his lover's fit of hysterics. "What's so funny?" Riku questioned wrapping his arms around Sora's waist.
"I bought Roxas black satin sheets for his bed. He hates it when I buy him stuff, but I saw him admiring it at a store once, and I was compelled to buy them for him." Sora shrugged leaning into Riku.
"For a vampire you have a big heart." Zexion commented for the first time showing any interest in the conversation.
"SORA!" The others joined Sora in laughing as an outraged yell came from upstairs.
"He does. Maybe be a little too much." Yuffie added as everyone calmed down. Sora shrugged.
"Well I think it's about time we all go to bed. It's been one hell of a day." Xaldin sat up on the couch lazily.
"Take any room you want, just not the first door on the right on the second floor. That's Roxas' room if you walk in there now I am not responsible if you die." Sora said dragging Riku upstairs to his room.
"The morning is going to be interesting." Riku said as he closed Sora's door. Sora who was already in bed patted the empty space next to him and Riku joined him under the fluffy covers. He kissed Sora wrapping his arms around Sora.
"Did me being on top of Roxas make you jealous?" Sora asked amused as Riku frowned at him.
(THIS IS A LEMON WARNING)
"Yes it does. Not to mention I think you'd make a better bottom." Riku quickly flipped over Sora pinning him to the bed underneath him. Sora's eyes darkened, as Riku claimed his lips in a desperate kiss for contact.
"Keep this up and no ones going to go to sleep anytime soon." Sora said as Riku attacked his neck with feather light kisses.
"I don't plan stop now." Riku mumbled out as he slowly lowered himself down Sora's body. His skilled hands unbuttoning Sora's nightshirt as he went.
"I see." Sora moaned out softly, he felt as Riku smirked against his skin. Riku stopped briefly as he removed his shirt. The he made quick work of Sora's shirt, Sora's bottoms following soon after.
"I wonder how quite you can stay?" Riku asked as Sora urged him on with his eyes. Riku gripped Sora's hardening member stroking it as he flicked his tongue out taste Sora's flesh. Sora moaned softly and Riku was only urged on.
"God…Riku!" Sora's tried to keep from crying out his voice barley louder than a whisper. Riku took Sora's head into his mouth his tongue swirling around the tip teasing it. Sora's hand gripped Riku's hair tightly.
Riku began to take more of Sora's length into his mouth sucking as he deep throated him. The string of moans and curse words that Sora whimpered were beginning to drive Riku mad with need.
Riku stopped suddenly and Sora's eye opened in confusion his eyes dark in need. "Why Riku? I'm so close!" Sora whined, and Riku chuckled.
"Now, now. I can't have you coming before I'm done can I?" Sora shivered as Riku's hand traced the inside of Sora's thigh. Riku claimed Sora's lips once again, his hands wandering over Sora's chest.
"Lube?" Riku asked gently. Sora pointed to the nightstand beside them and Riku returned quickly rubbing the slick liquid over three fingers. Sora relaxed as Riku pushed in one digit quickly adding the other. Riku took time to scissor his fingers within Sora stretching him.
"Riku it feels good." Sora moaned as he pushed himself down on Riku's fingers. Riku took this as a sign and added a third finger. Sora moaned in pleasure as Riku slowly moved his fingers in and out of Sora.
"Are you ready?" Riku asked his lover as he continued to torture him. Sora grabbed Riku's hair roughly, smashing their lips together in a passionate kiss.
"Fuck yes!" Sora whispered hoarsely. In an instant Riku pulled his fingers out of Sora before he thrust fully into Sora in one quick movement.
"Ah!" Sora muffled his cry of pleasure and pain biting his hand. It didn't take long for Sora to adjust to Riku. "Move!" Sora barked out. Riku obeyed, slowly pulled out and thrust back into Sora strongly.
They moved steadily together, Sora gripped Riku's shoulders as he pushed back against Riku with each thrust. Then a loud moan threatened to escape past Sora's restraint, he bit down his lip causing it to bleed as he arched his back.
Riku had hit the spot deep inside him that had him flying. Riku thrust with more force into that same spot as Sora's moans filled the air. Sora's nails clawing into Riku's back, leaving a trail of blood against his pale skin.
Sora threw is head back in a silent scream as he climaxed, clenching tightly down on Riku, his seed spilling onto his and Riku's stomach. Riku unable to hold back released into Sora's warmth, thrusting until he came down from his orgasm.
"Better?" Sora mumbled out underneath Riku. Riku smiled tiredly down at Sora, pulling out of him and slowly moving the brunette vampire against him.
