Okay. I'm so sorry for the late update. xD; Lots of things came about.

Well, I met the two coolest people in the world while you were waiting.

One, was a reviewer. Her name was Hikaru Irving, I think… She's an amazing artist. I'm still waiting for the HorohoroxLyserg picture. She's a doll, by the way.

And second, I also met someone on Gaia. Which is addicting, by the way, which is why this update was so late..-sweatdrop- Anyways. As it turns out, she's a RikuxSora fan, too. How did I find that out? xD She was cosplaying as Riku, and I stalked her for a bit. I'm going to create a new account, called SoraDoll (Which hers is called RikuDoll. Duh.), and cosplay as Sora. And we're going to be Kingdom Hearts Gaia Cosplay buddies! xD If you want to help me afford cool Sora clothing, please, please donate? I'm not one to normally beg, but this is pretty neat.

Oh. But if you just want my normal Gaia account it's Eau Terre. (You're going to have to put the little underscore, underline thing between Eau and Terre, because FF is an ass. -Innocent whistle-) I suggest you go on there, it's a lot of fun.

Anyways, sorry for the late update. x) This chapter is kind of a filler, and kind of crappy, I'm sorry. I feel like things are going to fast… I don't know. You tell me.


Chapter six: Diagnose

By: Alice

Eyes. Glaring, heated eyes. But neither of them exchanged words. Riku thought for, perhaps, a moment Leon was too startled, his eyes flashed with instinctive rationality, and his muscled tensed. But he ceased that when Sora brought the man into a warm, friendly embrace. And Riku… He just had this sly smirk on his face, and looked quite comfortable sitting there on the couch, letting his eyes pierce through Leon. He knew the man would do nothing so long as his beloved and Cloud remained in the room. Tension—There was none.

"Leon!" Sora chirped, "You're home!"

The gazing hatred in the tall brunette eased softly as they fell upon the cinnamon haired boy. He even offered a weak smile. Cold as ice.

"Yeah. Office was messy today, had to clean it up."

Riku quirked a brow. Office? Since when did vampire slayers have offices? An image of bloody murderers with chainsaws and knives, clothed in salmon colored suits mind you, crowded around a desk with circle coffee stains and a computer, quickly formed in Riku's head. He snorted at that. It was probably his cover. And Riku didn't blame him for lying, either. He was actually glad. It must have been the same reasons Riku didn't tell him. One, Sora would think he was crazy. And, even if he didn't, this was something he should not be involved in. It simply… Would cause chaos.

And if he did… Then… Sora would be on the wrong side. He would mostly hate vampires because of that known fact… Which would most likely taint him, which brings us back to the whole 'chaos' theory. With Sora obliviously unaware of the disorder dancing around, there was the slightest possibility Sora could accept Riku. Which was why Riku hoped, and prayed (Which was stupid. Reason stated obvious.)And why he felt like everything wasn't inevitable. But that also made Riku think. Leon obviously had a choice in this..

In which case, why wouldn't he tell Sora? As a vampire slayer, wouldn't he want Sora to be against vampires? Wouldn't that be.. like.. natural? Then again, if he had the same intentions as Riku did… He sighed. He was just going in circles now... So he just let the subject drop. He'd worry about it later. Seems like that's all Riku did—Push things off.

Well, she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor
Just for the attention.
Cause that's just ridiculously on.
Well, she sure is going to get it

Here's the setting
Fashion magazines line the walls now
The walls line the bullet holes...
You sure, you sure you let her have it?
You sure, you sure you...

But then there was Cloud.

If he knew was beyond comprehendible. He let his eyes fall to the blonde, but his gaze was unreturned. He, too, had his vision glued to the vampire slayer. God.

Finally, someone's eyes were on Riku. But not the ones Riku wanted.

"So." Leon said gruffly, "Who are you?"

Riku rolled his eyes. "Please, dear fellow. Don't be so kind." His words were spat, which earned him a scolding from Sora.

"Riku!" He said, "Behave! Don't treat Monsieur Leon with such disrespect!"

"Whatever" Riku grumbled, which caused Sora to throw him a glare. Though it wasn't really a glare. Because no matter how you looked at it, it always appeared as a pout. Riku couldn't help but grin at that. With his mood lifted, albeit unintentionally, the vampire got to his feet. Didn't he look like a slouch, sitting there? Why, he was being presented! He should at least give a good first impression (Though he's already blown that) to this man. At least, for Sora.

