Riku sighed as he and Rhyme made it back to the kitchen in the servant's quarters without being spotted. His relief was short lived when he was grabbed by the back of his short roughly. He looked behind him to see Leon glaring down at him. He felt Rhyme shuffle away from him, but kept his eyes locked with the man's.

"I'm grateful that you took over Cloud's task for him, but next time you do so I will have to punish you, especially since I had you on another task," Leon warned.

"Why's it matter?" Riku asked.

Leon dropped him, "First of all you are not actually a member of the staff here so therefore allowing you entrance to the mansion could get me in trouble. Second, if the lords found out that a servant other then Cloud had done that task the servant would be punished and dismissed at least, at worst possibly jailed."

"What?" Riku asked shocked at the heavy consequence.

"If anyone goes against our lords then they are thoroughly punished, jail wouldn't be the worst punishment given. If anything, Xehanort may just silence you to keep what you saw a secret," Leon stated, "Anyways just remember I am the head of the servants, you must obey me if our lords don't order you to do something in person. Am I understood?"

"Yes sir…" Riku muttered, not liking the older man.

Leon nodded, and went to finish the supplies, Riku helping him unwillingly. A few minutes in though, a bell was rung and Leon stopped working. As he headed for the door leading upstairs, he motioned for Riku to follow. Riku hurried to catch up with the adult, taking a deep breath as he realized they were being summoned.

He gulped quietly as they made their way through the mansion before standing in front of Xehanort's office door. He watched as Leon knocked, and not a moment later they were told to enter. Leon entered the room, and made sure to stay ahead of Riku as they approached the desk. Riku kept his eyes trained ahead, not looking at either of the sons that were sitting in the chairs in front of their father. He could feel one of the son's eyes on him, and a quick glance told him it was Ansem who was looking him over.

"Is everything going smoothly Leon?" Xehanort asked.

Leon bowed his head, "Yes my lord."

"What is the condition of my…" Xehanort paused, his eyes having glanced at me, "…pet?"

"Cloud will have to give you a proper report on that once he returns from his task of delivering your letters. He had left right after he went to tend to him and I was not given the full report," Leon stated.

"Have him report to me immediately once he gets back," Xehanort stated, before nodding in my direction, "And who is he?"

Leon glanced slightly at me, "This young man came looking for a job here at the mansion. I put him to work carrying supplies in to test him out, but told him it was ultimately up to you to decide, my lord."

Riku watched as Xehanort waved him forward and followed the lord's orders. He could feel Xehanort studying him closely, looking him over while in deep thought. Riku kept looking straight ahead, keeping his calm and ignoring the old man the best he could.

"Are you strong boy?" Xehanort asked after a few.

"Yes, sir."

"Do you follow orders well?"

"Yes, sir."

"Would you give any information about me to my enemies?"

"No, sir."

"Would you keep everything that happens in this house a secret?"

"Yes, sir."

Xehanort sat back, watching him closely once more. Riku could practically se the wheels turning in the man's head. It seemed like forever before the man looked back to Leon.

"Get him a room and have him begin working immediately. We need a good strong hand around here," Xehanort told the brunette.

"Yes, my lord."

Xehanort nodded, "You are both dismissed."

Riku watched as Leon bowed and turned to leave the room, and followed after the older man. He breathed a sigh of relief once they were out of the office and Leon glanced at him again before heading back downstairs. Riku followed, waiting for the man's orders as he remained silent. Before the brunette could say anything as they reached the kitchen, the door opened and Cloud entered looking slightly out of breath.

"Cloud," Leon called as he turned to the blonde.

"Yes?" Cloud asked as he glanced quickly at Riku.

"The lords want to know of their pet's status. Have Riku tell you what he saw and then get up their right away. Riku come see me immediately afterwards," Leon ordered.

Riku nodded as he looked at Cloud once the brunette walked away and the blonde began to speak, "So how were the cuts?"

"They looked like they are healing well, maybe a few more days?"

Cloud nodded, "Thank you…now get to Leon immediately."

~Cloud~

Cloud began heading up the stairs as soon as Riku went to find Leon. He sighed, as he realized what Riku's reply most likely meant for Sora. If the cuts were going to be fully healed in a few days then he would be made to begin working again and soon. Cloud hated his son's life but knew there was nothing he could do for him. He broke out of his thoughts as he found himself in front of his lord's office.

