Sora stared out the window of Xehanort's study bored as his lord worked. He so wanted to go out but since his lord was home he was sure he couldn't. He glanced at his master as Xehanort stood from his desk, obviously done with his work.
"I'm going out now Sora, I have business that needs to be taken care of and I won't be back till late."
Sora almost jumped for joy, finding his chance to get out, "Well would it be all right if I go to the market?"
Xehanort raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"I wanted to look at more accessories and stuff for my performances; surely that's a good enough reason?" Sora asked, looking at Xehanort.
"I suppose, one of my sons will be picking you up though."
Sora nodded, "Of course."
"Then hurry and get ready."
Sora nodded and hurriedly went to go grab his cloak; as soon as he did he went to meet Xehanort at the entrance. They both exited and got into the carriage which immediately began heading to the market. During the ride Sora was pulled close to Xehanort and Xehanort began to play with him as the carriage made its way down the cobbled streets.
Sora couldn't resist the moan that escaped from him as he grew hard. As much as he hated what was done to him, he couldn't resist giving in to the pleasure. He let out a quiet cry as he released into Xehanort's hand, and huffed as his master pulled his hand out of Sora's pants.
He was forced to watch as Xehanort licked his seed off of his hand before kissing Sora real fast. Sora resisted the urge to shudder before Xehanort pulled away as they reached the market. Sora quickly put his hood up to hide his beat red face and climbed out of the carriage. It took off not soon after with Xehanort inside and after it was out of site Sora began to make his way through the market.
He soon heard the sounds of a musical instrument he wasn't familiar with and followed the sound to it. He stopped as he saw the group from the other day, the girls putting on a show for the audience. Xion was dancing while Kairi played an Ocarina and Namine a hand harp, in Xion's hand she held a tambourine which she hit against her side or other hand every once and a while.
Sora pushed his way to the front and watched in amazement at Xion's movements. They were so graceful and beautiful, her body swaying in time with the gypsy music being played. Sora longed to join her, liking the idea of such a free flowing dance as hers. He could tell she was just letting her body move on its own to the music. Her movements were practiced but still captivating.
As the song ended Sora clapped with some of the audience and watched as a few dropped coins in their basket. He noticed the silver haired boy quickly collect the money and store it away as the girls took a quick break. He jolted as he noticed Xion staring at him with a smile. He waved slightly which made her approach him.
"Long time no see! You haven't been around lately."
Sora nodded, "Sorry, been busy with work."
Xion stared at him deep in thought, "Want to join me?"
Sora looked at her shocked, "I couldn't…I can't remove my hood or…"
Xion cut him off, "If you remove it away from site of others then no one will know."
Sora contemplated it before nodding, though a bit reluctant. He really did want to join her and have some fun for once. She pulled him to the back and made sure no one could see as he removed the cloak. She looked over his loose fitting white shirt and flowing dark blue pants. She smiled approvingly at the outfit.
"So you ready?"
"I…I guess…though how do I dance to the music? I've only done practiced dances."
Xion blinked, "Just let your body move with the flow. Don't think about it."
Sora wanted to ask her more before she pulled him back to the front. He could feel the guys from before eyes on him as he stood next to Xion. She nodded to Namine and Kairi to begin playing and they smiled nodding. As the music started Xion raised her hands and Sora copied her, he watched as she closed his eyes and he did so as well.
As the music began to pick up he began to feel his body move on its own. As he got more into it he heard Xion laugh and opened his eyes to look at her. She was watching him as they moved around each other in similar movements. Soon they were actually touching as they danced and making a spectacular show.
It seemed too soon when the song ended, and as Sora heard the crowd's applause and change being dropped in the basket he felt empty. For a few moments he had felt completely free of his fate, completely free of the chains that bound him. Though that brief moment after the dance where he laughed with Xion was quickly interrupted as a whistle was blown.
Guards appeared along with none other than Ansem, who glared over the gypsy group. Though when his eyes landed on Sora he looked absolutely livid, and Sora could only freeze. He heard the others jump quickly in alarm at the guard's appearance as many people scrambled away.
"Capture the gypsies!" Ansem ordered.
Before Sora could do anything his arm was grabbed by Xion who began to drag him away from the scene. Sora had enough time to grab his cloak before they ran from the guards. The gypsies ran into the back streets taking sudden turns as much as possible, and eventually losing most of the guards though they could still hear someone following them. They soon turned a corner and froze as they saw it was a dead end.
"Oh no! What do we do?" Kairi cried worriedly.
"We turn back and quick! We can get out of here if we move fast!" Riku ordered.
As they turned though the one that had followed them so closely appeared at the entrance of the alleyway. Sora stared, petrified at Ansem who glared at them all. Riku and the other guys quickly went to the front of the group as the man approached menacingly. Guards appeared behind him, though only a couple and Sora knew he had to do something.
"You're all under arrest. Come quietly and none of you shall be harmed."
