(Riku's POV…right after dropping Sora off)

Riku's grip on the steering wheel didn't lessen as he watched his brunette haired lover walk into the large glass double doors that marked the entrance to the school. There was a slight nagging sensation in the pit of his stomach that something wasn't right, and Riku relied heavily on his instincts. Not following them was a mistake you couldn't afford in his line of work. He waited for awhile, hoping to see one of his siblings soon. When he saw Sora stop to talk to someone with pale blonde hair, Riku relaxed marginally and peeled out of the parking lot with a screech. If anything was amiss, Namine would text or call him. His sister was very observant and would pick up on things immediately. Kadaj was probably informing the principal of Sora's possible withdrawal because of the potential danger he could be in. That didn't mean Riku felt reassured. He was going to go to Halloween Town to pick up a few of his weapons and change vehicles just in case things became sticky. He wasn't taking any chances.

As he was riding, he felt his pocket vibrate.

There's not that many people that call me this early in the morning… he thought as he pulled his phone out. Seeing his father's name flash across the screen made him hesitant to answer the phone. His father calling this early in the morning meant that there was business that had to be taken care of. With what was going on with Sora right now, Riku really didn't want to deal with his family right now. He answered it anyway, knowing it would cause more problems for him to ignore it.

"Hello." He made sure to keep his voice polite, not letting his father hear the annoyance at the distraction he was causing.

"Hello Riku. It's been awhile since you've called me. Your mother was starting to wonder if you'd forgotten all about us." His father's voice was naturally firm and commanding, even without him trying.

"Sorry. I've been a bit busy lately."

"Yes, quite understandable. Our family isn't known for idleness; which is why I decided to call you. Why don't you stop by the house now? I have some things I want to discuss with you; things that cannot wait." The way his father spoke let Riku know that there was no room to say "no." There never was any room to say no when his father suggested something.

"Alright, I'm on my way." As soon as Riku hit the 'end' button, he rested his forehead on his steering wheel for a moment.

"Shit."

-(Still Riku's POV)

Riku waved to the guard at the gate of the front entrance to his house as he drove up the smoothly paved driveway. The driveway seemed to stretch on for miles as he passed the immaculate lawn, perfectly trimmed shrubbery, and opulent statues. Riku was thankful that Sora wasn't a materialistic person. Riku wasn't one for all of the flamboyancy that his parents used when it came to the family wealth, and it really was a relief that Sora appreciated even the smallest things. That didn't mean that Riku didn't like to spoil his younger lover when he could though. Seeing the smile and the oceanic eyes light up made every dollar worth it that he spent on his younger lover.

He brought himself out of his thoughts as he parked in front of the large set of stairs that lead to the entrance of his house. He wasn't even out of his car for a full minute before a valet appeared and drove towards the side garage to park his Ferrari. Riku rolled his eyes and walked inside. The valets loved driving the family cars. Riku sometimes wondered if they fantasized about racing them.

"Good morning Master Riku!" one of the maids, he couldn't remember her name, greeted him with a sultry smile. She looked at him coyly with light brown eyes before speaking. "Your father is in the atrium having breakfast with your mother." Riku nodded and veered to the left, going towards the atrium. He heard the light click of heels and realized she was walking behind him. He stopped walking and turned towards her. She smiled at him again and stepped closer, automatically assuming he was about to play into her obvious wishes. Something inside of him smirked, and with his control he was able to stop the smirk from rising to the surface and light laughter from bubbling from his lips.

"Look umm…" he tried to grasp for her name in his mind. Was it Ava? Anna? Ariel? It was something with an 'A', he knew that much.

"Jenny."

Well he was wrong on that end. He continued on. "Look, Jenny. I noticed your subtle looks at me, and you are an attractive girl, but I'm not interested." Jenny looked disappointed, but she turned around and walked back towards the way the two had come. He was glad she easily accepted his answer. Some people that had come on to him were a lot more persistent, despite his best efforts to beat them away. He shook his head at the thought and resumed walking. When he arrived to the atrium, he saw his parents sitting at a round table each with an untouched hot breakfast in front of each of them. A steaming plate of french toast, bacon, eggs, and ham was sitting in front of an empty seat, obviously intended for him.

Riku walked over to the table and gave his mother a light kiss to her forehead and an acknowledging nod to his father before sitting down.