Cloud knocked once and waited, till he heard someone call from within the room, "Come in!"

Cloud entered the room, and made sure to close the door behind him. He walked towards the desk slowly, eyes only facing forward and only concentrating on Xehanort. He didn't care about the lord's two sons. He resisted the urge to grit his teeth when he noticed Xehanort seemingly perk up at the sight of him, knowing the man knew their meeting was about Sora.

Before Cloud could say anything Xehanort spoke, "Well? How is his condition?"

"He'll be fully healed in a few days at most," The blonde answered.

"Will any scars be left?" Ansem asked as he approached his father's desk.

The blonde resisted the urge to sigh, "I do not believe so, and the wounds have been healing nicely so there shouldn't be a single scar."

"Good," Xehanort said with a pleased smirk, "You are dismissed; I have business to attend to."

Cloud bowed before leaving, knowing exactly what business his lord had to attend to. It was obvious that the man was keen on getting Sora back on his job, so he was probably planning to have the boy start practicing now. That way once his skin was perfect again, the young brunette could go about servicing his lords again.

Cloud held down the urge to throw up as he returned to the servant's quarters. He immediately went to his bedroom and shut the door, ignoring Leon telling him dinner was ready for the servants. He lay down on the bed, and tried to clear his head, hating what he knew was going to happen to his son again.

~Sora~

The brunette stared out the window sadly, keeping out of sight of any unwanted eyes so as not to alert anyone of his presence in the lords' house. His eyes downcast as he watched people walk along the streets freely, missing his freedom already. He moved his eyes up from the street to the sky, and watched the changing colors as the sun sank, smiling. Though the special moment was ruined as he heard a knock on the door.

He turned his hand dropping from the curtain as the door opened without his permission. His sunken eyes met those of his Lord Ansem's prideful and lustful golden ones. Ansem walked into the room, closing the door behind him, and Sora obediently moved to his bed, knowing he would be ordered to take a seat. As soon as he sat on the bed, his lord joined him, and immediately pulled the brunette close. Sora resisted the urge to shiver and move away from the man, hating the touch.

He felt the man's hand pull the bottom of his shirt up, allowing the older man to see his back. Ansem's face moved close to his ear and he shivered as warm breath hit his ear. The silver-haired man's head leaned against his, the lord's lips ghosting over his ear. Sora resisted the urge to once again jump away from the uncomfortable position.

"Those are healing up very nicely, the skin in definitely smoother and not a hint of a scar will be left," Ansem spoke directly into Sora's ear.

"Yes, sir…"

"Father wishes for you to begin your practices again. As soon as the last cut is gone, you will perform for us," Ansem explained smirking as he licked Sora's ear.

Sora shivered, "Of course my lord."

They sat there in silence, the lord moving his tongue over Sora's ear occasionally, causing the young boy to shiver. Sora waited patiently for the lord to be done and for the time where he would be left alone. Xehanort and Xemnas hated seeing him with marred skin, so he was never given attention by them. So Ansem paying such close attention to him was definitely weird indeed.

"Even with those wounds you're just as beautiful," Ansem whispered lustfully, "In fact I think they add to your beauty."

Sora's eyes widened before he clenched them closed tightly, wishing for the older man to leave. He had no such luck as he was pushed onto his back and the older man covered his body immediately. He felt the man's hands move all over his body, especially over his private and ass. He didn't fight as the man massaged his ass cheeks, a finger circling his entrance every once in a while.

Before the man could continue the door to the bedroom opened and Xemnas appeared in the door way. He watched the scene, but didn't move to help immediately, but his eyes did sweep over Sora and his look grew hungrier. Ansem's movements stopped, and his eyes narrowed as he moved away from the brunette to look at his brother, his eyes showing his displeasure.

"What?" Ansem snapped.

"Father said that you are not allowed to touch Sora just yet," Xemnas stated, "He says he wants the first chance to claim the boy again."

Ansem clenched his teeth, "Fine."

He abruptly pulled away from Sora completely and stormed out of the room. Sora sat up weakly, watching Xemnas as he did so. Xemnas tore his eyes away from Sora resisting the temptation to take the boy and exited the room. Sora sighed as he sank on the bed, after changing his clothes. He wanted to get away from this place so bad, but he knew he would be trapped here for the rest of his life.
