NYMPHETAMINE
SoraSakura: Sora and the others get payback on Sephiroth next chapter, which is a pretty good thing.
dark sorceress of egypt: XD Poor Sephy...first I beat him in KH2 on level 60, and then he gets whacked in the head with newspaper and his feet stuck in cement. I hope he doesn't go emo like Cloud! I think Sephiroth is an even bigger asshole in this chapter, but in the next (and final) chapter, his ego gets deflated tremendously.
ArkofPathos: Chibi eyes...getting...weaker...must...update. If Riku was alive, he'd be really pissed off about this chapter. Then again, so would Axel and Demyx.
OtakuLady: 8 out of 10? Thanks a bunch! I was hoping someone would come and describe the city as being dark, like I intended it to be. I wanted it to seem like Traverse Town, but it didn't turn out that way at all.
A little warning,
this chapter is a little bit on the short side.

Chapter 5: Opposites
A week had passed since Sora ran away, and Aerith was worried. Cloud never called her to let her know that he was okay. She bit her lip and broke down crying again. Her two boys, her only children, were in one of the most dangerous places on the planet. She knew that there was a small chance that either of them would come back, but that didn't stop her from hoping that they would be back in her arms soon, safe and sound.
&&&&&&&
Riku and the rest of Unstable had been looking all over Valentino for a clue, anything, that would give them a lead to Sora's location. Roxas and Zexion lead most of the searches, but always came empty handed. The group had been losing their spirit, but refused to give up until they knew Sora was dead.
&&&&&&&
Cloud and Squall weren't having any luck either. They were wandering the town's crowded streets, hoping to find Sora in the crowd. Cloud hung his head in shame - he should've protected Sora. He should've been there. "It's all my fault," Cloud whispered.
Squall caught the whisper and dragged Cloud into an alleyway. "Cloud, listen. You have to be strong."
Cloud fell to his knees sobbing. "What if he's dead, Squall! It's my fault."
Squall knelt down beside his boyfriend, tilting up his chin so they could see eye to eye. "Cloud, he's alive. He won't die that easily."
"But-"
Squall shut him up with a kiss.
&&&&&&&
"What are you going to do to me?" Sora yelled at Sephiroth.
Sephiroth didn't feel the need to answer. Sora was chained to the wall. Sephiroth was sitting at a table with Kadaj and Yazoo. He felt that he had more power than Sora. "We're going to kill you. Tomorrow," Sephiroth announced. Kadaj smirked while Yazoo smiled. "Tomorrow is your judgement day," snickered Kadaj.
Sora frowned at the laughter. He usually didn't mind being laughed at, but being chained and laughed at was another thing. "You are sick bastards," Sora spat.
The laughter stopped. Sephiroth's eyes narrowed dangerously as he rose from his chair. "What did you say?" he demanded.
Sora didn't hesitate. "You. Are. Sick. Bastards."
Sephiroth let his anger out, slapping Sora across the face. "Kadaj, Yazoo!"
In an instant, the said teenagers were behind Sephiroth. Both had daggers that gleamed in the sunlight. Sora winced inwardly as he saw the sharp edges. He felt the sleeve of his t-shrit that he had been wearing be ripped off.
Kadaj and Yazoo didn't hesitate. They began branding Sora - this time, with a different brand. Sora hissed in pain as the daggers cut a pentagram into his arm. Sephiroth watched in amusement as blood dripped to the floor, staining it crimson. Kadaj chuckled, admiring his work. Yazoo stared on.
&&&&&&&
Sora felt himself being kicked and opened his eyes. "Wake up, bitch," Sephiroth commanded, glaring at Sora, who gulped nervously in response. "It's your judgement day!" Kadaj chuckled, tilting up Sora's chin so they met eye-to-eye. "Do you think he's been a good boy, Yazoo?"
"Hmm..." was Yazoo's response. "He'll be able to see father before us."
"But at least we will not be recieving any punishment," Sephiroth reassured him.
Sora squirmed against the chains binding him. Sephiroth watched, amused. He clicked his tongue, causing Yazoo and Kadaj to unfasten the chains that bound Sora to the wall. Almost a week of no use of his legs caused his knees to buckle, sending him to the floor. Kadaj chuckled before handcuffing Sora's hands behind his back. Sephiroth put a black leather collar that had the word "Tenshi" engraved around Sora's neck. He attached a chain to it and pulled up, causing Sora to choke slightly. "Up, slave," Sephiroth commanded.
Sora struggled, but couldn't make it up. He was too weak from little use of his muscles recently and lack of food, water, and sleep. He was about to pass out when a kick to the ribs managed to snap him back to reality. Kadaj jerked up on the chain that connected the handcuffs, allowing Sora a little help in standing. "Sephiroth..." Sora was not broken, yet.
"It will be painless, Sora. Well, it would have, but I have to take away the pleasure because you are not obeying my wills," Sephiroth exclaimed, anger intertwining with his voice. "Kadaj, Yazoo, make sure no one of Unstable is around. I am going to take Sora to the square."
