I own no one here , so far we have Riku waking up in strange places, and a newly freed organization.
"We have no idea where Riku is." Axel spoke up.
"But...he was with us." Sora exclaimed.
"I am sure he is ok." Reassured Kairi. "Why are you here, are the others here?" She inquired.
"We all are, but confined to this castle,our solitary confinement ended a month ago. Axel informed them.
"Well they are awake I see." Came the voice of Vexen. "Good the next dose is ready."
"We are here due, to whomever guards this world." Zexion spoke up.
"Don't worry we cant harm you." Vexen spoke up.
"Hey princess, did not expect to see you again." Came the voice of Demyx.
"You!" Said Kairi with a smirk. "I remember you."
"Don't kill me." Demyx stuttered. "I am here to help honest, we are good now."
"I dont think so." Sora called summoning the keyblade, only to have it fall from his hand.
"I am afraid you are in no condition to fight." Vexen calmly spoke. "Now we can either inject the solution, or you can drink it."
"Wait you are helping?" Sora paused.
"We dont have much of an option." Kairi bravely spoke.
"We need to get you to take this quickly, before the toxin sets in again." Vexen spoke up. "I nearly lost both of you."
"Alright." Said Kairi, as Demyx, helped her sit upright.
Both of them drank silently, though the antitoxin had a rather bitter aftertaste. Sora was not convinced, but knew they were at a disadvantage here. He was a little discouraged, not knowing where Riku was. Kairi was a little concerned, but was doing her best not to show it.
"So do you want to go play some games?" Demyx spoke up. "Or at least have a tour of the place?"
"Did someone say games?" Came the Voice of Luxord.
"Not that kind." Zexion spoke up.
"I am tired of solitaire." Luxord spoke. "Tired of only these walls, no place to go."
At that moment a book appeared, it hovered over a table before settling down. The pages opened of their own accord, and showed the place they were in, a lake nearby, and a small town. There was a groaning sound, as the front doors of the castle opened.
"Looks like we can finally go outside." Axel said in awe.
"I forgot what outside looked like." Luxord spoke softly.
"How long have you been here?" Sora asked.
"Who knows, years, centuries,.." Demyx trailed off. "last thing we saw was this great bird, as we were traveled, then we were led here."
"We were led one by one to cells, later on floors all to ourselves." Axel sighed.
"I think this was meant to break you." Kairi spoke. "As well as to make up for your wrongs."
"It was a lovey trip though, we got to sleep under the stars." Luxord mused.
"But where is Riku?" Sora spoke, as the book again sifted pages.
"There, far away from here." Kairi spoke. "I can sense Ansem too."
"Great." Sora moaned. "We are in no shape to confront him, and neither is Riku."
"We can help." Said Demyx. "At least I hope we can."
"I dont think any of us, are allowed past the town." Zexion chimed in, pointing out a barrier, around the town.
"Well I hope he is ok." Sora sighed.
"Well till we are better, we appoint you our caretakers." Kairi offered.
"But...Kairi!" Sora Yelped.
"That is a deal." Axel mused, as the superior stepped in.
"Hello Sora," He smirked. "Long time no see."
Elsewhere Riku woke up, to see Ansem sitting in a chair next to his bed. Tying to sit up he found out he was strapped to the bed. They tugged at the restraints, they were locked in place, tightly.
"You were sleepwalking." Ansem mused. "You tired to get into her room, before you had a toxin relapse."
"You better not have hurt her." Riku spat.
At that moment a crash, followed by a moan of pain was heard.
"Well looks like she may have hurt herself." Ansem sighed, heading towards the room next door.
"Get away from me." Came a hissing voice.
"Look, you need to stay in bed." Ansem growled.
"I wont let you hurt him." His friend spat.
"I have not." Ansem countered, picking her up, and taking her to the room Riku was in.
"let go of me!" His friend protested.
"Settle down ." Called Riku. "You are in no shape to help."
"He does have a point." Ansem smirked. "I almost forgot, how much you fight."
With that he set her down in the hammock.
"How about something to eat?" He asked Riku, who glowered at the two of then.
"If you even think..." She answered as Ansem clamped her mouth shut.
"Yes thank you." Riku sighed.
"Before we do that, it is bath time." Ansem announced.
Riku turned red, no way in hell he was gonna let this monster bathe him. Ansem's minion was already drawing a bath, and approached his friend, he removed his hand.
"You said I would be out for this." She protested.
"Well I have changed my mind." Ansem smirked, I promise it wont be too painful.
Ansem pulled out a few vials of sorts. They took those back into the bath, and poured them into the tub. It was going to be painful, he returned to the his friend, his minion gathered her up, taking her to the bath. Ansem on the other hand, released Riku and scooped him up. Not long thereafter there were the sounds of muffled screams.
"Will she be ok?" Riku gasped.
"She will be fine." Ansem responded
"You sure?" Riku choked alarmed.
"Well this is the first time, she has had this done awake." Ansem answered. "Hopefully she will be more compliant, from here on out."
With that Riku was taken to the other bath, stripped down, then gently set in a warm tub. His bath was a short one, and he hated every moment of it. Swiftly he was toweled off, and moved back to bed in fresh clothes. His friend was carefully dried, and also put into some fresh clothes. She was still reeling, there was no way they were going to try that again, that was a stupid move, at least they knew exactly where they stood. Ansem removed the gag, and she let out soft moan, then nothing more. Gingerly he took her back to the room, setting her in the other guest bed. Everything hurt, they did not even want to move at this point.
"Good girl." He purred. "You are going to behave now?"
"..." Was the reply, as she lay with her eyes closed.
After that, Ansem brought some breakfast stuff in, scrambled eggs, toast, and some juice of sorts. Setting a tray down he let Riku eat, but he ate half halfheartedly wondering about his friend.
"Hey what about her.? " Riku asked.
"She might be to hurting to eat." Ansem chuckled."You can try if you want, don't say I did not warn you."
Riku took a plate, slowly walking over to the other bed, and sitting down.
"Hey there." He called softly.
She opened her eyes, almost looking past him.
"You should eat." Riku offered, lifting her head up, only to have her yelp.
"Don't touch me." She hissed."That hurts."
"She will be a little touch sensitive for a few hours." Said Ansem. "Do be gentle."
"Sorry." Riku answered. "Please eat something for my sake."
They eat, slowly, but eventually it proves to be too much, Riku has them drink some juice before they leave them be. This is not how he wanted things to be, hopefully they could escape soon. For now it was better to be compliant, for their own safety and well being. Their caretaker may be disarmed, but they were still dangerous to a degree. His friend was a fighter to the bitter end. He just hoped, this would not lead to some sort of punishment for the both of them.