"Good morning Riku. How are things?" his mother asked him as she used her small hands to begin to cut into her food. Riku pushed down his aggravation at the pleasantries, and decided to play along. He just hoped this didn't take too long. He was starting to feel anxious.

"They're well. I have a few galleries interested in some of my latest work. I'm trying to debate which gallery gets what." He answered her and then popped a piece of bacon in his mouth. He looked at his father and noticed he had yet to start eating. Instead, he was calmly sipping on his coffee with a deeply contemplative look in his eyes. That look worried Riku. Usually if his father had business, he'd let Riku and his mother talk a bit before joining the conversation. After the pleasantries were put aside, he'd then start talking about what needed to be done. However, the fact that his father had yet to even speak let Riku know something was about to happen, and he probably wasn't going to like it one bit.

"Well that's nice. Maybe you can help me on a few designs for my winter line. It's only September, so I'm a bit behind but I think-"

"Tell us about your lover."

If Riku hadn't been trained to keep up appearances, he would have spit out the orange juice he had in his mouth. He glanced at his mother and by her slightly widened eyes, he could tell she wasn't expecting that either.

"Dear, what are you-"

"No. He's not getting out of this. Riku, tell us about your lover."

Riku set his cup down and stared at his father straight in the eyes. If he showed any hesitation or weakness to answer, his father would find a way to make him regret it, son or not.

"What do you want to know?"

"A name for starters, and answer honestly. Time is of the essence today Riku, and I don't have time for trivial lies." Sephiroth put his mug down and the slight glare in his eyes told Riku he better answer—fast.

"His name's Sora Hidari. We've been dating for about three years. He lives with me in Radiant Garden. He's eighteen and plans on going to college so he can study to become a social worker."

His mother pursed her lips, and his father's face had no expression. His mother spoke first.

"Why did you keep this from us for so long? We knew you were in a relationship, but we didn't know it was that serious. I mean, you two are living together!"

Riku shrugged slightly. "You both know I can be sort of a recluse, and you never really bothered to ask about my relationship."

Sephiroth sighed. "I didn't ask Riku I didn't realize what such relations would cost our family. I've known you've been dating the young man since his mother was attacked yesterday."

"You've known? It doesn't bother you? What do you mean cost our family?"

His father shook his head. "Riku, there are five of you. I know Cloud is dating someone of the same gender also, but I still have three other kids that are able to give me grandchildren. Also, with your current partner, you'll be able to produce grandchildren too."

"What do you mean? I'm not trying to sound like I'm being a smart mouth, but Sora is a male. Okay, what's going on? I know you wouldn't bring up my relationship like this unless it's crucial or it'll affect you in some way."

Sephiroth massaged his temples. "Riku there's something that's going on that's bigger than your relationship, and I want you to listen carefully before you run off and do something idiotic."

Riku nodded slowly, albeit hesitantly and Sephiroth continued.

"Well you see Riku, your uncles managed to find a way to put a wretch in my life again with their psychotic antics. Years ago, your uncles decided to keep a pet."

Riku shuddered at that. He saw firsthand how his uncles treated their "pets."

"The pet they had chosen happened to be the great nephew of a very important associate of mine. They had managed to take him while my associate and I were at dinner and it took a lot of hours for us to find him." Riku pushed his plate away, unable to eat at the thoughts going through his head at what the man had been put through. He understood all too well…

Sephiroth kept going, not noticing Riku's train of thoughts.

"My brothers had done something to him, made him different from other pets. They gave him unsual abilities. By the time we helped him escape, we couldn't get the abilities out. Now, the man's dead but his two children carry on the side effects of what your uncles have done. They're each able to carry children, and they're slightly more enhanced than normal people. The thing is-both children are male. With abilities like that, they're very valuable in the black market. With my position, I'm able to keep the news from getting out above ground, but in the underground dealings, it's already too late."

"Why do you think I'll go off and do something idiotic?" Riku asked his father cautiously. He didn't like where this was going.

"Yesterday, Aikido Hidari, actually named Aerith, the mother of one of the children was attacked. Your brother has a good reason to believe the reason she was attacked because the assailants were trying to find her son to sell on the black market."

