Whoa! Did I die or somethin' 'cos' I haven't been here for a while! I
apologise to you all *bows*
ONTO THE CHAPTER!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Where am I? Am I...awake? Or am I...is it? Is it for real, or not?'
Sora opened his eyes and peered through the darkness "wha...where am I?" He looked around, through the shadows; he could see candles emitting a soft glow before they flickered out as soft wind swept the room, making Sora shiver and pull his knees under his chin. As he looked down he realised he was sitting in a large circular bed "seriously where am I?" He took another look around and gave a small nervous laugh. "M...maybe those guys gave me my own room...yeah that's it m...my own room, heh. I mean I...I am royalty an' all" Sora swallowed hard, this didn't seem good, after all he was only wearing a robe and long white pants, with a tight black belt strapped around his waist. These clothes didn't even belong to him! He decided to call out, he didn't want to be noticed but he hated being alone. In the dark. The darkness scared him even as a young child, it would always scare him.
"Hello? Is there...anyone there?" There was silence, only silence. Sora bowed his head, closing his eyes he didn't want to see the shadows laughing at him "anyone?" He whispered.
The windows creaked as the wind rolled over the glass, seeping through the cracks and brushing gently against Sora's skin. He shivered as a noise came from the shadows and echoed throughout the marble room.
Sora looked up, scared and unaware of whatever the darkness held behind its dark vail.
"Hello...?" Sora breathed.
A strong masculine voice answered his almost inaudible call "I see your finally awake young prince," said the voice. Sora narrowed his eyes, the voice sounded familiar, a new familiar. Sora could feel the person's presence; they were drawing closer to him. Yet he couldn't see them.
Suddenly Sora's eyes widened as he saw non-other than Riku appear at the very edge of the bed, dressed in a different white robe and loose black pants, a very strange expression on his face. One, with too many emotions. Sapphire met jade as reality hit Sora. "You, you didn't?!" Sora shrieked.
"Didn't what?" the boy asked.
"Riku! You...! Don't come any closer!"
"Why?" Riku asked softly.
Sora was confused and outraged at the same time; it was Riku who had put the needle into his neck wasn't it? Sora had felt it! Why wouldn't Riku want to hurt him again? "Because I... I don't trust you" Sora pointed a finger at Riku accusingly.
"Is that all you have to say to me?" Riku asked in the same soft tone as he crawled slowly towards Sora across the mattress.
Sora quickly shuffled back hitting the headboard of the bed. Sora turned to the headboard and cursed at it rubbing his back 'stupid thing' he thought.
"So..." Sora immediately brought his attention back to the person who was his current reason of fear. Sora had to face him, only to find that their faces where inches apart.
"Why so scared little prince?" Riku asked, the same strange expression on his face. Sora couldn't answer. This wasn't right, Sora was supposed to be at home in the palace putting on a fake visage to please everyone, making small talk with others and pretending to be happy, being polite, assuming the manner of a prince. Not backed into a corner by a common thief. Sora shook his head, why couldn't he be left alone?
"That's not an answer," Riku whispered.
Sora just turned away 'leave me' he tugged on his hair squeezing his eyes shut "Just leave me, alone!"
Riku put his arms around Sora's shoulders 'don't touch me'
"You don't understand...I can't, this is how it is meant to be" Riku whispered
"How...?" Sora was spun to face Riku. Opening his eyes he saw a smile on Riku's lips, his aqua eyes searching for some kind of emotion in Sora, eyes darting across Sora's face, arms wrapping around him once more. "Let me see...the true..." Riku whispered closing his eyes, leaning forward and gently resting his head on Sora's shoulder. He slowly swayed them both... and Sora felt true emotion. He relaxed into Riku, letting him move them slowly; Sora leaned against Riku and closed his eyes yet again. This time not in fear, in an emotion he had never felt before. "Riku, I..."
Riku shushed him and pulled back, cupping Sora's chin with his bare hand "Sora..."
"Yes..."
"Sora..." Riku's voice became fainter.
"Yes Riku...
"Sora..." It seemed like a whisper.
"Yes Riku, tell me..."
"Sora..." A distant breath.
"Riku...?"
"Sora..."
The dark room melted away leaving a brighter, larger room in its place. But as the room left, so did Riku, the voice became louder and clearer but was replaced with a lighter feminine voice. And Riku was replaced with the smiling face of Selphie.
"Hey there Shinzo! Good ta see you're awake! But err...I'm not Riku 'k'?"
Sora blushed deeply; it had been a dream? And worst of all Selphie had heard him? Then where was Riku? Had he heard him? 'Oh shit! Riku!'
"Yo! Earth to Sora!"
"Sorry..."
She smiled. "Come on I gotta find Riku! He's lookin' for a room for ya! So he kinda had to leave pretty quick! You have no idea how many people have been captured!" She laughed.
"Like I care" Sora murmured turning his gaze away from Selphie.
"Ooh, Sorry Shinzo I didn't mean it in a bad way"
"Well how did you mean it?" Sora spat.
"Umm..." Selphie put a finger to her lip then smiled again "Let's go find Riku!"
"Wait that's not an answer!" Sora yelled over the noise of even more incoming vehicles 'stupid...' Sora looked around the enormous room seeing crates, other thieves, stolen treasures, metals, large air crafts and equipment. '...Loading dock' Sora decided.
"I know but...oh well! Move it! Come on move, move, move!" She yelled as she dragged Sora away by the arm. "Oh, come on Shinzo, I just know ya wanna see Riku"
"Selphie!"
