"Please let me go." Aerith pleaded.

"We're not going to hurt you." Xaldin grunted. "You're just a tool to draw Cloud out."

She gasped as she stared at the large man. "You leave him alone."

Xaldin arched a brow at her. "You don't give the orders around here."

"Besides," Xigbar started as he plucked up a chunk of her hair off her shoulder and began twisting it around his fingers. "your precious little boyfriend needs to face his fears. He can't hide behind you and Leon forever."

She looked at the one eyed man standing next to her. "What are you going to do to him?"

"He like you is just a tool to catch a bigger prize." Xaldin nodded.

Xigbar smirked. "We want Sephiroth."

She furrowed her brows as she stared at the one eyed man. "I don't understand."

Xaldin opened his mouth to tell her that it wasn't her business to understand when Axel walked into the room.

"Done." Axel smirked as he moved to stand next to Xaldin. "Leon knows she's here and it's only a matter of time before word gets back to Cloud."

"Perfect," Xaldin nodded. "and Lexaeus?"

"As far as I know he's getting word to Sephiroth that we have Cloud and if he wants him to come and get him." Axel shrugged.

"Not Cloud." Xigbar sighed in annoyance as he let go of the girl's hair. "Marly."

"Fine Marly then." Axel waved his hand through the air. "You know Lexaeus will do as you told him so if you said Marly then that's what he'll say."

Xaldin pinched the bridge of his nose. "I swear boy sometimes your stupidity astounds me."

"Low expectations." Axel nodded with a smirk. "Low expectations."

Saïx groaned deeply in pleasure as Luxord slowly rocked into him. He was getting really frustrated and he knew that Luxord knew this and was just torturing him because of it. "Stop it." He panted pathetically.

Luxord smirked down at him. "No; you must be punished."

Saïx grabbed Luxord by the hips and pulled him in closer. "I'm sorry." He didn't know what he was apologizing for but if it made Luxord stop torturing him then he would apologize until the day he died.

Luxord pulled his hands from his hips and locked them above his head. "Now you will be punished twice as much." He nodded curtly then pulled back so he was barely breaching Saïx's entrance.

Saïx squirmed beneath the Brit. Everything was so tight and hot that he thought for sure he was going to die if he didn't get some sort of relief soon.

"Now beg me." Luxord grinned darkly.

Saïx stared up at him not really processing what the man was saying. "What?"

"I said…" He trailed off, leaned down, and pressed his lips next to his ear. "Beg me to fuck you until you wish death would take you."

He tried to process what he was saying but the burning and the tightness within his body made any comprehensible thoughts impossible. So he opted for what he figured would be the right thing which was the most braze thing he could do… he took over.

With a hard jerk of his hands he broke free of Luxord's hold, flipped them over so he was straddling his hip, placed his hands upon his chest, and began to ride him fast and hard.

Luxord stared up at the boy atop him eyes wide and unbelieving as Saïx took himself to heaven. He was actually rather impressed at his power and that he was able to take control so quickly even if it was unacceptable behavior. However he figured he would give Saïx this one pleasure since no one knew for certain if he was going to live past noon the next day.

That thought settled like a ten ton weight on his shoulders as he stared up at the male writhing atop him. He placed his hands on his sides and sat up then slipped them around him tightly in a possessive manner. He'd be dammed if he was going to let that bastard Sephiroth take Saïx away from him. Saïx was his to keep and do with as he pleased and no one not even the king of New England was going to take that away from him.

"Marly?" Zexion stared at his lover, eyes glazed over, lips slightly swollen, and the tiniest hint of pink staining his cheeks.

Marluxia smirked. "I find it utterly amazing when you look at me like that." He gripped the sides of his face.

Zexion drew his brows slightly. "Like what?"

"Like there is nothing else in this world that matters to you but me."

"There isn't." He gave a barely noticeable shake of his head.

Marluxia grinned at that. "I believe Luxord's summation of you is correct."

"What did he say?" Zexion went on the defensive.

"That you're just a little too obsessed with me."

"What does he know?" Zexion growled. "He has the largest icicle in existence shoved straight up his ass. He doesn't know the difference between love and obsession anymore than he knows compassion from torture."

Marluxia arched a brow at that. "A little defensive are we?" He wrapped his arms around him and pressed him against his chest.

Zexion sighed in defeat, pressed his face against his chest, and breathed in deeply of his scent. "I can't help it that I love you that much."

"How touching."

Both males looked over to the large window in their bedroom and the being standing just inside with a gun pointed right at them. "Now lets try this again."

Marluxia tightened his hold on Zexion as he glared deadly at the man. "What do you want?"

