Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, lucky Squaresoft (soon to be Enix Square) and Disney does. Wish I worked there...
A/N: Wee... Guess what!!? Me and my friend Maria-chan were discussing KH and I thought of the fact that Ansem's King in Hollow Bastion... yeah, and Kairi's the Princess of Hollow Bastion which means that he's Kairi's father O.o. well, at least that explains her scary laughter O.o... (Think 'beginning of the game after she cries "I'll race you!!" and Sora stares ahead, Riku stares at Sora and Kairi are laughing madly while running after them')
Anyway, please review, and thank you all who've been reviewing ^.^
Enjoy!
***********************************************************************
Sora stumbled to his knees, that last effort of fighting against the darkness and telling his friends to take Riku as far away from him as possible had taken too much of his strength. So here he was, back in the void of his mind.
"Riku was right... I don't have anything in my head..." he murmured softly as he rose back up on his feet. "Riku..." The name drifted out of his mouth before he could stop it. Riku really did mean alot more to him now then ever before... sure he liked Kairi, she were a nice girl, a friend, but Riku... was so much more, meant so much more... He was his best friend, his... soul-mate.
"Are you thinking of that weak hearted fool again, Key Master?" the dark male voice rang out from the darkness around him. 'This must have been what Riku went through...' Sora thought as he felt an ominous feeling from everywhere. Suddenly he felt a strong hand on his shoulder, forcing him to turn around.
"Well? Shouldn't you answer when a question is asked to you?" Sora looked up at the speaker, his gaze travel over the well developed muscles and dark skin, to the strange Heart symbol on his chest and further to the face and those delicate lips and fiery orange eyes.
"Ansem..." Sora stated coldly, the man smirked and ran his hand over Sora's collarbone to his face, cupping his chin, tilting Sora's head slightly up.
"What if I am? What will you do?" Sora asked, voice full of venom, his sky blue eyes glaring ice and slow painful death at the older man. none of it seemed to bother Ansem as his smirk widened.
"I will do as I did to your friend, would you like that as you're so fond of him?" Ansem answered with a tint of amusement in his voice.
"What did you do to Riku!?" Sora cried then, his eyes wide with anger and hate.
"Oh you'll see..." Ansem answered with a dangerous tone, his eyes glinting in the vast dark world of Sora's mind.
"That boy, Riku, was so easily manipulated, to think that the Keyblade was actually meant for /him/... Amusing isn't it? You," he poked Sora in the chest, "You were a really hard nut to crack. To think it would take almost a whole year... and you can still take control of your own body, I am impressed, Keybearer." Ansem had been moving closer to Sora, holding the sixteen year old close to his frame, his face inches away from Sora's.
"What are you doing!!?" Sora cry as Ansem start to kiss his cheeks and jawbone, continuing down the boy's neck.
"No... Ah... Ansem... STOP!!" he try desperately to get away draining a irritated growl from the older man, who tightens his hold on Sora painfully.
"I will make you enjoy it, just so you'll feel guilty... just like that boy... he sounded so lovely when he cried your name as he came..." Ansem mumbled absently as he removed his gloves and lightly trace his fingers over Sora's tan skin, draining soft gasps and moans from the boy.
"No don't... Please don't do this, I beg of you!!" Sora's formally defiant voice turned desperate, pleading with his whole being for Ansem to stop. And /that/ was the reaction Ansem had wanted out of Sora the whole time.
Carelessly he dropped Sora to the ground and stepped away, watching as Sora curled up into a tight ball, sobbing silently. oh, it would be so much more fun to break this boy then Riku ever were. 'Just the mere thought of the power I'll gain through you, Keybearer, makes me want to... take you right here. But that I can't do... I still need you sane to be able to control the Keyblade.' He thought and walked away leaving Sora in his confused state.
*****
Suddenly a feeling of utter hopelessness clenched at Riku's heart and he swayed dangerously with a pained gasp. This were so... familiar... and he just knew it was connected to Sora. Sora was hurt!?
"Riku!?" he could feel strong hands support him as he almost fell backwards in a faint attack but the steady hands kept him here, in this place.
"Are you all right?" the calm stoic voice of Clod drifted into his ear, he was leaning against the older man, his head resting on the other's right shoulder his head tilted to the left. He could smell the musk and pine scent from the handsome blond, and he could hear Cloud's heart inside that firm chest.
"I... I think I felt Sora..." the platinum haired boy answered and leaned against the safe embrace, he wanted to stay here, in this warmth.
Wait a minute! What about Sora? Was he really sitting here thinking about /staying/ with Cloud!?
Riku bolted upright the instant that thought registered, which he soon regretted doing as he slumped back down into Cloud's embrace, his head taking some sort of dance lesson that involved alot of spinning -_-;;.
"Oh, crap..." He whispered as the spinning sensation got worse. This was wrong! He shouldn't be here! At all!
"Lay still a while..."Cloud demanded with a soft, gentle voice. He smiled down at the young boy who reminded him so of /that man/. The one he had been looking for... Everyone thought he was looking for Aerith (a/n: Aeris!!), but actually, the was looking for /him/ this whole time.
Sephiroth.
