-"It's taking every ounce of strength I have to talk to you this way. I have to be as dirty and arrogant as possible. I have to destroy us! Cut us off! Break the ties that bind us, so they can never be mended. Merciless...tearing her to bits. Making her miserable. Yeah, that was simple. Breaking her heart."-

Sora laughed as Tidus nearly drooled all over himself. The reason for Tidus's new found stupidity was 5" 4', pale, brown haired, thin, with mismatched blue and green eyes. Yuna. She had recently transferred from Besaid High School, a school known for its ability to produce spectacular athletes, to St. Christopher's Academy, a school well known for its academics and music program, the same school that Tidus and Sora attended. Tidus's parents had the money for him to attend, where as Sora resided in St. Christopher's Orphanage and was accepted into the school with honors. Yuna could afford to go and had a voice that made the sun, moon, and stars seem to shine brighter. He punched Tidus in the arm to get his attention.
"Want me to find out what movie she's going to see?" he asked his star struck friend. Tidus, unable to form a full sentence, nodded in reply. Sora walked up to Yuna and tapped her on the shoulder. She spun around to face. "Hi, Yuna." She smiled.
"Hello, Sora. What are you doing here?" she asked and then blushed. "My, that was an awfully unintelligent question. You're here to see a movie like us." Sora nodded.
"Yeah. What are you going to see?" He asked.
"They're showing Resident Evil: Apocalypse Director's Cut," she replied. "Rikku, Paine, Tifa, and Kairi all wanted to go. So I agreed. Selphie and I are a bit nervous about it though. We heard that it's pretty violent. So what are you seeing?"
"Same as you. Tidus is here with me. I really don't like violent movies but it's the least I could do since I made him sit there in the church while I was praying." Sora said, sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Yuna giggled.
"You too seem to be such good friends. Hey, Sora. Can you do me a favor?" Yuna stated. Sora shrugged.
"Depends. It's not anything illegal, is it?" His face broke out in a huge grin. "Sure, Yuna. What can I do for you?" Yuna laughed outright at the reference to the song that she had written and sung at the school talent show.
"Can you ask Tidus if he'll sit next to me? Just in case I get scared," she requested quietly. Sora smiled again.
"No problem. I'm sure that he'll say yes." With that, Sora walked back to his friend who was still staring like an idiot. He pulled on Sora's sleeve, silently begging his friend to speak. "Okay, Tidus. They're seeing Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Now I have a request from fair lady, Yuna. She wishes that you sit next to her, just in case anything in the movie frightens her." Tidus's face became the picture of euphoria. He nodded frantically and went to but their tickets. Sora watched him as he walked away, shaking his head at his friend's lovesick ways. Little did Sora know that he too was being watched. Riku stood nearby, praising the Dark Prince. How fortuitous for him. The dark movie theater would be the perfect place to take the boy. (A/N: Did that sound perverted or is it just me?) Now that he was close by he could see why Lord Ansem wanted the boy. He was beautiful. The blond boy had called him Sora on the way. What a fitting name for such a creature.
'He's younger than the others though… Well, that doesn't matter. I just need to follow Ansem's orders and capture him. Then I will be part of the inner circle, just like Sephiroth.' Riku thought. He knew that he should be sneaking in the theater while everyone was occupied but he couldn't tear his eyes away from the boy. Sora was the image of perfection, slender like a girl with large sapphire eyes, slightly tanned skin and beautiful cinnamon brown hair that seemed to defy gravity. He was busy messing with something in his pocket; it looked like a beaded necklace or something. 'He reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on it. Have I seen him before?' Riku scoured his memory but could find no traces of him ever meeting the beauty in front of him. Someone knocking into him shook him out of his daze. He looked to glare at the person to see that it was the blond friend of his prey.
"Sorry." Tidus apologized. "I wasn't looking where I…" he stopped short when he met blazing ocean eyes. His mind went into overdrive. Silver hair, ocean eyes and pale skin. Riku Errata. Brother of Sephiroth. His blue eyes went wide. "Oh my God, I am soooo sorry. I really didn't look where I was going. It will never happen again." Sora appeared by his side. Riku groaned. Great, now his target had seen him. This did not bode well. Tidus only looked more frightened.