Roxas glared, "Yeah right! You wouldn't mind killing us right now!"
Ansem glared, "I suppose you are going to resist then."
"It's better to die fighting then being killed for not fighting," Vanitas growled.
Sora watched as the guards drew their swords ready to attack the boys and he saw Ansem move to bring out his own sword. Sora acted fast before anyone could launch an attack and stood in the way, directly in front of Ansem and stared at him.
"Stop, don't hurt them please!" Sora pleaded.
Ansem glared at him, "And why shouldn't I?"
"I…If you don't…" Sora began, though he couldn't think of anything.
"What you have nothing you can threaten me with?"
Sora gritted his teeth knowing it to be true; Ansem was his lord so he couldn't fight him. The only thing that would make Ansem think of backing off maybe a threat to Sora himself. Sora nodded as he got an idea and quickly took Xion's knife from her and held it close to himself.
"If you don't let them go I'll use it on myself," Sora threatened.
"Sora! You don't know what you're talking about!" Kairi shouted.
Ventus looked at him confused, "They don't care about servants or gypsies, and they'll just let you do it!"
Sora ignored them and stared at Ansem who stared back, his eyes livid at Sora's defiance. He raised a hand and the guards put away their weapons without argument. Sora slowly lowered the knife but didn't let it go as Ansem took his hand off his sword. The gypsies looked really confused at this and looked between Sora and Ansem.
"They can go," Ansem stated before continuing, "And we are returning home."
"Who's we?" Namine whispered to Kairi.
Sora nodded, moving towards Ansem, and as soon as he was within the older man's reach he was yanked close and his wrists held tightly. He cringed as he dropped the knife from the pain in his wrists. He heard a growl, and smiled at his friends reassuringly at them and could see Xion and them looking at him worriedly and in confusion.
"Let these vermin go! My servant and I will be returning to the manor immediately," Ansem told the soldiers.
"Servant?" Roxas asked.
"Of course my lord," One soldier asked.
The other moved forward, "Should we contact Lord Xehanort about this?"
"My father doesn't need to be informed. I will let him know when he returns home, and I will also see to our servant's punishment for disobeying orders."
Sora looked down at the ground, not fighting Ansem as he talked with the guards. He couldn't look his friends in their eyes. They knew he was a servant before, but now they knew he was Xehanort's servant, the servant of the one who was bent on exterminating the gypsy race. Sora's arms were released and his cloak shoved at him, and he quickly put it on. As soon as he did he felt Ansem grab his wrist again and begin pulling him from the alley.
He never looked back even as he heard Xion scream his name. He only looked down, ignoring the gazes the crowds sent indiscreetly towards them. They soon reached the carriage and he felt dread fill him as he saw Xemnas standing near the carriage they were using. Sora was pushed into the carriage and his lords climbed in after him and slammed the door shut.
The carriage began to move down the streets and the ride was silent. He could feel the fury coming from his masters and he dreaded the moment they arrived home. The ride seemed to go by much faster than it did and Sora was pulled into the house roughly. Before he could react he was pulled down the stairs to the basement, passing many servants on their way down. He chose to ignore them, not even being able to glance at his parents as he was led to their punishment room. The door was slammed shut as soon as they entered the room and Sora cowered as he was grabbed roughly.
Xemnas began to undress him, pulling off the cloak and then ripping his shirt off. Sora cried out at the pain, not used to being treated so roughly. He felt his wrists being held firmly again and cold steel being wrapped around him. He was scared of what was going to happen as he stood in just his pants in front of his masters.
His eyes widened as he saw Ansem grab a whip and he began struggling. He shouted as the whip bit into his skin and tears began falling. He didn't know how long the punishment went on for; all he knew was the pain he was feeling. After what seemed like forever he heard them leave the room and he was left hanging, his head drooping onto his chest as he zoned out.
After a while he heard someone approach the room and he weakly lifted he head as Xehanort entered and glared at him. He could tell his lord was displeased with him and he was afraid of what was going to happen to him now.
"So you disobeyed my orders."
Sora nodded, "Y-yes…"
"Starting today you are no longer allowed out of this manor. If you take on step outside without myself or one of my sons with you then you shall be punished. Do you understand?
"Yes master…" Sora answered.
Sora felt Xehanort unlock the chains and he nearly collapsed to the floor, but his lord caught him before he hit it. Though this cause him a lot of pain due to the wounds all over his body. He allowed his master to drag him up the stairs and to his room before he was left alone. As he lay on the bed he heard a knock and Cloud enter.
Cloud gave him a worried look before moving to clean his wounds and put ointment on them. They couldn't have Sora obtaining any scars from what happened. His skin needed to look perfect no matter what. Sora just stared ahead, not fighting with Cloud or reacting. He glanced out the window as Cloud finished and finally allowed himself to collapse into a dark sleep, now locked firmly inside his own personal hell.
