Hey, y'all! How you been? I've been so busy this week, I barely got this chapter done! I know that it's kind of short, but I tried to put in a ton of fluff for ya! I know that the story needed a little bit more of it, so I tried. Don't hate me if you don't like it! Riku gets his revenge in this chapter! Yays! Thanks to all of the people who left reviews! A shout out to Merodi Tora, sweatthangpaige, DieChan, AnimeDutchess, BLACKSHEEP, Tala and Kai Lover, Azad Sound, starryskydragon, and last but not least Yuna! You guys all rock out loud! I'm happy to announce that this story will be coming to an end soon, but have no fear! I will be making a sequel to this story, and that at least will have a happy ending. I already have an idea of what I want the ending to turn out like, and the feelings that I want it to project. So please look for the sequel, otherwise you won't get the full story! So, enjoy!

"Stop! Please, just stop," Riku heard through a door. It sounded like Sora, and he was in pain. He burst through the door, and was shocked at what he saw.

Riku took in the scene that lay before him, and he was instantly filled with murderous hatred. He saw his Sora tied up on a bed, completely naked, while Ansem was straddling him and taking off his pants. He could see the tears that were running down Sora's swollen and red face, and the fear in his eyes as the evil man tortured him. He saw the burn mark that marred the creamy white skin of Sora's chest. He heard whimpers and sobs coming from the younger boy, and by now Riku would do anything to kill the evil man who made Sora like this.

No," was all Ansem replied. "I have waited to long for this. Today, you will be mine."

"He said 'stop' you son-of-a-bitch," Riku said. He saw Sora look up, and his eyes lit up as he saw the dripping wet Riku standing there with a vicious look in his eye, holding on to his sword with a death grip. "Leave him alone, you bastard!" he yelled. "And get off of him!"

"Riku!" Sora cried.

"You sniveling brat! How in the world did you survive that fall!" Ansem bellowed. He got off of the crying boy, and grinned maliciously at the boy standing there. "What's wrong? Don't like the way I'm playing with my new toy?"

"Sora is NOT your toy!" Riku yelled as he pointed his sword at Ansem.

"You lied to me, you sick ogre!" Sora screamed at the man. "Let me go!"

"Shut up, you little monster!" he told the boy, as he slapped him.

"Make me!" Sora said defiantly.

"I said shut up, you worthless piece of trash!" he repeated. "I don't see why anybody would love or care about a stupid orphan," he scoffed as he looked down at the boy's hurt eyes.

"Get away from him, you evil bastard!" Riku said, taking a step closer, sword still raised at the man.

"What don't like me near him?" he mocked. "Well what would you say if I did this," he said, and he punched Sora in the stomach. As Sora cried out, Riku felt his heart tighten, as if he was the one who had gotten hurt, not Sora. "Oh, did I hit a weak spot? Let's try that again, shall we?" he said, and punched Sora in his privates. Sora screamed in pain, and Riku again felt his heart clench painfully.

"You just made the biggest mistake of your life!" Riku screamed as he lunged at the off guard man. He sliced a hole in his stomach, making him buckle his knees at the surprise attack. Riku quickly took this opportunity to cut him on the back a couple of times before he regained his wits.

"It looks like you just made the biggest mistake of yours," he said, standing up. He summoned a sword, and the two started to fight. Ansem struck out at Riku, and he parried it, and then hit at Ansem. Riku's attack hit, making a gash in the man's arm. The man stood up, and then lunged at Riku again. This time his attack hit scratching Riku's leg. He jumped back, not caring about the gash in his leg. He was too angry at Ansem to care.

He lunged at the man, and cut his leg and other arm. By now the man was a bloody mess, but that didn't stop him. Ansem slashed at Riku, and the boy blocked the assault. He grabbed a blanket off of the bed Sora was trapped on, and threw it over Riku's head. Riku struggled with the blanket, and he finally got it off. He looked over at Ansem, and was shocked at what he saw. Ansem had gone over to the frightened brunette, and was holding the sword to his tender neck. Riku froze, not wanting Sora to get hurt.

"Sora!" Riku cried.

"Take another step, and I will slit his throat," Ansem said, a devilish grin spread across his features. "That's a good boy," Ansem said as he slid his free hand down Sora's naked body. It finally landed on Sora's crotch, and he started molesting him.