"Riku." He said, grin easing to a smirk as he held out a fairly pale hand in greeting. "Riku Allure."

And after Leon held some troublesome stubborn naiveté, he finally accepted, shaking Riku's hand. The vampire almost felt like laughing. He was as hard as stone! His eyes swirled with the frosty regal he so proudly dressed in. But before Leon could speak, Riku formed words on his lips.

"Leon, I presume?" Riku said, as he slowly let go of his hand, "I've…Heard so much about you."

Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Leon raised a brow, but he again was cut short.

"Go ahead, Riku." Sora said, "You don't have to be polite and stick with French casualties."

Horror struck Riku hard, and he felt his stomach churn. He couldn't look Leon in the eyes, so he planted them on the taller one's hand. He sighed. Oh how he hated Sora right now…Well. Not really. He could never hate him. Rather, he hated himself. In other words, his self esteem was taking a nose dive, and he mentally slapped himself. Why did he have to lie..? Why? Why couldn't he make something else up…?

All for Sora.

With much discomfort in his features, he slowly brought Leon's hand upwards, and brushed it to his lips. It was only for a second…But a second from Hell. Leon was blushing, Riku hated the taste. He almost threw Leon hand down, and had to grit his teeth from gagging. It was horrible! It was like.. It...Just..! To go from Sora's to Leon's is like…Going from a kitten to lion. A monstrous mutated lion with one eye and discolored hair. Riku's neon eyes glanced up. No…No, Leon wasn't blushing. He was…

"What the Hell was that?"

..Mad.

Give me envy, give me malice, give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice, baby, give me a break!
When I say "Shotgun", you say "Wedding"
"Shotgun", "Wedding", "Shotgun", "Wedding"

Sora pouted, and side-hugged his vampire.

"Don't be mad, Monsieur Leon," He said through soft lips, "Riku's not from around here. We should help him feel at home!"

Riku almost snorted at that. Not what you did, little hypocrite! And just for that, he wrapped his arm securely about Sora's waist, bringing him closer, and planted a kiss on his cheek. Sora blushed. Get the nasty taste from his mouth by your supple flesh, human. Oh, please, feel the body against his. The build, the refuge. A sanctuary, by the man's wings which formed a canopy. His black, black wings, to hide the scarce moonbeams. Smile softly for him, it makes him feel nice.

And Leon would have attacked the silver haired one, literally; any one could see the passion in his eyes. But Cloud touched his arm, and shook his head.

"Whatever" Leon muttered.

Riku knew he should leave. But Leon would probably brainwash his little lovely. Though he seriously doubted that, he had to make sure. And he felt relived when Cloud asked if the tall brunette wanted to get dinner.

Well, she didn't choose this role
But she'll play it and make it sincere
So you cry, you cry
(Baby give me a break)
But they believe it from the tears
And the teeth right down to the blood
At her feet
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and wearing Aborigine dreams

"I don't know.." Well of course he was uncertain. Who would leave somebody like Sora in the company of a murderer!

"Oh, please?" Cloud whined, "I promise this time, I'll pay!"

And Leon sighed, rolling his eyes at his boyfriend. But he didn't object! Which is basically a yes in Cloud's book. When the blonde was pushing his lover out the door, he gave Riku a wink.

Thank you, Riku mouthed.

Go get'em, tiger! Cloud mouthed back.

And Riku smiled, the door shut, leaving behind a silence which embraced Sora and Riku slowly... Till Riku wanted to spark things up. With Sora still in his arms, which we all know that Sora isn't moving any time soon, he began to kiss his cheek again, causing Sora to giggle. Softly, those giggles became moans as the kisses fell down his jaw line. Sora's eyes became hooded, then closed, feeling Riku's lips throwing his mind off into oblivion. But the only thing which cleared Sora's head, the lucid rinse it fell over his mind, were the clean words Riku emitted.

"You're so beautiful, Sora.."

The boy tensed, and Riku immediately felt that. He felt every muscle stressed, so he stopped. The vampire lifted his head, to look the boy in the eyes. To read them, to figure out what Sora was thinking. Did he do something wrong? Did he hurt him? But what Riku read in those eyes was nothing of the sort… He felt the warmth they released. The same he felt the minute he first set eyes on the boy. The ginger, the confused kindness. Eyes that smile…Lips that stare…

"..Do you really mean that?" Sora asked, his voice timid in the darkness. Riku adored it.

