Disclaimer: To quote something that I just made up. "Me no ownee… You no sue…um…ee… ahem…ya."
Flesh is as good as money chapter 4:
Riku and Cloud lead the now calm Sora through the jail to the mess hall. Food always seemed to make people feel better. Sora walked just a bit behind them with his head down. The kid would get over the shock pretty soon, everyone does. But not everyone was sold to the basterd known as Ansem. Riku sighed and looked over to Cloud who had returned to his 'I could care less about you' attitude.
"Pst. What was with the whole 'hunny' junk back there eh mister I don't care?" Riku whispered earning a sharp jab in the side from the blonde.
"Just helping someone who was suffering…jeez…can't I guy care about someone once in a while?"
"Um…What does this cafeteria look like?" Asked Sora from a bit behind them.
"It's a really big hall with tables and people…why?"
"Cause we just passed it…twice." The two older boys stopped and turned around.
"We knew that we were just…um…" Cloud began.
"There's really no way to dignify that…sorry Cloud." Said Riku with a grin.
"HEY WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOING OUT HERE! ITS DINNER TIME SO BE GRATE FULL AND GET THE FCK IN THERE AND EAT GAWD DAMN IT!" Yelled a guard from down the hall.
"Lets go before Mr. Fun police over there decides to play baseball with our heads." Riku said shoving Cloud and Sora into the giant mess hall.
Sora looked around the lunchroom and his stomach twisted into a knot. There were so many people, who knew what they had done to get in here. He looked up at Riku who was scanning the room.
"We're in luck, the Heartless don't seem to be in here. Come on, we can eat in peace." He murmured approaching the line to get food. The other two boys followed suit. The supper was some sort of chilli like substance and a wilted salad. Sora picked up a small portion of salad but refused the chilli.
"Don't you want any meat?" Asked Cloud helping himself to the less than appealing looking meal.
"No. I may be in jail but my dad still has ways to get to me. Its better if I just stick to my regular diet."
"Whatever floats your boat…." Riku said turning to walk over to a table.
When they got close enough Sora noted the other occupants. A tall teen with aqua marine eyes and silver hair…almost like an older version of Riku. Next there was a tall boy with dirty blonde hair. On the other side of the table was a tanned boy with red hair and a brown haired boy with a scar across his face.
Cloud and Riku sat down and motioned for Sora to follow. The brunette hesitated, looking warily at the people at the table.
"No worries! We won't bite!" Said the boy with the dirty blonde hair.
"Except for Sephy-kun that is!" Cloud said grinning madly. The bigger version of Riku smacked him upside the head.
"OW! Hey what was that for?"
"Never…and I mean NEVER call me that again…" He said glaring daggers at the blonde. Sora put down his tray and sat in between Riku and Cloud. He glanced around nervously and Cloud smiled.
"I guess introductions are in order? Okay, the homicidal big version of Riku is Sephy…I mean Sephiroth, and no worries he isn't in here for killing, this time he's in for illegal drug dealing." Sephiroth nodded at Sora and Cloud continued.
" The hyper blonde is Tidus, he's just a tad bit pyro…hence he's stuck in here." Tidus gave Sora a friendly smile, which he graciously returned.
"The guy who looks like his head's on fire is Waka, He got in a fist fight at a blitz ball tourney and man…it was not pretty!" Waka looked very intimidating…Sora looked at him with an unsure smile and scooted closer to Riku.
"And last but not least we have scar-face!"
"Watch it Strife…"
"I mean Leon…he's in for 'disturbing the peace and inflicting bodily harm' which basically means he got in a fight with some asshole and won." Leon glared at Cloud and then returned to his meal.
"Now that you know all about us, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?" Tidus said taking a bite of the salad.
Sora looked down at the ground. "I…I wouldn't want to bother you with some stupid sob story…"
"Oh come on! We're here to listen! Let's hear all about your sob story of a life!" Tidus prodded the boy slightly with his spoon.
"Um…if you say so. When I was younger I had everything…a mom who loved me, friends at school, good grades, everything. But then, my mom died, and my dad took over custody. He's a drug dealer, majerly. He had loads of cash but it just wasn't enough for him, so he decided that I should go into a certain…profession." Sora turned crimson and fiddled with his T-shirt.
"What did he make you do ya? Become a maid?" Asked Waka with a thick accent.
"No, he had me work at a strip bar." Sora said quietly. Sephiroth looked up.
"Are you serious?" Sora nodded quietly and continued.
"So I've been working like that for about three years. He pulled me outta my school and stuck me in my uncle's correctional institution for boys, so he could "borrow" me whenever he needed a hand in his 'Job'. He became in debt of the heartless. Threatened my life. Poured alcohol down my throat and shoved me in a moving car, and now I'm here and I'm supposed to find this Ansem guy…" He said taking a small mouthful of salad. The other occupants at the table stared at him.
"Wow."
"So you're the guy the heartless are after?"
"Uh huh."
"Well you had better hide cause here they come."
"SHIT!"
