Because of You

Thoughts

Chapter 19:

Joel P.O.V.

"Have you seen Sora?"

"No, I haven't. Sorry, Joel-kun."

Where is he?

The end of the school bell had just rung for the day and since I was riding with Kira, I thought I could find Sora. Ever since that night that man came and spoke to him, Sora's been acting...

Fishy.

"Damn it Sora, where are you?"

"Joel, I didn't know you'd cuss in public."

I turned around to see my boyfriend, Kira walking towards me with a smirk and I only glared at him playfully. He leaned down to give me a quick kiss and wrapped his arm around my waist while I continued to look around for the brunette.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Sora. I have to talk to him."

"Oh, well uh, you just missed him. He went home with Riku as soon as the bell rung." Kira replied and I turned and gave him a look that said 'you got to be fucking kidding me' but he wasn't lying.

I sighed in defeat and before looking at the clock. " Guess we better go then, huh?"

"Yeah." Kira said as we started to walk down the hallway when we heard some voices in a room.

"Why are did you want to talk to me, anyways?"

Kira shrugged, "Just wanted to get to know you better. Is that a crime?"

"No, it's not but I barely know you and I DONT want to know you-"

Suddenly, the sound of stuff falling was heard and some thumps. Kira and I looked at one another before rushing into the room, Kira opened the door and what we saw was...very interesting per say.

Kentaro, the cold-hearted guy, was underneath a REALLY HOT black-haired guy who so happened to be on all fours above Kentaro. Hey, I know Kira's my boyfriend, but the man was hot.

Both males on the floor until Kentaro noticed us and growled loudly before shoving the hot guy off, who stood up on his feet and offered a hand to Kentaro. However, the brown-haired youth only pushed it aside and stood up before grabbing his book bag and walked past Kira and me.

When he walked by me, he glared down at me coldly before he disappeared and walked wherever he was going to next.

The black-haired man with surprising red eyes turned and looked at the two of us with a nervous look on his face.

"It's not what it looks like." He said to us with a look of forgiveness on his face but Kira smirked and nodded.

"Uh-huh. Sure."

"We won't tell anyone unless you tell us your name." I spoke up and Kira looked down at me with slight shock, but the man before us only smiled in relief and bowed slightly.

"My name's Vincent. I'm a new teacher this year."

"Oh, I'm definitely having you for my teacher-"

"Okay Joel, let's go." Kira said with a pissed off look in his eyes before he grabbed my hand and started pulling me out of the room.

But I held back a little so I could wave to Mr. Vincent.

"Bye Mr. Vincent!" I said back and I watched him smile and wave back before my strong boyfriend, who glared at me slightly, pulled me away.

Once we were in the parking lot at Kira's car, he looked up at me with slight anger in his eyes. All I did was blink at him with confusion, tilting my head to the side.

"What?"

Suddenly, I was pinned against the car, Kira's strong hands holding my wrist while ravishing my mouth with his own. Shocked, yes. Turned on. HELL YES. I closed my eyes; lost in the fiery passion Kira was giving me. His free hand slipped under my shirt, stroking my sides with gentle fingers as I gasped at the touches of Kira.

He seemed very amused about this before leaning down, nibbling my neck hungrily, and then pinching one of my nipples when his hand traveled up.

I moaned loudly, a blush settled on my cheek as I arched up to get more of his touch. We never really went this far in our relationship, but I'm glad we're starting to discover it. As hard as it is for me to say, I think me and Kira, and Sachano and Irin, are the only people who haven't really made love yet.

Then, the entire stroking stop and the warms lips that were on my neck started to move away. I whimpered at the loss, pouting and begging Kira to not stop. However, Kira looked me up and down with lust filled gray eyes before kissing my lips once more, but gentle and kind.

I kissed back softly, moaning softly at the sensations that we in me, before Kira broke the kiss and smiled down at me.

"I better get you back home. Don't want someone finding us like this in the school parking lot."