Sephiroth grinned darkly. "You." He smirked as he drew closer to them. "Now," he put the gun to Zexion's head. "cooperate and your pretty little lover boy lives to see tomorrow."

"Marly." Zexion whispered fearfully against his chest.

"Fine" Marluxia growled. "What do you want me to do?"

Sephiroth smirked. "Tie him up and put him in the closet. Then you're coming with me." He grabbed the phone off the nightstand and jerked the cord from the base and the wall then threw them at the two males.

"It's okay." Marluxia whispered as he pulled Zexion from his chest and stood up.

"But." Zexion stared up at him eyes wide and filled with panic.

"Te sache en quoi poser." Marluxia whispered as quietly as possible but still loud enough for Zexion to hear him.

Zexion gave a barely noticeable nod of his head and put his hands behind his back. "What about the others?" He whispered to Marluxia.

"As long as you're quiet they won't know I'm here and everyone will be fine." Sephiroth threatened.

"Okay." Zexion nodded trying to stay calm though it was no easy feat especially knowing that Sephiroth was going to take Marluxia away.

"I'll be okay." Marluxia comforted with a kiss to his head before he put him in the closet.

Zexion nodded as he locked stares with his lover. They had gone through this scenario a hundred times just in case Luxord managed to piss someone off that was a real threat. Now here was the real thing and he was struggling to remember what he was supposed to do.

"Three twos, ten, three." Marluxia whispered.

Zexion nodded and began repeating the numbers back in his head. 'Two, two, one, ten, three.' He chanted mentally to make sure he stayed focused and didn't panic.

Two minutes to wait, two to get out, two to call Luxord, ten minutes to get everyone in the house in the car and to Luxord's, and three to explain to him what had happened. If everything worked out just right the kidnapper would only have a nineteen minute head start. Marluxia would stall as long as he could which he estimated to be about three to five minutes if he was lucky. So he could try to give a clue as to which way they went and hopefully bringing their head start down to twelve to thirteen minutes.

Everything was planned out to the last detail. There were secret panels in every closet to escape and all the doors were breakaway in case they were locked into a room. Not to mention there was a knife and gun in every room right down to the closest he was about to be locked in. He always thought it to be stupid that Marluxia and Luxord were so paranoid but here their paranoia was about to pay off.

Sephiroth pushed Marluxia out of the door and stared at the boy sitting on the floor. "Don't worry I'm not going to cause him much pain but I can assure you that you will never see him again." With that he slammed the door closed and put a chair under the knob to keep him from getting out.

Zexion sat in the darkness of the closet counting, listening, and trying with all his might not to worry. He was thankful that Marluxia was the one to tie him up as it was as simple as pulling the loose end Marluxia tucked into his palm and he was free. He felt around the closest floor for the secret compartment until his fingers felt the small indentation in the carpet.

Pulling the carpet it let loose with a small tearing sound form the velcro holding it down. He pulled the hatch open, reached in grabbed the gun and knife then went about feeling out the location of the secret door that would lead him into the closet in Naminé's room.

As quietly as possible he slipped out of the closet and made for her bedroom door; pressing his ear to it in order to see if he could hear anything or not. When he didn't hear anything he cracked her door open and peeked down the hall to make sure there was no one there before he opened it completely and tip toed to the top of the stairs.

He laid down onto the floor and peeked into the living room and spotted Sephiroth pushing Marluxia towards the kitchen. As quickly and as quietly as possible he made his way down the steps being sure to skip over the fifth step that creaked and made his way to the kitchen to see if Sephiroth would slip and tell Marluxia where they were going.

In a sense he got a lucky break but wherever Sephiroth was calling 'my place' could be just about anywhere. Maybe he should just barge into the kitchen and shoot the bastard. No he wasn't a very good shot and he certainly did not want to risk shooting Marluxia on accident. Oh how he wished Lexaeus was still there but the man left in order to catch Sephiroth and now here he was kidnapping Marluxia.

It would be better to get to Luxord's and let him handle it and before he knew it Marluxia would be back at home where he belonged. He backed out of the kitchen door and quickly and quietly made his way to Marluxia's study to call Luxord and watch to see what car they would be in and which way they would go.

Luxord paid no mind to the ringing phone as he was too busy sucking and licking upon Saïx's heated flesh as he continued to ride him. That was until the phone stopped ringing after two rings and began ringing almost immediately again. He stopped what he was doing, reached over, grabbed the phone, and growled into it. "What happened?!" He wrapped his arm around Saïx to stop him.

"When?" He questioned after a few seconds of eerie silence.