Riku heard Sora whimper, and saw the fear in his eyes. "Sora!" he cried again. Ansem pressed the sword to Sora's skin, making crimson blood start to run down his body. That did it. Riku snapped. He leapt at Ansem, and before the evil man could react, he had him on the ground, pinned underneath his sword.

"You can't kill me!" Ansem said, a grin spreading across his ugly face.

"Oh, and why is that?" Riku asked, pressing the sword closer to his neck.

"Because then you'll never know how to save Sora from the poison spell that I've implanted in his body! Look, you fool!" Ansem said, pointing at Sora. Riku looked over at the boy, who had his eyes closed. His face was sweaty and contorted with pain. The blood was running down his body, and he was sweating all over.

"You monster! How could you do any of this to your own flesh and blood!" Riku asked, enraged. The sword was now dangerously close to the man's neck, and if Riku pressed any more, he would start to draw blood.

"Simple, really. I want to be ruler of his kingdom. If he's alive, I can't be the true ruler," Ansem said, unafraid of the sword.

"You truly are a sick, twisted monster! You put Sora through all of this torture, fear, and pain just because you wanted power and money! You disgust me, you pig!" Riku screamed, his body shaking in anger.

"Disgust you I may, but if you don't do something soon, your poor little Sora will be dead! Mwuhahahahahaha!" Ansem said, mocking the outraged boy.

"Shut up, you bastard!" Riku said, and then slit the man's throat. The man made no sound, and Riku just left him there, dead. He rushed over to Sora, and cut the ropes holding him to the bed. He found Sora's pants and boxers and put them on the boy's frail body. He slung Sora on his back, and carried him out of the castle. The brunette was breathing heavily, and Riku was truly scared. He ran back to the cave, where he found Yuffie waiting for them.

"Hey, guys – What's wrong with Sora?" Yuffie said as the boys came in. He laid Sora on the ground, and tried to think of a way to make the poison stop.

"Ansem poisoned Sora before I could get to him! Now he's dieing and it's all my fault!" Riku cried, freaking out. By now he was a nervous wreck, and he was starting to lose his wits.

"Well, I think I know what the cure is. Do what you did before!" Yuffie said as she left the cave.

"What I did before? What was that?" Riku asked panicking.

"Ri – ku …" Sora cried. Then Riku knew what he had to do. He leaned down and kissed the brunette, making all of the pain go away. Sora's breathing started to return to normal, and his tense muscles started to relax. Riku didn't want to break the kiss, but he was human, and like all humans, he had to get air. He broke off the kiss, and let both himself and Sora get air. But the younger boy obviously didn't like this, and as soon as they had gotten enough air, he pulled Riku towards him and kissed him again. Riku wrapped his arms around Sora and pulled him closer. But just then a certain ninja walked in, and saw the scene that the two were making.

"Okay, break it up!" Yuffie yelled, making the two boys jump. Riku quickly let go of Sora, and they sat there looking innocent. "Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to do that later."

"What do you mean?" Sora asked, reaching for the bags that they had left there. He found a light blue shirt, and slipped it on.

"I mean, we have to get you to a safe home. But first we have to go to the city so that we can gather supplies," Yuffie said, gathering up the packs.

"Wait. Are we leaving now!" Riku asked.

"Yes. We have to get Sora and you as far away from the castle as possible. You know how Sephiroth came after me when I started to cause the avalanche? Yeah, well I almost defeated him, but he disappeared when he heard a loud scream from the castle. Since he disappeared, that means he is badly wounded, but he could attack us at any time. Besides, there is an old friend down the road that we should meet. So come on," Yuffie said as she picked up all of the bags.

"Okay," Riku said as he stood up. Sora tried to stand up, but he immediately fell down afterwards. He tried again, but got the same result. He looked sheepish, and tried once more, but to no avail.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about the paralyzing spell he put on me," Sora said quietly. Riku walked over put Sora on his back, giving him a piggy back ride. He followed Yuffie up the trail, enjoying the warmth of the younger boy on his back. "Hey, Riku, Ansem said that he threw you over a cliff. How did you live?" Sora asked as he held onto Riku.

"Oh, that. Well after you left, he had a couple of Heartless take me to the cliff. Then a search ghost pushed me over, and I thought I was a goner …

Flashback:

Riku closed his eyes and waited for the rocks that Yuffie said were below. But as he hit the bottom, it wasn't rocks he felt.

