Kingdom Hearts: Voices of the Heart

Chapter- 5

Hiya peoples! Arigatou to all of you who actually reviewed this time! DieChan and Tami3 more specifically. :-D I am actually enjoying writing this fic so please keep me motivated with more reviews, okay peoples? Oh yeah and just to make a quick note, the future chapters of this story will more than likely contain more torture, violence, swearing and MAYBE a lil yaoi but its not consentual so give it a try even if you don't like yaoi or shounen AI(sp?). With that said, enjoy!

When Sora re-awoke to the dreaded reality he so longed to escape, he immediately regretted it. His muscles throbbed, his broken bones ached, and upon looking down at what he could see of his arms and legs, he found that they were decorated with small but deep teethmarks.
"Damn...this sucks..." Sora mumbled to himself, laughing when he heard it echo against the stone walls of the dimly lit room. "What was I even thinking coming here by myself? What point was I trying to prove?" he asked, not expecting an answer. One thing he was sure of, however, was that his situation was looking more and more hopeless by the minute. They had taken his keyblade, Goofy and Donald were probably still stuck on Traverse Town, which was completely his fault, Kairi was out of reach and Riku was acting insane. How much worse could things get?
"Hello, Sora..." A voice whispered from the other side of the room, almost by where he estimated the door to be. Sora, startled by the odd presence, lifted his gaze and began to search for a body that accompanied the voice. What was with all the mysticism? He asked himself mentally.

"Just show yourself already. I'm tired of the stupid games that you freaks play." Sora said dryly.

"Oh, but Sora! You know how much I love games!" The voice teased coming closer and sounding more and more familiar by the second. Suddenly, Sora realized who it was and closed his eyes in disgust.

"Yeah, I'm aware, Riku." He replied with a sigh."Did you come to join in the fun your little friends are having at my expense as well?" Sora asked, trying to act as though he didn't care.

"I guess you could loosely describe my visit as being one of entertainment, yes. But you know..." Riku began, now in Sora's full view. "Their idea of fun is a lot different from mine..." He added, stroking Sora's face with a cool, gloved hand. Sora shuddered, he was mortified by the way Riku was acting, but the cool feeling of his hand seemed to feel good against his bruised and burning face. He almost felt comforted, but knowing it was Riku made him come back to his senses.
"Get the hell away from me, Riku." Sora spat, jerking his head away from Riku's awkward touch. "Sick Bastard..." He added in a whisper.
"Now is that anyway to talk to an old friend, Sora?" Riku asked while grabbing Sora's face with lightening speed and forcing Sora to face him. "Hmm?" he teased. Sora remained far from amused and had his wrists not of been bolted to the wall above him in shackles, he would of broken the hand that grabbed him. However, retaliation was far from within his reach and as much as he hated to admit it, he was at the whim of his once best friend.

"What do you want from me? You have Kairi, the Keyblade, and my freedom. What else is there to take?" Sora asked, exhausted and fresh out of insults. Riku smiled crookedly and Sora once again felt a chill. Something told him that this was probably the dumbest question that he could of asked.
"Sora, there are still many things left to take from you. Your heart, your life...your innocence..." Riku said seductively, putting an emphasis at the end. Sora's eyes widened at the morbid conversation that Riku was obviously leading. Where had his strong, reliable, and caring friend gone? And at that, what in the hell was this thing that had replaced him?
"Riku, what's happened to you?" Sora asked sympathetically before he could stop himself. Riku almost seemed suprised at the question that Sora had asked. Sliding the hand that had been cupping Sora's face around to the back of his neck now, he leaned in untill they both were uncomfortably close.
"You, Sora." Riku confessed, his lips touching Sora's ear. "You're the reason why my life has been torn in two, you're the reason why my body, heart and soul now belong to these monsters, and you're the reason why I will never again feel happiness or taste the freedom of a new day in which I can make my own decisions." He added, bitterly. "But don't worry, i'm not angry or hurt anymore. All my pain dispersed the moment that I let the darkness take hold. Now, all I want is to see you suffer. I want to watch as you lose everything that is dear to you, and when you are so broken that you can no longer hold your gaze above the ground I will kill you. Then I will find some way for your heart to beat once more, for life to creep its way back into your useless shell and then I will kill you once more and I will keep doing this until my craving for revenge is satisfied..." Riku stated, pulling Sora into a forced kiss.
Sora's body tensed and his eyes nearly bulged out of his skull. What the hell was going on? Why was Riku kissing him? He tried to squirm away, but Riku only tightened the grip that he had on the back of his neck while using his free hand to lightly tug at the zipper on Sora's jumpsuit.

"Am I interrupting?" Maleficent asked, appearing out of nowhere behind Riku. Finally releasing Sora from his kiss, Riku turned around to face the old woman. He was far from suprised by the intrusion.

"You could say that." Riku replied, slightly annoyed. Meanwhile, Sora was trying to hold back the urge to vomit. He had been intimately kissed by his best friend...and it WASN'T Kairi!