I pouted even more when Kira let go of my wrist and moved off of me so he could open the passenger door for me. Quickly, I straightened out my clothes before getting in the car, Kira closing the door behind me and jogged over to the drivers seat.

Soon afterward, we pulled up to my house, surprising to see Sachano and Irin sitting on my porch. When Kira and me got out, I walked over towards the unique, yet hilarious couple, which looked up at me.

"Hey guys, what's up?" I asked with a smile, glad that they were here while Kira walked over and stood next to me.

Irin sighed and stood up, dusting himself off before looking up at Kira and I. "We heard that Sephiroth might be planning something again. But this time, more serious then the last." Irin replied with a serious face, my smile turned to a frown and Kira turned around, away from us and growled.

"You got to be fucking kidding me! I thought we were finally finished with Sephiroth!"

Sachano shook his head and stood up as well to stand beside Irin. "Well, you and Joel were involved as well. You both helped Riku and them rescue Cloud and Kairi, therefore it involves you too. Seems to me that Sephiroth will stop at nothing, to get Cloud back."

Sinking all this is, I sighed heavily before walking past the two and towards my front door.

"Let's talk inside. We don't want the neighbors getting suspicious or anything."

Everyone soon agreed, and we all walked in my house, getting warm and continued to discuss about Sephiroth and maybe a small plan to help Riku and the others.

BECAUSE OF YOU

Sora P.O.V.

(Lyrics)

Turn the lights off I n the place

And she shines just like a star

And I swear I know her face

I just don't know who you are

"Riku…ah…why are you so demanding today-ah!"

"Maybe I want to punish you Sora. Isn't that how things roll now?"

"N-Not like t-this-ah!"

Is it strange to suddenly have hot, rough sex with your boyfriend? Mm, maybe unless he's not telling you something you don't know.

Riku's thrusts started to speed up as he pounded into me, hitting my prostate every time. I moaned louder, and louder with each thrusts, arching to meet them, wanting Riku deeper into me. While this happened, I sneaked in between our naked bodies to grab my member, but another hand smacked mine away, Riku growling at me.

"I don't think so my little angel. Only I can give you pleasure, understand? And for that, I'm going to make you regret it." Riku's husky, lust-filled voice whispered in my ear and started slowing down his thrusts and purposely missing the sweet spot.

And I just can't pull myself away

Under her spell I can't break

I just can't stop

And I just can't bring myself no way

But I don't want to escape

I just can't stop

I whimpered at the sudden lost, pulling him closer with my legs around his waist, trying to make him go faster again.

"Please Riku! I need…ah…to come-ah!"

"Beg for it, Sora." He told me softly, reaching down to grab my hard on, starting to jerk it slowly with his thrusts.

"P-Please…"

"Please what Sora? You got to be more specific then that?"

"Please Riku fuck me, make me come, just do it now!" I begged and moaned, arching into Riku's hand and staring into Riku's eyes with my own lust filled ones.

Soon as I said those words, we continued to make love. Moans, grunts and cries filled the air as we finally reached our climax. I laid back on the bed, panting heavily and staring up at the ceiling while Riku pulled out of me and rolled on the other side, laying on his back as well.

And I just can't pull myself away

Under her spell I can't break

I just can't stop

And I just can't bring myself no way

But I don't want to escape

I just can't stop

"Riku…"

"Mm?"

"We'll always be together, won't we?"

I heard the bed moved and I turned my head to see Riku sit up on his elbow, looking down at me with shock yet a calm look. I blushed at this and looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed that I asked such a question when I obviously knew the answer.

Then, I felt a pair of soft lips on my neck, giving it a gentle kiss before trailing up to my face.

"I will always be here for you Sora. You know that right?" Riku spoke gently to me, snaking an arm around my naked waist while nuzzling his nose against my neck.

I chuckled at this and shifted so I was facing Riku. Leaning up to kiss my lover on the lips, I smiled shyly and nodded.