'Water?' Riku thought. He swam through the liquid, and burst through the top. Yep, it was water. It turns out that there was a small lake down here, not many rocks. If Riku had been over just a few more feet, he would have died, because that's where the shore was. Riku swam to the shore, lucky that he had cheated death. He climbed out, and found his sword, which had been pushed off with him.

He looked for an exit, and found a small door. He walked through it, finding himself in a dimly lit corridor. He climbed a bunch of steps, and came out in the woods, a little ways from the castle. He headed towards the castle, and entered. He had this feeling in his stomach, and he knew that something bad was happening to Sora. He ran through the castle, and was halfway up, when he heard a loud screaming ring throughout the castle.

Riku rushed up the stairs, knowing that Sora was scared and in pain. He heard sobs and whimpers coming through the castle. "Stop! Please just stop," he heard Sora cry …

End Flashback

"So, that's how you lived," Sora said, squeezing Riku tighter. "Oh, I'm sorry that I caused you so much pain," Sora said.

"Sora, never apologize for having somebody else care about you. If it wasn't for you, I probably would have died. You are the reason that I kept fighting, kept trying to survive against the odds," Riku said.

"Okay, Riku," Sora said, burying his face in Riku's shirt.

"Hey guys look," Yuffie said, pointing to a cave up ahead. They walked over to it, and when they looked inside, they saw Aerith there. She had a big pack of things, and it looked like she had camped out in the cave.

"Hello, boys," she said. She stood up, and took Sora off of Riku's back, and set him down on the ground next to her. "Riku, what happened to all of you? You all have cuts and scratches on you!" Aerith said as she looked at the big gash on Riku's leg. "Come here," she said as she took out a bandage and some cleaning supplies. She cleaned the gash, careful not to make it hurt, as Sora and Riku told their story. She wrapped up the cut, and then got out a couple of small potions. She handed one to Riku, and when he drank it, it made the pain in his leg go away. She handed the other potion to Sora, after hearing that he got a paralyzing spell put on him.

"Um, what is it?" Sora asked as he accepted the potion.

"It's a paralyze heal," Aerith said, as she bandaged the cut on Sora's neck. "There, all better. I'm sorry I didn't come meet you earlier, but we were swamped with work! There was a big flu bug going around, and a ton of people needed medicines. You guys are lucky you left when you did," Aerith said, putting away the supplies that she brought with her. "It sounds like you guys had quite an adventure! As long as you guys are alright."

"Tomorrow we have to move them to a safer place, right Aerith?" Yuffie asked.

"Yes, that's right. I think I know where to send you guys. Have either of you ever been to Traverse Town?"

"Traverse Town? Never been there," Riku said, deep in thought.

"Well, I have a temporary home there, and I think that it will be enough to hide you until we can either kill or arrest Sephiroth," Aerith said. "Tomorrow you will take a ship there, and then go to the small home in the third district. Leon, Cloud, Yuffie, and I will accompany you, but only I will be able to stay, because we heard that Sephiroth might be going back to Hallow Bastion, so we will be tracking him there," Aerith said as she got out some food. "So, who's hungry?"

"I am!" Sora said as she started the fire. They ate sandwiches and some vegetables that grew around there.

That night:

After dinner they decided that they should probably get some sleep because they had a lot of ground to travel tomorrow. They all set out their sleeping bags and lay down. Riku waited until he was sure that Aerith and Yuffie were asleep, before he quietly got up from his sleeping bag, and woke up Sora. He led the younger boy outside, and into the woods, and found a clearing. He stood there for a moment, looking at a very confused brunette.

"R-Riku, what are we –," Sora started, but was cut off as Riku put a finger to his lips. The silver haired boy just hugged Sora, and held him for a moment. Sora leaned into him, breathing in the scent of roses. He held him for awhile longer, before he finally spoke.

"Sora, I may not have shown it when I was fighting, but I was scared. I was scared that I was going to lose you. I don't know what I would have done then, if I had lost you. I was truly scared," Riku said, squeezing Sora tighter.

"Riku I –,"

"Shhh, Sora, don't talk. Just let me hold you a little longer," Riku said, suppressing the tears in his eyes. After awhile, Riku finally released Sora and hung his head, letting his hair cover his eyes. "Sora, I always want us to stay connected, even if we are far apart," he said, reaching into his pocket. "Somebody very special gave this to me when I was very young," Riku said, remembering his mother. "And now I want you to have it." He pulled out a small box and held it out to Sora.