"Sora…"

"Yes, Sora. When your brother told me about the incident yesterday, he mentioned Sora knew the twins. You already know how sensitive your sister is and having a death of someone she holds dear would be traumatic for her. Kadaj is somewhat fond of him as well. I looked into it more and saw the guy Cloud's dating is Sora's cousin. If that wasn't enough incentive for me to become involved, an important associate of mine named Itachi Uchiha stressed the importance of keeping Sora safe. Apparently Sora's brother is a target as well."

"Why would Uchiha care about Sora's brother?"

"Because Sora's brother, Naruto, is dating Itachi's brother Sasuke. You might know of his reputation? He's in the same line of work as you. His name's Ethereal Perfection. The death of Naruto would affect Sasuke's ability to do his job. Naruto and Sora are also related to Itachi's right hand man Deidara. Because of our prosperous work relationship and the good ties I have with Aqua City because of him, I agreed to help."

"And you figured out with my serious relationship with Sora, I'd automatically help at all costs."

Sephiroth nodded. "Yes. Sora doesn't know he's a walking target. Aerith was going to tell him yesterday while you were out, but obviously she didn't get to. Naruto, Sasuke, Yazoo, and some escorts are going to one of Cloud's establishments to wait for you. You'll meet up with them and then you'll all go to Sora's school to collect him and explain what's going on. I suggest you hurry. Somehow, word has gotten out that Naruto's in the same city as Sora. Someone could already be on the move."

Riku took a deep breath as he took all of this in. Sora had a brother? His mother really wasn't who she said she was? His sweet, smiling brunette was wanted for unsavory things on the black market? People wanted to harm his Sora for something his uncles had done. He felt his blood boil and knew a slight tinge of red was coating his entire body at the thought of his lover being hurt. Without thought, he quickly stood up. He nodded to his father.

"Where's the safe house?" His voice was cold, no longer using anything pleasant. If someone was going to try to get Sora, they'd be doing just that—try. He knew he'd have to help keep Naruto safe too. Seeing his lover distraught over a newly-found brother was not an option.

"There's a mansion in the middle of a desert that Sora's father built years ago. It's in excellent condition and has been recently been renovated. Once you collect him you'll go to our family's private airport and take a jet there."

Riku nodded once again at the instruction and stood up. "I'll send messages through Cloud or Yazoo. Bye mother, bye father."

When he had pulled up to his parents' house, Riku Lysaio had walked in. With a mind full of cold fury and determination, Shadows' Angel had walked out.

(Sasuke's POV)

Sasuke did nothing to alleviate the painful grip Naruto had on his hand. They were sitting in the backseat of a gleaming SUV. Yazoo was driving and there was a very handsome brown haired man in the passenger's seat. The guy seemed like the gruff, silent type so Sasuke and Naruto left him alone after a quick, "Good morning." Yazoo had just informed them that they were going to go to his brother's restaurant to meet up with someone who'd help make this easier if complications arose.

Sasuke could tell Naruto was anxious for all of this to be over, and he wished he could promise his dobe it'd be over soon, but the pale raven knew it was far from over. Things were going to get ugly, and his only hope was that in the end it all would be worth it. He ran his thumb over the back of Naruto's hand and the blond looked at him, his eyes conveying the silent thanks for the small comfort. Sasuke nodded slightly to him and turned his attention back to their surroundings. They were pulling into the parking lot of an upscale looking restaurant. The large sign that was written in attractive cursive read 'Surreal." The parking lot was completely empty and Sasuke noted the 'CLOSED' sign on the front door.

They all piled out of the car- the six escorts posting themselves outside while Yazoo, Sasuke, Naruto, and the stranger walked inside. Sasuke immediately scanned the area quickly. He filed away possible escape points and anything that could possibly be used for defensive or offensive moves if something wrong came up. With that out of the way, he took in the place's décor. The place wasn't overly fancy and didn't look uncomfortably stuffy. The tables were low and draped it crème with gold trimmings with matching colored cushions surrounding them. There were a few dim chandeliers hanging about, but the place was mostly lit by the astounding amount of candle replica lights that flickered beautifully from their strategic placing. All-in-all, Sasuke could definitely see himself coming here to eat in the relaxed, but fine atmosphere.

An attractive blonde with similar features to Yazoo came from behind the back somewhere. He didn't look too intimidating like Yazoo. Physically, he was shorter with deep blue eyes and hair that was blonde and in stylish spikes. He was wearing a long sleeved, form fitting white shirt and black slacks with dress shoes. His black tie was draped over his shoulders instead of around his neck, but he didn't seem bothered by it. By the way relaxed he carried himself; you could tell he was in his element.