"Much." Riku nuzzled the skin between Sora's neck and shoulder before sinking his fangs into the soft flesh, Sora gasped as Riku licked the two holes he left. "Mine."
"Yours." Sora said softly sleep pulling at his consciousness.
"Night love."
"Night Riku." Sleep embraced them warmly.

(YOU CAN LOOK NOW)
For some it felt as though morning had come to quickly. The humans of the house were welcomed to the dinning room by a large breakfast. They wasted no time in serving themselves. The elders of the house joined them at the table, more to be polite than anything.
The only ones missing were Riku, Sora and Roxas. Although as informed by Axel who was one of the first up Roxas had already eaten and had joined Sora somewhere in the mansion.
"Has anyone seen Sora?" Asked Riku as he came down the stairs his wet haired tied back, he wore a simple black tank top with faded blue jeans.
"He's with Roxas that's about all I know." Leon answered as he pored himself more coffee. Riku nodded and joined the others at the table, stretching as he took a seat next to Cloud who was busy stuffing his face. Riku wrinkled his nose before turning to Zexion.
"I never did get to ask Sora where exactly the mansion of his was. I took a look out the window this morning and nothing looks familiar." Zexion said calmly as he placed his book down on the table.
"Does anybody know were we might be?" Riku asked the three on his left. Yuffie, and Cloud shook their head. Leon shrugged.
"Your guess is as good as mine. But we can find out real fast if we just ask the owner. I'm sure he'll have answers." Leon finished his coffee, rising to his feet waiting for the others to join him.
"That works. Now who know where we can find the spiky haired paired?" Once again Riku found that there were blank stares. Riku rubbed his temples in annoyance. The silence stretched on as Riku thought of a way to some how fine the duo in this maze of mansion.
"I can take you! I saw Roxas go that way about an hour or so ago." Axel said a grin on his face pointing down the hallway. Riku cut his eyes at the fiery red haired vampire.
"Why didn't you say so in the first place?" Zexion asked in monotone, although the only eye that could be seen was twitching in annoyance.
"Because…" Axel then took off down the hall way the others in pursuit, he was sure they were going to skin him alive this time. Axel ran down the flight of stairs nearly tripping, at the bottom when stopped abruptly.
The slayers who were right behind him slammed into him sending them sprawled onto the floor. The elders were quick enough to stop, stepping over the pile of bodies.
They looked at the room they had stumbled across. It appeared to be a training room of some kind with weapons littering the walls. In the center of the room there appeared to be a set up to look like a city setting, somewhere in the back allies.
There was a sudden clang of metal and sparks in the dim light of the room that brought the others back to reality. They searched for the source of the noise as their eyes landing on the spiky haired duo as their blades met once again.
They flew at each other Sora with his one blade and Roxas with his two. They were in dead lock before they jumped back from each other several yards between them. Roxas smirked as he charged Sora his blades dragging behind him.
As Roxas attacked Sora easily dodged and blocked Roxas's strikes as he attacked first one and then the other. Sora was able to pin one blade to the ground, but Roxas managed to break the hold as he flipped to land on the other side of Sora.
It was Sora's turn to dodge as Roxas attacked from behind, Sora managed to jump to evade the attack but was struck in the back by Roxas sending him ten feet into the air. Roxas jumped to meet Sora in the air but his attacked was blocked as Sora guarded from his position upside-down as he fell.
Sora was able to land right side up, as Roxas seemed to float in mid air before he came down yet again to attack with his two blades. Roxas spun as he attacked but Sora easily kept up as he blocked and dodged each strike. Sora went to guard as Roxas swung downward, but Sora was unable to break the attacks as Roxas continued his downward assault.
Sora fell to his knee and Roxas took the opportunity to knock Sora's blade from his hand, sending it clattering to the other side of the floor. Sora made a grab for his blade, but Roxas beat him there. It seemed at that moment Roxas had one the fight and the smile on his face said he thought he was the victor. At that moment Sora summoned his blade to his hand.
"What?" Roxas shouted out in surprise, Sora attacked with a single slash. Roxas dropped his blades, which disappeared as they clanged to the floor. Soon after he fell to his knees, Sora watched silently. Roxas slowly made his way to his feet before saying anything. (A cookie if you guess where this fight scene came from!)
"I can't believe you beat me again!" Roxas growled out, throwing his hands in the air as he did so. The others watched in utter amassment replaying the fight they had just witnessed in their heads.
"That was awesome!" Yuffie cried at last. The two turned to face their audience before grinning an equally big smile.
"I'm impressed." The normally stoic Leon said, Cloud nodded from behind him. Roxas grabbed a glass of water that sat on a nearby table sitting tenderly on the ground.
