Darkness Within by rin_lockheart

i kept everything inside and even though i tried it all fell apart what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time i tried so hard ~~~in the end - LINKIN PARK



Cloud, who was still mentally beating himself up, walked over to where the Keyblade lay. Slowly he bent down and picked it up. It felt odd in his hand; he guessed it was because he wasn't master of it.

"Sora must have dropped this..." he said quietly. "Sora....." He looked up towards the stars, determination clear in his mako**-green eyes. "Sora... I will find you. Wherever in any of the worlds you are, I'll find you. Just hang on."*

Quickly he ran to find Aerith and Yuffie, and maybe Leon too, to help him in his search.

!~!~!~!~!~!

You love the way I look at you While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through You take away if I give in My life, my pride is broken ~~~points of authority - LINKIN PARK



Riku continued to carry Sora over his shoulder through the black abyss in which the platinum haired youth resided. This was his "room" if you will.

Out of nowhere, a bed appeared; it was covered in black sheets and pillow covers. It was square shaped, like a normal bed, but had what appeared to be talons for legs. It's owners' dream bed.

He removed the small brunette from his shoulder and placed him on the bed. He looked so serene in his unconscious sleep that Riku couldn't help but stroke his face with his gloved hand. Even through the material of the glove he could tell how soft Sora's skin was. And he knew that softness off by heart.

Sora suddenly stirred causing Riku to pull his hand back. The platinum haired one smirked when Sora opened his big ocean blue eyes and stared at him in fear. The boy backed up until he hit the headboard of the bed.

"Soooorraaaa," Riku cooed to his captive. The said captive kept trying to back up into the headboard. Riku crawled onto the end of the bed and slowly started crawling up towards the head.

The boy's eyes widened. "S-stay away f-from me," he stuttered meekly.

Riku reached Sora. "You don't mean that," he purred. The brunette responded by trying to get past the older boy but Riku simply grabbed him by the arm and turned him around. The result; Sora was sent to Riku's arms, which immediately wrapped tightly around him. Sora squirmed and wriggled as best he could but he couldn't best Riku's strength.

As fast as he had the last time, Riku started kissed him roughly on the lips. His tongue forced entry into Sora's mouth and he pushed the boy backwards onto the bed, pinning him effectively with his greater weight. Though he tried, Sora couldn't shove Riku off him, even when the youth started to take his cloths off. Feeling completely helpless, Sora started crying. But the tears did nothing to stop Riku; he just kept taking the boy's cloths off agonizingly slow.

Completely nude, like the last time, with Riku strattling him was starting to make Sora feel worse and worse. So much that he just gave up struggling all together when Riku kissed his way down his neck, hands groping anything they could.

"Cloud..." the brunette mumbled weakly. "Help me, please... I'm sorry............"

!~!~!~!~!~!

"Yuffie, how do think it's going with Cloud?" Aerith asked the younger girl.

She shrugged. "Uh huh. You never now with Cloud." She looked behind her to someone standing in the shadows. "What do you think Leon?"

The shadow seemed to shake it's head. "It's not my place to say."

The girl stuck her tongue out at the stoic man and turned back to Aerith. "Well, I think that Cloud's told Sora and they're happily making out in an ally somewhere! That's what's probably happening as we speak!!"

Leon twitched.

Just as Yuffie was about to say that, "It is!!!", Cloud burst through the door of the small house, panting and carrying Sora's Keyblade in one gloved hand. He had a worried look on his face which he didn't wear very often.

"What is it, Cloud?" Aerith asked. "What's happened?"

"So-Sora," he panted. "He's been kidnapped."

All three sets of eyes widened and stared at him. "What?!!" Yuffie asked, extremely confused.

"You heard me," Cloud replied. "He was kidnapped by his old "friend", who now works for the Heartless. That's about all I know. But we have to get him back before something bad happens to him."

Leon eyed the blonde suspiciously. Cloud knew something he wasn't telling the rest of them. "What makes you think that they'll do something bad to the boy?"

He shrugged. "They are Heartless."

Leon replied by snorting and pushing off of the wall, stepping out of the shadows. "Are we going to rescue him or not?"

~Fin of ch. 7~

*= was that a corny line or what??!? I've seen it in too many movies; I just couldn't resist putting it in there!

**= if you don't know about mako, PLAY FF7!!!!!! But, if you don't wanna spend all that valuable money, here's a brief explanation: mako is energy from the Planet which the people of Midgar and the entire Planet use everyday for different things. The mako is sucked out of the Planet by giant reactors in Midgar, which is slowly killing the Planet. ShinRa, a mega company in Midgar, infuses soldiers with mako to make them stronger. This also gives the soldiers' eyes a green tint. Too much exposer to mako will result in mako-poisoning (a rare case in which a large amount of mako in shoved into the brain at once) and leave you like one of those people who can't talk or move very well and have to have constant care from other people. There ya go!!! The best explanation I can give. You no likey, you can shove it up where the sun don't shine!!!

A/N : what do you think? Tell ME!!!!!! ^____^ Anywho, should I keep putting bits of songs at the beginning of the chappy's or what? R+R and tell me!