"Well, young one, I would'nt want you to miss the meeting we've arranged. I know your somewhat excited about your new pet, but we wont tolerate truancy." Maleficent warned her expression one of subdued anger. However, Riku chose to ignore it and continued with his disrespect.

"Fine, whatever. If I'm needed that badly." He sighed, shrugging. Turning around to face Sora once more, he smiled tauntingly. "We'll finish playing later, okay?" He said cheerfully, almost as they he and Sora were still children and one of them were being called away for dinner.
"Take you time!" Sora spat in response, a solid glare on his face. Riku nodded, ignoring his attitude and quietly followed Maleficent out of the room. Sora watched them carefully, and once the door creaked shut he immediately began to struggle against his shackles. Forcing his legs free was impossible from the angle he had been positioned in, but his wrists didn't seem like they would pose too much of a problem. Atleast until he realized that after a few harsh tugs they were bleeding from the metal cutting into them. Sora hissed in annoyance as thin streams of blood began to run down his arms, tickling as they fell. For the first time since he had been captured, Sora finally resigned to the sad truth that he was stuck, and no one was going to save him.

-Hollow Bastion's Castle, The chapel-

"DAMNIT, Riku!" Maleficent shouted, banging her fist into the cylindrical tableand nearly breaking the scrying mirror. "How dare you sass me like that!" She added, backhanding him across the face. "Have you forgotten who owns you? Have you forgotten why you were bestowed with those powers? It's for the purpose of serving us! Now I have no problem with you imploying your own methods to break that stubborn, bastard of a child. BUT if me allowing you to do this causes you to think that you have more authority, then you can forget it! I made you and I can break you just as easily. DON'T forget that!" She spat, walking to the other side of the room and taking a deep breath. Riku, unshaken by her lecture, stared at her blankly. His expression had gone unreadable. A long uncomfortable silence had made its way into the room. Even Captain Hook and Hades had ceased they're usual bickering.

"We're running out of time..." Maleficent confessed, finally turning around to face her subordinates. "Jafar... I had sent you in to break that brat first. Tell me...why were you unable to suceed?" She asked, staring at him intensely. Jafar, obviously intimidated by the woman, started to mumble out a jumbled response.
"I-I u-uh... H-He w-was a little harder to deal with than I thought. Though he appears to be nothing more than a week little kid, he can take alot of pain and isn't afraid to face it. THERE you have my honesty." Jafar replied, a little bit of attitude creeping into his voice at the end.
"Your incompetence will not go un-punished. In fact your inibility to strike even the slightest amount of fear into this child is causing me to doubt the rest of your abilities." Maleficent said coolly. Oogie Boogie started to raise a badly sewn arm in protest, but Hades swatted it down. Maleficent was not in a mood to be argued with. "We can't take our time. We need that child's powers if we want to stip this world of its retched light! For if we don't suceed soon, we will be cast back into the shadows and I for one refuse to be in that lowly position ever again. This is a warning, not a friendly suggestion. Get your acts together! The next person that I send in there better get the job done, and if you should fail I will be the one sending you back to the dark, dank pit that you crawled out of. That said, Hook I place you as next. Don't let me down." Maleficent warned.
"Aye, Lady Maleficent. I will not let ye down." Hook replied, all traces of his demented sense of humor gone.

Interstellar Space between the Worlds

Less than half an hour had passed since Donald and Goofy blasted off from Traverse Town and Goofy was already pacing again. Donald had been trying to ignore it by busying himself with ship stats, but he just couldn't take it anymore.
"Goofy, woul'd you please just sit down?" He asked, trying to hide his annoyance.
"I can't Donald. I'm just a bit anxious to get to Sora. I can't help but feel like something bad is going ta happen to him, if it already hasn't." He replied, still pacing.
"Well we'll be there soon! It's only a 2-3 hour flight, and usually it wouldn't even take that long, but I want to take it slow and make sure the Gummi has been repaired correctly. If you way the outcomes it would make more sense to go slow and steady, monitoring any ship abnormalities than to speed there and crash on an unknown planet." Donald lectured, turning his attention back to the control panel.

"B-but!-" Goofy began.
"I care about him too, Goofy..." Donald confessed, cutting Goofy off. "Why do you think I'm taking every precaution in getting us there? Every dull moment that passes by drives me insane as well, but I'd rather endure that, than risk not getting there at all..." He added, glad that he had turned around. The last thing he wanted Goofy to see was him crying. Goofy, now quiet, finally took a seat in the corner of the Gummi. His gaze fell to the view of the outside space and he watched intently as each planet floated by, hoping that soon his eyes would fall upon Hollow Bastion.

And that is the end of chapter 5! Woo, that was interresting to type...I hope you guys are going to kick up my reviews soon! C'mon I even accept anonymous ones! There are no excuses! That said, see you all in chapter 6!