"Tidus, we have to hurry. Or else someone other than you will sit next to Yuna," Sora joked. When Tidus didn't reply, he became worried. His friend was unusually pale, his mouth agape and his eyes were large with fear. "Tidus, are you okay?" Tidus turned to look at him.
"Yes, I'm fine," he replied, his voice unusually high-pitched. His eyes were still wide with terror. Sora looked from Tidus to the boy standing in front of him. He gasped slightly. The boy was gorgeous. The most amazing thing about him was his hair. Beautiful shoulder-length silver hair that fell into startling eyes that were the color of the ocean. Eyes that were fastened on him. After a few seconds the eyes averted and looked toward the ticket counter.
"It's fine, kid. No big deal. An accident, right?" he said in a soft voice. He captivated Sora. Sora opened his mouth to say something but Tidus grabbed his wrist and began to drag him away.
"Yeah, an accident. Well, we have to be going now, good-bye." Tidus stammered. He broke out into a full run dragging his friend along with him. After going a safe distance way from Riku, he stopped to catch his breath. Sora looked at him curiously.
"What was that about?" he asked. Tidus looked at Sora in disbelief.
"You honestly don't know?" The blonde questioned. Sora shook his head, his spikes bouncing. "That was Riku Iscariot. He's Sephiroth's younger brother." At Sora's still confused look, Tidus groaned and slapped his hand to his forehead. "Don't tell me you don't know who Sephiroth is either?"
"Well, I've heard the name before. But I don't know exactly where it's from." Sora admitted.
"He's the second in command in a cult. The Fallen, in fact. One of the most dangerous organizations on the island in fact. Murder, drug dealing… each of the members have a rap sheet as long as this railing." Tidus gestured to the long silver railing leading from the top of the stairs to the basement. "They all have a hand in that kind of stuff. They're called the Fallen cause they're leader says that he is one of the angels who fell with Satan after the war of Heaven." Sora gasped.
"That's scary. So he's part of the cult, too?" Sora asked, pointing back to the spot where they had left Riku.
"Yeah. Sephiroth got him in. From what I hear, Riku isn't trusted as much as Sephiroth is," Tidus replied. "Well, enough gossip. Let's go see Yuna!" Sora laughed as Tidus ran to Yuna and her friends. After he had departed, Riku slipped out from the shadows, a smaller form next to him, practically clinging to his arm. He growled in annoyance, he hated to be clung to.
"Well, that stupid kid just made it a hell of a lot harder to complete my mission. I hope you can rectify that…right, Kairi," he said, looking down in disgust at the girl clutching his arm.
"Oh yeah, leave it to me. He trusts me. So what am I getting out of this?" she asked. Riku glowered at her.
"I won't tell anyone that you stole on of the silver chalices off of the alter last week." He replied. "I'll save you a few fingers…or your entire hand." Kairi shuddered.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure to get him in the right place so that you can snatch him. The little fool is so trusting… given his past you wouldn't think that he would be…" she said.
"What about his past?" Riku questioned, his eyes narrowing suspiciously. Kairi giggled.
"It's a secret. I swore never to tell another living soul… maybe Anse…. Your Lord will tell you. I'm sure that he knows," she answered, smirking at the fact that she knew something that Riku didn't. Riku growled under his breath. Kairi annoyed him. The less time he spent with her the better. Despite the fact that she was helping him, it angered him that she would deceive someone who trusted her enough to tell her his secrets. It was entirely shameful. It wasn't like Kairi was part of the Fallen… she wasn't trusted enough. She just slept with some of the other men and through them gained a steady following of people. But it wasn't like the Fallen weren't using Kairi too. She had more knowledge of what went on with their opponents, (She had slept with most of them as well.) and would tell the members of the Fallen whatever she managed to get the other men to say. But that was the only way she was useful.
"Alright, Kairi. Let go." Riku ordered. "I've got work to do and so do you." Kairi reluctantly let go of Riku's arm and pouted.
"Awww! Ri-ku. You never let me spend any time with you," she whined. Riku gave her a fierce glare that made her yelp in fear.
"I don't go out of my way to associate with whores," he replied coolly. She gave another frightened yelp and ran off in the direction that her "friends" went. Riku watched her go. "You had better not mess up. I won't tolerate anyone getting in my way." Riku slowly walked out of the cinema, a smirk crossing his lips.