Sora took it, and when he opened it, he let out a small gasp of surprise. He held in his hand a small crown necklace on a beautiful silver chain. It shimmered in the moonlight, the silver glistening. Sora was shocked that Riku had given this to him, and he was still standing there staring at it, when Riku gently took the necklace out of the box. He undid the clasp and reached around Sora's neck and fastened the necklace around him.

The younger boy looked into aquamarine eyes, and the proximity of their faces was just too much to bear. The cute little brunette pulled Riku closer, making their lips meet. Riku was surprised; Sora had never done anything so bold before. Sora opened his mouth, letting Riku's tongue explore the insides of his mouth. Riku wrapped his arms around Sora's waist, and they just stood like that, holding each other. To Riku, Sora tasted like chocolate and coffee, and to Sora, Riku tasted like sweet peppermint.

And to both of their disliking, they heard a loud howl coming from somewhere in the distance. They broke off their kiss, realizing that they were still in the forest. Sora and Riku gasped for air, licking their sore, bruised lips, trying to get the last taste of each other. They walked back to the cave, and they both got into Riku's sleeping bag. Sora wrapped his arms around Riku and kissed him one last time before he fell asleep. Riku wrapped his arms around Sora and pulled him closer before he too, fell asleep. And they stayed like that, in each other's arms.

The Next Day:

Sora woke up to the delicious smell of cooking food, and Sora sat up. Riku woke up soon afterwards, ripping him from a dream of him and Sora in a shower … The younger boy got up and went over to where the food was being cooked. He helped himself to some toasted bread and cheese, eating happily.

"So, did you sleep well?" Aerith asked with a small giggle.

"Yep," Riku replied, because Sora's mouth was full of food.

"Well, hurry up and eat, because we have to get moving soon," Aerith said as she cleaned up the cave. They ate quickly, and gathered up what was left in the cave, and they started on the road, Riku and Sora hand in hand, while Yuffie and Aerith chatted up ahead. The two boys traveled in silence, letting their eyes tell each other things that words just couldn't begin to tell. They continued on the road, and they reached the dojo at about dusk. They continued down the mountain, everyone wanting to get home as soon as they could. Yuffie was going to stay with Aerith, and Sora was going to stay at Riku's. They arrived in town at about midnight, and paused a moment as they pulled themselves out of the underground pathway into the alleyway.

"Okay, everyone meet at Leon and Cloud's house tomorrow at noon, okay?" Yuffie said as she started off, grabbing Aerith's wrist.

"Everybody get some sleep! And be ready to go tomorrow!" Aerith called as Yuffie tugged her along. Riku and Sora walked back to Riku's penthouse apartment. They arrived in the large apartment exhausted, and they both decided that they needed showers. Sora went first, and came out smelling like fresh roses. Riku went in next, and he too, smelled like roses. He went entered his own bedroom, and found the younger boy laying there, asleep. Riku walked over to the bedside, careful not to wake him.

Riku looked down at the sleeping brunette, whose soft lips looked so kissable when pouting, and instantly wished that he could make those lips his. Riku leaned down and brushed his own lips across the boy's, content with that small contact. He closed his eyes and tried to stand up straight, but was immensely surprised when he felt two arms wrap around his neck, holding his head close to the brunette's.

Riku opened his eyes and was immediately confronted by two shining orbs the color of the ocean. The boy's grip tightened, and their lips met, each kissing each other with a lust and a love so long denied them. They both knew that they were completely ready to give each other what they wanted and they knew that this night was completely and totally theirs.

Riku quickly regained his senses, and wrapped two strong arms around Sora. He sat up, bringing the other boy with him. The younger boy's hands tangled themselves in Riku's moonlight colored hair, finally being able to feel him like this for the first time. Riku's hands wandered down Sora's back, and finally reached the hem of the boy's shirt. He gently let his hands wander underneath it, causing a gasp to escape the boy's swollen and bruised lips. Riku took this opportunity to let his tongue slip into Sora's mouth, which the younger boy openly welcomed.

Riku's hands continued its journey, touching him in ways Sora hadn't even thought about, while his tongue explored every little bit of the cave that was Sora's mouth. He a low groan escaped from the brunette's throat. All of this was new to Sora; it was his first venture into the lands of love, lust, and passion.