Kadaj and Yazoo nodded, swiftly walking into the moonlight, Sephiroth and Sora following minutes later.
&&&&&&&
"Do you see them?" Demyx asked, eyes straining to make out shapes in the darkness.
"No," Axel said. "But he's here. The New Year is tonight, and it's our last chance to save him."
"But there's no chance-" Demyx started.
"-That we're going to fail," Axel ended, pulling Demyx into a kiss.
Demyx broke away as he felt his lungs were going to burst. "I've...always liked you. As in, more than a friend," Axel explained. "I know we're already going out, but...I love you more than any boyfriend would."
"Love you too, Axel," Demyx said, pulling Axel into another kiss.
Axel's mind suddenly seemed to be unable to process thoughts as Demyx's soft lips collided with his own. Demyx licked Axel's bottom lip as an invitation that Axel quickly accepted. Their tongues seemed to dance an ancient dance as their mouths were explored.
A gunshot pierced the night air followed by cheers of a crowd below managed to break Axel and Demyx apart. Axel stood wide-eyed as he saw Sephiroth leading Sora into the crowd. "Quick, we gotta tell Zexion," Axel managed to spit out as he dug out his phone.
"I'm afraid that's not an option." Axel and Demyx heard the voice from behind them, and they turned around to see Kadaj and Yazoo walking towards them.
"Don't even think about it," Kadaj said, referring to Axel's cell phone. Axel was shocked as he felt the wind of the bullet against his skin. The phone shattered into pieces.
"I don't think He would be happy with the idea of ripping him out of a sacrifice," Yazoo remarked.
"Sephiroth wouldn't be either..." Kadaj chuckled as Yazoo readied his katana.
Out of nowhere, Axel's chakrams appeared into his hands, likewise with Demyx's sitar.
Axel decided to try to take down Kadaj as Demyx went after Yazoo.
By some miracle, Axel's chakram managed to deflect some bullets that Kadaj shot at him. Axel's eye wandered and saw that one edge of the building was higher than the other, and it could make to a perfect advantage. Axel jumped back, landing on the ledge. Kadaj didn't seem stunned in the least as he reloaded his gun, dodging Axel's chakrams. Without warning, Kadaj sheathed his gun and charged at Axel. Axel didn't have much time to brace himself, but he did his best. As Kadaj made contact with the smaller body, strong hands dug into Kadaj's shoulderblades. Kadaj's eyes narrowed as he realized Axel's plan. Kadaj remembered that when he was little, Axel told him that he always had a box of matches in his left pocket. That's where Kadaj's hand went, digging through the fabric to find that little box. Everything seemed to slow down as he pulled out a match and managed to catch it ablaze just as Axel hit the ground. The box of matches slipped out of Kadaj's hand, some matches igniting. Both Kadaj and Axel's eyes widened as a match sunk inside a modern television sized container.
Momentarily distracted by the explosion, Demyx ran over the edge of the building, shocked at the flames that danced ever closer to the sky. Yazoo smiled grimly as he brought the katana down upon Demyx's exposed back. Upon sensing something that he couldn't put a feeling to, he instinctively flipped over so his stomache was facing the night sky and parried the attack with his sitar. Yazoo wasn't expecting that much strength from the teenager and barely dodged his own blade as it bounced back at him. Using the split second shock, Demyx dropped his sitar and grabbed Yazoo's katana, forcing it into Yazoo's heart as flames surrounded their bodies.
Ignoring the intense heat, Demyx opened his cell phone and texted "Valentino Square" to Zexion.
"Guess I can't see how this turns out," Demyx said with a smile. "But everything will be fine."
Demyx refused to let himself scream as the flames burnt him to death.
&&&&&&&
"You okay, Zexion?" Roxas asked, waving a hand on Zexion's face.
Zexion's eyes snapped open. "I...Something's wrong. I'm going to call Demyx."
Roxas handed Zexion his phone. Flipping it open, he found he had a text message. "Valentino Square..." muttered Zexion.
The room was silent for a moment.
"Valentino Square!" yelled Zexion, the point of the message dawning on him.
"Maybe that's where they're taking Sora!" Riku said, jumping out of his seat.
-------------------------------------------------
Sorry to all the Demyx, Axel, Kadaj and Yazoo fans. And what Yazoo was referring when he said, "I don't think He would be happy with us ripping him out of a sacrifice," was the devil, Satan, whatever you want to call it. So in a way, the group of Unstable are somewhat like Satanists. Oh, and there's one more chapter left. That's right, there's only 6 chapters. I originally intended chapter 6 and chapter 5 to be one long chapter, but I kind of crossed that out. I just wanted a little bit of cliffy, but it's not really much of one since the reviews just keep on pouring in.
If you don't know what I
want by now, I'll say it again:
3 reviews
And a big thanks to everyone that reviewed so far!