"You almost had me Roxas. Its 93-2. Maybe next time I'll let you win." Sora sauntered over to Riku wrapping his arms around the taller vampires neck. Riku closed the space between them with a gentle kiss.
"Roxas, you actually beat Sora twice? I fought him for real the other night and he totally kicked my ass." Demyx clung to Zexion's arm, the silent vampire only looked down at the blonde, his expression unreadable.
"Yep, but those times I always had the advantage, even then I barley won. Sora is no easy match." Roxas wiped the sweat from his brow as he lay back on the cool floor.
"I'll admit you've got moves slayer, but I bet you can't beat me." Axel said a confident smirk on his face. The blonde slayer sat up one eyebrow rising at the challenge.
"What's that tattoo face?" Roxas replied as he stood facing Axel. Excitement danced in Roxas' eyes at the thought of a fight, and Axel's smirk turned into a grin.
"You heard me. How's about a match against me?" Axel summoned a flame to hand, his other hand beckoning to Roxas in a come-hither movement. Roxas jumped at the chance his duel keyblades at the ready as he charged the redheaded vampire.
"Okay, did I miss something or what?" Asked a confused Cloud. Sora laughed slightly and Riku looked at him curiously.
"I'll tell you later. Right now I don't want that pyro setting my house on fire, and since he's your friend I think you should stop him." Sora ordered Riku. Riku shrugged and with a single wave of his hand the two fighting were split apart and held in mid air.
"What the hell!" Roxas cursed as he flipped upside down in his attempts to break whatever spell held him. Axel lay on his side in mid air resting his head on one hand, looking not only bored but also frustrated.
"That's not fair Riku." Zexion joked, as a small smile broke through his normal blank expression. Demyx and Sora snickered silently behind their hand.
"Retards." Called Xaldin as he headed back upstairs to his room where he would remain until night. Leon, Cloud and Yuffie looked on in amazement as Roxas and Axel continued to float around the room.
"Are you doing this Riku?" Leon pointed at the pair as he looked to Riku and Sora. Riku nodded snapping his fingers releasing his hold on the two. Roxas landed lightly on his feet, while Axel landed ungracefully on his head.
A string of curses escaped Axel as he rubbed his head. "This is my special ability as a vampire. A slayers you should be aware that all vampires are telepathic, but on top of that some vampires can have an extra ability. For example I can move objects with my mind, telekinesis for short, while Axel has control over fire, Demyx controls water, and Zexion controls ice."
"These powers differ with the vampire, some may not have an extra bonus power. It's not just mental powers but physical as well, some might have superior strength or speed." Riku explained to the others. The slayers expressions told the vampires that they were not aware of this information previously.
"How come were just hearing this now?" Yuffie brow wrinkled in annoyance as she placed her hands on her hips.
"I thought you had heard this before." Sora shrugged brushing off the irritated glares his friends gave him.
"Does that mean you have another power?" Leon asked Sora accusingly. Sora paused for a moment thinking.
"Would it matter?" Sora quipped back. The three slayers looked stumped for a second.
"Yes it matters." Cloud finally answered for the group. Sora looked the three over deciding if he owed them an answer.
"I guess I owe you that much for lying to you for so long. Listen closely because my ability is hard to explain. Although all vampires are telepathic it's a limited ability. When I say limit I mean that vampires can only speak to other, and read other vampires thoughts, its does not work from vampires to humans."
"Following so far?" Sora asked, he received nods of confirmation and continued.
"In my case I have no limit." The elder's eyes widened slightly. "I can use my powers on both humans and vampires. Not only that, my power allows me almost total control over a persons mind. I can even go as far to break a mind. It's a handy power, but I don't use it much nor do I want too."
"What do you mean break Sora?" Riku asked his brunette lover his mind racing as he and the others absorbed the new information.
Sora looked solemn for a moment. " When I say break, I mean I can literally break someone's mind. It works in the same way you would apply pressure to a glass, eventually with enough pressure the glass will begin to crack. Should you apply even more pressure the glass will shatter."
"The mind is similar, with enough pressure I can shatter a mind. Breaking a mind causes the person to go completely mad, they will no longer be able to function, let alone think. But this ability also has a positive side to it, with each mind I break the stronger I get, and the stronger I can guard my own mind." Sora finished he was looking as his clenched fist, his nails digging in the palm of his hand.
He and the others watched silently as a drop of blood flowed from his closed hand to fall with a light tap to the floor. "That power must weigh heavy on your heart." Zexion whispered softly. Riku took Sora in his arms in a secure embrace. Nothing more was said on the subject.
How was that? Not too bad I hope, thanks for sticking with me! I'll have a new chapter up soon.