"Hello all. I take it everyone is up to speed with what's going on?" the man asked. At Yazoo's nod, he continued. "Good. My name's Cloud Lysaio, Yazoo's brother. I'm the one who helps Itachi stay in contact with important liaisons here. Squall, have you talked to Kadaj or Namine yet?"

The silent brown haired man from the passenger's seat spoke, and from their connected hands, Sasuke felt Naruto shiver slightly at his smooth, deep voice. "Namie texted me to let me know she just left Sora in the foyer. He's headed to class now. After this class, he has lunch." Cloud smiled at this and walked over to Squall. He gave him a small peck on the lips. "Thank you." Squall nodded back, and wrapped an arm around the smaller man's waist. Sasuke resisted the urge to smirk slightly. The man reminded Sasuke of his brother just a tad. He seemed like an asshole for the most part, but you could tell he had his moments whenever he was around the person he cared about the most.

Cloud directed them all to the back and they sat down it was appeared to be a conference room. Squall pulled out a mystery novel, effectively sending the message that he didn't want to be bothered. Cloud was obviously exempt from that because the man sat next to the brooding man and leaned his head on his shoulder. The room was filled with a sort of tense quiet before Naruto's voice surprisingly broke the silence.

"How do you all know him?"

Cloud, Squall, and Yazoo all shared looks. It was obvious who Naruto was talking about. Yazoo spoke first.

"I honestly just met the kid yesterday. He was distraught because of his mother, but he seemed to want to try to keep his composure in front of a stranger. He was small, but strong."

It was Cloud that spoke next. "I first met him about a year and a half ago. My sister is an avid artist like one of my brothers and she was using Sora as one of her models. We became good friends through his love of food and the fact that I owned multiple restaurants and cafes. He became my sort of guinea pig for new recipes."

Sasuke waited for Squall to go next. "He's my cousin on my mother's side." The man didn't seem like he wanted to say more, but Sasuke knew that wasn't going to deter Naruto from asking more. Sasuke tried to be cold towards Naruto when they first met, and look where that got him. Not that he was complaining of course. Squall was going to have to answer his blonde. As his cousin, that meant the man knew a lot more than the other two.

"Can you tell me about him Squall? Please?" At Naruto's slightly anxious tone, the man sighed.

"Leon."

"Huh?"

"My name is Leon. Only Cloud can call me Squall. Now what do you want to know about him?"

"What's his personality like? What does he look like? Favorite food? Favorite drink? I just want to know something about him. I don't like this stranger feeling." Sasuke ran a comforting hand up and down Naruto's back and he saw Leon slightly raise a brow at that. From the look in his eyes, Sasuke knew he'd have to talk to the man later—when Naruto wasn't around. Even though the exchange seemed long to Sasuke, it really was only a quick second and Leon had looked back at Naruto. He began talking.

"Sora is a very good person. I'm not saying this just because I'm his cousin; I'm saying it because it's the truth. He's very caring and sensitive. He's the kind of person that'll see a lost puppy or hurt bird and try to nurse it back to help before finding a proper place for it. He'll do anything for his family and friends and when he's doing something he cares about, he'll put his all into it. He's every energetic and is rarely seen without a bounce in his step. He has an innocent air about him, no matter what he goes through. He may seem submissive, but don't let that fool you. Sora can be very fiery and no-nonsense."

"Sounds like you have something in common with your brother." Sasuke stated. Naruto gave him a small smile before asking. "What's about what he looks like? Do we look alike at all?"

Leon took out a worn leather wallet and pulled out a small, crisp photo. Naruto leaned closer to Sasuke so he could see it also. The picture really didn't have any creases, and Sasuke could tell it was fairly recent. It showed Leon and who Sasuke guessed had to be Sora. The two of them appeared to be at a park. Leon was standing in front of a bench with a slight scowl on his face. His eyes however, were almost alight with amusement. Standing on the bench behind him was who Sasuke guessed to be Sora. His hair was a slightly darker brown than Leon's, and you could only tell because Sora was leaning forward slightly to rest his chin on Leon's shoulder. Sasuke studied the picture more closely and could see hints of his dobe in his younger brother's smiling face. They both had the same bright smile and uniquely colored blue eyes. The cute almost button-like nose and pouty lips graced both of their faces. Sasuke looked at Naruto and saw him close his eyes and take a deep breath, trying to keep his composure. Sasuke gently took the picture from his hands and slid it towards Leon. He stood up and pulled Naruto up along with him.