Eve the name made him shudder. That man... Cold, heartless, insane, his greatest enemy /and/ Love. He had lost Sephiroth that time when he had defeated him, then he had sought comfort in the Un-dead man of their companions. Vincent were the reason he wore this cloak and the claw, as a reminder of his now dead lover.
*!!*
(A/n: (About FF7's Vincent Valentine) I /know/ that Vincent's not an vampire.. and the reason he's the way he is are because professor Hojo used his /dead/ body in an experiment after killing Vincent with a shoot to the heart, killing him instantly. He infused Vincent with Jenova cells and removed his arm and replaced it with a metal claw. That was at the time Sephiroth was still in Lucretcia's womb, /thirty years/ before the beginning of the game. The reason he's twenty-seven in the game is because of the fact that he was /killed/ at twenty-seven and has stayed in his young appearance ever since. That people doesn't realise this is really annoying... Vinne were /in love/ with Lucretcia, Sehpiroth's /mother/ the one who carried him... Sephiroth's not only seven or five or anything... only the insane fake Sephiroth that kills Aeris are five years... the real Sephiroth is in-caged in materia as we know, Cloud gives him the black materia after all... it's all in the game. Go look and see for yourselves. Enough rambling and on with the story... Sorry for this little note in the middle of things... I just had to say it... BTW, go read the 'I know what's beneath the Snowfields' fanfic... the link are able from my Elfwood fanart page, (the 'Homepage' link in my bio...) Anyway! On! On!)
*!!*
But both Sephiroth and Aerith had come back and been taken away from him again. But in exchange he had been given this miniature copy of Sephiroth to take care of and help in /his/ search for /his/ love.
It was just so annoying!
His grip on the boy tightened in his frustration and he wanted so badly to be in the arms of any of his three previous lovers... Especially Sephiroth, even though the man had been insane for the past six years. Cloud were just twisted that way. Vincent had been... amazing so to say. All that emotion pent up inside that un-dead man for thirty years really boosted his sex drive... but he shouldn't be thinking of any of this. Riku was in pain for sensing Sora, the Keybearer, and were still in his arms.
"Riku... I'll take you to a bed." He murmured softly and lifted the slim, but well defined body into the air, walking slowly down the corridor towards his own quarters. (a/n: The ship's huge, okay. Think Highwind a la FF7 times two ^.^)
Carefully Cloud placed the seventeen year old boy on his bed after ripping the covers off it. Riku looked up at him with a mixture of thanks and pain in his aqua eyes, it made Cloud frown with a deeper worry then before. Could they be loosing the Keybearer? If what Riku were feeling were right... then Sora was on the verge of loosing! He gently placed the sheets over Riku and gave him a smile. The miniature copy of Sephiroth gave him one back before falling fast asleep.
Cloud took a few more minutes to watch the sleeping beauty before he turned and left his room, making for the kitchen area.
On his way through a hallway Cloud were stopped by Squall, or Leon, as the man preferred himself.
"You're taking to much interest in the boy, you know that." Squall said coldly, glaring at him with arms crossed over his chest. Cloud only watched him without any change in his appearance.
"You know we are the only ones who know what happened to Sora, why he took Riku's darkness. You know that he knew the /whole/ time what were going to happen to him, that he could only contain those dark powers for so long." Squall continued his eyes darkening as he took a step forward, towards the blond swordsman . he grabbed a hold of the younger man's shoulders and looked long and deep into those mako blue eyes.
"You made him a promise... Train Riku, train him to be able to wield the Key to the Heart of Worlds /and/ the one he already wield, not seduce the boy. If it's not intentionally then stop seeing him, keep away from him. We need him strong and focused not confused because of mixed feelings!" Squall looked into those strange blue eyes and shrugged. This man was to weird for even him.
"I understand." Cloud stated dryly, before stepping out of Squall's grasp. He never did like that man. he was... uneasy around him. That man seemed to just wait to blow up like a ticking time-bomb. It was really unnerving.
Could he keep that..? to stay away from the lovely... copy of young Sephiroth? Mentally he kicked himself wanting nothing more then to just be dead... Just like Aerith and Vincent. Sephiroth on the other hand had he not seen since their showdown in the Coliseum (a/n: KH Final Mix.), and the just knew that his other half were still alive.
"Damn it!"
To Be Continued...
Woo... I'm getting into this ^.^, there will be a little Cloud X Riku too O.o. I'd just love to see them together ^.^... Oh and the Final Mix info... I have /not/ played FM but I've read the walkthrough, and a 'Final Mix Specials' that held translations of Cloud and Sephiroth's conversation and the Special Secret, Another Side... Another Story... [Deep Dive] teaser story ^.^ sooo cool.. ^^
Oh yeah... I'm pretty pissed at Konami at the moment as I just heard (and got it confirmed) that Genso Suikoden III won't ever make it to Europe. 'Too much work with converting it to PAL' Grrr, I've waited for that game for /three/ fucking years!! Now I have to get another PS2 and put a multi-X chip in so I can buy it from the US _ Grrr but the chip means I can by Xenosaga too and KH Final Mix even though it's in Japanese, to chip your PSX/PS2 is like getting a region-free DVD ^.^ Rea~~lly nifty ^.^, anyway enough ranting, please review, you're all my gods and goddesses ^.^. I pray to you every night ^.^
So let's get at least thirty reviews on this okay ^^ so review /every/ time you read this ^.^.