Saïx stared at the blonde on the phone in a rather bewildered manner. His mind was so lost in his pleasure that he was struggling to comprehend what was going on.

"Alright get over here and I will take care of the rest." He slammed the phone down, picked Saïx up like he weighed nothing, moved him to the other side of the bed, jumped up, and began dressing himself as quickly as possible. "Get dressed and meet me in my office." He growled before he stormed out of the room while buttoning up his shirt.

Saïx sat there for a moment trying to process what was going on before he slipped out of bed and began picking up his clothes from the floor and slipping them on. Once dressed after a detour to his room for a new shirt he made his way to Luxord's office and found him on the phone to Lexaeus.

"NOW!" He bellowed then slammed the phone down. He looked up at the flustered male that just walked into the room and at any other moment in time would have smirked at the vision he made. However with Marluxia being kidnapped by Sephiroth there was no time for pleasantries. "Zexion is on his way over here. You are to stay here with him and answer the phone."

Saïx made his way over to the desk with brows drawn deeply. "What's going on?"

Luxord sighed deeply. "Sephiroth has kidnapped Marluxia I'm going to get Lexaeus and Axel and get him back. Should Sephiroth or Marluxia call you are to…" He trailed off when the phone began to ring. "What?!"

"Ahh… La Vache is that anyway to answer your phone?"

Luxord narrowed his eyes to deadly little slits. "I don't have time for you." He growled. "Everything you own will be mine." With that he slammed the phone down and glared deadly at the blue haired boy before him. "If your brother decides to call back you will not waste your time talking to him. Do you understand me?"

Saïx nodded slowly.

"Good; we have enough problems right now without having to deal with your brother. He lost and he knows it. I'm warning you now do not meddle in this or you have nothing to look forward to but a nice long stay in Sanctuary. Are we clear?" He questioned threateningly.

"Yes." Saïx again nodded.

"Now should Marluxia or Sephiroth call you are to get as much information as possible and call me right away. Listen for any noises in the background that would give away their location."

"Okay."

"Zexion should be here in the next few minutes and you're to make sure he's as comfortable as possible and keep him from doing anything…" He trailed off as he stared at him and narrowed his eyes to deadly little slits. "From doing anything YOU would do and call Vexen and see if he has found a cure for whatever that bastard did to you. Can you handle that?"

"I can." Saïx growled back. "The more time you spend standing here telling me what to and not to do the longer it's going to take to catch up with them. Now go."

Luxord stared at him for a moment then nodded, grabbed him by the shirt, and pulled him in close. "And once this is done and taken care of we're going to finish where we left off." With that he leaned in and powered his tongue into his mouth making sure to remind him who his master really was.

Saïx pushed him away and glowered at him. "Just go and quit wasting your time here with me."

Luxord gave a curt nod, grabbed his keys off his desk, and made for the door then tuned and stared at him. "Once Zexion gets here tell him he is to secure the house he'll know what to do." Then he turned and was gone.

Saïx sighed deeply then looked down at the suddenly ringing phone. He suspected who it was and tentatively picked it up. "Hello?"

"Saïx? I thought Sephiroth had you."

"He did but Luxord saved me." He growled. "Now leave me alone."

"Now now that's no way to talk to your brother."

"Brother?" He hissed. "Some brother! You marred me for no other reason than to mock your enemy then you sent me as a gift to that same enemy. I'd rather call a dead dog my brother than you."

"You must understand I had no choice…"

"Save it." He bit out cutting him off. "You did have a choice and you made the wrong one. Everything you own is now mine and I have given it all to Luxord by my own free choice. Our people will be better off living under his rule than yours. Don't ever call here again and forget that we were related because I have." With that he slammed the phone down yet at the same time it hurt hurt to turn his back on his brother like that. As much as Xemnas wronged him they were still flesh and blood and now he had no family left except for his grandfather in Russia.

He plopped down onto the chair and sighed. "Luxord is all I have left."

"Not exactly."

He looked over to the door at the sound of Zexion's voice. "Luxord said you're to secure the place."

Zexion nodded, walked over to him with two boys following behind him and a baby in his arms. "Here hold her while I take care of everything then you can tell me what just happened."

Saïx took the baby and stared at the little girl with her blonde hair and sliverish/blue eyes staring up at him. "Hmm… she looks like Luxord." He said thoughtfully to himself.

"What?" Zexion looked over his shoulder at him.

Saïx shook his head. "Nothing."

Zexion nodded and made to leave the room then stopped at the door. "Oh and that's Demyx and Roxas and that's Saïx." He introduced then left the room with the two boys staring at the blue haired man holding the baby.