"Give us a moment while we wait for whoever else is coming. Is there another room we can go to?"

Cloud nodded. "As soon as you walk out of the door, go right—it's the second door on the left."

Sasuke thanked him and him and his blond walked to the room. Sasuke shut and locked the door and turned to face Naruto. He reached his arms out and Naruto immediately fell in to them. His cheek rested against Sasuke's chest and Sasuke never got tired of silently marveling at how well he fit against him. He ran his hands up and down Naruto's tense back soothingly and waited for him to start talking. He didn't have to wait for long.

"What if I find a way to fuck this up teme? What if he doesn't like me? What if he decides he'd rather not have to deal with me?"

Sasuke stopped pulled away slightly so he could cup Naruto's face between his hands. Dark grey orbs met with startling blue.

"Dobe, you won't. I know you've had a difficult life being considered the odd one out, but the people that have you in their lives are lucky. You're an amazing person and you're greatly loved. From what Leon said, I'm sure he'll want to stick with you once he digests all of this. After all, a lot is going to happen today and he's going to need some time to think. Once he does, he'll accept you. He'd be an idiot not to."

Naruto gave a bright smile and Sasuke thumbed away the tears before they could fully fall. "Thanks teme." The blond let out a watery chuckle. "Damn, the past couple of days have been crazy. I feel like a complete girl with all of the emotional crying and shit."

Sasuke let out a smooth chuckle and pressed Naruto close to him. One of his hands trailed down the front of Naruto's shirt, while the other trailed down his backside.

"I can assure you, you are definitely not a girl." The seductive edge to his voice made Naruto tilt his head up and without hesitation, connect his lips to Sasuke's. Sasuke felt a part of his anatomy react to the passionate kiss and could he could feel Naruto's reaction against his thigh. He smiled mentally and rolled his hips, feeling a jolt of desire shoot through him at Naruto's soft keen of want.

He flipped their positions and used one hand to hold Naruto's wrists together and pin him to the wall next to the door. He immediately latched his mouth onto the tan neck and started laving attention to it with a silken tongue, enjoying the moans Naruto let out in response. He slid his hand under the writhing blonde's shirt and his hand went to work on his left nipple, making sure to tweak it slightly so he could hear the delicious sounds his lover was making.

"S-Sa-Sasuke!" the blonde groaned when he nipped lightly on a his neck before licking the abused spot to alleviate the pleasurable sting.

"Hmm… dobe?" He whispered against his skin before trailing his lips back up to Naruto's and pecking them lightly. He removed both of his hands from their previous position and right above the button to Naruto's jeans, tracing the patch of skin on his stomach tauntingly.

"We can't have sex in here!" The blonde whispered fiercely. Sasuke looked down at the bulges in both of their pants. He was about to respond that technically, they actually could but he knew the dobe wouldn't react positively to that. Another alternative came to his mind and he actually smiled a little. He looked into Naruto's eyes and saw blue eyes look at him in suspicion.

"You're smiling teme…what are you thinking?"

Sasuke picked Naruto up and the smaller male instinctively wrapped his legs around Sasuke's waist.

"We may not be able to have sex dobe, but I think I can still come up with a pleasurable experience." With that said, he grabbed the blonde's hips while Naruto wound his arms around his neck. Their lips met again and moved against each other's sensually before the raven prodded his lover's lips with his tongue. As soon as they parted, Sasuke pushed Naruto down slightly so both of their clothed erections ground against each other. Both parties moaned into the other's mouth as the friction sent a wave of pleasure through them both. Sasuke pulled his face away from Naruto for a moment to take a look at his lover while he continued to grind against him rhythmically. Naruto's perfectly tan skin was flushed red and his eyes were closed. His lips were kiss-swollen and parted and small pants intermingled with moans of satisfaction were coming from them. A hickey was obvious on the side of his neck from where he had been sucking on it a few minutes before. All-in-all, his blonde look thoroughly debauched and the possessive side in him was pleased to say it was because of him that his blonde was feeling this way.

He resumed plundering the dobe's mouth and in response, he felt his raven hair get tugged. He shivered and pressed harder against Naruto. He could stay like this forever.