The Next Day:

Sora awoke the next morning, and snuggled up closer to the warmth that was holding him so sweetly. He sat like that for a while, smelling the scent of roses, sweat, and sex. After long time, Riku started to awake, and Sora reluctantly pulled away from the silver haired boy. The older boy sat up and smiled down at the cute little brunette.

"Pretty wild night, huh?" Riku said, a seductive grin on his face.

"Yup," Sora replied, giving off his trademark smile. Riku pulled Sora closer, and rested his head on the other boy's. Sora liked that, and wrapped his arms around Riku. They stayed liked that for a few minutes before Riku finally decided to get up. Sora looked at the clock. By now it was 8:13, and they had to be ready to leave at 11:45 to get to Cloud and Leon's house. Riku got dressed, putting the clothes that he had tossed aside last night in the hamper, and went out into the living room. Sora eventually got up too, and got dressed, then went out into the living room where he saw Riku pulling out stuff for breakfast.

Sora walked over and helped set out plates and silverware, then went to the bathroom. He took a quick shower, just rinsing off the sweat he had accumulated through the night. When he came out, breakfast was ready, and he went over and sat across from Riku. He dug in, this being his first decent breakfast in about a week. The two ate in silence, and when Riku finished, he went and took a shower. Sora sat on the couch and turned on the T.V. He managed to watch the last fifteen minutes of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy before Riku came out of the shower.

"Come on, Sora, we should pack a little before we leave," Riku said as he went into his room. Sora turned off the T.V., and followed, and saw Riku pack a couple of sketchbooks, and some clothes. Riku turned to Sora and threw a bag at him. "Here," he said. "You can put some clothes and stuff in here. Feel free to go through the closet in your room. I hardly ever wear the stuff in there.

"Okay, Riku," Sora said and then went into the room. He selected a few clothes, and emptied the things in his old bag into the new one, because it was in better condition. He finished, then went into the living room, where he waited for Riku to come out. He looked at the clock, and by this time it was 9:47. Riku came out with a full bag at about 10:00. He sat down next to Sora, and turned the T.V. back on. He flipped through the channels, searching for a show to watch. He finally ended on a movie called Harry Potter, and set down the remote on the coffee table.

Sora watched Riku, his eyes seeming distant and thoughtful as he watched the movie before him. 'I wonder what he's thinking about,' Sora thought as he stared at the silver haired boy.

"What are you staring at, you weirdo?" Riku asked jokingly, snapping the brunette out of his thoughts.

"Nothing," Sora said with a grin. He scooted closer to Riku and rested his head on his shoulder. Riku put an arm around the younger boy and held him as they watched the movie.

That Afternoon:

Riku and Sora arrived at Leon's house and knocked loudly on the door. They heard a muffled "Come in," and the two boys entered the house. Inside they saw Yuffie, Aerith, Leon, and Cloud there, talking. All had a bag of some sort, but Aerith's pink one was the largest. The two teens pulled their bags inside, and waited for the adults to finish talking.

"So, ready to go?" Cloud asked.

"Yup," Riku said, patting his small suitcase.

"Alright, let's go," Leon said, as he walked out the door with his bag slung over his shoulder. Everybody followed, and they Sora and Riku got into Riku's car.

"Are you sure you don't want to ride with us, Leon?" Riku asked out the window with a smirk.

"I wouldn't ride with you if you paid me," Leon replied as he got into his car.

"Fine, but you'll miss out on all of the fun!" Riku said as he started the car. Sora gave Riku a confused look, and he said, "I'll tell you on the way."

They arrived at the airport and they borded the gummi ship at 2:15. They waited for the ship to take off, and eventually, it did. They had been on the voyage for half an hour, when Sora said, "Riku, I'm tired." For some reason, air travel made him drowsy.

Riku, whose seat was right next to Sora's said, "Well why don't you take a nap?"

"Okay," Sora replied, and laid his head on Riku's lap. He snuggled against Riku before closing his eyes, and smelled Riku's scent, clutching the necklace that Riku had given him. The older boy just smiled down at his little angel, and started stroking the boy's soft, luscious hair. He ran his fingers through the brown spiky locks, and relaxed against the seat. He took out a sketchbook and pencil, and started drawing Sora, who looked so cute when he was sleeping. He drew a few more pictures afterwards, then finally decided that he needed a nap as well. He leaned against Sora, and fell asleep. But before he drifted off, he could've sworn he heard Aerith saying, "Aww, how cute!"