"I know. I just needed to hear you say it."

And I just can't pull myself away

Under her spell I can't break

I just can't stop

(A/N: Song: "Closer" by Ne-Yo)

"And if you had told me about my father earlier, I wouldn't haven't fucked you like an any animal." Riku added with a huge smirk on his face.

I blushed extremely red and pushed him playfully, pouting while doing so.

"First off, we made love and second, how was I suppose to tell you? I know you're very sensitive when it comes to your father and I don't want to hurt you because of what happened. I just want to see you happy, Riku." I laid my head on his chest, tangling my legs with Riku's.

Riku smiled down at me, resting his head on top of mine and pulling me closer to him. His arms tightened around me protectively, making me smile even more as I closed my eyes.

Riku…I know you'll protect me. I believe in you. There's no other person I'd rather be then with you. I love you so much…I love you, my dear Riku…my knight…

Suddenly, the sound of the phone rang throughout the house. Riku looked at the phone and growled angrily, pulling me close to him, giving me a good scent of his smell. I chuckled at his reaction and anger on the phone, but I knew we had to answer it.

"I got to answer the phone, Riku." I said to him with a gentle smile, but Riku only pulled me closer.

"No." Riku muttered; his voice portraying how he truly disliked the annoying phone.

"But Riku-"

"The phone is evil."

I rolled my eyes playfully. "The phone is not evil, Riku. It's a machine-"

"A machine that likes to ruin a perfect couple's moment-"

BEEP!

Both of us stopped talking to listen to the answer machine.

"Hey guys, it's Axel here-"

"Oh for the love of God." Riku muttered and I elbowed him in the stomach playfully, before listening to the message.

"And I know I probably ruined that moment that happens right after sex and trust me, it's not the first time I've heard Sora scream that loud-"

"That fucking bastard!" Riku scrambled out of bed and rushed to the phone, picking it up and putting it on speakerphone.

"Axel! You have better not touch Sora, so help me God! I will go after Roxas! And don't think I won't do it!" Riku threaten through the phone and I shook my head at his words.

"Haha. I'm kidding! Calm down! Though Sora is very cute, I don't have to strength to even cheat on Roxas. Besides, Roxas is better in bed than Sora."

Riku raised an eyebrow at the speakerphone. "Is that a challenge?"

"Oh hell no!" I said loudly, getting out of the bed, not caring if I was naked and stood beside Riku.

"If you dare make a bet, I will tell Roxas what you did yesterday to that poor boy at the festival!" I said loud and clear to Axel, hearing a horrific gasp from the redhead.

"You wouldn't!"

I crossed my arms proudly and a large smirk spread across my face. "Try me."

Riku raised an eyebrow with a amused grin on his face at me, "Sora, I didn't know you could be so evil. Why don't you do that when we're in bed?"

I let out a sigh and smirked back. "Because every time I do, you manage to fuck me either way."

"Good point."

"OKAY! I don't need to hear or learn all that! Anyway, we need you guys to come over to my house. Roxas is here too and…oh God I think he heard everything."

"Axel! I can't believe you would make a bet on whose better in bed!"

"Roxy, I'm sorry! We were just kidding!"

"We were? I thought it was serious." Riku corrected with a sly smirk and I shoved him a little, glaring at him.

"Sora, Riku, just comes over when you get ready. It's about Sephiroth. And Riku, when I'm done with Axel, I am coming after you next! And don't think Sora won't mind either!"

"Help Riku-"

BEEP!

I turned to look at Riku and glare at him half-heartedly. My platinum-haired lover only blinked at me and gave me an innocent smile.

"What did I do?" He asked me with that innocent smile before I shook my head and reached down to grab my boxers.

"I'm going to take a shower and when I'm done, we're going to talk."

"Talk about what? Sex? Cause I can talk about sex all day-"

"No you pervert! About betting with Axel!" I said back before walking in the bathroom and closing the door.

This is going to be a long day…

BECAUSE OF YOU

Sephiroth P.O.V.