"S'uke…so close." Naruto moaned in his ear and Sasuke reluctantly set him down. At his dobe's whimper of protest, Sasuke gave him a light kiss and nuzzled his smooth cheek against a whiskered once.

"I'm not done yet." With that said, he dropped down to his knees and deftly worked to get Naruto's pants down. When he succeeded his task, his eyes eyed the wonderful prize in front of him. If someone had told him years ago, he'd be on his knees in front of someone else; he would have slit their throats for even daring to suggest such a thing. But that was before Naruto became his everything. For Naruto, he made a lot of exceptions and he didn't mind it one bit. Knowing that it was him causing the blonde all of this pleasure made it all worthwhile. There was also a large part of him that actually enjoyed giving Naruto the pleasure he deserved. After that thought, he took the nicely-sized prize into his hot mouth in one go.

"Oh shit teme!"

The raven looked up and his eyes met Naruto's. Beneath the lust hazed eyes, he could see the love and devotion there and he made sure the dobe could see his also. He bobbed his head and got a nice rhythm going as tan hands massaged his scalp.

"Please…don't stop." Naruto groaned and Sasuke could do nothing but obey. It wasn't long before his mouth was filled with the unique flavor that was his dobe. He swallowed every drop and when he pulled away, he made sure that every inch of him was licked clean before he tucked him back into his boxers and did his pants back up. When he stood, Naruto moved to return the favor but Sasuke shook his head and pulled him in close for a tight hug.

"I'll be fine. You can pay me back later by letting me sink into you when we're officially alone. I bet it's almost time to go." Naruto nodded reluctantly against him and Sasuke took deep breaths and willed his problem away with a lot of force. The two of them pulled apart and made sure they looked presentable.

"Teme, did you really have to put a baseball on my neck!" Sasuke looked at Naruto through the mirror the blonde had spotted in the room and saw blue eyes glaring at him with annoyance. He smirked.

"I think it adds to your charm dobe." He opened the door for the blonde to walk out first. As his blonde walked out, he turned to shut the door.

"Oops, sorry!" He heard his dobe shout and on reflex, he whipped his arm out to catch him before he fell. A smooth chuckle filled the halls and Sasuke straightened Naruto up before looking at the source of it. In front of them stood a male that was slightly shorter than Sasuke, thought not by much at all. Even under the navy blue sweatshirt he was wearing you could see that his body was rippled with muscle, but still slightly lean. His skin was a healthy pale and his hair was shocking silver and spilled onto his shoulders.

"It's fine." The guy shrugged and Sasuke immediately recognized the voice. He looked at the guy dead in the eye and was met with the same startling aquamarine eyes from before. But this time, instead of seeing them under harsh rain and cloaks, he was seeing him in a well-lit hallway. He pulled Naruto to his side and wrapped a protective arm around him.

"Teme- what are you-"

"Riku, nice of you to join us, you'd think with your boyfriend in great danger you'd come faster." Yazoo's voice stopped the would-be confrontation. Yazoo, Cloud, and Leon had filtered out into the hallway and were watching the exchange with interest.

"I had to go pick up a few essentials. Things I needed and things I know Sora wouldn't feel comfortable without for a long period of time." The silver haired male, Riku, answered. "Now let's go. I don't like being this far way with all of this chaos in the horizon." As soon as he finished, a phone started to chirp insistently. Yazoo looked at his phone and then to Cloud and Riku. "It's our little brother Kadaj." He flipped it open and Sasuke knew by the way he put it on speakerphone that it wasn't going to be good.

"Get the fuck off of me! Hello? Hello?" A teenage male voice said. The group started to move. They made it outside just in time to see a fleet of cars speeding past with a few police cars going chasing after them, sirens blazing.

"Sasuke, you and Naruto ride with Riku. His car is the fastest and I know you and he can get to Sora the fastest." Yazoo ordered before throwing the phone to Riku. Sasuke didn't even have to nudge Naruto to follow the silver haired assassin to a sleek black Ferrari that was already humming. Naruto got into the back while Sasuke sat next to Riku in the front.

"Hellooo! Someone better answer me damnit!" The teenager, who Sasuke guessed was Kadaj, shouted.

"Kadaj, it's Riku. What the hell's going on?" The tires of the car screeched and they took off. Sasuke looked back at Naruto and saw his dobe biting his lip anxiously as he took in the blurring scenery around him.

