Author's note: I have sadly decided to stop posting on my unedited site, at least until I get more reviews. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The sun is shining it's morning light into the room. As he lies in bed holding Sora, Riku asks himself, 'What the hell are you getting yourself into?'
Sora makes a funny noise as he stretches, slowly coming awake minutes later. His movements cause his bare butt to rub against Riku's crotch, and he can feel Riku erection as his clothed penis strains for release. 'He's so fun to tease', Sora thinks to himself as he breaks away from Riku and prances toward to the bathroom.
"Hey, get dressed and meet me in the garage." Riku calls to him from outside the bathroom.
"I don't know how to get to the garage," he yells back over the splashing of the shower.
"Pull it up on the Hologlasses and let them show you where it is."
Several minutes later Sora enters the garage in the same clothes he's had on for the past several days. "So how many cars do you have?" he asks in awe as he scans the millions of dollars worth of exotic and domestic cars surrounding him.
Riku glances up at Sora from the pump where he is filling up his BMW. "Well, let's see…seventy-eight cars, sixteen motorcycles, two jets, and one helicopter. But, this is my favorite. It's a 2004 BMW Z4. And, it's over 20 years old and in perfect condition. It was actually the first car I ever owned." As he gets into the car and starts up the engine, he signals for Sora to hop in.
"So, where are we going?" Sora asks as Riku pulls out of the front gate of the estate.
"I have some business to take care of at Gekkotech Plaza West. I was thinking while we are there you could pick out some new clothes and maybe some other things you might like. And, I figure we might as well use the 90 minute drive to get to know each other better. It's been three days and I don't even know what school you go to, what food you like, or much of anything else about you for that matter."
"Well I know almost everything about you. You've been in like so many technology and computer magazines and I've read them all," Sora says boasting as if he was Riku's biggest fan.
"I suppose you even recorded my biography that was shown on the History Channel?" he candidly jokes.
"Actually, I did ."
"I hope you're not being serious. I may have to call my security team and tell them I have a twelve year old stalker."
Sora sticks his tongue out at Riku and makes a funny face. Riku follows suit flashing the same face back at Sora. Just as Riku turns his attention back to driving…
"DEER!" Sora screams as a deer casually crosses the two lane road.
"Shit!" Slamming on the brakes, Riku pulls the steering wheel hard left sending the car into a one eighty spin. The Z4 skids to a stop in the middle of the road barely missing the deer.
After several moments of just sitting in shock and letting his breathing return to normal, Riku speaks up. "How about I keep my eyes on the road from now on?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Outta my way!" Riku screams at pedestrians as he flies through the parking lot of Gekkotech Plaza . He brings the car to a screeching halt in valet parking. A nervous looking boy of about 19 is already approaching the car. "Stay here and just enjoy the show," he quietly says to Sora as he opens his own door and steps out of car.
The valet meets Riku at the curb just as he closes his door for himself, "Umm, good day, Mister Knight."
"Son, what's your name?"
"Pe .. Pe .. Pence, Sir." The boy stutters nervously as looks down at the name tag on his shirt to make sure he got his name correct.
"Well Pence , I don't know where you worked before, but here we greet our guests at their car and open their door for them. Is that understood?"
"Sure thing. I mean, Yes sir! I'll be sure to get it right from now on."
"Make sure that you do."
"Is there anything else I can get for you sir?" Pence is so nervous that tiny beads of sweat are forming on his forehead.
"Well for starters, you can let my passenger out. Oh, and , you can also park my car."
"Yes sir! Right away sir!" he says as he lets Sora out of the car and then drives away. Riku and Sora head toward the entrance where a large well dressed black man meets them and shakes Riku' hand.
"Morning, . How's it going today?"
"It's going fine sir. Will you require a formal escort today?"
"No thanks. I think I can handle the crowds on my own." He rarely uses his team of body guards except for public appearances.
"Oh, Auron , please meet Sora. He is to be treated at all times as if he were me. Is that understood?"
"Yes sir. It's a pleasure to meet you Sora." Auron says as he turns his attention back to Riku. "Sir, may I recommend that you have a security escort anyway. The amount of death threats you have received is up twenty percent from last month."
Riku receives death threats all the time. Most of them are merely just threats and rarely was one acted on. In the past five years only two attempts have actually been made of the several hundred he receives each month.
" Auron , I appreciate your concern. In fact, that's what I pay you for the last I checked, and I'm glad to see you earning your salary. But I'm a big boy and I think I can take care of myself."
Auron knows better than to argue with Riku, "I understand, however, may I at least suggest taking the private corridor to your office. To by-pass the crowds and ensure you are kept in a secure environment."