The vampire nodded, "..More gorgeous than anything I've ever seen.." And I've seen a lot!

Come on this is screaming "Photo op." op...
(It's time to dance)
Come on this is screaming "Photo op." op...
(It's time to dance)
Come on

This is screaming

Sora smiled, blushing darkly as his eyes fell to the floor. He gave a nervous chuckle. But Riku's frowned, and brought his fingers around the boy's chin, forcing his head up, as well as his eyes.

"Don't hide your eyes" Riku said, "I love them. I want to continue looking into them.."

"..R-Riku.." He whispered, a tad bit dazzled. Swept off his feet. The vampire surely did make his heart melt.

The silvered hair one knew he shouldn't take advantage of Sora with pretty words. He knew it—Sora wasn't a whore. He wasn't a victim, not his prey. No, he deserved better. He would not capture his lips in a kiss, so simply brought them to his angel's forehead, and hugged the boy softly. He continued to coo off sanitary remarks, words, so smooth the stains in his angel's heart. Riku loved knowing he could make Sora smile.. It just.. It sparkled. He glowed.

Luminous.

"Riku…?" Sora asked the darkness.

"Yes, sweetheart?" Riku responded, gently stroking the other's hair.

"..Why did you say those things?" Riku's heart almost thawed. How innocent could the boy be?

"..Because they're true." He said.

"But.." Sora protested, "No one's ever said those things to me before.."

Riku chuckled, "Because they're ignorant. No doubt your brother's called you pretty before, right? He knows what's best."

Sora nodded, "..Well..Yes.."

A thought came to Riku's head, and he bit his lip. Should he ask? It couldn't bring that much harm, right?

"..Hey, Sora..?" He asked.

Have some composure
And where is your posture?
You sure, you sure you let her have it?
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger
You sure, you sure you...

The brunette lifted his gaze to Riku's, so the silver haired boy continued, "..How much do you know about Leon?"

Riku's angel smiled. "He's my brother's boyfriend."

Riku almost snorted. "Well, Yes… I know that. I mean, about his job."

Sora blinked... Then bit his lip. "All I know is that he works at an office." He said, "But I remember, this one time, Leon was talking on the phone with somebody about how his client was already captured.." He shrugged. "Leon said it was nothing—Or rather, he said it was a game or something, but I don't know.."

Riku sighed. Well, that certainly put a twist on things. He knew for certain Leon was a vampire slayer, he could read it in his eyes. But… Client? Captured? Maybe it was a vampire slaying club or something. They might actually have that, stupid crazy humans. They have terrorist clubs, so really, it's not that ridiculous. And… Seeing Leon? Riku doesn't put it past him. Something bugged Riku though.. Like.. There was something else to it. Leon was hiding something. A game? Psh. Yeah, okay.

Riku wasn't as stupid as he sometimes lets on.

The vampire shrugged, and gave the boy one last hug.

"I should be going soon.." He whispered, but didn't say anything else when he felt Sora cling to him tighter. The slight gasp in his voice made Riku pause. Did something frighten him?

"Please.." Sora squeaked, "Please. Stay with me until I fall asleep.." He said. And how could Riku gripe to something like that? Simply the brunette's voice, the tone in which he spoke those words… Ran shivers down the vampire's spine. So he smirked lightly, and led him to the couch, bringing him down upon the cushions.

"..Why?" Riku asked, fingers running through the other's hair.

"..I'm.." Sora fidgeted, "I'm afraid of the dark."

Riku held in a smile. How ironic it is.

He nodded, "Alright." He said, "..But you hurry up and fall asleep!" He jeered, grinning. "Close your eyes, close your eyes!"

So the blue eyed boy did as he was told, though he was smiling, and tightly closed his eyes, peeking every now and then to make sure the vampire never left. As Riku's eyes grazed over the boy's beautiful features, once again falling into the pit of how much he desired him, he had to control himself from not touching him. It almost hurt, really. How much he wanted the boy. How much he loved him…

Riku sighed when he felt Sora's conscience fall into slumber, his chest rising and falling, and his muscles easing. Peace. Oh, how adorable he looked.. But Riku had to go. He mustn't stay long, for he doesn't know how much longer he could control himself. Particularly with the growing craving—The bloodlust. So, with a swift kiss on the forehead, and one last glance, he left the room. Now… He had a particular Vampire Slayer to question.

He would find out about this… 'Client.'

What was Leon hiding?

Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