"It's pandemonium everywhere! I went to the principal's office to talk to him about Sora and there was some random guy wearing the principal's nametag! Before I could comment, I was knocked out. When I came too, kids were running everywhere screaming about dead janitors in closets and my Trig teacher falling from the ceiling dead!"

"Where's Sora and Namine? They better be with you Kadaj!"

"Namine is right here. Sora made it to class before I did so I never got to see him. Namine got a text from Fredrick saying the classroom door was locked. The windows exploded and kids are climbing out and running all over campus like fucking idiots while these strangers run in like they're the fucking FBI!"

"So you don't know where the hell Sora is!"

"Namine saw him for a second but some guys shoved her aside and tied her to a chair like a damn animal before I found her. We're trying to find him through all of this mess it's just- GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY DUMB ASS! GO HOME!" With that, the line went dead and Riku let out a string of unpleasant curses. Sasuke didn't think it was possible, but the car speed up and before he knew it, it was doing a 360 before coming to a complete stop.

Sasuke hear Naruto gasp and they took in the surroundings of what was Sora's school. There were kids everywhere. They were screaming and running, in various directions. Some of the kids were limping and covered with bruises, while others weren't bruised, but had blood spatters on their clothes. There were unrecognizable men entering through a row of broken windows off to the right and some coming in through the front door. The police and remaining staff were trying to direct the kids away in some sort of order, but the raven knew it was in vain. Paramedics were trying to treat who they could and everything was like some sort of sick horror movie.

Riku jumped out of the car and Sasuke immediately followed. He turned to see Naruto about to get out also.

"Dobe, stay here." At Naruto's rapidly reddening face, he knew the blonde wasn't going to make it easier for him.

"What the hell teme! You see all of this craziness! I'm not leaving my brother alone in this shit! I'm going to help!"

"Naruto Uzumaki, for once just humor with me and not argue! Stay in the damn car! I refuse to lose you amid all of this because of you being stubborn. Just please listen to me!" Sasuke raised his voice and Naruto's eyes widened at the use of his full name. Sasuke never spoke to him like that unless the circumstances were dire. Naruto numbly got back in the car and shut and locked the doors. Sasuke knew he'd be in for it later, but at least he felt better with the dobe here than in all of this.

He watched Riku jumped nimbly on top of a parked truck and he joined him on the hood.

"Look for silver hair similar to mine or a pale blonde willowy female. Look for Sora as well. I assume you know what he looks like?"

Sasuke nodded and his eyes moved quickly over the grounds for the heads Riku instructed. "Leon showed me a picture." He glanced at the silver haired man and saw his eyes scanning also with a precision that would have been unnerving to one who didn't partake in their line of work.

"I know you're Ethreal."

"And I know you're Shadows."

"I don't like you one bit, but if you can help me get Sora back through all of this shit then you'll have my respect."

"I don't need your respect, but I don't want Naruto devastated so I'll help."

"You're so kind, bastard."

"Thanks, I get that a lot."

Sasuke saw a flash of brown from the corner of his right eye. To the far right of the school, there was an auburn haired teen dragging a brunette male out of the side of the school. Wherever he was tugging him wouldn't be able to be seen by the chaos and he knew Riku had to get to him quickly. The young male who had to be Sora was sobbing and screaming out in pain as he kicked his legs in vain to get away from the male dragging him. It didn't take a genius to figure out that guy's life was forfeit. He pointed out his discovery.

"Over there!"

Riku turned to where he was pointing. After another one of Sora's shouts filled the air, he looked to Sasuke.

"Mercy is not an option. Anyone that tries to stop me gets killed. Anyone who isn't a police officer, student, or confirmed associate; kill them." After those words, he pulled the hood of his navy blue sweatshirt up and was gone in a flash towards the moving targets. Cold fury and merciless intent was radiating off of him and Sasuke could understand that feeling all too well. He looked behind him towards Riku's black Ferrari. Naruto was ducking down in the back so there was no way he could see what Sasuke was about to do next. He pulled a blade from the sheath he had on his right calf and the untraceable gun with a silencer from his left calf. He pulled the hood of his blood red sweatshirt up so that his face was unrecognizable. He jumped down and let a small smile of glee come across his face as he spotted a random thug trying to follow Riku. He threw his blade and his aim was true.