"Sir, Jena wants to speak with you."

"Let her in."

As I sat in my desk chair, I looked up to see my door open and Jena walked in. Months since the incident with Riku and his clan, Jena never really showed her face to me. Now, she's here, in my presence, I wonder if she's even worthy.

"What brings you here, Jena?"

Jena seemed hesitant at first, but didn't seem afraid. She looked me in the eye, posture straight and alert.

"I…I wanted to apologize about the events that occurred months ago."

"And?" I suddenly added, raising a platinum eyebrow to the woman in front of me.

"I'm sorry that I let our hostages get away." Jena also said while reaching up to rub the back of her head, wincing when she did.

I studied her for a moment before standing up from my seat, and walking around my desk to stand in front of her. What I noticed was that Jena's appearance had changed. Instead of short, boyish hair, it grew longer; down to her mid back.

Those hazel eyes held more emotions such as fear, hope and yet anxious as to what would happen next now that I was in her presence. I couldn't help but smirk at this before reaching up to rest a hand on her cheek.

Jena tensed up for a moment, but soon started to relax. I caressed her cheek with my thumb before pulling it away and walked past her to look up at Masume hanging up on the wall. I stared at it for a while before speaking.

"I was very disappointed when I found out that you were unsuccessful, Jena. I thought that maybe I could trust you with my plan. Instead, you played with it, as if it didn't matter." I said while touching my sword with my fingers before pulling away.

Jena turned around to look at me with feared hazel eyes before looking down. Then, I turned to face the brunette with a serious look in my eyes.

"You have one last chance. If you do not succeed this time, I will disarm you and kill you myself." I warned her with a deadly glare while watching Jena.

At first, Jena seemed a bit shocked, but quickly shook it off and nodded. She bowed quickly before walking out of the room. Once she was out, someone else welcomed himself or herself in my office.

It was then that I realized it was Riku's father, Logan. Funny how Riku looked exactly like Logan, and yet they hated each other with pure passion.

With is why I will also use this as my advantage.

"All right, I did what you asked. Now give me the pass." Logan said harshly, hand held out to receive what I had promised, but I chuckled at his self-fish ways.

"The plan has yet to start and you want your reward so early? What makes you think I can give it to you just like that? There's much more than that my friend." I said to the man, who glared hard at me and growled under his breath.

"You want your lover back, do you not? Well, in order to get him back, you need Riku! I am the only person who seems to know about Riku and his colleagues so maybe you should treat me with more respect-"

I pinned Logan on the wall, my hand on his neck as I lifted him off the floor so we were eye level. He gasped for breath and tried to struggle out of my death grip, but I did not loosen it. I glared hard at the selfish man in front of me, a scowl on my face.

"Do you not know who I am? I can erase your life in a matter of seconds. I can even have you put to jail for threatening a CEO for wanting something much greater than you already has. Then again, the people beyond this office don't need to know what I do. I have my sword right behind me on that wall, and I will not hesitate to kill you right here and now. Do I make myself clear?" I said with the darkest voice I've ever had, my emerald eyes darkening with slight rage on how this man dared disrespect me.

When Logan nodded, I released my hold on his neck, watching the man slide down the wall and cough for air; rubbing his neck from my grip. After doing so, I walked to my chair and sat in it, not even sparing a glance on Logan.

"Bring me one of his friends and maybe, I will give you your reward. Fail to do so, and you shall be punished. Remember what I told you." I informed the silver-haired man, who stood up and looked at me before walking out of my office without another word to spare.

As I looked down at my papers, I let out an evil smirk. Profile pictures were laid across my desk, ones of the people who dared interfere with my plans. There names? That's easy.

Joel….Irin…Sora….Kairi…Roxas…And myabe Axel for that matter. They will be my targets. The only way to get the main source is to make it angry by taking its helpers. All I need is they, and I shall be victorious. And I will win you back Cloud. Make no mistake.