Riku begins to get irritated at Auron 's desire to not allow him to do as he wants, but relents .. "Fine, I'm sick of standing here, let's go." He walks up to the wall beside the main door and swipes a card in front of it. The wall swings away revealing a large polished marble corridor. "Shall we?" he says to Sora and Auron as he steps inside leaving them behind. The two of them quickly fall in behind Riku as the door silently closes.
-------------------------------
Xemnas sits in his car watching with binoculars as Riku, his bodyguard, and that boy enters one of the secure walkways that run throughout Gekkotech Plaza . He holds his COM link up to his mouth and hits the ON button. "Marluxia , this is control. Do you copy?"
"I copy control," a rough sounding voice answers.
"Riku has taken Corridor B. He has one bodyguard with him, and there is also a boy. The boy is not to be harmed under any circumstance. If you hit them at the Corridor B and A intersect you should come out directly in front of them."
"I copy control. Over and out."
Riku, Sora and Auron have been walking for several minutes down the empty corridor. Riku designed them as a way to move around without having to put up with the crowds, and they were hardly used except by himself .
'Perfect. I'll hit them and they will never see it coming', Marluxia tells himself as he jogs down corridor B toward the intersection of corridor A. He steps into the intersection about thirty feet away from the trio walking toward him.
Auron is the first person to notice Marluxia in the intersection. He motions for Riku and Sora to stay behind as he moves ahead to see what is going on. "Sir excuse me, but you're not allowed in here."
Auron hardly finishes his warning before Marluxia raises his pistol and puts a bullet directly in his chest. Riku picks Sora up with one hand and throws him backward twenty feet into the safety of another intersection. At the same time he reaches into his jacket, pulls out his .40 caliber Glock handgun and fires one shot toward Marluxia . Either by sheer luck or skill, the bullet from Riku' gun hits Marluxia 's pistol knocking it out if his hand rendering it useless. Riku holsters his pistol as Marluxia insanely begins to charge. Riku doesn't even move as he waits for his attacker.
Marluxia quickly crosses the twenty feet to Riku. As he gets within arms reach, Riku effortlessly pivots on the balls of his feet to the side of Marluxia , and delivers a hammer fist to his head. The blow is enough to send him off balance and to the to floor. Marluxia turns the fall into an awkward shoulder roll and comes to his feet facing Riku.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Marluxia spats out as he draws his fists into a boxing position. Riku smiles and casually stands waiting.
"Pardon me, but I have an excellent memory, and I don't recall us ever meeting before."
"You killed my father, Vexen Felth, you son of a bitch." Marluxia screams as he throws a bone shattering right hook at Riku's head. Riku catches his hand, and delivers a sharp kick to Marluxia 's leg, snapping the bone. Marluxia screams in pain as he goes down to his knees on the floor.
"As I remember, your father stuck a gun in his mouth and blew his brains out… very messy." Riku moves behind Marluxia faster than seems possible for someone his size.
" You ! You ruined him !"
" Your father was one of my software programmers. He bet that he was smarter than me, and decided to compete against me with his creations on the open market. A very foolish mistake. In the end, he was in debt millions of dollars and his company bankrupt."
Riku places his hands on top of and below Marluxia 's head. He is just about to give the twist that would break this young mans neck and end his life as he looks up and sees Sora standing in the corridor. Tears are streaming down Sora's face as he stands there in shock shaking his head and mouthing the word, ' no '.
'Damnit, how can I resist a face like that', Riku thinks to himself.
"To contend with Riku Knight is to lose . Never forget that!" he says driving his elbow to the back of Marluxia 's head, knocking him unconscious.
Sora runs to Riku and leaps into his arms as Marluxia 's body falls to the floor. "It's okay champ, nothing to worry about," he says as he gives Sora a kiss on the forehead.
"What about Auron ?" Sora asks as Riku carries him.
"He was wearing a bullet proof vest so he should be fine. We just have to wait for him to wake up," Riku says as he walks to where Auron is laying on the floor. Six guards armed with sub-machine guns rush toward Riku moments later.
"Sir, are you okay?" the lead guard says to Riku.
"Yes I'm fine."
"Do you need medical attention?"
"I said I'm fine! What I need is to know who gave this man access to these corridors, and who paid him to kill me."
"Sir?" the guard asks confused.
"Someone on the inside had to give him help. I want to know who that someone is. One way or another, I will find out, and when I do find out, there is going to be serious hell to pay!"
Author's Apology:
Sorry for the delay on this chapter, but I got like three done already and if I get good reviews I'll post them.
