Cloud stood up as they landed. He wasn't sure where they were but he had the feeling that it was the right place to find Ansem and Sora. Riku and Leon followed him off the ship and walked up beside him. The place seemed to have heartless layer written all over it. They walked forward, ready to go into battle if necessary. Riku still felt as though Cloud still didn't believe him. He had no trouble believing this even if Leon had 'persuaded' Cloud to believe him. He really didn't know what Ansem was talking about. He glanced at the blonde out of the corner of his eye. They blonde was giving him a suspicious look that confirmed Riku's suspicions. He sighed as he moved his eyes back to the pathway they were heading down. As Leon had said, he'll believe him sooner or later, or something along those lines.
Sora let more tears fall from his eyes as Ansem thrusted harder than ever before. He seemed to be enjoying the pain Sora was in. All the more reason he thrusted so roughly. Sora gritted his teeth in effort not to cry out. He failed miserably and Ansem took the opportunity to glue his mouth to Sora's sliding his tongue in quickly. Sora tried struggling but he was only denied the motion by Ansem who pushed harder on his, his back slamming against the wall. He cried out again, letting Ansem slip his tongue in again. This was torture but if it was what he had to go through to keep the balance between light and dark he would deal with it. A light shone in the room, interrupting Ansem from his sick 'fun' with Sora. Sora thanked the gods as Ansem turned and faced the newcomer. There stood Sephiroth, hands on his hips with eyebrows raised. "I'm sorry to interrupt your torturing session but the guests have arrived and are coming this way. Supposedly to get the keyblade master." He said. Ansem nodded his head and pulled his boxers back on. He turned back to Sora. "We will continue this session after I am done with them." He said as he placed one last, rough kiss on Sora mouth and moved away with a smirk.
They finally reached the castle and looked up at it. The thing was huge. "How are we ever going to be able to find him in that huge thing?" asked Riku with a groan. "I was thinking you would know the way." Cloud said with a cruel look in his eyes. "Cloud!" Leon said. Cloud backed down from the argument and began walking into the castle only to be greeted by a one winged man standing beside Ansem. "Welcome! I'm happy to be your host. Too bad you won't be able to enjoy this as much as I will." He said before he snapped his fingers calling forth his own little army of some of the toughest heartless. The three immediately got ready for battle and rushed forward, Cloud desperate to reach his brother somewhere in the castle. Riku fought just as hard to save his lover and friend. Even if they weren't exactly on agreeing terms, the two fought together only thinking of Sora. Riku soon came to the back of the army and broke free of their attacks. "Cloud! Leon!" he called. They looked at him. "Go ahead and save Sora! We'll be there as soon as possible!" Cloud shouted, surprising Riku at how willingly he would let him be the one to save Sora. He smiled at him before racing down the halls, sword in hand in case any enemies appeared. As he raced down the hallways, time seemed to go in slow motion. He felt slow and defenseless. Then he realized it. It was a spell to slow time. Ansem was playing dirty. Riku Closed his eyes and began to think of Sora. A light began to shine around him. He covered his eyes with his free hand and stopped. When he looked back up, there was a thin strip of floor that seemed to lead to Sora. Swirling walls of light and liquid laced the edges of it. He blinked in disbelief. "What just happened?" he asked himself. He shook his head and began running down the hall, following the path that was made for him. Soon, he came to a door with the heartless symbol carved onto it with strange characters running along the sides of it. He pushed the door open and looked up. There he was. He had found Sora. He rushed to his boyfriend's side in shock. "What did he do to you?" he asked, worry completely apparent in his voice. Sora slowly lifted his head, showing bruises and cut on his now thin face. "Sora!" Riku cried as he began hacking at the chains crazily. Finally, Sora fell to the ground, not even crying out in pain. "Sora? Are you all right?" Riku asked as he bent over his naked friend. "Won't let him hear me cry, won't let him see me cry. Won't allow him that pleasure. I can't" he ranted. Riku stared at his friend in concern. He pulled Sora into a comforting hug. Sora, feeling the warmth of his body and the familiar voice, relaxed a bit. Riku didn't know what Ansem had done but he had a hunch. He would kill Ansem for this.
Sorry it took so long to put up this chapter. It wouldn't let me for some reason. Well, at least it's up now. Sorry to keep you waiting!)