"What?! You should be grateful to Riku, he's tryin' really hard to get you a room, so move it!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So what does he look like?"
"Who? The guy I captured? Well, he has spiky brown hair, blue eyes, kinda short..."
The thieves around Riku laughed at his comment. Riku put up a hand.
"Wait I haven't finished yet" he laughed "okay, he's skinny, little ta no muscles and he has a pretty high voice...ya know what I'm talkin' about"
They laughed again. "But..." Riku added "he is..."
They leaned in to hear him.
"The prince of white wolf" he finished.
"You're joking!" Said one, eyebrows raised and eyes wide.
"Nope, he even told me!" Riku laughed.
"He told you?! That's the stupidest thing you could do!" Another laughed.
"I know, I tried really hard not to laugh in his face. He was looking all serious, I couldn't bare to make him the fool!" Riku mocked, putting on a dramatic face.
The others laughed again. "Nice one Silver!" One yelled.
"Yeah, ya did really well this time!"
"Great!"
Riku smiled, 'a job well done' he thought 'maybe I can get some real respect around here!'
"We'll see ya later Silver!" They cheered as they walked off laughing and joking, some patting Riku on the shoulder as they left.
"Maybe we get to see 'im later eh?" A younger one asked with a wink.
"We'll see" Riku said.
As they all left Riku felt happy, maybe he had found some true friends. He smiled again. Maybe.
"Hey Riku there you are!"
Riku turned to see his first friend whom he had known since childhood.
"Hey there Selph, what's up?" Riku asked.
"Well, I saw ya joking with those guys and I wanted to know what's so funny. What were you talking about? Tell me? Please?"
Just then Sora came jogging up behind Selphie. Riku eyed him, looking him up and down.
"Nothin'" he replied.
'Guy stuff I guess' Selphie thought. "Soooo... did ya get Shinzo a room?" She asked.
"No, I just couldn't get one" Riku lied.
"Well where's he gonna sleep?! On the roof?! " Selphie joked
"With you, in your room" Riku replied calmly
"He can't!"
"Why not?!"
"'Cos' I'm a girl and he's a boy! It doesn't work!"
"Well then where!" This was just stupid to Riku, why not? Sora wouldn't mind! Would he?
"With you of course!" Selphie yelled, this was a pointless argument she thought.
"What?! I don't want him!" Riku retorted.
"Well ya have ta have him 'cos' I just can't!"
"No. Way. I don't want a pompous little prince marching about my room givin' me orders and turning his nose up at me saying I'm not worthy and all that shit!"
"I'm standing right here ya know!!" Sora yelled
They both turned to him "ooh sorry Shinzo" Selphie winced, she forgot he was there.
Riku just gave him a sadistic look.
"No it's okay, I'll just go hang myself so you don't have to bother with a stuck-up prince like me! I know! Why don't I just drop dead for ya now?! 'Cos' sure as hell I don't matter to anyone!!" He bellowed. Various people turned to look in their direction.
"D...don't do that!" Riku stuttered.
Sora and Selphie turned to him shock written all over them
"We can't get a good ransom if you're dead" he finished.
That was it! Riku, as far as Sora could see was a selfish bastard that deserved nothing more than to shut the hell up and let Sora just beat the crap out of him. 'Forget the dream!'
Sora shrieked and lunged himself at Riku, knocking him down. Both boys rolled around fighting each other, kicking and throwing punches at each other.
"Err...guys, guys!" Selphie tried getting their attention but they wouldn't stop. She tried again and again but they just ignored her.
"Stop it!" She cried 'boys!' she thought
The boys where cursing and becoming slightly more vicious by the minute. 'What to do, what to do?!' Selphie thought.
"Stop it now, now, now, now, now...now?" She stopped once she saw they weren't fighting anymore. In fact, Sora wasn't moving at all! Riku stood, panting heavily.
"Shinzo!" She shrieked "Riku what the hell did you do?!"
Riku pulled up his jacket sleeve, in his hand was the same needle as before. "Empty" Selphie mouthed.
"Fine" Riku, said, "he can stay in my room"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The two of them carried Sora to Riku's rather large bedroom and placed him on Riku's bed. They watched as Sora curled up to keep himself warm. He was breathing gently. Selphie sighed in relief, Sora was fine, he didn't have an overdose.
"You could have really hurt him ya know!" Selphie whispered angrily.
"What else was I supposed to do? Let him claw my eyes out? No thank you" Riku whispered back.
"Well at least he's okay" Selphie sighed turning back to Sora.
"Whatever"
They stood in silence for a short time, Selphie watching the shadows dance and Riku watching Sora.
"Well g'night!" Selphie whispered after a short time.
"What? You're not going to help me make another bed for Sora?" Riku asked.
"It's a big bed! You can share!" Selphie replied already going out the door.
Riku chose to overlook that point. "But...but..."
"Night Riku!" and with that, Selphie was gone.
Riku looked back at Sora and sighed, slipping off his coat and hanging it at the foot of the bed before sitting on 'his' side of the bed. He kicked off his shoes and slid under the sheets.
Turning to Sora he noticed the boy was shivering. Riku rolled his eyes and pulled the sheets over Sora. "There" he whispered. Sora mumbled in his sleep and nuzzled the pillow; intrigued, Riku strained his ears to hear what he was saying.
"...iku..." Sora whispered and nuzzled the pillow again.
Riku blushed, he didn't know why but he did. '...iku?' he thought.
